Lashkar Gah, southwest of Kandahar, is the closest city to the Golden Crescent region and is also the main logistics supply base of the US army in this clearance war, where part of the US military logistics troops and a motorized infantry division of the Afghan interim government army are stationed.

The logistics supply of more than 80,000 US troops is a very heavy work, and the US military has built a huge logistics base on the edge of the oasis south of Lashkarga, surrounded by the Eske blast wall, which is divided into multiple areas.

For example, residential areas, office areas, fuel areas, ammunition areas, food areas, daily necessities areas, transport vehicle sites and armored vehicle sites, etc., as well as field airfields and heliports.

In view of the rampant guerrilla activities here, the US military has placed 20 kilometers around the base full of guard posts, and if they want to get close to the base without a pass, they will be driven away or directly arrested. More than thirty kilometers away from here is the station of the motorized rifle division, which has entered the Golden Crescent area.

The supply of materials for the logistics base, including fuel, is all handled by the logistics support department of the mercenary corps, and the US military is also very satisfied with this contractor, and even suggested that the presidential palace reward the mercenary corps, although the price of food and materials is ridiculously expensive, but the US military thinks that this is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.

The key is that the things purchased by the logistics department of the mercenary corps are more than a little more expensive, but the quality of the things is indeed the best of the best, which is too in line with the logic of the US military, and the mercenary corps has a strong transportation network around the world, and the procurement is also global-oriented.

For example, there are more than a dozen kinds of coffee alone, carefully selected directly from the country of origin, such as Jamaican coffee, Cuban coffee, Brazilian coffee, Colombian coffee, Indonesian coffee, and African coffee from Angola and Ethiopia, including Côte d'Ivoire.

The U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan, who have been spoiled by mercenary regiments, eat quite high-end and high-grade meals at every meal, and suddenly fall to the point where they can't even eat, and their combat effectiveness will definitely plummet, how can they fight when they are hungry?

"We are in trouble, not only did the Taliban guerrillas attack the mercenary transport convoys, but a number of gas stations in Lashkar Gha were also attacked by the Taliban guerrillas overnight, the refueling equipment was demolished, the gas stations were forced to close, our fuel supply was greatly affected, and the momentum of the offensive had to be slowed down." The commander of the US forces in Afghanistan said worriedly.

The most important means of attack this time is to use transport helicopters to carry out rapid landing operations, but helicopters need to be refueled; in the case of insufficient fuel, the attacking troops continue to carry out the plan, and they will encounter the danger of a sneak attack by the Taliban guerrillas; the Golden Crescent area is not a plain area, there are mountains and forests everywhere, and the roads are in very bad condition, and the guerrillas are very familiar with the terrain here, but the US troops are blind men riding blind horses, and they are easily exploited.

"The commander of this guerrilla unit is very clever and sees the only weakness of our plan, logistics supply is an important condition for ensuring victory in the battle, and if there is a loophole in this link, the battle will not be able to continue."

"Now that victory is in sight, we can only put pressure on the mercenary corps, we must supply the logistics base in the planned quantity, it is their own problem to suffer losses, and the actions of the US military must not be stopped." said the deputy chief of staff of the army.

Under pressure from the U.S. government and the Ministry of Defense, the Afghan command of the mercenary corps also gritted its teeth and dispatched a military police mechanized brigade to set up protection on the stretch of road between Kandahar and Lashkargah, and the transport convoy from Jalalabad to Kabul to Kandahar, all of which increased the convoy, and dispatched helicopter gunships to attack the battalion for surveillance and protection.

Two squadrons of Condor 1 propeller fighters and two A-10 attack aircraft air wings were also sent to search for traces of the Taliban guerrillas.

The transport department of the General Logistics Department of the mercenary regiment increased the amount of supplies to the US army, and even implemented emergency airlifts, which quickly made up for the share of previous losses. But the US military did not know that a huge conspiracy was formed.

"The General Command and the General Staff have given us the task of destroying the US military logistics base in Lashkar Qa tomorrow night, blowing up weapons, ammunition and vehicles, burning all supplies and oil, forcing the US military operations to a halt and giving the Taliban government-in-exile enough time to evacuate." said the commander of the elite partisan armed forces.

"Commander, it is too difficult to attack the heavily guarded US military logistics base with our little manpower, but there is a mechanized infantry brigade guarded by US troops, and within a radius of 20 kilometers, there are all US military sentries and patrols, such a thorough defensive lineup, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the task." said the chief of staff.

"That's what you answered, and I was scolded by the chief of the General Staff, who said, who let you attack head-on, a bunch of stupid people, don't know how to fight? You can't afford to provoke the U.S. military, can't you provoke the nearby Provisional Government Army? The commander said with a wry smile.

"Damn, the chief of the General Staff is not wrong at all, I am really a pig's brain, I actually forgot this most favorable condition, it is indeed a regression. The motorized infantry division of the government army has an artillery regiment, and three artillery battalions are equipped with fifty-four American M198 155-mm howitzers, and the firing range is completely capable. The chief of staff said in surprise.

The guerrilla units want to confront the US army head-on, or they are still in a flat area, which is the same thing as sending them to death, and the US military's mechanized troops, armored units, and air force can eat them cleanly in a short time, and their weapons and equipment are too far behind, and their high-tech means are too far behind, and they do not occupy a geographical advantage.

However, when it comes to dealing with the motorized infantry division of the Provisional Government Army, the guerrilla units are not at all embarrassed, and although this newly established government unit has been trained by instructors from NATO countries and is equipped with advanced American weapons, its combat effectiveness and experience are scum.

And the biggest problem is that most of the soldiers in it go to the army to eat, for the US government to aid the dollar, and there is no sense of mission to protect the family and defend the country. As soon as the shots rang out, they either ran around like headless flies, or their legs and stomachs cramped, and a few veterans and officers could not hold up the situation.
