War is a contest between iron and fire, but also a contest of national wisdom.

War is a contest of national will, and it is also a contest of deep-seated national culture.

Polar bears have been militarily occupying the Islamic Republic of the Mountain People for four years, and they have adapted to the "non-transmission ** dispute" on the plateau. At this time, the real target of the attack of the "lightning" should never be the intelligence station of the CIA, but the logistics base for the storage of equipment, grain and grass, and the "grain road" that affects the whole body. Attacking the CIA intelligence station can only be a smokescreen, but it is only for the sake of making noise.

Several great gods have fought against the military elite of the polar bear in the long-term military struggle. They discussed all night and exchanged views with Shi Hefei in Beijing in a timely manner, and by dawn they had reached a unanimous agreement.

Zhang Ming rubbed his temples, "Guangjin, I think I can send a report." ”

Seeing this, Yu Bin first flatteringly filled the two leaders with tea, and then hurriedly said, "Two leaders, my team's mission to the south has been completed, and it is recommended that we enter West Asia to ensure the safety of their flanks." Quetta has been attacked repeatedly, and if my squad is in Quetta, I can fight each other with my brother squad. It can not only ensure the safety of the transport line in the Kandahar direction, but also provide flank cover for the brother squad. ”

"You can't move for the time being!"

Zhang Ming rubbed his tired temples, took a sip of his teacup, stood in front of the map of the Indochina Peninsula and said, "Three years ago, Annam invaded the Khmer. One of our key informants and one of our embassy personnel was caught behind the lines of the Khmer enemy. Recently, the Second Bureau has found clues and is preparing to organize a rescue. The motherland must not forget them, you cannot move for the time being! ”

When Yu Bin heard this, he was originally unhappy. But Zhang Ming's sentence "The motherland must not forget them" made him awe-inspired. Yes, the warriors on the hidden front, they choose to be loyal to the motherland, and the motherland will never forget the warriors who are loyal to the motherland!

Zhang Guangjin also said, "The peninsula is not peaceful, and the smoke of southern Xinjiang has risen. The scale of the 'sharp knife' is too small, and the headquarters has only one strategic reserve team in the hands of you. Send you out now, the second department will not agree. As a last resort, you will stay put. Then he turned to the staff officer and ordered, "It is planned to report, 'The attack on the manor is false, but the attack on the grain road is real.'" Design to lure the snake out of the hole and take the opportunity to eradicate the lightning! ’”

After the confidential staff officer prepared the report, Zhang Guangjin signed it and quickly sent it out.

……

Jalalalabad Airport.

In the headquarters of the L54th Independent Special Forces Detachment, the commander of the detachment, Colonel Sakhatov, was holding a telegram from Lieutenant General Gnielarov, then commander of the 40th Army, "Winter is coming, order the 154th Independent Detachment and the 335th Independent Regiment to covertly attack the underground supply base of the Katyar Fortress to ensure the safety of the group army in winter." ”

After reading it, Colonel Sakhatov handed the telegram to the commander of the 335th separate helicopter gunship, Colonel Kryudeyev.

Colonel Kryudeyev took it, picked up a magnifying glass and carefully examined the map of Peshawar, and then walked to the sand table, pointed to Peshawar and said, "Colonel, the Cheka's 'signal flag' has moved and attacked the CIA intelligence station in Peshawar of Country M. Now their attention must be focused on Peshawar, and the attack at this time should be more certain. ”

Four years have passed since the military occupation, and the large-scale surface fighting has long since ended. The main task of the 335th Independent Helicopter Armed Helicopter Regiment is to assist the L54th Independent Special Forces Detachment and the 159th Motorcycle Regiment Reconnaissance Company. The L54th Independent Special Forces Detachment is a trump card in the hands of the GRU, the elite of the elite of the commando detachments in Spetsnaz, and the main service target of the 335th Independent Helicopter Regiment.

The 154th Separate Detachment was the trump card, and the captain of the team, Colonel Sakhatov, was a legend of Spateznaz.

He was the deputy head of the detachment when the L54th separate special forces detachment attacked President Amin's Tashitbek Palace, one of the main assistants to the master of secret warfare, General Kolesnik, and a meritorious soldier of the GRU.

He was born into a strong Cossack family, and his father was a lieutenant general of the 1st Guards Cavalry Army of the Western Front of Ukraine during the Great Patriotic War. Sakhatov inherited his father's excellent genes, and was also proud of his father, and soon became a rising star in the army.

After enlisting in the army, he first served in the armored forces of the Soviet Army in East Germany, then was admitted to the Frunze Military Academy, and after graduation entered the GRU, where he served for a long time as an operational staff officer to General Ivashutin. In 1979, General Ivashutin wanted him to serve as the commander of an armored regiment in the Soviet Army in Germany. However, the situation in the Shanren Islamic Republic has changed, and it has ushered in a peak in his military career.

On May 2, 1979, the head of the GRU, Senior General Iva Shutin, ordered Colonel Kolesnik, then deputy head of the Special Forces Reconnaissance Bureau, to form a separate 154th Special Forces Detachment and prepare it for special tasks. As a result, the first subordinate selected by Colonel Kolesnik was Sakhatov, who was still a lieutenant colonel at that time.

When the 154th separate special forces detachment attacked President Amin's Tashkbek Palace, Lieutenant Colonel Sakhatov with 12 soldiers suddenly launched an attack at the last moment, eliminating more than 250 soldiers of Amin's guard battalion in one fell swoop, creating conditions for the victory of the attack. After the completion of the military occupation of the 40th Army, Sakhatov was promoted to colonel and became the second commander of the separate 154th special forces detachment.

Since 1981, when the 154th Independent Special Forces Detachment re-entered the Shanren Islamic Republic to fight, Colonel Sakhatov gave full play to his military talents, successively ambushed more than 20 times, and intercepted the camel caravans of resistance groups or "mujahideen" on 18 occasions. At the beginning of 1983, they were transferred to Jalalabad, where they repeatedly penetrated into the territory of the Halal country, cutting off the Kabul River Valley and the Khyber Pass Gorge to the death.

Now, only 35-year-old Colonel Sakhatov has become the brightest rising star in the torrent of polar bear ironclads. He has already been scheduled to enter the Military Academy of the General Staff of Voroshilov in June 1984, and his prospects for development in the military field are limitless.

In contrast to Colonel Sakhatov, Colonel Kryudoev worked his way up from the pilot. From the moment the L54th separate special forces detachment entered Jalalabad, Klyudeyev did his best to cooperate with the 154th detachment, creating a brilliant record, and the two formed a deep friendship.

Colonel Sakhatov, who had already worked out a detailed operational jihua and was approved by the GRU and the KGB, pointed to the sand table and said:

"There is a garrison battalion in Katyar, there is a complete air defense system. As long as the Cheka can detonate the munitions in the freight yard outside the fortress, the defenders will be busy putting out the fires. Under the cover of a big explosion, I need the colonel to destroy a few of their anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns first, and then we carry out a plane-landed, three-dimensional attack. After detonating the underground warehouse, quickly retreat. ”

"I have checked precisely the weather forecast in the area of Zhikatyar, where the attack was launched, and the smoke from the explosion will blow in the direction of Peshawar in the south and will not adversely affect the flight formation. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack, and the end of the bearded ones has arrived! ”

Kryudoev excitedly said, "No problem, Colonel." We stealthily enter, strike suddenly, and only need two Mi-24Ps, a few missiles or rockets, and the problem will be solved. During the assault on the underground warehouse, my helicopter will provide fire cover for the assault team and wait for the warriors to retreat together! ”

Colonel Sakhatov beckoned, and the staff officer brought two glasses of vodka.

"Cheers to the Holy War!"

Colonel Kryudeyev took it, and the two clinked glasses and drank them all. The staff officer poured them wine again, turned on the tape recorder, and the melody of "Holy War" resounded loudly and passionately throughout the command.

The combat command room is on the fourth floor, the two colonels are holding wine glasses, leaning on the sand table, looking at the helicopter group busy taking off and landing on the airport outside the window, thinking of the upcoming iron-blooded battle scene, they can't help but be full of pride and fierceness, and they hum in a low voice:

"The huge country fights to the death, to destroy the fascist evil, to destroy all the evils, the bandits, the enemy, and the enemy, we are the two extremes, everything is contrary, we want light and freedom, they want darkness to rule, let the noblest anger roll and tumble like waves, and carry out the people's war, the sacred war ......"

……

Just as Colonels Sakhatov and Kryudoev were immersed in the melody of "Holy War", their rival brother squad, an invisible intellectual war, was also going on.

In the basement of the Yellow Building of Alba Trading Company, Yu Songyuan and his team members sat quietly in the war room, analyzing the sand table and map for several days, and their thoughts had been slowly sorted out at this time. That is, the Spatesnaz and the "Lightning" detachment wanted to cut off the "grain route", and the only way to attack the place where the "grain" was hidden. That is, their real target can only be the Katyar Fortress.

The war has entered a phase of stalemate, and the polar bears, although faltering, still firmly grasp the initiative on the battlefield. The Resistance and the "Mujahideen", on the other hand, only played the role of harassment and sabotage, and did not materially threaten the 40th Army. At this time, if the "grain route" is cut off, it will be like drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and the balance of war will be tilted even more in favor of the 40th Army.

If this result occurs, it means that the core mission of the brothers to attack West Asia has failed. Then, the strategic goal of "dragging polar bears on the plateau of West Asia and letting them sink deep into the 'graveyard of empires'" will not be achieved. And once the judgment is accurate, the brother squad can add a salary at the key node, and let the balance of war tilt in favor of the resistance organization......

Therefore, this judgment is too heavy and too important to be missed.

Mao Yankai held a telegram from Islamabad with a caterpillar in his hand, and the analysis conclusions of MLH intelligence experts were consistent with the analysis of the brother team. The brothers have all circulated it, but they still haven't moved, they are waiting for the results of the analysis from headquarters. Although the headquarters is far away in China, they have more resources at their disposal, and their judgment can provide more powerful evidence for the judgment of the brother team on the front line.

The difficult time passed by minute by second, and finally, Sandra hurried in. Although Sandra is the ISI's deputy front commander, she is also ISI's liaison with the brother squad. She handed the telegram to Yu Songyuan and said, "The judgment of your headquarters is completely consistent with our analysis!" ”

Everyone circulated it and felt relieved, but they were not happy. The goal is clear, and now it is more urgent to think about their attack methods from the perspective of "lightning", so as to find a more clever solution.
