Chapter 149: Red Tyrant

(3rd Update)

Remnants of Chechen militants were still active in the mountainous region between Georgia and Chechnya, but after the massacre in Grozny, the separatists were greatly attacked by the Soviet army. And even more tragic is that the border of Georgia, which has not yet been divided, is now manned by large Soviet troops, vigilant against this group.

Yanayev intends to completely eradicate the cancer of Chechnya, because Georgia is still a member country, so Yanayev has adopted a policy of stationing troops to encircle and intercept him. The Soviets said that they would play guerrilla warfare with us, and that our reconnaissance troops could call fighter planes for air strikes after discovering you, but you could only be beaten.

After suffering the losses of the guerrilla war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union even used the Shilka River as a flat-fire machine gun against militants hiding between the mountains. Thinking about the feeling of those large-caliber machine guns hitting you makes people goosebumps.

The Chechen armed forces, which had been hiding in Tibet all day long, became smaller and smaller in scale under heavy suppression, and from more than 1,000 people at the beginning, they were eventually reduced to only 4 or 500 rebels, losing their financial and weapon support, and the road of struggle of the Chechen armed forces seemed to be getting narrower and narrower, and internal contradictions began to show themselves in the face of reality.

With a crowbar, Khattab pried open a wooden box that was lying on the ground. Inside, there were several Kalashnikov rifles wrapped in oiled paper, and a wooden box with yellow-orange-orange bullets was stored. These are all arms that the West has just supported, which has alleviated the situation that the Chechen armed forces have been running out of ammunition and food for a period of time.

"Thanks to Allah, our battle is not over." Khattab cautiously picked up his rifle. The smell of the oiled paper on it has not yet dissipated. He gently tugged on the bolt of his Kalashnikov rifle. The crisp sound of steel crashing is a sight to behold. Looking at the immature AKS74U in his hand, which was about to wear out, Khattab decisively dropped the old gun and picked up a new weapon.

"How? Khattab, this is a weapon that was obtained after many blockades and encirclements, and with them, we are not afraid of the guerrilla tactics of the Soviet army during this time. Basayev walked with a limp on crutches, and the last air raid blew his left foot below the calf into a bloody mass. Fortunately, he amputated his leg at some time to save Basayev's life.

"Huh. The weapon is nothing more than an embellishment, and the bullets fired from our hands are of the same caliber as those fired from the hands of the Soviets, the difference is in the person holding the weapon. Khattab put the rifles back in the box and told his subordinates to store them. The rugged roads in the mountainous areas of the Chechen border make it difficult for ordinary vehicles to travel in this place, and only local donkeys are an important means of transportation for weapons and supplies.

"How's Maskhadov? Or are you unwilling to cooperate with us as before? Khattab picked up a weed, wrung off the root, and took it in his mouth to pass the time. In the days when there were no cigarettes, he always relied on this way to relieve his craving.

Basayev sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said. "What's the matter, he still doesn't want to cooperate with us. And his armed forces are scattered all over Chechnya. It is only through his influence that those people can be brought together. ”

When Maskhadov and some people came to Basayev's side to take refuge, the two were friendly and close, but over time the two sides diverged their opinions. Maskhadov insisted on waging a guerrilla war against the Soviet army in Chechnya, in an attempt to drag the Soviet army down in this way, after all, this is how the imperial graveyards in Afghanistan treated the Soviet army. It's just that Basayev, for his part, intends to take a more extreme approach, using bomb attacks and terrorist attacks on the big cities of the Soviet Union in an attempt to get the other side to its knees.

It was for this reason that Maskhadov began to distance himself from Basayev, and even opposed the other side in some important actions, and stumbled at every turn. Unable to bear it any longer, Basayev bloodied Maskhadov's Guards after a coup d'Γ©tat, imprisoning him in an attempt to bring him to his knees.

"It's a pity that Maskhadov has no children and relatives, otherwise we could have blackmailed him through this. But it doesn't matter now, with this batch of weapons, our plans can be put into action. Khattab always spoke of some cruel and bloody conspiracy with an understatement on his face.

Last month, Chechnya attempted to bring explosives mixed with sugar into Moscow was somehow intercepted by KGB agents. In retaliation for the most terrible part of the Soviet Union, all the Chechens who were involved in the dynamite-sugar mixture, whether they had anything to do with the terrorists or not, were kidnapped by agents, and a few days later, the charred bodies of the terrorists were hung from a tree in turn to warn the Chechen rebels, which is the consequence of daring to attack Moscow.

To suppress the extremists in Chechnya, Yanayev told Kryuchkov the easiest way, you kill one of me, I kill your whole family. Until the last possible extremist is eliminated, then there will be no more so-called terrorist attacks.

Nothing is impossible in the face of the iron fist of communist autocracy.

"This time the attack was carried out separately, and we planned to attack the public places of the big cities of the Soviet Union on the day of the victory in the anti-fascist war, as well as to use bombs to attack the Sufi Kadyrov father and son, so that the society was so panicked that they were forced to sit down and negotiate with us under pressure." Khattab smiled grimly.

"In the case of cities, we need to pick one of the most unexpected places in the Soviet Union." Khattab set his sights on North Ossetia, where the political situation was not stable and the Soviet Union could not devote some of its energy to managing it. So Khattab thinks it's a very easy thing to make a big news story in North Ossetia.

But the assassination of Kadyrov and his son is much more difficult than the previous one, and it is difficult to know the exact route of these two men unless they buy the people around Kadyrov and his son. Of course, the best way to assassinate them is to use roadside bombing.

"I'll leave the route of Kadyrov's father and son to me, and he really has my informants among his henchmen, so you just have to prepare explosives, Khattab." Basayev smiled mysteriously, "I promise, the Kadyrov father and son will never live, everything will be arranged seamlessly." ”

Khattab nodded and said, "I hope the end result is what you and I want, Basayev." ”

After the discussion, Khattab went to visit Maskhadov in the cell, saying that the cell was actually just a makeshift shed, but it was closely guarded by dozens of guards around the shed. Maskhadov looked through the window, looked at Khattab with an indifferent face, and said coldly, "What's wrong?" I've become a prisoner, do you still feel uneasy? ”

Khattab shook his head, "Peace of mind, unless you can keep those in your hands firmly in my hands." ”

"Phew, dream." Maskhadov took a sip and looked at the other party with a very disdainful expression, "What's wrong?" You can't accomplish great things without my soldiers? I tell you, Khattab, I have no objection to you going to die by yourself, but if you want my people to die with you, I will definitely not agree! ”

"What's wrong? It's just a few people who died. Are you nervous? "In another month, there will be an extraordinary hostage-taking incident in the Soviet Union, and then our Prime Minister Dudayev and others will be released and return to Chechnya to fight together." ”

"What a stupid idea you have. Do you really think that killing a few civilians will bring the Soviet government to its knees? Maskhadov shuddered when he remembered the "atrocities" committed by the Soviet troops in Grozny. It was a massacre against Chechnya, against the Wahhabis who had laid down their arms, and those who had laid down their arms were doused with gasoline and burned alive, and some soldiers shot the captives who surrendered because the commissars had given them orders not to leave them alone.

Later, the Soviet Union reported that the 3,000 rebels entrenched in Grozny were completely annihilated, which was a real annihilation, from the body to the mind, from the bullets to the tracks, erasing the will of the Chechens to resist.

Maskhadov would wake up from the nightmare of the Holocaust every time, and he would always dream of the cold, emotionless face of the Soviet leader, faithfully giving orders for the massacre of Chechen rebels. And the orders that were written were only one sentence, crushing their will to resist.

Just as Khattab was about to get up to leave, there was a faint warning voice from Maskhadov behind him, not loud, but like a thin needle piercing deep into his heart.

"You're playing with fire, and you're going to regret it, Khattab. The tyrant who annoyed the Kremlin would leave us all dead without a place to bury. Maskhadov trembled, he had always thought that the brutality and iron blood of the iron man Stalin were just something that later generations added fuel to the vinegar, but when Maskhadov really saw Yanayev's methods, he knew that the leader of the Soviet Union was really a ruler with a murderous character.

The most terrible thing is that such a ruler has a large number of followers, and they worship this man who is regarded as a national symbol fanatically, just as they worship Stalin in the past.

Maskhadov looked in the direction of Khattab and muttered to himself, "Khattab, you are nothing but a murderous bandit, and which one of Moscow is the real red tyrant." (To be continued.) )
