Chapter Seventy-Five: A Suspicious Tactic

There were hundreds of guerrillas who came to enlist...... And the number of people is still increasing, which makes me and the instructor and others a little dumbfounded.

You must know that the total number of guerrillas is only a few thousand, and for the sake of secrecy...... This time, we called for a small number of people, that is, among the trusted people in the former troops of Hassan and Aduzai, who were only a little over a thousand, but there were five or six hundred people who came, that is, more than half of them were willing to take on this kind of mission, which can almost be said to be a return point...... This kind of spirit of seeing death as if it were home, even our army, which has the courage to "sacrifice", is a little lamented to itself.

In this respect...... The Afghan guerrillas are still very brave in fighting, and what they lack is only command and leadership and the equipment that goes with them.

In the end, I chose seventy out of the hundreds...... The reason why we want 70 people is because the Soviet army has occupied a total of 50 of our valleys, and each valley is assigned 10 people to go in and make trouble, exactly 50 people, and there are two main forces of the Soviet army outside the valley, one south and one north...... So exactly seventy people were needed!

When Zhao Jingping heard that I was going to send seventy people over, he interjected and said, "Battalion commander...... Isn't that too harsh, but it's seventy people...... I'm afraid I won't be able to come back! ”

This is the common problem of our Chinese soldiers...... They are too kind, and they habitually treat them as their comrades no matter who they fight with, even the Afghans...... No, Zhao Jingping began to feel sorry for these seventy people!

To be honest, I'm actually a little reluctant...... After all, they are comrades-in-arms who fight with them, and it is false to say that they have no feelings when they live and die together. It's just that I'm well aware of the current situation...... This is the battlefield of the Afghans, and we, as military advisers, ...... The responsibility was to come up with ideas to bring the Afghan guerrillas against the Soviet army. Now is the time for them to fight.

So...... To be a successful commander on the battlefield. You have to be "ruthless...... Ruthless to the enemy. Be ruthless to your own people!

I explained in detail to these 70 people the tasks to be completed and various precautions...... These are already familiar to us, and the experience of the battlefield in Vietnam has become a valuable asset to this day.

Then the uniforms of the government army were handed out...... As for where did this uniform come from...... There were too many of these guerrillas, many of whom had surrendered from the government army, and some of them were still wearing government uniforms...... On the one hand, it is because of poverty and is reluctant to spend money to buy a new dress to go to the battlefield, and on the other hand, it is because of habit. But in order not to be confused...... So he took off his military hat and rank, and put on a cloth hat commonly used by ordinary people.

Then I gave the order...... The seventy guerrillas took advantage of the darkness of the night to divide into seven teams and dived in different directions......

For them to be able to sneak into the right location...... I wasn't worried at all, because one or two of each team had grown up in the Hijeo Valley. They are familiar with every stone, every inch of land.

As for whether they can deceive the Afghan government army...... I'm not worried, either, because a few of the people in each team have been brought in by Afghan government forces, and not only that...... We also learned the passwords and numbers of the Afghan government forces from the inside lines of the government forces......

You must know that the Soviet army and the Afghan government army also do not understand each other, so their management of the Afghan government army can almost be described by the words "ignore it", and only give some orders for the government army to act as cannon fodder when necessary!

This is also the reason why many Afghan government forces are willing to help the guerrillas...... Fuck it! None of the good things will be the turn of the government army, and none of the bad things will fall...... Sooner or later, you Soviets will end up dead and dead, but it is better to have good relations with the partisans...... Just like the commander of the regiment Dezno last time, once he "cooperated", he could get benefits on the side of the Soviet army without giving his life...... Where can I find such a good thing?

And because of this...... In the historical war in Afghanistan, many Afghan government forces signed non-aggression pacts with guerrillas...... It may sound ridiculous, that the government army and the opposition signed a non-aggression pact? But it's true. What's even more ridiculous is ...... Did the Soviet army know this and have nothing to do with them, to coerce the government forces or to hold them accountable? Maybe these government forces will be forced to rise up.

Later...... There were even Soviet scouts wearing government uniforms to go into the mountains to reconnoitre. Because they know that the guerrillas do not fight the government army.

A qiē doesn't look like anything is going to be a problem...... So it seems like I just have to sit at the command and wait for the good news!

But I soon found out I was wrong...... Because within an hour there was a jumble of gunfire in the valley......

"What's going on?" I asked.

I obviously told them to do it in three hours...... The reason for this was the variability of the detachments, especially the ones that had to go to the valley to the south...... It was necessary to hitchhike through the valley and then into the enemy camp, which was already a rush in three hours...... That's why I set it for three hours.

"Report to the battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping replied: "The news just came from Hassana...... A group of people who couldn't hold back and were in a hurry to infiltrate the government army were discovered...... I had no choice but to act early! ”

I couldn't help but smile wryly when I heard this...... Is there a way to resist such an action? It's just a matter of keeping them a little more time in the neighborhood when they lurk nearby.

Then the whole scene quickly spiraled out of control...... As soon as the other stealthy troops heard the sound of gunfire nearby, they were guessing whether the action was ahead of schedule, and some of them were nervous when they heard the gunshots...... He no longer cared about any orders, and then he started to act...... The valley soon became lively, and the night was filled with the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions...... Occasionally, there were a few random shouts and shouts from the Soviet troops over the loudspeakers, as if they wanted to control the situation...... But the shouting is in Russian, who will buy his account, so the valley is getting more and more lively...... It lasted all night and didn't stop.

What surprised me even more...... I thought that the Soviets in the south might be more vigilant because of this, after all, there was a gap of two hours...... It is possible that the Soviet troops in the south were warned and prepared in advance.

But they were not spared...... Gunfire rang out on time two hours later from the south, and it was even more intense than from the north. (To be continued......)
