Chapter 117: Supplies
After hearing the descriptions of Rajir and Vadud...... I regret that I didn't go to the battlefield with Chen Qiaoqiao!
I don't know when the road began...... When I hear the description of that kind of scene, I get a little excited, especially since I haven't fought with a ruthless character like Chen Qiaoqiao until now...... I think it's going to be a hearty feeling!
But I'm not too worried about that, because there are opportunities in the future...... I'm afraid there will be no war in Afghanistan?!
Want to think about it...... I quickly summoned the Chen sisters to the office, and the first thing I wanted to do was to praise them for their good play, skill and standard...... Girls like to listen to good words, not to mention that I still praise the idea, only the two sisters like to work hard!
Then I came to the substance......
"Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao!" I said, "You should also know about the supply line...... It's not a temporary problem, it's a long-term problem, and we do have taken the Soviet garrison now, but ...... The Soviets have helicopters, and if we take out one, they may build two, and if we open a mountain road today, they may block two tomorrow, so ......"
"So the battle on the supply line is also long!" Chen Qiaoqiao replied with a straight chest: "Rest assured, battalion commander...... We'll be back on the supply line tomorrow, as long as we keep an eye on the trails...... Jamming and fighting for the Soviet army when it establishes a new garrison will exhaust the Soviet army and thus ensure the safety of our army's supply lines! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, Chen Qiaoqiao really deserved to be from the Vietnamese secret service company, and it seemed that he had already made a decision about it...... It can even be said that she may have considered this before this.
However, Chen Yiyi showed a little disappointment on her face...... Of course, I know that this is because of what I am. The supply line is to the south of the Higio Valley. And where I am is is in the northern part of the valley...... That is to say, in the future, we will be alone on one side and on the other.
But there is no way to do it...... I couldn't help but look at Chen Yiyi apologetically.
"Battalion commander!" When the Chen sisters left the camp headquarters. Zhao Jingping said next to him: "There is no need to be so anxious about this...... After all, now that there are so many mountain roads, the supply can be guaranteed! Let them catch their breath......"
I shook my head and said, "We don't have time to rest!" ”
"Don't have time?" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping was a little puzzled.
I didn't answer and asked, "What do you think...... Why did the Soviet Union consider blocking our army's supply lines at this time? And most of the action is in our direction? ”
This was determined by the limited strength of the Soviet army...... If they could, I believe that the Soviets would also try to completely block every mountain road from Pakistan to Afghanistan.
"What does the battalion commander mean......" Zhao Jingping hesitated and said: "This is the situation of the Soviet army against our Xijieao Valley Cloth?" ”
"Of course!" I nodded and said, "The last time the Soviets attacked us, they didn't block our supply lines...... That's because they think that with just a few mountain roads, what weapons can we transport? And they also have a large number of helicopters, tanks, etc., which are determined to win our Shigio Valley, so they don't bother to waste time and troops on blocking our army's supply lines! But it turns out they were wrong......"
"After that, the Soviet army still did not block the supply lines of our army!" I continued: "That's because...... The Soviets thought they could use spies to contact Aduzai, causing a division of forces within us. In order to achieve the goal of disintegrating the defenses of the Shigio Valley from within...... In this way, of course, it does not matter whether or not the supply lines of our army are blocked, and even the ammunition transported to the valley of Shigio at that time is likely to become part of the Soviet army! ”
"And now?" Zhao Jingping knew that I still had the following, so he immediately asked: "What is the idea of the Soviet army fighting now?" ”
"The Soviets realized that ...... was a point," I said, "and it would be very difficult to take the Hijeo Valley by storm, and even if it did, it would cost them dearly, making them powerless to fight other Afghan guerrillas or hold down the Afghan government forces." Internal differentiation then failed...... On the contrary, it makes us more stable internally! So there's only one way...... Siege! ”
"But......" the instructor interjected beside him, "isn't the siege of the Soviet army now a failure?" Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao has successfully opened up ten mountain roads! ”
"This is just the beginning!" Pointing to the area between the Shijio Valley and Pakistan on the map, I said: "This is the area where our army's supply lines are concentrated, many of which are above 3,000 meters above sea level...... Winter in Afghanistan is coming! ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but suddenly realize that he said a few words: "Heavy snow covers the mountain!" ”
"That's right!" I nodded: "Our army relies entirely on mountain roads for supplies, and a single snow will greatly affect the transportation capacity, which means that we must have enough ammunition to survive the winter...... This is why the Soviet army was in a hurry to block the supply lines of our army at this time. They also knew that it was impossible to block our supply lines...... But it can try to keep us supplied as little as possible, as long as winter comes...... Heavy snow would help them block these mountain roads. It's not just because the snowy mountain roads are dangerous and difficult...... It would also be very convenient for the Soviet army to lay mines, and it would not be as easy to eliminate as it is now! ”
This is a truth that everyone understands...... The two types of mines used by helicopter mines now used by the Soviet army are either easy to break or easy to spot because of the wrong color...... But if it snows, all these problems will be gone, and a large pile of mines will be laid on the mountain road, and then nothing will be seen in the snow.
"And the Soviets are very good at fighting in cold weather!" I continued: "If they attack our army several times or constantly harass our army at this time...... Do you think we'll survive this winter in the Hijeo Valley? ”
Hearing this, the instructor and Zhao Jingping couldn't help but look at each other...... You know, part of the reason why we were able to hold the valley of Shigio was that we had enough supplies to blow up a wall of fire at the pass with mortars...... If there is a shortage of food and ammunition, how can it stop the helicopters and tanks of the Soviet army?!
"There's only one way now!" After the eventually, I concluded: "On the one hand, store as much ammunition as possible, and on the other hand, harass the Soviet supply lines as soon as possible, this is a supply line war!" (To be continued......)
