Chapter 935: War Comes Seven

The fact that the local armed forces in Afghanistan were able to defeat the former Soviet Union and defend their country was supported by a number of factors, in addition to the help of many countries, and most importantly, played a crucial role in the use of guerrilla tactics. If you want to confront the menacing Soviet army head-on and achieve victory in the end, then hurry up and wash and sleep, in your dreams this wish may come true!

Except for their familiarity with the terrain of Afghanistan, the Taliban army and the American army cannot compare with each other, whether it is the scientific and technological content of weapons and equipment, or the quality of individual combat.

The successive victories at the beginning were due to the mercenary corps planning support behind the scenes, and even directly dispatched special forces and guerrilla forces to participate in the war, taking out hidden targeted weapons to participate in the war, for which it began to operate as early as three years ago.

Otherwise, with the Taliban army, it can really withstand the strafing of Apache helicopter gunships? Can withstand the onslaught of Abrams main battle tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles? Can withstand U.S. air superiority and precision strikes? There are spy satellites and reconnaissance planes in the sky, and drones have to be added, and the actions are under the noses of others, how can this battle be fought?

The United States is a typical international hooligan, and if it does not start a war, it will feel uncomfortable, so the US military has been honed from the war, and the ability of infantry and tanks to cooperate in combat and the ability to combine air and ground have all been honed.

Even Wu Chen, with so many resources and so well prepared, only dared to say that the first three ambushes would be transferred to urban fortifications and guerrilla warfare, so what qualifications did the Taliban government have to confront the US army head-on?

"How did things come to this? The Taliban army is so poor, where did it come from so many anti-tank mines and anti-infantry mines? There are also heavy howitzers, in terms of firepower density, there are at least two battalions, the caliber is at least 155 mm, the firing speed is fast and the strike is accurate, this is definitely a level that can only be achieved by a regularly trained army! The deputy division commander looked at the scene in front of him, his face was incredulous, and he almost fell headlong.

The wasteland, less than two kilometers away, has been completely turned over by mines and artillery shells, not an inch of intact ground can be found, and there are craters everywhere, as well as blown up main battle tanks, smoking infantry fighting vehicles, downed helicopter gunships and reconnaissance helicopters, dead bodies and blown limbs everywhere.

It's only been half an hour, and more than 3,000 NATO troops and Northern Alliance troops are almost completely reimbursed here, most of them are Northern Alliance soldiers, and the survivors are also missing arms and legs, covered with wounds, and more importantly, their eyes are glazed, as if they are stupid by this scene.

In just 10 minutes, 36 heavy howitzers of two artillery battalions fired 720 large-caliber grenades and more than 100 American-made 81-millimeter mortars at a rate of 2 rounds per minute, pouring more than 10,000 shells at a rate of 15 rounds per minute, plus more than 1,000 anti-tank mines and more than 1,000 anti-infantry mines.

"In the future, the opportunity for such a large-scale sneak attack on the opponent's army can basically be said to be very small, but the current results are also worthy of the initial investment, the key is that we have planted the seeds of suspicion between the United States and European countries." Hunter said, looking at the monitor.

More than 50 main battle tanks of a heavy tank battalion of the First Mechanized Infantry Division were reimbursed, more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles and cavalry fighting vehicles were also reimbursed, and more than a dozen armed helicopters and reconnaissance helicopters were shot down, as well as dozens of trucks.

"Those CIA agents, all of them are rice bucket idiots and bastards, why does the Taliban army have such strong firepower, they didn't warn us at all beforehand? The intelligence officers of the Northern Alliance are also waste, they have been fighting for so many years, and they don't even know the hidden strength of others! The brigade commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division couldn't help but be furious when he saw the tragic situation in front of him, and most of the troops lost this time were his subordinates.

"Don't blame the CIA, according to the information provided to us, the Taliban army only has some second-generation fighters and old-fashioned helicopters, using the first-generation main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the former Soviet Union, there are no anti-aircraft missiles, and several radars are also old-fashioned Soviet products, for the agents, these are not worth paying attention to at all, towed howitzers and mortars can they be considered a threat?" said the division chief of staff.

The U.S. military likes the new and hates the old, which is famous all over the world, a new piece of equipment has just come out a few years, even if it is not updated, it has to be upgraded quickly, claiming that cutting-edge military technology is 20 years ahead of other countries, and the equipment of the Taliban army does not dare to say that it is a hundred years behind, and it is stable to be 50 years behind, and those agents of the CIA have eyes full of tall high-tech things, how can they work this?

Besides, the army is used to fight wars, and it must be able to face war in any environment and under any conditions, the battlefield is complex and changeable, and emergencies emerge one after another.

The army commander of the Northern Alliance next to him had a very rich expression, and he was distressed at first, nearly two thousand people were lost, and these were all the elite of the Northern Alliance! Then I'm worried that if something like this happens, how can he explain it to the leader?

There is also deep confusion and incomprehension, he can't figure out when the Taliban army also has such a strong firepower configuration, and he didn't hear any wind before! No, if the Taliban army had already had these heavy howitzers, anti-tank missiles capable of destroying main battle tanks, and portable anti-aircraft missiles capable of shooting down helicopter gunships, the Northern Alliance would not have been in a stalemate with the Taliban for so many years!

"Your Excellency Deputy Division Commander, I dare to guarantee with my life that these two heavy howitzer battalions are not in the establishment of the Taliban army at all, otherwise such heavy weapons and equipment will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of our intelligence officers."

"I remember a thing, last year the intelligence officer once told me that some foreigners came to Afghanistan to help the Taliban government secretly train a number of modern troops, involving high secrecy, the specific situation has not been confirmed, chief of staff, you have been in charge of intelligence gathering, come and talk to His Excellency the general about this." The forward commander of the Northern Alliance said to his chief of staff.

"Foreigner, what foreigner, from which country?" The chief of staff of the division said with a solemn expression. It seems that the behavior of the al-Qaeda terrorist organization attacking the US mainland is not as simple as it seems, and some countries are using this organization to target the United States and want to use Afghanistan to plunge the United States into a quagmire.

"The Taliban have a strong sense of secrecy, and the intelligence officers of the Northern Alliance are only on the periphery and cannot get more information, but what is certain is that these people are French, Germans and Israelis, all of whom are senior officers, and it is very difficult to contact them in peacetime training troops in a military camp in the mountains near the Iranian border." said the chief of staff of the Northern Alliance.
