Chapter 571: Capture of Baghlan
Jiang Hao's orders were quickly transmitted from the command headquarters to all combat units on the front line, and now it is not necessary to convey combat orders more than before, and now it is the information age, which is much more labor-saving and faster than before. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info after receiving the order from the headquarters. All the troops on the front line quickly threw themselves into new battles. Of course, the battle at this time cannot be regarded as a battle, it can only be regarded as a hurry. The Afghan government forces here have basically been crippled by the Republican forces, and there is little resistance left. Otherwise, Jiang Hao would not have given such a serious order.
The commanders at all levels of the front-line troops were all taken aback after receiving Jiang Hao's order, they didn't want to be really sent to a military court by Jiang Hao, although many people knew that Jiang Hao's order was just to urge them, but if they went too far, no one would be able to keep them. So the troops on the front line are working hard.
After several hours of rapid marching, the front-line troops had exchanged fire with the Afghan government forces on the Baghlan Line. The first to arrive was the Flying Tiger Regiment of the 42nd Group Army of the Northwest Military Region, and Li Aidang had already given a death order that it must rush to the Baghlan Line as quickly as possible. The Flying Tiger Regiment is a veteran infantry regiment of the Northwest Military Region, and its combat effectiveness is well-known throughout the Military Region. In order to adapt to the needs of the idle you now, the Flying Tigers are now a fully mechanized infantry regiment. Its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. Of course, not only the Flying Tiger Regiment, an infantry regiment, but also the special training regiment of the 60th Group Army also arrived at almost the same time.
The vanguard has arrived, and according to Jiang Hao's order, these two regiments are now immediately engaged in battle, attracting the attention of the Afghan government forces and buying time for the follow-up troops. You must know that not only the Republic troops have reconnaissance troops, but also the Afghan government army has reconnaissance troops, but they have always been eaten firmly by Geng Jihui and several of their commandos, otherwise Jiang Hao would not dare to let all the troops on the front line attack Baghlan on all fronts.
The combat effectiveness of the Flying Tiger Regiment and the Special Training Regiment is really not covered, and the strength of the two regiments has stubbornly withstood the attack of nearly three divisions of the Afghan government army! Although the strength of the two regiments is no longer under the strength of the bombing of the Sixth Air Force Division, the combat effectiveness of the two regiments cannot be underestimated.
The battle was much simpler, as Geng Jihui and his men attacked the headquarters of three divisions of the Afghan government army, forcing their commander to give the order to stop the fighting. The fighting in this direction has already attracted everyone's attention, and the bombing of Commander Baghlan has paralyzed the command system of the Afghan government forces for a while, although after several hours of hard work it is almost possible to achieve communication. However, the death of the Supreme Commander of Baghlan made it impossible for the Afghan government forces on the Baghlan Line to cooperate effectively, which gave the Flying Tigers and the Special Training Group and Geng Jihui their chances.
The battle between the Flying Tiger Regiment and the Special Training Regiment didn't last long before it ended, and Geng Jihui and their contributions were indispensable. Follow-up troops have also arrived and launched the heaviest assault on the Afghan government's first line of defense in Baghlan. The already fragmented First Line of Baghlan was even weaker in the face of the powerful offensive of the Republican forces.
The big thing in modern warfare is information, and what we fight is intelligence. The reconnaissance detachments sent by the Afghan government army were destroyed one after another, making them look like blind men, and the bombing of the headquarters turned the Afghan government army into a headless snake that could not organize an effective defense at all. Both sides doomed the Afghan government forces to failure.
During the entire fighting, there was no movement in the US military camp near Kabul. They have received orders from home that no American soldier should leave the barracks and make any moves that could affect relations between the two sides until the Republican forces have done something harmful to them. In the eyes of the U.S. government, the Republic is now like a barrel of dynamite, which may explode at any time, and they don't want to actually go to war with the Republic. This is not in the interest of the U.S. government. Moreover, the US government's troops stationed in Afghanistan have been attacked by local anti-American forces over the years, and they also want to see the helpless expression of the Republic in Afghanistan being organized by armed forces.
The offensive of the troops of the republics was not reserved at all and did not dare to keep it. Without anti-aircraft weapons, the Afghan government forces are like a flock of lambs to the slaughter in front of the army aviation forces, without any resistance. Although the Afghan government has invested nearly 200,000 troops in the first line of defense in Baghlan, this number of troops is simply not enough to effectively organize the offensive of the republican forces. The Republic has invested a total of nearly 200,000 troops in Afghanistan, and Jiang Hao has put all his troops into this battle, except for other cities that need to leave the necessary troops behind. In the face of the Afghan government forces that have lost their artillery units, air force units, command headquarters, and missile units, if the republican forces cannot win the war, then the republic is waiting for others to occupy it.
The attack of the troops went smoothly, and it was more than anyone could have imagined. Jiang Hao also set off with the people with the command headquarters when the front-line troops set off, and of course, there was also about a battalion of guards of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade. At any time, Jiang Hao's protection of the command is the top priority, not because Jiang Hao is afraid of death, but because Jiang Hao is well aware of the impact of the command on the front-line troops. The troops that have lost their command are like headless snakes that simply cannot pose much of a threat to the enemy.
During this period, Jiang Hao received a message that made him a little different. The news came from Luo Jiahui, who took over Geng Jihui's surveillance of the DT organization according to Jiang Hao's orders after returning to China. Since Jiang Hao's work has been focused on this war for a long time, he has almost forgotten the reason for this war -- to fight terrorism. According to Lo Ka Fai, the personnel of the DT organization may be transferred to Afghanistan in the near future, and as for where they will go in the end, Lo Ka Fai and they do not know.
The current DT organization is not a concern at all in Jiang Hao's opinion, but Jiang Hao will not relax his attack on them. Jiang Hao secretly made a decision in his heart, and when this battle was over, he would directly send troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of the DT organization, not giving them a chance to resurrect.
By the time Jiang Hao arrived at the Baghlan defense line, the republican troops had basically occupied the entire Baghlan, and the goal of this battle had basically been achieved, and the rest of the work was not Jiang Hao's business. (To be continued.) )
