I have no intention of entering the war for this Soviet sweep...... There are enough guerrillas in the mountains, and it's not that Hassan's lack of participation means that they will be swept away by the Soviet army...... In fact, this was impossible, and until the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, the guerrillas were not swept away, but they fought more and more and became stronger.

The instructor had the same view as I did, saying, "Our first battle ...... It is for Liwei, for being able to gain a firm foothold here, and for the work to be carried out smoothly...... Now that we have achieved this goal, we can think about the long-term situation with the Soviet devils! Guerrilla warfare...... It is the time for the enemy to advance, and I should not go head-to-head with the Soviet army at this time, and there is no point in doing so! We don't want to defend the high ground, and there is no city to defend ...... You can wait until this gust of wind has passed before you go to trouble the Soviets! ”

Hassan and the others originally had the mentality of going to the battlefield to fight again...... This is mainly because they have tasted the sweetness of victory, and you must know that they are originally just a unit that lacks equipment and quality in all aspects, and even if they move in the mountains, they are afraid that they will be eaten by other guerrillas...... But he was able to fight in Kabul and become famous.

And this is just the beginning of this fame, because of our strong support and the momentum of the battle in Kabul, more than 300 Afghans have joined Hassan's army in less than a month...... Not just to join, but also to equip and train them...... This made Hassan a little hard to believe that there would be such a good thing in this world.

So after this experience, Hassan and the others naturally want to take advantage of this time to make persistent efforts...... So I couldn't help but feel a little surprised when I listened to the instructor's words.

"I don't think it's the right time to attack this time!" I agreed: "First of all, we have just joined a new group of members...... As a result, there are problems within the unit such as the integration of new and old members, the problem of different training, and so on. Therefore, at this time, we should seize the time to actively train and prepare for the next battle. And not in a hurry to go into the mountains to confront the Soviet troops! ”

Then I turned to Hassan and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Our role is only that of advisors. So in the end, it was Hassan who made the decision.

Hassan looked at several of his guerrillas, nodded firmly, and said, "Your decision is mine, no problem...... Keep training! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded in satisfaction.

Although we have no command in name...... But the stakes are clear to Hassan, who could have said that there was nothing left, and that they had only grown in size with our assistance and training, and that they would continue to grow in this way...... Only a fool would disrespect our opinion, if we were unhappy...... I can support your army today, and I can support other troops tomorrow.

But then again...... Afghans are also quite righteous, which may have something to do with their religion. Just like Hassan...... Once we are friends, we are the kind that can call each other brothers without gaps.

So, he may not really think about anything serious, but he just thinks that what we say is credible, or that he simply respects our opinions as friends.

"But ......," I added, "we really need to think about the future...... This is not an option, our purpose is to confront the Soviet army and the government army...... But now we're spending most of our time in Pakistan and waiting for the storm to calm down...... It's not a long-term solution either! ”

"Yes!" As soon as I said this, Hassan became energetic again: "My men also said that this is not like a war, but like a refuge!" ”

"That's what I thought, too!" The instructor nodded and said, "First of all, if we continue like this for a long time, it will have an impact on morale, and secondly, we will not grasp the battlefield information in time and not respond quickly enough. And most importantly...... Each sortie had to cross the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Fight a battle after a long journey...... Then it's going to take a few days to return! ”

The instructor said this to my heart, just like the last time we fought...... After only one battle, he walked back and forth in the mountains for several days. The most tiring thing for the soldiers in the whole battle was not the battle, but the back and forth march on the road.

This is clearly inappropriate...... It's only the beginning of the war, what if it's in the middle and late stages? A unit has to return to Pakistan after a battle, which wastes too much manpower and material resources, not to mention that the front-line troops need support in case of an emergency situation...... When we arrive, I'm afraid the battle will be over long ago.

"So ......," I said, "we need to build a base in Afghanistan as well!" ”

Hassan and the others naturally nodded their heads busily when they heard my words...... Their hiding in Pakistan makes them feel like refugees, and now I hear that we are interested in establishing a base in Afghanistan.

"I agree to build a base!" Scar thought about it for a moment, then frowned and said, "There are many benefits to this, it can make our work easier to carry out...... The bases in Afghanistan were responsible for fighting the Soviets, and the bases in Pakistan were responsible for training, and a steady stream of supplies and training personnel were transported to the front-line bases......"

"But......" Scar said, "This base must have several conditions: easy to defend and difficult to attack, have a water source, be able to evacuate and conceal in time, and consider the difficulty of transporting supplies if possible......"

Of course, what Scar said makes sense, you must know that the Soviet army has completely mastered air supremacy...... If these conditions were not available, then the Soviet fighters and helicopters would have been solved by the two halves of our painstaking establishment of bases.

So I turned my gaze to Hassan, who was stunned...... Then he shook his head blankly.

Later, I learned that it was not that he did not know such places, but that he did not have much military literacy, and he did not have the sensitivity to the terrain of a professional soldier, even if it was a place that he was familiar with...... There was no such thing as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and to evacuate in time.

"I know a place!" Then Ragil interjected: "This place is a village and a valley...... It is about 30 kilometers from Kabul...... During the first sweep, we searched there and were stopped by several guerrillas who let us run away! ”

"Oh!" I couldn't help but be secretly happy when I heard this...... Fortunately, there are still a few guerrillas who have served in the government army. (To be continued......)
