Chapter 11: Hassan (2)

But now it's different, Hassan already knows that we and believe that we (including the United States) will help them, and that there are no strings attached...... The reason is that we, that is, China and the United States, want to get national interests, and of course we will not care about such a small amount of money and equipment, let alone annex their tribal forces.

Now there is a very real problem in front of them...... Will it accept Chinese aid or American aid?

I actually quite understand Hassan...... If this seems to outsiders, how can it be so ungrateful...... The Chinese helped you, just remembered what they said, and now they are going to switch to the Americans.

But that's what war is all about...... This is not a matter of Hassan alone, but a whole army, and it can even be said that it is related to the life and death of this army, which is not something that can be exchanged for a small favor, so it is reasonable for Hassan to be so careful.

Just when I thought that this matter was about to collapse again, I didn't expect Hassan to give a salute in front of me and say, "Dear Chinese friends, we have decided to accept your assistance!" ”

"Oh!" I asked, "Can you tell me......?" with some surprise. Don't you weishenme choose Americans? ”

"My father thinks this is the instruction of Allah!" "He thinks that Allah has led us to you, and that the Americans are not trustworthy, just look at what they did to their brothers in Pakistan," Hassan said...... Therefore, the Father thinks that we should obey Allah's arrangement, and Allah will guide us to victory together! ”

"Good!" I excitedly said, "Then let's work together to win!" ”

At this time, I finally let go of a big stone in my heart...... Although Hassan's force is small. But there were only 500 people...... But we've finally made some progress.

Then we started talking about the specific assistance...... I know under Hassan's introduction. The team led by Hassan is called the Afghan National Liberation Alliance...... Many guerrillas in Afghanistan have their own names. Some even have their own party ......

There were 500 of them, and they were a relatively weak force among the Afghan guerrillas...... Other organized guerrillas numbered in the thousands, which is why Hassan was more cautious...... With such a small force, if it were deceived, it would be easily swallowed up by other guerrillas.

They are mainly composed of villagers...... The tribes were occupied by Afghanistan, and the elderly, women and children entered Afghanistan with the refugee camps, and the villagers, unwilling to be bullied by the Soviet troops in this way, spontaneously organized themselves to resist...... There were just over 200 people at the beginning, and there was a great shortage of weapons and ammunition. More than two hundred people had only fifty guns, a few thousand rounds of ammunition and a few grenades.

Originally, these weapons were only used to protect the tribe from other tribes...... As was said before, there are many drug dealers and bad armies in Afghanistan, if the tribes do not have the necessary armament...... It could easily be looted, and even men would be captured to join the guerrillas.

After the Soviets occupied their tribes after the invasion, these forces became the basis of their resistance against the Soviets...... In the months that followed, Hassan used a variety of tactics, such as gathering people from the refugees or contacting friends and relatives of the same tribe who were serving in the government army and turning them back...... A significant part of the Afghan military was dissatisfied with the enslavement of their country by the Soviet Union, even though the Soviet army was "invited" to Afghanistan by the new prime minister.

This is actually related to the atrocities of the Soviets entering Afghanistan...... As soon as they entered, they vigorously suppressed the opposition and executed Afghan government officers and soldiers and even civilians who did not obey orders. Even the Prime Minister of Afghanistan has been hollowed out...... Everything had to be listened to by Soviet military advisers, even personal bodyguards. The health doctors and cooks were all sent by the Soviet Union, and Kalmal, as the prime minister of Afghanistan, even had to get permission from Soviet advisers to open an office...... Where is this prime minister, obviously a prisoner, a puppet!

It was then that Karmal realized that he had led the wolf into the house, and in desperation he even raised his pistol to his head...... But the problem was that he didn't even have the right to commit suicide, and before he could pull the trigger, the pistol was taken away by his Soviet cook.

Soviet chef ...... Can you snatch the pistol away before the prime minister pulls the trigger?

When I heard Hassan say this, I realized...... This chef is certainly more than just a chef...... The rest of Karl Mailer was not easy, the Soviets used him as a puppet, and the Afghans hated him to the core...... The world is so big, but there is no place for him.

So, in this situation, Hassan easily rebelled against a company of government forces...... And on a dark and windy night, they cooperated with the government army to loot an ammunition depot and then fled to the mountains to fight guerrillas, and now they have a total of 400 guns, most of which are AK47 guns...... The reason is that Afghanistan had close contacts with the Soviet Union before, and the government army was equipped with Soviet-style equipment.

I couldn't help but feel sorry when I heard this...... Government troops! Counter-attack!

Fleeing to the mountains with the guerrillas was just a small soldier...... If you stay in the government army, you're a spy! You can provide intelligence to the guerrillas...... This is much more effective than a partisan!

But Hassan also has Hassan's difficulties...... The reason is that their ranks are too weak, and there are only about 50 guns in more than 200 people, and if they do not rush to replenish some soldiers with combat experience and a batch of ammunition, they are afraid that they will soon be swallowed up by other guerrillas.

Other words...... They had to face not only the Soviet and government troops, but also their own people, who were also partisans.

To be honest, I don't quite understand that these partisans weishenme did not unite when the Soviet army invaded this foreign enemy, and they had to fight themselves...... But I don't understand it, but after careful analysis, I feel that this also has advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is obvious...... The guerrillas could not unite to form a stronger liliang against the invaders.

Benefits...... It is this phenomenon of armed separatism not only in the guerrillas, but in the whole of Afghanistan...... Before the invasion of the Soviet Union, these armed shili were quite obedient, after all, it was the Afghans themselves who ruled themselves, and the government still had troops in their hands...... There is no reason or need for Shili to oppose the government forces of the tribes and tribes below.

However, after the invasion of the Soviet Union, it was different......

Everyone knows that the government was hollowed out by the Soviet Union, so what the government says naturally has no credibility...... The government was nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Soviets, so all of these armed shili were in a state of anarchy, even in Soviet-controlled cities and regions, which made it impossible for the Soviets to govern...... The fire was extinguished here and burned again, either where there was an uprising, or where the government army defected, or where the two tribes of the city were fighting.

This is a troubled time...... A veritable troubled time. A troubled world where there are no laws and axioms, there is only power!

"What was the distribution of forces in the USSR?" I asked.

That's what I care about the most.

There is a saying that knowing what you know is invincible, so a soldier who fights, especially as a commander, will develop a habit of knowing the enemy's situation at the first time.

But having been in Pakistan for so many days...... But because we had no intelligence sources, we never got the information about the Soviet army, which made me feel empty and feel that I had no confidence in what to do.

"I don't know very well about that!" Hassan replied, "But Aguirre probably knows!" ”

As he spoke, Hassan beckoned an Afghan behind him and introduced: "He is Aguirre...... Defected from the government army! ”

"Oh!" I nodded, and handed over the baton in my hand: "Tell me about the deployment of Soviet troops and government troops!" ”

"That's the case!" Aguirre pointed to the map with his baton and said: "The 40th Army of the Soviet Army, a total of 100,000 troops, entered Afghanistan from three directions in three directions...... They occupied cities, roads, railways, and military bases and strategic facilities along the way, leaving their troops behind. Until now...... They divided Afghanistan into 24 major theaters and 101 small theaters, each of which had an army in charge! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod my head, this method of the Soviet Union was necessary...... If you invade other countries, you need to leave some troops behind to ensure the safety of these places, especially your own transportation lines.

But......

"100,000 people guarding 101 small war zones!" I said, "That is, there are less than 1,000 people in a war zone, and they can defend it?" ”

"I've read the report!" Ragil said: "Each division of the Soviet Union has to garrison 200,000 square kilometers, and each regiment has to garrison 7 or 80,000 square kilometers!" ”

"Hmm!" I said, "Their forces are too scattered!" ”

I'm not surprised that Rajir would know about this, because Rajir was a soldier in Kabul...... And Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan, so there will certainly be a lot more information than anywhere else.

"But they have government forces to command!" "Although the government forces were not happy to fight for the Soviets, they had to fight under pressure, so they could control it!" Rajir said. The Soviet side even arrogantly believed...... This war is almost over here! ”

I couldn't help but smile when I heard this...... This is also the reason why the Soviet Union was planning to do something against China in Mongolia with military exercises, and what they didn't know was ...... This war has just begun! (To be continued......)
