Therefore, in order to adapt to the changes in the battlefield situation and improve the rapid reaction capability, all divisions, brigades, and regiments of the 40th Group Army quickly set up special reconnaissance units to take the initiative to find and destroy the enemy hidden in the shadows.

Therefore, from the summer of 1980, the 40th Army's three motorized infantry divisions and three independent missile brigades were all formed into reconnaissance battalions. A total of 10 motorized infantry regiments belonging to the three motorized infantry divisions were all set up as reconnaissance companies. The three motorized infantry regiments directly under the headquarters of the 40th Army were attached to the Gru-Swabs Naz Special Operations Battalion.

These special reconnaissance units are responsible for collecting battlefield intelligence and engaging in special attacks and targeted clearances.

In small-scale raids, reconnaissance platoons are the most frequent units of these reconnaissance detachments. A platoon usually carries 1-2 LPO-25 "Wasp" flamethrowers, 2-3 AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers. The heavy weapons were dismantled, and the parts were divided into the pockets of several people, and they were quickly assembled when used, improving the reaction speed of the squad.

Each motorized infantry regiment generally sent a reconnaissance detachment of 30-40 people, which, in addition to individual weapons, was equipped with two BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, an AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher, and a "Vasilik" 82-mm high-speed pursuit gun. Due to the quality of the scouts and their familiarity with the combat environment, the Resistance and the Mujahideen were devastating during this period.

The 40 th Group Army has set up a reconnaissance office in the headquarters of each division, brigade, and regiment, and the group army has specially set up two reconnaissance command posts and a reconnaissance center directly under the group army, which are responsible for organizing reconnaissance detachments to conduct battlefield reconnaissance and espionage reconnaissance. From the end of 1980, a radio communication reconnaissance system (COMINT) was also formed, equipped with a mobile "ram" radio listening system, which could be installed directly on MTLB-U armored vehicles.

At this point, through the radio signals of the "Mujahideen" resistance group, the 40th Army frequently detected their position and course of action, and gave targeted strikes and targeted clearances.

Complementing the special operation is the implementation of the strategy of "fortresses of the line of communication". The 40th Army embarked on a large-scale battlefield construction, and it set up 862 checkpoints and posts in various jurisdictions, including 186 guard posts and 184 observation posts, and if you add those improvised forward reconnaissance points, the total number exceeds 1,100.

These posts are organized from platoon to company, and the oil, food, and ammunition are kept in the posts, and the main tasks of the posts are reconnaissance, vigilance, and defense. The large outpost became a fortress that could accommodate tanks, artillery, and armoured vehicles, as well as transport convoys overnight and send reinforcements in the event of a "mujahideen" attack.

For example, post No. 23, located on the road from Termez to Kabul, has a mortar platoon, a tank company, an artillery platoon and a reconnaissance platoon, totaling 193 personnel. The more remote outposts lived in hardship, far from the bulk of the army, not only within range of the enemy, but also often starved of food and water, roasted by the scorching sun during the day and shivering at night.

There are generally several observation points radially around the outposts, most of which are located on the top of a hill or on high ground, which not only creates a security line for the outpost, but also expands the observation area. In order to increase the effectiveness of reconnaissance, each observation point was equipped with telescopes, night vision devices and, later, a signal reconnaissance system.

Each major post is equipped with signal reconnaissance systems, such as the "Black Eye" infrared system, which consists mainly of a network of sensors, and a large number of miniature infrared sensors are deployed near important targets, roads and mountain passes, both day and night, and these sensors can quickly relay information to the command center in the event of an approach by a hot or metal object (including guns carried by soldiers).

Another highly effective signaling system is the reconnaissance system with the name "Reality". It uses the principle of vibration to measure very subtle ground vibrations, including those generated when a person walks.

When the enemy approaches the sensor, the sensor immediately transmits a ground vibration signal to the console, and the controller can judge the number and direction of movement of the enemy through the type of signal, as well as whether there is a motor vehicle. Each outpost mainly spreads sensors on roads, trenches, etc., that is, it can accurately capture the direction of the "Mujahideen" attack.

In addition to monitoring their surroundings, the observation post also serves as a post station for special operations teams, providing them with ammunition, food and other supplies, and providing them with a place to rest. When the enemy is spotted, the observation post can also notify the artillery and aviation units and direct them to carry out a fire assault on the enemy.

Special operations and fortress tactics cost the Mujahideen and other resistance groups dearly.

The strategic passage from Kandahar to the halal city of Quetta in the west has been basically cut off, and the Khojak Grand Canyon, Jemaine and Bolan Pass and other geographically dangerous places have been firmly controlled by the reconnaissance detachment of the 40th Army. The Khyber Pass to the east was also basically cut off by the 40th Detachment of Spatesnaz, which was directly under the 154th Army.

The successful implementation of the "targeted clearance" and "targeted clearance" has left a large amount of military supplies stranded in the border cities of Peshawar and Quetta. The coming winter of 1983 was a season of unpredictable terror for the guerrillas and "mujahideen" in the Islamic Republic of the Hillmen. Resistance groups in Kabul and Kandahar are already preparing to withdraw to the land of halal to escape the "bitter cold".

However, an Arab television station published an Arabic editorial with the title "This Winter Is Unusual." "A mysterious and powerful Liliang is dominating the night in Peshawar, where the night is no longer as terrifying as it used to be." Perhaps, the cold winter of the Hindu Kush in 1983 will no longer be as cold as it used to be......"

Almost all the major news agencies in Shijie rebroadcast this editorial.

CNN and the BBC also added an editor's note, and the BBC swore that "this mysterious liliang, as the world knows, is the almighty CIA." The 'secret war' is even more effective than the president's 'Star Wars' jihua. The CIA, which had experienced the baptism of the 'Lancang Secret War', had a completely new look, and in the new round of contest with the KGB, the CIA once again came out on top. ”

There is a lot of new content in this press release, the so-called "Star Wars" jihua, that is, the "proposal to develop the interception of enemy missiles jishu" issued by the president of country M Negan in March 1983. Referred to as "Star Wars jihua" or "Star Wars" by Shijie Media, it is the latest product of the Cold War between Country M and the Polar Bear, kicking off a new round of the arms race.

The so-called "Lancang Secret War" refers to the old incident in which the CIA organized a Miao "special force" headed by Wang Bao in Lancang during the Vietnam War to attack the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" from Lancang territory, thus making North Vietnam pay a heavy price. It was at that time that the CIA of country M began to transform itself from an "unarmed intelligence organization" that could only spy on intelligence to the largest military intelligence organization with unlimited power and a large number of hidden military resources.

Mao Yankai was not affected by these news, and he had already fixed his eyes on the Khyber Pass.

The secret warfare team where the "Lightning" is still hiding in Peshawar has completely disappeared and is completely hibernating. Trying to find the "lightning" that has been deliberately hibernating, it is simply an impossible task. Simply, the direction of the sortie was determined to be the Khyber Pass. When the "Lightning" team can't stand it anymore and comes out to wreak havoc, it's not too late to clean them up.

In just a few days, according to Mao Yankai's instructions, the caterpillar had already sent a truck of special equipment for winter operations. The Abar Trading Company is extremely busy with international trade, employing dozens of white-collar workers of various nationalities, as well as five or six young men from the Halal country. The office of the trading company is located on the fourth floor of the red building in the center of the manor.

The Red House on the third floor on the left is the nest of Mao Yankai's MLH group and the place where he stays.

The Yellow Building on the right is the nest of the brothers' team. In the huge basement, there is a huge sand table, in which the Khyber Mountains terrain is built according to the map. There is a depot of ammunition and equipment, a full set of Soviet-style equipment. The basement is specially built with a highly confidential secret room, which is completely safe from eavesdropping. There was also a well-equipped listening system, and Derry was able to walk on crutches, and he and Sandra were listening closely to the radio.

Yu Songyuan ordered Liu Guodong to make a small sand table according to the "Inoue Road Map". He also brought in special equipment from China and ordered Sandra to closely monitor the telecommunications situation in Peshawar in an effort to intercept the telecommunications between the "Lightning" and the KGB, and to find clues from them.

The Brothers discussed the current situation for several days, but almost all of them agreed that, on the surface, the Inoue Roadmap was nothing more than a treasure hoarder. Because, in the underground chamber of the University of Peshawar, there are indeed countless precious cultural relics of great value.

Molotov, who can be the head of the "Vympel", weishenme should be so interested in this diagram? He is a professional agent whose first mission is to fight and kill, and he will never be interested in stealing chickens and dogs. How did he get this picture, and what kind of play is this "Inoue"? In particular, is there a connection between this diagram and the attack on the brother squad?

These questions can't be answered now, and there are too many mysteries in them.

Since I can't answer the question, let's put it aside for the time being, and let's get acquainted with this new base of the Abar Trading Company. What makes Yu Songyuan happiest here is that there is a small indoor shooting range underground, and there is also a small swimming pool in the garden, which is only a dozen meters away from the Yellow Building. Although it was already the end of October, it was only about ten degrees in the morning and evening, and it was very cold at night, but it was still more than thirty degrees at noon. Every day at noon, many foreign men and women come to swim.

As a result, Yu Songyuan and others could only swim in the morning and evening when the temperature was low, and the employees of the trading company would get off work. Swimming at low temperatures has become an important part of their training to maintain their physical fitness. To their disbelief, even shock, it was that Shandra, an Islamic girl from a halal country, would wear a trendy swimsuit and compete with them.

Moreover, the body is flexible and graceful, and it swims very well.
