Chapter 1163 New Year's Ice and Fire
During the Spring Festival, various ministries, agencies, and state-owned enterprises are holding New Year's party.
People from all walks of life, welcome the New Year together!
There is no concept of Spring Festival in the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq.
In the battlefields of Afghanistan, the coalition forces increased the intensity of the attack after New Year's Day in 2004, constantly dropping bombs through missiles and aircraft, and demonstrated their air superiority by relying on air supremacy.
Facing the strong offensive of the coalition forces, the guerrillas once again did not choose to fight the coalition forces head-on, but continued to abandon some cities and continue to fight guerrilla warfare.
In the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, there are elusive guerrillas everywhere.
The guerrillas do not fight head-on wars with the regular forces of the coalition forces, but continue to fight guerrilla warfare.
Various guerrilla tactics such as mine warfare, tunnel warfare, sparrow warfare, ambush warfare, sabotage warfare, siege warfare, etc. are constantly staged on the land of Afghanistan.
According to the leader of the guerrillas, the cities can be occupied by the coalition forces, but the mountains belong to the guerrillas, and the countryside belongs to the guerrillas!
Constantly destroying traffic roads and laying mines on roads prevent the coalition forces from conducting mechanized operations well.
Mechanized operations are not effective in mountainous areas like Afghanistan where roads are inconvenient.
Previously, the coalition forces deployed special forces to carry out special operations in Afghanistan, which caused great losses to the guerrillas at the beginning, but the guerrillas gradually adapted and gained experience in how to fight with the coalition special forces, and the casualties of the coalition special forces rose rapidly.
The current battlefield in Afghanistan is the place where the coalition special forces are most reluctant to fight because it is too dangerous!
In terms of familiarity with the terrain and environment, how can the special forces compare with native Afghans.
The coalition forces now control 50% of Afghanistan's territory, but the troops are also dispersed, and the war has not been eliminated.
And this 50% of the territory actually refers to the cities in this 50% of the territory!
As for the vast rural areas, they are still places where guerrillas are active.
And even in cities, it is not safe when the coalition patrols.
Because there might be an Afghan who would detonate a grenade or explosive pack and die together with the patrolling soldiers.
As for the government forces that the United States has placed its hopes on in the interim government, even if the United States has armed them, the government forces still have no combat effectiveness.
Combat effectiveness does not mean that you have guns and bulletproof vests. Even if you train normally, you may not be able to form combat effectiveness.
Because the army is made up of people, no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, the key is still the people who use them.
It’s okay for government soldiers to just slack off, slack off, and get paid, but as for fighting desperately, it is estimated that there are very few such soldiers.
The guerrillas are different. The guerrillas have their own ideals and their own pursuits. They hate Americans very much. Young people join the guerrillas just to fight Americans and drive them out of Afghanistan.
Especially the guerrillas from Iraq, they have an incomparable hatred for Americans, and they fight very fiercely and fearlessly.
Although far away from their homeland, the guerrillas from Iraq can still learn about the Iraq War through radio and television, watching some international channels, and watching the Americans bombing Iraqi hospitals, nursing homes, kindergartens, and orphanages. No Iraqi soldier will not be angry.
They came to the battlefield in Afghanistan to delay the US troops in the Afghan battlefield so that they cannot be transferred to Iraq to attack Iraq.
Whenever they heard Saddam say that Iraqis would never compromise, never become slaves of a conquered country, and that Iraqis would snipe at the colonization of the United States and live and die with Iraq, these Iraqi soldiers were full of excitement, as if they were inspired.
They are fighting a war to defend their country, an Islamic jihad!
A natural cave.
This is a guerrilla nest, with four or five hundred guerrillas.
There are radars, antennas, and the like here, and they are heavily guarded.
In the cave, there are tunnels dug one after another, and the tunnels are very complex.
Even if they are approached by the special forces of the coalition, they can fight against them with the help of fortifications and complex tunnels.
Even if they throw poison gas bombs into the tunnels, it will be useless.
In the cave, a middle-aged man with a big beard is surfing the Internet with a notebook.
This is connected via an Internet satellite. The speed is not fast, but it is no problem to chat and contact.
Next to his hand, there is also a satellite phone.
Even in this area, they can contact the outside world through satellite phones.
The guerrillas are divided into small groups, but they can contact each other. Through computers, radios or satellite phones, they can contact each other and conduct joint operations.
Guerrilla warfare is not the guerrilla warfare of more than half a century ago, but the guerrilla warfare of the 21st century that integrates modern technology.
'Omar' is the captain of this guerrilla. He has a high level and can command a total of five guerrillas in the surrounding area, and can command more than 2,000 combat troops.
Long before the outbreak of the Afghan war, 'Omar' was a battalion commander in the Afghan army.
In the more than two years of the Afghan war, his guerrillas have grown to more than 2,000 people.
But he is the only battalion commander of their regiment who is still alive.
Guerrilla warfare is not that easy to fight.
After all, the coalition forces have advantages in weapons and equipment, firepower, and can call for air support at any time.
One of his comrades died in the coalition's suppression, and two died in the coalition's special forces.
Omar looked at the computer. Now the total number of guerrillas in Afghanistan has exceeded 200,000, spread all over Afghanistan.
"Damn Americans, they will be driven out of Afghanistan one day!" Omar couldn't help cursing. Omar hated the United States very much. He personally participated in Afghanistan's expulsion of the Soviets, defeated the puppet government supported by the Soviets, and established a government belonging to the Afghan people.
But the Afghan people had not lived in peace for many years. The Americans came and brought war to the Afghans.
The Americans and their lackeys did all kinds of evil in Afghanistan, burning, killing, raping and looting.
What Afghanistan hated most was that the Japanese had implemented the Three Alls Policy here, killing all, robbing all, and burning all!
If the Japanese were captured by the guerrillas, they would be beaten up first. If the Japanese or their relatives paid the ransom, it would be fine. If not, the captives would be castrated, and the castration process would be recorded as a video and posted on the Internet. Then the video and the cuts would be packaged and sent to the soldiers' parents or wives.
It was precisely because the guerrillas fought evil with evil that the Japanese dared not continue to implement the Three Alls Policy on Afghan soil.
Omar's eyes were full of determination. He believed that this war would be a protracted war, and the final victory would belong to the Afghan people! (End of this chapter)
