"Is your information accurate?" I asked.

"Accurate!" Aduzai nodded: "This is the information we have planted in the Soviet army, and he is a translator...... So the information I got was so much and so reliable! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, if it was really like what Aduzai said...... If this should be a translator, then it is indeed possible to get this information, after all, the Soviets have to go through a translation when they want to convey orders to the Afghan government forces, right? Moreover, there were not many people in the Soviet Union who could speak Persian, but there were many people in Afghanistan who could speak Russian......

This is determined by the relations between the two countries and the disparity in the economic environment...... You must know that the relationship between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan in recent decades has been almost that of colonization and colonization, and the living conditions in Afghanistan are very poor, and there are few job opportunities...... But at the same time, a large number of Soviet military advisers and businessmen from the Soviet Union came to Afghanistan to do business...... Mainly in the jewelry business, Afghanistan is mountainous and rocky, so there are many gem mines of all kinds.

This has provided employment opportunities for some educated Afghans...... Learn Russian, and then work as a translator for the Soviets.

On the other hand, the Soviets had a sense of superiority over the Afghans, and the economic conditions were much better than in Afghanistan...... This makes them disdain to learn Persian to compete with the Afghans for their jobs.

In fact...... Even if the Soviets wanted to, they couldn't grab it, because Afghanistan was so poor, so that the Soviets could hire a good translator at a very low price, and the Afghan translator also had local connections to use, so the Soviet-Afghan translator was basically monopolized by the Afghans.

This is why the Soviet army has complained about the lack of translation when the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan...... The entire Soviet Union could find less than ten translators. These less than 10 people had to help the 100,000 Soviet troops communicate with the Afghan people and government forces...... The difficulty of this communication can be imagined.

It is precisely because of this that the Soviet Union hired a large number of Afghan translators...... These translators are all Afghans. Of course, some of them are in Cao Ying's heart in Han. As a result, it became a good channel for the guerrillas to obtain information.

"Battalion commander!" Seeing that I was still hesitating, the instructor asked, "Are you ...... Suspect that there is fraud in this? ”

"That's right!" I nodded: "Here's what I think...... The intelligence work on the Soviet side was much more rigorous and meticulous than ours...... The Soviet Union is a big country, they are comparable to the United States in terms of intelligence work, and they have advanced reconnaissance tools, such as listening equipment, spy satellites, etc., plus they have fought us in the Hijeo Valley...... So we have to assume that the Soviets know about us. That is to say, the Soviet army knows that we lack air defense equipment, and even knows that the American side has always refused to provide us with advanced surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles! ”

"That's right!" Zhao Jingping interjected: "In particular, the Soviet devils have fought a war with us, and although they have suffered big losses, they know that most of our air defense weapons are anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery...... Either these things pose little threat to helicopters, or they are not suitable for maneuvering in mountainous areas, and surface-to-air missiles are 'blowpipes' with extremely low hit rates and difficult to operate...... It is unlikely that the Soviets, who are armed with helicopter gunships and have mature combat experience, will not know this! ”

"Well......" I said, "the Soviet Union knew that we lacked anti-aircraft weapons...... But they chose to show the anti-aircraft weapons at this time, what is this called? ”

Zhao Jingping and the instructor couldn't help but glance at each other, and said one word in unison: "Do what you like!" ”

"That's right! It's what you like! I said, "I think the intentions of the Soviet side may be like this...... Since the failure of the last clearance, they knew that the Hijieo Valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they made a move to lure the snake out of the hole...... Lure us out of the valley with the gear we desperately need. As long as we get out of the valley...... There's a good chance you won't be able to come back! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, the instructor couldn't help but nodded, and then laughed and said, "These Soviet devils...... He actually played the Art of War with us. If it weren't for the battalion commander's reminder...... I almost fell for them! ”

"I almost fell for it!" I smiled bitterly: "When I heard that this Soviet devil was going to transport these equipment back, my first reaction was to make a hard deal out of him!" Especially when it comes to hearing about surface-to-air missiles......"

"Alas! These Yankees are really! Zhao Jingping complained when he heard this: "They obviously have good things, but they refuse to use them on the battlefield...... What else do you say about supporting the Afghan guerrillas?! ”

I couldn't help but smile when I heard this, I really can't blame the Yankees...... Because what matters between countries is what they have to think about, just like we do...... It is not for China's interests to die on the battlefield in Afghanistan today. The difference between us and the Yankees is ...... They have technology, money, and advanced equipment, and all we have is combat experience and a life!

So we teamed up with the Yankees and it was a perfect match...... They contributed money, technology, and advanced equipment, and we had to come to this valley to fight the Soviet army with the Afghan guerrillas.

"Battalion commander!" Aduzai, who was standing next to him, said a little unwillingly: "What if that is...... Did the Soviets not set a trap? If that's really how the Soviets were arranged...... Didn't we miss a great opportunity? ”

"Think about it......" I said, "and it's not really important to us!" ”

"This ......" Hearing me say this, even Zhao Jingping was a little puzzled.

"First of all, this tank and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns!" I said, "Tanks don't need to be talked about...... Some of the tanks and armored vehicles we captured were left in the valley and only used occasionally during training! In the defensive battle, it is time to defend the mountain pass, and maybe it can play some role...... But have you ever wondered how much pressure it will put on our logistics if we were to fully use these armored vehicles and tanks? ”

"Oh!" As soon as I said this, Zhao Jingping quickly understood: "The battalion commander is right...... If you don't have a car and only use mules and horses to transport it, it is a big burden to transport diesel fuel, not to mention machine gun bullets for armored vehicles and shells for tanks! ”

"And that's just one aspect!" I said: "Even if we capture the Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, even if we can deliver enough fuel and ammunition...... At most, our armored troops can only move in the valley, and as soon as they get out of the valley, they will be attacked by Soviet artillery, armored troops, helicopters, etc...... Fighting a modern war is the strong point of the Soviet army, and it is precisely our weak point, and we are attacking the strong points of the other with our own shortcomings! ”

"That'...... Anti-aircraft missiles always work! "That's what we need most right now...... This is also easy to grab, and if you grab it, you will be transported by mules and horses and scattered to the mountains, and the Soviets can't chase it if they want to! ”

I shook my head: "Anti-aircraft missiles for the Soviets...... If it's infrared-guided, it's really good, but there's a catch...... We've used Dragon anti-tank missiles before, so I know a little bit about it, and it's based on the principle of receiving some infrared bands emitted by the target and tracking the target based on those bands...... This raises the question of which bands these missiles are tracking to target and be very effective in jamming. The SAM missiles are the missiles of the Soviet devils, and they will not know which bands these missiles are tracking? So only the right amount of interference is needed...... I'm afraid that the surface-to-air missiles we grabbed will turn into a pile of scrap metal! ”

"And there's such a thing!" The instructor said incredulously, "Aren't these equipment simply unattractive to us?!" ”

"When the battalion commander said so...... Zhao Jingping also nodded and said: "I also think that although these equipment are good, and they are also air defense weapons that we are in short supply, we are afraid that they will be useless at all, or they are not suitable for us at all!" ”

"Battalion commander......" Aduzai asked, "Then are we not going to fight?" ”

"Needless to say!" Zhao Jingping replied on his behalf: "We have no need or worth risking for this batch of equipment that is not suitable for our use!" ”

"Oh!" Aduzai was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

I don't know if it's because I'm too careful or what, but I feel like Aduzai is a little disappointed......

Why was it disappointed? Is it for this batch of equipment? Or is it because I won't let him play? Or is it something else?

When Aduzai left, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became...... Then the guards called Hassan.

"Have you received any news that the Soviet army is going to send anti-aircraft equipment back home?" I asked.

"I just heard a little wind!" Hassan replied: "But the news is uncertain, so I didn't have time to report it to you!" ”

"Any questions?" Seeing that I was silent, Hassan asked next to me.

"...... so," I said, "you send a trustworthy man to secretly forbid Aduzai to see if he has any unusual appearances, such as contact with whom......

"Aduzai?" Hearing this, Hassan couldn't help but look at me in shock.

"You can't let anyone else know about this, you know?"

"Understood!" Hassan answered, but his eyes were clearly telling me that he still couldn't believe what I was wondering about.

I also hope it's not true...... But judging from various signs, I have to suspect that Aduzai has a different heart! (To be continued......)
