While the guerrillas were training, our battalion headquarters was not idle either...
First of all, we made a statistics of the equipment left by the Soviet army... Zhao Jingping was naturally responsible for this statistical work. He can be said to be my most effective assistant. In fact... my current communication with the staff has been
Very few, but if there are any problems that need to be solved by the staff department, I will directly throw them to Zhao Jingping, and then Zhao Jingping will subdivide these tasks to various staff officers. In other words, Zhao Jingping is like the general staff of my battalion staff department.
Because the Soviet army left behind a large amount of equipment, and the quality of the equipment they fought in the war also varied, especially since a considerable part of the equipment of the Soviet army was secretly destroyed by them... Although we said no during the negotiations
Allowed, otherwise so be it, but this is actually just a lie. I just don't want the Soviet army to blatantly blow up tanks, armored vehicles and the like to make them jealous.
It is precisely because of this... that the statistical work took several days, and Zhao Jingping gave me preliminary statistical data on the third day.
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping reported to me with a form: "Preliminary statistics... there are more than 2,000 AK74s, more than 200 RPK light machine guns, and 100 heavy machine guns... The light weapons are basically complete!"
"Yes!" I nodded. There are basically no technical problems with light weapons. For example, we captured many ak74s and rpk's from the Vietnamese... Even our squadron was equipped with these weapons, so the Soviet army also
I am happy to keep my promise. But it may be different with tanks and the like...
Sure enough, Zhao Jingping then said: "Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and the like were seriously damaged...Although there are a lot of them, there are more than ten T72s and more than thirty T62s. Including infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles and the like.
There are more than two hundred of them...but the insides have been dismantled. Especially the T72, many of the ones that cannot be dismantled have been smashed...and they can only be driven!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and said, "You can arrange to transport a few T72s and infantry fighting vehicles back if you have the chance... Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping stood up and responded.
In fact, I don’t need to explain these things. The scheming Zhao Jingping has already had this plan... The T62 is no longer attractive to us now. The reason is that we captured one as early as the Battle of Zhenbao Island between China and the Soviet Union. Just because
At that time, our country was in the midst of a decade (the Sino-Soviet Battle of Zhenbao Island occurred in 1969), so the imitation work of the T62 has not made much progress. It is precisely because of this that the Type 69 tank has been delayed until now and has not been equipped with troops...
However, if the Type 69 tank is still developed in the same way as the T62, I am afraid that it will already fall behind before it is developed, so the Type 69 must undergo major changes... As for how to make changes, the T72 is undoubtedly a good template.
.
This is why it is unclear which Soviet tank the Type 69 tank of our army is copied from... because it is based on the T62 but was developed by integrating the technologies of several other tanks.
But what I didn't expect was that... it was not difficult to capture the tank, but it was not easy to get the tank out... The reason is that our transportation and supply lines are all mountain roads, and of course it is impossible for tanks to run on mountain roads.
However, if a tank walks on the road... it is basically impossible to escape the Soviet reconnaissance... The target is too obvious. There are several tanks driving on the road... and it can be discovered without any reconnaissance methods.
After much deliberation, I had no choice but to be ruthless... Damn it! Let's drive them onto the highway. And drive them up during the day to see if the Soviet army can tell them apart!
Of course. That being said... when we actually drove onto the highway, we still put a lot of thought and work into it.
First of all, we trained a group of Afghan guerrillas to learn to drive tanks... We made these tanks disguised as Afghan government troops. The distrust, inconvenience of communication and management chaos between the Soviet army and the Afghan government forces can always be exploited by us.
A loophole, unless the Soviet army resolves the conflict between them and the government forces.
Secondly, we have done enough intelligence work... We still have an advantage in this regard. After all, this is Afghanistan... The Soviet army is an invader. It can be said that the vast majority of the people and even the Afghan government forces do not support the Soviet army.
, so it will be easy for us to do this intelligence work... just develop a few valuable insiders in several cities such as Kabul or Kandahar, such as a civilian employee working in a government department who has access to some documents.
For example, a well-informed gangster.
This also includes brothels... The Soviets are also quite open in this regard. In addition, you don't know when you will die on this battlefield... This makes those soldiers become frequent visitors to brothels.
Sex work is strictly prohibited in Afghanistan, but brothels still exist in a dark corner despite the war and forced life...
This provides us with a good source of intelligence... When Soviet soldiers enter these places, they often think that others cannot understand what they say, so they talk about various military secrets with confidence... What we need to do
The best thing is to arrange for an Afghan who can understand Russian to do odd jobs inside, and just listen carefully!
The intelligence obtained in this way is not only very comprehensive, but also generally very credible... at least much more credible than the information obtained from the Afghan government forces, because the Soviet army often gives false information to the government forces to confuse us.
So we knew...at what time in the morning on a certain day, a dozen tanks of a certain number would drive to the border on a certain road to support the Soviet troops guarding there.
Then there is the issue of coordination in all aspects...
First send a guerrilla team to lay mines and other things on the upper reaches of the road, and then conduct a suitable blocking battle to delay the reinforcement time of the tank battalion. In this process, we also used signal jamming equipment... This kind of equipment is
It was shipped from Pakistan to prevent the attacked tank battalion from reporting intelligence to its superiors and other troops in a timely manner.
At this time, more than a dozen tanks of our army were on the road... Because they had managed the time and documents very well, and the routes and passwords were completely correct, they drove to the border unimpeded...
Of course, there will be some troubles at the border... It is impossible for the Soviet border guards to just let us drive the tanks to Pakistan under their noses.
But this is not a big problem... It only requires a guerrilla team to cooperate in launching an attack... At that time, the Soviet army simply did not have the extra energy to care about where the tank team was going. (To be continued.
