I quickly convened a meeting of staff and cadres of the troops. Needless to say, the purpose of the meeting was to discuss how to deal with the Soviet "sweeping".
"Comrades!" I glanced at the soldiers sitting around me and said, "We just got the news... The Soviet Union is likely to start a new round of sweeping!"
As soon as I said this, the soldiers were talking, and Liang Lianbing couldn't help but ask: "Battalion Commander, are we going to fight with the Soviet devils? I haven't had a war for so long... I'm itchy!"
"Where do I think!" Scar quipped on the side: "You are itchy and want to find a fight!"
With a coaxing sound, the soldiers laughed.
"This is my idea!" I said: "We have been to Pakistan for a while... but there are very few Afghan guerrillas who have received our aid... On the one hand, it is because our army is not as equipped as the US base, and on the other hand, it is because our army is not as good as that of the US base.
There are also issues that don’t believe in our army’s combat effectiveness…just like Hassan’s guerrillas’ attitude towards us before…”
Speaking of this, the soldiers burst into laughter again, while Hassan and other Afghan guerrilla cadres showed embarrassing expressions on their faces.
"Because of this reason!" I said: "So I think it is necessary to fight a war, just treat it as a propaganda work... Let the Afghan guerrillas understand that although our Chinese are not well equipped, they can win battles and fight fierce battles.
!”
"Okay!" The soldiers couldn't help but cheer. We only saw this Afghans for some inexplicable reasons... They didn't understand... Why do we still cheer for such a chore on the battlefield, and some people even rush to do so.
Go up, fight for...
Actually, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it... because there is something called "collective honor" flowing in the blood of our Chinese soldiers... If someone in a unit is afraid to fight, he will retreat.
, the entire army would feel embarrassed, and this timid guy would be difficult to get the recognition of his comrades in the future.
Once the troops form such a trend, the new recruits will naturally be affected after joining, and a tradition will be formed over time.
Especially now... we are going abroad to fight, and we are fighting in front of Pakistani brothers and the Afghan people... There is also the factor of "winning glory for the country" in it. So no one will lose his chain at this time.
"The battalion commander is right!" the instructor continued my words: "We must not only fight this battle, but also fight beautifully and simply, and show the majesty and spirit of our Chinese soldiers!"
"Okay!" The soldiers cheered again, and the venue was filled with excitement.
At this time, the Afghans looked at us not only strangely, but also had an incredible feeling... They couldn't believe that a unit that looked so friendly and kind usually looked so friendly, when it came to fighting and killing the enemy
I was so excited... If they hadn't been in contact with us during this period, they would have thought that our group of people were all born murderers!
"Battery Commander!" After the soldiers calmed down, Zhao Jingping asked: "We can say that we don't know the situation of the battle and the enemy. What kind of way should we fight in this battle?"
"Staff General Zhao is right!" I said: "That's why we must first listen to the introduction of Afghan comrades!"
As I said that, I called Hassan to the stage, and of course, Sahide was following him as the interpreter.
But Hassan stood on the stage and was stunned for a long time... then spread his hands and said, "I...I don't know what to say!"
So I understood that Hassan might have never held such a pre-war meeting. In their war... maybe it was just a simple discussion to fight or not. If he decided to fight, he would just take the gun and take the people up.
So now standing on the stage, I don’t know what we want to know, and he doesn’t know what to say.
"That's it!" I said, "I'll ask, you answer!"
"Okay!" Hassan nodded.
"You have already experienced the first sweep of the Soviets!" I said: "We want to know how the Soviets fought this sweep, how many troops and equipment are there, and how they attack..."
"Oh!" Hassan couldn't help but realize it, but then replied with a embarrassed look on his face, "I don't know much about these. Our guerrillas are too weak. I can see the Soviet army and government troops coming from afar
Dodge... there is no chance to observe their attack method, nor do you know what equipment they have... Sometimes you will see several tanks and armored vehicles!"
I couldn't help but fainted after hearing this... The information given by Hassan was far from what I needed, but it seemed that he couldn't blame him... You know, he had only had fifty guns at that time, so how could he dare to follow him
I will do it head-on by the Soviet army or government forces... If I do it, I am afraid we will not see them now.
"Captain Yang!" Just when I was disappointed, Ragil stood up and said, "I may know a little more about these... because I have participated in the first sweep!"
"Um!" I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I heard this, and immediately invited Rajil to the stage.
"We... no, not us!" Ragil's face turned red and he quickly changed his words and said, "The Soviet army's mobilization is like this... The Soviet army has a total of more than 80,000 troops, which does not include their logistics team.
, the government army had a total of 13 divisions of 100,000 people, but now there may be no more than 100,000 people. Because government troops were constantly instigated to join the guerrillas. Their sweep... was to continue to control the city with a small number of troops and draw large numbers of them.
Some of the troops were sent to areas where guerrilla activities were frequent... namely Kabul, Kunduz, Bagland, Kunarha, and Nangarhar.
The guerrillas in Paktia and other provinces carried out a comprehensive clearance... When they encountered a village, they searched for the village, searched for weapons, searched for men, and searched for people suspected of guerrillas. They asked for reconnaissance... When they found helicopters or reconnaissance planes, they used reconnaissance planes.
Sometimes, reconnaissance forces are sent directly to the mountainous areas for reconnaissance. When encountering resistance, the guerrillas will be wiped out with the cooperation of artillery and armored forces with the tactical principle of "brave assault"!"
"Brave attack? Armored troops?" I was stunned when I heard this and asked back: "Will this fight work?"
"Of course there is no effect!" Ragil replied: "Otherwise, the Soviets would not have to sweep the second time!"
The Afghans in the conference room couldn't help but burst into laughter that was also ridiculed by the Soviets.
"Tell me why it doesn't work!" I asked.
Although I know the reason... Four-fifths of Afghanistan are mountainous areas, and mountainous areas are naturally not suitable for mechanized troops such as armored vehicles and tanks. This is also the reason why we do not bring armored vehicles here.
I still want to know more.
"The main problem is that the mechanized troops will not go up the mountain!" Ragil's answer was indeed not surprising. He said: "The armored troops can only provide fire support or supplies to the troops at the foot of the mountain... but it is also very good to provide fire support.
Limited because the elevation angle of the weapons of a considerable number of armored units such as tanks is not large enough. As long as the guerrillas climb a little higher or escape deeper... the tanks and armored vehicles of the Soviet army are powerless, but the Soviet army is not brave enough, they are not
If you dare to go deep into the mountains to search for guerrillas, you can only shoot a bunch of cannons in the mountains, or send government troops to search... But many government troops did not come back after entering the mountains!"
"I've been wiped out by the guerrillas?" I asked.
"No, no..." Ragil's reply made me laugh and cry: "They joined the guerrillas with weapons..."
With a "coaxing" sound, both Chinese and Afghans laughed in the conference room.
"Some government troops go into the mountains to search for it perfunctorily!" Ragil said: "This part of the government troops is because they have family members in the city. They are worried that the Soviet army will be detrimental to their families, and they also have to support their families.
They couldn't surrender to the guerrillas... but they didn't want to fight with the guerrillas, so they fired guns and walked around the mountains for a while before going back! In order to deceive the Soviets, they handed out some of their guns and told them
That was taken from the guerrillas!”
"Coax!" The soldiers laughed again.
"So..." I asked Ragil: "We don't have to worry about the sweeping of the Soviet army?!"
"Not!" Ragil replied: "The Soviets are not fools. They know how to fight guerrillas... Every time they pass by a village, they will plunder the food in the village, or simply take the elderly and women from these villages,
The children were driven away and then set a fire to burn... because they knew that the guerrillas could not hide in the mountains forever. The guerrillas needed this food to survive. Without the village, the guerrillas would be difficult to survive!"
"Um!" I couldn't help but frown when I heard this... This practice is really poisonous. It's not targeting guerrillas but civilians. No wonder the Afghan government forces did not resist, but there were so many refugees.
Flocking into neighboring countries.
This is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields! In a few months, winter will begin... At that time, the guerrillas will be forced out to go out to the city to find food, and that will be the opportunity for the Soviet army.
But the Soviet Union's move obviously would not have any effect, because at this time, Afghanistan was not just Afghanistan, but also Pakistan, Iran, the United States and other countries were standing behind it, so food, ammunition, etc. would be continuously transported from the borders of various countries.
Into the hands of the Afghan guerrillas.
"The most terrifying thing is the Soviet incendiary bomb!" Finally, Rajile said: "The incendiary bomb was shot from the plane. Once you find out where there are guerrillas... the incendiary bomb will be fire..."
