Chapter 1000: Killing in the Night IV

"An ordinary sneak attack of the US army, actually killed 1,467 brothers, this is the largest casualty since the establishment of the Afghan guerrilla forces, although it has also caused unprecedented losses to the US military, but the problems exposed by this battle make me feel particularly worried, you are all commanders from the special forces, you have experienced many guerrilla wars, I didn't expect the level of performance really disappointed me."

"Previously, only a small achievement was made, which prevented the US military's plan to occupy Afghanistan in the short term, but this was not done by you alone, with the cooperation of multiple departments of the mercenary corps, without the delay of the General Logistics Department, without Commander Eric personally leading the special forces to cut off the transportation line in Jalalabad, without the real-time information provided by the Global Hawk drone team, without the intelligence of the intelligence department, can you resist the US army's strong attack on Kandahar and Herat?" Thompson said coldly.

In the name of inspecting the safety of the mining area, he and Hunter took a helicopter to a mine near the mountains northeast of Herat, held an emergency meeting, and lashed out at the top of the guerrilla headquarters.

"You are an army jointly formed by the General Headquarters, the General Staff and the Special Forces Command, and you have actually relaxed your vigilance, are mentally paralyzed and careless, and have forgotten even the most basic concept that inertial thinking leads to failure, can we sneak attack the US military, and people will not come to sneak attack us?"

"What is the regulation of the guerrilla armed forces, the enemy's camp is set up in four directions, front, back, left and right, and a group of observation posts must be set up every 500 meters, and it must be double posts, and all personnel are equipped with the latest type of binocular monocular low-light night vision devices, communication equipment and alarm equipment of the US army, which is the way to guard against special forces!"

"You really give me a long face, forget all the regulations of the headquarters, from the mountain pass to your own barracks, the mountain roads for more than ten miles are all clear posts, this kind of environment and this arrangement, doesn't it make the soldiers die? If it weren't for the double sentry at the last post of the camp, the entire infantry brigade would have been wiped out by the American army! Hunter was also trembling with anger.

This time is indeed very dangerous, the US military dispatched the most elite Navy SEALs, as the pioneer of the large army, for a long time accustomed to sneak attacks on the US guerrilla forces, did not feel the slightest danger, to say that the word paralyzing careless, is still very appropriate.

The combat team of the Navy SEALs quietly eliminated all the outposts, and if it weren't for the lurking posts at the last sentry, this elite infantry brigade would most likely be beaten by the U.S. military and lose its combat effectiveness.

"What the hell is going on, I really don't understand, a fully equipped modern infantry brigade attacked the camp of the Taliban army, or the other side was unprepared, and actually sacrificed 866 people and more than 400 were injured, when did the combat effectiveness of the American army become so low?"

"These special forces of the Navy SEALs did not play their due role, they didn't even pay attention to the other party's secret sentinels, they also lost several, and they were incompetent to the extreme, if it weren't for the secret sentinels to sound the alarm, our losses would never be so big, the other party's command structure was destroyed, even if it can't be completely annihilated, it can eliminate 90%!" The commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, after hearing the report on the combat situation of the infantry brigade, almost thought that he had misheard.

The 1st Mechanized Infantry Division is one of the main forces of the United States, and it is also a meritorious unit, and the US military believes that this mechanized infantry division can go head-to-head with the main divisions of any country and win the final victory. But in the battle last night, the number of a battalion was wiped out by the despised Taliban army, a battalion!

"Your Excellency Division Commander, this Taliban army has very strong combat effectiveness, it has obviously received modern military combat training, and its firepower configuration is much higher than that of the previous armies, equipped with a large number of rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles, as well as a number of 60-mm and 81-mm mortars, and its shooting accuracy is not weaker than ours in any way."

"I suspect that this is a killer weapon specially trained by those hostile countries for the Taliban government, but we have detected the camp, and if it wasn't for the exchange of fire between the two sides last night, this force would have caused us huge losses." The brigadier general, faced with the anger of the major general, had to explain his defeat.

It is the code of conduct of the US military not to make excuses for its own failures, but it is also the work of the generals to find out the reasons for their failures, so as not to make the same mistakes again in future battles.

This reason is absolutely possible, and the US generals in Afghanistan all know a secret that is not a secret: the Taliban army has received funding from some developed countries, and not only has advanced anti-tank missiles and man-portable anti-aircraft missiles, but also has received modern military training.

Moreover, the honor of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division cannot be lost in the hands of the Taliban army, this is the responsibility of the division commander, so the reason of the brigade commander is the truth, and when reporting to Washington, the situation is only exaggerated and not reduced, and at the same time, the hapless Navy SEALs also need such an excuse to cover up their incompetence, and the two sides hit it off.

"Boss orders!" Hunter stood up first and said, his expression very serious. These four words were like the emperor's holy decree, and all the guerrilla commanders present stood up and listened to the instructions.

"In order to achieve the strategic goal of containing the United States and to achieve the strategic goal of depleting the overall strength of the US military, the boss has decided to launch two large-scale counterattacks in Kandahar and Herat, the Kandahar side will mobilize the 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division of the Afghan guerrilla forces, and the Herat side will mobilize the 3rd Infantry Division and the 4th Infantry Division, which will be coordinated by the Kandahar Combat Detachment and the Herat Combat Detachment of the Special Forces Command, as well as the local Taliban army."

"The goal of this counterattack is to destroy the camps and supplies of the US army, kill and wound the enemy to the greatest extent, and relieve the pressure on Kandahar and Herat, in view of the gap between the enemy and us, the boss allows you to use the hidden BM-21 multiple rocket launcher regiment to cooperate, fire at a long distance, and withdraw into the mountains immediately after the fight, when the former Soviet Union launched the war in Afghanistan, a lot of rocket artillery was abandoned here, and the US military will not guess that we did it."

"The time for the attack is set at four o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, and your troops have six days to prepare, pay attention to the safety of their camps, and the US military can discover the second place if it can discover the first place, and then it will attack with fighter jets or strategic bombers. Hunter said.
