Chapter 1057 How can I walk by the river without getting my shoes wet
"Now the situation on the battlefield in Afghanistan is extremely bad, which is very unfavorable to our American side, and the Australian army is obviously not suitable to continue to stay, and the losses have reached four-fifths overnight, so that the government and the military cannot withstand the pressure from public opinion. Besides, an army like this will only be a burden, and it is better not to come if it comes, and it will not help us at all. ”
"In the same way, the Government of Canada also informed the Presidency last night that, after a vote in Parliament, the Government decided to withdraw the remnants of the army, which became a farce! The two modern armies of the two countries, less than a week after coming to Afghanistan, were beaten and left, and even the United States and NATO became a joke! The four-star general said through gritted teeth.
In fact, in the war in Afghanistan, except for the armies of several European countries in NATO, such as France, Germany, Britain and Italy, which can be in charge of the army, the rest of the countries are only symbolic more than practical, which is also a manifestation of the hegemony of the United States, a superpower.
The U.S. government did not expect the armies of Australia, Canada, South Korea, and Japan to play much of a role in the war, but only to maintain law and order in the occupied territories and fight the rampant Taliban guerrillas, but the current situation proved that they could not even afford this task.
At this time, Eric commanded six infantry brigades and quietly approached the American camps on the outskirts of Kabul and Jalalabad, this time not as a feint, but as a sabotage of the base under construction and the storage of ammunition and supplies, especially transport vehicles and heavy equipment, especially helicopters.
The war potential of the United States is indeed very terrifying, and the loss of materials and equipment has already exceeded 100 billion US dollars, but it is still being sent in a steady stream, and if it were another country, it will definitely declare defeat when it encounters such a situation, but the US government is still very calm, and the loss of one truck will send ten planes, and the loss of one helicopter will send ten planes, and the military industrial enterprises are now working overtime day and night.
"The main objective of our offensive this time is Jalalabad, with the strength of four brigades, with the two infantry brigades of the Taliban, to attack simultaneously from four directions, focusing on camps and cargo yards, to destroy the material transfer station of the US army in one fell swoop, according to intelligence, there are hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition materials that have just arrived, as well as new equipment capable of equipping a mechanized infantry brigade."
"For the Kabul side, the focus of the attack was on the temporary airport, where there was also a large amount of military supplies, some of which was used to support the Northern Alliance in forming an army. This time, it was to be done in a way that would draw the enemy's main forces in one direction and then carry out a sneak attack by our large force. Eric said.
After many sneak attacks, the US military has also made corresponding adjustments, and the cordon has been adjusted from a few kilometers to more than a dozen kilometers, and there are guard posts and observation posts everywhere, and the shortest distance is only 200 meters.
The US troops, who are like frightened birds, now have little chance of sneak attack, a sentry post is a squad, equipped with squad machine guns, the vigilance is quite high, and the firepower is strong, it is difficult to approach the target as before.
"Jalalabad is being attacked again by the Taliban army? Or is it the workhorse? Sling the bull! Now there is a fierce battle going on near the temporary airport in Kabul, and I can feel the intensity and density of the opponent's firepower in the new city, and I can also see the traces of rockets in the sky. The four-star general was furious, thinking that the American troops in Jalalabad were frightened.
The residents of the new city of Kabul were awakened by the sound of explosions from the suburbs, fortunately this is the territory of the mercenary army, this kind of thing is also normalized, the whole family is relieved and boldly walked outside the door, looking at the fire of the explosion in the distance and the tongue of fire dragged by rockets in the night sky, many people began to pray, Allah, save this troubled country!
Theoretically, one mechanized infantry brigade stationed in Jalalabad, including a mountain brigade, could withstand three to five times the enemy, and if it was a real Taliban army, four divisions would not want to attack Jalalabad.
Because the US military is very modernized, its firepower is much stronger than that of other countries' armies, and its mobility is exceptionally powerful.
It's a pity that tonight, no, it should be early in the morning, the US military encountered mercenaries who did not play cards according to common sense, and in view of the characteristics of the US army, the Special Operations Command also formulated corresponding countermeasures, that is, more attacks and a little outbreak.
"Our temporary assault battalion is the main force of this offensive, and the brothers of the four infantry brigades have attracted the attention of the US military for us, and everyone has prepared anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers in their hands, fired at the US military camp and material storage site at close range, and evacuated immediately after completing the task." said the assault battalion commander.
A battalion of more than 800 people, equipped with more than 400 rocket launchers and anti-tank missile launchers, and the other half of the people carried ammunition for the second attack, and the US military barracks and material storage sites were all covered by the Esker explosion-proof wall, which absolutely could not block the attack in this situation, and this time it also carried incendiary grenades developed and manufactured by the research institute of the Special Forces Command.
The entire U.S. military camp on the outskirts of Jalalabad has become a big battlefield, there is an exchange of fire everywhere, no one knows the purpose of the Taliban army, and the current posture seems to want to replicate the results of the previous few days and destroy the U.S. troops in Jalalabad in one fell swoop, but is this possible?
"The Taliban army will definitely not attack indiscriminately without purpose, but up to now, we have not been able to judge their specific action goals, according to the summary of the battle situation, the camp is fighting in all directions, the enemy did not lure us into pursuit, and then set up an ambush halfway, but fought very tenaciously, and did not flinch in the face of armored troops and helicopter gunships, I have a very bad premonition, this time may suffer a big loss!" said the brigade commander of the mechanized infantry brigade.
"There is also a possibility that the Taliban army is attacking us in all directions, covering the large forces to carry out a strong attack on Kabul, and the coalition command reports that the air base and temporary airport in the northern suburbs of the city are suffering from a large-scale attack by the Taliban army, and they are also using improvised rockets, and these Taliban troops will really learn! The biggest headache is that the CIA's rice buckets have not yet figured out how many Taliban troops there are, which directly affects our prediction. Said the brigade commander of the mountain brigade.
"That's not a big problem, Kabul is the base camp of the coalition forces, but also the political center of Afghanistan, in order to prevent the opponent from sneaking up again, the General Staff took off a squadron of air gunboats and four squadrons of A-10 attack planes from the air base in Oman, and it is estimated that they have already arrived in Afghanistan and can provide support at any time." The brigade commander of the infantry brigade said with a smile.
