Chapter 102: Meetings
"Battalion commander!" After being stunned for a while, Zhao Jingping said suspiciously: "Didn't you say it just now...... Is it a trap for Soviet devils to transport air defense equipment back? And that equipment isn't of much use to us......"
"I didn't say I wanted the gear!" I interrupted Zhao Jingping's words and said: "I only said that the team that attacked the Soviet devils to transport air defense equipment ......"
"The battalion commander means...... Do you only fight or rob? Hearing this, Zhao Jingping was even more puzzled by the second monk: "This ...... Is there a big difference? The same still has to fall into the trap of the Soviet devils! ”
"First of all, there should be no traps for the Soviet army at this time!" I said, "If what we just speculated is true, and Aduzai really made an agreement with the Soviets, then ...... Because yesterday we vetoed this plan in front of Aduzai, and for good reason, what do you think Aduzai will do next? ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, the instructor and Zhao Jingping quickly understood.
"Aduzai will find a way to inform the Soviets!" Zhao Jingping said thoughtfully: "Then the Soviets will cancel this plan to lure the snake out of the hole...... The reason for this is that we have very good reasons, and that batch of anti-aircraft equipment is not attractive to us at all...... The Soviets also knew that this was true, so luring the snake out of the hole would no longer be luring the snake out of the hole! ”
"That's right!" I said: "But I believe that it is true that the Soviets are going to move the anti-aircraft equipment to the rear, but now the Soviets will let their guard down...... In this case, if we really want to grab a batch of air defense equipment, it is still an opportunity, but it does not make much sense for us to grab equipment, and it is too dangerous. So it's almost the same under the sneak attack! ”
"Battalion commander!" The instructor asked, "What is the purpose of our sneak attack?" This batch of anti-aircraft equipment of the Soviet army was supposed to be shipped back to China...... Even if we destroy it all, it won't help the war situation in Afghanistan! ”
The instructor has a lot of truth in that...... What we pay attention to in fighting a war is to have a strategic purpose. And you can't just beat up in confusion as soon as your eyes are red...... Even if the equipment of the Soviet army was not shipped back to China. It is also useless because the guerrillas do not have this strength, which means that there is no point in us sneaking up on these equipment.
But......
"My goal is not to destroy much equipment of the Soviet army!" I said, "It's about giving Aduzai a chance to get his hands dirty......"
After a pause, I continued: "Aduzai and the Soviets at this time...... Maybe it's because we weren't fooled. At this time, Aduzai has two choices, one is to find another way to trick us out of the valley, and the other is to simply eliminate us from the inside and outside! These two options ...... I think Aduzai is more likely to favor the former, because it is dangerous for Aduzai to work together...... Aduzai is well aware of the combat effectiveness of our army, and the Shigio Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is very likely that we will take out Aduzai before the Soviets can attack. On the other hand...... Even if we collapse under the offensive of the inside and outside, Aduzai does not dare to guarantee that the Soviets will destroy them easily. So...... I don't think Aduzai will ever agree to be ...... inside and out."
"Then Aduzai has only one choice!" The instructor said, "That's how to trick us out of the valley...... We'll do what we want! ”
"That's right!" I said, "Although there are certain risks associated with doing so...... In the Shigio Valley, Aduzai can hold on for a while as long as he occupies a random section. But the current shape shì is...... We can't do anything about Aduzai without solid evidence, and it's very difficult to get evidence...... So we just have to wait for Aduzzai to show himself! ”
"So a sneak attack on the anti-aircraft equipment of the Soviet army, yes!" Zhao Jingping said: "It's real to wait for Aduzai to make a move in the valley!" ”
I nodded, and Zhao Jingping briefly summarized the purpose of this operation in one sentence.
"One more question!" The instructor frowned and said: "What about the sneak attack on the units of the Soviet anti-aircraft equipment?" I know they're just a guise to force Aduzzai, but ...... If Aduzai had informed the Soviets of our plans, the Soviets would have prepared in advance, would this force be ......"
"It's easy!" I pointed to the map and said, "Our plan is to sneak up on the Soviets here...... But in fact, it is here, dozens of kilometers away from the original location, and next to it is still a mountainous area that is easy to evacuate and escape. In addition, our troops in charge of sneak attacks are only two companies...... After a while, Aduzai was convinced that we had fallen into an ambush by the Soviet army and retreated, so it should not be difficult to disperse and escape! ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, the instructor couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really yours...... I was wondering if you would sacrifice an army! ”
I smiled...... If necessary. I'd really sacrifice an army as the instructor said, but it's clearly not needed now!
So the plan soon unfolded a few days later!
That evening we gathered the battalion commanders of the troops for a meeting......
"Comrades!" The instructor raised his voice: "We have obtained information that the Soviet army has a large number of anti-aircraft equipment and armored units to withdraw to the Soviet Union through the Salang Road...... After several days of reconnaissance and the collection of intelligence from all sides, it was confirmed that this information was true, and because this batch of equipment was accompanied by a large number of tanks, the Soviet army was not strictly guarded...... This was a good sneak attack for us......"
At this time, Aduzai was confused, and he said with some confusion: "Instructor...... Didn't you say it before...... Isn't this piece of equipment worth grabbing? ”
"It's not the same thing as snatching equipment!" I said, "Now our purpose is not to grab ...... Rather, it was to create problems for the transportation of the Soviet troops...... According to our intelligence, the Soviet army was transported in several batches, and each batch had two or three regiments of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns delivered back to the Soviet Union...... With so many armored vehicles on the road, and the Salang road is high, dangerous and narrow, if we can ambush along the road, it will not only inflict losses on the Soviet army...... It can also cause great trouble for the transportation of the Soviet army...... Comrades know that the logistical supply of the Soviet army has always been a big problem for them...... As long as it causes problems for their logistics, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the Soviet troops, and at the same time our victory, just like we blew up the Salang tunnel! ”
"Battalion commander!" Aduzai asked, "...... Didn't you say before that it was a trap set by the Soviets? Want to lead us out of the valley ......"
"We were just guessing!" I said: "Last night a batch of anti-aircraft equipment had already left Kabul for the USSR...... Along the way, we all arranged for people to spy on the covers, and found that there was no such thing as an ambush for the Soviet army! ”
In fact, I'm telling the truth...... Because the Soviets knew from Aduzai that we were not interested in this batch of equipment, they naturally did not set up an ambush in the process of transporting the equipment, and even relaxed their vigilance because of this.
"You're right, Aduzai!" I pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Sometimes we think things too complicated, but in fact, we just scare ourselves...... But fortunately, it is not too late to know, and the Soviet army still has a large amount of equipment that needs to be transported back to the Soviet Union...... That means we still have a chance! ”
"Of course!" The instructor went on to say, "Because this piece of equipment is of little value to us, and it is very difficult and dangerous to capture it...... So our aim is to disrupt the lines of communication of the Soviet troops! There are two benefits to this...... One is to make the transportation of the Soviet army fall into chaos, and the other is to make the Soviet army's air defense equipment unable to be transported back to China for a while and a half, and continue to stay in Afghanistan to consume the supplies of the Soviet army! ”
"Deputy Head of Aduzai!" I asked Aduzai, "Do you think there's anything wrong?" ”
"Hmm! No problem, no problem! Aduzai was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "During this time, we have been training hard in the valley, and we also need to fight a battle to test the combat effectiveness of the troops!" ”
The other battalion commanders also agreed, and the matter was settled.
The next step is to discuss the specific battle plan with the soldiers...... But because I have long known that the battle plans that have been formulated now are actually nonsense, and the real battle plans have been decided a few days ago, I have no interest in my heart...... But as the so-called acting has to be a complete set, I don't want to be seen by Aduzai, so I can only brace up and discuss with the battalion commanders the deployment of troops, the time of the battle, the coordination of various units, and so on......
It wasn't until the end of the whole meeting that I found out...... It was a more tiring meeting than any previous one, because I had to be careful and pretend to be very engaged...... So much so that I almost didn't get tired of lying down!
"How?" I sat on the chair and asked Zhao Jingping, "Do you think Aduzai has been fooled?" ”
"It seems that he is convinced!" Zhao Jingping replied: "Otherwise, he would not be so active in putting forward ideas and opinions at the meeting!" ”
"I think it's eight or nine and ten!" The instructor said, "On the one hand, it is because our plan is very convincing. On the other hand...... Aduzai is also a simple-minded person, and whatever he thinks in his heart will be expressed on his face, and I see that he is in a meeting...... From time to time, a smug smile would appear on his face, but I was afraid that he was thinking in his head that he would be the master of the Xigio Valley again! ”
When we heard this, we couldn't help laughing, and the instructor would say that, because he often did ideological work for people...... There is a set of eyes for looking at people! (To be continued......)
