(4th Update)

At the time of the bloody armed conflict between the Soviet Union and Chechnya on Chechen soil, a force of about 2,800 armed men entered Dagestan and prepared to raid and harass Dagestan's borders. They were led by the captain of the Chechen Armed Guards, known as the "Master of Terror" and the "Wolf of the Caucasus"? Basayev.

As the battle in Chechnya intensified and intensified, Dudayev, who had just consolidated power, wanted to create something else to separate Dajikistan from the Soviet Union, and he had always dreamed of establishing a Chechen-Ingushetia-Dagestan unity, a real fundamentalist regime in the North Caucasus.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the illegal armed forces in Chechnya, Basayev has a deeper idea: once the newly established Chechen armed regime is strangled in the cradle, then the thousands of armed forces led by Basayev can still mediate with the Soviet army through guerrilla warfare. They committed crimes and carried out attacks to force the Soviet government to negotiate independently.

Basayev was a master of guerrilla warfare and terrorism, and the events in the Moscow Theater and Beslan were planned and orchestrated by him in history. And Yanayev also gave a special order before the attack of the Soviet troops, he did not need Shamili? Basayev surrendered, and he did not need peace talks, only to see his corpse. For this reason, Yanayev offered a high reward of 1 million, stating that whoever could kill Basayev would receive this huge bounty.

Basayev's head became the most valuable head in the whole of Chechnya, overtaking Dudayev and other senior officials overnight, and Yanayev's counter-plot not only made Basayev enemies on all sides, but also deepened the feud between other Chechen leaders and Basayev. Basayev's choice to jump out of the political core of Grozny at this time was also a wise move, after all, the people who wanted to take his head and take his place. The list goes on.

He was keenly aware that the contradictions between the fundamentalist and secularist factions were only temporarily suppressed by external pressures, and that one day a conflict would erupt between the two factions. At this time, choosing to leave the sidelines is also a practice of waiting for the price to sell.

The night in the mountains of Dagestan was unusually quiet, and a rapid march through the mountains was the sound of snow falling from the branches, except for the creaking of boots in the snow. This group was saddled only with Kalashnikov rifles. Partisans of RPG bazookas and mortars are harassing and raiding the Soviet troops in Dagestan and creating a sense of smoke in the Soviet army.

"Commander-in-Chief Basayev, after crossing the first few hills is the Dagestan border region, we can occupy a few nearby villages for a little rest, and then set off for the city closest to the border." According to the intelligence of the pathfinder sentinel, Basayev's subordinates made this suggestion to him.

"Give me the map." Instead of answering his question directly, Basayev asked him to show him a map for reference, and only after confirming the precipitousness of the terrain near the village in front of him did he order his subordinates. "You first send sentries to occupy the commanding heights near the village, and then send some people into the village to survey and confirm that there are no Soviet troops in ambush before letting the troops in."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." The subordinate nodded, and he ordered the pathfinder to go down and let the pathfinder sentry go to occupy the commanding heights first, ready to attack or cover the retreat at any time.

Years of guerrilla warfare had developed a cautious and suspicious personality, and the calmer the environment, the more frightening he felt, as he did not know if there were any traps waiting for him. Basayev is a cautious old fox. That's why they can be at peace in their war career for so many years.

Still, Basayev underestimated the Soviet army's reconnaissance capabilities, or rather lost to the Kremlin traverser's predictive abilities. Yanaev, who had known that Basayev was eyeing Dagestan, would have been negligent at this critical point? He had already arranged his army and waited for the arrival of Basayev.

Ambushed in the mountains in the distance, the members of the Veggentia watched the team's every move, having spent three days and two nights in the cold, counting the stars to pass the time. As for how many members of the special forces reconnaissance from Chechnya to Dagestan are monitoring this team, only the top of Moscow knows.

"Report to headquarters, members of this armed force have entered our ambush range." Scouts sent the location of the militants to the headquarters. The headquarters for the operation was located in an underground military bunker in Dagestan.

Given that the majority of Dagestan was on the side of the separatists, Yanayev did not believe that there was no internal response between the Dagestan government or the army, and the operation was completely secret, with the participation of all but some of the high-ranking members of the Dagestan army who were loyal to the Soviets.

It was Comrade Putin who corresponded with the scouts. Yanayev handed over the command of the Dagestan operation to him in order to train Putin and let him lay the foundation and prepare for taking over the post of general secretary of the Soviet Union in the future.

When Yanayev asked Putin how he would deal with the Chechen crisis, he proposed for the first time a set of plans to adjust the situation in Chechnya: First, to introduce a strict temporary quarantine system in all areas bordering Chechnya. Chechnya remained an integral part of the Soviets, and any act that undermined the territorial integrity of Russia would be considered illegal; secondly, the complete elimination of armed bandits in Dagestan and Chechnya, the establishment of new Chechen leaders with pro-Russian hardliners, and the transfer of bandits in Chechnya to Moscow after the war, otherwise the Soviet Union will cross the Chechen border to eliminate these armed forces; Thirdly, it is proposed that the more authoritative Chechens form the legitimate representative body of the Chechen Republic in Russia.

Finally, Putin said that the issue of Chechnya's future political and economic status can be discussed only after the implementation of this series of measures. And Putin's answer was praised by Yanaev, the answer he always wanted to hear.

The communication equipment received information from the front-line investigators, and the correspondent hurriedly replied. "Received from the scouts, please use the laser to indicate the team's logo so that our aircraft can be accurately positioned."

"Yes, sir." The scout replied to him, and after cutting off contact, he whispered to his comrades, "Why do you think the military top brass knows that these terrorists are attacking Dagestan in the past few days?" Could it be that Chechnya has our internal response in it? ”

"How could I know about such a high-level thing." The team members next to him seemed to be tired of hearing his noise, and their tone was a little impatient. The marching procession, under cover of night, was on the back of a mountain a kilometer away, and they could be seen through high-powered binoculars.

"Hey, I'm just thinking about what kind of guys the leaders of Moscow are, you see, the range of this route we monitor is only a few kilometers, which means that the Moscow top brass has even predicted their marching route, unless the leader of this team has spies around him, how can such an accurate prediction be achieved."

His companion's words were like a big question mark in the minds of the scouts, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, yes, how could they know the precise route of the march unless Moscow had planted spies in it in the first place. But it has only been two weeks since the Chechen insurgency began, and how did Moscow plant spies on the side of its leader?

"Damn, I don't need to think about that." He shook his head to squeeze the extra thoughts out of his head, then set up the laser launcher and aimed it at the marching troops, all they had to do was direct the bombers on the ground to deliver a precise strike against the terrorists.

Under the guidance of invisible light, the Grim Reaper quietly marked the lives of more than 2,000 people.

In the operational command room, Putin gave an order to the air base of the Caucasus Military District to carry out the bombing, and the tower messengers immediately got busy, and the bombers, who had long been waiting for the final order, flew to the marching mountains to carry out the bombing plan codenamed "Heavenly Rebuke".

Like huge black hawks hidden in the night sky, two huge bombers silently approached the group of Chechen rebels high in the sky. (To be continued.) )
