Now that the matter has been settled, the next work will begin.
First, Hassan recruited the guerrillas back... By the way, this process was not easy, because the place where the guerrillas were hiding is far away from Peshawar, and it would also take several days for Hassan and several people to come over... In fact, this
It's still secondary. What's more important is that they have to avoid being hunted by the Soviet army along the way...
I have never been to Afghanistan, and of course I don’t know what the battlefield in Afghanistan is like now. I know it from Hassan... The Soviet army sends helicopters and reconnaissance planes all day long to search for traces of guerrillas. Once the guerrillas are discovered, they will quickly
They will be bombed...so the guerrillas generally do not move during the day.
Of course, this is just to be cautious... In fact, the Soviet reconnaissance was still quite weak at this time. The reason is as mentioned before. The area where a Soviet division must be garrisoned reaches 200,000 square kilometers. If a division presses one
Counting ten thousand people...that means each person is garrisoned on an average of 20 square kilometers.
Therefore, the troops invested by the Soviet Union in Afghanistan are obviously not enough, and the same is true for reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters, so the chance of the guerrillas encountering Soviet aircraft is still very small.
The most troublesome thing is our own people...that is, the guerrillas!
At this time, many places in Afghanistan were divided piece by piece by the guerrillas... For example, this place was the power of this guerrilla group, and that place was the power of another guerrilla group... So, like Hassan, the whole place was divided
A guerrilla group has been pulled back. If you accidentally enter the sphere of influence of a certain guerrilla group, you will most likely be ambushed!
This is a bit unbelievable to me and my soldiers... powerful enemies are attacking at our doorstep, but our own people are still guarding each other like this, even incompatible with each other!
Just like Sahid asked...
"Chief Hassan!" Sahid asked: "You people have no grudges against each other, why are you so tense? Not to mention uniting to fight against the Soviets, at least you will be polite when you see that it is your own people.
Bar!"
Hassan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "When there are more guerrillas... there will be all kinds of people! We will be polite when we see our own people, but we don't rule out that some of them have evil intentions towards us, such as...
If any guerrilla group is short of guns and sees so many of our guns, it will start to kill people and seize them. For example, some guerrillas may mistakenly think that we are trying to compete with them for territory... This kind of thing only needs to happen once.
The army is finished!"
The soldiers and I have all come down from the battlefield, and of course we know that Hassan is right...the battlefield is so realistic, and once you do it, you will never have a chance to make a comeback again.
So the guerrillas carefully advanced along the mountain road and walked for four and a half days before finally reaching Peshawar safely...
When Ajir and his troops appeared in front of us, the soldiers couldn't help but cheered, and then stepped forward to greet them... This shocked the Afghans, and many of them looked at us inexplicably, not knowing.
Why do these strangers have to be so enthusiastic towards them?
It is precisely because of this that when many soldiers went up to shake hands with them or help them carry ammunition... some Afghan soldiers thought we were going to grab bullets, and there was almost no misunderstanding. Fortunately, Hassan showed up in time and told them to clarify.
Knowing that we were friends made them relax.
This is something I didn't expect... The two armies don't speak the same language and have different etiquette. I didn't worry about it at first. Who knew the soldiers would be so enthusiastic and treat them as comrades as soon as they met.
But this seems to be a characteristic of people in this era... Just like there is a saying... "Be as warm as spring to your comrades, and be as cold as the harsh winter to your enemies!". To put it simply, it means a clear distinction between love and hate...
…Now I finally see it!
Then there was a simple meeting... This meeting was not hosted by me. I didn't understand Farsi, so I had to be translated by others. Besides, they were also Hassan's soldiers. We only assisted them, trained them and served as consultants.
That’s all. So it’s still Hassan who’s talking about this...
There is no doubt about this, and it is precisely because of this that guerrillas will come... Otherwise, if you come for training and get a few guns, you will be deprived of command rights... Wouldn't that be equivalent to annexation!
So this meeting was still hosted by Hassan... He said a lot of words "Ji Hei Gu Lu", and Sahaide was beside me and translated. What he said was our identity, the purpose of our coming here, and the help we had before
Their family members in the refugee camps, of course, finally said that this was Allah's instruction, asking them to follow us to defeat the Soviet army and regain their homeland, so they should treat us as friends and brothers...
This Afghan is also a kind-hearted person. When he first came here, he was full of strangers and doubts about us. After Hassan said this, he quickly regarded us as his own, and everyone saluted us enthusiastically. Some
People even went out of their way to find the soldiers who had misunderstood before and apologize to them.
A social party was held that night... This social party was not only to get to know each other better, but also to allow these Afghan soldiers to have a night's rest. After all, they had traveled for so many days.
During this period, I found that many Afghans were staring at sisters Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, and they were also gesticulating...
Just when I was confused, Saheide came to me and said: "Battal Commander... they are wondering why there are women in our army?"
"What's so strange about having female soldiers?" I said, "In what way will our two female soldiers lose to the male soldiers?"
"That's not what they mean!" Saheide said: "Each country has its own customs. They also know this... What I'm worried about is..."
Sahaide glanced at Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, then lowered his voice and said: "Battal Commander...Afghanistan is a country where men are superior to women...their women have to cover their faces and cannot read or write, so they wait at home for men. We don't have that."
I'm used to it...but if the two consultants Chen are allowed to train Afghans, I'm afraid..."
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but frown when I heard this. I really hadn't thought about this question before...
So I quickly mentioned this matter to the instructor.
The instructor nodded: "In that case... then in order to facilitate the work and also take into account the customs and habits of the Afghan people, Comrades Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao should stay in the base to assist the staff!"
I was reassured by the instructor's words. I didn't want to be a bad person in front of Chen Yiyi... Later I found out that Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao actually had an indifferent attitude towards this because they were always thinking about revenge.
, there is no interest in training these Afghans at all.
The training work started on the second day.
The reason why I am so anxious to train...
On the one hand, Hassan told me that they can endure hardship without any need for rest. I absolutely believe this... The environment in Afghanistan is so harsh. If the Afghans living in it cannot endure hardship, they will not survive.
Not now.
On the other hand... it's because they heard the news that the Soviet army may take action in the near future... As for the source of the news, there's no need to think about it... There are a large number of Afghans in the Afghan government army in Cao Ying and in Han, whatever.
Just take a trip to Kabul and you'll get the news.
At the same time, I also believe that the Soviet army should also take action... The Soviet Union's previous actions were to control the city and traffic. Now they think they have the city and traffic under control, so let's come down... Naturally, they will suppress the guerrillas.
.So the time left for us is really not much.
The training work is not difficult for us... We have brought 500 people, and there are only 500 people in Afghanistan. Even if we pay one by one, it is just enough. What's more, many of the Afghan guerrillas have fought
A gun, someone who has fought in a war and been a soldier.
Just when this guerrilla team stood up, I couldn't help but frown... Some were carrying guns, some were holding guns, and some had their hands on their hips... What they called standing in line was just standing in a row in a generous manner.
That's all, and the costumes are all kinds of, and they don't look like an army at all!
"That's not okay!" I said to Hassan: "Standing in line is not just about standing there and letting people call your name!"
"Isn't it enough to know how to fight?" Hassan said in confusion: "What does standing in line have to do with shooting the enemy?"
I smiled bitterly. From Hassan's words, I knew that they had not received formal training, let alone any tactics or coordination.
I didn't say anything, I just blew the whistle in my mouth and shouted: "Assemble the Second Company!"
With a "wow" sound and a burst of nervous footsteps, the Second Company quickly lined up in front of me.
"Stand at attention! Look forward...turn back...walk in unison!"
Following my command, the soldiers walked past the guerrillas in neat goose steps... It is said that our Chinese soldiers' goose steps are the neatest and most elegant in the world, so they just walked back and forth like this.
Those rich Afghans saw it with their eyes straight.
"This is the army!" I said to Hassan: "Standing in line is not just about standing in line, but also allowing every soldier to carry out your orders unswervingly and very quickly... Look at your soldiers again
…”
Hassan looked at the two troops in front of him, one in the sky and one on the ground, and couldn't help but nodded frequently.
"Captain Yang!" Hassan said: "Train my troops to be like you!"
"We are trained like this?" I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart... The Second Company is a special agent company. They are elites taken from the 40th Division, elites who have fought in battles, and more than 400 elites have gone through various hardships.
The number of training soldiers has been eliminated to more than 150 now... If they want to be like us, they have to train for who knows how long.
