I originally thought this negotiation would go smoothly, after all, the Soviet army had no other choice, and the conditions we offered were very attractive to be honest... but I didn't expect that there were still some twists and turns in it...
The biggest difficulty did not come from Sergeevich's superiors... In fact, Sergeevich did not report this to his superiors. He is a smart person and knows if he reports it to his superiors...
...The superiors would definitely not agree to let them hand over the equipment to the guerrillas. The reason is very simple... The equipment they participated in the offensive this time included T72 and BMP infantry chariots... These were secret weapons for the Soviet Union, and there were
Many things that can be called high-tech in this era are inside, and if they are left to the guerrillas intact, there will be no doubt that the secret will be leaked.
So Sergeevich knew that if he reported to his superiors... it would mean that the negotiations would break down and the battle would have to continue.
The difficulties mainly come from the trapped Soviet army... Sergeevich has the ability to suppress this matter and not report it to the top, and can even find an excuse to say that the radio station was bombed and could not be contacted, etc., but
There is no way to hide it from your subordinates... because they have to hand over their weapons and equipment.
So after talking to Ragil, Sergeiervich held a meeting...the conditions for our negotiation were discussed.
I don't know what the specific process of the discussion was, because this discussion was excluded... But I believe that some people within the Soviet army must have supported some people and opposed them.
The reason for the supporters is very simple... I just hand over the equipment. It can even be said that in this situation, the guerrillas will eventually get these equipment... All they have to do is trap us in the valley, and then these equipment
It's theirs.
Starting from this result... The Soviet army is a meaningless sacrifice when they are waiting for death in the valley. It can maintain dignity without having to die, so why not do it?
The opposing people also have their reasons... hand over the equipment and leave. Not to mention that this is an admission of failure and has no dignity. If the Soviet army's equipment falls into the hands of the guerrillas... it will soon be armed.
Another group of guerrillas formed another group of forces, not to mention that some of the equipment was still military secrets!
Both sides have very good reasons... so they fought for more than an hour but failed to get a result.
And at this moment I was relieved... because it didn't matter what the result was for me. As long as Sergeevich would take out the negotiation conditions and discuss them instead of suppressing them... it means I have already
Win!
It turned out from two aspects... One is that it will be dark in two hours, and the Soviet army will have no chance of breaking through. The other is like what I said before... Because it gave the Soviet army a way out, so
The Soviet army was no longer trapped beasts, and at the same time it could cause differences within them, so they would not be as good as before when they fought.
So, now I don't worry about the negotiation breaking down.
Perhaps Sergeevich felt this, or perhaps he knew that after the sun set, they were afraid that they would not even have the capital for negotiation, so the discussion soon came to an end.
"Battery Commander!" Wang Xianman reported to me on the walkie-talkie: "The Commander of the Su Army replied, they agreed to our conditions!"
"Didn't they bargain?" I was a little surprised by this. After all, some of these equipment are in the field of high-tech, and I thought they would reserve it.
Later I learned that Sergeevich was not not keeping it, but they felt that there was no need for us, the "Afghan guerrillas" to know... Some equipment in the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were hiding inside.
Who knows if it is dismantled? Even if you use a hammer to smash it in, it can be said that it was broken during a war.
In fact... Sergeevich also used this to convince the opposition. He was smart... If he leaked these high-tech equipment now, he would probably go to the military court even if he went back.
"No!" Wang Xianman replied: "But Commander Sergey hopes to meet you. He found me directly... He said he wanted to meet my commander..."
"How did you answer?" I said.
"I said my commander is Hassan!" Wang Xianman replied: "I am just a mercenary..."
Wang Xianman's answer is of course correct. No matter at any time, we will never admit that we are part of the [fuck] team, although I know that the Soviet Union has basically grasped our situation..
As expected, Wang Xianman continued: "But he said... he knew that my commander was Yang Xuefeng, and he also knew that it was Yang Xuefeng's battle. He lost to you, not those Afghans...
…So, he wants to hand over the equipment to you with his own hands, otherwise it would be an insult to him!”
When I heard my name... I was not surprised. It was not difficult for the Soviets to master this information... There are more than 100,000 Afghan refugees in Peshawar. You can just send a few people to lurk in and you can find out where you can
The situation of the Sino-US base in Peshawar cannot be hidden even if you want to hide it.
But even if the Soviet Union knew about these two bases, they would not dare to do anything... Many things in the international community were like this. Everyone knew what was going on, but they were tacit for their own interests.
For example, now... Even if the Soviet Union knows that China and the United States have established bases in Pakistan to provide weapons, funds and training for the Afghan guerrillas, and even a small number of troops enter Afghanistan in the name of a military advisory group to participate in the war... what can it do
What? Is it condemned internationally? Or send troops to attack Pakistan, China, or the United States...
Condemnation internationally is definitely a joke, because the Soviet Union itself was an invader, and he sent a hundred thousand troops to Afghanistan... while other countries just sent military advisory groups... This is tantamount to calling for thieves to catch them.
It is even more impossible to send troops to attack the third country... Because even children know that fighting on both sides is a taboo in military strategists. The Soviet army now plans to resolve Afghanistan as soon as possible and stabilize the war situation in Afghanistan, so that they can free up their hands to carry out the north and south China to China.
Attack... So no one dared to offend the Soviet Union at this time, otherwise she would have to fight against the entire world with the power of a country.
This is why... In history, when the Soviet Union landed on the border between Iran and Afghanistan... A strong wind accidentally blew several airborne troops to the border between Iran. At this time, Iran was like Afghanistan, with many forces.
Helping the Afghan guerrillas on the Iran-Arab border, however, this scared the Soviet Union... He hurriedly recalled the paratroopers and explained to Iran and apologized solemnly.
So there is no problem with the existence of our [fuck] team... It's just that we can't admit it on the surface in order to avoid the real population...
"Tell him!" After thinking about it, I said to Wang Xianman: "The one who defeated them was the Afghan guerrillas, and he had no room to bargain!"
"But..." Wang Xianman said: "The Soviet leader insisted repeatedly and said that if he couldn't see you... he would reconsider the negotiations!"
This surprised me... Commander Sergeevich was so persistent... If it were someone else, he would always avoid meeting the winner when he failed, because it would give himself a lot of money.
pressure.
However, this Sergeivic is obviously not like this...
After thinking about it, I quickly understood... This may be the kind of superiority towards the Afghans in his bones that was causing trouble... Because the Soviet Union has been watching Afghans condescendingly for decades, which has led many Soviets to
I look down on the Afghans and do not think that the Afghan guerrillas can defeat them... He maintained his dignity by insisting on surrendering to me, that is, telling the Afghan guerrillas... There is someone else who defeated him!
Because I didn't want to make trouble anymore, and it was not a big deal, I nodded and said, "Okay! Tell him... I will wait for him at Yamaguchi No. 2!"
"Yes!" Wang Xian responded and conveyed my opinion to Rajil.
So an hour later, I met Colonel Sergeevich at Yamaguchi No. 2...a Soviet soldier with two beards and dressed in a straight military uniform.
He recognized me among the many soldiers at first sight... Of course, it was not because I was handsome. Although I could admit it with a thick face, reason told me... He was very likely to have met before this.
I even learned about my information through my photos, which can be seen from his accurate and speechless call out my name before.
After all, with Soviet technology... it is not difficult to take a few photos from a distance outside our base.
"Yang Xuefeng!" Colonel Sergeevich called my name stubbornly.
"I am!" I walked up and shook hands with him.
Sergey's eyes were complicated, but he never spoke... I didn't speak either because we couldn't speak... Although we all had translations for Afghanistan, no one brought Chinese and Soviet translators.
But in fact... we don’t need to speak at this time, because as soldiers, we all know what the other party wants to express!
Finally... Sergeevich looked at the surrounding battlefield, sighed deeply, then untied his armed belt and handed it to me, and said something I didn't understand.
He left with his men.
Then the Soviet army piled up large numbers of rifles and bullets in front of us, and then helped the wounded out of the valley with dejected expression.
Later I learned from Ragilna...Sergeevich said at the time: "It belongs to you, but one day, I will come back!" (To be continued.)
