Chapter 20 Replenishment

If you want to ask which Soviet Red Army team is the most powerful in Afghanistan, any insider will know that it is the 103rd Airborne Division. In the action to suppress the Prague Spring, the 103rd Airborne Division told the world how an airborne force subverted a country overnight. The Soviet Ministry of Defense also proved once again that air transport + airborne = victory The correctness of a formula.

However, after such a team came to Afghanistan, it suffered a big setback in the last month of 1980. Hafizollah Qasim Wardak, a little-known guy, an ordinary Afghan soldier who graduated from the Kabul Military Academy, actually led his group of guerrillas who were not even considered soldiers to defeat the loaded The 103rd Airborne Division in the military textbooks of various countries, this is simply a fairytale victory.

Although the Soviets announced afterwards that they had wiped out most of the armed forces led by Hafizola Qasim Wardak and killed their number two, Hafizola Qasim Wardak brother Abdul. But anyone with a discerning eye understands that if it weren't for the conflicts between the Pashtuns and the Tajik tribes, Hafizola-Qasim-Wardak could have eliminated these Soviets almost effortlessly.

The name of Hafizola Qasim Wardak instantly became popular among the fighters. These guerrillas know what level they are, so they shoot cold shots, plant landmines, destroy roads, wires, and oil pipelines, and at most they set up bombs to destroy government departments. Now there is a team that has fought the Soviets with real swords and guns, and almost wiped out the opponent. Hafizollah Qasim Wardak instantly won the respect of almost all the fighters. Of course, except for the neighbors of Hafizola-Qasim-Wardak, no tribe would want to be neighbors with a powerful armed force, even if they were allies in name.

Soon Hafizola-Qasim-Wardak's site appeared many people who came here admiringly. There is a small group of armed forces that bring people to join them. These people have a bad reputation. Sometimes they are soldiers, sometimes they are bandits. Hafizollah Qasim Wardak would not let these people join his team.

For Hafizollah Qassem Wardak, others are far more reliable. The first person to reach out to Hafizollah Qassem Wardak was someone from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence. They brought U.S. arms and financial support to Hafizola Qasim Wardak, and Hafizola Qasim Wardak had no reason to refuse their offer, he could see the ISI The office is just an intermediary, and it is the Americans who stand behind the ISI who really fancy Hafizollah Qassem Wardak.

The second contact Hafizola-Qasim-Wardak is China, a neighboring country of Afghanistan. Hafizola-Qasim-Wardak is only interested in the military advisers sent by the Chinese. The weapons provided by the Chinese are not of much interest, after all, there are weapons from the Americans. It is a pity that the Americans behind the ISI do not want their weapons, such as anti-aircraft missiles, to fall into the hands of the Chinese, so Hafizola Qasim Wardak can only decline the help of the Chinese.

The third wave of guys coming to our door are musilin volunteers from all over the world, most of them are from the Middle East. These people were generally well-educated and full of ideals, and Hafizola Qasim Wardak was full of affection for them. Although they were not able to go to the battlefield immediately, Hafizollah Qasim Wardak kept them all. He opened a training camp for these volunteers and selected a few from his own staff. Great fighters train them specifically.

It can be said that during this period of time Hafizollah Qasim Wardak's strength was not only resurrected with full blood,

And there has been a leap in quantity and quality. He is now more confident to fight the Soviets again, but it will take some time for the illiterate guerrillas under Hafizola Qassem Wardak to master advanced American weapons. Musilin volunteers from various countries also need some time to train. So Hafizollah Qasim Wardak needed time to recharge his batteries and thus temporarily reduced his military activities.

Hafizola-Qasim-Wardak hid temporarily, but the other fighters were inspired by Hafizola-Qasim-Wardak's victory and became active like chicken blood up. In just one month, several explosions occurred in the city of Kabul. The Afghan government forces and the police of the Internal Affairs Bureau were exhausted and could not maintain the safety of the citizens of Kabul. The Afghan government could only turn to the Soviet army for help.

However, Xie Liaosha didn't care about outside affairs at this time. With Xie Liaosha and the others successfully passing the paratrooper assessment, Xie Liaosha was officially appointed as the platoon leader. The military rank was directly changed to a second lieutenant, and since then Xie Liaosha has become an officer of the Red Army, and he is no longer a big soldier.

However, what Seryozha did not expect was that he immediately encountered big trouble as a platoon leader, because he had never been an officer of a combat unit and lacked experience. Xie Liaosha joined the armed police force in his previous life, and usually faced drug dealers, smugglers and other "outstanding" ordinary people. The 103rd Airborne Division is an airborne force that can be equated to special forces, and their enemies are professional soldiers with military literacy. Moreover, the armed police are in an advantageous position in most situations when facing criminals. However, the airborne troops use their small forces to destroy valuable targets, and most of the time they have to face enemies that are several times their own. The difference in these aspects made Seryosha uncomfortable with the position of platoon leader.

What made Seryozha even more angry was that among the newcomers who graduated from the new barracks, all the outstanding guys were snatched away by other platoons, and the soldiers under Seryozha were all unwanted by others. Because Seryozha had just taken office, he couldn't compete with the old platoon leaders of other platoons. Inexperienced and with a bad hand, the troops led by Sergey Shah were at the bottom of several consecutive assessments. Seryozha not only felt that he was shameless, but more importantly, he felt sorry for the commander Grachev who had given him trust.

It is impossible for Seryozha to ask Grachev to help in this matter. After all, he is the head of the regiment and wants a bowl of water. Moreover, the instructor introduced by Grachev was mainly in charge of ideology and politics, not military affairs, and Seryozha had no way to discuss it with him. The most terrible thing is that Seryozha, who has just joined the army for less than a year, has no connections among the officers. Only Lebed introduced by Grachev can be said to speak.

Therefore, the desperate Seryozha set his mind on this outstanding student from Frunze.
