Chapter 927: The Central American Storm
"Invest more, and you must bring Nicaragua to its knees. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"This is the first thing Reagan did after returning home, the United States cannot bear to have a second Cuba under its nose, attitude is important, even if it is destroyed, it must achieve its goal.
This time, the Nicaraguan government army, the leader of the Vietnamese military advisory group, began to attack the jungle area in northern Nicaragua, and the opponent was the US-backed Nicaraguan Democratic Forces of Nicaragua armed forces, of course, all the rebels in Nicaragua were supported by the United States, as long as they opposed the pro-Soviet government.
The war began in May, and the Vietnamese, who were also very familiar with jungle warfare, took over the command of the Nicaraguan government forces, with the support of the Soviet Union, and in the words of the KGB chief in Latin America, "restraint only worsened the situation, and the former dictatorship caused the deaths of tens of thousands of ordinary people in half a year." In the case of the revolutionary armed forces that we support, we have to worry about the so-called reputation, which is irresponsible for national security. ”
"Forests are alive, and in jungle warfare, ears are more important than glasses." The Vietnamese military adviser taught that in the eyes of the Vietnamese, the Nicaraguan war is like a law and order war that exists at any time, the intensity is not great but will never stop, and the tactical jungle warfare affects the play of many high-tech weapons, and sometimes the ears are more important than the eyes in the jungle, and your energy in the jungle will be consumed by everything around you.
In jungle warfare, short weapons and automatic weapons are the mainstay. A small number of them are equipped with long weapons. The denser the formation, the safer it may be, and in any case, it is important to communicate with the group during the battle. Identification between friend and foe is also important. Another point is that life security during jungle warfare is also very important, and food safety is essential for the security of the body.
The biggest change that the Vietnamese brought to the government army was the organization of the army. This has played a huge role in the clearance that has been prepared. 20,000 Nicaraguan government troops, under the command of the Vietnamese, entered the northern jungle to clear the forces of the Nicaraguan Democratic Forces (FDD).
If the Soviet Union had sent its own country's advisers as commanders, it might not have played as much of a role as the Vietnamese, after all, the Soviet Union was a cold zone country and did not have such a combat environment at all. On the contrary, Vietnam and Nicaragua are both tropical countries, and the many combat experiences of Vietnamese soldiers are also useful here.
For the Nicaraguan government army, the greatest difficulty is not on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield. For example, the reason why the rebel forces in northern Nicaragua have not been cleaned up several times is because the northern neighbor is the pro-American Garcia military junta. The Garcia junta cooperated with the U.S. strategy to contain the rebels in Nicaragua, which was the reason why the political situation in Nicaragua could not be stable.
By the time the Garcia junta was formed, there had been more than 130 coups in the more than 150 years since Honduras' independence, and the news was immediately sent to the Lubyanka by the local KGB intelligence officers, and then to the Kremlin to the newly returned General Secretary Serov
"So?" Serov was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Then inform Cuba that regarding the assessment of the revolutionary situation in Honduras, the Soviet side thinks that it is necessary to correct who the general secretary of the Communist Party of Honduras is." ”
"Is it Agabido? Comrade Robledo! Ligachev, who was on the side, immediately opened his mouth to add that he actually knew better than Serov about the Communist Parties around the world, who took over Suslov.
"Agabido? O General Secretary Robledo! Serov said disapprerovantly, "The flame of revolution is burning, and it is not something that some countries can stop if they want to!" "This shows that the Soviet Union has decided to go under the knife against Honduras.
The medium used was Cuba, the leader of the armed revolution in Latin America. Although Cuba is a small country, it is far more enthusiastic about exporting revolution than the Soviet Union, otherwise it would not have the nickname of the smallest hegemonic country. The Cuban Expeditionary Force's military operation across the Atlantic to aid Angola has not ended to this day.
Cuba is a supporter of many communist parties in Latin America, and its influence is huge, especially in Central America, where almost half of the Communist Party cadres have studied in Cuba. The main reason why this force could be used by the Soviet Union was that Cuba had a very special and important position in the Soviet camp.
The opinion of the Soviet Union was quickly sent to Havana, and for support for the revolutionary cause in Latin America, the Soviet Union had long believed in a policy of not taking the initiative to provoke trouble, and it was good to have pro-Soviet countries appear, and it was nothing if they did not. It's just that there have been too many moves in Chile, and even Nicaragua, which is now fighting a civil war, has the main credit for Cuba. It was only when Cuba had results that the USSR came over to add icing on the cake.
The Castro brothers immediately called Serov back to ask if it was time to push the revolution, and Moscow's call back was simple: in the small dictatorships of Central America, the war of liberation was not an issue that could not be considered. However, it is not yet appropriate to include the question of Barnabas.
The Strait of Malacca is half half of the Soviet Union, and the Suez Canal is in the hands of the Soviet Union. The Banaste Canal was completely untouched by the Soviet Union, and in addition to the reasons why the Soviet Union could not reach it, the reaction of the United States was also a major factor.
"The global game is like a game of Go, and we can't just make the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua suffer, and if Reagan has to do this, we will force the United States to spit out more benefits than they gain." Serov said this in a call back.
The Cold War was not just a stage for the two camps, many third world countries were also using this environment to seek their own interests, and the Cold War also gave these small countries opportunities. For example, General Noriega, the ruler of Barnabas.
This Panamanian ruler has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, and is technically a member of parliament in the camp of the enemies of the Soviet Union. Like the current rulers of Ethiopia, he was trained in the United States. He also participated in the Far Friends class of Scam Island and was a classmate of Gaddafi, but this person was also dissatisfied with the United States' control of the Panama Canal and wanted to take back the canal. There is no difference with Egypt recovering the Suez Canal, which was controlled by Britain and France, except that the opponents are different.
Egypt faced Britain and France, which were already in decline, and Barnabas faced the United States, which was in the ascendant. Panama is also far from Egypt's national strength, and the Soviet Union, the only one that can compete with the United States, is too far away from Central America.
But even so, the Cold War confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States still gave Noriega such an opportunity to reclaim the Panama Canal, and the peak of the Soviet Union's global offensive was also the year of the establishment of the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua. Panama seemed to see hope, and Noriega also came to the fore at that time. The Carter administration of the United States was forced to sign a treaty with the Panamanian government, agreeing to gradually return the canal to Panama and withdraw its troops from Panama.
Serov concluded that Reagan would not recognize the treaty, that Noriega had investigated many pro-Soviet partisans and had betrayed them to the CIA, but that the Soviets would find a way to support Noriega if he went down the anti-American path.
Because of the Nicaraguan clearance operation, the media in the United States once again called for support for the Nicaraguan freedom fighters, and the Nicaraguan civil war once again became the focus of the American people. This time, the focus is on the Vietnamese military advisory group, which commands the Nicaraguan government army.
The Vietnam War was a lingering shadow in the hearts of Americans, and that war was a defeat in every way, because South Vietnam was gone, and the United States could not even comfort it as a draw. The defeat in the war dealt an unprecedented blow to the United States, and the ensuing global offensive of the Soviet Union almost crushed America's self-confidence.
The restoration of American self-confidence was only restored after Reagan took office, and the news of the appearance of the Vietnamese military advisory group in Nicaragua. For different supporters and different effects, some people remembered the defeat in the Vietnam War, and others wanted revenge, the United States under Reagan, the latter was the majority.
In the midst of a hail of retaliatory rhetoric, Reagan took advantage of the situation to be even more bold in supporting the Nicaraguan Democratic League. After a month of war, the Nicaraguan government army has traveled almost every part of the northern jungle, and the battle that may break out at any time and the boring combat life are still secondary, after all, the government army has an overwhelming manpower advantage, but it is not always a way to do it for a long time.
"Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen, if it weren't for the donations and materials donated by dozens of fraternal countries, Nicaragua would have been unable to support it by now." It was Cuban advisers who spoke, and the Cubans were responsible for communicating with Vietnam's military advisers. It is indeed unrealistic for the Vietnamese to find so many soldiers who know Spanish.
"The Soviets who came to our country once said that people in tropical countries do not die of hunger." Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen smiled and felt the rainforest of Nicaragua, "In terms of natural conditions, the tropical climate can indeed help us solve some of the problems. ”
At this moment, a rapid burst of gunfire rang out, alerting the two people in conversation at the same time, and the Vietnamese military adviser immediately issued an order to fight, which was conveyed by the Cubans, and an encounter broke out in the depths of the jungle.
Half an hour later, the jungle battle ended, three government soldiers were killed, seven rebels were killed, and both of them walked to the place where the battle broke out, and both shook their heads secretly, not knowing how long this encounter would last, but always thinking of a solution, "Put away the bodies of our fighters, and the enemy will be placed here." The Cuban gave the order instead of the military adviser.
At the same time, communication between Havana and Moscow was nearing its end, and Moscow, having fully listened to Cuba, allowed a revolutionary attempt at liberation actions, and an undercurrent began to converge from Central America.
It's the hottest season of the year, and the sound of gunfire wakes everyone up in the middle of the night, so they hide in their homes with the tension in their hearts.
