We quickly entered into the process of cooperation with the US military base.

In fact, the number of people in our two bases is not large, and the structure is not complicated, so it is not complicated to cooperate...... To put it simply, it is actually to let those instructors of the US military come to our base to study or understand...... The things to learn are the usage and points to pay attention to in our army's 56 Chong or AK47, and the other is which subjects to focus on when training guerrillas, and by the way, to understand the terrain and conditions of Afghanistan.

Naturally, these things are not something I need to care about, and I just leave them all to Zhao Jingping to do...... There are still many fighters who do not understand or even oppose this aspect of mine, even Zhao Jingping is no exception.

According to them...... Isn't this US imperialist our enemy? Moreover, the Yankees didn't show us a good face in this place, and they didn't leave us a single guerrilla force when they robbed all the guerrillas, so why didn't they say that they cooperated with us at that time? What's wrong? Now we have won the battle...... The guerrillas are all running away from us, so let's talk about cooperation?!

When the fighters say that, I think it tastes a little bit like that...... We fought that victory, especially after Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan...... In fact, we didn't even touch the wall in Kabul, and in the direction of Kabul was the army of Agil's feint.

But the Afghan guerrillas didn't care so much, they spread the word from east to west, and we almost recaptured Kabul with only two or three companies, killing and wounding thousands of Soviet troops, and even the Soviet helicopters were knocked out of two and the rest fled into the wilderness......

That's when I realized that every unit would exaggerate the results of the battle...... But this is not surprising, especially with the current situation in Afghanistan...... The whole country was under the control of the Soviet army, and they could basically be said to be destroyed. The only thing that could be done was to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains with rudimentary weapons against the Soviet army or government forces...... And the guerrilla war is not going well. Although the Soviet army could not do anything with them. But they also had nothing to do with the Soviet army, and on the other hand, they had to be pressed by Soviet helicopters and attack aircraft from time to time...... So there is no need to talk about the negative emotions such as depression, depression, and anger in my heart.

So, they need the stimulus of victory, and they also need to use it to boost their confidence and break the myth of the invincibility of the Soviet army...... It's just that such a victory has never happened...... Some of the previous victories had been small victories in sneak attacks or victories against government forces.

It's different when we win this battle...... We were fighting the Soviets in real combat, and we were fighting Soviet mechanized infantry...... This result is like a stimulant that makes the Afghan guerrillas ecstatic, and then when the news is spread, it is inevitable that they will add a little oil and vinegar, one by one...... Soon it became more and more exaggerated!

Later, even refugees came to our base and asked...... "Dear Chinese friend, I heard that you have repelled the Soviet troops...... Can we go home? ”

Alas...... If the Soviet army was so easily repulsed by us...... Then we wouldn't be standing here at all.

With the spread of this "rumor". As a result, Afghan guerrillas have heard of it everywhere, including some guerrillas who were originally trained at US military bases......

In addition, the set of training of the US military is indeed not applicable to the Afghan battlefield, as Smith said...... On the one hand, the equipment was not adapted to the soil, and on the other hand, the training methods were not correct, which directly led to the heavy casualties of the guerrillas trained by the US military in this sweep......

Later, I heard Hassan say that among the guerrillas fighting the Soviet army on Lake Dahar there were many guerrillas trained by the American army...... The American equipment they used frequently broke down, and the tactical attacks taught to them by American instructors were inflicted heavy casualties under Soviet artillery fire and aerial liliang.

These Colonels Smith didn't tell me...... I think this is what he calls the dignity of American soldiers!

However, just because Smith didn't say it doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist...... The Afghan guerrillas found out at the cost of their lives, and we fought a beautiful war of annihilation...... As a result, they all "turned against each other" and switched to our Chinese base.

This will overwhelm our staff officers and soldiers...... Batches are registered, organized, and then assigned to instructors for training......

From this point of view, I feel a little sorry for the trust of these guerrillas. Because I want Hassan's troops to sit big and strong...... The only way to deal with other guerrillas is that the quality of training is actually similar to that of the US military. It's all a month and a half.

But now Afghanistan trusts Chinese bases, so US military bases are crowded...... The rest of the troops are almost all drug dealers...... They're selling Yankee's equipment for money!

So it's no wonder that the fighters would oppose cooperation with the Yankees...... Chinese there is a saying that "if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust", and that's how the Yankees did to us in the first place...... Now is the time for us to raise our eyebrows, and where we talk about cooperation, we will cooperate.

But what is clear...... There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking for everyone, but it would be too premature for an army, especially ours, to have such an idea.

"That's not right for you to think that!" The instructor played his role at this time: "Do you know what comrade means? A comrade is a like-minded person...... Let's not always look at problems with an individualistic mentality, but should put the interests of the country and the people first! I want you to think about a few questions...... Are the Yankees aiming the same as ours now? Can you call yourself a like-minded comrade? Is it good for our country, for our people, to cooperate with the Yankees? ”

As soon as the instructor said this, the soldiers were speechless...... These questions are not difficult to answer, and even the soldiers who do not have much culture know very well that the Yankees are doing the same thing as us, and the purpose is the same......

So the problem was solved so easily, and no one had any doubts about the question of "cooperation...... Even the instructor concluded: "Helping Americans is helping ourselves!" Therefore, the soldiers can be said to "know everything and say everything" to those American instructors who come to our base to study or understand the situation.

What I need to care about...... It was the communication with Smith and a few U.S. military staff officers.

"The main problem is air defense!" I got straight to the point and threw this question out: "The Soviet Air Force completely mastered air supremacy, if it was just a fighter, it would be better to say...... Fighter jets have limited time in the air, and helicopter gunships are even more troublesome...... We've fought with it, so it's clear that this gunship has a lot of firepower, it's very well protected, we have two helicopters in ambush with Jihua, but we let it run away from one, and it can also carry infantry...... On the other hand, the Afghan guerrillas do not have any air liliang and no weapons that can shoot it down, which will undoubtedly put the guerrillas into a great passivity! ”

"We know a little bit about that, too!" Smith nodded: "This gunship is called Mi-24...... It uses a Gatling gun and can carry 1,000 kilograms of explosives, missiles, or rockets, and the firepower is really formidable......"

As soon as I heard Smith's words, I knew that the U.S. military had long had detailed data on the Mi-24...... This is not surprising, the United States has always regarded the Soviet Union as the number one enemy, so it is no secret that the United States and the Soviet Union sent spies to each other to steal intelligence.

"We can consider equipping the partisans with some anti-aircraft machine guns or small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery!" A US military staff officer said: "Although the protection of the Mi-24 is excellent, the anti-aircraft machine gun and anti-aircraft artillery can still be dealt with!" ”

I couldn't help but smile and shook my head: "The problem is that anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery are not suitable for mountainous areas, nor for guerrilla ...... It is already difficult to walk in the mountains, and it is also difficult to resupply the troops in the mountains...... How many anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery could the partisans be armed with in this case? Even if it's equipped...... How to solve the problem of the supply of bullets and shells? And how to maneuver anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery? If you can't maneuver...... That means that any air defense position that has been painstakingly built can only be used once, because after one use, it ...... Soon it will be destroyed by Soviet artillery or air liliang! ”

These problems are actually obvious...... If it could be solved with anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, then I would not have brought it up here at all...... Don't China have these things?

But the question is whether these things will be applicable in the mountains, and also in guerrilla warfare...... You know, we even have mortars that are light. The reason why the US military staff officers do not understand these ...... It's because they haven't been to the mountains of Afghanistan to experience it firsthand.

"So......" Smith said after a moment of silence, "there is only one choice...... Portable anti-aircraft missiles! ”

I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart...... It's finally here, and it's your words that I'm waiting for.

On the other hand, I pretended to be confused and asked: "MANPADS?" What is this? Is it suitable for guerrilla warfare? ”

"Perfectly suited!" Smith explained: "This anti-aircraft missile is only a dozen pounds, light in weight and small in size...... It's a single weapon, just like ...... Anti-tank missiles! ”

"Oh! And this thing! I pretended to be surprised and delighted and said, "So what are you waiting for, this is it!" ”

"Hmm!" Smith nodded: "I'll report this matter to the United States right away, if it goes well...... It will be shipped here in a few days! (To be continued......)
