Chapter 171: Infighting

(1st Update)

Chechnya's current situation is becoming more and more difficult, they have lost almost all foreign support, Saudi Arabia's biggest financier has been assassinated, the Western intelligence service has stopped supplying weapons to Chechnya, the Soviet army's daily cycle of bombing and air strikes has also caused Chechen militants to lose their most valuable soldiers, in addition to the war attrition, there is an even more terrible problem, they have no source of recruits.

Because of Kadyrov's assassination, the Wahhabi faction and the Sufi faction are now in full swing, almost on the third day of Kadyrov's assassination, the Mosque explosion occurred in the city where the Wahhabi faction gathered, and in an undeclared factional war, Kadyrov Jr. announced that he would unite all the adult men of the Sufi faction to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Hawabi.

Kadyrov is also the spiritual idol of the Chechen people, and when they learned that their spiritual idol had been overthrown, the angry people, especially the men of the Autonomous Republic of Ingushetia, responded to Kadyrov Jr.'s call to pick up guns and completely expel the extremists from Chechen land. Moreover, the Soviet Union is also fanning the flames, and the head bounty of Basayev, Khattab and Umarov has been raised to the point of 150,000 US dollars, and it continues to rise.

As a result, a farce of national independence turned into a religious war between the two factions, and Yanayev stabilized the situation in Chechnya on the tip of the knife by sowing discord by supporting one faction and suppressing the other. Next, as long as the extremist groups are completely eliminated, the remaining Sufi factions can solve the problem at the negotiating table.

Even the most staunch anti-Soviet extremists trembled under the Iron Curtain of Communism, and Basayev could not count how many air raids he had encountered in the past few days, after a contingent of more than 1,000 people had been reduced to pieces and hidden in the mountains. And after a week of indiscriminate bombardment, only the last 150 or so remained.

What's more, the number of people is declining every day. After the Soviets blocked all border exits and transport hubs. The isolated border forests of Chechnya resemble a hunting ground, where fighter jets patrol the skies every day, and safaris lurk for extremists. So much so that as soon as they saw the SU25 fighter flying in the sky, they immediately hugged their heads and ran away.

Not only are the subordinate armed fighters demoralized, but every day they shoot several traitors who try to escape from the army. Even the upper echelons are already panicking, with Umarov, Khattab and Basayev thinking about their futures.

"We really shouldn't provoke the Soviets and go too far." Umarov's tone revealed hesitation and regret. His gaze swept over Basayev and Khattab in front of him, but there was only an unabated look of fanaticism in the other party's eyes.

"The holy war must continue, and no one can withdraw." Seeing that Umarov had a retreating mentality, Basayev threatened the other party, "Even if it is the last man, continue to fight!" Whoever withdraws is a betrayal of Allah! ”

"Not even your life is gone, how are you going to deal with the Soviet army?" Umarov kicked the stone at his feet, his tone clearly questioning and disgruntled, he stood up and walked over to the trunk and picked up his rifle leaning against the root. Then he turned to the two behind him and said, "I'm going to get out of here with my part." I don't care what you want or do. ”

"Are you not going to believe in the great Allah Allah?" Khattab asked with a pretended composure as his left hand slowly reached for the holster at his waist.

"I just don't want to be with you." Umarov, who should have parted ways with Basayev in history, never imagined that one of Khattab's ideas would change history.

At the moment when Umarov turned around, Khattab quickly took out a pistol from his waist and shot all the bullets at Umarov's back, and the sudden sound of gunfire startled the birds perched in the trees, as well as everyone whose movements froze instantly.

The members of Umarov's faction watched as their leader was assassinated by another leader.

"What are you doing! Khattab. Basayev also did not believe that Khattab would shoot and kill an armed movement leader in full view.

"I'm punishing a traitor!" Khattab said unusually calmly that he had long wanted to annex Umarov's troops, but he had been suffering from no chance.

Before Umarov's cronies could pick up their Kalashnikov rifles, Khattab switched to another magazine and shot the remaining people who wanted to resist on the spot. After a dense and piercing burst of gunfire, only the bewildered soldiers of the Umarov faction remained.

At this time, Umarov's men were already surrounded by Basayev's troops, and Khattab stood in front of them, his eyes majestically suppressing everyone's arrogance, "Give you both a choice, either lay down your arms and surrender, or go to Allah with your traitor leader." ”

Umarov's soldiers looked at each other, not knowing whether to drop their guns and surrender or pull the trigger on Khattab. The impatient Khattab raised his hand and neatly eliminated a soldier of the Umarov faction beside him, and simply and neatly hit people's hearts.

"My patience is limited, and I will ask you again, do you choose to surrender or choose death?"

At the same time, the rifles surrounding them unliminarily pulled their bolts, and the sound of neat metal striking darkened the eyes of all the Umarov faction soldiers present. They eventually chose to abandon their guns and surrender to the forces led by Basayev and Khattab.

Khattab smiled coldly, and he ordered the soldiers around him to dig a pit and bury the dead Umarov and his cronies, just as they had done with Maskhadov, but they were much luckier than Maskhadov, because he was buried alive in an unknown corner of the mountain.

"What the hell are you going to do, Khattab?" Although Basayev was angry, he still asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing to deal with traitors." Khattab also lowered his voice, "The Republic of Ingushetia can no longer stay, we need to concentrate our numbers now, hit the firepower to storm the border crossing, tear a gap and flee to Georgia, Georgia, and then go from Georgia to Turkey to join the local armed forces." So Umarov, who is dragging his feet, must die! ”

"And then?" Basayev asked, a little confused.

"And then I found a new owner!" Khattab's eyes were blazing and he replied, "Even if the Turkish government is bent on recovering Islam, we can regroup in Turkey and continue the Chechen jihad!" (To be continued.) )
