Chapter 957: Urban Offensive and Defensive Battles I
In the sky of the city of Kabul, there are always Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and Predator drones, as well as a number of reconnaissance planes going back and forth.
The tense atmosphere of the coming war permeated every street, every alley and every family, and those who were reluctant to leave their homes ran to the mosque to pray in the hope that Allah would keep their families safe.
"The Taliban army has set up a large number of firing points in Kabul, dug tunnels and cave bunkers underground, and planted a lot of anti-tank mines and anti-infantry mines on the streets in order to fight an urban war with us."
"For their purpose, the tactics we adopted this time were to divide Kabul into multiple districts, launch simultaneous attacks from the east, west and north, clear the enemy little by little, and finally compress them to a certain area in the south, and then carry out cluster bombardment."
"The U.S. side has shipped a large number of anti-tank missiles and anti-armor rocket launchers, which are the main weapons of our attack, if it is found that the enemy's hidden position is not conducive to the attack, and the firepower is relatively intensive, in order to prevent heavy casualties, directly launch missiles and rockets to destroy, absolutely not entangled, armed helicopters are then on standby, everyone can call for support."
"Some armored units will also participate in the attack, mainly to block the streets, use tank guns to destroy the opponent's fortifications, and use machine guns as fire cover......," the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces who arrived explained to the army commanders of NATO member states the response plan for this urban war in Kabul.
Meanwhile, in a residential house in an alley in the north of Kabul city, a group of people are sitting in the living room, looking solemnly at the military map on the wall. This is the most standard map of Kabul, showing the city's defenses down to every point of fire and fortifications, as well as underground passages and potholes.
If they could, the coalition forces could even spend $100 million to buy this map, which is definitely not a joke, with this map, the coalition forces will be able to do the targeting, and the sophisticated weapons in their hands will also work, which will reduce casualties by 80 percent.
In order to increase the strength of urban warfare, the guerrilla forces dispatched the strength of an infantry division, and the division commander, deputy division commander, chief of staff, and the main commanders of the brigade-level combat teams were all instructors of the special forces.
"What I just said is the US military battle plan from the headquarters, in order to reduce its own casualties, the other side actually used expensive anti-tank missiles to open the way, you must know that this is an advanced weapon of more than 100,000 US dollars, which is used to deal with the main battle tank!"
"The tactics formulated earlier can no longer keep up with the development of the situation, and they must be changed, our headquarters is not as rich as the Yankees, but it has also equipped us with corresponding weapons, more than 10,000 rockets made in the former Soviet Union, the unit price is only 300 US dollars, and more than 1,000 remote-controlled bombs have been provided.
"The requirements of the General Command are to use sniper rifles and mortars to kill and wound the enemy at a distance, we have no shortage of bullets and shells, and if the enemy is dense, directly fire rockets to blow up buildings, or launch remote-controlled bombs, in short, to resist enemy ......attacks with flexible tactics," said the guerrilla division commander.
Wu Chen, who is on vacation on the island of Four Seasons Landa Giraavaru, although he seems to be surrounded by beautiful women, enjoying the sun, sand, waves and sumptuous seafood feasts every day, and living a very leisurely and chic life, but in fact, he has been paying close attention to the movements of this urban war, which was originally the battle he facilitated.
Khanty, who is stationed in Afghanistan, sends him daily briefings on the war, and as soon as the situation on both sides is summed up, he knows that the old city of Kabul will inevitably be reduced to a pile of rubble. This style of play is really unprecedented, and on the one hand, an anti-tank missile is used as a bazooka, and on the other hand, a bazooka is used as a grenade, both of which are very destructive weapons, and there is no doubt about the outcome.
"There is no one in the war, we are better, those weapons and equipment in the former Soviet Union are half sold and half given away, and the low price is cheaper than the cabbage on the market, but a Javelin anti-tank missile is 16700000 US dollars, and the cheapest Tao-type anti-tank missile is 60,000 US dollars, which is really luxurious."
"But in this way, the old city of Kabul is already doomed to destruction, and by the time the US military takes down there, the new government of the Northern Alliance will not even have an office space, and they will not be allowed to live in the new city, so will they have to work in tents?" Marcus said with a smile.
"If the old city is not destroyed in the war, how can we make money from the subsequent infrastructure work? According to the current relationship between the mercenary corps and the U.S. government, especially with the U.S. Afghan garrison, there is no doubt about the two projects of bridges and roads, and most of the projects such as natural gas, electricity, water supply, telecommunications and television stations have to be done by us, and those local companies dare not interfere. ”
"Unless it's a U.S. military base building, as for the share of the new government construction market, we don't want to get involved, eating alone will cause public anger, although I have a good appetite to eat, and I'm not afraid of these people tossing, but the strong dragon does not suppress the snake, and I always have to take care of the emotions of local enterprises, although I doubt their technical ability."
"In fact, now you can start to prepare relevant raw materials, in addition to roads and building materials, you also have to order a large number of gas pipelines, water pipelines, power cables, telecommunications fiber optic cables, etc., such a large project, the number required is very amazing, those people in the Northern Alliance are ugly and shameless, but the mercenary corps still has to ask for face, and can't let others find too much fault, so we must check it well when purchasing, and when this urban war is over, we will begin to negotiate cooperation with the United States." Wu Chen said.
These words may sound a bit cruel, the urban war has just begun, Wu Chen has already considered the interests of post-war reconstruction, but this is the reality, what he is now feeding is not a large family, but more than two million troops of mercenaries and defense forces, plus family members, it will increase the number by at least five times!
He also has to take care of the more than 20 million people in the Golden Triangle Federation, and the hundreds of millions of people in more than a dozen member countries of the Golden Triangle Federation International Cooperation Organization are also responsible for supporting infrastructure construction, economic construction, education and medical care, and even the most ordinary food and daily necessities. Although Wu Chen's assets are more than the thirty richest people in the world combined, the financial aspect is still very difficult, and he can't afford to spend it slowly, so he doesn't dare to slack off for a day.
