Chapter 178: The Iranian Conspiracy

Peshawar.

On the calm battlefield in Afghanistan, such a big change has taken place, so that Mhammad did not expect that before the winter of last year, the Free Army of Afghanistan beat the Soviets very badly, and the Soviets could not even protect their own transportation lines, could not get more supplies, and the Soviets were suffering for a cold winter.

But now, after the winter has passed, the Soviets have unexpectedly launched a large-scale offensive, relying on the continuous bombing of high-altitude fighters, which has broken the morale of the Free Afghan Army, especially the inability to deliver supplies and the loss of logistical supplies, and the Free Afghan Army has re-transformed from a force into a guerrilla force.

Even Hewaja and Durrani were dismantled and re-hid in the mountains to fight guerrillas, and were broken into pieces.

Mhammad did not agree to their request, and now, Mhammad thinks more.

"The materials we have delivered this time have cheapened the Soviets for nothing." In the headquarters, looking at the large proportion of the sand table, Mushaaf said: "In the past, it was we who attacked the Soviets' transport lines and depleted their war potential, but now, it is the Soviets who have hit us at the vital point. ”

Mhammad nodded, as the front line continued to report the information, Mhammad knew how hard the Free Afghan Army was fighting now, and remembered that the troops he created were being consumed by the Soviets, and Mhammad was extremely heartbroken.

The Soviet Union has air superiority, using the air to deal with the ground, that is an absolute advantage, and now, the Soviets have played this tactic very well, and even Mhammad admires the Soviets for making such a trick in the face of adversity.

But there was always something wrong, Mhammad looked at the sandbox, frowned, and pondered.

When he looked at the Iranian border in western Afghanistan. Suddenly a thought flashed in my head, grandma's, the Soviets wouldn't go this way, right?

"The Soviets are now launching such a big offensive, especially their warplanes, with such a strong air strike, except for a batch that took off from Turkmenistan. Half of them also took off from Bagram, so their logistical supply problems should have been solved. "With a regiment of the Free Army in the Panjshir Valley, it is impossible for the Soviets to bring so much supplies, so they must have another channel!" ”

Relying on his keen intuition, Mhammad discovered what was behind the war, supplies. How did the supplies of the Soviets get here?

"Are they on transport planes?" Musha'f asked.

"Of course not, with the volume of transport planes, they can't even transport all the supplies of a division." "They must have come from here, bypassing," Mhammad said. ”

Following the direction pointed by Mhammad, Musha'f looked over and said in surprise: "By Iran? How is this possible? ”

"What's impossible then? After all, scum is everywhere. Mhammad said, "Otherwise. Now that the Soviet Union is encircling and suppressing in the north so fiercely, why hasn't there been any movement in the south? ”

So says Mahmad. Musha'af immediately understood.

It is impossible for the Soviets to transport large quantities of supplies from northern Afghanistan, where the Free Afghan Army is under the control of the Soviets, and the Soviets have to pay a lot of casualties if they want to get through, especially in the Panjshir Valley, which is simply a sad place for the Soviets. Every day there are battles, every day vehicles are destroyed.

In winter, the bitter cold of the Pamirs stopped everything, and even the Free Afghan Army stopped attacking. Survive the winter in a cave, and at this time, the Soviets bypassed northern Afghanistan, from the Iranian border, all the way to southern Afghanistan, and then dispersed supplies throughout the country.

Their attention was only on northern Afghanistan, so they did not expect the Soviets to complete such a large-scale supply operation, and now, with sufficient ammunition and food, they finally began to launch a fierce attack on the Free Afghan Army.

When the Wakhan corridor was cut off, the Free Afghan Army was starved of supplies from Pakistan, and it was difficult for them to hold on.

With such a large movement of the Soviets, it is impossible to hide it from the Iranian side, although Iran is now at war with Iraq, and it is impossible not to deploy troops on the eastern border.

Now, whether the Iranian top brass knows it or not, at least the commanders of the Eastern Border Guards must be in collusion with the Soviets.

There is a lot of conspiracy in it.

The Free Afghan Army in the north is so dazzling that the whole Afghan knows that it was the Free Afghan Army that liberated the whole of Afghanistan and drove out the Soviets, in contrast to the Afghan guerrillas in the south, who did nothing.

If this continues, when the war in Afghanistan ends, the Free Afghan Army will become the national army of Afghanistan, and the Afghan Freedom Party will become the ruling party of Afghanistan.

Driven by various interests, they probably secretly reached some kind of agreement with the Soviets, and the guerrillas in the south, supported by the Iranians, in this way, the Soviets passed through the Iranian border safely, brought logistics supplies over, and dealt a heavy blow to the Free Afghan Army.

Historically, such a thing did not happen, therefore, Mhammad was also unprepared, and now, because of Mhammad's crossing, the war in Afghanistan has developed in another direction, so that the butterfly effect has emerged.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to do it in advance." "With the momentum of the Soviets' offensive, the Free Afghan Army could be broken up in a few months," Musha'af said. ”

"Yes!" Mhammad said loudly: "We must absolutely let the Soviets know that the Free Afghan Army will not be defeated!" Let's start on both sides, I will send a unit of the Free Afghan Army, interspersed with it, to reach the territory of western Iran, to find the transport troops of the Soviets, and strike at them, and we must not let their logistics arrive so swaggeringly! Second, inform the Iranian hierarchy and let them know that this is excessive, and we are angry. ”

Iran has harmed the Free Afghan Army in this way, Mhammad will never agree, and now, Mhammad has the means to control Iran, if they are obsessed, then Mhammad would rather not make high profits to subsidize his own air force, than provide Iran with Tomcat spare parts.

Under such conditions, the Iranian top will make the right choice, and Mhammad knows that those guys at the top of Iran are very high-minded, and according to their personalities, especially the spiritual leader, they should not let such a thing happen, and nine times out of ten, it was the commander of the eastern Iranian garrison who did it.

"At the same time, we also have to give some practical support to the Free Afghan Army." "Take off electronic jammers, interfere with the warplanes of the Soviets," said Mhammad. ”

Due to the limitations, Mhammad cannot command the Pakistan Air Force to attack across the border, which will expand the scale of the war, and the consequences are not something that Mhammad can bear.

"However, we need to protect the electronic jammers." "Maybe the Soviets will cross the border and attack our electronic jammers," Musha'af said. ”

"Yes, the Soviets jumped over the wall in a hurry, and they could do anything." "We took off two Tomcat fighters to escort electronic jamming aircraft, and if the Soviets dared to attack, we would resolutely fight back!" ”

After thinking about it, Mhammad added: "We also have to take off an AWACS aircraft to monitor the airspace on the battlefield." ”

Although the Tomcat fighter has a powerful radar, however, during the real flight of the fighter, the radar will not be turned on all the time, only when scanning the airspace, and the interception operation will start, if it is turned on as soon as it takes off, and it is turned off when it lands, it is a few hours of use time at a time, and the radar is quickly scrapped, after all, the average trouble-free interval of AWG-9 is only forty hours. Every time you fight, it takes so many ten minutes, and you have to check it often, if you keep it on, it's a waste.

"The order was given to Peshawar Air Base." Musha'f said: "Starting tomorrow, it will enter a state of patrol interference. ”

The equipment imported from the United States can now finally make a difference.

Four high-powered T56-A-15 turboprop engines roared, and four propellers rotated at the front of the wings, driving the transport plane to glide on the runway.

The shape of this transport aircraft is completely C-130, which is a high-performance transport aircraft in service in the United States, but the large knife-shaped antennas above the dorsal fin and below each outer wing, and the small knife-shaped antennas on both sides of the fuselage, all show that this kind of transport aircraft is not ordinary, this is a modified electronic warfare aircraft!

The Americans were able to export this electronic warfare plane entirely because of the credit of Backfire, and now, this electronic jamming plane will play its due power.

"The compass call has taken off, requesting an escort." In the front cockpit of the fuselage, the captain shouted over the radio.

"The Eagle Squad received it and is taking off and coming." Behind the EC-130H electronic warfare aircraft, two F-14 Tomcat fighters, turned on the afterburner, and quickly took off.

Now, 80 Tomcat fighters have returned to China, and the most skilled pilots have been supplemented to the Peshawar Military Region, where the 15th Squadron is equipped with a total of 24 Tomcat fighters. The rest, all at the air base in the east.

Although Rick the Eagle is very young, he has become the captain of a flying squad due to his last exploits, and he really likes the feeling of taking to the air.

Two Tomcat fighters, which soon caught up with the EC-130H, flew in formation. (To be continued......)
