This siege of the two Japanese peepers also strengthened the trust between the generals.

Mao Yankai was already convinced of Yu Songyuan's battlefield feelings. Without the "lightning", the brothers would not be able to concentrate on attacking the Khyber Pass Gorge at all. And Yu Songyuan also listened to Mao Yankai's advice in a timely manner, and in this secret war environment full of thrilling and dangerous steps, the coach's understanding and support made him feel very relieved and encouraged.

Seeing that Yu Songyuan had already set his eyes on the third group of "Lightning", Mao Yankai thought for a moment and said:

"Gates has already taken care of the loss, and he will definitely suppress the Japanese people, and the threat of the Japanese people in the near future can be ignored. But the threat of the 'Lightning' is indeed real, and they should be dealt with once and for all before attacking the canyon. In the near future, you will continue to prepare for the attack and ensure the safety of the trading company. As for finding where the 'Lightning' team is hiding, I will send the 'Jasmine' team to assist ISI in doing it quietly. ”

Things really turned out to be as Mao Yankai expected, and the attack on the trading company really had nothing to do with Gates. The whole incident was the work of the Uchida Intelligence Station of Izumi Inoue. After Shio Nagano's team was collectively beheaded by Team Leader Uchida for dereliction of duty, the task of finding the "ghost" tactical team fell to the Inoue intelligence station.

All the clues lead to the Abar Trading Company, so Inoue Izumiyo asked Uchida to activate the Peshawar 3rd Action Group to secretly monitor the Abar Trading Company. Unexpectedly, on the first night of surveillance, a team of two, one was arrested and the other was forced into the Gates manor.

The people who are arrested do not confide, they are not worried. But escaping into Gates Manor would push the CIA into a corner. While Gates quickly went through diplomatic channels to the Chinese side, he strictly ordered Inoue to stop all activities against the Chinese. Otherwise, "all volunteers in the Wa Kingdom must be evacuated from Peshawar!" ”

Uchida was slapped in the face by the M people, and Sakata, the leader of the action group who fled into the manor, was directly put under house arrest by Gates. Uchida had to issue a "snow hiding order", ordering the Inoue Izumi Information Station and the Third Action Group to suspend the surveillance of the Abar Trading Company, remain vigilant, look for fighters, and strive to eliminate the "ghost" in a war.

It was only at this time that Inoue Izumiyo breathed a sigh of relief. If all the "volunteers" of Uchida's group were driven out of Peshawar because he had offended the CIA, Izumi Inoue would become a sinner of the Japanese state, and the only way awaited him was to cut himself.

This is because strategic planning for the national resources of the Japanese state in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, and plotting against Central Asia and China's Xinjiang is an important part of the "Mainland Policy" and has been one of the basic national policies of the Japanese state for more than 100 years. Uchida's long-term Taobao in Peshawar is actually to seize the opportunity of the West to promote religious "jihad", use religion to take a long-term view, and cultivate agents to split China and Central Asia.

Uchida's "Snow Hiding Order" just created the conditions for the brothers' squad to concentrate on Liliang to deal with "Lightning".

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the harsh winter has come, and the strategic transportation channel of the Khyber Pass Gorge has been basically cut off by Spatesnaz. However, the brothers' squad was dragged to Peshawar by the third group of "Lightning", unable to move. However, the brother team did not move for more than a month, and the effect was slowly revealed.

In this contest of patience and endurance, the "Signal Flag" finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they began to make big moves.

This is also the purpose of Mao Yankai, Shandra and Yu Songyuan, winter is approaching, and "Lightning" is more eager to act than the brother team. Everyone is comparing patience, as long as you can't bear to move first, you will be exposed.

In recent days, Sandra has intercepted a number of messages between the KGB and the "Lightning" Third Group, but because the KGB has changed the code, the experts at Shandra's Savo stronghold have not been able to translate a single one. And the cryptographic experts of ISI and MLH are also at a loss.

Gates and the British, because of the brother team in Peshawar, the "Lightning" team has stopped its raids, Peshawar has become relatively safe, so they focus on the mujahideen training camp and the delivery of arms and supplies to the mountain people Islamic Republic.

When winter comes, the "mujahideen," guerrillas, and other resistance organizations that are persistently resisting behind enemy lines on the plateau are becoming more and more sad. CIA Director Kelsey made a secret visit to Islamabad. He did not dare to come to Peshawar, but only summoned Gates to Islamabad for a few days of backroom discussions with CIA experts.

Zuihou, Kelsey, Moore and Gates, held another two-day high-level closed-door meeting.

The biggest outcome of Kelsey's visit was the agreement he reached with Moore and Colonel Gates. That is, with the joint efforts of the two sides, a completely new mode of arms transportation will be established. At the heart of this model is the commercialization of arms transport. That is, arms dealers or private caravans are allowed to participate in the operation of arms and equipment transportation business, and the government of country M provides subsidies for private caravans.

From the outbreak of the war in 1979 to the end of 1983, the CIA took great pains to transport large quantities of arms and combat equipment into the hands of the resistance. This kind of all-encompassing way of working comes with significant sacrifices and huge costs. The CIA only had to pay dollars for the commercial model, leaving the risky arms shipments to local tribes or private companies, and all the risks were borne by the caravans themselves.

With the new mode of transportation, hundreds of private caravans sprang up overnight in the northern tribal areas of the Halal Country, in the Pashtun tribal areas in the southern part of the Shanren Islamic Republic. These private caravans, using various methods, crossed the border and transported arms into the war zone. For each caravan that completes the transportation task, the Gates office will give a certain financial reward.

This move inspired countless private operators to make the reconnaissance detachment of the 40th Army of the Polar Bear and the special forces detachments of Spessnaz unable to defend themselves, attacking everywhere and exhausting themselves.

In order to inspire the confidence of the caravan and reduce the losses of the carapace, Gates sent two teams of more than 60 seals to have an encounter with Spatesnaz in the Khyber Pass Valley, an ambush and a counter-ambush. As a result, the two families suffered heavy casualties and only a draw.

In an ambush and counter-ambush in late November, Army M SEALs and the British SAS West Asia unit joined forces, resulting in 12 SEAL squads killed and 23 wounded. The SAS West Asia detachment lost 11 people killed and seven wounded, completely losing its combat effectiveness. The 154th detachment of Spatesnaz Independence also paid a significant sacrifice. Two combat groups, with a total of 57 men, took part in the battle, 27 killed and 11 wounded.

After this battle, the 154th independent detachment of Spatesnaz became more and more courageous, and was transferred to a group and infiltrated into the Khyber Pass Gorge in the border area of the Halal Country. However, the seals were frightened and urgently withdrew to the Fifth Fleet of the Navy of Country M in the Persian Gulf. The Central Asian detachment of the SAS retreated into the mujahideen training camp and never dared to show its head again.

Gates saw that the seals were defeated by Spatesnaz, so he simply left all the risks to the camel team himself.

These caravans are local Pashtun or Patan people who have lived in the northern mountains for many years. They are familiar with every grass and tree in the border area, and they can cross the border from the border of more than 1,000 kilometers between the two countries, with thousands of mountain passes and hundreds of paths, so that the independent combat detachments of Spetsnaz cannot guard against them one by one, and can only gamble their luck to set up ambushes at various junctions or cols in turn.

With the onset of winter, the resistance movement intensified, and the KGB, which was responsible for fighting behind enemy lines, came under increasing pressure.

It was against this background that the exchange of telegrams between the KGB and the third group of the "Lightning" suddenly increased. Sandra had a sad face all day, and none of these telegrams could be translated. For two days in a row, the telegrams were more than five. This unusual behavior indicates that something major is about to happen.

Sandra had already sent the telegrams not to the ISI at the same time, but to the war rooms of the brothers' squad one by one. Looking at these heavenly telegrams, Yu Songyuan and the others were also at a loss. He held the telegram in his hand, and he really had no tricks, so he looked at the almighty Liu Guodong in a daze.

Liu Guodong is an engineering expert, and he has always had a way to make the team survive in a desperate situation when he has encountered jishu thresholds that he can't get rid of in the past. Seeing the captain holding a telegram in his hand, he looked at him in a daze, so frightened that Liu Guodong shrugged his shoulders, swung his hands straight, and spread his shoulders again, "Boss, don't scare me, you let me research a new telegraph, I can do it." But you have to count on me to decipher the code, my brother can't do anything, and the interlacing is like a mountain. ”

Yu Songyuan had no choice but to stare at the sand table, nervously thinking about countermeasures. With such frequent messages, it is clear that there is something big about to happen. But what made the KGB ignore the danger and activate the "Lightning" third group?

"Shandra, please inform ISI that in the next half month, all major activities that have been arranged in Peshawar will be copied and sent, as soon as possible!" In the evening, Yu Songyuan suddenly ordered Shandra.

Sandra hurried to make arrangements, and at eleven o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant Colonel Taylor of the ISI sent someone to report the situation. Intelligence is of little value, except for the graduation ceremonies of several mujahideen training camps, the biggest event is that a major general of the Halal Army will come to serve in the Peshawar garrison, and nothing else is worth mentioning.

Yu Songyuan angrily threw the "information" aside, and Lin Tao and the others also circulated it.

Yu Songyuan walked around the room a few times with his arms crossed, and was really irritable, so he walked into the courtyard. At night, the temperature in Peshawar is already below zero, and the cold wind blows through the yard, making people feel cold for a while. He lit a cigarette and gave one to Lin Zhumin, who was following him.

The heavens were gray and dull. The street lights are drowsy, and the whole city is in a lazy sleep. Suddenly, another cold wind swept through the sky, making both of them shiver.

This gust of cold wind made Yu Songyuan's heart move. He couldn't help but chant something in his mouth, "At this time, on the Hindu Kush Mountain, on the entire plateau battlefield, the temperature should be several degrees below zero. Compared to the plateau battlefield, Peshawar is really warm as spring......"

"Boss, slow! You just said - to keep out the cold? ”

"Yes, it's the cold! Go back, the breakthrough has been found! Yu Songyuan suddenly figured it out, and his chest suddenly brightened. He threw away his cigarette and hurried back to the war room with Lin Zhumin.

He and Lin Zhumin rushed to the sand table, carefully examined the map of Peshawar, and then smashed their fists on the map, startling everyone. His voice trembled a little, and he suddenly saw that everyone was asking, "Guys, what are they most afraid of polar bears right now?" What is most important to the Resistance? ”

"Ammunition, food, heating, equipment for the winter!" Everyone said almost without thinking.

"Yes!" Yu Songyuan smashed his fist on the sand table, "What the KGB headquarters and the 'Lightning' third team are staring at is arms, food and equipment!" ”
