Chapter 646: Operation Lane

The first update

With the gradual fall of Tbilisi, Troshev also began to have headaches. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because he found that the resistance of the Georgian army was not weakening, but was getting tougher. Guerrilla warfare was waged against Soviet assault squads in the corners of the streets, often not holding on to one point of fire, but using anti-tank rockets to fire at tanks in the streets from all angles. After the Georgian army was reduced to zero, it was slowly leveling out its shortcomings. Of course, it still can't stop the tragic casualties caused by the difference in strength.

It was clear that there were still six kilometers to capture the presidential palace, but the Georgian army managed to stop the Soviet army's offensive for more than an hour. Due to the presence of innocent civilians in the war zone, Troshev did not dare to use rockets and artillery fire to cover and bomb all buildings. The army could only be ordered to advance cautiously, not in a hurry, but in order to reduce losses.

At this time, Kolabelnikov's chief of staff duly told Troshev about Kiyanaev's plan, "Why don't we pretend to give Gorbachev a way to live, and then ambush him halfway?" With the loss of the High Command, these remnants of the Soviet resistance will also disperse. In this way, we will be able to take the presidential palace without much effort. ”

"But isn't that a little too risky?" Troshev frowned and said that he was a steady conservative, and he would rather have a few casualties than let the important goal of Gorbachev slip out of his hands, otherwise the position of commander-in-chief of the 58th Army should be changed.

"When Comrade Troshev said this, is he not at ease with our electronic information technology?" "Every area here is under the watchful eye of GLONASS and Lotus, and our A50 AWACS aircraft patrol 24 hours a day, and the Il-21R electronic jammer is responsible for jamming all the systems in this area." Under such circumstances, I really don't know where the so-called 'adventure' in the mouth of Comrade Troshev comes from? ”

Kolabelnikov lowered his voice and whispered, "And you still don't understand what the Central Committee means?" Yanayev wants to see the United States and Turkey look frustrated and helpless under our electronic jamming system, and severely thwart the sense of accomplishment of the United States. ”

Kolabelnikov had a clear understanding of what Yanayev meant, and he really wanted to see Turkey trembling in the new mode of operation of the Soviet army. The 1991 Gulf War had already galvanized the world, and the Georgian civil war was set off as a wave of military reform around the world.

"But......" Troshev was about to say something, and Korabelnikov interrupted him.

"Nothing but, believe me, this is the last wonderful drama of the war in Georgia, and Moscow and the whole world do not want to miss this ambush. We first let the various units create the illusion of a coordinated disconnection, and then Comrade Shamanov secretly intervenes to make contact with the rebel informants, pretending that the rebels can buy a way out of life at a high price, so that the remnants of the rebels and Gorbachev can escape through this gap between the units and flee to Turkey. I think that when it comes to survival, Gorbachev will definitely spare no effort to contribute his last family wealth. ”

Troshev finally made up his mind and said with certainty, "Okay, then Comrade Shamanov will come forward and contact the rebels." ”

An operation codenamed Ryan was secretly carried out inside the supreme command room, and only a small number of high-level officials knew about this operation, Troshev ordered the Il-214R electronic warfare aircraft to stop interfering with the communication system of the Georgian rebels, and at the same time ordered the assault teams to slow down the offensive, and the Su-34 bombers were also withdrawn from the battlefield, and the original white-hot war slowly cooled down.

Then it was Shamanov who began to act as a messenger of peace, making contacts with the Georgian commanders. Of course, the contacts were secret, and Shamanov relayed to the Georgian commanders the secret instructions of the Supreme Command of the 58 Army, and as long as Gorbachev was willing to pay a certain amount of "ransom", they were willing to open a way for Gorbachev to live.

Of course, this ransom is a lot of money, and Gorbachev's money for buying his life is naturally not cheap.

In the command and war room of the Georgian rebels, Minashvili noticed that the Georgian rebels' communication system had suddenly been restored, and he immediately received a very important intelligence message. Shamanov, deputy commander-in-chief of the 58th Army, secretly left Tbilisi after allowing Gorbachev to pay the ransom.

At first, Minashvili was still puzzled by this news, thinking that it was a conspiracy set up by the Soviet army to lure out Gorbachev. But when he confirmed that it was Deputy Commander-in-Chief Shamanov, Minashvili's doubts began to be dispelled. He pondered whether to tell Gorbachev the news. For Gorbachev, this was a complete surprise. But without fully confirming whether it was a trap, Minashvili did not dare to make a conclusion.

He decided to ask Plekhanov, the former head of the KGB, who had been in Moscow for many years.

When Plekhanov heard the news, he also showed a look of surprise at first. But then he understood again, and said with relief, "Yes, the salaries of Soviet officers are indeed very low, especially after the Soviet Union's disarmament, when they found that the army in Africa could actually make huge profits by controlling mines and resources, all the top military leaders in the country were shocked. Just as the C.I.A. used some of the ill-gotten income in Southeast Asia and Colombia to increase its own funding, the KGB did not do much of this in these areas, and if it weren't for Yanayev's explicit ban on the military from being associated with business and raising the salaries of non-commissioned officers, they would have gone to Africa to become outlaws. ”

"So Troshev, they need money?" It was as if Minashvili saw a glimmer of hope.

"It's not that they need money, it's that they need a lot of money. Such an income placed in the country will definitely arouse suspicion in Moscow, the only possibility is that they need funds to carry out certain operations abroad. And I remember that before Troshev was transferred, a group of his dismissed officers went to Mozambique, so they didn't necessarily want to take shares. ”

Plekhanov's affirmative answer increased Minashvili's confidence, but in order to prevent the Soviet troops from laying a trap, he hoped to be able to speak directly with Shamanov. (To be continued.) )
