Chapter 1709: A Good Start

Judging from the map, the section from Kushka on the border to the Alkodo Pass in western Afghanistan is only 60 kilometers, but it took a week for Yang Jiuxiao's corps to break through this area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

During this period, the Ye Cheng Corps on the Eastern Front swept through the plains of northern Afghanistan, and after occupying various strategic points, the infantry directly under the Corps began to sweep the mountainous and hilly areas, clear some strongholds established by the Soviet army one after another, and eradicate banditry.

In addition to deliberately strengthening the strength of leading cadres, a large number of grassroots workers proficient in Persian and Muslim customs from southern Yunnan and southern Central Asia have also been transferred to Afghanistan and organized into 20 brigades, basically liberating one place and consolidating another.

Afghanistan is a vast and sparsely populated country, with nomadic life, and even the plains are not well developed, and there are lush pastures everywhere. The people live mainly in tribal groups, and a small number of cities are the link between the tribes, and usually the herders exchange livestock products for some daily necessities such as salt, cloth, grain, and tea.

After the invasion of the Soviet army, the tribes were broken up and the Soviets were established, and the leaders and herdsmen whose families were relatively wealthy were slaughtered, and their wealth included a large number of livestock, most of which were distributed evenly after returning to the public, so that scattered tents were formed on the steppe.

The Anjiajun's response was to establish military management committees in the cities and turn fertile land close to water sources into agricultural areas, while in the higher hills and mountainous areas, pastures were divided equally among households and distributed to herders. In order to change the backward grazing method of living on grass and freezing to death in large numbers as soon as the winter comes, the new government promised to build free houses for farmers and herdsmen, build independent houses, livestock sheds that can effectively withstand the severe cold, green and water storage cellars for fodder, build biogas digesters, and promote wind power generation, so as to completely get rid of ignorance and backwardness. As for the children, they concentrate on studying in the city, and the school sends a school bus to pick them up every week, completely relieving their worries.

The advantage of this is that the tribal ties between the herdsmen are completely broken, and the production mode of a single family makes the herdsmen can only revolve around the family, which greatly reduces the probability of colluding with each other to plan a rebellion.

The Li Jinlong section of the middle road, along with the river and canyon plank road, slowly advanced from east to west. A large number of the Corps' engineers have been used to build bridges and pave roads, and the troops have captured Faizabad, Maimana, Langar and other places, and smoothly entered the Pingba area of the plateau in the center.

The Soviet army did not effectively deploy troops on this line, so Li Jinlong's corps was more of a struggle against the harsh climate and environment, but fortunately, there was a high-altitude radar to indicate the direction, coupled with the troops' convenient radio communication system, but there were no major casualties.

The Yang Jiuxiao Corps was more difficult, fighting fiercely all the way, and the Soviet army was obviously aware of the shortcut from Kushka to Hetra, and arranged a heavy defense, and fierce battles could occur on almost every mountain peak and every pass. The Anjia Air Force was almost concentrated on this line, and every day it carried out indiscriminate bombardment of Soviet positions.

The weapons of the two sides were obviously not of the same grade, and in addition, after the battle was fought, there were serious problems in the supply of ammunition to the Soviet army, and the speed of Yang Jiuxiao's corps' assault was markedly accelerated; at 1 p.m. on 15 November, the corps forward finally broke through the Alcodo Pass and broke into the plateau area in the west at an altitude of more than 800 meters.

In the plains, where there was no advantageous terrain to take advantage of, the resistance of the Soviet troops was noticeably weakened.

On the morning of the 16th, Liu Chuankui's 47th Division captured the town of Eibak, and the Soviet troops east of Hetra quickly withdrew westward, fearing that the road to Persia would be cut off. It was not until the 17th that Li Jun's 46th Division approached the city of Hertra and found that the largest city in western Afghanistan had become an empty city.

Not only Hetra, but now there are not many people in sight in the entire Hari River valley.

As mentioned earlier, Afghanistan at this time was still in a nomadic society, so the cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys and camels raised by the people became the most important food and strategic materials.

Yang Jiuxiao had already greeted the troops below, and the troops chased to the boundary monument, and they were absolutely not allowed to cross the border. Therefore, after Cheng Junhua commanded the four divisions of the 18th Army to arrive at the town of Kokhsan, he immediately spread out along the border line, and in a week, he tightened the fence on the border line from Zulefikar in the north to Lake Namaksar in the south.

Because at this time, it had fallen heavily in the alpine area, the wind in the mountain pass area was as high as *** or above, and the temperature suddenly dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero, which was not conducive to the dispatch of the army, Yan Zilin's 16th Group Army and Yu Zeqing's 17th Group Army had to each send a division to block the Janawar Pass in the east, and the rest of the troops followed the flat plateau area all the way to the south, killing Kushk and Sabzawar City on the banks of the Fara River before stopping, and slowly began to consolidate the occupied area and deploy defensive tasks.

......

Tashkent, Presidential Palace.

It was originally the residence of the Turkestan Governor's Office during the Imperial Russian period, became the office of the Turkestan Autonomous Republic after the October Revolution, and has been the seat of the highest party and government organs since the establishment of the Uzbek Soviet Republic.

Tashkent has a temperate continental climate, mild winters, hot summers, scarce precipitation and abundant sunshine, and is known as the "Sun City".

Although the rest of Central Asia is already in the autumn wind, the fallen leaves are sluggish, and Siberia has even ushered in the first heavy snow after the winter, but in Tashkent, the taste of severe cold has not yet been felt, and the garden of the Chairman's Palace is still a scene full of flowers.

An Yi leaned on the edge of the flower-filled flower bed, holding an accordion in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Diana, who was dancing to the music.

I have to say that girls in this era are indeed precocious, at least mentally, far more mature than later generations. Diana was trained in etiquette from an early age, and during her studies in France, she was exposed to a lot of Western music and dance, and after returning to Afghanistan, she was exposed to traditional Arab culture.

At this moment, An Yi was playing an unfamiliar Arabic-style music taught by Diana, while Diana was wearing a cropped gauze dress, showing a delicate and bulging beautiful figure. Her face was half-veiled, revealing a pair of watery eyes.

In the sound of exotic music, Diana's body writhed like a spirit snake, the small waist that was held in a small way, the chest that protruded like a strange peak, the constantly trembling buttocks, and the charming glimpse made An Yi's mouth dry and his desire was blazing.

After the dance, the naked parts of Diana's body were all covered with beads of sweat.

An Yi put down the accordion, picked up the tea, strode to Diana's side, and asked pityingly, "Are you tired?" Come, drink some water! ”

Diana's breath was short, her breath was like an orchid, and she lifted her veil with a myriad of demeanors, revealing a pretty face with a flowery face and a moon-like face. She nodded gratefully to An Yi, took the tea and took a sip, and then said:

"It's been a long time since I've had such a good time dancing! Actually, I learned this dance shortly after I returned to Afghanistan, but my brother said......"

Mention Zahir. Shah, Diana's face darkened: "My brother said that as a princess, she should be dignified and wise, and her manners should be elegant, and these singing and dancing are all lowly jobs that only inferior people can engage in, and I should forget about them all." I was worried about you......"

An Yi shook his head, interrupted Diana's words, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat beads on her face for her, and said lovingly:

"How so? Music and dance are all about cultivating people's sentiments, I love watching you dance, seeing your energetic dance, I feel that my mentality is at least ten years younger. Diana, are you still thinking about your brother? ”

Diana's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she raised her head to look at An Yi:

"Yes, I miss my brother, and I have four nephews and nieces, and they are still so young, they ...... The Soviets are really hateful, this brother Qiu Xiaoyi must help me get revenge! ”

An Yi looked at Diana's eyes and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, since I have intervened in this matter, I will never allow the bad guys to go unpunished." Let me tell you the good news, the northern part of Afghanistan is now basically under our control, and the Soviet troops in the west have also been expelled from the border, and if it were not for the heavy snow on the high mountains leading to the east and south, my army would have been forced to Kabul and Kandahar! ”

Diana said gratefully: "It's all up to Brother Xiao Yi to strategize...... The winter in Afghanistan is indeed very cold, and the temperature in the mountainous areas can sometimes drop to minus 50 degrees, which is an extremely cold zone. In Afghanistan, the dry season is from May to September, and the rainy season is from October to April of the following year, the rainy season does not mean rain, most of the time it is snow, and every year the heavy snow will condense into a thick layer of ice on the mountains, and when the next spring, the ice and snow begin to melt, bringing abundant moisture to the plains and valleys around the mountains. It's a source of nourishment for the earth, so Afghans don't hate snow too much. ”

Looking at Diana's pitiful and beautiful face, An Yi couldn't help it, and kissed her on the forehead, a kind of pleasure burst out from the depths of her soul, covering every pore of her body, so comfortable that he almost wanted to say something, and said after a while: "The troops are basically unable to move now, and even the flat plateau in the west has begun to snow." I'm worried about Kabul's prosperity before I can run away, but there's nothing I can do. In the entire central mountain area, the wind is blowing strongly, and we already have a reconnaissance plane wrecked in a snowstorm......"

Diana's head snuggled up to An Yi's chest: "Brother Xiao Yi, it's nothing!" I know it's not easy for you either, hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, and the supply of food, grass and ammunition is a big problem. Especially in the extreme cold of Afghanistan, the troops must be replenished with a large amount of food and cold materials, especially those who work on the plateau of thousands of meters, there will be certain problems in breathing, and all aspects of the situation must be taken into account. ”

An Yi hugged Diana's small waist, gently drew circles on her small navel with his hand, sniffed her faint *** body fragrance between his noses, tried to suppress the desire in his heart, and said:

"Thank you for your understanding, Cortana. It is indeed difficult to replenish the troops, and we are now considering the construction of a railway to the western part of Afghanistan, and the survey unit of the engineering corps has already moved in to actually survey the site. It is only 80 kilometres from Kushka to Hitra, and there are readily available rivers and roads.

"If the Soviets were able to build a railway from Mare to Kushka with similar terrain, why can't we? If the project is confirmed, our sappers will immediately drive over, so that by the turn of spring and summer next year, the railway will be completed, and the movement of troops and the supply of materials will be much easier! In the future, all railways in Afghanistan will be built, and people's travel will not become a problem, and Afghanistan's development will surely move towards an unprecedented high-speed channel! ”

Diana raised her head and looked at An Yi with adoring eyes: "Brother Xiao Yi, it's up to you to decide...... Cortana feels so happy now, with a good husband who helps me with everything......"

An Yi's heart was blazing, and he couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Diana, and kissed him deeply.
