Soviet Godfather

"At first we just wanted to blow up a Soviet plane, then the Americans suggested that we hijack one and fly it to a third country, and now you brought the plane straight back to Pagman and captured a Soviet prisoner. You It was a great surprise to me, you are the heroes of Paghman..." Hafizollah stood on the wing of the An-22 and delivered an exciting speech to the crowd below, while standing beside him Looking at the five combatants who participated in this operation. With a burst of cheers, Hafizollah left the glory to the five life-and-death fighters, allowing them to accept the cheers of the crowd, and he himself slowly stepped off the plane.

Hafizollah was quickly taken into the car by the bodyguards. As soon as he got into the car, his high-spirited expression immediately changed. He said to Yousuf and Jalal who were also sitting in the car: "We want There's big trouble, the Soviets are going crazy this time!"

"What should we do now?" Jalal, who was sitting in the front, turned around and asked.

"As long as the plane is still in our hands, we are safe for the time being. We are not ready to fight the Soviets. I plan to contact the Tajiks and Hazaras around us to see if we can talk to them Let’s fight against the Soviets together, so the chances of winning are better.” Hafizollah expressed his thoughts without reservation, Yusuf silently nodded in agreement, but Jalal seemed to have something to say in his heart, a look Hesitant expression.

"Jalal, what do you think?" Hafizollah asked quickly when he saw Jalal's appearance.

"General, although the Tajiks have quarrels with us, we have the same beliefs as them, and I have no objection to cooperating with them. But the Hazaras are different. They are MSLs of the SY sect and heretics. How can we cooperate with them?" Jalal's indignant tone made Hafizollah a little dissatisfied. It's no use thinking about these things anymore. Now that the enemy is at hand, it is to unite all Afghans to fight against the Soviets, and they are still considering the issue of sects.

Hafizollah was a little angry, this Jalal is fine everywhere, but he cares too much about these things. So he said: "The Hazaras must visit, and they are also Afghans. If you have any opinions, let me swallow them." The atmosphere in the car suddenly became silent, and Hafizollah no longer Ignoring Jalal, turned to Yusuf and said, "Send a letter to the Soviets and say that I want to negotiate with them." Yusuf nodded to show that he understood.

A few days later, Hafizollah personally visited the Tajik and Hazara tribes around Paghman, and his arrival was completely unexpected to the two tribes. Hafizollah impressed the leaders of the two tribes with his sincerity, and the three tribes finally reached an intention to unite against the Soviets. Hafizollah received the guarantee of the joint action of the Tajik and Hazara tribes, and now he feels that he is finally strong enough to wrestle with the Soviets, all of which the Soviets do not know.

Almost as soon as Hafizola had settled the Tajik and Hazara tribes, the Soviets also received news that Hafizola was willing to negotiate.

"What do you think this guy wants to do? Are you really afraid of our revenge?" In the Kabul theater command, everyone was puzzled by Hafizola's purpose, so they offered advice and suggestions.

"Do you want to exchange prisoners with us? After all, we also captured three of his subordinates?" Someone said naively, and no one answered such a ridiculous question.

"I think this is an opportunity, a good opportunity to catch him! We can seize him while negotiating with him, and then coerce Pagman's armed forces to hand over the plane." Xie Miao, commander of the 103rd Airborne Division came up with his own ideas. Most of the other people in the room were at the same level as Xie Miao, and everyone was discussing Xie Miao's suggestion one after another.

"Your idea is very good! Tell me, is there any specific way?" The commander-in-chief of the Kabul theater said to Semyon with full expectation.

"My idea is that when Hafizola appears at the negotiating place, we can send a small group of troops to arrest him, use a helicopter to enter the enemy's hinterland, and then bring him back quickly by helicopter. Just like ours It was the same in Prague back then. Hafizola’s whereabouts were erratic in the past, and this time he volunteered to sacrifice himself is a good opportunity for us to act..." Semyon talked about his thoughts, but he actually had selfish intentions, Kabul Of all the Soviet troops in the theater, only Semyon's 103rd Airborne Division was best suited for this type of mission. Xie Miao wants to seize this golden opportunity and seize Hafizola in one fell swoop to wash away the bad impression he left on the high-level in the videotape incident.

"Can you tell me how sure you are of this plan?" The commander-in-chief of the Kabul theater looked at Semyon and asked seriously.

"Other troops, I don't know. If it is handed over to our 103rd Airborne Division, we are fully confident that we can successfully complete this task. You know our strength!" Se Miao heard the meaning of the commander-in-chief of the Kabul theater, In fact, the commander-in-chief's first choice is also the 103rd Airborne Division.

"Do you have any specific candidates?" The commander-in-chief of the Kabul theater continued to ask worriedly.

"I think the 354th regiment of our division is pretty good. The leader of their regiment is Grachov. Last time they almost captured Hafizola..." Semyon knew in his heart that although Grachev was not his confidant, Grachov Husband is really capable. Semyon can be nepotistic in normal times, and from time to time he puts on little shoes for Grachev to let him know who is the boss in the 103rd Airborne Division. At critical times, Xie Miao will still send someone who is really capable to take the lead.

Leaving the Kabul Theater Command, Semyon returned to the 103rd Airborne Division without delay. As soon as he got out of the car, he immediately called Grachev to discuss arresting Hafizola. When Grachev learned of this situation, he couldn't help frowning.

"Do you know the specific negotiation location?" Grachev wanted to learn as much information as possible so that he could make better plans.

"I don't know, but it should be on the enemy's territory." Semyon was now relying on Grachev, and there was no need for him to hide anything from Grachev.

"Who do you plan to send to carry out the arrest mission?" Grachev asked again.

"I don't know, what candidates do you have?" Semyon also handed over the question of candidates to Grachev.

"How do you see Lebed?" replied Grachev.

"He's just a new battalion commander, is he reliable?" Semyon didn't want to use the inexperienced Lebed, fearing that he would affect the success or failure of the operation.

"No, they were the ones who fought against the ambush last time. They did a good job. I plan to send them this time!" Grachev will not tell Semyon what he really thinks in his heart. The reason why he recommended Lebed is actually It was to throw Seryozha and the others on the battlefield again, so that Chernenko could give an explanation. He would not let Seryozha miss any chance to die.
