Chapter 30: Unity

As soon as we got back to the base, the whole shijie was in an uproar...... Actually, when we were in the car, we saw a lot of people around our base, but I don't know what they do.

In fact, they don't know what our team is for...... Because we came by car, we were all crammed into the back compartment and the front was all Pakistani soldiers clearing the way.

So...... It wasn't until we got out of the car that the people reacted and erupted in cheers......

At first, I thought it was Zhang Zuoliang's leak, so I glared at Zhang Zuoliang fiercely...... In order to get information in a timely manner, we always contact the base every few hours, so the base has a clear grasp of our movements, and of course knows when we will return...... But these are all military secrets, can they be leaked out so casually? What if the Soviets get this information and reverse the time we are going to cross the border from the time of our arrival?!

But soon I knew that I was wrong to blame Zhang Zuoliang...... Zhang Zuoliang raised his head aggrievedly and said, "Battalion commander...... I know, you must have thought I leaked it! ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Zuoliang put on an expression that was more wronged than Dou E and explained: "They are all Afghans...... Some were refugees, some were guerrillas, and they had been here for a day...... I heard that we had won the battle, and came to us! ”

"How do they know we've won the battle?" I asked rhetorically.

"Who doesn't know!" Zhang Zuoliang replied: "In the whole of Afghanistan, except for the Soviets, we use AK74...... Now I'm afraid that the Soviets will know which unit did it! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, I originally wanted to keep a low profile...... I didn't expect it to make all shijie know.

It's good that the Afghan guerrillas know about it, but the Soviets don't know what will happen...... But whatever! Sooner or later, you have to know. Anyway, the Chinese government says it doesn't know. The Pakistani government insisted that we were mercenaries...... And what could the USSR do? He invaded Afghanistan on his own. How many military advisers can still be allowed?

On the other hand, this is actually a good thing...... Because we originally wanted to fight a war and make a name for ourselves on the battlefield in Afghanistan, so that the Afghan guerrillas would have confidence in us, right?

At this time, Chen Yiyi squeezed over from the crowd and excitedly shook my hand...... Anyway, this behavior should be very common, if Chen Yiyi hadn't lived among us for a period of time and received some "education", according to her previous personality, I am afraid that she would have jumped into my arms a long time ago.

But this scene still made the surrounding Afghans a little unaccustomed...... You must know that they don't allow women to show their faces in front of outsiders, where can they stand such a performance.

Feeling this strange atmosphere, I glanced at Chen Yiyi, and then let go of my hand...... However, Chen Yiyi's face was still a little unhappy.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, Major Rana walked up to me, shook my hand and said, "You have surprised us so much...... You know? Now our whole army is talking about you. We are proud to be at your service! ”

"You also have a share of this honor!" I said, "If it weren't for your help...... We couldn't have done it so smoothly! Thank you for me, the warriors! ”

The Pakistani soldiers standing around quickly let out a burst of cheers.

Our group squeezed into the base amid everyone's congratulations and greetings...... Only then did we have time to carry the wounded fighters for further processing, and let the other fighters go back to the dormitories to rest.

Anyway, at this time, we were all so tired that we were about to lie down...... In the past few days, it has been marching and fighting, and then it has been evading the pursuit of the Soviet army all the way and fleeing for his life...... To be honest, the root cause is that we are not used to resting in the hot weather of Afghanistan.

It's not like we've never experienced a situation like this for several days in a row, and even the intensity of the previous battles was much stronger than this...... But the climate in Vietnam is much better than here, where mosquitoes are the worst thing, but as long as there are mosquito nets, it can be solved...... Therefore, when you are tired from fighting, you will rest, and after resting for a while to recover your strength, you will continue to fight, so that although it is uncomfortable to repeat the cycle, you can still persevere.

But the fighting in Afghanistan is different...... The time to rest is during the day. It's so hot and thirsty that you almost want to kill yourself, let alone sleep in such conditions...... When it's cold at night, you have to march, you have to climb mountains, you have to run for your life. So in the past few days, although there has only been one battle, it is still a small battle with little intensity...... But it left us physically exhausted.

So my staff and I couldn't support it at this time...... I can't stand up when I sit on a chair.

Zhang Zuoliang and a few staff officers who stayed behind hurriedly handed us a kettle...... That's when we think that water is so important, and if there is no air, it will be painful for a few minutes, but without water...... That could be painful for dozens of hours to get to Zuihou.

"Battalion commander!" Zhang Zuoliang said: "I know you need to rest...... But now there is a problem that needs to be solved...... What about the guerrillas outside the base? To accept or not to collect? If you don't accept it, how can you refuse...... What is the method of collection? ”

"Do you need to ask?" Scar interjected, "Of course I took it...... Why don't we come here? ”

Zhang Zuoliang glanced at Hassan...... Then I understood what he was worried about.

Like Hassan said earlier...... The guerrillas were not united within themselves, and some of them were even sworn enemies...... We are already training Hassan's troops, so if we train Hassan's enemies...... And then these guerrillas who train themselves fight themselves, so are we still busy in vain?

"We don't have anything we can't say!" I said frankly: "Our purpose is to fight the Soviet Union, and the purpose of Hassan's army is the same, so there will be no conflict!" ”

"yes!" The instructor said: "There is a saying that suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, they are all their own comrades...... Let's explain! ”

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Hassan interjected, "I can understand that you can't train just one of us...... We are already grateful for your training and help, and we will not ask for too much...... So, Chinese friends...... Do what you have to do and don't worry about our feelings! ”

"Comrade Hassan!" The instructor said, "I think you're mistaken...... What we should do is to consider the feelings of the Afghan people and try our best to organize the Afghan people to unite in the struggle against the aggressor...... This person must be collected, but not everyone can collect it, otherwise the two teams we train will fight themselves...... Isn't that messing up on ourselves? ”

"May Allah bless you!" Hassan was moved to give us a chest push, then frowned and said, "But...... The Afghan guerrillas shili divide each other, and no one obeys the other...... To unite them...... I'm afraid it's not easy! ”

"That's a real problem!" I said, "To the extreme...... The only way to unite these guerrillas is to wage a war of unification and devour all the other guerrillas...... But now this is obviously not possible, and there is no way to do it. What can we do...... It is to form unity within ourselves! ”

"That's right!" Scar agreed, "Obviously...... If we don't unite, we won't be able to fight this battle, and maybe we'll all be caught in it sometime! ”

"So how can we unify it?" Zhao Jingping asked: "Are there any conditions?" Do you have to ally with Hassan's forces to train at our base? ”

"Chinese friends!" Hassan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although it is not a glorious thing, I still have to say it...... Most of the time, this kind of alliance is also a discord between the face and the heart, and when it comes to interests, this kind of alliance can easily turn against each other! ”

"Hassan is right!" I said, "There's only one way...... Help Hassan's force grow bigger and stronger, that is, recruit refugees or anyone who wants to join Hassan's force! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then the instructor nodded and said: "This may be a method, only when the leadership is in the hands of the same organization, it is possible to achieve true unity...... And Hassan's unit is a trustworthy force! ”

"But that's the case...... Will our influence be too narrow! Zhao Jingping frowned and said: "Our purpose is to provide assistance to the entire Afghan guerrillas...... If we only help Hassan's army to become bigger and stronger, it means that we have to reject other guerrillas! ”

"Not necessarily!" I said, "We can do it with both hands...... On the one hand, it is acceptable to any guerrilla unit that wants to receive our training and assistance, but the training time is limited to one and a half months......"

The reason why it is limited to one and a half months is because the US military base is a month and a half of training time...... Although in such a short period of time, I also know that there are no high-quality soldiers to come out, and this part is not for quality, but for the wide distribution, which has a great impact...... So basically, as long as you learn to shoot a gun and learn to maintain, it's almost the same!

"On the other hand!" I continued: "It is to work with Hassan's unit for a long time, to constantly train new recruits for him, and to fight with him...... In time, Hassan's troops will gain considerable prestige on the battlefield, and the number of refugees and even other guerrillas who will come to take refuge will increase......"

"Oh!" The warriors couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement. (To be continued......)
