The third preparation I made was to arrange groups of snipers near several major mountain passes...... There should not be too many snipers arranged in advance, otherwise the sharp reduction in the number of snipers will only arouse Aduzai's suspicions. Their role is to use walkie-talkies to provide us with timely information about the valley...... I need to know Aduzai's movements and react to them.

None of this is difficult...... All the qiē is carried out in secret, and we, the Chinese soldiers, ourselves have some transcendent status in this Xijieo Valley...... This status is not defined by us, but by virtue of our excellent performance on the battlefield during this period of fighting, the Afghan guerrillas automatically give us ...... That's what happens on the battlefield, whoever can fight and kill more enemies will be surrounded by ...... These people, including the guerrillas and the Afghan people, will naturally give affirmation, which is what we often call the "heroic rule" when we are soldiers.

Especially during the period when we began to reorganize the training of Afghan guerrillas...... The admiration of the Afghan guerrillas for us has risen to a new level!

That sounds like a strange thing...... When we win a battle, our prestige doesn't rise as fast as we do in training? Isn't the "hero's rule" still applicable to the Afghan guerrillas?

In fact, this is not surprising, and at the same time, it does not violate the "law of heroes...... The reason is that the cultural level of the Afghan guerrillas is too low and the knowledge is too narrow, so it is ...... for them That's what it's like to fight, practice more and fight more without fear of death...... Add a little luck and you're good to go!

So they take it for granted...... We, the Chinese soldiers, were able to win the war because of these, and we are no different from them. There are even quite a few people who think that it is just the luck of our Chinese soldiers.

They are not to blame...... The battles they have seen since they were young have been like that. It's mostly by feeling. And the people around me are like that...... So they think that this is how people all over the world fight.

But......

When we were training the guerrillas...... Many guerrillas suddenly woke up to the fact that there are such things as individual tactics, squad and platoon tactics, and battalion and company tactics in this world, and that in order to fight a war, you must learn mathematics well and be able to calculate the distance between us and the enemy...... Not to mention that we have a lot of shooting theories that are completely new to them in terms of sniper tactics, but are very reasonable and practical.

As the saying goes, "the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway"...... In the past, they were laymen, so they felt that the skills of our Chinese soldiers were nothing, but now they have learned a little during the whole training, so the more they learn, the more they are afraid, and the more they learn, the more they admire our Chinese soldiers.

Later, many guerrillas even demanded that their relatives who had been sent to refugee camps in Pakistan be brought back...... They think we are invincible. As long as there are these Chinese soldiers in the ...... Then the USSR will never be able to capture the Shigio Valley!

Because of this...... So we, the Chinese soldiers, are quite free in the Hijeo Valley, and in a way they are even above the Afghan guerrillas...... For example, contact with the logistical supply force is carried out entirely by Chinese soldiers, and Afghan guerrillas who cross this red line are likely to be used as spies.

Thereupon...... We can easily spy on Aduzai and other leaders, plant explosives, and even place snipers in important positions!

But when it came to preparing for the last thing, I began to struggle......

Our combat habit is to do our best every time we fight...... This is determined by the fact that the Afghan guerrillas are not strong in combat, organization, and discipline, and it is difficult for them to independently complete combat missions, even in the hands of Hassan...... It's like the first sneak attack on the mechanized units of the Soviet army, and the second sneak attack on the Salang road...... Every time it was our troops who brought partisans to the battlefield, and this time, of course, would not be an exception.

This is also the reason why Aduzai dared to start a rebellion...... According to the combat habits of our army, as soon as we go out, it will be mostly the Chinese army and Hassan's troops...... When the tiger descends the mountain, these monkeys can be called kings, and there is a good chance that the tiger will be killed by the Soviets outside and never come back...... A perfect plan indeed!

And the Soviet side ...... It can not only deal with our formidable opponent, but also develop the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Xijieo Valley into a pro-Soviet force...... It's also killing two birds with one stone!

But what kind of dreams they have is not something I need to care about for the time being...... What I need to care about is: Whether or not we're doing our best every time, at least we have to keep some people in this battalion headquarters...... No army would abandon its base camp when it went out to fight. This will only arouse the suspicion of Aduzai!

So who should be sent to stay at the base camp?

This is undoubtedly a very troublesome question...... If Aduzai were to start a riot, then his first target would be our battalion headquarters in the Hijeo Valley, and it would be likely that he would have trampled the battalion headquarters to the ground without giving them a chance to speak...... Aduzai was not a fool, he knew that the prestige of the Chinese soldiers among the guerrillas at this time was already far above him, and once the Chinese soldiers were given a chance to explain...... Then he was afraid that he would never have a chance to take the valley.

"Battalion commander! Hand over the battalion headquarters to me! Zhao Jingping said: "I have always been in charge of the logistics of the Xijieao Valley, and I should stay behind as a matter of course......

"I'll leave the work to me!" The instructor said: "I am in charge of the ideological work of the troops, and I do not play any role on the battlefield, but in this valley of Sijieo...... This is the time for us political cadres to play a role, so I decided to stay...... While you're out preparing for battle, I'll be able to do my last bit in the valley! ”

I have to admit that there is some truth in what the instructor said...... The Hijeo Valley is in great need of someone like the instructor to create some public opinion, especially at this time...... Public opinion building may be more useful than the barrel of a gun, although the chances may be slim.

So I nodded to the instructor and said, "I will leave the guard platoon, two interpreters, and a few trusted guerrillas as soon as I find out that something is wrong...... Flee into the mountains and wait for us to come back!" ”

"Don't worry!" The instructor shook my hand and said, "I'll take care of myself!" ”

"Old Wu ......"

"Don't say anything!" The instructor patted me on the shoulder: "That's it!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded silently, and kept saying to myself...... As long as it is a battlefield, there will be sacrifices, there will be dangers, and I can't change that!

Actually, I understand...... It's just my self-comfort!

"Battalion commander!" However, at this moment, Zhao Jingping came to report to me: "There is news from the sniper...... Apuchu has found an opportunity to get rid of Aduzai's surveillance and is secretly coming to the battalion headquarters! ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and then I quickly knew what Apuchu was here for......

Obviously, after a few days of ideological struggle, or rather, he was originally supporting us in his heart, but because Aduzai was closely watching, he didn't dare to do anything even if he had other thoughts in his heart. Now he has finally escaped Aduzai's surveillance...... Anyway, it's not very difficult for him, from Orion...... If you go around in the mountains or in the woods, you won't be able to trap others in it!

What is he going to do?

There is no doubt that he was planning to come to ventilate!

This would have been a good thing...... This at least proves that Apuchu, as an "aborigine", was able to take the bigger picture and abandon his own people and choose to side with us...... Later I learned that Apchu's pressure was not the only one, and that the reason why Aduzai had the confidence to control and win over some of the minor leaders was not just because they had a common interest...... Get us out of the way, and they'll be as powerful as ever.

More importantly...... Aduzai was also a native of the Hijeo Valley, so he knew all about the relatives and whereabouts of the leaders of Apucho...... In fact, this is not a difficult matter, most of the relatives of these leaders moved to Pakistan when we moved the refugees, so Aduzai only needs to contact a few cronies in the refugee camp to directly threaten the safety of these relatives, which is also one of the cards that Aduzai dares to let go of the forces to launch a riot.

So...... In doing so, Apuchu not only gave up his own community, but even put his own relatives in a very dangerous situation.

But I thought about it again...... But he secretly said that it was not good...... It's good if Apuchu hadn't been discovered by Aduzai, but if Aduzai's men found out, wouldn't that mean our entire plan would have gone bankrupt?

To put it simply...... It's just that we have been painstakingly preparing for a few days, but it is possible that it will all be burned because of Apuchu's surrender...... That's how ironic things are sometimes!

"How far is he from the battalion headquarters?" I asked anxiously.

"Ten minutes to go!" Zhao Jingping replied.

"Send someone to intercept him immediately!" I said, "I can't let him go to the battalion headquarters ......"

"But ......" Zhao Jingping asked embarrassedly: "How to intercept?" Intercepting the same will also arouse Aduzai's suspicion! ”

I think it's right...... Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? I'm in a hurry!

I quickly realized that now was the time for me to make a choice...... Whether to trust Apuchu or not! (To be continued......)
