"Boss, the Charikar line guarded by the Taliban army has just been broken by the US military, and these American GIs are really extravagant, according to the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft observation group, this attack used more than 70 Apache helicopter gunships, more than 70 Paladin self-propelled howitzers, 9 MLRS, more than 100 mortars and more than 30 towed howitzers, and eight B-1B strategic bombers."

"The participating troops have an air assault infantry brigade and two mechanized infantry brigades, and after six hours of continuous attack, more than 3,000 soldiers from the Taliban sacrificed their lives for the country, the scene is extremely tragic, and the observation team has transmitted the images to you." Marcus remembered what was going on and said hurriedly.

The last hill of the defensive line is almost non-existent from the monitors, and the shelling and ground-penetrating bombs of the American army have flattened the entire hill, and many of the Taliban fighters hiding in the caves and fortifications have been buried alive in the rocks and mud.

After the tragic lesson of the Battle of Charikaar, the high-level Taliban government leaders who were heartbroken thoroughly understood the fact that flesh and blood and courage really can't confront the opponent's weapons and equipment, and they must not fight positional warfare with the US army in the future, which is tantamount to digging a hole for themselves, or honestly obey the command of the mercenary corps and fight urban offensive and defensive warfare and guerrilla warfare!

The 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 101st Air Assault Division of the U.S. Army, after cleaning up the battlefield, began to attack Kabul in Afghanistan, stopping about four kilometers from the city.

"According to the intelligence of the Northern Alliance and the all-weather monitoring of drones, the Taliban government has built a large number of fortifications in Kabul, and intends to fight an urban offensive and defensive war with us, which has about 20,000 to 30,000 troops, distributed in all corners of the city, the situation is very complicated, there are a large number of civilians in the city, so that we cannot use cluster fire to attack the enemy, think about those advanced anti-tank missiles and portable anti-aircraft missiles, I feel cold in my heart, this may be a meat grinder for the Afghan war." said the division commander of the air assault division.

"The coalition command has made a clear request, which is also what the Ministry of Defense means, we must take Kabul, domestic and NATO reinforcements will gather here within a week, the number will increase to 60,000, plus more than 10,000 troops of the Northern Alliance, we have an absolute advantage."

"As you must know, Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan, and the capture of this city represents the fall of the Taliban government, which is of great political significance and a strong encouragement to the people in the country.

"Secondly, without taking Kabul, we will not be able to fight Jalalabad, which is a key transportation point between Afghanistan and Badgystan, and it is also the main route of our logistics and transportation. The command also considered that when we had a numerical advantage, we could open up this transportation point in advance. ”

"Moreover, whether it is the U.S. Department of Defense, or the defense departments of NATO countries, including the coalition command, no one believes that the Taliban army is proficient in the tactics of urban offensive and defensive warfare, which is a science, and they have never fought similar battles before, and it is estimated that they are using guerrilla tactics." said the commander of the 1st Mechanized Division.

"But I always feel that it is not good, in this kind of environment, the absolute superiority of the US military cannot be displayed, the cleaning of one area after another, the battle for one street and one yard, and the enemy hiding in places where we cannot see and putting cold guns, it is estimated that the losses this time are more than the previous period combined." said the division commander of the air assault division.

"The Ministry of Defense also has the same concerns, so it has gathered experts in urban warfare to study two plans, one is to let the army of the Northern Alliance take the lead, during this time they have taken our money and weapons and equipment, and expanded the army of more than 30,000 people, which is just used to fight this battle, and we will continue to support them, after the capture of Kabul, it will be the capital of the Northern Alliance to establish a new regime, and they will definitely do their best to cooperate with us for this purpose."

"Secondly, in order to prevent heavy losses, for those places that are difficult to attack or cannot be attacked for a long time, the Ministry of Defense recommends directly destroying them with tank guns and anti-tank missiles, and the airfield of the northern base will be put into use immediately, and the air force can provide precision strikes at that time, and the other is to force the enemy to a certain area, and then implement fire coverage, regardless of the problem of civilian casualties, the lives of the armies of various countries are more important, who will let them not leave the old city to the new city to avoid the war?" said the commander of the 1st Mechanized Division.

Urban warfare is a way that the armies of all countries are unwilling to fight, and the US military is naturally no exception, urban warfare is not conducive to attack, there are too many buildings, the environment is too complicated, the defenders hide in the dark, the attackers are exposed to the light, and the probability of being shot coldly is very large.

In other words, because there are too many obstacles, the communication command has been greatly disturbed, and it is only suitable for group combat, and the attacks of large forces cannot be unified and coordinated, nor can they bring into play their combat effectiveness.

Urban warfare is not good for near and far away, positional warfare and field warfare, wide field of vision, huge combat area, whether it is reconnaissance or attack, sophisticated weapons and equipment do not have any advantages, the enemy hides in buildings and tunnels, you can't find it, how to fight this battle?

Due to the division of the city's streets and buildings, mechanized troops cannot be used, and armored vehicles on the streets will be attacked by anti-tank missiles, and there will be blind spots everywhere, and firepower will not be used.

Since urban warfare is so cruel and belongs to the type of hand-to-hand combat, does the US military dare not fight? Wrong, there is a way to crack any tactic, and the commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division just now said two of them.

The U.S. military has abundant financial resources as a backing, and for those firepower points and hidden places that are difficult to attack, it can directly launch anti-tank missiles to destroy them, or send out the most accurate guided weapons, and this loss is a piece of cake for the U.S. government, as long as the GIs do not die, it is nothing to spend some money, and the dollar is a decisive magic weapon, which is enough to support such a way of fighting.

The U.S. military plans to divide the entire Kabul urban area, breaking through each bit bit by bit, like a chessboard, compressing step by step, and when the Taliban army retreats to a certain area, it will adopt the method of cluster bombing.

The two division commanders knew very well in their hearts that in this urban offensive and defensive battle, the victory of the American army was a matter of time, and it would not be too long, and the most critical thing at the moment was that they were worried that their troops would suffer serious casualties.

"I agree with the Ministry of Defense's operational plan, transfer the troops of the Northern Alliance to play the front first, we can't shed blood and sweat in the front, they follow us to pick up ready-made, how can there be so many good things in the world, the coalition command approved us to rest for three days, and then we will go to the officers' club in the new city of Kabul to have a drink and relax, this time is really exhausting." said the division commander of the air assault division.
