Chapter 132: Psychological Warfare
The battle ended in just over half an hour...... As I expected, the Alpha Force was crushed by the Secret Service Company...... This is not a pure comparison of qualities, but "being prepared to fight unprepared" and "attacking the weaknesses of the other with one's strengths", that is, using the strengths of the special agent company to fight the shortcomings of the alpha troops.
So when the smoke gradually cleared...... The entire battlefield was littered with the corpses of the Alpha Special Forces, puddles of bright red blood were everywhere on the white snow, and some wounded soldiers were clutching their wounds and screaming......
These wounded soldiers were deliberately left behind by the fighters of the secret service company...... It's not that we're ruthless or inhumane, in fact, we Chinese soldiers can be said to have strict discipline for this, such as not killing prisoners, and three disciplines and eight points of attention...... No army in the world will put these at the strategic level to publicize and educate!
The reason why these screaming wounded soldiers are left behind...... It's because of the need for battle...... That's how infiltration warfare has to be fought!
This is another side of the Chinese military...... That is, if you start a war, you will be as ruthless as something......
What are these wounded soldiers left for? No one could see anyone in the smoke, and no one knew whether they were friends or foes on the other side of the road...... This is where the shouting comes in, and it tends to attract a considerable number of Soviets to this side, so there is a tactic in infiltration warfare...... We call him "Siege Reinforcement"!
This trick was learned from the Yue devil...... It is said that when we fought in Vietnam, we suffered a lot of losses in this regard...... In the dark, the Vietnamese devils always wounded a few of our soldiers, but they did not kill them, and then they hid around this wounded soldier and lurked...... The wounded cries out in pain, and the wounded soldiers often don't even know that there is an enemy lurking around them. So the cry for help soon came a team of soldiers...... At this time, the Yue devil hiding in the shadows only needs to pull the trigger of the AK47 or light machine gun......
We have a wealth of experience in infiltration warfare...... Of course, at this time, we will not forget to use this method. Not in words...... Is it called "kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself"? The enemy is still an enemy before he surrenders...... If you are an enemy, you should be cruel. As a result, when the agents start fighting, they often cripple a few in the smoke...... It's easy to do this, as long as you don't hit the vital parts, such as the legs, stomach, arms, etc...... I couldn't die for a while, and then I waited on my stomach in the smoke and snow!
I saw a team of people hurrying over...... Needless to say, it must be the enemy, so it was a row of bullets that "boomed" when the trigger was pulled...... Although the Alpha troops are well-trained, when have they ever heard of this tactic...... So the pieces were killed by the soldiers of the secret service company before they resisted!
This is also the reason why the corpses of the Soviet Alpha units that we see now are very regular...... There will always be a pile of corpses around each wounded soldier!
And what about the fighters of our secret service company? It was already hidden in the fortifications of the tunnels that had withdrawn to the mortar positions before the smoke cleared!
So the rest ...... Only the Soviets were in the air, and helicopters circled the corpses...... They still seem unwilling to accept this reality, and even can't believe that their elite special forces combined with their powerful air power ...... It was all wiped out in the blink of an eye. There is not even a chance to be rescued!
But what can they do? Without the cooperation of the ground troops, they also knew that the bombardment of the road with only air power could not do anything to the guerrillas hiding in the tunnel fortifications!
The opposite...... It was the cheers of the guerrillas in the mortar positions of our army...... Basically no one in the guerrillas knew that we still had this future, and there were even some people who had ideas about my arrangements...... It's just that these thoughts were temporarily suppressed by the grassroots commanders, and then they suddenly realized...... It turned out that we were planning to do this, so the mood quickly turned from low to excited...... This gap was even greater than that of the partisans who had already firmly believed in us, so the cheers were particularly frenzied!
Of course...... As is customary, they still fired a few bullets into the air...... It only hurts my heartache! You must know that this is the time when we have difficulty in supplying in the Xijieo Valley, and these bullets were all exchanged for the lives of the logistics staff, but they were wasted like this!
But think about it...... Feeling that this was acceptable, some ammunition was wasted, but it increased the morale and confidence of the partisans to resist the Soviet troops. That's not a bad thing!
"Let Ragil shout!" I said to Zhao Jingping.
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping answered and passed the order through the walkie-talkie.
Next Second...... Ragil stood out of the trench in a majestic manner, holding a small horn and shouting at the helicopters in stiff Russian: "Soviets...... We are a disciplined and honest army! The battle is over...... We allow you to send five helicopters to rescue the wounded and remove the bodies...... The condition is that the helicopter, as well as all personnel, are not allowed to carry weapons. We don't shoot! ”
This is actually what we Chinese soldiers often do...... If you let the Afghan guerrillas think...... They wanted to smash the corpses, not to mention the wounded!
But in fact, we do this for a reason...... Now the leaders of the Soviet army are faced with a dilemma:
Really, as we said, we will honestly carry the corpses and treat the wounded soldiers...... That's too much, a Soviet superpower...... But the guerrillas were asked to make conditions and unconditional obedience, and after a fiasco...... I can't imagine how big a blow to the morale of the entire army will be!
But if you don't...... For example, it would be against morality to sneak up with a weapon, and a superpower would use this kind of trick to fight a guerrilla force.
Just ignore it...... Not at all! That's your own troops...... They sacrificed their lives for the motherland on the battlefield, and some of them even had the possibility of surviving if they were transported back for treatment now...... Can that be ignored? If this is left unattended...... I'm afraid that the whole army will start to rebel immediately, because those who serve as soldiers are not fools...... If the government can do this to those sacrificed comrades-in-arms now, then it will definitely do the same to itself! Can this battle still be fought? Is it worth fighting for such a government?
Another benefit of this is ...... If we look down on the Soviet army from a moral standpoint, we will win the favor of the Soviet army and thus weaken their murderous intentions, and if we shoot the wounded soldiers or do not let them recover the corpses...... On the contrary, it will arouse the anger of the Soviet army, so that they only want to rush forward to avenge their comrades!
So it's actually a kind of psychological warfare...... And this psychological warfare doomed us to the upper hand from the very beginning, because it was based on a victory!
The Soviets did not seem to have much choice...... After a moment of silence, he replied in Persian: "We are grateful to our Afghan comrades for their observance of the Geneva agreements, and we will treat the wounded on your terms, in order to show our sincerity...... We'll pause all attacks in other directions! ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart...... Sure enough, it is worthy of the Soviet Union, and it really has a set of political tricks, saying that our voluntary release is the Geneva agreement...... The implication is that this is what we should do, and on the other hand, it seems to repay us...... The Soviets also stopped the offensive, so no one owes anyone anything!
But the truth is...... Now that the Soviets are newly defeated, and the Alpha troops, which are still the main force of the attack, can almost be said to have been completely annihilated by us, how can it be said that the Soviets will have to wait a few more days for their morale to recover or think of new tactics before they start attacking...... This has become a love for us!
But I can't argue with these things, so I don't take them seriously...... The truth on the battlefield still has to be solved by fists in the end!
Then the Soviets sent five unarmed helicopters to rescue the wounded...... The Soviets will not deny this, and the great powers must also have some great powers, if this is spread to the international community...... Where can they put their faces, not to mention that even if they play tricks, it won't make a difference...... Just now, a large number of helicopters and a company of alpha troops cooperated to attack and failed to take down this place, even if these five helicopters have great ability, they are still grasshoppers shaking big trees!
The helicopter was followed by several Soviet military doctors, as well as some stretcher bearers...... The first thing they had to do, of course, was to find the wounded who were still alive, to rescue them as necessary, and then to carry them back to the helicopter.
The problem is just ...... Those wounded were very close to our mortar positions...... The Alpha troops rushed to a place more than 100 meters away from our army's position before the special agent company launched the offensive, so the Alpha wounded were basically distributed in this area...... So those military doctors were a little twisted...... I don't think I dare to come up!
I can understand that...... The Soviets had repeatedly fallen victim to Afghan guerrillas, and even their allies, the Afghan government forces, were considered "untrustworthy", so who could guarantee that these Afghans would not suddenly open fire?
The problem was finally solved until Ragil put down his gun and walked up empty-handed...... It's just that the wretched faces of those Soviet military doctors provoked a burst of ridicule from the Afghan partisans, all of whom bowed their heads and did things with red faces, or ran away with people as if they were running away!
