Chapter Seventy-Nine: Destroying the Arrogance of Fahim
Mohammed-Fahim, Massoud's assistant, later after, after Massoud was assassinated in a suicide bombing, Fahim succeeded Massoud as the military leader of the Northern Alliance, and the relationship between the two was established in the current war of resistance against the Soviet Union.
Fahim is also a Tajik, and this man is much more widely evaluated in later generations, some say that he is the most influential Afghan military strategist, political zhì family, and others say that he is a brutal warlord and executioner. In conclusion, the personality of this person is complex.
Unruly, moreover, the national plot is heavier.
Now, when this man hears Mhammad talk about unity, he immediately speaks to the most poignant issue, co-optation.
If two guerrilla units join forces to fight together, then there can only be one leader, and who to listen to, and this is a question of military power.
Hearing Fahim say this, Lamal immediately came up to relieve the siege: "Your Excellency Fahim, Your Excellency Muhammad did not mean this. ”
"Then you're here to join us?" Fahim said: "His Excellency Mhammad has a lot of experience in command, has won many battles, and joined our Panjshir guerrillas, and I will give him my position as the deputy captain. ”
That being said, the implication of the provocation is already obvious, this guy is very repulsive to Mhammad and unwilling to act in solidarity.
Hearing that they were going to take over their own side, the people who followed Mahmad, Hewaja, Osama, and Durrani were all dissatisfied, and they came over to unite and fight the Soviets together, this guy in front of him really didn't know what to do!
Mhammad watched quietly, although Massoud reprimanded just now, but this Fahim didn't care, obviously, the two of them had a red face and a white face, in fact, they wanted to give themselves a disadvantage.
Thinking of this, Mhammad couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart, if it weren't for Massoud's name, if it weren't for the fact that Afghanistan would no longer have civil strife, Mhammad would not be willing to come to this troubled water at all.
On Fahim's back, carrying that rifle, it was not simple, although it was an old-fashioned gun, but with a scope on it, Mhammad knew that this guy must also be a sniper, this kind of person is very proud.
Then hit the pride of such people!
Fahim made Mhammad feel very unhappy, and for such a person, he should be hit from what he is best at!
"Your Excellency Fahim, your marksmanship is very accurate, right?" Mhammad asked.
"Of course, this gun of mine was left to me by my father, and I used it to eliminate thirteen Soviets, and for each one I eliminated, I carved a line on the handle of this gun." Fahim was triumphant, took the gun off his back, and showed Mhammad the thin line on the handle of the gun, which the sniper was most proud of.
"Ahem, ahem." Behind Mhammad, Hewaja coughed twice and untied the rifle he was carrying, the handle of this SVD rifle was already full of bayonet marks, dozens of them!
"The handle of my gun was too rowed, and later, I didn't engrave it on it." Hewaja said.
Looking at the handle of Hewaja's gun, Fahim's eyes suddenly flashed with some strangeness, anger, jealousy, unconvinced, all kinds of feelings.
"This is also a sniper, how about we compete?" Fahim said.
Hewaja glanced at Mhammad, who shook his head, and then Hewaja replied: "I'm sorry, every bullet in my gun chamber is reserved for the Soviets." ”
鄙shì, this is absolutely 鄙shì! With exasperation on his face, Fahim suddenly raised his gun.
"Quack, quack." In the sky, a raven flew high over.
"Bang." Raising the gun, aiming, shooting, all in one go, Fahim barely took aim and pulled the trigger.
The raven in the sky, flapping its wings vigorously in the sound of gunfire, had just flapped twice, and then screamed and fell from the sky.
Several Panjshir guerrillas immediately ran over the hillside to pick up the raven that had been knocked down.
"Luckily, I'll be able to drink crow soup in a while." Fahim said.
"Yes, yes, Brother Fahim, your marksmanship is really good." Mhammad said, "In that case, let's communicate, Hewaja, and you can also catch a bird and make a pot." ”
After being with Mhammad for so long, Hewaja can also cooperate with Mhammad tacitly, hearing what Mhammad said, Hewaja immediately nodded in agreement, did not take out a gun, but took out a black cloth from his clothes.
Fahim's face grew ugly, and he watched as Hewaja blindfolded himself before he picked up his gun.
SVD rifles of the Soviets! Dedicated sniper rifle! Fahim had actually captured it in battle before, but after comparison, he found that the accuracy was not as accurate as his ancestral bolt-action rifle, so he continued to use his old gun.
Fahim seemed to be understating just now, but in fact he was already engrossed, and the person in front of him actually wanted to beat blindfolded, how could this be?
Hewaja knew that he must not embarrass the instructor, his sniping ability was innate, and the acquired training was taught by the instructor step by step, so that his sniping level has been greatly improved.
Sniping is accurate calculation! Calculate the speed of the wind, calculate the speed of the opponent's movement and the speed of your own bullets, and let them have a close contact at the same time and in the same place!
"Quack, quack." Another bird flew by, and Hewaja raised his gun, and the muzzle of the gun followed the bird's turn, and then pulled the trigger.
"Dah." With the sound of gunshots, the bird, with it, fell from the sky.
How can it be? Even Massoud on the side was startled, this can hit with his eyes closed?
"The goal is too big." Mhammad said: "Another one." ”
With that, Muhammad took out a coin from his chest and threw it far into the sky.
"Dah." There was another crisp sound, and the coins in the sky made a soft jingling sound.
The coin fell at Fahim's feet, and he picked it up, and saw a large hole in the middle of the coin, through which the bullet had been left behind, even if he had kept his eyes open and had been engrossed in aiming, Fahim was not sure.
Hewaja untied the black cloth, put the gun back behind him, and said, "It's a pity that two bullets were wasted. ”
Hevaja was very heartbroken, these were all special sniper shells, which were originally used to fight the Soviets, and now, they are wasted.
Fahim's face was full of surprise, and he wanted to rush forward and snatch Hewaja's sniper rifle to see if there was anything strange in his shot, but he finally resisted.
"Allah, your guerrillas can achieve so many victories, it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this sniper is too strong, we admire." Only then did Massoud speak: "I wonder what is the important thing for you to come to the Panjshir Valley this time?" ”
At this time, Massoud still did not accept the mention of unity, and Mahmad knew that he had just come here, and he wanted Massoud to fight side by side with him, which was impossible, comrades-in-arms, people who could safely hand over their backs to each other on the battlefield, and the Tajiks and Pashtuns were not so close to each other.
"We've got the news." "The Soviets have gathered the superior strength of two regiments to enter the Panjshir area to sweep," Mhammad said. ”
The Soviets are coming to sweep again! After a winter break, the Soviets were finally about to go out.
Mhammad was fully prepared, and the mountainous areas north of Jalalabad were already under Mhammad's domain, and he had ample strategic space for the Soviets to fight guerrillas.
Mhammad knew that he had become a thorn in the side of the Soviets, but when he received the news from Jalalabad, he learned that the Soviets had no intention of exterminating themselves, and the main target of the Soviets was in the Panjshir area.
This is the main transportation artery of the Soviets, if the Soviets do not open up here, then the logistics supply will always be in danger, no matter where to launch an offensive, it will require a huge military supply, such as tanks, once sorted, it will consume a lot of fuel.
Two regiments! This means that there will be about 4,000 Soviet troops who will come to sweep this time, and it will definitely be accompanied by government troops, with a total number of more than 5,000.
Getting this news is also the reason why Mhammad came to meet with Massoud.
Sure enough, Massoud's calm expression just now changed to another look, more solemn and solemn.
"Thank you to our friends." "This is timely news, the Soviets want to mop up against us, then we will deal with them in the mountains, they will not be able to consume us," Massoud said. ”
Massoud was an experienced partisan commander, and his ability to grow and develop in the Panjshir region was inseparable from his personal leadership skills, the essence of guerrilla warfare was to protect oneself and destroy the enemy.
When the Soviets arrived, they withdrew, taking advantage of the favorable terrain in the mountains, killing one by one, and when the Soviets were gone, Massoud could take people out of the cave and continue to pack up the Soviet convoys on both sides of the road.
These convoys from the far north were the arteries of the Soviets in Afghanistan.
After saying these words, Massoud looked at Mhammad, fixed his mind, and said, "Your Excellency Mhammad, can I invite you to fight side by side with us?" ”
At this time, it is best to have more strength.
"We are here to fight the Soviets." "Hopefully we can fight together," Mhammad said. ”
In the face of the real threat, Massoud's original rejection mentality has taken over, and the addition of Mhammad's new force can make their guerrilla warfare even better.
At this moment, Massoud heard a sentence from Mhammad, which shocked him.
"Before the Soviets sweep up, I still have an idea, let's the Soviets hard first!"
