Chapter 129: Escalation of conflict

Dressed in white, the medical staff kept searching in the rubble, but unfortunately, each one of them had turned into cold corpses.

A large pit on the ground, centered on the ruins of this tent, radiated to the surrounding dozens of meters, many people were injured, and the people who were more than ten meters away from the center were corpses, and if they got closer, they were not even people, just clumps of minced meat.

"Sayaf, Harris, Delelle... You, you have obeyed Allah's call, and I will take up your banner and drive the Soviets out of our land! Gulbuddin stood in front of the ruins and said firmly, his eyes red, trying not to let the tears remain.

If it weren't for the help of a chili pepper, he wouldn't even be able to turn red under his eyes, how could Gul Pudding cry now, he wouldn't have had time to laugh.

The Soviets' plane came too timely, if it had been a minute earlier, even Gulbudding would have turned into a pile of minced meat, and now, these opponents of him have all turned into minced meat, and Gulpuding, who was taken away and almost became a prisoner, is still alive and well, and the top of the alliance is gone, and Gulbudding is the person with the most status.

This time, let's see who else will come with you to grab the position of commander of the Free Afghan Army! Commanding such an army, when the war is over, he will become the most powerful person in Afghanistan, and the position of president of Afghanistan will definitely be his own!

The necessary table is still to be had, and now, Gulbudin is here to mourn his dead comrades, and at the same time prepare to start his new journey.

"The camp was bombed, and the top brass of the Islamic League of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan died, except for Nikobudin." At the division headquarters in Peshawar, in the commander's office, Musha'f said to Mhammad, who hurried back.

It was Musha'f who summoned Mhammad back when he heard that there had been an air battle. Musha'f was also very concerned, and when he saw that Mhammad's trip was at the radar station at the time, he found him.

The results of the airstrikes were constantly reported to Musha'af, and when he learned that the top level of the coalition had been bombed, Musha'af's brow furrowed.

"It's best to be blown up." Muhammad said nonchalantly: "These people are greedy for life and afraid of death. In the name of commanding in the rear, how can they command if they are not on the front line? They were all a bunch of villains, but unfortunately they didn't take it with Gul Pudding. ”

"Mhammad, sometimes, what you think in your heart, you can't say that, otherwise, it will cause unnecessary trouble." Musha'af said. In the face of this young man, Musha'f has always been very tolerant of this young man, as if he were his own brother.

Rising on the battlefield in Afghanistan, Mhammad is not very familiar with the rear, and dealing with these problems requires even more skill.

"I know." "I'm just telling you, outsiders, of course, have to mourn deeply. It's a pity for Gulbudding, this man. Will definitely go to the Free Army of Afghanistan. ”

It's a pity that Gulbuddin went there, and he couldn't control the army at all, and the only one who could control such a strong army was Mhammad, who was also born in the army.

Mhammad is not worried.

"The Islamabad side gave an order, after the discovery of the Soviets' warplanes. It had to be reported level by level, and this time the regulations were violated, and they took off directly to meet the enemy, and there was also an exchange of fire. Musha'f said: "Chief of Staff, I heard that you gave the order?" ”

"Yes. That's what I ordered. "Our warplanes should defend our airspace over Pakistan, and if we can't even fire if the Soviets fly over us and drop bombs, then what's the use of our air force?" This time, the top brass of the alliance were all killed, and if we didn't shoot down and wound one of each plane, how would we account to the people? How do we account for the Afghan refugees who trust us? How to explain to the world? ”

Musha'af listened a little big, this Mhammad only knows how to fight, he doesn't know how to think about everything, and he has no strategic vision.

"Chief of Staff, do you know that this may lead to an escalation of the war." Mushaaf said: "The Soviets invaded Afghanistan despite the opposition of the international community in order to realize the Soviets' strategy of gaining access to the Indian Ocean south!" ”

This is a discerning person who knows at a glance, the Soviet Union has a vast territory and great influence, but until now, the Soviets have still not been able to show their existence in the Indian Ocean, when they were still Tsarist Russia, they formulated a strategy to get through to Afghanistan and obtain a southward passage. The Soviet Union inherited the mantle of Tsarist Russia, and for them, by extending their hands to the Indian Ocean, they could achieve more strategic objectives, avoid the Western encirclement in Western Europe, and obtain new passages.

Now, the Soviets have taken Afghanistan, but Afghanistan does not border the Indian Ocean, and if the Soviets want to go south, they need to use Pakistan or Iran, that is, the Soviets want to open another opening from them.

When the Soviets occupied Afghanistan, Pakistan was trying to avoid direct combat with the Soviets, and if the war escalated, the Soviets would probably move east and then south, completely opening the Indian Ocean.

This is a matter of strategy, and Mhammad has become the chief of staff of the military district, and he must have such a vision. Musha'f took good care of Mhammad, but now when it comes to business, it is absolutely ruthless, and he will say whatever he wants.

"Yes, we're just going to let things escalate." Mhammad said: "The Soviets have already dragged down their war potential by attacking Afghanistan, and if they really dare to attack us, they will have to go back in disgrace!" We have a full army, but Afghanistan is not as vulnerable to aggression. ”

It's a good thing, but... There seems to be something in this?

"The Soviets did not dare to invade us on a large scale, and the most they could do was to increase the scale of their air strikes, which would be beneficial to us." "It will strengthen our air force," Mhammad said. ”

Strengthen your own air force? How is this possible! Once a large-scale air war breaks out with the Soviets, one's own air strength will be rapidly depleted, and when the air force is depleted to a critical point, India in the east will certainly be eager to make any moves, and the more than ten years of war between India and Pakistan will still be deeply imprinted in Musha's mind.

"Our fleet is too old, and most of the fighters are J-6." "The latest fighter is the F-16, but it hasn't been shipped from the U.S. yet, the pilots are still being modified and trained, and our air force is at a big disadvantage in terms of equipment, so this is an opportunity," Mhammad said. ”

Mhammad is confident.

"It is reported that the Bagram side has taken off a fleet of aircraft, the main forces are MiG-21 and MiG-23, which are flying towards the east." An adjutant hurried in and said.

In order to prevent the Soviets from attacking by surprise, in addition to setting up lookout posts in his own mountainous areas, Mhammad deployed several intelligence officers on the outskirts of Bagram and asked them to monitor the Soviets' aircraft group.

In later generations, the Americans had not yet started air strikes, and as soon as the aircraft group took off, some good deeds posted a take-off video on the website, and they were able to calculate the exact moment of the Americans' air raids according to the time, and it was very useful to arrange one or two lookout posts in key places.

The MiG-21 and MiG-23, both mainly in air combat, were apparently the Soviets who wanted to retaliate for the events of the morning, and it is almost conceivable that Turkmenistan must have also taken off fighters and wanted to come for a sneak attack.

"Immediately inform Peshawar and Samangeli that the Soviets are about to invade, and all warplanes will be lifted into the air and cruising the border." Mhammad said.

"Yes." The adjutant wanted to go down, but was stopped by Mushaaf: "Only two patrol planes will take off, and the rest will be ready to take to the air at any time." ”

The range of the J-6 is not high, the combat radius is small, if it is lifted into the air now, it will waste precious fuel, and when it comes to fighting the Soviets, maybe it will suffer due to lack of fuel, Mushaaf thought a lot.

"No, all in the air." "Commander, believe me, as long as we all take to the air and take a good fighting posture, the Soviets will have a choice," Muhammad said. ”

Perhaps it was Musha'd's self-confidence that infected Musha'af, or perhaps Musha'f convinced that Musha'd was right, and the order was given quickly.

The 15 Squadron of the Peshawar Military Region is under the jurisdiction of the Peshawar Military Region, and the 23 Squadron of the Samangeli Air Force Base is not under their direct jurisdiction, they just received a friendly reminder, even so, when the bells of war rang, the 23 Squadron of Samungri still made its own choice, boarded the fighters, and took off!

The silver wings, so dazzling in the sun, filled with fuel, hung up with retested AIM-9P missiles, and the cannon was also stuffed with shells, the J-6 constantly rose from the runway of the airport, and in the air formation, the large group of aircraft began to cruise along the border line violently.

At the same time, the emergency was quickly reported to two long-range early warning radar stations in Islamabad, Landikta and Alawali districts, where the Soviets were massing over the northern part of Jalalabad, numbering more than forty, as if they could cross the border at any moment.

The air bases in the rear of Pakistan sounded the alarm one after another, and a large number of Jian-6 and Mirage-3 fighters took off from other airfields and flew towards the western border line.

A large-scale air battle seems to be about to break out, and once the exchange of fire begins, both sides will definitely lose their fighters, and this will also announce that the Soviet Union and Pakistan have officially entered a state of war, which will have far-reaching and lasting consequences on both sides.

At this time, Muhammad was sitting in front of Musha'af, calmly drinking a bowl of milk tea. (To be continued......)
