Chapter 275: The storm is surging, the first battle is won, Ma Wei's tactics are perfect
Since the Russian president announced that he would impose sanctions on al-Qaeda, advanced countries such as the United States, France, Britain, and Germany have been paying great attention to the situation between Russia and Afghanistan.
Many so-called military experts also made vocal comments and comments on TV and the Internet, guessing what kind of dilemma would it encounter and how much resistance would it be if the Russian army wanted to attack Afghanistan.
"I personally think that the war against terror that Russia promotes may not be as smooth as they expected. Afghanistan has more than two-thirds of the mountainous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Russia's t-72 and t-90 main battle tanks cannot be driven up at all. Only goats can get on that steep terrain."
An Italian military expert commented on an interview program. Little did they know that their Italian army had the strength of the five slags in the war. Even if they conquer Africa, it would be very difficult. In the early World War II, Germany sent an armored division to support it, so that Italy could use its steel tanks to crush the African indigenous people and the British troops stationed there.
(At that time, Britain was being attacked by Germany. Italy wanted to go to North Africa and Egypt to steal chickens and destroy the British army stationed there. But it was still fucked by others)
The blessing of asking Russia to launch a war on terrorism was not only Italian military scientists, but also showed it on TV. Even Brazilian experts and scholars couldn't help but comment on this, "Russia's dispatch of troops to attack Afghanistan is an obvious mistake in military science. That is to fight on multiple fronts!"
"The militants of the Chechen Republic in Russia have not been completely eliminated yet. Guerrilla wars of all sizes are staged every day. However, Russia does not solve this problem properly, and even sends troops to Afghanistan to attack Al-Qaeda and fight against the Taliban armed forces. This is equivalent to opening up three fronts at the same time!"
"In history, there is no country that can use all three things to deal with the enemies of three sides at the same time. If so, it wouldn't be Russia. At least Americans dare not do this." Brazilian experts and scholars, in order to win ratings and attract everyone's attention, dare to say anything on TV.
However, his remarks successfully fooled some aunts and aunts in front of the TV who didn't understand current affairs. Many people really believed it.
Faced with these public opinions around the world, the Russian military must withstand the pressure and exert momentum in the first battle against terrorism in Afghanistan! Show your courage!
On August 29, 2001, at 1 a.m. Mazar Sharif, Afghanistan, used 17 Russian Su-34 fighter bombers, used 60 missiles and 25 bombs to launch a carpet bombing on the Taliban troops' positions. The Russian army started the first battle in Afghanistan!
Mazarisha Sharif is the largest city and transportation hub in northern Afghanistan. He is the area that is heavily guarded by the Taliban. If the Russian army can successfully capture it, it will have very far-reaching significance for the entire battle situation.
The air strike was completed quite smoothly. With the assistance of the Northern Alliance, the bombing location was very accurate. Almost overnight, half of the Taliban troops were eliminated, in Mazarri Sharif's troops!
Even the second leader of the Taliban, Shakhariev, was killed by a bomb in this air strike. This made the Taliban armed forces in chaos. Many people have seen the terrible terror of a military power for the first time in their lives.
The Taliban troops of Mazarri Sharif were not given too much time to survive. At 2 pm that day, the Northern Alliance troops lurking around the city took advantage of the chaos and captured the southern and western parts of the city. They also controlled the city's main military bases and airports.
The battle ended after 4 hours. By sunset, the remnants of the Taliban retreated to the south and east. It represented the Taliban's power in northern Afghanistan and gradually began to collapse...
...
The first battle was won, and the good news was immediately transmitted from the front line to Russia.
Mawei, who was resting in a hotel near the command center, received a call from the headquarters, "Hey, Mr. Mawei? Let me tell you good news! Our army has successfully captured Shakhariev! It is expected that it will quickly capture five provinces in the northern region and eliminate the Taliban's power in the northern region in the next step!"
Mawei was naturally excited about such good news and sat up from the sofa, "How is the number of casualties? Is it counted?" He asked on the phone with concern. In Afghanistan in this life, Mawei didn't know how powerful he was in combat.
"The number of casualties is like this. Mr. Mavie, the number of Taliban armed forces is about 2,600. The number of casualties in our army is less than 10." The Russian sergeant on the other end of the phone said with good news. In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, the number of casualties in the Northern Alliance army was slightly heavier... because they rushed to the front.
"Are you less than 10 people? OK, I understand." Mawei replied thoughtfully. The number of less than 10 people is very perfect for the Russian army.
Because Afghanistan was not invaded by the Soviet Union in this life, it lacked 10 years of experience in war of attrition and no weapons assistance from the Americans.
So this Taliban armed forces are not very good overall. It is okay to bully weak opponents, but when they encounter tough guys like the Russian army, the original one won't work!
For example, the Taliban's m4 tanks were eliminated by the Americans during World War II. When they encountered the Russian T-90 main battle tank, they were bombed by ballistic missiles falling from the sky and the tanks and men before they even showed up.
Including the Taliban troops guarding the tanks, they were all bombed and flew out of recognition and were killed on the spot... How tragic and tragic were the deaths...
For example, the Taliban-armed AK-47 submachine guns, grenades, RPG rocket launchers, and mortars. These weapons are usually used smoothly. But after experiencing the early morning, after Russia's terrifying air strikes, the weapons that were originally used smoothly were all because of their nervousness and could not achieve their level at all during training.
They were directly chased and beaten by the Russian army... Many of the Taliban armed forces who died of death were shot in the back and bleeded too much. It can be seen that once they faced a real war, the instinct of human beings to escape was immediately aroused.
