Chapter 1705 Windfall from the sky

"Da Da Da-"

Four Type I airborne tanks, lined up, tore to shreds any Soviet cavalry trying to approach with their sabers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Six armored vehicles and forty trucks followed, and the guns and machine guns of the armored vehicles, as well as the machine guns mounted on the roof of the truck cab, and the automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers in the cabins, were waiting to hunt the fish that slipped through the net to ensure the absolute safety of the convoy.

As they approached the city gates, the convoy began to converge, still led by tanks, forming a straight line and rushing straight into the chaotic city.

In the city of Kabul, thick smoke is billowing out, many Soviet cavalry, at this moment have dismounted their horses, armed with carbines and machetes, killing people everywhere, setting fire and looting, the rarest resource is naturally women, for these animals who have been holding back for more than half a year, there can be a free opportunity to vent, naturally will not let go, there are tragic and inhumane tragedies on the streets.

At this moment, the paratroopers had already disembarked from the trucks and followed the tanks and armored vehicles, and they all greeted them with bullets to the beasts who took the initiative to disarm and expose their naked and ugly bodies, and the naked Afghan women, their eyes wide open, as if they were indifferent to their rescue.

When many officers and soldiers saw this, they sighed in their hearts.

There were too many similar tragedies in the city at the moment, and it was impossible to take care of them, so they could only move on with anger and deal with the evildoers with even bloodier means.

As we approached the palace in the city center, a clear burst of gunfire was heard. Tang Fen, who was sitting in the armored command car, perked up and said into the microphone:

"The Arabic-style complex in front of the palace is the home of the Minister of Military Affairs Shah. Mahmod. Khan's official residence has a certain number of private soldiers, it is estimated that they are the ones who are fighting at the moment, we are rushing over now, and the troops are on full alert! ”

"Yes!"

A neat answer came.

When passing by the gate of the palace, Tang Fen turned his head and looked inside the palace gate, only to see that the golden and brilliant buildings in the past were now covered with messy corpses and overflowing blood, and many topless *** female corpses were lying at the door, which made people feel chills.

Tang Fenxing's eyes flashed with a few glimmers of cold light, his teeth were clenched, and the tragic scene of his mother's head being cut off by the Japanese as a ball when he was a child hit his heart, and the knuckles of his hands were pinched white.

Beyond the palace building, the scene suddenly opened up, and hundreds of Soviet troops were besieging an Arab dome-like structure. In front of the wide complex was a row of sandbags, and in the holes in the middle of the sandbags, tongues of fire were constantly sprayed, and at the same time, cold guns were constantly fired from the holes in the buildings, knocking down the Soviet troops who tried to attack from other places one by one.

The Soviets were clearly dismounted cavalry, not equipped with heavy firepower, not even a single mortar, and therefore could do little to defend it.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the sudden appearance of mechanized troops surprised both sides.

The Soviet commander heard the sound of the tank motor, and as soon as he turned around, he was pierced by a string of bullets, and before the rest of the Soviet soldiers could react, several shells had already fallen into the crowd, exploding a stump and broken arm. The Soviets woke up and chose to evade, but the galloping armored vehicles and the paratroopers following behind were fiercely strafing at the fleeing Soviet troops, and the hundreds of Soviet soldiers crowded around the building, and in the end, only a few dozen escaped with their lives.

The defenders in the building were obviously a little hesitant about the sudden arrival of reinforcements, and did not react for a long time. Tang Fen's armored command car slowly drove forward, she picked up the microphone connected to the tweeter at the front of the car, brought it to her mouth, and said loudly in Persian:

"We are An Jiajun, Bong Diana and Mohammed. The order of Prime Minister Hashemite came to the rescue. We have forty trucks, enough to take you out...... Please evacuate within a quarter of an hour. ”

There was a burst of cheers from the building, and the sandbags piled up in front of the gate were pushed open, and more than 30 soldiers dressed in Afghan government uniforms ran out of the gate, followed by a large group of women, old and young.

Tang Fen immediately instructed two paratrooper company commanders to go with their troops to assist.

There is Shah in this building. Mahmod. Khan's wife and four minor daughters, as well as a number of others who had fled to the area, loaded a truckload of men, gold, silver, jewelry, and treasure.

More than 30 Afghan soldiers were incorporated into the unit, and the convoy continued on its way, soon reaching the deceased Zahir. King Shah's father-in-law, Ahmed. Shah's mansion.

At this moment, this mansion has been broken by the Soviet army, and the building is full of animalistic thugs, and the paratroopers of the Anjia Army quickly rushed in, aiming at the demons who are robbing and killing people is a shuttle, with a deliberate calculation or unintentional, plus the paratrooper unit was originally formed by the elite of the Anjia Army, and in the case of zero casualties, more than 200 Soviet troops were all wiped out.

Ahmed. A few of Shah's relatives survived, and all the men in the mansion were executed by the Soviets. Shah's wife was *** after *** hit *** wooden stick, one of the three daughters died, most of the maids died, and almost all the surviving women were bruised, and their condition was unbearable.

Don Fen Jean Shah. Mahmod. Khan's relatives went to rescue and comfort the survivors, and organized soldiers to rush the mansion's belongings before heading to their next destination.

It's okay, Muhammad. Soon after the breaching of Hashem's mansion, the destruction had just begun.

The Prime Minister's residence is located on the street behind the palace, and most of the Soviet troops were attracted by the palace and the buildings of the two wings. Hashim's mansion was so interested that he looted and burned all the way to the building, and finally found the building, and after a storm, he finally broke through the defenses with more than a dozen lives, and killed all the men in order to vent his anger, and was about to do the beast to the women, and the aid force had arrived.

It was still a one-sided massacre, the Soviet army was dizzy, and they had already relaxed their vigilance in their hearts, and when they suddenly encountered a strong enemy, they could still organize an effective defense, and the weapons and equipment were not as good as the opponent's, so it was normal to be destroyed.

Kabul is the largest city in Afghanistan, after hundreds of years of construction, the Soviet cavalry was scattered in a huge city covering an area of about 100 square kilometers, and there were relatively few people at a certain point, so it was very easy for the Anjia army to break in and save people.

Tang Fen's original intention was just to save people, but at this moment, seeing that he came and went freely, the Soviet army's resistance was not as fierce as he imagined, and he suddenly had a better idea. She immediately ordered a company, two tanks, and two armored vehicles to escort the rescued women and children back to the airport, and then move on to the next target.

Is it to save the traitor Samidak? Is the Shah that ethnic? Of course not, the team drove to Bagramme Street, where the Anglo-Argentine Bank and the Bank of Afghanistan are located.

Britain has been running banks in Afghanistan for more than 80 years, and at one time it had a monopoly on the right to issue currency in Afghanistan, until the establishment of the National Bank of Afghanistan six years ago, which ended the dominance of the Anglo-Afghan bank. Historically, the Afghan nation has been known for its bravery, once united Persia, invaded Central Asia, the Caucasus and Ukraine in the north, attacked Turkey and Iraq in the west, and forced the Delhi government in India to surrender in the east.

After the British opened banks, all trade with the outside world was exchanged for pounds sterling and Indian rupees, so many tribes had to exchange looted gold and silver for paper money and buy much-needed supplies. Later, seeing that it was more convenient to store paper money than gold and silver, it was even more aggressively exchanged, so the gold and currency reserves of the Anglo-Argentine Bank were very sufficient, and its annual profits ranked first among many banks in South and West Asia.

The Anglo-Argentine Bank's underground vault was heavily defended, and after Habibullah, the "son of the water man" occupied Kabul, he had the idea of hiding this batch of gold, but the vault was specially reinforced, and it is said that a special blasting device was installed, once there was a violent invasion of the lock, the vault would automatically explode, leaving people with nothing.

Faced with mountains of gold, silver, and pounds, but unable to obtain them, one can imagine how depressed the bandit-born Habibullah is!

Later, with the defeat of Habibullah, Nadir . When Khan ascended to the throne of king, the British made a comeback and tried to remove the gold from the treasury, but were resisted by the Afghan government and clans. Knowing that this wealth was not owned by the bank, but by the depositors, and the British had no right to ship it back to India or even to England, so the wealth was preserved.

Four years later, the National Bank of Afghanistan was established, the Afghan rupee was issued, and a portion of the Anglo-Afghan Bank's wealth was transferred to the vaults of the National Bank of Afghanistan. It can be said that although Afghanistan is a poor country, there are absolutely mountains of gold and silver in the two banks, and it is well worth using your brain around them.

Located in the east of Kabul City, named after the proximity to Lake Bagram, the British built an expatriate area here at the end of the last century, which flourished for a while, and then gradually fell into disuse with the defeat of the Third Anglo-Afghan War and the Afghan government revoked all the privileges of the British in Afghanistan, but even so, it is still the most important financial and commercial district in Kabul, where many pawnshops, loan sharks and barter shops are located.

When Tang Fen led his troops into the intersection of Bagramel Street, there was a crazy scene in front of him, full of Soviet soldiers holding looted things and smirking, all the war horses, all hung with boxes, boxes full of cloth, furs, silk, tea and other materials, the whole street was full of corpses, many of them were Caucasian.

"Kill!"

As soon as Tang Fen gave the order, the guns of tanks and armored vehicles rang out in unison, and the general-purpose machine gun on the front of the truck also spewed out angry tongues of fire, and the officers and soldiers following the truck held their guns and fired at the Soviet soldiers who were in a frenzy.

The battle went smoothly at first, but when it reached the two banks, it was met with fire from the blocking positions set up by the Soviets in the streets and the fire points in the buildings on both sides.

It can be seen that the Soviets also attached great importance to these two banks, and at least one battalion of troops was deployed here.

"The mantis arm is a car, not self-sufficient!"

Tang Fen carefully observed the surrounding environment with a periscope, sneered, and while signaling the tanks and armored vehicles to move on, he ordered the paratroopers to use bazookas to strike at all buildings on both sides that might be hiding the enemy.

Due to the lack of explosive weapons and the unparalleled power of bazookas, the firing points arranged on both sides of the street were muted, and tanks and armored vehicles approached the blocking positions made of sandbags, using general-purpose machine guns to frantically strafe the Soviet troops who were evading in all directions, and finally smashed open the sandbags and drove straight in.

At this point, the Soviet army's psychological defense line completely collapsed and fled in embarrassment.

Tang Fen did not give them a chance to report at all, and pursued them all the way down the street with tanks and armored vehicles, and finally wiped out all the Soviet troops near the east exit of Bagramel Street, and then turned the car around and returned to the bank.

With his defenses set up, Tang Fen jumped out of the car and began to look at the banks lined up on the left and right sides of the street.

The Gothic-style two-storey building on the left is the Anglo-Argentine Bank, and the Arabian-style flat-roofed building on the right is home to the National Bank of Afghanistan.

Tang Fen led people into the gate of the Anglo-Argentine Bank, it is estimated that the power supply facilities in the bank have been damaged, the house looks extremely dim, the flashlight is turned on, and you can see the counter of the bank and the tables and chairs around it, there are dead people everywhere, and the blood has accumulated a thick layer on the ground.

The photographer who followed Tang Fen faithfully recorded everything from beginning to end, and in the future, he would edit out useful things and use them as living teaching materials to promote patriotism.

"Sir Tang, there is not much money on the counter, and we collected the money outside the street and in the bank, and it is only more than 200,000 pounds. I suspect the money is in the vault below! ”

Zhou Zheng, the commander of the first company of paratroopers, reported to Tang Fen.

Tang Fen nodded: "Did you send someone down to see it?" ”

Zhou Zheng replied: "I've seen it, starting from the stairs, the iron plate is laid, and the corridor and aisle below are all thick iron plates, and the thickness is conservatively estimated to be more than 200mm." The big lock of the iron door is a combination lock, which has different combination of passwords, and the length is different, and we can't figure out what it is. If you blast it with explosives, you won't be able to penetrate deep into the steel plate, so the effect won't be very good! ”

Tang Fen thought calmly for a moment and asked, "Can a special tungsten core high-explosive rocket break through the steel plate?" ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up: "This can be tried......"

Tang Fen paced back and forth, thought for a while and asked, "I remember that among the maintenance equipment sent last time, there were several oxygen welding machines...... What do you think of a few holes with a rocket and then cutting the iron door with oxygen welding? ”

Zhou Zheng clapped his hands and exclaimed: "This method is good...... I called the commander of the second company, and it was estimated that they had already sent people back to the airport, so I told them to come over quickly and bring all four oxygen welding machines. ”

Tang Fen waved his hand: "Go, hurry up, we have to withdraw from Kabul before dark, and the troops will completely withdraw from Afghanistan before dawn tomorrow, otherwise we will be in trouble when the enemy's *** troops arrive!" ”

Half an hour later, the corridor of the underground vault of the Anglo-Argentine Bank.

A soldier wearing earplugs, squatting, raising a bazooka, and aiming at the iron gate in front of him.

"Boom-"

A huge explosion sounded, and the iron gate stood still, but in the middle of the iron gate, a large hole was opened.

Tang Fen looked surprised, took off the earbuds, strode to the iron gate, took a closer look, and found that the thickness of the iron door was about 250mm, which was almost the limit of armor penetration of tungsten core high-explosive rockets. The molten iron around the hole had melted at the high temperature, forming several flow marks under the iron door.

Tang Fen took a flashlight to shine on the corridor inside the hole again, and found that there was an iron door below, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The British are quite serious about doing things, and they have made a few doors for such a solid iron cage."

Tang Fen returned to the back, put on his earbuds, and motioned for the bazooka hand to continue.

With the combination of blasting and oxygen welding and cutting, the Anglo-Argentine Bank reached the iron wall of three layers of protection, and it was finally penetrated. When Tang Fen walked into the inside of the vault, which was 200 meters long, 100 meters wide, and 4 meters high, he was dazzled by the gold and silver bricks that filled the room. In the large iron cabinets against the wall, a large number of jewels and jade were also found, including diamonds, rubies, emeralds, jadeite, etc. In addition, fifty denominations, twenty denominations of pounds, packed in sacks, piled up in the corners, it is hard to imagine how big a sum of money it is.

"Afghanistan is a poor country, but its people are really rich!"

Rao is Tang Fen's heart is as strong as iron, and he was also tempted by so many treasures that his heart was pounding. She forcibly suppressed the evil thoughts in her heart and ordered the officers and soldiers to immediately start rushing to transport. According to the law of South China, all those who participated in the operation would receive a share of 20 percent of the total value, that is, after an accurate valuation, 20 percent of the wealth would be distributed equally among the officers and soldiers, so all the officers and soldiers who saw such a large sum of money, although their hearts were also racing, they still threw themselves into the carrying work with all their might, and no one thought of secretly hiding.

Tang Fen came outside, stood in the place where the sun was shining, stabilized his mind, and then said to the two company commanders who were also excited: "Just now, when I was waiting for the oxygen welding machine of the second company, I took someone to investigate the situation of the Afghan Bank, and found that its vault layout is similar to that of the Anglo-Afghan Bank, and we will immediately blast it." Again, the action is fast, and the city of Kabul must be evacuated before the main forces of the Soviet army arrive. ”

"Got it!"

The two company commanders looked at each other and nodded in unison. Zhang Chusheng, the commander of the second company, sipped his saliva with difficulty: "I don't know what the situation of the Afghan bank is, if there is still so much money, this time it will really be a big deal!" ”

Tang Fen shook his head: "It may be much less, after all, the Bank of Afghanistan has only been in operation for six years, although it is nominally a national bank, but compared with the rapidly depreciating Afghan rupee, the gold content per pound is 3.58134 grams, and the currency value is relatively stable, which is more attractive to depositors."

"However, at least the money of the Afghan royal family will be deposited here, otherwise it will not be able to raise so many reserves, and in addition, the Bank of Afghanistan will also be responsible for the formation of a national joint-stock company, which owns the patent rights to the import of sugar, tea and petroleum products, buys and sells on behalf of the Afghan government, and has the rights to exploit all the mineral deposits in Afghanistan and establish industrial enterprises, and there should be a lot of money to be exchanged."

As it turned out, Tang Fen's judgment was basically correct, and the total value of gold, silver, and jewellery harvested in the Afghan bank was about half that of the Anglo-Afghan bank, but it was also a huge fortune worth 200 million pounds.

If it weren't for Tang Fen's inspiration this time, Sheng Shicai would definitely try his best to get this money, although it would be very troublesome to leave the rocket and oxygen welding machine and break the iron cage of the two major bank vaults, but no one could refuse the temptation of gold.

Before evacuating, Tang Fen sent troops to set fires everywhere, using more than a dozen flamethrowers to set fire to all the streets of Bagramé, and quietly escaped.

When Sheng Shicai arrived in Kabul at midnight, the entire street of Baglame had been burned to ashes, and the ruins had concealed all the evils, and by the time the site was cleared, the walls of the underground vault had been melted away by successive fires, and no one knew where the money in the bank had gone.
