Chapter 1703 is angry

Sheng Shicai stood on the high post behind the position, holding a telescope, carefully observing the situation in the Maidan City opposite. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since entering Afghanistan, he has been invincible and invincible, and Shengshi has enough confidence to quickly take Kabul. However, he never expected that this Maidan City would be helpless.

The battle has been fought so far, although Sheng Shicai still has cannon fodder, but the ammunition supply is seriously insufficient.

Afghanistan is a country without any industry, and the supply of weapons and ammunition can only be purchased from outside. Sheng Shicai has no shortage of money, as a nomadic people, for hundreds of years, the tribal leaders of Afghanistan have been rich one by one, from India, Persia, Central Asia, I don't know how much gold, silver and jewelry have been robbed, although the dynasty has been replaced, but the tribe still continues, and now it is good, so that Sheng Shicai is in a pot. From the north to the west, and then from the west to the east, the wealth plundered by Sheng Shicai's men is no longer valuable, conservatively estimated at more than 10 million US dollars, but the current situation is that there is money but no place to spend it.

Don't think about the Anjia army in the north, most of the troops mastered by Sheng Shicai are Soviet troops, which were originally driven out of Central Asia, and they have a deep hatred for each other, and there is no other way to meet but to fight; It is impossible for the British, the Soviet army is attacking Afghanistan and Persia as a strategic buffer zone for Britain at this time, and if they don't send troops to strangle them, even if they burn high incense, let alone anything else?

As for the Americans, I'm sorry, but there is not even a liaison office around Afghanistan, except for some geological exploration teams in the Persian Gulf looking for oil. There are also the Germans, the Japanese, and the Italians, who are probably willing to join forces with Sheng Shicai and make a mess of the situation in West Asia, but the question is how to get ammunition to India and Afghanistan in the heart of Persia?

Therefore, it seems that there are many people in the Sheng Shicai Department, but in fact it is a paper tiger, which can only be used to scare people.

By now, the artillery captured in northern and western Afghanistan is running out of shells, and the light weapons are all sorted, even centuries-old antique arquebuses, flintlock muskets, Delvin front-loading rifles, and Dryser firing pin rear-loading guns are used, and the ammunition supply of the troops is almost unsustainable.

However, the paper tiger really worked, and under the threat of an envoy sent by the Maidan city defender, Samidak Shah Shengshicai, he agreed to surrender, but put forward various conditions. Sheng Shicai seems to think that as long as he can take Kabul and dominate one side, what does it matter if he supports a puppet?

As for money, what is not lacking in the current prosperous era is money, as long as Afghanistan can be pacified quickly, it will be able to contact the outside world in the name of the government, not to mention anything else, just the Soviets will be tempted, and when the guns and ammunition are all purchased, there will be a foundation for survival!

If Samidak Shah's request is too much, it's a big deal to cross the river and tear down the bridge, Sheng Shicai seems that this kind of thing is boring, and I haven't seen anyone who swore an oath and didn't obey it and was really cursed.

"Jin Yong, look, the Afghan army has withdrawn!"

Chief of Staff Wang Hongzao pointed to the steady stream of Afghan troops withdrawn from the front positions and said excitedly.

Wang Hongzao is Sheng Shicai's brother-in-law, and his wife Qiu Shuying is the sister of Sheng Shicai's wife Qiu Shufang.

"The Afghan troops on the high ground on both sides have also moved, the machine gun positions on the head of the city are gone, and even the black, red and green tricolor military flags have been lowered, it seems that the other side is really retreating!"

Sheng Shicai's hand holding the telescope trembled slightly, and as soon as his mind turned, he immediately ordered the troops to attack on all fronts.

According to the agreement, Samidak Shah would abandon the city of Meydan and return to Kabul with his troops in the name of the fall of Karbagh and the threat of the Soviet army to Kabul.

Originally, according to the plan, the attack should be launched half an hour after the other party withdrew from the city, but Sheng Shicai couldn't take care of it so much at the moment, and now the ammunition was urgent, if the other party suddenly repented, the only good opportunity to thwart the enemy would be lost.

"Ulla—"

Overwhelming shouts of killing rang out, and a large number of Soviet soldiers wrapped themselves in Afghans and rushed towards the trenches in front. After entering Afghanistan, the huge cavalry corps, which was fully replenished, brandished their sabers, rushed towards the gates of the city of Maidan, like an arrow off the string.

The trench, which was about more than ten meters wide, had been filled by countless corpses in the previous continuous attacks, but the Afghan army fought very tenaciously and has been holding on to the three trenches outside the city, coupled with the fire points arranged on the city wall and the mountains on both sides, forming a cross-strike fire. Sheng Shicai's artillery was limited, unable to suppress the opponent's firepower, and all previous assaults were in vain.

But now the other party took the initiative to give up the strong position, which just gave Sheng Shicai the opportunity to charge.

Amid earth-shattering shouts of slaughter, the cavalry took the lead in crossing three trenches and storming the gates of the city of Maidan, and soon the orderly retreat of the Afghan army turned into a rout. Leaving a strong defensive position and fighting a field battle with a well-trained Soviet army is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

The Soviet army was like a bamboo, and under the powerful impact of the cavalry, they chased the ass of the fleeing Afghan army all the way. Frightened, many Afghan soldiers threw away their weapons and fled into the nearby mountains.

The reason why the Afghan army in later generations was so brave and tenacious was caused by many factors, one of which was the training of the Soviet Union, and the Afghan government was pro-Soviet after World War II, so the Soviet Union spared no effort to support and train and arm the Afghan army in full accordance with the requirements of the Soviet army; Second, after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in the late 70s, in order to contain the Soviet army in West Asia, the United States, Britain, France, and other countries sent special instructors to conduct special training, in an attempt to inflict a huge blow on the Soviet army and delay the course of the war. Third, a large number of Pakistani soldiers who have been trained by the Chinese People's Liberation Army have left the army and entered Afghanistan, teaching the Afghans the essence of guerrilla warfare and sports warfare in the squadron. It was precisely because of learning the strengths of each family that the Afghan militants who later gave the Americans a headache were born.

However, in the thirties, Afghanistan was still at the end of its nomadic society, with little contact with the outside world, and although it fought bravely and tenaciously, how could it be an elite opponent of the Soviet army with regular military training? So as soon as the troops collapsed, everything was over.

The deserters fled in all directions, including cavalry and some infantry, fleeing along the road to Kabul, and the rout was twenty kilometers south of Kabul, and collided head-on with the reinforcements of the city of Meydan led by the king of Afghanistan.

Zahir Shah sat in a spacious and luxurious four-wheeled carriage, snuggled up with his wife Umara, and said beautiful love words, Ummara blushed and hugged her husband's waist tightly, and the two of them regarded this expedition as an outing, which seemed extremely relaxed. The children and the nanny sat in the back carriage, and the long convoy carried some serving court ladies and a large number of royal paraphernalia, and the back convoy was loaded with food and ammunition to supplement the front line.

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves roared, and then the carriage shook violently, and there was a noisy shouting and noise outside, and Zahir Shah unhappily opened the curtains, only to see a chaotic cavalry squeezing through the carriage convoy and fleeing desperately towards the north.

"What's going on?"

Zahir Shah got out of the carriage and jumped to the ground, only to see the coachmen and guards who were driving the horse team forward with nervous expressions, and the generals with the troops tried to stop the cavalry, but how could they stop them in a hurry? Soon there was a fierce sound of gunfire from behind.

The young king didn't know what to do for a while, when the chief guard ran over and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it may be that a certain city in front of you has been lost, look at the direction, these cavalry have escaped either from Barakibarak or from the city of Maidan, and I seem to have seen the military flag of His Highness Samidak just now."

Zahir Shah's face turned red: "Military flag!?" What about Samidaq? Why didn't you see others? ”

The chief of the guard said cautiously: "It seems that he was the one in front of him who fled on his horse just now, and after he saw His Majesty's carriage, he fled quickly."

Zahir Shah saw that the deserters were still endless, but as the cavalry passed, and the infantry were now falling, he immediately ordered: "Put up my banner, we will reorganize the army, build a defensive line on the spot, and resist the Soviets!" Otherwise, before we could get back to Kabul, the troops would have collapsed"

"But—"

The chief of the guard thought that it was inappropriate, but still suggested: "Your Majesty, we should retreat now, the enemy's pursuers should be nearby, it is too late!" ”

"It's-"

The king hesitated, and the gunfire came nearer and closer, and in the "boom", the whole earth was like an earthquake, and the terrible sound of a landslide and tsunami sounded.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, it's the cavalry of the Soviets!"

The chief of the guard's face changed, and hurriedly called for someone, desperately stuffing Zahir Shah back into the carriage, and wanted to turn the horse's head and prepare to escape.

However, at the moment, the whole horse team is crowded on the road, how easy is it to turn?

If the herd of horses surging like a flood appeared on the horizon in front, the soldiers of the three regiments led by Zahir Shah were originally scattered by the rout, and they could not assemble the formation at all, and now in the face of the overwhelming cavalry, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

Fortunately, the infantry did not flee in a hurry, and were slashed by the flying sabers, blood gushed out, and their heads flew up at once.

The Soviet cavalry, which had many Cossacks, with their superb horsemanship and high fighting spirit, pursued them in the direction of the rout, and the convoy stood in the way, especially the carriage of King Zahir, which bore the brunt of the carriage by the flying saber, and as the jeweled roof overturned backwards, the poor king and queen who were shivering in the carriage were suddenly exposed.

The loyal captain of the guard raised his scimitar, and as soon as he parried it, it was split in half by a saber from elsewhere. Zahir's mouth opened wide in horror, and before he could speak, a head had been slashed into the sky by a saber.

Empress Umara trembled with horror and was dragged to her horse by a Cossack. The Cossacks whistled, and the horses left the herd and stepped aside to slow down.

The Cossack looked down at Queen Umara, and when he saw that she was very beautiful, his heart moved, and he simply rode to a nearby wood, and swept the queen away, and then pounced on her with a lewd smile.

The carriages carrying the children were also cut off and covered by the cavalry, and the children shouted loudly for their parents and died tragically under the knife.

Poor also were the veiled ladies of the court, who were either slashed to death by knives or plundered by the Cossacks, and suffered the humiliation of a large number of beasts.

In the city of Kabul, Samidak Shah rode his horse, led his servant Sibican and a large group of personal guards, hurriedly dismounted in front of the palace gate, and strode towards the palace.

Several palace guards came to stop them, but they were pushed away by the guards around Samidak, and a large group of people came to the main hall of the palace.

Diana was reading a batch of documents on the dispatch of supplies under the instructions of Muhammad Hashem, and when she heard the messy footsteps and noises, she raised her head in some surprise, only to see Samidak rushing into the main hall, quickly stood up, and asked loudly: "Cousin Samidak, why are you back in Kabul?" What about my brother? ”

Samidak said in a rough voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the city of Maidan has been broken by the Soviet army, and the army is about to come to the city of Kabul, I am now taking you to a safe place As for Your Majesty, it is estimated that you are fighting with the Soviet army at this time."

Hearing Samidak's words, Muhammad Hashim asked in surprise: "Samidak, you have left His Majesty the King and run back by yourself?" ”

Samidak sneered: "The Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, since His Majesty the King has the ambition to drive the expedition in person, he will naturally not take the Soviet army in his eyes."

Diana's face changed color, and her eyes were filled with tears: "Your cousin Samidak, did you lead the Soviet army into the city of Maidan?" Otherwise, the defense of Medan City is so strong, how can it be said that if the city is broken, the city will be broken? ”

"This haha"

Samidak laughed dryly: "Where can this be! After all, I am also a descendant of the 'Mushahiban' family, how can I do something like a family and a nation."

Before Samidak could finish speaking, a bloodied guard stumbled into the room: "Oh no, Your Majesty's convoy encountered Soviet cavalry twenty kilometers south of Kabul, and it has been completely wiped out, and several of our guards have broken out of the encirclement, rushed back to Kabul to report that the Soviet army had approached the outside of the city behind us, along the way, they killed people when they saw them, and grabbed things when they saw them, I asked at the city gate just now, according to the frightened cavalry who withdrew from the city of Maidan, it was His Highness Samidak who ordered them to retreat"

Later, several more wounded guards rushed into the palace, and all of them said that Samidak had betrayed the motherland.

"Cousin Samidak, what else do you have to say?" Diana asked indignantly.

Seeing the hateful gaze of his uncle Muhammad Hashem and Diana, Samidak broke the jar and pointed at Diana and said, "Yes, I led the Soviet army into the city of Maidan, how about it?" Who told Zahir that the dead ghost refused to marry you to me before he promised me to be the king of Afghanistan, and then I can marry you justifiably, Diana, I am all for you."

"Phew!"

Diana was furious and spat on Samidak's face.

"It smells so good! Is this an indirect kiss? ”

Samidak stretched out his hand and touched it, saw the bloodshot saliva, sniffed it while leaning his nose, and continued to sneer: "Now that the Soviet army has arrived outside the city, you can't escape, and there is still a chance to cooperate with me, otherwise you know what the fate will be in the hands of the Soviets." ”

"Shameless!"

Diana gritted her teeth and said that if the gaze could kill, Samidak would have died ten thousand times.

Muhammad Hashem sneered: "Cousin of Samidak, the Soviets are cruel, I don't know what means you have to protect yourself?" ”

Samidak triumphantly took out a letter: "Look, this is written to me by Sheng Shicai himself!" Among the guards I left outside, there were still a few Soviet generals, and they were ordered to protect me! Now that the Soviets have arrived outside the city, Zahir has gone to see Allah again, you are unable to fly and die better than to live, and now only I can protect you and your families! ”

"Smack!"

A bullet hole suddenly appeared in Samidak's forehead, blood and brains gushing out of the hole, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell straight down.

The guards were in a hurry, and Samidak's servant Sibby Gan howled and threw himself at Tang Fen on Leng Li's side, and he was greeted by a bullet that went straight to the center of his eyebrows.

As the master and servant of Samidak fell into a pool of blood, Tang Fen put the pistol back into his waist, pulled out two daggers, and threw himself into the panicked more than ten guards like a gust of wind, screaming everywhere, and after a while, the ground was already full of people, all of whom were pierced through the temples, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"I hate traitors to the *** family!"

Tang Fen's eyes flashed with a fierce gaze, and he strode to Diana's side: "Madam, Prime Minister, the situation is dangerous, the Soviet army has already approached the city, and the defense of Kabul is empty, so we can only choose to retreat for the time being." At the airport, there was a special plane waiting, which the chairman had reserved for his wife to evacuate in case of emergency. ”

"Brother" Diana burst into tears, already immersed in the great grief of her brother's death, and turned a deaf ear to Tang Fen's words.

"Good martial arts! Well done! Kill wonderfully! ”

Muhammad Hashim clapped his hands vigorously and exclaimed: "To deal with such a scum, it is necessary to use thunderbolts!" Diana, you leave with Colonel Don, for the destruction of a dynasty must have a few martyrs. ”

Tang Fen shook his head: "Prime Minister, please forgive me, Princess Diana is lonely now, if you don't accompany her, I don't know how she will live." For the revival of Afghanistan, please come with us! ”

At this time, the gunfire outside was getting closer and closer, and ten sturdy female soldiers had consciously come to the palace, they were fully armed, automatic rifles, submachine guns, grenades, and even one was holding a general-purpose machine gun with a chain of bullets on his shoulders.

Muhammad Hashem was stunned for a moment before he said, "Well, I'll go with you." ”

Tang Fen asked inquiringly, "Prime Minister, do you need to rescue your family?" We have two armored vehicles that can take your family with us. ”

"Time is running out, it is important to ensure the safety of the crown prince, let's go to the airport immediately! As long as the royal family is bloody, Afghanistan will never perish! ”

Muhammad Hashim endured the grief in his heart and said with emotion.

Tang Fen was not pretentious, helped Diana, and quickly came to the parking lot behind the garden, where two eight-wheeled armored personnel carriers were parked. Tang Fen asked the two fighters to help Diana and Muhammad Hashim into the second armored car, and then instructed the others to quickly get into the car.

At this time, the city was already full of Soviet cavalry chasing civilians with sabers, and several cavalrymen saw the armored vehicles that suddenly rushed out, brandished their sabers and greeted them, but they were greeted by the furious bullets of the machine guns in the front of the vehicles.

Invincible, the armoured fighting vehicles swept the approaching cavalry across the ground and drove all the way out of the northern gate of Kabul towards the airport.

Previously, a group of cavalry was storming the airfield, but they were greeted by well-built fortifications, light and heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and mortars, forming a dense network of firepower, and hundreds of Soviet cavalry were beaten to the point of crying wolf, and they could only circle the airport from a distance to see if there were any weak links that could be used.

At this time, the armored fighting vehicle arrived, and a fierce tongue of fire erupted from the front of the vehicle, and groups of cavalry fell under their horses.

The armored car drove into the airport without danger and quickly stopped on the runway, the engine of the AN6 passenger plane, which had received a warning from the armored car's on-board radio in advance, had started to warm up, Tang Fen jumped out of the car, quickly opened the rear door of the second armored car, and instructed the female soldiers to quickly help Diana and Muhammad Hashem onto the plane.

After the two were settled, Tang Fen solemnly saluted the two: "Madam, Prime Minister, my comrades-in-arms and I are now back to Kabul and strive to rescue your relatives!" Take care! ”

With that, he turned and left.
