These preparations are made based on the information I obtained.
For example, the information mentioned that Afghanistan is mostly mountainous...not suitable for mobile troops to operate. In fact, I have known this a long time ago, and the troops have been trained in advance for this. Now that I have confirmed this, I am the armored vehicle
, there is no need to use the tank company and the artillery company.
For example, the climate in Afghanistan is hot during the day and cold at night... I didn't expect this. I think this may be due to the serious damage to Afghan trees and grasslands. In ancient times, Afghanistan was full of forests and grasslands, and was over-exploited and
After grazing, it became the current desert...
When plants are directly exposed to the sun, they will absorb the sun's heat to cool down, and will keep the heat in place after the sun sets. Therefore, the temperature will not be too high in places with more vegetation. On the contrary, if it is a desert,
The sun can roast sweet potatoes as soon as it comes out, and it enters the ice cellar as soon as it sets.
So we have to bring the marching quilt...
These preparations are relatively easy, and the more troublesome preparation is translation... The information knows that the official languages of Afghans are Persian and Pashto...
This made me feel embarrassed. It was time to go, where else to find people who could speak Persian and Pashto?
However, Commander Zhang solved this for me. In fact, he had long wanted to be ahead. Before the Afghan expedition team sent back the information, they secretly convened soldiers in Persian or Pashto.
Sometimes I wonder...Why are there any soldiers in our army who can speak Persian and Pashto?
Later, when Sahide found me, I realized...
"Battery Commander!" Saheed asked me strangely: "Why are our troops using those Persian speakers?"
"What do you care about it?" I said angrily: "If you have any ideas on the top, do you need to ask more questions?"
Actually, I don't plan to say more because of the principle of confidentiality.
"I..." Saheed said aggrievedly: "I don't want to ask more. I just said... I can do it in Persian!"
"How do you do it?" I couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you say this too?"
"Persian is the language of our ancestors, right?" Saheed explained: "I am from the Hui people... This is what our ancestors said, but now there are fewer people... I heard from the old people in our village that it is because it is because
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, we were forbidden to speak Persian dialect, so many people forgot that they can’t speak much now!”
"Oh!" I suddenly realized after hearing this... Hui people, don't eat pork, Muslims... I used to think they were ethnic minorities, but now I'm talking about it... Hui people in our country may have moved from Afghanistan.
"Then why do you speak Persian now?" I asked curiously.
"I am from Xinjiang!" Saheed said: "Afghanistan is next to us. Many of us go to Afghanistan to do business... they are the kind of buying and selling jade and jewelry. There are also people in Afghanistan who come to our village to do business... and add
If you don’t learn Persian, you won’t be able to understand the Quran. Over time, more and more people will be able to meet!"
"Oh!" I nodded.
I have to admit that I lack geographical knowledge and don’t know that Xinjiang borders Afghanistan, but I have heard of Afghan jade… It seems that there is a road called “Lapis lazuli” between Afghanistan and China, just like
Like the Silk Road, Afghanistan is rich in gems, so its trade with China has never stopped since ancient times, so there is naturally cultural exchange.
So. Just like there are many Chinese people who speak Vietnamese on the China-Vietnam border, there are also many people who speak Afghanistan on the China-Arab border.
So this problem was solved. Saheed and others not only speak Persian, but also have the same beliefs as Afghans. What customs and habits are similar, and taboos are also similar... Later I learned that these taboos are all the Quran It is specified in it. So of course it is the same.
The next step is to let the soldiers learn how to get along with Afghans... This is actually to understand some etiquette and taboos, not something that is difficult to remember... but we can't bring this canned meat to Afghanistan. Our canned meat is basically made of pork, and pork is a taboo in Muslims... If you accidentally hand them a box of canned meat, it may cause trouble.
At this time, the soldiers were a little puzzled...
"Battery Commander!" Chen Guoxin asked a little strangely: "We... aren't we fighting the Yue Japanese? Why... why are we learning these things?"
Before I could answer Scar, he cursed at Li Zuolong: "If you want to learn, just learn... Why do you ask so much?!"
Scar was snatching me in front of me... Why did Shen Guoxin practice this time and still not knowing it. I told you what I could tell you early in the morning, so I still have to wait for you to ask?
What we need to prepare after that is to bring military supplies to Afghanistan with us... I don't need to bother with these things. That's what Commander Zhang and other upper-level officers have to worry about.
I just gave them a suggestion... Actually, it's not useful. I suggest that they also know which equipment is suitable for combat in such mountainous areas and which equipment is not suitable, such as armored vehicles, tanks, etc.... I'm afraid it's not useful to send it to you. Yes, it is more adaptable to submachine guns and AK47.
Finally, on the fifth day, when all the preparations were completed... we set off secretly that night.
This time the departure was a little different from usual... Usually when we set off, the people in the base could hear some of the wind, so some cadres in the base would come to see us off on their own. But this time... Even Zhang Fan didn't know that we were going to set off, so she didn't come to see him off!
In fact, it’s not just her that I didn’t know... Even I received the order half an hour before departure, and this order was not sent by phone or telegram, but by two guards around Commander Zhang. A letter.
Before I could open the letter, Commander Zhang's phone call came: "Have you received the order?"
"Received!" I said.
“Execute now!”
"yes!"
...
So half an hour later, our convoy set off... This time it was not as cool as before and there were armored vehicles. All of them were cars, and the license plates were painted. Not only that, they also strictly ordered any on the road. No one is allowed to get off the car, no head is allowed to make any sound, the rear compartment is also covered with canvas, and the inside is black and can't see five fingers... The soldiers are not at all except the driver and me. I know where this is going!
Of course, this is based on the principle of confidentiality, especially our troops must go to Afghanistan to carry out missions in secret. If the Soviets find out or catch a handle, they will probably cause some political disputes. It is common sense to be so careful.
But then again... our team of 500 people and the equipment is all equipped with automatic rifles, machine guns, etc., and even mortars are light, one car is equipped with one platoon... There are only a dozen cars in total
Just finished installing.
In these days... more than a dozen military vehicles are running on the road, and there are no cannons behind the car and no tanks. Even if the Soviet spies discovered such a team, they would not feel fussy.
The only thing that makes them suspicious is... Our convoy did not head to Beijing Railway Station, but headed straight to Tianjin Xingang...
But it was nothing strange to drive to Tianjin New Port. The canvas was wrapped tightly. We hid inside and did not make any noise. No one knew that the troops were loaded here... Maybe they were transported to the port to prepare to go to sea.
Where is the goods?
I was mentally prepared for the journey from the port to the sea... Commander Zhang had discussed with me before that walking from the airport was too conspicuous, and a large number of military supplies were not easy to disguise and were not convenient to transport. It was much more convenient to walk from the sea.
, packing the container... Who knows what it is inside?
More than an hour later, our convoy arrived at the destination...but arriving at the destination does not mean that we will be able to see the light of day again.
In fact... our convoy drove directly into a warehouse. After several teams gathered, counted the number of people. I pointed to more than a dozen containers next to me and ordered: "Everyone has... in line with the order.
container!"
"What?" The soldiers were stunned when they heard this... into the container?
But no one dared to ask questions at this time, so with a few low commands, the soldiers walked into the container in groups.
I took the battalion department, the translator and several consultants and finally walked in... These consultants include Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao. This was not something I arranged specifically, but the nature of their work belongs to the consultant category.
They often have to discuss with their staff how to train and formulate training plans, so it is natural to be assigned to the battalion department.
The container was quickly closed from the outside and locked from the outside, and there was a sense of depression and crisis in an instant, as if my life had been handed over to someone else but I was powerless.
At this time, I felt someone beside me holding my hand and leaning against me... It was Chen Yiyi! I quickly realized this because I felt that it was a woman at the first moment.
Men are always particularly strong when they have the protection they need, so the little fear in my heart quickly disappeared, and instead tightened her hand to express comfort!
But I quickly found myself wrong because when the flashlight lights up... I'm not within the prohibited range when hitting the flashlight in the container because the light will not be exposed.
Only then did I realize that Chen Yiyi was opposite me, but Chen Qiaoqiao was holding my hand...
