Soviet Union 1991

The seventh update is complete

Perhaps these armed personnel who have never experienced true fear find it difficult to understand how terrible the Soviet soldiers who fought for their beliefs were. The German Wehrmacht, which confronted the Soviet Red Army at that time, knew best how frightening the Red Army was that shouted "Ura" all over the mountains and plains. Even after many years, when they recalled it, they only had the most profound and instinctive fear in their minds.

Just like their slogan of Allahhu Akbar, the GRU soldiers for the motherland stubbornly resisted the first wave of attacks. The GRU members who always believed that caliber is justice and firepower is truth brought in ags-17 grenade launchers, which were smuggled from the Soviet Union. Each 30mm grenade explosion caused great casualties to the attacking Libyan Freedom Battalion armed personnel. Not only did they pay the price of destroying three armed pickup trucks, but they even failed to capture the main gate.

Facing the Libyan armed militias who were retreating one after another, the soldiers standing on the roof raised their middle fingers at them. A pile of bodies had fallen in front of the embassy. They were all the free camp militias who tried to invade the embassy.

Moscow was in an uproar at this time. Defense Minister Yazov, who was about to fall asleep, was forcibly pulled out of bed and rushed to the White House. At the same time, there was also Comrade Kryuchkov, Chairman of the KGB. When they arrived at the conference room on the third floor of the Kremlin, Yanaev was smoking dully.

Others also arrived one after another. Comrade Yazov looked around. They were basically high-level officials of the Air Force, including even Air Force Commander-in-Chief Deinekin. There was definitely no good news when so many powerful military-background high-level officials gathered together.

"Our embassy in Benghazi was attacked by militants. The current casualties are uncertain. The security personnel in the embassy are fighting with the militants."

Yanaev's words instantly ignited the silent conference room. Everyone was whispering, because this matter was too sensitive, and even Defense Minister Yazov didn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

"No need to discuss. Before you came here, all the plans you could think of had been implemented. Including asking for help from our allies." Yanaev threw away his cigarette butt, crossed his hands, and said coldly, "Including asking for help from the Libyan United Revolutionary Front and the Red Crescent Brigade, but the response they received was that they could not spare troops. Almost at the same time as the Benghazi embassy was attacked, the Freedom Battalion launched an attack on the other two organizations."

When Yanaev said this, everyone was silent. In this way, the attack on the embassy was not an accident, but a trap designed by someone.

"What about the Libyan opposition government? They can't just watch the embassy of a country being attacked in their own base, right?" Deinekin asked.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs tried to interfere with the Libyan opposition, but the response was unclear. It seems that the person who designed this plan was very thoughtful, and all the forces that the Soviet Union could seek help from were blocked by him."

Yazov took a breath of cold air, which meant that the other party was definitely another country that wanted to further stir up the situation in Benghazi. The death of the Soviet ambassador there not only hit the Soviet Union's foreign strategy, but also quickly filled the power vacuum in Benghazi. The countries that went to Benghazi were all attracted by oil without exception.

"So comrades, now is the time to show our attitude. Soviet ambassador, do you want to save or not?" Yanaev now wants everyone present to vote on their attitude.

"Save, how to save?" Kryuchkov asked. This is a big problem. If the Soviet Union sends troops into Libya, it means interfering in Libya's internal affairs and provoking the sovereignty of the opposition. At that time, it will definitely be used by Western countries to make a big fuss. Maybe the other party hopes that the Soviet Union will do so to force the Soviet Union to withdraw from Libya.

"Remember Israel's Thunderbolt Operation Plan?" Yanaev asked.

Comrade Kryuchkov nodded. Operation Thunderbolt was a great feat in the history of hostage rescue. Israeli special forces traveled through five countries to Uganda and successfully rescued the crew members held hostage by the Palestine Liberation Organization. When Yanaev mentioned this, Kryuchkov understood Yanaev's intention. But Benghazi is not Uganda, and it is impossible to achieve the goal of evacuating immediately after rescuing the besieged people.

"Even if our assault team takes off from Ukraine and rushes to Benghazi, the time it takes is far beyond the time they can sustain. How to rescue them?" Kryuchkov raised another question.

"What if we take off in Syria?" Yanaev asked back.

Take off in Syria? Kryuchkov was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect there was such a trick.

"We have a GRU intelligence unit stationed at our air force base in Syria, which can go to Benghazi for rescue, but these people must wear clothes and equipment without any national logo, and these people are not special forces sent by the Soviet government, but volunteers without any name."

"I understand. Using this unmarked unit can cleverly avoid the accusations of international public opinion. In this way, we will not be protested by the Libyan interim government. Moreover, the aircraft requisitioned are Syrian, so even if the opposition base wants to find fault, they can't find any thorns."

"Yes, that's it." Yanayev nodded.

"Those armed men who attempted to hijack the ambassador also wanted a quick victory. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it was for them. After completing this series of actions, the Red Crescent Brigade and the Libyan United Revolutionary Front will also go to assist the Soviet Embassy. , then those anti-Soviet armed personnel will have no chance.”

Kryuchkov had to admire Yanayev's thoughtfulness, which allowed the special forces to enter Libya openly without being criticized by international public opinion.

"Time is urgent. Comrades Kryuchkov and Yazov are also requested to quickly come up with a feasible plan for rescue. Comrade Deinegin, the Air Force hopes that you can deploy reliable pilots in time. "

"No problem." Deinekin nodded.

Yanayev said seriously, "Comrades, we will never abandon any of our compatriots. Even if we will be stigmatized later, the government will take them back, whether they are ambassadors or civilians, and let every overseas citizen The people know that the motherland is their eternal backing.” (To be continued.)
