Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A huge explosion rose from the barracks on the west side of the palace, and a black mushroom cloud rolled up with waves of blood.  Bricks, sand, broken limbs and blood continued to roll down from the black clouds, and the blast of air swept hundreds of square meters.  This is the killing effect caused by a 500kg aerial bomb used by a ghost car dive bomber (1200 horsepower air-cooled). The terrifying power completely shattered the confidence of the Amanullah Guards.  At the same time, the sky above the airport to the north was also very busy. A Yunjiu aircraft had just landed and unloaded its soldiers, and then it rose from the ground and joined the fighter jets hovering in the sky to fly north.

    One or two There are more and more soldiers at Kabul Airport. When they roar into the city and use the 11 captured Soviet BT26 tanks to rush towards the still resisting palace, they also declare that Kabul  It changed hands again nine years later.

    News of the successful landing in Kabul was quickly sent by radio to the Andiyan branch of the Northwest National Defense Communications Center, and then followed the defense communication cables costing hundreds of millions to build to Urumqi, Baotou, and finally to the Ministry of National Defense in Xishan, Beijing.  It was already afternoon in Beijing at this time, and the crisp phone ringing broke the dullness and brought the Presidential Palace, the Ministry of National Defense and even the entire country into a whirlpool.

    When Yang Qiu and Wang Zhengting arrived at the combat conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, the place was already bustling with people.  Ignoring the soldiers saluting around them, the two immediately grabbed Song Ziqing, not even paying attention to the overflowing excitement around them, and asked: "How is the situation? Was it successful?"

    Song Ziqing was equally excited. No soldier wants to die on his bed when another military era begins.  He couldn't remain calm either.  He clenched his fist with his lowered left hand and saluted the president and prime minister.  He raised his chin slightly: "Report to the President, at 5:17 a.m. Afghan time, the commandos successfully landed at the airport. At 5:50, they basically controlled the airport! At 7:00, they completed the siege of the palace. The telegram from 20 minutes ago  Say, Amanulla and their family are all in our hands!"

    "here you go!"

    Yang Qiu could not hold back the excitement in his crisp and clear report. He made a fist with his right hand and raised it above his head.  All the officers in the room were affected by this action, high-fiving each other and cheering loudly.  It was an Eben Emaar-style victory!  Its significance not only proves that the Wehrmacht after 26 years of development.  It has initially possessed mechanically precise overseas collaborative operations capabilities, allowing China to once again regain the initiative in the situation in Afghanistan!

    Many people don¡¯t understand why small Afghanistan is so important, and why people are still dreaming about it and are not willing to give up.  In fact, as long as you look at the map of Asia twice, you will understand how important this country known as the crossroads of Asia is!  To the north is the dividing line between China and the Soviet Union for hegemony; to the south is the rich and oil-rich Indo-Gangetic Plain, and to the south is Arabia, which is weak but possesses oil resources.  To the west is Turkmenistan and the Caspian Sea, and to the east is China!  It can be said without exaggeration.  This is the real heart of Asia. Whoever controls this place has the right to freely choose Asia's strategy!  For mainland countries like China and the Soviet Union, this is a strategic place that must be fought over!

    Now, the initiative lies with Beijing!  Nader Shah's surrender and Amanullah's arrest.  This means that the two most influential powerful factions in Afghanistan are in the same fist. No matter who wants to intervene in Afghanistan in the future, they must weigh China's influence.

    "So far, a total of two gliders have been lost, and two more were damaged when they were towed away after landing. The assault battalion has a total of 37 casualties. 13 of them died. A total of 323 Soviet soldiers were killed and 1,197 captured.  . Killed 287 Amanula puppet troops and captured 3,154 people!" Deputy Chief of General Staff Zhu Depei stood in front of the map.  The first "company commander" of the National Defense University, after 25 years in the army, relied on his own efforts and talent to finally knock on the door of the General Staff.  His voice was loud and could be heard clearly from every corner: "At present, the vast majority of the puppet troops in Kabul have laid down their weapons. After ensuring the safety of their personal and family members, Amanullah has promised to persuade his troops to come to us.  Surrender. Now the Northwest General Command is seizing the time to transport troops to Kabul. It is expected that all three regiments will be transported there before sunset. In three days, the total number of troops stationed in Kabul will reach 20,000!

    The lack of heavy equipment that we were most worried about has been initially resolved. The airborne battalion captured a total of more than 50 cannons of various types, 221 machine guns of various types, 11 tanks, three aircraft and  A large number of weapons and ammunition, preliminary estimates can allow an infantry division to hold on for at least a month!  Judging from the telegrams sent back by reconnaissance planes, the Soviet troops deployed near the Hindu Kush Mountains have responded. At least one regiment is on its way back to support, and the Air Force is already bombing and intercepting them.  The Soviet troops in Kunduz and Baghlan are currently contained there, and the Soviet troops in Kandahar and Herat have not yet responded.  "

    "This regiment must be destroyed!" Zhang Xiaozhun next to him shouted: "The Afghan Northern Army and the Asian Brigade have begun to attack Baghlan and Kunduz. News of the fall of Kabul will definitely reach Moscow by tomorrow at the latest, and Stalin will definitely give the order  Reinforcements.?Unless this regiment is eaten, the morale of Amanullah's puppet army will be greatly reduced. Unless the two Soviet divisions in Kunduz and Herat can fly over, they will have to watch Nadir Khan take the throne.  .  "

    Yang Qiu nodded.

    To tell the truth, we exchanged a mere 37 casualties for Kabul and the initiative to control the crossroads!  This special airborne operation can already be recorded in the history of world wars. Even if the Eben Emaar Fortress assault occurs in the future, it will be unmatched in terms of scale and strategic significance.  Seeing Chen Guofu, Gu Weijun and Wang Zhaoming walking in, he waved to them to sit down, then took a breath to calm his heartbeat, returned to his usual calm tone, and asked, "When can Nadersha and Amanullah come?"

    "According to the plan, Nader Shah will go to Kabul the day after tomorrow to announce his inauguration as the new king, and then take a flight to Beijing in the afternoon. Amanullah's family will fly to Beihai first, and after Nader Shah leaves, we will take him to Harbin  Stay temporarily." Song Ziqing said the plan.  Although Amanullah was arrested, his identity is still very sensitive. If he is placed in the country, he can shock all Afghan factions. If anyone turns against him, he can be immediately pulled out and supported again.

    "Have you thought about the next step?" The faint voice swept away the excitement.  The victory is over.  The remaining things were more critical, so Yang Qiu looked at Chief of General Staff Yue Peng.  The latter caught sight.  He immediately replied: "The Soviet Union will definitely not be willing to give in. This is no longer as simple as a military defeat. Behind Germany and Italy's intervention in Spain was the acquiescence and support of Britain, France and other countries, which shows that everyone has begun to curb the expansion of gcism. Before that,  The only export channel for revolution that Moscow can ensure is smooth is the Afghanistan-Iran-Indian Ocean road. Now that Kabul is controlled by us, it means that the safest road is cut off. If they don't take it back, then it will be a joke to talk about launching a world revolution.

    So I think.  Stalin would definitely react violently!  However, they only have a total of more than 500,000 troops outside the northwest, and the rest are still in Chelyabinsk and the Urals. It has begun to snow in these places, and even if they increase the number of troops, they will not be very large.  So there won't be much of a problem on the northwest frontier until next spring comes.  We should use this period of time and the opportunity of Germany, Italy and Britain to win over us to secure Nader Shah's throne as soon as possible.  Give the Soviet Union no excuse to interfere.  In this way, if they continue to stay in Afghanistan, it will become an invasion, and we can legitimately use the resource highway to increase troops in Afghanistan, assuming a posture that is bent on cutting off the Soviet Union's southward movement and opening up the Persian channel.  "

    A few years ago, it was due to identity issues.  Wang Zhaoming has never had the opportunity to participate in the National Strategy Conference, but since he became the deputy speaker, his status has gradually increased. In addition, Yang Qiu's deliberate connivance behind the scenes has continued to increase the number of Democratic Party seats in the cabinet.  He was also made chairman of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly, and then he squeezed into the General Staff seat.  When the Guoshe family was the dominant one.  He knew that his voice was weak, but he still needed to ask questions clearly, so he thought about it and said, "Brother Zian, do we really want to fight a war with the Soviet Union in Afghanistan? After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country's development has not been smooth due to backward education and basic foundation. Now,  We have finally reached the harvest period, and the foundation has been laid solidly. In addition, this year has been the fourth consecutive year with a growth rate of more than 13%! It is the best time for the country's development. Wouldn't it be boring to start a war rashly? "

    Yue Peng glanced at him meaningfully. He had been watching Yang Qiu gradually increase the strength of the Democratic Party.  For the long-term development of the Republic, he has always remained neutral on this matter.  But because of the previous estrangement between the two parties, he was not stupid enough to reveal his true purpose. He only replied: "The purpose of helping Nader Shah regain the throne this time is not only to support the Afghan government that is leaning towards us, but also to support the Soviet Union."  Containment and counterattack that have penetrated into our northwest in recent years! In my opinion, there is no way we can escape this battle with the Soviet Union. As long as Krasnoyarsk is in our hands, the East Siberian tundra will be destroyed.  A day does not completely belong to the Soviet Union. Stalin knew it, and Moscow knew it, so they have been worried that we would take the opportunity to swallow up the permafrost area. What's more, the internal conflicts in the Soviet Union are serious now, and the Great Purge has hurt the country deeply. Stalin will definitely seize the opportunity to transfer  Contradictory, he used the restoration of the territory of the former Tsarist Russia to show his wisdom and leadership. Therefore, there is no way to escape from this battle! Since there is no way to escape, it is natural to prepare first. Afghanistan's geographical location is important, so just grab it first  Make sure to cut off the communication channels between the Soviet Union and Japan, and defeat them one by one if a war breaks out."

    ¡°There is truth or lies in what he said, and everyone present who knows the core secret knows that he did it on purpose.  Because Yang Qiu's original intention was to use the loss of Afghanistan to create the illusion that China was building a China-Afghanistan-Persian Gulf encirclement, and to induce Stalin to make a mistake and take the initiative to go south.  Only in this way can we break through the constraints of the Sino-British Qingdao Maritime Security Agreement and dispatch troops to Saudi Arabia in the name of protecting oil.  Of course, the deliberate confrontation in the northwest was also to induce Japan to go south, because Japan would only take this step if a serious conflict broke out between China and the Soviet Union.

    Roosevelt withdraws from Philippines?Japan, because he needs Japan to go south to deal with China and Britain, and break the Versailles system to harm the United States.  Yang Qiu also needs Japan to go south to deal with Britain and the United States and clear the obstacles on his way forward.  And Nagata Tetsuyama also knows in his heart that Japan has become a pawn. What he has to do is to fight for the last glimmer of hope for Japan's survival before complete failure and falling to China and the United States!  The two most outstanding politicians on both sides of the Pacific and the clearest brains in Japan have actually been quietly entangled at this moment.

    And all of this is because of three secrets that are still buried deep in Yang Qiu's heart.

    Fight for control of the Asia-Pacific, fight for control of the Southwest Pacific, fight for control of the Indian Ocean!

    So Yang Qiu glanced at Yue Peng, then at Wang Zhaoming, and after his eyes lingered on their faces for a while, he turned to Gu Weijun and Wang Zhengting: "Shaochuan, you are responsible for contacting countries such as Britain, Germany, and France.  After Dilsha arrives in Beijing, he must be treated with the highest standards and a press conference must be held to show our firm support! In order to allow all countries to recognize Nadirsha's status as king and the legal status of the new Afghan government as soon as possible, don't be afraid of transactions. Now  At this time, making some concessions will not affect the overall situation. Rutang, after you go back, immediately convene a ministerial meeting to mobilize everyone and win public opinion to our side as soon as possible. Let the people know the importance of Afghanistan.  ! Let everyone understand that we are doing this to defeat and contain the enemy."

    After saying that, he turned to Song Ziqing: "Ziqing, you should also prepare an order immediately. This year's veteran rehabilitation work will be stopped immediately, and the soldiers who left before must also report back within the year. In addition, 10,000 trucks will be mobilized to Kashgar  , ordered the 103rd Division to garrison in Andiyan. Contact Mei Sheng again and tell him that from now on, the China-Afghanistan Resource Highway must be fully taken over by the Northwest Theater Command! Inform Yan Baohang and the others to pay attention to Japan's movements!"

    "My opinion is that, just in case, next year's defense budget should be increased to 7 billion, and then this year's demobilized veterans will be used to form ten new infantry divisions and merged into the 16th Army and the 17th Army."

    "No matter what Stalin chooses, we must be prepared!"
