"It's obvious..." Colonel Smith said: "This is a continuation of their last unsuccessful sweep, which means that the Soviet army did not open up the road last time. If the Soviet army wants to further attack the guerrillas... then keep it
It is necessary to keep the road open!"
I shook my head and said, "Col. Smith... First of all, I don't think that this time the guerrillas do not need to rush into Afghanistan to fight. After all, there are still many guerrillas in the mountains of Afghanistan... Even if the Soviet army wants to clear the occupation, it will not be once.
Things that can be accomplished in just one sweep... Secondly... I don't think the Soviet army's plan this time will be so simple..."
"Captain Yang means..."
"This is very likely the Soviet army's trick!" I said: "Two almost the same combat plan...it's hard to believe!"
"Captain Yang!" Colonel Smith said unhappily: "I know you did not plan to participate in this plan from the beginning, but there is no need to speculate like this. We obtained this information based on reliable channels.
And it’s not just obtained from one channel!”
"Well!" I spread my hands helplessly and said, "I'm just talking about my own thoughts... If Mr. Smith insists, I can't do anything, given that I can't do anything here either...so...sorry!
”
As I said that, I politely gave the Afghan leaders a chest press and retreated. Two more guerrilla leaders retreated immediately behind me... I was so angry that Colonel Smith was cursing inside.
I feel a little funny when I listen outside... This American may be a bit bullying gene, or they are used to doing "world police" things, so they are used to those who are accustomed to the surname, and think that others have to listen to him...
But the problem is that this is not Japan or Korea... We have nothing to do with you, we are neither relying on you nor afraid of you... Which onion are you? Why do you let others obey your orders!
But then again... I was blaming the Afghan guerrillas for not uniting with each other before. Now I have made small plans with the US military base... So I can understand the Afghan guerrillas now.
There is a phenomenon that no one buys any other account.
Of course, there are still many guerrillas who have carried out according to Smith's plan... The Americans are rich, and the equipment they give to the guerrillas is very expensive, and they are both equipment and supplies, almost continuously transporting them...
...Now many guerrillas have to rely on American aid to survive.
So that night the guerrillas from the US border base set off...
There are thousands of people, and this is only sent by the base. Our training of guerrillas is generally carried out in rotation... that is, a batch of training is withdrawn from Afghanistan, and then those who have finished training will be entered Afghanistan in a month and a half.
Change a group of people to train. So, you can imagine that Smith should have two or three thousand guerrillas this time.
Then they brought a large number of mules... The Americans had money, and then they knew from us that entering the mountains was the best use of mules, so they swept all the mules on the Peshawar market overnight, and these mules carried water,
There are grain and various ammunition, and they are divided into several parts and entered the mountain.
Looking at their backs entering the mountain, I could only shake my head... Colonel Smith, why is this? Maybe he wants to compare our Chinese base... The last time the Soviet Union swept us, we obviously put the US base on the surface.
It was gone, so they wanted to take this opportunity to save the face they lost.
But didn't he know that these Afghan guerrillas are difficult to control?
First of all, this language is not accessible... Colonel Smith's solution to this is to use a lot of money to hire a translator who knows English and Persian... There are many such people in Pakistan because Pakistan was a British colony before, and English was even common to Pakistan.
Language...but not many people who can speak fluently are really not.
If you are doing translation in your daily life, there is no problem, but once this battle starts... Where do you go to find a translator to give orders?
Secondly, the Afghan guerrillas are in disagreement... The reason why they are gathered together now is just because they are worried that Smith will cut off aid... This would be fine if it were normal, but once the war starts...
Will anyone save their lives for assistance? At that time, they will definitely be in a mess and fight their own!
Later I learned that Smith was also worried about this, so he arranged several US military instructors or staff to serve as military advisers in each guerrilla team... From this point of view, the US military was still a bit sacrificed. At first I thought they were in the company.
Afghanistan dares to enter.
But this is obviously far from enough... You should know that when we entered Afghanistan with the guerrillas, the guerrillas and our soldiers were basically organized into one to one or even more of our army. This is still my
When the military forces and Hassan's troops trust each other and respect each other, our army is the main force of combat, and the guerrillas mainly learn...
Because of these reasons, I really want to persuade Smith to give up this operation... After all, our goals are the same and we have common interests. The losses suffered by the Afghan guerrillas are our losses.
But thinking about it, I gave up again... The reason is that I know Smith won't listen to my advice, just like what he said in the conference room before.
Now I can only hope that my suspicion is wrong...
This sweep from the Soviet Union... If it is really like Colonel Smith's intelligence described, then even if the Afghan guerrillas fight indiscriminately, it will not suffer much loss. After all, it is a mountainous area... The Soviet army has not adapted to the climate and terrain here yet,
I don’t dare to go deep into the mountains to chase them, so I can’t beat them and run away.
But...if the Soviet Union had other articles as I suspected, then this sweep would be a trap, a trap against the living forces of the guerrillas.
"Battery Commander!" At some point, Chen Yiyi came behind me and put on a piece of clothing, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"Hmm! Nothing..." I was a little surprised: "Why are you free now?"
I don’t know why, but Chen Qiaoqiao seems to be always stuck to Chen Yiyi during this period, which makes Chen Yiyi rarely have the opportunity to contact me.
"Qiaoqiao fell asleep!" Chen Yiyi said: "She has been thinking about going back and said that this place is not fun at all!"
"It's fun?" I couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is the battlefield... We are all fighting hard, and she is still complaining that it's not fun.
"Do you want to go back too?" I asked.
"I originally thought about it, but now I don't think about it anymore!" Chen Yiyi said.
"Why?" I was a little curious about this answer.
"Because..." Chen Yiyi raised her head and said, "There are you here, and Qiaoqiao..."
I was speechless for a moment. The world in Chen Yiyi's heart is so small as ever... so there is no difference between her where. (To be continued.)
