At 8 p.m. that night, without any prior signs, the U.S. military suddenly launched a massive air strike on Kandahar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mo, who was just about to sleep, was startled by the whistling planes in the sky without the slightest sense of sleep. After a few steps to the window, I saw the sky outside, and occasionally saw a few flashing lights. In several places in Kandahar City, huge searchlights were lit at the same time.

Li Mo used the light to see huge planes in the sky, hovering over Kandahar. There was a loud roar that shook the window glass. Occasionally, two lightweight fighters would disappear in a flash.

This is a B52 bomber! Li Mo, who liked to soak in the Internet in his previous life, likes to immerse himself in some military websites and forums very much, and has seen pictures of this kind of bomber countless times.

This bomber, which was built in 1952, was an important part of the three-in-one nuclear deterrence implemented by the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The B52, with a lifting capacity of 221 tons, a bomb load of 27 tons, and a maximum range of more than 16,000 kilometers, it can be said that the bombers that take off in the United States can bomb almost most of the world, and the B52 carrying nuclear bombs is an important support for the Cold War and the Soviet Union.

A total of 744 B52 bombers were produced, while the 90s were the heyday of B52 use, with about 600 B52s in service with the US military.

The B52 bomber is also one of the strategic bombers with the most actual combat operations in the world, and the 52 has been seen in the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and even the Iraq War. Just earlier this year, B52 bombers took off from the Manas base in Kyrgyzstan in the north to bomb al-Qaeda organizations hidden in the mountains of western Afghanistan.

These materials flashed briefly in Li Mo's mind. Could it be that the U.S. military has decided to preemptively strike and retaliate against the Taliban in the clash of annihilating a U.S. infantry battalion despite the deaths of more than 200,000 citizens in Kandahar?

Very puzzled!

Although the U.S. military likes to carry out large-scale air strikes to destroy the opponent's military facilities before the outbreak of war, it can also cause psychological pressure on the opposing army and clear the obstacles for the later U.S. Army units. However, this time, NATO troops are still more than 100 kilometers away, and there is no sign of advancing towards Kandahar, so the US Air Force should not do such a thing that everyone is angry with in disregard of the condemnation of the international community!

Fighting the Taliban is not the same as fighting the Iraqi Republican Guard. Today's Taliban is just an armed force, not an orthodox political axe. It can't be like the fight against Iraq, because the war with Iraq is a two-state war, and there can be 'accidental' civilian casualties. However, at this time, NATO troops are in Afghanistan under the guise of 'peacekeeping forces', and if they still have no scruples about arbitrarily attacking a city, it will have a bad impact even within the NATO army.

"Knock knock!" A hurried knock on the door outside interrupted Li Mo's train of thought. Frowning, Li Mo also knew who was coming.

"Come in!" Without looking back, Li Mo said in a deep voice.

He Xiaoqiang and Razak strode into Li Mo's room together. I saw Li Mo standing by the window with his back to the door. The anxious faces of the two instantly relaxed.

He Xiaoqiang took a step forward and said with a little anxiety, "Boss, the U.S. military is about to bomb, we must get out of here!" ”

"Boss, U.S. bombers have been to the south before, and they have a lot of experience in bombing guerrillas. Always hovering for a while beforehand, putting tremendous pressure on the guerrillas who were hiding, so that the guerrillas would automatically manifest themselves, and then start bombing. So we had to leave the hotel and head to a secret underground bomb shelter to the south! "As a member of the Taliban, Razak has had countless conflicts with the US military, and as the saying goes, the people who know you best are your enemies. As for the habits of the US military, Razak must be much deeper than Li Mo. That's why Li Mo will leave the obvious goal of the hotel.

Li Mo turned his head in surprise, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Do they dare to bomb the hotel? Most of the people who can stay in Kandahar hotels are foreigners. The intelligence of the US military will not know what the consequences of bombing here will be! ”

In his opinion, the hotel is the safest place in the whole city of Kandahar. Staying here are not only businessmen from neighboring countries, but also many merchants and 'tourists' from Western countries. Especially after last night's war, the number of strangers staying in the Kandahar hotel tonight has increased significantly. If the US military kills 'serious businessmen' in many countries, it will face condemnation from the whole world, and even with the propaganda of the United States, it will not be able to bear it.

"Boss, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! And it's so densely built. What if the bomb misses? Let's go to the bomb shelter for a while and come back when the planes are gone! He Xiaoqiang said.

Li Mo groaned for a while, feeling that what the two said was reasonable, and there was no need for him to take risks. Although his ability is strong, in the face of bombs, he is absolutely dead and alive.

Without packing his things, Li Mo went downstairs under the escort of a group of meteor commandos and Taliban guards.

In the lobby of the hotel, most of the guests of the entire hotel have gathered. There was a look of panic on everyone's faces. Even Westerners are no exception.

The U.S. bombers outside may drop bombs the next moment. These bombs are not recognizable from friend or foe, and they will not be detonated just because there are Westerners below. If you die under the bombs of the US military, it is not a wrongful death.

A few impatient guests prepared to leave the hotel and find a safe place to hide. But the four hotel security guards at the entrance of the hotel stopped several guests and persuaded the guests that it was safe to live in the hotel, which was the same as Li Moxiang. That is, the U.S. military will not bomb hotels. Outside, the streets were already in chaos, with countless locals rushing out of their homes and toward what they thought was safe. If these guests leave the hotel, they are more likely to encounter accidents.

Li Mo and a group of people came down, and they were full of power. Especially the subordinates and Taliban guards who followed, in this chaotic time, for the safety of Li Mo, they all held the submachine guns they carried with them in their hands, and looked at everyone they met with vigilant eyes.

A gray jacket with a pair of black jeans underneath and a pair of black touring shoes on his feet. In Huaxia, this is a standard college student dress. Li Mo walked through the crowd in the hall and walked outside the hotel under the protection of a group of subordinates.

Some Westerners stood aside, ready to see Li Mo's jokes. I thought in my heart, after Li Mo was stopped by the security guards, what actions would he make, and would the bodyguards beat up the security guards? Even in times of danger, the human mind still has the idea of watching the excitement.

At the door, the conscientious security guard really stopped Li Mo and his party, and said the words that he had said countless times again, with a sincere look on his face, as if he left the hotel, and his safety would not be guaranteed.

At this time, a man who seemed to be the hotel manager, saw Razak, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran over and waved away the security guard.

As the manager of the Kandahar Hotel, he certainly knew Razak, the man who represented Omar, the Taliban leader. Just today, all the big business people in Kandahar City were called together by Nurzai, who was in charge of Kandahar's defense. It's a meet-and-greet, and it's a allegiance. Local businessmen, in particular, must understand that today's Kandahar is no longer occupied by the US military, but has returned to the control of the Taliban regime.

At the meeting, the hotel manager saw Razak standing beside Nurzai from a distance, and knew that he represented the famous Afghan president and now the Taliban leader Omar!

Nodding his head and saying hello to Razak, the manager tactfully persuaded again. However, seeing that Razak was unmoved, he still wanted to leave. The manager didn't stand in the way either. He couldn't stop him. After seeing the group of people get into a few Humvees in front of the door and leave, the manager took out a tissue and wiped the cold sweat on his head. With the Taliban, they, the natives of Afghanistan, have very mixed thoughts.

No one wants to be a slave. Afghans do not want to see their homeland and become an invisible colony controlled by the United States behind the scenes. Just like Iraq, a country that was once well built was a mess because of the US military action, and even if the US promised to rebuild after the war, when would it take?

However, the original Islamic doctrine that the Taliban regime once practiced in Afghanistan has also made the Afghan people who have experienced freedom very uncomfortable.

Islamic religious fundamentalism, which advocates retro, was originally ordered by Omar that people across the country should not watch TV and movies, not even get a haircut; If a woman has an affair, she will cut off her nose at least and be directly executed at worst. Modern people, even in Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries, cannot endure this return to a primitive society.

Therefore, the local Afghans are neither willing to become Afghans under the control of the United States, nor do they want to return to the repressive social environment of the Taliban regime.

However, the manager suddenly thought of the young man from the East who was beside Razak just now. It seems that Razak and the guards are headed by the Chinese man. I didn't pay attention to it just now, but when I thought about it now, the manager felt that there must be some secret in it, otherwise how could the representative of the leader of Omar be headed by a foreigner?

Shaking his head, the manager knew none of this was what he was supposed to know. If he knew, he was afraid that he would be killed, and with a self-deprecating smile, the manager returned to the hall and explained to the guests again.

A minute after the Humvee convoy left the hotel, it caught the attention of two F-16C fighter jets, which sped past the convoy with a sharp sonic boom.

He Xiaoqiang and Lazak, who were sitting in the car, nervously grabbed the submachine guns in their hands, and stared at the plane in the sky through the car window, for fear that the plane would suddenly launch a missile and hit the convoy.

Three minutes later, the convoy stopped in a bungalow, and after Li Mo and his party got out of the car, they disappeared into the darkness on the side of the road and quickly disappeared......
