Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Central Asia, northern Afghanistan, western Pamirs.  After China defeated Russia in the last war, this area has become Chinese territory and is managed by the Xijiang Province established by China.  As China's combat intentions against India become more and more obvious, more and more Chinese troops have gathered in the area north of Afghanistan.

    More than 100,000 troops of the Chinese Army's 1st Group Army, the Army's 20q to 210th Infantry Divisions, and forty Japanese mercenary divisions have already entered combat positions.  Gray's combat supplies are also ready.  As soon as the order from the General Staff is issued, they will launch an attack on Afghanistan.

    As a British colony, Afghanistan has relatively few troops stationed in Afghanistan. After the large-scale expansion of the British and Indian troops, a group army was mobilized to station in Afghanistan.  The entire group army has a total of more than 500,000 people.

    In addition, there are 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. During wartime, these troops are under the command of British and Indian commanders.

    Qiube, Kurgan, which is only fifty kilometers away from Afghanistan, has become the headquarters of the 1st Group Army of the Chinese Army.  In the afternoon of October 16, the commander of the 1st Group Army summoned the chief officers of the following divisions and the chief officers of the 201st to 210th Infantry Divisions to Kurgan Qiube to attend a military meeting.  In addition, Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian and Japanese mercenary commander General Kojiro Uchiyama will also participate in this meeting.  Everyone realized that this meeting should be related to the attack on Afghanistan.

    Many generals in the Chinese Army are still holding back their energy.  Seeing their colleagues dealing with the Americans like chopping vegetables and melons on the American battlefield, but they could only be bystanders, this made them very jealous and envious of the good luck of those colleagues.  In war years, if generals want to be promoted, they need to accumulate a lot of military exploits.  And military exploits can only be achieved on the battlefield.  Now, it's finally their turn.  Although the main targets of the battle are the British and Indian Asan, who are terribly weak, can they still dislike them at this moment?  Anyway, as long as you defeat the enemy, you can always gain military merit.  This is much better than those colleagues who are still confronting the Russians in Central Asia and Siberia!

    At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the military meeting was held, all the generals had already arrived.  At this time, General Yang Guoxing, commander of the 1st Group Army, and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa, chief of staff, walked into the conference room one after another.  All the generals stood up and saluted. After General Yang Guoxing and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa returned the salute, they sat down.  General Yang Guoxing will serve as the commander of the First Group this time, and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa will serve as the chief of staff of the First Group.  General Yang Guoxing sat at the head of the conference table, while Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa sat in the first seat to his left.  The first position on the right is Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian.  As for the Japanese mercenary commander, General Kojiro Uchiyama, he sat at the back.  As a mercenary commander who obeyed the orders of the Chinese army, Uchiyama Kojiro did not have much position in the first group. He was not even as good as a division commander of the Chinese army.  Even though the Japanese mercenaries under his command numbered as many as 400,000, they were equivalent in number to the Chinese army in the first cluster.  But that doesn't change anything!

    "Everyone, the General Staff has issued an order. Our operation in Afghanistan will begin at 6 a.m. on the 18th! According to the previous plan, the 1st Armored Brigade under the 1st Group Army and the Army's 3rd Division, 13th Division,  The troops composed of the 47th Division will directly cross the Penchi River, attack Aivaj, march towards Kunduz, and sweep away the British, Indian and Afghan troops north of the Hindu Kush Mountains. Ten divisions will be deployed by Japanese mercenaries to cooperate.  This army. The 48th Division, the 54th Division and the 55th Division set out from Termez and attacked southward along the Balkh River to destroy the British and Indian troops along the way. The Japanese mercenaries deployed 20 divisions to cooperate.  . Moreover, the main task of this group of troops is to cut off the westward escape route of the British, Indian and Afghan troops. The 201st to 210th Divisions launched an attack from Kabush. After capturing Herat, they moved along the Hindu Ku  Attack the Shishan Mountains eastwards and attack Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan! Ten divisions of Japanese mercenaries will also be deployed along the way to cooperate!" The Chief of Staff of the 1st Group Army opened a document in front of him and read.  This is a combat plan that has been prepared by the 1st Group Army Staff Headquarters and submitted to the General Staff Headquarters for approval.  After the battle begins, the 1st Army and other units will implement this plan.

    "General Chen, this time we need the Air Force to provide support for our operation!" General Yang Guoxing, commander of the 1st Group Army, said to Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian.

    "Commander, don't worry, the 2nd Air Force Wing and the 3rd Air Force Team are ready!" Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian replied.  However, the British and Indian forces do not have aircraft. This is simply a unchallenging task for the air force.  Lieutenant General Chen Tian himself also sent several air force wings to participate in the battle against India, which was exactly what he was doing!  It is really not worthwhile to use expensive aerial bombs to blow up those Indian Asans.  Aerial bombs are much more expensive than bullets.

    ?"Then everyone, if it doesn't make sense, then follow this plan! Remember, our enemies are only 500,000 British Indian troops and 100,000 Afghan troops. Their combat effectiveness is not strong, and the main difficulty we face is  It¡¯s the poor transportation in Afghanistan. During operations, all ministries must ensure the safety and smooth flow of logistics supply lines, otherwise it will cause us a lot of trouble!¡± General Yang Guoxing reminded.  The Hindu Kush Mountains divide Afghanistan into two halves.  There are no roads in the Hindu Kush Mountains, which are more than 2,000 meters above sea level. If the Chinese army wants to capture Afghanistan, it must bypass the Hindu Kush Mountains.  This is why the plan drawn up by the 1st Group Army handed over the British, Indian and Afghan troops in northern Afghanistan to the 1st Group Army to eliminate them, while the other ten infantry divisions were preparing to bypass the Hindu Kush Mountains and march towards southern Afghanistan.  The reason for the attack.

    "Yes, General!" everyone replied loudly.  They have been longing for this battle for a long time.  As for the British-Indian army and the Afghan army, they didn't take it to heart at all.  It's not that they are arrogant, but the combat effectiveness of the British, Indian and Afghan troops is very limited, and they are no match for the Chinese army, which is armed to the teeth.

    After the meeting, General Yang Guoxing and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa came to the office.

    "Chief of Staff, how is our contact with Afghanistan? There will be an attack the day after tomorrow? How are they going to cooperate with us?" General Yang Guoxing asked.  China has also been infiltrating Afghanistan over the years.  Although the attitude of King Habibullah Khan of Afghanistan is pro-British, China also has its own agents in Afghanistan.

    "We have been in contact with the Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks, and Turkmen in northern Afghanistan. They have promised to cooperate with us in launching attacks against the Afghan army and the British and Indian troops after we launch the offensive. However, they requested that  After we defeat Afghanistan, they will gain control of northern Afghanistan!" Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa said.

    The main population of Afghanistan is Pashtun, accounting for 40% of the total population of Afghanistan.  In addition, Tajiks account for 25%, and Hazaras account for 20%.  Uzbeks and Turkmens account for about 5 percent.  These ethnic groups account for more than 95% of the total population of Afghanistan.  There are also more than 20 ethnic minorities, but because the population is so sparse, they can hardly be considered.  During this period, Afghanistan's total population was only more than three million people.  The Pashtuns do not have an absolute advantage.

    What¡¯s more, the Pashtuns are more pro-British, while several other ethnic groups are more pro-China, which determines that China will inevitably adopt a strategy of suppressing the Pashtuns in Afghanistan.

    "Has the country agreed to their request?" Yang Guoxing asked.  Although Afghanistan's geographical location is very important, its products are relatively poor.  Such land is completely useless to China.  If Afghanistan can be handed over to the pro-China Afghan nation in exchange for stability in Afghanistan, this will be very beneficial to China.

    "The country has agreed to their request. The guys from the Military Intelligence Bureau have reached an agreement with the tribal elders. It is said that after we capture Afghanistan, we will abolish Habibullah Khan, and then establish a Tajik, Haza  The government is jointly run by the Lhasa, Uzbek and Turkmen people. However, the Pashtuns will definitely be the targets of suppression!" Wu Yanfa said.

    "No matter how they suppress them, it's none of our business! Our goal is to destroy the British and Indian troops!" General Yang Guoxing said.

    The British-Indian army stationed in Afghanistan is the 23rd Group Army of the British-Indian Army, commanded by British Army Lieutenant General Airdrie.  He deployed the main force of the 23rd Army to the north of the Hindu Kush Mountains, and seemed to intend to have a head-on confrontation with the Chinese army.  The Chinese military is very surprised. Why does Lieutenant General Airdrie do this? Does he think that hundreds of thousands of Indian Asans can defeat the Chinese army?  As for the Afghan troops, they are deployed on the south side of the Hindu Kush Mountains, mainly in the area near the capital Kabul.

    Although it is unclear whether Lieutenant General Airdrie was kicked in the head by a donkey, this does not affect the Chinese Army's attack plan.  When the time came on October 18, the Chinese Army's First Group for Combating India launched an attack on the 23rd Group Army of the British and Indian Army from three directions at 7:30 in the morning!
