Since the President of Russia, announced that he was going to impose sanctions against al-Qaeda. The United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany and other advanced countries are very concerned about the situation between Russia and Afghanistan.

Many so-called military experts have also made a lot of nonsense on TV and the Internet, commenting and speculating that if the Russian army wants to attack Afghanistan. What kind of dilemma will it encounter, how much resistance.

"Personally, I feel that the war on terror that Russia is preaching this time may not be as smooth as they expected. Afghanistan is a country with more than two-thirds of the mountainous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Russian T-72 and T-90 main battle tanks can't be driven at all. It's a steep terrain that only goats can climb. ”

An Italian military expert commented on a talk show. As everyone knows, their Italian army, the strength of the 5 scum of the battle. Even if Africa is defeated, I'm afraid it will be enough. At the beginning of World War II, it was Germany that sent an armored division to support, so that Italy could use its steel tanks to crush the African natives and the British troops stationed there.

(Britain at that time was under attack by Germany.) Italy wanted to go to Egypt in North Africa to steal chickens and eliminate the British troops stationed there. But it's still overturned by others)

Thanks to Russia's war on terror, it's not just Italian military scientists who put on a show on TV. Even experts and scholars in Brazil can't help but comment on this, "Russia has made an obvious mistake in military science by sending troops to attack Afghanistan." That's fighting on multiple fronts!"

"The militants of the Chechen Republic on the territory of Russia, which have not yet been completely eliminated. Guerrilla warfare, large and small, is staged every day. However, Russia did not solve this problem well, and even sent troops to Afghanistan to crusade against al-Qaeda and fight against the Taliban forces. This is equivalent to opening up three fronts at the same time!"

"There is simply no country in history that can use three enemies at the same time. If there is, it will not be Russia either. At least the Americans don't dare to do that. "Experts and scholars in Brazil, in order to win ratings and win the attention of everyone. I really dare to say anything on TV.

However, his remarks successfully turned some aunts and aunts who didn't understand current affairs in front of the TV. Many did.

In the face of these public opinions around the world, the Russian military must resist the pressure and fight the first battle of the anti-terrorist campaign in Afghanistan with momentum!

August 29, 2001, 1 a.m. Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, 17 Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers, 60 missiles, 25 bombs. Carpet bombing was carried out on the positions of the Taliban forces. Started the first battle of the Russian army in Afghanistan!

Mazar-i-Sharif is the largest city and transportation hub in northern Afghanistan. Heavily fortified areas for the Taliban. If the Russian army can successfully take it, it will have a very far-reaching significance for the entire war situation.

The air raid was completed quite smoothly. Because with the assistance of the Northern Alliance, the bombing site was very accurate. Almost overnight, the Taliban forces were wiped out, half of the forces in Mazar-i-Sharif!

Even the Taliban's No. 2 leader, Shahariev, was killed by a bomb in the airstrike. This has made the Taliban armed and in chaos. For the first time in their lives, many people have seen the horror of a military power.

The Taliban forces in Mazar-i-Sharif were not given too much time to survive. At 2 p.m. on the same day, the Northern Alliance forces, lurking around the city, took advantage of the chaos and captured the south and west of the city. And took control of the main military bases and airfields of the city.

The battle ended after 4 hours. By sunset, the remnants of the Taliban were retreating to the south and east. The power of the Taliban, which represents the northern part of Afghanistan, is gradually beginning to disintegrate......

……

The first major battle was won, and the good news immediately came back to Russia from the front line.

Ma Wei, who was resting in a hotel near the command center, received a phone call from the headquarters, "Hey, Mr. Ma Wei? Let me tell you a good news! Our army has now succeeded in taking Shakhariev! It is expected that we will be able to quickly take over the five provinces in the northern region and wipe out the Taliban forces in the northern region!"

For such good news, Ma Wei naturally perked up and sat up from the sofa, "How are the casualties? In Afghanistan in this life, Mavi doesn't know how effective it is.

"The number of casualties is this, Mr. Mawi, the Taliban forces have lost about 2,600 casualties. The number of killed in our army is less than 10 people. The Russian sergeant on the other end of the phone said with good news. In fact, there is one thing he did not say, and that is that the Northern Alliance army has a slightly heavier number of casualties...... Because they rushed to the forefront.

"Is there less than 10 people? Okay, I got it. Ma Wei replied thoughtfully. This number of less than 10 people can be considered very perfect for the Russian army.

Since Afghanistan was not invaded by the Soviet Union in this lifetime, it lacked 10 years of experience in a war of attrition. And there was also no arms assistance from the Americans.

Therefore, this year's Taliban armed forces are not very good on the whole. It's okay to bully and bully weak opponents, but when you encounter such a hard stubble as the Russian army. The original set doesn't work!

For example, those M4 tanks of the Taliban were eliminated by the Americans during World War II. encountered the Russian T-90 main battle tank, which was blown up by a ballistic missile falling from the sky before it appeared.

The Taliban forces, including those guarding the tanks, were all blown up beyond recognition by the explosion and flying shrapnel, and were killed on the spot...... How tragic is the death, how tragic is it......

Another example is the Taliban's armed AK-47 submachine guns, grenades, RPG rocket launchers, and mortars. These weapons are used smoothly in normal times. But after experiencing the early hours of the morning, after the Russian terrorist air strikes. The weapons that were originally used smoothly were all nervous, and they couldn't play at the level of training at all.

Directly chased and beaten by the Russian army...... Many of the Taliban fighters killed were shot in the back and bled profusely. It can be seen that once faced with a real war, the instinct of human beings to flee for their lives is stimulated at once.

……

The news of the victory of the Russian army in the first battle also came back to the Russian Kremlin. The Russian president sat in his office, in a good mood listening to the good news from the command center.
