Chapter 318: Cleaning up the Bagram base
The bombing was effective, and the images taken by the Soviet reconnaissance satellites showed that a large number of fighters were blown up on the runway, including a large plane with a mushroom plate, which must have been the AWACS aircraft! This time, the use of ballistic missiles to attack the opponent's airfield completely played the role of a surprise attack.
Although the Soviet Union undertook diplomatic pressure, for example, the Soviet Union's use of ballistic missiles to attack targets in Pakistan was already considered to have crossed the line, Pakistan issued a stern statement, for example, the United States expressed strong concern about this, and even hinted that if the Soviet Union continued to do so, the United States would deploy ballistic missiles in Pakistan, which was the same as the Soviet Union's deployment of ballistic missiles in Cuba, which was directly arranged in the back garden of the Soviet Union, which was absolutely intolerable to the Soviet Union, and these diplomatic aspects gave Gorbachev a headache.
None of this has anything to do with Marshal Akhromeyev, who is just a soldier and thinks only with the brains of a soldier.
The main force of Pakistan's air force was blown up on the runway, and its own side finally stopped having a headache with those Tomcat fighters.
Now, with the twenty Su-27 fighters and forty MiG-29s newly transferred from Eastern Europe, plus the dozen or so MiG-29s left from the last air battle, they can now dispatch more than seventy fighters, which are enough to confront Pakistan's remaining air force.
In the Pakistan Air Force, the most powerful is the combination of Tomcat fighters and immortal birds, which have been defeated, and the remaining F-16 fighters cannot even launch medium-range bombs, so they have no power at all.
The day after the bombing of the Pakistani air base, Soviet warplanes began to fly over northern Afghanistan.
Four Su-27s, hanging R-33, R-27 and R-73. It has been flying non-stop over northern Afghanistan, even reaching the border with Pakistan, and if it detects that Pakistan's air force is taking off, it will strike across the border.
Since Pakistan is shouting that the USSR is not playing its cards according to the norm and should not use ballistic missiles, then. Regular air combat, this is always okay, right?
Pakistan, faced with the challenge of the Soviet Union, did not send out fighters!
Pilot Paul Basha calmly looked at the airspace around him, and couldn't help but be very disappointed when he saw that there was nothing on the radar except for a bright line.
Pakistanis, come up! Come and fight the great Soviet Air Force! Paul remembered that so many of his own soldiers had been shot down yesterday, and his heart was full of anger.
"Grandma's. I really want to beat them down! Standing on a mountain pass, looking at the Soviets flying in the sky, Osama clenched his fists and put aside the Stinger missiles he was carrying.
Just now, he stood on the mountain pass, constantly aiming at each other with Stinger missiles, but alas, the height at which those fighters flew. More than three thousand meters of his Stinger missiles. It's out of reach.
"Phew." Spat at the mouth, Osama said, "Let you be arrogant for one more day!" ”
"Captain Osama, the Minister of Defense has asked you to come to the meeting." At this moment, a panting Afghan Free Army fighter said to Osama.
"What would he be good to drive? I'm not going. Osama said.
"I heard that it was a discussion on attacking Bagram." The warrior said.
Hit Bagram? Osama's face suddenly filled with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back immediately!" ”
Returned to the government compound. All the people were seated and waited for Osama.
"Duranny, come on, how are we going to fight Bagram?" Osama asked.
Now, the Free Army of Afghanistan looks at the surface. The northern part of Afghanistan is controlled, but it is similar to the original guerrilla zone, which is in the mountainous area, and those big cities are still controlled by the Soviets, and in the entire northern part of Afghanistan, the most important thing is the Bagram Air Base!
This base was originally the most important air base for the Soviets, but when Pakistan set the north as a no-fly zone, the air force here could no longer move, and there were no new fighters, all of which were old MiG-21 and MiG-23.
However, in order to encircle and suppress the Free Afghan Army in the mountains, this base has become the largest Soviet military base in northern Afghanistan, where the army was stationed before, and now, the number of troops stationed has been increased, up to 20,000!
20,000 people! Now, the entire Free Afghan Army is only 15,000 people! Moreover, their equipment could not directly confront the Soviet army.
However, as long as this army is killed, then there will be no major war in northern Afghanistan again!
The Free Army of Afghanistan is still good at fighting guerrillas, and until now, that is, with 50 M551 tanks supported by the United States, this kind of tank weighs only 20 tons, which is convenient for maneuvering in the mountains.
There were also two MH-53 helicopters, which were mainly there to search for the wreckage of the Soviets' warplanes, and the United States handed over these two helicopters to the Afghans to operate.
Only these weapons, how to fight?
"A new battle is about to start again, the Soviets want to completely control Afghanistan and solve us, and now, they have pacified the south, and they are constantly marching in new troops, completely with the idea of eating us, therefore, President Muhammad gave us the order to eliminate the Soviets at the Bagram base! Let them know that we are definitely not a piece of fat, but a stone! ”
As the president of Pakistan, Durrani has unconsciously developed a momentum, and he constantly tells himself that in the absence of His Excellency Mhammad, he will become a man of his own!
"If we attack directly, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete this mission." "I think we should lure them out, in the mountains, and exterminate them," Hewaja said. ”
"That's 20,000! Even 20,000 sheep are enough for us to kill for half a day. "We brought them into the mountains, and we had to exterminate them in batches, and it took a long time. ”
"And what can you do?" Hewaja asked Osama.
"Dig up the Kabul River and flood Bagram!" Osama said, "20,000 people, even 100,000 people, must be killed by us!" ”
All the people, with their eyes wide open, looked at the light-hearted Osama, flooding Bagram?
Bagram, located in a flat valley in the middle of the mountains, took a fancy to it after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and built it into a large base, building a 3,000-kilometer runway.
And just in the northeast of here, a few dozen kilometers away, over a mountain, is the Kabul River.
Far away, only Osama could have thought of such an idea.
"That's impossible." Hewaja said: "Across a big mountain, how can the water of the Kabul River flow to Bagram! ”
"In the past, maybe not, but now." Osama said with a smile: "We are mining in the mountains, and we have also dug a lot of mines in that big mountain, and the whole mountain has been dug up enough holes, as long as we use enough explosives, boom, a waterway, it will be blown up." ”
On the other side of the mountain, there is the Bagram base, and the Soviets in the base live normally and are stationed, while on the other side of the mountain, Afghan civilians have already begun to mine minerals.
At first, the Soviets still wanted to obstruct it, but they sent several troops, all of which disappeared into the mountains, so they gave up and opened the mines, as long as they didn't come to trouble the Soviets, the Soviets acquiesced in this behavior.
The economy of the Afghan Free Government is managed by Osama, so where to mine and how large the scale of mining is all controlled by Osama, no one knows that Osama is not only mining, but secretly preparing for this!
"This method seems to be too unreasonable and contrary to Allah's will." Hewaja said. Thinking of the surging river, which flooded the entire base, and all the Soviets, struggling in the water, Khwaja felt that it was too cruel.
"What's wrong with this?" Osama said: "Killing with a gun is killing, bombing with missiles is also killing, flooding is also killing, what difference does it make?" ”
Osama didn't care about that, what he wanted was results.
Hewaja was the Minister of Defense, and now, Hewaja did not agree with the battle plan, so Osama could only look at Durrani again.
"Duranny, what do you think of this approach?" Osama asked.
"I have to ask His Excellency Mhammad about this." Durrani said: "We must have the consent of His Excellency Mhammad to do this. ”
"Duranney, how many more years do you have to be to mature? In order to be in charge alone, in order not to bother His Excellency Mahmad? Osama had an expression of hatred: "Durani, now Your Excellency Mhammad has already tried his best to fight the Soviet Air Force, and you are embarrassed to disturb him about this matter?" The Soviets used ballistic missiles, bombed the Peshawar airport, and bombed so many planes, if our planes were still there, could the Soviets' planes fly like this? We can't always make Pakistan pay for us, we also have to prove that we are capable of driving out the Soviets, don't let His Excellency Mhammad bother more! ”
"Then, then we'll vote by show of hands." Durranny said.
"You're the president! What else to vote with a show of hands! Osama said, "All of us have to listen to you as long as you agree." ”
"And what if I don't agree?" Durranny said.
"Then you're busy with yours, I still have important things." Osama said that he had already buried the explosives, there was no mine in the mountain at all, it was all prepared for today, whether these people agreed or not, in short, he was going to do it. (To be continued......)
