Chapter 290 Southern Afghanistan

Afghanistan.

This summer, the entire northern mountainous area is busy with activity.

In the past, people in mountainous areas had to live on the barren land. Their lives were difficult and isolated, and tribes had no contact with each other.

But now, the simply opened mountain roads are roaring constantly, Steyr heavy trucks are carrying ore back and forth, and wealth is constantly accumulating.

The Afghan free government has gradually built up its finances. Even if it does not rely on external assistance, they are full of confidence in winning this war.

People who have become wealthy will fight hard to defend the fruits of victory, and their morale is high.

"With our current strength, we can attack big cities." A voice came from a room in the mountains, where the Afghan Free Government is located.

"Osama, this is not your concern." Another voice said: "Just take care of your finances."

"Khwaja, although I am the Minister of Economy, I am also the captain of the Free Guard, and I am a force directly under the control of His Excellency Mhamad! You still can't order me!" Osama said: "If you don't agree, I will Take my people and take down Jalalabad first. I'm going to be exhausted in this mountainous area."

Dana looked at the two people arguing. In the past six months, Osama and Khwaja had argued more than once over the war.

"Without His Excellency Mhamad's order, we will continue to implement the current policy." Dana said.

Dana certainly knows what Osama is thinking. This guy’s hands are itchy after not fighting for three days. If he had been made the Minister of Defense, he would have captured many cities long ago, and His Excellency Mhamad made him the economics officer. minister. Regardless of the military, there must be a purpose.

Now, the economy of the free government has been greatly improved, the people have money, and the entire occupied area is prosperous and developing vigorously.

Just by looking at the new uniforms of the army, we can see that the government has plenty of money and the equipment of the army. They have also made substantial development. They are no longer guerrillas and have become a regular army!

As for the Soviets, there has been no movement in the past six months. As long as the Pakistani free government does not send troops to attack them, they also defend the big cities and enjoy themselves. Both sides seem to be able to live in peace.

This short-lived peace allowed the free government to develop rapidly. Once its own side breaks this situation. So, if there is another war, it will be easy to accumulate wealth. Maybe it will disappear again.

Therefore, Dana is also very inclined to maintain the status quo.

"Dana, you woman, don't talk." Osama was almost going crazy here. Seeing Dana always helping Khwaja to speak, Osama couldn't help but get angry with Dana.

"Stop arguing." At this moment, another person walked in with a gloomy face. It is the president of the free Afghan government, Durrani.

"President, it's up to you to judge." Osama's villain complained first: "We have eaten and drank enough. If the troops don't fight, they will deteriorate to the point where they can no longer fight."

"Osama, there is the latest mission." Durrani said: "Secret mission, you take your people. Enter the south, the mission is to provoke a conflict between the guerrillas in the south and the Soviets. The bigger the better!"

This mission came from Pakistan. Hamad personally instructed.

Now, the north is quiet. The south is also very quiet, but the quietness in the north is different from the quietness in the south.

The tranquility in the north was created by fighting. The strength of the Afghan Free Army in the north is now enough to capture cities and territories and defeat the Soviets steadily.

In particular, whenever there is a war, the Pakistan Air Force will fly in to protect the airspace here. The airspace belongs to the Pakistanis. The Soviet ground troops are useless if they are dispatched. They have lost their air supremacy. Even the hinds dare not fly into the mountains. Destroy the Free Afghan Army? It would be good enough not to be wiped out by the Free Afghan Army.

However, the south is different. The guerrillas in the south have no ability to fight against the Soviet army. In the past, they were suppressed and beaten by the Soviet army. Now, they live in peace with the Soviet army, which is very problematic. In the past, the Soviets had taken detours to transport supplies, and it was almost certain that they had reached some kind of agreement with the Soviet army.

The North cannot start another war, so if we want to fight, we can only start it in the South!

After hearing this order, Osama suddenly looked excited: "Okay!"

I have long wanted to fight, but now I finally have something to do!

Unlike the north, many areas in the south are plains.

The main city in southern Afghanistan, Kandahar, is located on the plains downstream of the Arghandab River.

To the southwest of Kandahar is the desert.

Leaving the plateau, the climate here is very hot.

Southeast of Kandahar, air base.

This is an important air force base in southern Afghanistan, where a large number of Soviet soldiers and Afghan puppet government troops are stationed.

When they first entered here, the Soviet Air Force was very worried about opposition from Iran. Soon, they became bold. Due to the tense relations between Iran and Iraq, they simply did not have the energy to take into account the situation in Afghanistan. At most, they just exported some Just weapons.

Therefore, the Soviet Air Force stationed here is mainly Mi-24, MiG-21 and MiG-23, most of which are used for ground support and eliminating threats from the south.

They went very well.

They did not participate in the air battles in the north. They only raided the guerrilla strongholds in the center.

In the past six months, they have only been conducting some daily training in the base.

Before the arrival of new fighters, the Pakistani Air Force firmly controlled the air superiority. It is said that the bigwigs of the military in Moscow are very indignant and are putting more pressure on the Mikoyan Design Bureau and the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and new fighters are being actively developed.

They need to accumulate strength and let the Pakistanis run rampant for a while. In order to deal with the Afghan Freedom Party government in the north, they have to stabilize the south. The way to stabilize is also very simple. They have a common goal with the Afghan guerrillas in the south, so it is easy to reach an agreement.

The strong wind blew up the yellow sand and flew everywhere. The whole base was blown so hard that no one could be seen.

This kind of weather is not a good weather for flying, especially when the aircraft engine inhales the yellow sand particles, which will greatly reduce the life of the engine.

However, the two MiG-21s still came to the runway, and even the tractors that towed them seemed to be blown away by the wind.

The canopy was closed, and Afghan pilots Choudhry and Suliman looked at the yellow sand outside the cockpit, feeling somewhat helpless.

Daily air patrols were necessary, as they announced that they still had a firm grasp on this airspace.

However, this kind of patrol was actually unnecessary, because they did not dare to enter the airspace of the Afghan Free Government at all, and only flew in the rest of the airspace, which made them even more incompetent.

Moreover, in such windy weather, the Soviet pilots were unwilling to go out, so they handed over the patrol task to the pilots of the Afghan puppet government.

"Kandahar, request to take off." Choudhry said on the radio, and the sound of the wind seemed to be heard even on the radio.

"You can take off." An echo came from the headset.

Choudhry released the brakes, pushed the throttle to the full, the engine roared, and the fighter plane taxied on the runway.

Gusts of crosswinds made the small MiG-21 shake a little. If the crosswind was too strong and the wings of the MiG-21 flipped, he would crash during takeoff.

However, he could only do so. Fortunately, although the shaking was still acceptable, the fighter plane was getting faster and faster. Finally, he pulled the control stick back, and the fighter plane suddenly became lighter and left the runway.

Climbing, when it rises to a high altitude, the airflow is not so strong. It is almost sunny above 10,000 meters!

The two MiG-21s continued to climb, and no one noticed the two flames that suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Qiao Deli felt the fuselage shake, and then the instruments in front of him began to fall rapidly, with countless red lights flashing.

Engine failure, loss of hydraulic oil pressure!

Oops, it's going to crash! Intuitively, he wanted to pull the ejection handle, but looking at the yellow sand blown up by the strong wind outside, he knew that if he ejected, he would probably die faster. In this strong wind, the parachute would definitely not be able to unfold.

Forced landing! He operated the fighter plane with force, and continued to descend in the strong wind and yellow sand until yellow sand suddenly appeared in front of him, and the fighter plane had arrived in the desert.

The nose of the plane plunged into a sand dune. He felt countless yellow sands rushing towards him. The huge force of the impact made him faint...

The wingman behind him was not as lucky as him and disintegrated in the air.

When dusk came, the wind and sand gradually subsided.

A search team finally found the MiG-21 fighter with half of its fuselage plunged into the sand dune. The rear fuselage had been blown to pieces.

Found it! Finally found it! The search team was very happy and began to rescue the fighter.

When the head of the fighter was pulled out, the pilot inside was no longer breathing. He was not killed by the impact, but was suffocated to death. There was no oxygen inside under the sand dune, and the oxygen carried by the fighter could only last for two hours.

They observed the rear of the fighter again and finally found the problem. The fighter did not crash due to bad weather. The cause of the crash was that it was attacked by a portable missile and the engine was hit!

It has always been safe here. After reaching an agreement with the southern guerrillas, there have been no more attacks. Could it be that the Afghan guerrillas went back on their word? Or was it done by the people in the north?

This special incident made the commander of the Kandahar Air Force Base suddenly uneasy. He sat in his office, waiting for the analysis results to come out. (To be continued ~^~)
