The game is based on actual events that took place during the Soviet military campaign in Afghanistan. 9th Company follows the story of a ragged band of young recruits undergoing brutal training in Uzbekistan's Fergana Valley and culminates with a bloody stand against the Mujahideen warriors on a nameless mountain top in Afghanistan. It's the Battle of Thermopylae all over again: one Russian fighter against 10 Afghanis!
9th Company recreates in detail the events that took place during the last
large-scale Soviet military operation. Few know the history: the 9th Company
of the 345th Guards Airborne Regiment came under heavy fire on Hill 3234 on
January 7th, 1988. They managed to stop several attacks by an estimated 400
Mujahideen and Pakistani mercenaries and held their position for two gory
days. The company lost 6 men, and the remaining 28 of the total 39 were
wounded. Two 9th Company soldiers were posthumously awarded the Golden Star
medal and the title of Soviet Hero. ':
