Chapter 082, step on it
Although the road that the northern army needs to travel is one-third longer than that of the southern front, the southern front army faces much more US military bases than the northern front, because almost all the armed forces are active in the southern part of Afghanistan.
The north is the territory of the Afghan National Army, so the pressure on the US military is much less, and the Afghan capital Kabul is in the south and close to Pakistan, so most of the US military bases are established in the south, and there are only a few bases on the northern front.
The Southern Front Army Group commanded by Abdul-Jabbar had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and there was no way, the promise of laying Afghanistan in four days was his own promise, and it was impossible for him to let Clark carry this biggest burden.
It's just that the difficulties he imagined did not appear, and the Southern Front Army went all the way and took three US military bases, many of which almost did not fire a single shot.
Of course, this is not because the U.S. military surrendered when they saw the Prophet Army, but on the contrary, before they entered these bases, these bases were on the highest alert, because there had just been a terrorist attack here, and the most incredible thing is that these air attacks were different from usual, and the armed forces were almost desperately carrying out suicide attacks, and they were also bases against the U.S. military.
Caught off guard, many US military bases in the south have suffered heavy losses, of course, this heavy blow is only a heavy blow in the eyes of ***, but for *** armed forces, the price paid is even greater.
The U.S. military killed a lot of *** members in the counterattack, but none of them were alive, so when the Prophet Army wearing the U.S. military uniform appeared, the U.S. Army was defenseless at all, after all, it had just been attacked, plus the Prophet Army said that they were here to reinforce, and they were also driving U.S. tanks with U.S. military equipment, nothing was wrong, how could they be prepared?
Even the U.S. troops at checkpoints greeted the machine gunners on the tanks of the Prophet Army from afar, but unfortunately, they were greeted by a shuttle of bullets, and they didn't even know why these colleagues shot at them before they died, after all, who would have thought that in Afghanistan, a place with a big fart, there would be an organized camouflaged U.S. military?
Compared with Abdul-Jabbar's happiness, Anthony, the supreme commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, frowned, they couldn't find the *** armed forces they wanted to find on weekdays, and finally found a trap that could be a trap, but they didn't expect that almost all the bases in Afghanistan were now attacked by *** armed forces.
At the beginning, Anthony thought that these *** armed forces were crazy, did they want to give up the superior guerrilla warfare and confront the US army head-on?
In fact, Anthony and his subordinates do not want the armed forces to do this with them all the time, but this only exists in hope, it cannot become a reality, and after the war with several major powers, the Afghans are so strong in combat and clever in tactics that even the US military has a headache.
The army of a superpower is humiliated when it sinks in front of a swarm of ants.
And today, the people are really armed as they want, they really do it, and they are doing it in full swing, as the supreme commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, Anthony is certainly not stupid, he believes that *** must have their purpose in doing this, but now he is not clear.
However, there is no abnormal news from the intelligence network, but all bases are constantly asking for help from the General Headquarters, what can Anthony do? I had no choice but to go to the capital, Kabul, to find the Afghan government.
But Anthony knows very well that these people in Afghanistan are unreliable, and sometimes Anthony wonders why, as Afghans, the national army they trained is like a group of soft eggs, often losing face, while the *** armed forces can make them dizzy and make them find trouble from time to time.
As Anthony expected, the Minister of Defense of the Afghan government swore that he would definitely send the local national army and help the U.S. military resist the armed forces, after all, they are allies.
When leaving, Anthony always felt that this guy's smile was a little weird, but Anthony couldn't think of what was weird.
Until nearly a day after the terrorist attack, the next morning, Anthony suddenly received a message, if it was in normal times, this news would have been immediately ignored, but now it was taken seriously by Anthony, and his face changed from exhaustion to pale in an instant.
After repeated confirmation and identification through a special contact code, Anthony discovered that this information was true.
This was only a flight report from a pilot at Bagram Air Base, who flew at an ultra-low altitude for the sake of flying, but he saw a group of tanks and armored vehicles on the highway, and even a helicopter escorting him.
Although these are the equipment of the US military at a glance, this pilot is very vigilant, because the US military in Afghanistan does not have such a large armored force, mainly the air force and special forces joint operations, after all, in the terrain of Afghanistan, large clusters of armored forces are of no use at all, this is not in Iraq, people are hiding in caves at high altitudes, can you drive tanks to such high altitude mountains?
Not to mention that there is no way to go, even if there is a road to go, the US military does not dare to go, there are many hidden places in the mountains, and the tank can only become the target of these *** armed forces, although the US army's tank armor is thick, but they still understand the truth of dripping stones.
Therefore, the U.S. military mainly uses drones and fighter jets, as well as a small number of helicopters to fight, and the Mountain Division and the 101st Airborne Division are the ace units of the army, each with its own special forces, so it will be sent to Afghanistan.
This pilot just noticed this, but he didn't suspect anything, the reason is very simple, *** armed forces are not capable of disguised as the US military, and it is still such a formed US military, but this pilot still dutifully reported this anomaly.
Anthony also didn't want to believe that these formed American troops were disguised, but as the supreme commander, he knew very well how many armored vehicles were in the Kandahar military camp and how many tanks there were in Afghanistan as a whole.
And according to the pilot's report, it is clear that these have exceeded the total number of armored forces of the entire US military on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
Anthony breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't know where these pretenders came from, but he suddenly thought of one thing, a piece of information sent from Iraq a while ago, Admiral George asked him for a possible attack by the local prophet army, at that time Anthony almost didn't vomit blood, and said that George was stupid, right?
But thinking about it now, Anthony understands something, the Prophet Army has really begun to attack, and they disguised themselves as American troops, and they have already hit Ghazni, which is only more than a hundred kilometers away from Kabul, and with the advance speed of the armored forces, it only takes less than half a day to hit the capital.
Anthony was a little creepy, not because he was afraid of the Prophet Army, but because this unit that appeared out of nowhere and was still wearing the uniform of the American Army, where did they jump out, where did they get their weapons, and why didn't he receive any information about this?
Looking at the map, Anthony clenched his fists, and the staff officers around him didn't understand why the usually calm General Anthony was so nervous, and it didn't seem to be so scary.
But soon they all understood, Anthony told the situation again, and the entire command was in an uproar, but at this time, it seemed that it was not the time to investigate the reason, but how to deal with the Prophet Army in front of them.
"If it really goes according to your judgment, I think this force should be considered to be alone, although I don't know how he deceived our base, and what happened to those people in the base, but as long as he is alone, we have enough ability to keep them in Afghanistan!" Chief of Staff Calvin said suddenly.
"They are mainly the army, and we are mainly the air force, their tanks can't deal with us, but our planes can blow them up one by one." The deputy chief of staff also said.
Anthony thought to himself, this is right, after all, the other party is alone, even if he can get close to them quietly, but what can he do, the plane of the US military stationed in Afghanistan is vegetarian?
But in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong, as if he had ignored something, but now that the situation was urgent, he didn't have time to think about it so much.
Anthony is a veteran, he did not order the air force to attack immediately, but instead ordered the entire Bagram air base to be put on maximum security, and at the same time, like all US military bases except Kabul, sent identification codes and asked them to reply with special identification codes.
The advantage of this is that you can look at the bases that have been occupied by the Prophet Army, and which bases have not yet been occupied.
But it's good that he didn't do it, and his face became even more ugly after he did, because there are only 12 bases in the entire US military stationed in Afghanistan, and eight of these ten bases are in the south and four are in the north.
But there are only two who have replied to the correct identification code, one is the Jalalabad base not far from the Afghan capital Kabul, which is built on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, in the southeast of the capital Kabul, so it is impossible for the Prophet Army to fight there, unless they have already captured the capital, it is possible to attack there.
The other reply was a base in the northeast, which means that all the other US military bases have fallen silently except for Bagram Air Base and these two bases in the capital.
The whole staff was silent, Anthony gasped in a low voice, like a dying tiger, why did the Prophet Army arrive here silently, but they didn't have any news? Even if it is disguised, it cannot be so hidden.
"Immediately call the Afghan presidential palace and tell Ariza that the Prophet's army is about to hit the capital, see how he reacts!" Anthony said calmly.
A few minutes later, the staff officer hung up the phone and said: "He said that in Afghanistan the US troops carry out any mission, they have no right to interfere!" ”
The staff officers didn't understand why they had to tell President Ariza about the situation at this time, but Anthony, who heard this reply, suddenly laughed: "No wonder they can fight here, it turns out that Ariza has betrayed us, and even the *** armed forces are now helping the Prophet Army." ”
"How is that possible?" The General Staff couldn't believe that the armed forces and the Nationalist Army were definitely mortal enemies, and it was impossible to unite with the Prophet Army to fight them.
"Why can't it be?" Anthony smiled and said, "We are Americans, and they are all Arabs, they all believe in *** religion, and in their eyes we are all foreign enemies." ”
"So what now?" Calvin asked with a grim face.
"Hit." Anthony put away his smile and suddenly calmed down, "Ariza didn't directly turn his face with us because he was still weighing the pros and cons, if we left the Prophet Army in Afghanistan, Ariza would immediately return to our camp, if we can't stay, or be annihilated, Afghanistan is the Prophet Army, so now we are facing the Prophet Army, as for the *** arm?" Hehe, I'm sure Ariza will deal with them for us, looking at the *** armed forces with heavy losses, Ariza has no reason not to step on it. ”
