Chapter Ninety-Three: Operation Decapitation
"The 682nd Motorized Infantry Regiment, mainly concentrated in the northern part of Badakhshan Province, in the area of Mt. Chiba, they have bitten a guerrilla force and are closely in pursuit, and with the assistance of helicopters, they will definitely be able to encircle and annihilate that guerrilla force." Chief of Staff Belgrade said: "The 177th Regiment is much worse, it has always been in contact with the guerrillas, and from time to time it has been attacked, and it has lost soldiers, although it has only lost three or two at a time, and we cannot afford to accumulate in this way." ”
"Aren't the guerrillas already broken up and about to be destroyed? Why did it pop up again? Major General Kulikov said.
"Division commander, the fighting in the past few days has shown that although the guerrillas have been broken up by us, they still have a certain combat effectiveness, and now they are using the most effective guerrilla tactics."
More than half of the GRU's special operations brigade was killed or wounded, and the news came back to Moscow, the leaders were very angry, and layers of military orders came down, demanding that Kulikov must completely exterminate the Pandishil partisans, Kulikov resolutely carried out this order, and passed the pressure on the fighters below, two regiments of Soviet soldiers, in hot pursuit, and the fighting has been happening on a small scale, but the effect is not very good.
It is probably impossible to completely exterminate these guerrillas, and at most they will be dispersed, and when they are withdrawn, they will come back in the shadows and threaten the Soviet transport lines in the Panjshir Valley.
Except for those two regiments, one regiment of the government army was all stationed in the Panjshir Valley, and during this time, the Panjshir Valley was very stable, and the Soviet convoys transporting materials were constantly transporting materials, and the transportation volume in these ten days was as large as a month in peacetime.
This shows that the guerrillas were indeed driven away by themselves. Not even half of the partisans are now visible in the valley.
"If we want to encircle and suppress the guerrillas, we don't have enough manpower." Belgrade said: "In my opinion, we can ask for help from the 201st Division and ask them to send one or two regiments to go into the mountains together to encircle and suppress them. ”
In addition to the 108th Division, there is also the 201st Division. They are also stationed in the northern part of Afghanistan, and it should be more certain that they will go into the mountains to encircle and suppress together.
Kulikov shook his head: "Their defense is also insufficient, and they can't draw more troops. Besides, if we throw more people in, we will also scatter in these mountains and forests, and besides, our supplies will not support too many troops. ”
This guerrilla warfare is the most headache and the only thing that can be done now. It is to put pressure on the two regiments on the front line, so that they can continue to intensify the encirclement and suppression, catch up, and annihilate the guerrillas!
Fortunately, there was silence in the valley for the time being.
"Da-da
"Whoa." The guards guarding the door immediately pulled the bolt of the gun. Aimed outside, the machine gunner on the roof. The bolt was also pulled, and the eyes were fixed on the aiming baseline, ready to fire at any moment.
"Da-da
"Continue to receive front-line battle reports." Kulikov said. The gunfire was fading away, indicating that the soldiers of the government forces on the periphery had caught up. Moreover, the gunfire is not dense, it should not be an Afghan guerrilla, just an occasional gunman.
"Report." A signal soldier stood up and said, "Report from the commander of the 324th battalion of the government army. Spotting a native-armed man attacking them, he sent a company in pursuit. ”
"Be sure to shoot." "Drag the body back and hang it in the center of the town," Kulikov said. ”
The indigenous people outside the town hid guns and shot at the government army, hum, it's just looking for death! Kulikov didn't care.
In the dark night, the soldiers of the government army, armed with guns, kept chasing through the valley.
They were not afraid, because they saw with their own eyes, there was only one person, holding an AKM, shooting at them, and then they ran, and immediately they were enraged, and rushed out with their weapons.
The whole valley is full of government troops, and it has been calm for more than ten days, and there is no large force of guerrillas, so such a resident dares to seek death!
Catch up and kill him!
Kill him! It's just right to go to the Soviets and ask for credit!
The legs and feet were quick and fast, and the legs and feet were slow, so they fell behind, and after chasing them out for more than two hours, they had come to a valley, and there were only about a dozen people left.
At this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out on both sides of the valley, not just a rifle, but more than a dozen guns, and the sound of a very crisp gunfire was from the RPK machine gun!
Oops, ambush! The person who rushed to the front tried to retreat, but before he could take a step, he was hit by a bullet in the body and fell down screaming.
A group of people rushed out from both sides, and Mhammad looked at the fallen government soldiers and said: "Quick, change into their clothes and throw the corpses into the ravine!" ”
………
The uniforms of the government army were covered with blood, and in some places they were temporarily bandaged with rags, and it could be seen that blood was still oozing out of them, and the two most seriously injured were carried on stretchers, and their heads were tightly bandaged, and it looked like they were only one breath left.
The Soviet soldiers watched the group appear outside the barricade, the bright headlights shone on the group, and the leading Soviet squad leader said: "Brother, what's the matter?" ”
"Just now one of the townspeople attacked us, we rushed out to chase after us, and as a result, we were ambushed in the valley outside, fortunately we ran fast, otherwise we would not have been able to come back, my brothers were the most seriously injured, and we had to go to the hospital quickly." A man from the government army said, with bloody epaulettes and a star, a second lieutenant.
They all heard the gunfire just now, and they thought that the government army had surrounded and annihilated the indigenous resident who was looking for death, but who would have thought that they were actually ambushed.
The combat effectiveness of the government army has always been very poor, maybe in fact, it is just an indigenous population, they have fallen into the trap of others, the Soviet squad leader said: "Quick, move the barricades." ”
The lives of government soldiers are life-along, and at this time, they need medical treatment.
Passing through the barricade, the dozen or so men continued to run forward at a brisk pace, soon entering the dark streets.
In an alley, Mhammad whispered, "Prepare to act!" ”
After saying that, the people on the stretcher immediately jumped up and down, and those who were wounded untied the bandages wrapped around their bodies, held their guns, and their eyes were full of murder.
Hewaja, Osama, Lamal, Herman, Fahim... The dozen or so men, carefully selected by Mhammad, followed him over a cliff and re-entered the Panjshir Valley.
Along the way, there were occasional government patrols, but they were easily dodged by Mhammad until they reached the town of Ruha.
The perimeter of the town of Ruha, guarded by government troops, and the interior guarded by the divisional guards, is very tight, and it is almost impossible for Mhammad to want to blend in.
On the hillside outside the town of Ruha, Mhamad observed for hours and finally made a bold choice to disguise himself as a wounded soldier of the government army and blend in!
Where are the ready-made wounded soldiers? And still not to the attention of the Soviet guard troops? Then it's only a temporary manufacture!
So, Mhammad planned an attack to attract the soldiers of the government army to come out, and then eliminate them on the way, so that the uniforms were there, fresh blood was there, there were wounds, and the wounded soldiers came out.
With these wounded soldiers, Mhammad easily passed through the defense line of the government forces on the periphery and the sentry posts of the Soviet soldiers, because the temporary field hospital was in the town.
In this way, Mhammad came in with people, and he came in with only one task, to kill the supreme commander of the Soviets!
In later combat theories, this is called a decapitation operation, in which small elite troops are dispatched to kill the opponent's commander, leaving the opponent's group leaderless and thus defeating.
Massoud and Durani, with the remaining partisans, were still fighting guerrillas in Badakhshan Province, attracting the attention of the Soviet troops, and the valley was very empty with only a group of government troops and a small number of Soviet guard units.
When he was on the hillside, Mhammad carefully observed this place, the Soviets' tanks and other equipment were parked in the field outside, and the defense work here was so tight, it must be a temporary command post of the Soviets, and the most conspicuous building here was the town government in the center of the town, even the roof was full of sentinels, and you could see a few antennas erected in the middle of the courtyard, it must be the headquarters!
Afghanistan is not a lamb to be slaughtered, although the USSR at this time was still a huge red empire, and the Afghans were not afraid! Aggressor, go or die!
With the dozen men, Mhammad quietly advanced through the streets of the town.
There was a sound of footsteps in front, and Mhammad raised his right hand, and the people behind him, following Mhammad, lay on the side of the low wall.
A group of patrolling soldiers, sturdy military boots and guns, walked past their eyes, and the leader of the group held a flashlight and kept shining in all directions.
If it hits your own people, you can only attack in advance. Each one gently put their index finger on the trigger and waited.
The flashlight didn't shine on this side, and the group of soldiers continued on to the street ahead.
Mhammad breathed a sigh of relief, if the battle started from here, those people in the command headquarters would have been warned, maybe they would have run away in advance, and their attack would not have been completed perfectly.
A few more streets were walked, and the rumbling sound of diesel generators was heard in front, the lights were bright, and the command headquarters had arrived. (To be continued......)
