Dominate South Asia

Chapter 122 Three Groups

"At the same time, I will contact those who support us and ask them to continue to support weapons, which can be allocated to your guerrillas. The specific quota will be determined by the instructor." Muhammad said.

Muhammad's words made them happy. In the past, they joined the alliance to get support from the West. Now, Mr. Muhammad in front of them also has his own channels to ask Westerners for weapons. That's great! The alliance has always been stingy and unwilling to give more weapons. Now that there is Mr. Muhammad, what is the need for the alliance?

Muhammad knew that the conditions he offered moved everyone.

"Masood, what choice do you Panjshir guerrillas make? Join the Free Army, or let me send instructors?" Muhammad asked Masood on the side.

Masood smiled bitterly in his heart. Do he have a choice?

During the attack on Jalalabad, he and Muhammad had a falling out and almost came to blows. Now the facts have proved that Muhammad was right. With so many guerrilla fighters killed, he should have been shot long ago. It was Muhammad who came forward and saved him.

Masood knew that in terms of ability, he was indeed not as good as Muhammad. Although Tajiks are usually arrogant, they are also aware of the times and repay their gratitude.

Moreover, the mission of the second regiment of Muhammad's Free Army is to fight guerrillas in the Panjshir area, which clearly shows Muhammad's position. Masood knows what to do.

"Only unity can bring freedom to Afghanistan. We Panjshir guerrillas are willing to join the Free Army and fight the Soviets together until the Soviets are driven out!" said Massoud.

The largest guerrilla group has joined, and the rest have also expressed their willingness to join. Only one or two small guerrilla groups are willing to invite the instructors sent by Muhammad.

Muhammad was not polite either. He immediately assigned the three corps properly. Now, there are 623 people left here, including Muhammad's people. In addition to 31 people who are unwilling to join, there are 592 people. The number of people in each corps is less than 200.

Muhammad will not keep the people of the same guerrillas together and disrupt them all. For example, the Panjshir guerrillas are evenly divided into three corps. Muhammad's meaning is very simple. In this way, each corps has people from all over the country, who can be familiar with the terrain of any area in the north, which is convenient for mobile operations when necessary.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Only Masood knew in his heart that Muhammad was not simple at all. In this way, the risk of internal fighting was eliminated. When it comes to the means of controlling military power, Muhammad is unambiguous.

When assigning corps commanders, they are all Muhammad's people. The commander of the first corps is Khwaja, the commander of the second corps is Durrani, and the commander of the third corps is Fahim.

Durrani is still leading the fifty cavalrymen in the mountains. After the reunion, Durrani will take over the post of the head of the second regiment, and the fifty cavalrymen will be directly under Muhammad, becoming a guard battalion and artillery battalion. Muhammad does not hold a specific position on the surface, but the entire army belongs to him completely.

Fahim is also Muhammad's man. After the conflict with Massoud, Fahim stood firmly on Muhammad's side. Now, Fahim has become the head of the third regiment, which is actually a transport captain.

In the mountains east of Jalalabad, by the flooded Kabul River, Afghanistan's strongest legion was born. These naked guerrillas who had just dried their clothes with the cold wind had infinite power in their hearts. They are no longer fighting alone, they are an army! Under the leadership of His Excellency Muhammad, they will kill the Soviets!

The team continued to move forward. Muhammad looked at Osama who was walking silently on the side, followed him and said, "Osama, are you unhappy?"

"No, how could I be unhappy?" Osama said.

"When I announced the name of the leader, you had expectations." Muhammad said.

"No, why would I want to be the leader?" Osama continued.

Osama couldn't hide it from Muhammad. He knew it from Osama's eyes. Muhammad continued to walk beside Osama and said, "Originally, I was going to appoint you as the leader of the third regiment, but then I thought, you have a more important task."

More important task? Osama immediately turned his head and looked at Muhammad: "What mission?"

"Our cavalry." Muhammad said: "They are the most powerful unit with rocket launchers. Just last night, they attacked Bagram Air Base and fought brilliantly."

"Sir Muhammad, do you want me to be the captain of that team?" Osama said.

"Yes." Muhammad said: "That cavalry is my direct guard."

Osama immediately smiled: "Sir Muhammad, I will faithfully complete my mission!"

Thinking of those rockets falling from the sky and exploding on the heads of the Soviets, Osama was full of excitement.

"Sir Muhammad, you didn't give Massoud the position of the head of the regiment. Will he be dissatisfied?" Osama whispered to Muhammad.

Originally, Osama thought that the head of the second regiment would become Massoud. After all, he was the leader of the Panjshir guerrillas.

"He won't." Muhammad said calmly: "No matter where we are, we are fighting the Soviets and fighting to liberate Afghanistan."

Mhammad would not be so stupid. He finally tamed Massoud and gave him the position of regiment commander. Soon, his self-confidence would soar again. Muhammad would not take care of Massoud's emotions and give him such an important position. In many cases, suppressing a person would make the other party more convinced.

The Soviets besieged fiercely and watched the guerrillas being completely surrounded. They could almost wipe out the rebellion in the north in one fell swoop. From Moscow to the attacking troops, they were all waiting for the moment to finally kill the guerrillas.

In this situation, a sudden change occurred. Without any signs, these guerrillas ran away without a trace. At the same time, the news of the bombing of Bagram base came out.

In Afghanistan, these news were spreading. Before we knew it, it became that Mr. Muhammad led the guerrillas to fight the Soviets in Jalalabad, killing many Soviets. Then, he went to Bagram and blew up all the planes there, killing tens of thousands of Soviets.

The news kept spreading, and Muhammad became a tall figure.

Mr. Muhammad was as strong as a bull! He could lift a Soviet with one hand!

Mr. Muhammad could shoot down a Soviet plane with a rifle!

Muhammad became a hero among the people, and even children knew about Muhammad's deeds.

Another news also came, that Mr. Muhammad created an army! The Afghan Free Army! This army specializes in fighting the Soviets!

Many young Afghan guys sneaked out of their homes, wanting to join the Afghan Free Army and fight for freedom!

The situation in the north was about to be settled, but it began to fall into chaos again.

Panjshir Valley.

"Boom, boom." The diesel engine roared, and a convoy was walking hard in the valley.

The wreckage of the car can be seen on the roadside. Since the guerrillas revived, fighting has occurred here almost every day.

The Soviet Union dispatched almost all transport planes to transport supplies to Bagram. Those bombed planes needed repairs, parts, and technicians. Just transporting these consumed all the Soviet air transport forces. Therefore, the task of transporting supplies to 100,000 troops could only fall to the ground transport team.

The Panjshir Valley became a headache for every officer and soldier of the transport team, but they had to bite the bullet.

For transportation, the Soviet Union also spent a lot of money. This transport team had only more than 50 cars, but was accompanied by five Shilehe self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. At the same time, there were five modified anti-aircraft gun trucks. Almost every four cars would be mixed with an anti-aircraft gun.

Practice has proved that anti-aircraft guns are the best choice for walking in mountainous areas. They have a wide firing angle and can easily hit the top of the mountain. They have strong firepower. Wherever there are guerrillas, they will open fire fiercely, especially in the Shile River. The four-barrel 23mm anti-aircraft guns, fully automatic shooting, will smash the target position into pieces in a few seconds.

In order to protect the convoy, the Soviets spent a lot of money. The cost of a Shile River self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is equivalent to the transportation of these materials.

At the same time, such a convoy coming here does play a sufficient deterrent role. Halfway through the Panjshir Valley, there is no contact with the guerrillas.

It seems that they are very sensible.

The commander of the transport team was relieved. Every time he walked here, it was like walking on the line of life and death. Those who had connections hoped to be transferred from the transport team as soon as possible. Only unlucky people like themselves would be sent to perform such tasks.

Keep going and leave the valley quickly!

You can't stay here. The small towns in the valley are full of guerrillas' eyes. If you stay for one night, you don't know how you died the next day.

After walking for several more hours, the nervous soldiers of the convoy were already exhausted. They still stared at the mountains on both sides. Bagram Air Force Base was still resting. There was no female deer here to protect them for the time being. They had to rely on themselves for everything.

There is another mountain. After crossing that mountain, they would be safe.

On one side of the hillside, Durani looked at the incoming transport convoy with a telescope and the anti-aircraft guns protecting it. He knew that this was a hard nut to crack. The harder it was, the more interested he was!

"Pay attention, aim for me. If anyone misses the target, he will not be allowed to participate in the battle for a week!" Durani whispered. On the side behind him, the anti-tank missile launcher lying on the ground was ready.
