Chapter 352: Entering Jalalabad

Osama often disobeys military orders, so Durrani must vaccinate him. He cannot act without authorization. This is the arrangement made by Mhamad.

"I know, I'm just curious." Osama said, "I'm sleepy and going to bed. When should we take action?"

"Tomorrow during the day, sneak in. Tomorrow night, launch an attack." Durrani said, this place is only a few dozen kilometers away from Jalalabad.

"Okay." Osama said, yawned and left. He really wanted to attack Kabul, but this thought was stopped abruptly. His Excellency Mhamad must have had his intentions when he gave such command. Osama is just weird.

Islamabad.

Mhamad looked at the large-scale sand table, quietly lost in thought. On the side, Mushaaf said: "Now, the Soviets think they have the initiative. As long as they continue to encircle and suppress them, they will definitely achieve results. They don't know We still have enough strength. This attack is a surprise attack. Kabul is the northern stronghold of the Soviets, and it is now empty. Why don’t we attack Kabul directly?”

Mushaaf was also surprised that this time the tactical target, Mhamad, was not that radical. Compared with Kabul, Jalalabad's status would have dropped a lot.

"We not only have to consider seizing the city, but also what happens after the city is captured." Mhammad said: "What will the Soviets do when they find out that their rear city has been captured?"

Musaaf's eyelids twitched immediately: "President, are you saying that there will be a brutal street fighting in Jalalabad?"

"Yes, street fighting, we have been hiding in the mountains. The Soviets wanted to find an opportunity to encircle us, but they never realized it. Now, they finally got their wish. We captured Jalalabad. They will definitely come out of the mountains and try to attack us in Jalalabad. A large-scale street battle is necessary to encircle and annihilate us in Rabad," said Mhammad.

Mhammad saw further, capturing Jalalabad would be easy. It was difficult to defend Jalalabad. Of all the battles, street fighting was the most brutal.

but. If you want to win on the battlefield in Afghanistan, it is essential to make the Soviet army bow its head and engage in street fighting.

The flood in Bagram killed more than 20,000 Soviet people. Although the Soviets were angry, they still believed that they had a huge advantage in Jalalabad. Through a street battle, a large number of Soviets were wiped out again. The Soviets would definitely not be able to bear the huge losses.

Afghanistan's independence must still be achieved through the bloodshed and sacrifice of Afghan soldiers.

Since a street battle is inevitable, Jalalabad has a greater advantage than Kabul. We have the most complete intelligence system here and the residents here. The support rate for the Free Government of Afghanistan is also the highest. With them, the Free Afghan Army is at home.

At the same time, it was very close to Pakistan, when Jalalabad was captured by the Free Army. Our side can provide the Free Army with urgently needed supplies such as weapons, ammunition, and food in the shortest possible time. To provide support, even when necessary, the Pakistani army can dress up as the Free Afghan Army and fight alongside them. If Kabul is too far away, with Jalalabad in between, it would be impossible to provide effective support.

In Jalalabad, 5,000 to 10,000 Soviets were wiped out and their hopes were shattered. The Afghan Free Army, with its powerful combat power, could definitely fight them head-on!

"Let them continue to stay in the mountains to contain the Soviet troops and prevent them from dispatching more troops to besiege Jalalabad." Hammad said: "Tell Durrani that in Jalalabad , there is a fierce battle waiting for them, and when they capture Jalalabad, they must immediately launch a defense. "

"Yes." Mushaaf said, "So, how long will they fight this battle?"

"It won't be too long. In two months, the severe cold weather in Afghanistan will arrive, and the Soviets should stop attacking. After surviving this cold winter, Jalalabad will have passed the most difficult time." Mha Mader said: "At the same time, we must also use diplomatic efforts to give the Afghan free government a chance."

Diplomatic effort! War is not the goal, it is just a last resort. In the end, both sides have to sit at the negotiating table.

This is the case with the dispute with India that just ended.

And now Afghanistan is constantly consuming the strength of the Soviet Union. The weak national power of the Soviet Union can no longer withstand such drag. The cold winter is not easy for the Soviet people. In Moscow stores, people have to queue for hours. Only with a small team can they buy the bread they need.

Didn’t Gorbachev want reforms? He needs help from the West! The Soviets need bread and they want to obtain food, so just show enough sincerity!

Mhammad is confident.

The Pamir Plateau has a refreshing autumn scene. White clouds float in the blue sky. Under the white clouds are rolling mountains. From time to time, gunfire can be heard in the mountains, causing birds to fly in all directions.

In the gaps between the mountains, there are also some plain areas. Afghanistan’s cities are mainly located on these plain areas.

Jalalabad.

The soldiers of the Afghan government army sat lazily on a Kamaz military vehicle next to them. They stood guard at the intersection and set up roadblocks. Most of the time, they were just pretending.

The main force had already gone into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Afghan Free Army. It was unknown how long they could hold out. Maybe they would all be wiped out if they could not survive this winter. It was heard that their own army had occupied the station of the Afghan Free Government a few days ago. There was nothing left there except a few dilapidated houses. The old nest had been captured. Would the Afghan Free Army run to Pakistan for refuge?

"Here they come!" At this moment, a sharp-eyed soldier shouted.

"Quick, cheer up!" The leading squad leader shouted.

Finally someone came! We have to check it carefully!

A group of people came from a distance. There were more than 20 of them. They were driving a few donkeys and pulling donkey carts. On the donkey carts, there were flower baskets they had woven themselves, which should be filled with fruits.

After several years of war, Afghanistan is left with only agriculture. In addition to wheat and cotton, many places in the mountains of Afghanistan grow fruit trees. At this time of year, the fruits have just matured, and there are mountain people nearby who bring the fruits to the big cities to sell.

This is obviously a team of mountain people selling fruits. They are afraid of being bullied by city people, so there are dozens of people coming out at a time.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The squad leader shouted at them.

"This soldier, let's go in and sell some fruits." The leader, a big beard wearing a robe, said to him.

"What's on the car?"

"All fruits."

"Really?" The squad leader said: "Recently, the rebels are fleeing everywhere. We must strictly check to prevent the rebels from entering the city! Come on, search for me!"

"Yes!" The two soldiers behind came up, picked up a basket of fruits from the donkey cart, and dumped it on the ground fiercely.

"Wow." The fruits were scattered and rolled everywhere.

"This basket is fine." The two soldiers threw the basket aside and continued to move the second basket. This posture was to pour out all the fruits for inspection.

Fruits are most afraid of being knocked. Once they are knocked, their appearance will be greatly reduced, and they will go bad in two days. These Afghan mountain people are immediately very uncomfortable.

"What? Want to resist?" The squad leader picked up his rifle, and pulled the bolt with a loud noise.

Some of these mountain residents are also very fierce. Even if they have a knife, they dare to rush up and fight desperately, so the squad leader must also prevent these people from taking action.

"Sir, we have fruits here, nothing else." The bearded man said to the squad leader, and then took out a few large-denomination Afghanis from his pocket and stuffed them into the squad leader's hand.

Sure enough, he knew what was going on. The squad leader was very satisfied: "Okay, no need to check, let's go!"

Picking up the fruits from the ground and putting them back in the basket, the team slowly walked in.

Not long after, such a situation was almost happening on all the roads leading into the city.

More than 200 guards sneaked into Jalalabad in this way. When the donkey cart slowly drove on the street and finally entered a courtyard, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Move the fruits on the car away, and in the middle, remove the fruits covered in several fruit baskets, revealing the shiny weapons.

"Check the weapons, it's up to us tonight." Osama said.

In addition to automatic rifles, grenades, there are also rocket launchers. If it weren't for the limited space, they could even bring in heavy machine guns and anti-tank missiles.

"Yes." Everyone agreed and quickly checked their weapons.

"Sir Osama, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Just then, a man came in from outside.

Everyone's guns were pointed at him, and when he saw the man's appearance clearly, Osama was suddenly happy: "Khadim?"

"Minister of Economy, you still remember me." Khadim said.

Dana left, left Jalalabad, and became the prime minister, while Khadim still stayed in Jalalabad and has been fighting underground here.

Now, this day has finally arrived, and our troops are about to gloriously liberate this city!

"Stop talking nonsense," Osama said, "When this place is liberated, you will at least be the mayor of Jalalabad, or even the mayor of Kabul. When the time comes, find me some land so I can build a villa."

"Okay, I'll give you this yard now."

"No, it's too small."

The two laughed, they were just joking.

After laughing, Khadim regained his serious look and said, "Osama, we need to study the specific action plan. I have already figured out the situation of the remaining team. Here is the map."

Osama looked at the map drawn by Khadim, on which the layout of the defenders was clearly drawn. More than 200 people on his side could handle it. (To be continued ~^~)
