Chapter 7: The Secret War
"Who knows about our entry into Peshawar, including the current station, and now ISI?" Yu Songyuan asked.
Sandra laughed, "China's 'ghosts' are too famous on the hidden front, and it will be an open secret that you have entered Peshawar." Peshawar is a spy capital, and there are no secrets. But our current location, rest assured, is strictly secret, and only me, Delhi, and General Moore know about it within the ISI. ”
After speaking, she said sadly, "Just a few hours ago, the British did not listen to our alarm, and the entire SAS West Asian team was killed. After Captain Rooney was wounded and captured, he was strapped to his arms and detonated with two grenades, and his body was blown to pieces. It is in this extreme way that the 'lightning' warns everyone that the night in Peshawar is their world! ”
Delhi respectfully prepared the haode briefing materials and distributed them to everyone. Shandra said, "Peshawar was once a pearl, a famous cultural city, but now it is disrupted by the war, which is sad! ”
In fact, all the members of the team were already familiar with these contents in the text briefing before entering Peshawar. What they need to know most now is how much the MLH and ISI know about Spetsnaz and Lightning. But out of politeness, out of respect for ISI's careful preparation, everyone took a look at it anyway.
Peshawar is located west of the Bala River, a tributary of the Kabul River, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and has a population of nearly 500,000. Since ancient times, it has been the center of trade and trade of the Shanren Islamic Republic and Central Asian countries, and it is also one of the passages of the ancient Silk Road into South Asia, and has always become the target of conquest of Persia, the Shanren Islamic Republic and the Tianzhu Kingdom.
Historically, Peshawar was also a famous cultural city, the center of Buddhism in ancient Tianzhu and the entire East. As early as the Ashoka period of the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient Tianzhu, a large number of monks were sent from here to spread Buddhism to all parts of Asia. Buddhism has been widely spread in China since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the vast area centered on Peshawar, including today's Shanren Islamic Republic and the northern part of the Halal Country, Buddhism flourished for hundreds of years. In the 4th century BC, the Macedonian king Alexander invaded Central Asia on a large scale, and the Buddhist culture of Peshawar was not annihilated. But in the second half of the 5th century AD, the brutal iron cavalry of the Huns swept all this away.
This glorious history of Buddhism has been vividly described in the records of Chinese monks who went to the West to learn scriptures. A.D. 405-411, when the high monk Fa Xian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty of China passed through here, he saw the prosperous and magnificent pagoda temple, hundreds of Jialan all over the place, many monks, and the cigarette was prosperous.
200 years later, when Xuanzang, a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty, passed through this place again, he saw that "the city is empty and deserted, and there are few people", "more than ten Jialan, destroyed and desolate, and depressed". Brusablo, the ancient capital of Gandhara known as the Great Lunar Eclipse in ancient Chinese history, is Peshawar, the largest city in the Northwest Frontier Province of today's Halal Country.
After the departure of the Huns, the descendants of the Arabs who migrated one after another brought with them the Koran and Islam, and Islam began to flourish here and permeated every corner of people's lives. The once glorious pagoda temple has become a ruin, annihilated in the dust of history.
In the suburbs and hills around Peshawar, there are 2,000 years of cultural accumulation, and you can see the architectural and cultural relics of the prosperous period of Buddhism everywhere, and the archaeological value is immeasurable. Some antique dealers in Western countries have lived in Peshawar for many years, and sometimes they can get a good price for a random antique in the market.
After the establishment of the Halal State in 1947, Peshawar became the capital of the Northern Frontier Province. After the military occupation of the Shanren Islamic Republic by the polar bears, the seven larger resistance groups in the southern part of the Shanren Islamic Republic have their headquarters here. Western countries, led by country M, together with the halal country, also used Peshawar as a rear base to support the Shanren Islamic Republic in its resistance to the war of aggression.
Beginning in early 1983, the frontal offensive had little effect, and the polar bears changed their tactics and sent small units of special operations units to infiltrate the guerrilla base areas in various theaters, especially in the border areas between the two countries, to carry out targeted clearances, and the resistance groups suffered heavy losses. Since February, key targets in Peshawar have been hit more than 10 times in a row.
Lin Tao threw the briefing materials on the sofa and asked directly, "Both of you are big shots, so I will speak directly." We have already had this information in the early stage. What we are anxious to know now is the specifics of the Spatesnaz team that entered the Khyber Mountains and the 'Lightning' team that entered Peshawar. ”
Sandra nodded and said in Chinese into the sand table, "In recent months, Mao Yankai, the leader of the MLH team, and General Moore of ISI, have quietly entered Peshawar. After careful reconnaissance, we have determined that the two special operations teams of the 154th Independent Detachment of Spetsnaz are currently operating in the mountains around Peshawar. Those who infiltrated Peshawar were two to three groups of the 'Lightning' detachment of the 'Vympel' troops. ”
The 154th Independent Detachment was the mysterious unit that was the first to infiltrate Kabul, kill Amin, and uncover the prelude to the war in the Shanren Islamic Republic. In a series of combat operations of the Polar Bear Army, they all played the role of sharp knives, and made great contributions to the comprehensive and smooth occupation of the entire territory of the Shanren Islamic Republic by the Polar Bear Army.
This is a meritorious unit of the Polar Bears, and will be one of the main combat opponents of the Brothers.
The separate 154 detachment, which had at least two groups, had already dived into the Khyber mountains, attacking the transport mule corps passing through the gorge. At present, the mule transport in the Khyber Pass Gorge has been basically interrupted. Without a large guerrilla escort, the mule team did not dare to enter and exit the canyon easily. As a result, a large number of arms are stuck in Peshawar, and the situation is becoming more and more serious.
MLH and ISI have also identified the presence of two operational groups, the "Vympel" and the "Lightning" detachment, in Peshawar. Attacking the training camp, strangling the seals, and raiding the SAS West Asia squad were all responsible. This hidden force, so far, no one has seen its true face, and it will also be a tough opponent that the brother team will face first.
Through Shandra's introduction, Yu Songyuan and others knew that in order to cooperate with the brothers' squad, all the agents of MLH and ISI on the front line of Peshawar had done a lot of covert investigations and basically found out the enemy's situation. "What other information is there about this 'Lightning' group? Specifics? Yu Songyuan asked again.
The caterpillar said, "We have confirmed that the former officer of the Kalmal regime and now the president of the Mujahideen Union in the capital, Gethari. Major Kamilf, the 'Trojan Horse' of polar bears. The Capital Mujahideen Guerrilla Force is an influential resistance organization with more than 3,000 combatants operating in the Kabul area, the capital of the Shanren Islamic Republic. ”
"Aunt Bug, this is an important leader of a resistance organization, and any judgment needs to be supported by concrete evidence!" Lin Zhumin said.
"Absolutely." Major Kamilf lived in Peshawar, and he had close friendships with Colonel Gates of the CIA, Lieutenant Colonel Taylor of the ISI, and Captain Rooney of the United Kingdom, and a large amount of military aid fell into his personal hands. MLH and ISI have ample evidence that Major Kamilf is suspected of large-scale arms reselling. ”
"Arms reselling, this is an important clue, is there conclusive evidence?" Yu Songyuan asked.
"At present, about 10,000 tons of arms are delivered to Peshawar every year, and we have carefully followed up to obtain conclusive evidence that at least 800 to 1,000 tons per year flow through his hands into the hands of non-resistance groups, sometimes simply into the black market," the caterpillar said. And the money from the sale of arms did not improve the conditions of the Mujahideen guerrillas in the capital. On the contrary, urban guerrillas in major cities such as Kabul and Kandahar have suffered greatly this year. ”
"Since he has a problem, how can important people like Taylor, Rooney and Gates have good friends with him?" Liu Guodong asked.
"That's the problem. This Gates has the same name as the Secretary of Defense of Country M during the Carter period, although he is a member of the CIA, according to what we have, he is very likely to be a double agent. It is not surprising that such a person, who has no integrity at all, gets mixed up with Major Kamilf. Taylor, on the other hand, is a villain. Long-time occupation of singer Serna. Hal is a wise villain and is not to be trusted. Major Kamilf, the president of the Urban Mujahideen Alliance, who currently lives in the Summer Palace, was one of the castle-like estates of the British colonizers, the caterpillar added. The Summer Palace is an iconic colonial-era building that is almost as imposing as the Governor's Palace in Peshawar. After entering Peshawar from the Shanren Islamic Republic, he bought the summer palace and used it as the headquarters of the urban Mujahideen. This resistance group is currently the most generous of the seven resistance groups in Peshawar.
"He has a lot of resources at his disposal, and his guards are recruited from among the Islamic jihadists who come to Peshawar from all over Shijie with high salaries. They are already in the training camp, and they have been trained into inhumane murderers by the people of Country M and the British. Now they are only loyal to the major, and this Liliang will be a strong force that the brother squad cannot ignore. Sandra said.
"The guards are released first, and our goal is 'Lightning.' Lightning' had two groups in Peshawar, numbering sixteen to twenty-four people. Where are they now, and do we have any information? As a rule, two groups should be hidden in two places. Did the group leader have any tips? Lin Tao looked at Sha and asked.
The caterpillar said, "The Lightning is strange, and we haven't been able to find out exactly where they're hiding for the time being. ”
Yu Songyuan stared at the sand table, still feeling a mess, but he didn't mean to blame MLH or ISI. "Vympel" is subordinate to the KGB and is a top assault liliang specializing in covert operations outside the country, and it is not at all surprising that MLH and ISI could not find a foothold for the "Lightning".
The secret battle shijie is full of fog. Hiding oneself is the first priority, and it is also the most effective. No matter how good you are, once your whereabouts are exposed, it means that you have failed. The KGB is Shijie's top intelligence organization, and how can people easily find traces of the dignified "Vympel" troops?
