In the blue sky, not a single cloud is visible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoTwenty kilometres south of Kandahar city there is a mountainous area with complex terrain.

On the gray peak, three heads suddenly appeared. Three bearded faces, three heads like cobras, and gray bodies were clinging to the mountain, looking around with their heads held high.

Suddenly, there was a faint humming sound in the sky. The faces of the three heads changed, and they immediately lay down, regardless of whether the hot rocks would burn their faces.

The head in the middle was tilted sideways, even though it was pressed against the ground. Diyo's eyes kept rolling, and soon he found the source of the sound in the air.

Less than a thousand meters in the air from the top of the mountain, a white figure flew in. The anti-US armed guerrillas in Afghanistan all know that it is the US military's 'Predator' unmanned reconnaissance plane.

This unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is equipped with light spot / infrared reconnaissance equipment, GPS navigation equipment and a synthetic hole radar with all-weather reconnaissance capabilities, and can be at an altitude of 4,000 meters with a resolution of 0.3 meters. When the US military in Afghanistan was reconnoitring guerrillas, it made extensive use of such unmanned reconnaissance planes, which stayed in the air for up to 24 hours.

The terrain of Afghanistan is complex and mountainous. It's a partisan paradise. Here, taking into account the lessons of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. military rarely sent reconnaissance troops to the mountains to find hidden guerrillas. Rather, reconnaissance is carried out by high-tech, satellite and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

The weather in Afghanistan is unpredictable, with high temperatures during the day and very low temperatures at night. Even in spring, the temperature here reaches around 30 degrees. The guerrilla scouts hidden on the mountain peaks were able to use the hot surface to evade the infrared reconnaissance equipment.

After the unmanned reconnaissance plane flew away, the three heads that were attached to the ground were raised at the same time. Without saying a word, he turned and left the top of the mountain.

The three scouts skilfully crossed several hills to the back of a mountain peak, where there was a small valley. What is strange is that on the mountainside next to this valley, a huge stone protrudes from it. Observing from the air, the view was completely blocked by the boulder.

In the valley, there is a lot of people. Green tents are neatly arranged. Men in Afghan robes and Islamic turbans walk around with AK-47s. From time to time, a few noisy voices would be heard, and a gust of wind would blow the Islamic turban, revealing a childish face.

Sticking to the mountain wall, a cave was dug up to three meters deep. At the moment in the cave, several men were talking about something around a folding table.

Lemo and Michael stood on the side, arms crossed, as the Taliban top brass discussed the tactical plan for the attack on Kandahar.

"Captain Nurzai, I don't agree with the method you proposed! According to the establishment of the US army, this infantry battalion has 54 M2 infantry fighting vehicles, 6 M3 cavalry fighting vehicles, and 6 107 mortars. These armored forces are absolutely not suitable for our frontal attack. That would only send our fighters to their deaths! A young man's eyes widened as he stared directly at a small man in his forties across from him and retorted loudly.

Nurzai glanced contemptuously at the person who spoke in front of him, and said mockingly, "Kalemaddin, you won't be stupid in the Pakistani training camp, will you?" What our great Islamic warriors need is to defeat the aggressors with dignity. The purpose of our Taliban attack on Kandahar this time is to let the Islamic brothers all over the world see the heroism and strength of the Taliban, so that they will gain the respect and support of other Islamic brothers. If we don't attack head-on, we don't say whether we can retake Kandahar, and even if we do, we can only see that we have defeated the aggressor by intrigues. The 'jihad' we are waging will continue to be regarded as terrorist activities. Keep discrediting us Taliban! ”

The righteousness of his words was very much agreed with by some of the older officers.

Whether or not the Taliban are called the patrons of terrorist organizations by the outside world, they will never admit it.

"You ......" Kalemaddin blushed and pointed at Nurzai, speechless. Beside him, too, stood a group of young but high-ranking Taliban military officers, all of whom glared at Nurzai at the same time, and the atmosphere on both sides suddenly became tense.

Li Mo watched it with relish on the side. This kind of thing can happen in any long-term organization. They all belong to the patriarchal faction and the young Zhuang faction. The two parties have the same interests, but they also have different means of conflict. This is an inevitable consequence of the development of an organization, and it must be experienced. As for the outcome, it depends on how the organization should develop.

"Michael, don't you have a hint of resistance to this?" Li Mo suddenly smiled and asked Michael, who was silent beside him.

The group of guerrillas in front of them was talking about how to attack the American troops in Kandahar. As an American, Michael stood aside and watched calmly, and the thoughts in his heart were very curious about Li Mo.

"No, I'm a pacifist!" Michael replied with a straight face.

Li Mo, who was dumbfounded, didn't know what to say. An arms dealer even claims to be a pacifist!

"You should know that they are going to attack the US military!" Li Mo deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "US military".

Michael shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I feel sympathy for those fellow Americans, but I can't stop them from going to war." It's all the fucking politicians and corporations. ”

Li Mo was speechless!

"What do you think we're going to do? Will the delta be annihilated, or will they be held back? Li Mo took out a pack of Chinese and took out a stick. Take a deep breath and exhale a smoke ring with a refreshing breath.

"Annihilation? Lee, this joke isn't funny at all! Our men have the ability to annihilate a detachment of Delta special forces? No kidding, I think it's a win to hold them back! Michael has been pessimistic about this mission. If it weren't for the profits after the success of the plan and the deepening of relations with Omar, the Taliban leader, Michael would have slipped away by this time.

Li Mo can understand Michael's current mood. It's just that the two will cooperate later. Although the Meteor Commando can drag out or even wipe out a detachment's delta by relying on it alone, the plan is to cooperate twice, and if the Meteor Commando is too conspicuous, it is not in line with Li Mo's consistent low-key principle. His relationship with Michael is not close enough that even the secret of the combat effectiveness of the Meteor Commando can be revealed.

It seems that I will have to give instructions to He Xiaoqiang later. Don't expose your true combat effectiveness. He is now afraid that this group of boys will not be able to control it as soon as they enter the battlefield and give full play to their strength, so that Li Mo's biggest hole card will be exposed.

The Taliban's military leaders are still noisy there, and neither side is willing to take a step back. all believe that their tactics are correct. If it goes on like this, I don't know how long it will be noisy.

Omar, who had been sitting there silently, suddenly prayed for a while. One eye shimmered with a dazzling light.

"Enough!"

A simple shout silenced the voices of both sides.

"Our plan is to attack Kandahar at 7pm today. You're still arguing, how are we going to send troops then? Omar's eyes went back and forth over the faces of Nurzai and Kalemaddin until they lowered their heads and said in a deep voice.

"In the evening we attacked according to the plan of Calmauddin. What we need is not how to send us to death with dignity, but how to retake Kandahar. All tactics should be based on this premise. On the premise of capturing Kandahar, it is also necessary to reduce the losses of the Taliban. Omar said in a resolute voice.

The Taliban's armed forces, in addition to scattered guerrilla groups scattered in the mountainous regions of southern Afghanistan, also have two formed units. One of them is the Afghan Guard, which was formed by the elite of the military when the Taliban regime was in charge of Afghanistan; The current military director of this unit is Nurzai, and most of the officers in the Afghan Guard are veterans who once fought with Omar, and after being ousted by the U.S. military, these descendants of officers and soldiers have gone underground, and finally under the order of Omar, the Afghan Guard is formed with a strength of 800 people.

The other unit is young Afghan officers and soldiers trained in training camps set up by Islamic religious schools and Pakistani militant groups after the Taliban came to power. Although they have not fought against Omar, they are elites trained by a cruel and scientific training method. These young and loyal young fighters were formed by Omar into a unit: the Taliban Guard, with a strength of 700 men.

At the beginning of the establishment of the two parties, various contradictions arose. As the leader, Omar, in order to better control the military power of the Taliban, has always turned a blind eye to this and allowed the two sides to make trouble. But Omar won't let the two sides get too much into trouble. That would not be good for the Taliban as a whole. At critical times, Omar will play 50 boards each, pouring cold water on both sides.

Today's plan is the largest since the Taliban stepped down. Before that, the Taliban had been petty and had been doing suicide attacks or car bombs from time to time. With Omar's shrewdness, how could he not know that this kind of terrorist attack did not allow him to regain power in Afghanistan, but rather brought the entire Taliban into disrepute. Neither the attack on civilians nor the lone soldier of the US military can cause harm to the Northern Alliance or NATO forces in Afghanistan.

In the bottom of his heart, Omar has his own calculations. That was the plan to capture Kandahar this time.

All kinds of terrorist attacks can not only divert the attention of the US military, but also make the US military have a contemptuous mentality towards the Taliban. Even under various attacks, the US military was furious, and at the same time, there was an idea that they could not wait to eliminate the Taliban. At this time, Omar silently laid out the plan this time.

The U.S. military, dizzy from various terrorist attacks, would never have thought that the Taliban were secretly stretching out their bayonets, targeting Kandahar, Afghanistan's second largest city.

One side is secretly deployed, occupying the time, place, and people. After all, the Taliban was the nest of the Taliban in Kandahar, and the level of support for the Taliban there was not comparable elsewhere. On the other hand, the U.S. military has lost its vigilance and only knows how to search for guerrillas in the mountains, and the defense of the city is mainly focused on preparing for terrorist attacks, and there is no preparation for the Taliban counteroffensive.

In this case, the two sides fight against each other, and the result is ......
