Dominate South Asia

"Report to the Chief of Staff, we only have the authority to expel. If we shoot down the Soviet plane, we must first report to Islamabad." Crimea said to Muhammad.

"By the time Islamabad's order comes down, the Soviet plane will have long disappeared." Muhammad said: "The Soviet planes that came this time are carrying bombs and are here to bomb our refugee camps. It's fine if they violate our airspace, but we also let them bomb our Pakistani land! If we fail to shoot down the Soviet planes, then our air defense forces are ****?"

"Yes, yes." Crimea nodded quickly, not knowing whether he agreed with Muhammad's order to fire or agreed that he was ****.

………

"Drop the auxiliary fuel tank and bomb according to the original plan." Belov calmly ordered on the radio.

The four Su-24 fighters were divided into two formations in the air, two of which went straight to the Jerozai refugee camp, and the other two went straight to a weapons output point near Mardan.

They took off from the valley of the Wakhan Corridor. The sweep angle of the wings was manually locked to 16 degrees, which was the best angle for a quick sprint. At the same time, the engine afterburner at the tail was turned on. The two engines burst out with a thrust of 12,500 kg, pushing the huge heavy fighter to climb quickly. The 500 kg laser-guided bomb under the belly was shining.

Their actions were very secretive. The Pakistani Air Force, which had always been slow, might have completed the bombing mission before they found them.

Jellozai refugee camp.

"I think it is most appropriate for our Afghan Islamic Association to send someone. That Muhammad was originally the instructor of our team. Therefore, from the legal relationship, the current Afghan Freedom Army should be considered as our Afghan Islamic Association." Gulbudin said with spit flying, with a smile on his face, and his right hand kept gesturing, as if to prove something.

"Gulbuddin, wake up." Harris on the other side immediately said: "The current Afghan Free Army doesn't know what you are, the Afghan Islamic Association. They only recognize Muhammad. Even that Khawaja is far more prestigious than you. Durrani and Fahim, these regiment commanders, don't take you seriously at all."

"That's because I haven't been there yet! When I get there, with my prestige, I will definitely be able to firmly control this army in my... our alliance's hands." Gulbuddin said: "I am ready and can set off at any time."

"No, the alliance has not made a decision yet. How can you be so anxious!" said several other voices.

Sayyaf looked at these messy scenes and felt angry.

After his efforts, Muhammad was finally transferred back to Peshawar. Now, those Afghan Free Army are in a situation where there is no direct superior leader. The alliance needs to send someone to take them over.

However, half a month has passed, and there have been meetings every day, but there has been no result.

Who should be sent to take over the Afghan Free Army? Everyone here can see that no matter who goes, as long as they take over this team, they will become the most powerful person in Afghanistan. When the Soviets are driven away, the person who controls this army will become the president of Afghanistan!

This is a job that makes everyone jealous. Everyone is fighting for it. Among them, Gulbudin is the most fierce. If there were no strong opposition from others, Gulbudin would have set out privately to take over the Free Army.

Gulbudin's reason is that Muhammad was originally sent to his subordinate guerrillas, and the current Afghan Free Army is derived from this guerrilla, so he is justified.

It can't be delayed any longer. Half a month has passed. If it is delayed any longer, it is unknown what changes will happen. Maybe, Khwaja, Durrani and others will become independent warlords!

"Don't quarrel." Sayyaf said: "Now, I announce the decision of the alliance."

Sayyaf's order is the order of the alliance. Listening to Sayyaf's words, everyone calmed down.

"The alliance in Peshawar can no longer play a good command role. I decided to move the alliance headquarters to the Panjshir Valley! We will command the struggle against the Soviets there! This will become a logistics base, mainly responsible for contacting our Western friends for arms assistance." Sayaf said: "We will become warriors fighting against the Soviet Union. We will fight on the front line!"

Sayaf's words shocked everyone. At the beginning, they all fled from Afghanistan in a panic. Although they formed an alliance here, in fact, everyone is a coward. They encouraged the people below to fight a holy war, but they themselves definitely did not want to experience the scene of bullets flying on the battlefield.

Now, Sayaf said he wanted to go back. Everyone was shocked and began to think about whether it would be more beneficial to go back with him or stay.

"Staying here is responsible for the most important task, which is to transport weapons and supplies to the front line. Gulbuddin, I think the alliance can only be assured of this task if it is handed over to you." Sayaf said.

Sayyaf made his attitude clear. Gulbuddin had always wanted to go to Afghanistan to gain command of the Free Army, but Sayyaf would never let such an ambitious person take control of the real power. Now was the time to reshuffle the power within the alliance.

"Yes, I agree, Gulbuddin, your task is the most difficult!" Harris quickly reacted and said.

"Yes, that's right, we will fight a holy war with the Soviets under the leadership of Sayyaf!" Others expressed their attitudes one after another: "Gulbuddin, you stay and support us with weapons, don't drag your feet!"

Gulbuddin looked at the faces of these people and felt sick. Want to exclude himself? Not so easy!

"I declare that the Afghan Islamic Association officially withdraws from the alliance!" Gulbuddin said: "No one can stop the fact that the Free Army is our Afghan Islamic Association! I will take over the troops now!"

After speaking, Gulbuddin stood up and wanted to go out aggressively.

"Gulbuddin, you want to withdraw from the alliance?" Sayyaf asked gloomily.

"Yes, when we joined the alliance, we had an agreement that we could withdraw freely." Nicobudin said, "Do you want to go back on your word?"

While speaking, Nicobudin did not look back, and continued to walk out with big strides. There were Sayaf's people all around here. If he had known, he would not have come here for the meeting. Now, only in the northwest corner of the refugee camp would there be his people.

"Come on, control him!" Sayaf said.

There was a clattering sound outside the tent, and several young men with AKM rifles appeared at the door of the tent.

"Sayaf, you are a villain who goes back on your word!" Gulbudin said, "We actually joined an organization like you!"

"Everything is for the war of resistance." Sayaf said, "Nicholas, you are wronged."

After speaking, Sayaf waved his hand, and several armed men took Nicobudin, skillfully put a cover on his head, and dragged him outside.

Seeing Nico Pudding under control, Sayyaf breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's continue the meeting and discuss the matter of entering the Panjshir Valley."

"Buzz, buzz." A roar came from a distance.

This is the sound of an airplane. Due to the tense border situation, the Pakistani Air Force often sways overhead.

"Prepare to drop bombs and aim at the target." In the cabin of the Su-24, Belov said to the weapon operator next to him.

The Su-24 is a large fighter. In many categories, this aircraft belongs to a bomber. It adopts a parallel double-seat layout, which allows pilots and weapon operators to have a good field of vision. After separating, the fighter entered the bombing route after flying for two minutes.

"Understood, altitude 4500, distance seven kilometers, laser indicator starts working, missile activated." The weapon operator said.

As he spoke, he turned the various switches in front of him, just like in normal training.

A KAB-500L laser-guided bomb mounted under the Su-24, the front-end seeker began to activate, and the weathervane semi-active laser seeker on the universal wheel bracket rotated, accurately capturing the thin laser beam.

This bomb is divided into two guidance methods. The airborne laser transmitter guidance needs to continuously illuminate the target before the missile hits the target. The laser transmitter handheld by the ground personnel only needs the fighter to drop the bomb.

Peshawar is the base camp of the Afghan mujahideen. There are also many agents sent by the KGB. There are many KGB eyes in the refugee camp. It was they who discovered the pattern. The leader of the alliance has been meeting in that tent every day in the past few days, so the Soviet high-level decided to kill them all.

The agent on the ground aimed the laser transmitter at the tent, and the reflected laser beam was received by the bomb's seeker for a few seconds. The missile locked the target, and then the weapon operator pressed the red button.

"Bang." With a dull sound, the 500-kilogram laser-guided bomb left the rack and flew forward in a parabolic trajectory. The control surface kept modifying the movement route and kept sliding down along the laser beam.

"Prepare for the next target." Belov continued. As long as the bomb was dropped, there was no need to worry about it. The next target was the training base in the north of the refugee camp, where there were Americans helping with the training. This time, the bomb must be thrown over the heads of the Americans!

Although the Su-24 is known as a bomb truck and has an astonishing external hanging capacity of 7,000 kilograms, it flew from a distant Soviet base, it had an auxiliary fuel tank, and had to fly in the mountains. The heavy external hanging would make its maneuverability very bad, so this time it only hung two 500-kilogram laser-guided bombs.

As for Fahim's discovery of the bombs of these planes at a glance, it was because Fahim regarded the auxiliary fuel tanks as bombs.
