"What do you need us to do?" Liao Dong also sighed.

For Afghans, Karmal was like a traitor in the country during the Sino-Japanese War.

Traitors, naturally, are hated by everyone.

The people and the army of the invaded countries hate war because it will cost them their lives, their homes, and their places to reproduce.

An opportunity to make money, an opportunity to achieve some purpose.

"The Soviet special forces are on a reconnaissance mission, and at the same time, their helicopter gunships will cover the ......attack of Karmal's army," Massoud told Liao Dong the detailed information, "I hope that the river crab mercenary group can take out the GRU and the reconnaissance force of the 40th Army who infiltrated the Panjshir Gorge." ”

"Are they all here?" Liao Dong's eyes widened suddenly.

"That's right. The intelligence shows that this is the case, and there is no doubt that the truth of the news does not come from those informants who do not have the slightest loyalty, and the news is sold on both sides, but from the top of the government. In order to dispel Liao Dong's suspicions, Massoud gave an explanation.

The reputation of Afghan spies is not trustworthy on both sides of the war, and the last commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Grodev, famously said - don't believe the words of Afghan spies, it is all nonsense after they have sucked big # hemp.

In March 1982, the Soviet army received a tip that it sent an armored commando to encircle and suppress the "Mujahideen" who had spent the night in a village near Asadabad, but on the way they met a messenger who had actually helped the informant to inform the "Mujahideen" to escape......

There have been too many such things, and Liao Dong naturally didn't dare to believe it.

Even they themselves have encountered such a thing, during the mission, an Afghan gave them information that Soviet scouts were operating in a certain village, someone was providing them with supplies, etc. As a result, the man was arrested, and the man was just an enemy of the person who reported to Liao Dong and others, who just bought his sheep and did not give him the price he wanted......

"GRU?" After Liao Dong introduced the situation, his face was serious, and several core members of his command said with a smile, "Boss, we have always dealt with their scouts before, and we haven't fought against the scouts among the scouts." ”

"That is, we have always heard their reputation, and we have always wanted to fight them to see who is the real king of the soldiers......"

"How many things can be left behind when the river crabs are out? Not to mention the GRU, even if it is white, it is all in vain. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the GRU is not in vain. Although we have also received special operations training, due to time constraints, the training has not been completed, and with our special status during training, we have not experienced strict elimination...... "Liao Dong saw that his brothers were a little underestimated by the enemy, and the worry in his heart was even greater. "The GRU was established in the fifties, and for decades it was kept strictly secret, even more mysterious than the Vympel and Alpha Squads, and all the time we got information about the GRU was only their spies, not special operators. So, I want everybody to take it seriously, and I don't want anyone to come back. ”

War is brutal.

Special operations are even more brutal than ordinary wars.

Among the special operations forces of the Soviet Union, the GRU special operations personnel are the most mysterious, and even the various guerrillas in Afghanistan rarely have access to detailed information about the GRU special operations forces.

"Don't worry, boss, aren't we just here to fight against the top special operations forces?" said a burly, bald man in his thirties.

"Bald head, you are the sharp knife of our mercenary group, once something goes wrong......" Liao Dong said with a frown.

"Didn't we kill a team of the previous signal flags?" said the bald head with a smile.

"That was wiped out without them knowing we existed. Liao Dong said, "This time we must be carefully prepared, long and short weapons, ammunition must be sufficient, and even need to be equipped with some individual heavy weapons." ”

"Boss, do you not believe in our combat capabilities too much, or do you think of them too strongly?"

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Liao Dong said, "All go to prepare, and you may go to the task at any time." Order everyone, before the end of the operation, to go into combat readiness, and whoever drinks again or hooks up with a woman, military law is engaged!"

As soon as he said that he had entered a state of combat readiness, everyone's faces became serious.

Fighting in a foreign land, you may die at any time.

They are no longer fighting for the country, and after sacrifice, they can't even cover the national flag on the coffin, so it is more important to save their lives, and maybe one day they can return to the motherland.

At Bagram Air Base, which is 80 kilometers away from Panjshir City and only more than 20 kilometers from the valley mouth, all the aircraft fuselages in it have bright red five-pointed stars.

As soon as those who understand look at this five-pointed star, it is clear that this is a Soviet fighter.

This air base, which is only a few tens of kilometers away from the capital Kabul, is responsible for transporting a large part of ammunition and supplies from the territory of the Soviet Union.

Afghanistan is a landlocked country, there are no railways in the whole country, and the supply of the Soviet army must be transported by air and road.

From the first shot of the invasion of Afghanistan in 79, the powerful Soviet steel torrent quickly occupied the entire territory of Afghanistan in just one week under the cover of aircraft and heavy artery, firmly controlling major cities and all communication arteries.

Highway No. 2, which runs from Termez in the Uzbek Republic on the territory of the Soviet Union, through the Salang Pass, through the Salang Pass, across the Hindu Kush Mountains, is the main supply line for the Soviet troops in Kabul, but it is close to the bottom of the Panjshir Valley, a guerrilla base that the Soviet Union has failed to solve in several large-scale clean-up operations.

"This time, Massoud's Tajik guerrillas must be uprooted, and Karmal has mobilized 54 battalions to encircle and destroy this guerrilla force that has caused us heavy logistical losses......" In a warehouse at Bagram Air Base, a stocky veteran with a large-brimmed hat and a dazzling gold star on his shoulder said solemnly to dozens of officers in camouflage uniforms, with hoods and boat-shaped hats on their heads, and a black bat armband with outstretched wings on their shoulders, all of whom were all warrant officers at the lowest rank.

Grumman is written on the top of the bat's head in the armband, and there is a Russian phrase around it - only the stars are not enough to see.

These people are the Grumman special operations forces that have been formed in the Soviet Union for the longest time and in the most mysterious.

A mysterious force that is proficient in all kinds of special operations, even recruiting spies, surviving and fighting in extreme environments.

"Your task is to sneak in in advance and find out where the backbone of the Tajik partisans are located, especially the guerrilla leader Massoud ......," the major general briefed on the mission.

The officers lined up in a straight line still stood straight.

"General, rest assured, there is no mission that cannot be completed when the GRU is dispatched. A major with three golden bars on his shoulders and a gold star in the center assured the major general in a loud voice.

"Sergey, you lead the team, of course I am relieved. I personally transferred you here, because this time your opponents are not just guerrillas, but also mercenaries. These mercenaries are retired scouts from China, or rather, it is better for them to use deserters. According to information received from Vietnam, these people once gave Vietnam a headache...... "The general told his subordinates to pay attention to the enemy."

Major Sergei disagreed, "Please rest assured, although the Vietnamese are very good at guerrilla warfare, they are too poor in tactical literacy, and they do not have perfect training and sophisticated weapons and equipment, and they do not have our GRU's eight-year special operations training......

Hearing Sergei's words, the Major General waved his hand, "I know that you are the best, better than the Signal Banner and Alpha. I hope you make it back, all!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up and answered the general.

"In addition, if the whereabouts of the key members of the opposing side, especially Massoud, are discovered, they can use the radio station to call for fighters to strike remotely...... "The major general said. "If you take out their chain of command, Karmal's army will have very little help. Take Panjshir Gorge and you will be credited. ”

This is the most basic training course for the GRU special operation, go behind enemy lines, find the enemy's command post, find a way to take it out, or call a long-range strike to paralyze the enemy's command.

The Panjshir Gorge can be said to be the place where the Soviet army in Afghanistan was broken, and on both sides of the road leading to the gorge, armored vehicles, tanks, cars, and the wreckage of destroyed heavy artillery can be seen everywhere, silently telling the cruelty of war.

So far, the Soviet army has organized nine large-scale encirclement and suppression, and at the largest time, the Soviet army dispatched nearly 20,000 troops, more than 500 tanks and armored vehicles, nearly 80 Mi-24 helicopter gunships, and more than 30 Tu-16 "Badger" strategic bombers from the territory of the Soviet Union.

Such a large-scale encirclement and suppression could not make the Tajik guerrillas led by Massoud disappear, and even lost nearly 1,000 soldiers, 65 tanks, more than 20 armored vehicles and oil trucks, and hundreds of vehicles......

Panjshir, the shame of the Soviet army that invaded Afghanistan.

"Everyone is ready to go early this morning. Armored vehicles will take you to the outskirts of Gulbahar and wait for your good news. The major general said with a smile. "Give those Chinese deserters a little color and tell them what special operations are!"

From the bottom of his bones, he didn't take the river crab mercenary group too seriously.

After saying that, the major general left.

Sergei did not disband the team, but gave orders to his combat team of officers.
