(5th Update)

The Tu-95 strategic bomber, like NATO's code name Giant Bear, has a huge body covering the sky above the mountains bordering Dagestan, like a huge Haast eagle, looking at the ants under its wings in a condescending manner, and their life and death are only between the pilot's fingers and thoughts.

Hearing the roar of the planes overhead, the Chechen armed forces on the march stopped their advance and hid under the trunks of trees, although Basayev knew that the bombers could not detect their ranks, but he cautiously hid in the grass and waited for the two bombers to fly over.

"It's strange, Commander-in-Chief Basayev, why are these two strategic bombers headed for Dagestan, it's a bit strange, shouldn't they go to Chechnya for bombing?"

Basayev also felt a little strange when he heard the doubts of his subordinates. But he vetoed the idea that the troops might be discovered, after all, the rapid march was completely secret, and they had kept the radio silent, and even the top brass in Grozny could not figure out their exact location.

"Report to Command, we've arrived at our intended location." The driver of the Tu-95 bomber was in the sky above the Chechen armed forces, and although he could not know what was going on below, he could still determine the general location of the bomb by means of laser guidance by intelligence officers over an area of more than a kilometer.

"Allow bombs to be dropped, destroy them." Putin's answer is very simple, just like his thunderous style, he will not be merciful to terrorists, and he will eliminate them wherever they are found, and there will be absolutely no aftermath.

"Understood. Prepare to drop bombs. "Tu-95 strategic bombers are already over the march route of the armed rebels in Chechnya. Just press the button. They will turn into charcoal in an instant. Of course, the pilot did not have to think about the question of massacre and morality, because he was only faithfully carrying out the task above and destroying the enemy of the Soviets.

The bomb bay was opened, and dozens of conventional bombs loaded in the bomb bay rained down like a barrage of iron on the mountains where the Chechen militants were entrenched, and without the slightest mercy or hesitation, a wonderful massacre began. When Basayev, who was marching on the mountainside, saw this scene, he hurriedly pushed away the soldiers around him and shouted. "All of them take cover!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the first bomb had already fallen to the ground, and a brilliant fireball rolled up, as dazzling as the rising sun in the east, and the heat and scorching air wave from the explosion of the bomb instantly broke the nearby trees, and the militants who did not have time to flee turned into a black char under the heat and flames. Basayev was directly kicked off by the air wave and flew out.

Huge fireballs rose one after another in the mountains, spreading all the way along the march route of the Chechen armed forces, and each bomb explosion brought a sea of fire that seemed to expand in all directions, and some militants who did not die in the explosion were swallowed alive by the flames, and the heart-rending shouts before death filled the entire mountainside.

"Oh my God. It's horrible. "Even the reconnaissance team, which was a kilometer away, could feel the strong shaking of the earth, and they turned their faces away. I can't bear to see this scene like a sea of hellfire, those people are like souls suffering in hell, this scene is too shocking, and at the same time it is too miserable to see.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust." The members of the reconnaissance team held their crosses and prayed silently.

A fiery red slab spread from mountain to mountain, like the river basins of the river, and the sea of fire continued to spread, and few terrorists could escape in such an environment, and the bombs dropped even wiped out the entire mountain range. Huge conical funnel pits appeared on the ground, surrounded by charred bodies, or only partial ones.

Presumably, the inhabitants of the Dagestan border will be woken up by this terrible bombardment on this night, and if they look out of their windows, they will also see the light of the fire that illuminates the entire dark night sky.

The crew of the Tu-95 strategic bomber looked back at the sea of fire that illuminated the dark continent and joked to the co-pilot, "If we blow up that Basayev guy, can we get a $1 million bounty?" ”

"Don't think about it so much, give you a hundred thousand at most, how do you know if he was killed by a bomb dropped by you or by a bomb from another plane? When the time comes, the uneven distribution will start and who will I go to? The co-pilot teased, joking while he did not forget to report the results to the command.

"Command, the bombing mission has been completed, we have eliminated the vast majority of the militants."

"Very well, boys, you are doing a very good job." Putin replied short and forcefully.

The burning fire continued all night before slowly extinguishing it, and when the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops arrived at the scene two days later, they saw scorched and scorched earth, carbonized tree trunks, and vague wreckage. Even in the cold winter, you can feel the scorching heat that has raged in this area before.

The jagged cliffs were flattened by artillery fire, and humans invented weapons that were enough to alter the original appearance of nature.

"No one will survive." One of the soldiers who accompanied Putin sighed, "Such a terrible covering attack is not to mention people, even insects and ants are not immune." ”

"Well, but there are still some things to do." Of course, Putin had to faithfully complete the hand end of the bombing mission, and ask the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect the remains of the armed personnel who could be found, and then bring them back to confirm their identities and see if Basayev's body could be found through tooth mold comparison.

Of course, the news of Basayev's killing will be hidden for the time being, but the big news that a team of 2,800 people has been wiped out by bombs will certainly make headlines in Moscow. This is undoubtedly an aggravation of morale for the Chechen illegal armed forces, which are in a stalemate in the war.

"Presumably, it won't be long before the leaders of Chechnya will also start infighting." Yanayev was very relieved to see Putin's message, and he decided to slow down the approaching offensive. After calculating for so long, Kadyrov should almost jump back, the improvised government is united by external pressure, and once the internal contradictions are exposed, there is a chance to break them one by one.

Anyway, Kadyrov, Dudayev, and Maskhadov have always had political disagreements, and as long as the internal group of Chechnya is divided, Yanayev can bloodlessly cultivate a pro-Soviet agent in Chechnya. When the time comes, we will unite with the proxy regime to wipe out the group of people who are making trouble and are independent.

Plans and plans, step by step, completely dismantle the separatist forces! (To be continued.) )
