Chapter 113: Rescuing the Hostages
"We now have two regiments of troops, plus a regiment of the government army, more than 4,000 people, and set up three lines of defense." Belgrade said: "Now, as long as we have built a separation zone here, none of the guerrillas surrounded by us can escape." β
In front of him, there was the new division commander Dorofiev, who was very lucky compared to his predecessor Kulikov, who had such great feats in a few months.
Now, in the entire territory of Afghanistan, the most troublesome thing is the guerrillas, if the locusts are like this, they are making chaos everywhere, attacking convoys, attacking outposts, the last time Kulikov went to the mountains to encircle and suppress, it cost countless people, but the effect was not ... It's not completely out of the question, for example, Kulikov paid for his own life.
Dorofiev also did not have much talent, he was transferred from Eastern Europe to take over as division commander here and carry out the operation to exterminate the partisans.
His luck was not ordinarily good, and now, the fall of the northern guerrillas was at hand.
"Don't be in a hurry, steady and steady." "We have to dig the barrier before it gets dark, and the partisans will probably break through this evening," Dorofeev said. β
What Dorofeev has is patience, anyway, those guerrillas are surrounded, and now, what he needs to think about is to kill all the partisans at the smallest cost, and not one of them can be let go.
"Report, there are snipers on the opposite side, interfering with our operation to establish the barrier." Just then, a voice spoke.
Sniper? Dorofeev frowned: "Why don't you use firepower to destroy?" Don't be stressed. β
To deal with snipers, they have always been bombarded with artillery, and since the other party dares to send out snipers, they must cover all the places where there are snipers with artillery fire, although they will accidentally injure the civilians inside, then they can't care so much.
Report. We can't cover it with artillery fire. β
"Why?"
"The doctors, nurses, and patients in our hospital are being taken hostage, and they are on the front line, if we use artillery fire. will hurt them by mistake. β
"What?" All the people in the room were suddenly shocked, hateful guerrillas!
They can not care about the lives of those humble Afghan locals, but they must not care about the lives of the Soviets, especially in the hospital in Jalalabad, there is also a very important doctor, the youngest daughter of the commander of the Far Eastern Military District, General Trekov!
If he can't save Elena's life, or even if Ilena is defiled by those damned guerrillas. will make Dorofeev's future bleak.
Always thinking about how to kill all the partisans, but ignoring such an important matter, Dorofeev was sluggish and rescued by force? The people in the hospital were taken to the periphery, and who knows under which house Elena was hiding!
"Khurniaeva, please." Dorofiev said.
This kind of thing, or the KGB people are more sophisticated, and now, Dorofiev around. There was a KGB intelligence officer who could just come and ask.
Soon. Kurnyeva arrived at the temporary headquarters set up in the original 117th Regiment Headquarters, but Kurnyeva was not alone, she also brought another middle-aged man.
This man is taller, his face is well-defined, he has not shaved for a few days, and his cheeks have grown thick short beards. This is a Pashtun.
"Comrade Division Commander, this is our main helper who was able to eliminate the guerrillas this time, Mr. Nicopuding." "It was he who persuaded the top Afghan coalition in Peshawar to launch an offensive against Jalalabad and concentrate all the guerrillas in northern Afghanistan," Kurnieva told Dorofiev. We'll solve it all at once. β
Dorofeev already knew about this matter, but he had not seen Nikopuding himself, and thought that in the chaos of last night, Nikopuding was injured by mistake, and now he saw Nikopuding standing in front of him, Dorofeev said: "Your Excellency Nikopuding, you are a friend of our Soviets, our friendship is eternal, and the Afghan government also has the position of deputy foreign minister, I can say hello to Kabul, you will be the minister of Afghanistan in the future." β
Nikopuding's heart is very uncomfortable, if he had been asked to choose again, he would never have had any relationship with this woman next to him!
Later, when visiting the Wèn refugee camp, Nicopuding met Aisha, a girl who escaped from Kabul, and was very sympathetic to what happened to this girl, and unknowingly, fell in love with Aisha and had many skin kisses.
At the head of the bed, Nikopuding said a lot about the internal affairs of the Union, and at the time he didn't think so, but now he finally knows that this woman turned out to be a KGB person!
But later, Nikopudin couldn't find Aisha, and every street in Peshawar was searched, and Aisha was not found, and Nikopudding was very sad and lost.
Of course, he didn't know that at that time, Aisha had followed Mhammad, and Aisha had a new prey. And Aisha didn't know that she herself was the prey of Mhammad.
A few months ago, Aisha reappeared and told SΓΉ Nicopudin that she had returned to Afghanistan, where she joined a partisan detachment to fight the Soviets! Moreover, Aisha analyzed the situation in Afghanistan and concentrated the guerrillas in the north, and it was completely possible to recapture Jalalabad!
Nikopuddin believed it, and it happened that at that time the coalition was not convinced by the preemption of Tehran, and after hearing Nikopuding's analysis, the coalition immediately decided to launch an attack and occupy Jalalabad! As a messenger, Nikobuddin personally came to the various guerrillas to give orders, especially the Panjshir guerrillas and the Jalalabad guerrillas.
Outcome... During the ambush, Nikopudin discovered that it was a trap, and at that time, he wanted to die on the battlefield with him, but when the bullet flew by his scalp, he suddenly changed his mind, and it was obviously better to live.
Not wiped out by the Hind helicopter, Nikopuding crashed into the hands of a group of Soviet soldiers, and before being brought to the car, Nikopuding finally saw Aisha, no, Aisha at this time, was already called Eva, she turned out to be Soviet!
It's more important to be alive, and Nikopudin accepts this reality, although he is forced to do so, but the facts cannot be changed.
"Thank you, Commander." Nicopudin said, hunched low: "I will do my best to contribute to maintaining the stability of the situation in Afghanistan." β
"Now, we have one thing." "The rebels fled to the hospital and took our doctors, nurses, patients, hostage," Dorofeev said. With these people, we cannot annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop. β
Dorofeev had not yet thought of a solution, the man in front of him had defected from the Union and was very familiar with the partisans, so maybe there was a solution.
Nikopudin knows that this is the other party testing himself, if he is incompetent, he can't think of any way, he won't be reused by the other party, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, what's the use? Now, almost all Western countries, even those in the East, do not recognize the current Afghan government, and the diplomatic service has nothing to do.
What to do? Mhammad is very cunning, taking those Soviets as hostages, just to prevent the attack of the Soviet army, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to give up these hostages, so what can be done to save these distinguished Soviet friends?
"What if the Soviets sent in the air force? The Soviets will not fight street battles, the Soviets will use large incendiary bombs to turn Jalalabad into a sea of fire, the Soviets will use thermobaric bombs to turn Jalalabad into ruins, and when the time comes, their armored units can easily crush up, and Jalalabad will become the grave of all our partisans! β
"The Soviets will do it, and we, the guerrillas of Afghanistan, will be the culprits for leading the inhabitants of Jalalabad to suffer this catastrophe!
These words of Mhammad echoed in Nikopuding's mind one by one, and he suddenly figured out that there were still a large number of original residents in the current encirclement!
When Mhammad occupied there, it was equivalent to bringing the flames of war to the inhabitants there, and if Mhammad wanted to establish a positive image of him, he would not watch those residents be bombarded by the Soviets and killed as rebels.
That's an opportunity!
Thinking of this, Nikobudin said: "Mr. Division, I have a way, we can negotiate with the guerrillas on the opposite side and ask them to release our innocent medical staff and patients. β
"How could they possibly negotiate with us?" Without waiting for Dorofiev to speak, Eva on the side asked.
"Because there are still a large number of civilians in our encirclement, and those civilians will be implicated at the beginning of the battle." Nikobudin said: "As long as the guerrillas on the opposite side agree to our demand, we can agree to open the encirclement and let those civilians come out, so that it will also facilitate our attack, and when we rush up again, there is no need to worry about the civilians, those who remain in the encirclement are all guerrillas." β
"How do we know that all the people who come out are civilians, what if there are guerrillas in it?" Belgrade asked.
"We just agreed to release it, and we can be temporarily detained." Nikobudin said: "When there are only guerrillas left, we don't have to rush in and fight street battles, we just use artillery and planes to completely destroy this place." β
As soon as Nicopudding said this, the eyes of everyone in the room lit up.
"We're missing one person." Eva said, "Who to send over to negotiate?" (To be continued......)
