Chapter 947: Logistics Interception and Killing

The mountain road, which is more than a thousand meters long, is littered with damaged transport trucks and Humvee off-road vehicles, as well as smoking Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, the wreckage of reconnaissance helicopters on the hillside, and even two drones have been shot down. There were corpses lying in pools of blood everywhere on the ground, and of course, there was a large group of American troops squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and this time it was the officers of the guerrilla armed forces who came forward, and the special forces were not allowed to show up.

The convoy consisted of 12 infantry fighting vehicles, 160 transport trucks, and 30 Humvee off-road vehicles, and the total number of US troops, numbering more than 600 people, was attacked by more than 100 special forces and more than 3,000 guerrilla forces, and as a result, more than 200 people were killed in battle, more than 300 were captured alive, most of them were drivers, and the entire convoy was wiped out.

Occupying the most favorable terrain and making preparations in advance, under such circumstances, the casualties of the guerrilla forces actually reached more than 400 people, which was much worse than the casualties of the American GIs! The gap is the gap, and these fighters who participate in special operations training are too lacking in actual combat experience, but if they make a slight mistake on the battlefield, the result will be fatal.

The angry commander-in-chief Eric kept scolding, and it was a shame to be fighting like this under the absolute superiority. But he also knew that after a few more battles, the guerrilla forces would gradually mature, and this would take a process.

"Destroy the shells and rockets on the spot, take away all the anti-tank missiles, bullets and grenades, and take away the guns, although these people are the aggressors of Afghanistan and our enemies, but we abide by international conventions, do not kill prisoners, and withdraw as soon as possible according to the original plan, these people are waiting for their own troops to respond!" The head of the regiment said.

It is not that the guerrilla forces are merciful to the invaders, but when they explained this plan, they were sternly warned by Wu Chen in advance, strictly ordering all troops not to mistreat or kill prisoners, and violators would be severely punished by military law.

No matter how many US soldiers die on the battlefield, the US government will not carry out bloody retaliation, and if it is not as good as others, it will be condemned by the whole world, which is not in line with the identity of a liberator. But killing prisoners and mistreating prisoners, that's not the same thing, the Americans are no worse than anyone else.

"We were really wrong, we shouldn't have blinded ourselves because of the first few victories, Mr. Instructor of the Mercenary Corps is right, he is a real military master, the result of the judgment is not bad at all, in just half an hour, the Charikar Line was blown up and killed more than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 lives, more than 10,000 brothers!" The army commander pounded the table in front of him and burst into tears, it is rare for a soldier to shed tears, but with so many brothers dead, his emotions were strongly fluctuated.

Without experiencing a modern attack, I really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is, and the top brass of the Taliban army, who were observing from the rear of the position, were completely stunned by the attack of the US army, and only then did they know that the battles at the beginning were just small fights, and when the strategic bombers dropped bombs, they were as dense as rain, the ground shook and the sky was dark, and the entire position seemed to be torn apart by a huge force.

This is still a military expert group sent by the mercenary corps, which let the Taliban army dig a large number of tunnels in advance, some even dug more than 20 meters, and at the beginning, there were not many people in the main defense line, all of them were hidden in the second line of defense, if the plan formulated by the Taliban was used, the loss would not only be a quarter, but probably three-quarters.

"Don't say that, although we have lost so many martyrs, but we have bought time for the attack and defense of Kabul city, they are all heroes of Afghanistan, they will always live in everyone's heart, we who are alive, will avenge them!"

"Now is not the time for tears, taking advantage of the fact that the transport lines were cut off by mercenaries and the US troops did not use helicopters to block the retreat, I decided to withdraw 20,000 people, half marching along the mountains to Herat, half entering Kabul, to strengthen the defenses of these two cities, and the remaining 10,000 people, even if there is one left, to guard the Charikar Line."

"It's not that I don't care about the lives of my brothers, war has always been a must-choose, if we don't kill each other, we have to die, in order to fight the invaders, everyone in our Tari class must be ready to sacrifice at any time, carry it out!" The leader said.

I've taken off my pants, but you told me that the biggest relative is here, so what's the matter, don't bring such a playful person, okay? The 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 101st Air Assault Division, which were attacking, had to withdraw the attacking troops, and their fists had just been half struck, but they did not send out their strength, which caused the two major generals and division commanders to feel very unhappy, and the position in front of them was completely overturned by bombs, which was a good time to attack!

Although the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles could not be used to cover the attack, the two generals were very sure that as long as the ammunition could keep up, the self-propelled howitzer group and the tank gun group would be used as fire support, and then the transport helicopters of the air assault division would be used to land under the cover of the armed helicopters, and the battle would be ended in two hours at most.

However, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Forces said very clearly, paralyzed, if you are not obedient, the ammunition will not be replenished when the ammunition is finished, and the transport helicopter will still need time to load ammunition and supplies, and if there is any problem, it will be your own fault.

"It's unbelievable, where did these anti-tank missiles and man-portable anti-aircraft missiles used by the Taliban army come from? How many such missiles are there exactly? Now our helicopter gunships do not dare to dispatch, the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles cannot provide the safety of the soldiers, and if this continues, we will have no advantage at all except for frontal combat! The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was so distressed that he stomped his feet.

"Your Excellency Commander, the troops on the front line are still waiting for food and tents, no matter what, transport the most urgently needed supplies first, otherwise you won't even be able to eat or sleep tonight, which will affect your combat effectiveness."

"Hundreds of tons of ammunition and more than 200 vehicles, all destroyed by those damn Taliban troops, we must immediately notify the country, hurry up and deliver ammunition and combat vehicles here, and also inform the mercenary corps, we need a large number of food and daily necessities." said the chief of staff.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Global Hawk UAV monitoring group has found the latest situation, the Taliban army has begun to withdraw part of its troops from the Charikar position, about 10,000 people have withdrawn to the direction of Kabul, and another 10,000 people have withdrawn to the western mountains, and the enemy who is currently remaining in the position, the number is about seven or eight thousand, and they are now entering the tunnel to organize defense, and the specific intention is unknown for the time being." A staff officer said as he entered the office.
