Perhaps it is because the guerrillas at the US bases do not have a proper attitude towards training, or perhaps because there are too many guerrillas training at the US bases...... I don't know if there are any guerrillas who are training under new names over and over again, it's not something I need to care about, I just know that it wasn't long before there were batches of American-style equipment for sale in Peshawar, which was obviously organized and jihua.

But the Yankees don't seem to be stopping it...... I don't know if it's because the money in the United States doesn't care about this, or if they can't stop it, and even I have some belief that the United States is partly deliberately condoning this phenomenon.

Will Weishenme condone it?

Because the Yankees know one thing very well...... Although these weapons and equipment were "deceived" by drug dealers or guerrillas, drug dealers were selling them at relatively low prices, because the purchasing power of Pakistani and Afghan people is like this, and if they are sold at normal prices, few people will be able to afford them.

So...... Who needs all this American-style gear? Of course, it will not be the Soviets, and it will not be the Afghan government army...... Because they are all equipped with AK74s or AK47s, and the bullets and parts are not universal, the Soviets are not stupid enough to buy American-style equipment into their own troops and mess up their own logistics.

Therefore, the people who will buy these weapons are undoubtedly the opposition, that is, the Afghan guerrillas who really need them...... On the other hand, these weapons are quickly transported to other places by arms traffickers for sale, and the equipment quickly spreads in Afghanistan.

This is a market effect...... The Yankees or Pakistanis were needed to deliver the equipment to the Afghan guerrillas in batches, but now they don't need to do it because of the market, and it spreads much faster than hoped, and often goes into the hands of those who really need it.

Of course, we don't have the strength to spread equipment like the Yankees, and in fact, we can't spread even if we want to...... Most of our country's weapons are 56 punches and 56 and a half pounds. These equipment are not as good as other people's AK47s!

I have to admit that the Yankees are much more clever than us on this point, and it seems that it is precisely from this point of view that it is ...... The United States wanted to replenish the guerrillas with as much equipment as possible in the shortest possible time, so they set the training cycle very short, and they trained each batch of 1,000 troops sometimes even more, and the training cycle was only one and a half months......

To put it simply, it is only necessary to train for a month and a half at the US military base before leaving the division, and you can go to the battlefield.

It can well be imagined...... What can you learn in a month and a half? It's just to learn how to shoot guns, learn to maintain, and then learn some basic tactical moves!

But I had a different plan...... The Yankees are not playing a game that we can afford, and it is millions of dollars to sprinkle casually like them. So let's honestly build an elite army!

At the same time, we also have this foundation...... Hassan's guerrilla force is relatively clean...... By Tranquility, I mean that there are very few thugs or addicts who commit adultery......

Very little is said here...... The fact that there are addicts in Hassan's troops is inevitable in an environment like Afghanistan...... Life is hard, the environment is harsh, and many people don't see where their future lies and they don't know what hope they will have in the future. On the other hand...... Islam also stipulates that they cannot harm their bodies or commit suicide, so they can only use drugs to anesthetize themselves.

For this part of the people. I will not allow them to stay in the army...... So I asked Hassan to take them to the refugee camp. I'd rather keep them in a refugee camp.

“weishenme？” Hassan was a little puzzled by this: "They are men, and they can fight...... They can also be used on the battlefield! ”

"They do have a role to play on the battlefield!" I said, "But have you ever thought about it...... The Soviets had more money than we did and more drugs than we did...... They can tempt these fighters with these things at any time as long as they want to, do you think the fighters with drug addiction can resist these temptations? ”

Hassan was speechless when I said that, of course he knew what was going on. I also know that few people can resist this kind of temptation!

So we quickly came to a consensus on this point that neither the members who have joined nor those who want to join in the future cannot be related to drugs.

But even if I have plans to train Hassan's team for a long time, time is running out......

On this day, Hassan received news from the pigeon's feet...... Yes. The Afghan guerrillas were still using carrier pigeons to deliver messages, and I would have liked to assign them a few radios or something, but considering that the Soviet Union had a very complete listening system...... Like the interception units we encountered in Vietnam, the equipment in Vietnam was only provided by the Soviet Union.

Therefore, if the guerrillas were equipped with radios, they would be harmed. On the contrary, the carrier pigeon is quite safe, although the information he transmits is slow and does not necessarily arrive, but at least the Soviets can't listen to it......

Therefore, in this era when science and technology are becoming more and more developed, in the era when everyone is comparing technology, suddenly a primitive method makes people not know how to deal with it.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Hassan took the note and said to me: "The Soviets are going to make a move...... This is the news from Kabul that the Soviet army will soon launch a second sweep! ”

The news came from Kabul...... That's what I do.

This work was carried out because there were many men in the tribe who served in the government army...... As I said before, Afghanistan has a decay of agriculture and industry, so men who are not soldiers have to sell drugs, otherwise the whole family will go hungry.

Most of the men of the Hassan tribe choose to serve as soldiers...... This is thanks to Elder Abdul, who insisted that all the men in the village who made a living be sent to serve as soldiers in order to keep the men in the village out of contact with drugs.

It is precisely because of this that there are still some people from the tribe in the government army who have not come back in a hurry...... Afghans were more loyal to their tribes than the government at this time, not to mention the fact that Soviet troops had seized their homeland and driven their relatives from their tribes.

Therefore, there is no problem in rebelling against these people, and there is basically no difficulty...... This is also Hassan's idea, his thinking is still in a state of more people is more liliang.

Of course, I wouldn't have let him do that...... Just kidding, such haode spies don't know how to use, our guerrillas are not as good as the Soviet army in terms of strength and equipment, and if you want to achieve something, you rely on information!

So he made a decision and sent a few people to contact ...... After instigating them against them, let them stay in the government army and make false accusations, secretly spy on information and contact us.

At this time, I felt like I was back in the Anti-Japanese War...... When our army dealt with the Japanese, it often used this to counter the puppet army and then let them provide information for our army.

"What time is the sweep?" I asked.

"The exact time has not yet been decided!" Hassan replied: "It may start in a few days, because the Soviet troops are already in a state of readiness!" ”

I couldn't help frowning, the last time the Soviet troops swept was in February, and that was their first sweep...... The aim was to annihilate the guerrillas hiding in the mountains. It's only April...... In other words, only two months later, the Soviet Union began a second sweep, which also shows that the Soviet Union was in a hurry to solve the fighting in Afghanistan and then free up its hands to do something else.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Hassan asked: "Should we do something?" ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Back to Afghanistan!" "Fight the Soviets...... We've lost the city, and we can't let them control the mountains anymore! Otherwise we won't be able to go back! ”

I see what Hassan means...... The mountains of Afghanistan are full of difficult places to defend, and if the Soviet army still uses the same method as they occupy the city, that is, capture a high ground and send troops to garrison it, and then slowly advance forward...... That's just that the Afghan guerrillas don't even have a foothold.

I didn't speak...... This is not something that worries me, because I know that the Soviet army cannot occupy the mountains with just one or two sweeps, and the Soviets have been fighting for several years without taking advantage!

What I was thinking was what Hassan said...... Do you want to do something?

On the one hand, Hassan's unit has only been training for a little over a month, and although they have made rapid progress, they are still not as good as I would have liked.

On the other hand...... Hassan's army needed a win to boost morale and make a name for themselves.

Here's what I think...... Our task was to aid the Afghan partisans in large quantities and to try to drag the Soviet troops into the quagmire of Afghanistan. But now...... Hassan's team of just 500 people is clearly not enough.

Then, if we want to expand our influence, or if we want to get more guerrillas to believe in us, we naturally need to fight, and we need to fight a good victory, so that all the Afghan guerrillas or Afghans who want to join the guerrillas know that we are a force.

But wouldn't I be a little too impatient to do that?

It's like a double-edged sword, and we're different from the U.S. bases...... The U.S. bases are a large area of training, and no one will say anything about them even if they fail, but we only train this unit, and once we fail, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally felt the need to fight a battle, not only with the Soviets, but also with the partisans, but also at the American bases...... Let everyone know that we are a force to be reckoned with! Only in this way will we be able to gain a firm foothold here, in the hearts and minds of the Afghan people! (To be continued......)
