Chapter 58

The early morning sun had just revealed a ray of light among the mountains in the distance. The ancient city of Pagman was bathed in the morning sun like in the past. A group of Soviet soldiers in biochemical protective suits broke into this deadly place. ancient city.

Ten soldiers armed with weapons cleared the way ahead. As soon as they arrived outside the city, Seryozha saw the body of the guarding Paghman sentry leaning against the wall with his eyes wide open. The flesh on his face and hands had festered. Now, everyone stepped over his corpse lightly, passed through the city gate, and in front of them was a wide avenue leading to the other side of the city. Seryozha raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him smashed open the gates of the houses along the street and broke in. Everyone held weapons in their hands as soon as they saw them, and then began to search house by house. Pagman survived people.

Although it was midsummer, not a single fly could be seen in the whole city, and the corpses of dead cats and dogs could be seen on the streets from time to time, and the surfaces of these corpses were also festered. This city is completely finished, except for the festering dead, and the poisoned living dead who are also festering. Seryozha and the others did not receive the slightest resistance to their actions. Even if the residents of Paghman wanted to resist at this time, they would probably be powerless.

Seeing this scene similar to the one in the Resident Evil movie, Sergey blamed himself very much, but he had no other choice. The relationship between people has become life and death in war. If Sergey last night If they didn't do this, everyone is afraid that they have already gone to the execution ground of the Pagmans. In order to make himself feel better, Seriosha could only ask his comrades to try their best to treat the living Pagmans.

Sergey Sha led everyone from the north of the city, broke into every house in the ancient city, and did not miss any place. They fully absorbed the experience of the last failure and completely turned this fortress-like city upside down. At noon, everyone finally completed the task of searching the ancient city of Paghman. Under the sweltering protective clothing, everyone was already sweating profusely and exhausted. Those Pagmans who were still alive were carried by Soviet soldiers into the rushing river to wash their bodies. Sergesha ordered a fire to be lit around them, and the flames swallowed the phosphine gas in the air, so that they could be slightly Reduce some phosphine levels. There is only so much Seryozha can do now for these innocent residents of Paghman.

Under the guard of everyone, Seriosha planted a flag of the Soviet Red Army on the tallest building in Pagman City, marking the complete occupation of the city by the Soviet army. As the planner of this operation, Seryozha exclusively enjoyed this honor among all expectations. Pilot Anton made contact with Kabul Airport through the communication equipment on the An-22 transport plane. The operator who received Anton's message thought it was an enemy conspiracy at first. After Anton took the trouble to explain it many times, they finally agreed to send a helicopter to take a look.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the roar of the helicopter sounded over the ancient city of Pagman. The pilot was checking the city in the sky. A Red Army flag fluttered with the wind at the highest point of the city. The pilot who noticed the anomaly quickly reported what he had seen to his superiors. Soon the commander-in-chief of the Kabul theater in Afghanistan called Anton directly, and he asked to speak with Lebed.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, we have occupied the ancient city of Paghman under the leadership of Comrade Seryozha, and now we are waiting for you to receive it. By the way, this An-22 heavy transport aircraft is now intact in our hands. The city is filled with corrosive gas, please pay attention to these..." Lebed reported the situation here to the commander-in-chief incoherently on the phone, because there was no preparation in advance, Lebed also thought of what to say, so There are no rules.

The commander on the other side of the phone didn't pay attention to these details at all. He waited quietly for Lebed to finish all his words, and finally asked: "Is that Comrade Seryozha the one who was so passionate under the enemy's gun that he would rather die than surrender?" ?”

"yes,

That is Seryozha, Commander-in-Chief, please give credit to Comrade Seryozha, he saved us all. "Lebed said excitedly on the other side of the phone.

"Okay, Comrade Lebed, no problem! Not just Comrade Seryozha, I want to give credit to all of you, you are all heroes of the Soviet Union, thank you for everything you have done for the motherland, and welcome home." The commander-in-chief didn't hang up the phone immediately after he finished speaking. He didn't hang up until Lebed finished. Soon, a large number of rescuers from the Kabul theater rushed to Pagman. At the same time, some relevant personnel of the Soviet Air Force and some engineers also dared to go to Pagman to meet the An-22 heavy transport aircraft.

This good news began to be reported layer by layer, from the Kabul theater to the Ministry of Defense, and finally to the Kremlin. General Secretary Brezhnev was so excited that he was almost sent to the hospital after learning the good news.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the support troops from Paghman returned to Kabul in a mighty manner. They were not sent back to the 103rd Airborne Division, but went straight to the Kabul Theater Command. On the way back, Seryozha saw through the car window that the road had been cleared, and there were Soviet soldiers standing at regular intervals on both sides of the road. They were dressed in neat military uniforms and stood there tall and straight. Whenever the vehicle that Seryozha and the others were riding passed by, the sentries on both sides would salute them.

When they finally arrived at the headquarters, the commander-in-chief of the Kabul theater and the Soviet ambassador to Afghanistan had been standing there waiting for a long time, and the surroundings were already crowded with people from various troops.

The soldiers of the Red Army, as Sergey and the others got out of the car one by one, bursts of cheers came to mind at the scene! Many people shed tears of excitement at this moment.

Seryozha and the others were escorted to the residence, and each was assigned a separate room. Sergey and the others walked into the room for a short rest, took a shower and changed into the brand new military uniforms that had been prepared, after which there was a welcome dinner. Food and wine are available here, and the supply is open. Everyone has been starving for many days. Before the commander-in-chief announced the start, everyone wolfed down the food. The commander-in-chief looked at everyone cheerfully, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Many people choked because they ate too fast, and the sound of tableware colliding kept coming and going.

Lebed leaned on his crutches and raised his wine glass with difficulty and stood up, suggesting that everyone should have a toast for Seryozha. Everyone at the scene stopped immediately and stood up neatly. At this moment, a group of people in KGB uniforms broke in suddenly. As soon as they entered the door, they rushed straight at Seryozha and his brothers. Before Seryozha could understand what was going on , The cold handcuffs are already leaning on Seryozha's hands!

"The suspects Sergei Ivanovich Ulyanov, Boris Ilyich Pogorovsky, Yakov Ilyich Pogorovsky, Yuri- Vladasovich Grachev, Mikhail Vladasovich Grachev. The five of you are now suspected of being involved in a murder that occurred in Gorky last year. Now please go back and assist in the investigation , please cooperate." The leader, Vladimir-PJ, said to him blankly.
