Fighting this thing...... Sometimes it doesn't take too much sophistication or strategy, but you just need to grasp the moment to enter the battlefield to take the initiative on the battlefield, as we do now...... At a time when the Soviet army was still fighting inextricably with the Shigio Valley...... However, our intelligence officers have already infiltrated the vicinity of the war zone, and they are always reporting to us on the situation on the battlefield and even the distribution of Soviet troops.

On the other hand, our troops are also actively preparing for war...... Because of the large number of Soviet troops to face in this battle, the Soviet army still has more than 2,000 people, and there may be reserves that have not been invested, so we dare not slack off this time, and a total of more than 2,000 people have been organized to prepare for the battlefield.

Among the more than 2,000 people, the main force is still ours and Hassan's troops...... Our troops dispatched a total of 400 men, which can almost be said to be the best of the best, and Hassan's troops dispatched 800 men...... Their troops had expanded by more than 1,000 people at this time, so it was not difficult to dispatch 800 people, and these 800 people were still an army that could work closely with our Chinese army......

In fact, it is not difficult to work closely with the Afghan army...... It is good to teach the Afghan troops the sign language used by our troops during training...... It doesn't matter if you don't speak the language, those sign languages cover most of the common commands...... Let the partisans memorize it by rote, and then use it a few more times during training, and in a few days they will become familiar with it.

The remaining 800 people are the two guerrillas trained at our base...... These two guerrillas each sent 400 men to fight with us, and I did not want these guerrillas to participate in the fight...... The main reason is that their training is only a month and a half, and it is impossible to coordinate well with us. I can't even command them effectively on the battlefield...... But the leaders of these two guerrilla detachments insisted that we take them into battle.

Their reasons are threefold......

First, the Afghans are grateful for their gratitude. Received our equipment and training. Now that we have something to do, they have to do their part.

The second is that their guerrillas were trained to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan, so it was their responsibility to participate in the battle to save the Higio Valley...... Of course, our external propaganda is to save the Higio Valley, and naturally the instructors will help me do this.

Third...... Even participating in the battle with us also helped to quickly improve the guerrillas' prime...... This is true, just like when we were growing up, the reason why we were able to become an experienced veteran in a short period of time was because we were threatened with death on the battlefield and desperately learned from the veterans of combat experience.

In addition, I also felt that if the guerrillas used it well, it was not useless, so I thought about it and let them participate...... I have to stress that this is the result of my desperate refusal...... If you open the door and let the guerrillas participate in this battle. I'm afraid that if I don't talk about it, I can call three or four thousand people...... Because there are even guerrillas on the side of the US military base who have asked to participate.

This scene made Smith and the other Americans turn purple with anger, you must know that they were coercive and lured to get this guerrilla together, and we did everything possible to stop these guerrillas......

But this is also something that cannot be helped, and the eyes of the guerrillas are bright...... According to past experience, they all know that if they follow the Yankees to the battlefield, most of them will only be beaten by others, but when they go to the battlefield with us, they can learn skills, make meritorious contributions, and fight the Soviet army...... Why not?

To be on the safe side...... This qiē was only started when we were close to the battlefield, and the partisans were mixed, and I didn't want to let the Soviets know about our plans before we even embarked on the march!

I had a conversation with Smith before that......

"I'm ready to rescue the Higio Valley!" I say.

After all, we can be considered allies now, so I think it's better to talk to Smith about actions like this.

"Good! Good luck with your best of luck! Smith shook my hand.

This surprised me. I thought he would at least ask me about the battle plan or something...... But he didn't say anything.

It should be said that this is a good habit...... After all, there are guerrillas everywhere in the vicinity, and if you are not careful, you may leak the news. What's more, there was no need for Smith to know our battle plan at all.

"There's another thing!" I said: "I think Colonel Smith, you also know that ...... 'blowpipe' anti-aircraft missiles were simply not able to deal with Soviet air power...... This can have very harsh consequences on the battlefield, such as now...... If we had a good anti-aircraft missile, we would have had a lot of initiative in reinforcing the Shigio Valley, but now we have to make a lot of adjustments......"

I'm talking about the reality on the battlefield now, since the "blowpipe" anti-aircraft missiles equipped with guerrillas...... This thing has been plagued by the guerrillas...... It was very difficult to operate, and it took a lot of effort for the guerrillas to learn how to operate it, but when they actually went to the battlefield, they found that it was even more difficult to hit the target with this thing than to climb to the sky, and it was even a suicidal act...... The reason is that after this thing is launched, you have to aim at the helicopter with the aiming cross, and then you have to manually control it...... In the process, the helicopter or the Soviet ground fire had already discovered the partisans holding the missile sights, and a few bullets were killed, so the missiles were completely useless!

So use it...... The guerrillas found that this thing was useless, so they simply did not bring it, and it was a burden to bring it.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Colonel Smith replied with some reluctance: "I also know these questions...... I can also be honest with you, the United States does have more advanced anti-aircraft missiles, but ...... The U.S. side is not at ease about using this missile to equip the Afghan guerrillas......"

"What's there to worry about?" Knowingly, I asked, "Are you still worried that these guerrillas will become enemies of you America?" ”

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Smith spread his hands and replied, "The U.S. government is certainly not worried about the Afghan guerrillas...... But you think, once we use this new missile on the battlefield, it will most likely fall into the hands of the Soviets, so the technology we use in this missile will no longer be a secret! ”

"Oh! I ......nodded as I pretended to be enlightened, "It makes sense......

Of course, I am aware of the problem with this, not to mention that this is a historical event...... You can deduce it with reasoning alone!

After thinking about it for a while, I said, "Otherwise...... Anti-aircraft missiles are very difficult to capture by the enemy on the battlefield......"

Of course, even if you lose the battle and see that the enemy is in front of you, you will have time to blow up this thing with a burning grenade!

"I agree with this!" Smith nodded, "But...... You know that, too...... No matter what weapons we equip the Afghans, they will secretly take some and sell them......"

"This can be solved too!" "For example, we should establish a sound monitoring mechanism so that military advisers can keep track of them and be ready to destroy them at any time," I said...... You can even arrange manpower in the arms market to buy back the missiles that have accidentally entered the arms market! In this way, it is possible to achieve the purpose of not leaking secrets but also striking at the Soviet army, right? I believe...... As long as the supervision is in place, plus only a small number of missiles are equipped...... It should still be manageable! ”

Colonel Smith couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and said, "What Battalion Commander Yang said makes sense...... But that's not something I can decide, but I'll report this to the U.S. government and see what the outcome will be...... I can't guarantee it! ”

"I understand!" I was quiet on the surface, but I was happy in my heart.

This qiē was something I had planned for a long time...... If you want to say how long ago you planned it, it should be the day you got the "blowpipe" missile......

Why didn't you say it on the day you got the "blowpipe" missile, but wait until now?

The reason is actually very simple, if you say it on the day you get the "blowpipe...... That's obviously telling Sù Smith that I've known about missiles for a long time, and I know a lot about it. On the other hand, it also means that I am likely to covet this missile...... So, doing so would get nothing but Smith's suspicions.

But that's no longer the case...... Now the "blowpipe" style on the battlefield is so bad that even the guerrillas have abandoned it...... That's when I bring it up again, and it becomes a matter of course.

The only thing that can't be known for sure now is...... The U.S. government may not necessarily buy it, but as the saying goes, it is up to people to make things happen...... You can't stop trying just because you want to be small. What's more, I still know...... In fact, the U.S. government is also wavering, and there are internal divisions, some people support missile aid to Afghanistan, and some people oppose equipment...... It's just that the opposition has a slight upper hand.

And I'm building this yì...... I hope it can be a weight to add to this swinging scale...... can turn their internal controversy to the other side.

"Colonel Smith!" Finally, I added, "What if...... If you want the U.S. government to agree to aid anti-aircraft missiles, then ...... You'd better be able to exaggerate a little bit about the predicament and danger that helicopters pose to us! ”

Smith nodded approvingly, then smiled at me......

Of course, Smith would do so, because as a soldier, as an army that trains Afghan guerrillas on the battlefield, he also wants to have an effective equipment that can successfully deal with helicopters...... It's the nature of a soldier! (To be continued......)
