"Captain Yang!" On the third day, Smith rushed into our base with the interpreter and the guards.
"What happened?" I asked.
Actually, I don’t need to ask at all... I can guess it even if I look at Smith and his group’s ugly faces.
"Yeah!" Smith nodded: "Our troops are surrounded!"
"What?" I was shocked when I heard this... I was surrounded. How could it be? This was in the mountainous area... and it was divided into three parts to fight guerrilla warfare... The Soviet army didn't have that many troops even if they wanted to encircle it!
After entering the conference room, Smith sighed and said, "Captain Yang...you are right. This is a trap set by the Soviets!"
"Tell me about the situation!" I spread the map on the table without saying a word.
At this time, I might have ridiculed Colonel Smith a few words... I have reminded you a long time ago, right? You insisted on sending troops!
But now I don’t have the heart to say this because I know... Smith has mobilized a lot of troops this time. If this unit is completely wiped out by the Soviet army, it will cause very heavy losses to the guerrillas.
"That's it!" Smith pointed to the map and said, "Just as I said in the meeting... Our army is divided into three parts, the first part and the second part have fewer troops, mainly responsible for roads and cities.
The third part of the harassment was divided into two parts, lurking in the mountains near Hakus, ready to sneak attack the Soviet army entering the village to sweep... But what we didn't expect was... the Soviet army did not have the same side as the intelligence said
We swept the road, but took advantage of the night to rush to Hakus... Armored vehicles and tanks surrounded Hakus' area, and then airborne two companies of the Soviet army. The Soviet army occupied the commanding heights behind Hakus.
Our army's retreat..."
I was shocked when I heard this and said, "The Soviet army seems to have completely grasped the whereabouts of your troops!"
"I think so too!" Smith nodded.
"Have you found a traitor?" I asked.
This is very important. If we don’t find out who was secretly giving the Soviets information, then every step we take next, the Soviets will be able to know the news in advance, so there is no need to fight this battle.
"Although it was not found, several suspects have been locked!" Smith sighed and said, "It's a few people who are addicted to drugs..."
"Oh!" I understood after Smith said this... This is also the reason why I insisted not to recruit drug-addicted players from the beginning.
"Where are other guerrillas?" I said: "Is there any way to reinforce Hakus?"
Smith shook his head: "The Soviets' sweeps were not only targeted by Hakus... In other directions, Soviet troops and government troops joined forces to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress, and even sent airborne troops to the Bahai-Arab border area... Obviously, they wanted to cut off the guerrilla attack
The team's retreat and supply line...so the other guerrillas are too busy to take care of themselves!"
Even the airborne troops were used... I couldn't help but frown when I heard this.
In modern times, I knew that the Soviet airborne troops were an extraordinary force... In fact, it was not just the Soviet army. The United States was the same, for example, the 101st Airborne Division... The reason is that the missions performed by the airborne troops are often very important
Dangerous but very important tasks... As for airborne, it is often airdropped to the enemy's rear to occupy important military targets, such as bridges, commanding heights, or blowing up enemy arsenals, artillery positions, or cutting off enemy supply lines, retreat routes, etc.
The significance of these tasks means that they will fall into a dangerous place surrounded by enemies as soon as they land.
This requires the airborne troops to have strong combat effectiveness and adaptability, otherwise it would be useless even if they successfully airborne to the designated location... The same is true for the airborne troops of the Soviet army. In addition, the daily training of the airborne troops is not suitable for carrying too many heavyweights.
Equipment... This is determined by the nature of the airborne troops, so they do not have the problem of over-reliance on modern equipment.
This made the problem a big deal... It is obvious that the purpose of this Soviet sweep was not to protect the supply line and ensure the smooth flow of the highway. The information that Colonel Smith received, including the information I received, was also false information...
But thinking about it, I think this may not be false information... The intelligence is true. As Smith said, the information obtained by different channels and units is the same... We are lurking in the Afghan government army and cannot be unified.
Lies us.
So... there is only one explanation... The Soviets knew that there were many traitors lurking in the Afghan government army. So a knife came to kill people... using the traitors from the Afghan government army to pass on a wrong set of intelligence to us, and the Soviet Union
But people were secretly looking for traitors inside the guerrillas... This was not difficult for them. They just needed to tempt the loyal Afghan government troops with some drugs or money.
Just an addict is enough. On the other side, they dispatched troops to spread a net of heaven and earth into the mountainous area where the guerrillas are located.
"The Soviets' purpose was to try to attack the living forces of the guerrillas!" I said: "They turned passive into activeness, and knew that it was very difficult for their purely defensive supply lines, so they took the initiative to attack and encircle the guerrillas in the mountains!"
"That's right!" the instructor nodded and said, "If a large number of guerrillas are surrounded and annihilated by the Soviet army... on the one hand, it will cause a great blow to the morale of the guerrillas, and on the other hand, the guerrillas' harassment of the Soviet supply line will also be due to the
The troops were insufficient and they were weakened a lot. So... this is to attack instead of defense..."
"Battleman Yang..." Seeing us slowly analyzing the situation, Colonel Smith was a little unable to sit still: "We should study how to reinforce Hakus. Now only you have the ability to help Hakus
The surrounding guerrillas broke through..."
"Col. Smith!" I said: "Supreach is of course necessary for reinforcements, but this matter is not urgent! Not to mention that the Soviet army and government forces have much more troops and equipment than us, now their elite airborne troops are added.
We can cut off our back path at any time... Of course, the Soviets would also think that we might reinforce Hakus. I am afraid that we will set up a trap for us to go!"
"Yes, Colonel Smith!" said the instructor: "We call this move "around the point and attack the aid", which means that a unit is capable of eating but deliberately not eating it... just waiting for the enemy to come for reinforcements, so that it can only
Expand the results of the war as much as possible, so... this matter is not urgent. Driving in the rashly will only make the matter worse and worse, and the more the battle will become worse and worse!"
Colonel Smith was silent for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense... The information sent back from the battlefield is indeed the case. The Soviet artillery fire was not fierce, and he did not use aviation incendiary bombs for Hacus.
…We now know that the Soviet army is "surrounding the aid" and I am afraid we have to rescue him... Otherwise, when the Soviets realize that we will not send reinforcements... they will soon attack Hakus!
”
I looked at the instructor and understood that what Colonel Smith said made sense... However, this problem is basically unsolvable. If there is no reinforcement, it means that Harcus's guerrillas will likely be wiped out, and the reinforcements will have to pay more
The guerrillas even went in but didn't return.
"Battleman Yang!" At this time, Hasan ran to me with a note and reported: "Just received information from Kabul... The Soviet army temporarily changed its combat plan, and the direction of the Soviet army's sweep was turned into the Ba-A border.
The mountainous area!”
"Yeah!" I nodded... This information came a little late, and this is the disadvantage of Fei Ge's sending a letter. But then again, even if you use a radio station, it is not very useful, because when the Soviet army takes real combat
When the plan was conveyed... the guerrillas had already entered Afghanistan, and it was too late to retreat.
"How many troops do we have at our base?" I asked Hassan.
"There are more than 2,000 people in my army, including me!" Hassan replied.
There are so many people in our base, because Hassan's army has more than 800 people.
"Do they know the guerrillas are surrounded?" I asked.
"Know a little news!" Hassan replied: "Because there are two troops at our base participating in the war... but they are not under much threat!"
"What does it mean?" Smith asked: "Not a big threat? Soviet airborne troops have blocked the Ba-Azerbaijan border!"
Hassan shook his head: "The border between Ba and A.A. is so long... and there are mountainous areas everywhere. Soviet airborne troops can only block a few main roads, and there are many small roads. They can't block them at all. If they don't have that force or don't know.
There are these paths…”
I am not surprised by this. Otherwise, if the Soviet airborne troops could easily block the entire Baja-Arab border, then the Afghan war would not exist in the past ten years.
The fact is... the Soviet Union wanted to blockade the Pakistan-Arab border and the Iraq-Arab border throughout the Afghan war, but it never succeeded.
This is undoubtedly good news... In other words, ordinary guerrillas don't have to worry too much, they are familiar with the terrain... Although the Soviet airborne troops have strong combat effectiveness, it is still a question whether they can find a way!
So the focus soon returned to Hakus... And from Hassanna I also know that although the guerrillas are not united, there are often close relationships between the guerrillas, such as this guerrilla.
The leader of the team was the son-in-law of another guerrilla team... and so on... and they were going to fight the Soviet army they hated, so maybe there were actually other guerrilla teams to rescue Hakus.
"Battery Commander!" the instructor advised, "It really doesn't work... let's give up on reinforcements!"
"Yeah!" I nodded: "Reinforcement means jumping into a trap...so reinforcement is definitely not possible! But we can try the attack!"
"Attack?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It was this time... I am still planning to attack?!
