"Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan!" Hassan replied: "If such an important place is attacked... then they will definitely send troops for reinforcements!"
"That's right!" I said: "Kabul is the political, economic, and cultural center of Afghanistan, and it is also an important transportation intersection... It would be a big deal if this place was lost, so... if it is attacked, the Soviet army will definitely
I panicked!"
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping frowned and said, "But the question is... our two troops only have more than 500 people in total... can they pose a threat to Kabul?"
This is indeed a problem... Although Zhao Jingping did not go into details, I understand what he meant... If we want to lure a snake into the hole, that means we must have one force pretend to attack Kabul, and the other force
Setting up an ambush on the enemy's way back to support... We have two troops. This is no problem, but the problem is that Ragir's troops only have more than 300 people... How big a threat can this pose to a city like Kabul? If the defenders of Kabul
They feel that our attack is not worth mentioning at all, and it is impossible to cause harm to them... Then the Soviet army will not return reinforcements either!
"Another question is..." the instructor asked with some confusion: "Since the enemy is sweeping along the highway, this makes it impossible for us to set up an ambush next to the highway... Then why do you think, battalion commander, that we can set up an ambush next to the highway?"
Setting up an ambush in Kabul? And are you sure of escaping unharmed?"
"This can be done!" Hassan explained on his behalf: "Battalion Commander Yang is right... When the Soviet army did not launch a sweep, a large number of them were stationed in Kabul, and both reconnaissance planes and helicopters were
Taking off from Kabul... No guerrilla dared to attack the Soviet supply line on the road near Kabul, so the guerrilla activities near Kabul were very few, and some were initiated spontaneously by angry civilians... But after the Soviet army swept
when……"
"Oh!" The instructor nodded: "It's the other way around when it comes to mopping up. Because the Soviet Army and the Political Army sent a large number of troops out to mop up, and the target was the mountainous area deep in the highway, so in Kabul, which is usually a heavily defended area,
, now it becomes a defenseless zone!"
"Yes!" Hassan nodded: "And we still have people inside Kabul who can get information about Kabul, so I think Battalion Commander Yang's plan may be feasible!"
"The problem is that we don't have enough troops!" Zhao Jingping said: "Even if it is a feint attack... a force of more than 300 people is far from enough..."
"The inside should be coordinated with the outside!" I interrupted Zhao Jingping...
"What?" Everyone couldn't help but look at me in confusion, not understanding what I meant.
I didn't answer, but asked Hassan: "How many people should we have in Kabul?"
"There are...seven!" Hassan replied: "A few of them are still instigating rebellion, and they should be very promising!"
"Seven is too few!" Zhao Jingping seemed to understand what I meant.
"It is indeed too few!" I said: "And it is not worth being exposed for a small battle...but...is there any way they can stir up disputes within Kabul, or cause chaos or something?"
Hassan pondered for a while, then nodded slowly: "There are several drug trafficking groups in Kabul... One of them is a drug dealer... As long as they cooperate with each other to make some small moves, it is very possible for the two drug traffickers to fight!
"
I can understand why the Soviets did not attack these drug trafficking groups. The main reason is that the Soviet Union did not capture Kabul through war, but entered without firing a single shot at the "invitation" of the Afghan Prime Minister.
.Since this is the case...then they should target the opposition and try to maintain internal stability in Kabul. Only in this way can they devote more energy to the guerrillas in the mountains.
It is for this reason... that they dare not attack drug dealers, otherwise many problems will be exposed immediately... How to control the many drug addicts? How to eliminate the arms of drug dealers? How to eradicate them?
Not only should the Soviets not eliminate drug traffickers, but they should cooperate with them... As long as they give some benefits to those drug trafficking groups, those drug traffickers can provide them with intelligence on the opposition, and they can also control a considerable number of people, like them
He always had the best intelligence, controlled a lot of people with drugs, and was very willing to exploit Afghanistan's interests for their own benefit, so he became a tool for the Soviets to control Kabul.
"If there is a fight between gangs internally..." Zhao Jingping nodded and said: "And there is a siege by our army from the outside...it will easily give the Soviet army the illusion that Kabul is cooperating with the outside world...I agree to do this!"
"I agree too!" the instructor said: "And our small force can launch an attack on Kabul... This is no small matter. No matter how many Soviet troops we annihilate, it will cause a great repercussions among the guerrillas! Just
Beat like this!"
Then we quickly started a series of arrangements:
The first thing is to inform Lagir of the plan and ask them to immediately turn towards Kabul. It is not difficult to do this. Lagir's troops have radios, and all we have to do is inform them of the decision.
The second step is to contact Hassan's internal agents in Kabul and prepare them.
This is more troublesome. The reason is that these agents do not have radio stations to contact us... Just kidding, most of them are soldiers in the Kabul political army. If there were radio stations, people would not find out in two and a half times.
. And some of them have already gone out with the troops to clean up... We can only hope that not all of them have been sent out!
What we can do is to ask Hassan to send a few of his cronies to go ahead... They disguise themselves as common people and go ahead of us to get in touch with the spies in Kabul and get the information we need before contacting us outside the city.
The last step is to redesign the retreat route and assembly point... It is not difficult to design the retreat route. Anyway, you just go wherever it is easier to hide. The difficult part is the assembly point... You have to send people to find them and let them transfer water and food.
Getting to the designated place... This is not an easy task in the desert, but Hassan's guerrillas have many capable people in this field, so it can be solved by sending a few people out.
So the marching direction of the troops soon turned to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan...
The name Kabul is not unfamiliar to me... It's not because Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan. In fact, although I am a modern person, I don't know much about Afghanistan, and I don't even know where its capital is.
The reason why I know Kabul... is entirely because the river in Peshawar is called "Kabul River"... Why is the name of the river in Peshawar Kabul River? I only found out after asking Hassan... Peshawar
The river in Kabul is the same river...that is to say, Kabul is located upstream of Peshawar.
It is not far from where we are... This is due to our previous plan. We originally planned to ambush the Soviet army on the road from Kabul to Kandahar, so we did not deviate too much from the main line, so before dawn the next day
I rushed to a place a few kilometers outside Kabul...
We did not go any further because we were worried that the enemy would discover our whereabouts... But as we had guessed before, this area was not the target of the Soviet and political forces' clearing, because we could see it in the telescope
The road in the distance... there are batches of cars, tanks, armored vehicles rushing past, and sometimes a few helicopters passing by from low altitude... but no troops will stop to come to us.
Search the mountainous area where you are.
This may be the so-called "darkness under the lamp"... In addition, the Soviet Union and the Soviet Army do not have enough troops to begin with, so it is not surprising that they care about one side but not the other.
But we still didn't dare to take it lightly. After spreading out and hiding, we rested and waited under the scorching sun... By noon, several people sent by Hassan came back.
"Battle Commander Yang!" Hassan said excitedly: "I contacted the internal affairs department. They said that the only troops left in Kabul were one regiment of the Political Ax Army and one battalion of the Soviet Army... and the entire air force has been dispatched as of today!"
"Great!" I said, "Where are the drug dealers?"
"I've been contacted too!" Hassan replied: "As long as you give me some time!"
"Without further delay!" I said: "At seven o'clock tonight!" (To be continued.)
