Soviet Union 1991

(fifth update)

The Figure 95 strategic bomber is like the giant bear codenamed by NATO. Its huge body covers the sky above the mountains bordering Dagestan. It is like a huge Haast eagle, looking down on its wings with a condescending attitude. The living beings below are ants, their life and death depend only on the driver's fingers, or in other words, his thoughts.

Hearing the roar of the plane overhead, the marching Chechen armed forces stopped advancing and hid under tree trunks. Although Basayev knew that the personnel on the bomber could not detect their team, he still cautiously hid in the grass. , waiting for the two bombers to fly over.

"It's strange, Commander-in-Chief Basayev, why are these two strategic bombers headed for Dagestan? This is a bit strange. Logically speaking, shouldn't they be heading to Chechnya for bombing?"

Basayev also felt a little strange when he heard his subordinates' doubts. But he rejected the idea that the troops might be discovered. After all, this emergency march was absolutely confidential. They had maintained radio silence and even the top brass in Grozny could not figure out their current specific location.

"Report to the headquarters, we have arrived at the predetermined position." The driver of the Tu95 bomber was over the Chechen armed forces. Although he had no way of knowing every move below, he was guided by lasers from an area one kilometer away through intelligence personnel. , it is still possible to determine the approximate bombing location.

"Allow bombs to be dropped and destroy them." Putin's answer was concise and clear. Just like his thunderous style, he will not be merciful to terrorists and will destroy them wherever they are found, leaving absolutely no consequences.

"Understood, prepare to drop bombs." The Tu95 strategic bomber is already over the marching route of the Chechen armed rebels. As long as the button is pressed, they will turn into coke in an instant. Of course, the pilot does not need to think about issues such as massacre and morality, because he just faithfully performs the above mission and eliminates the enemies of the Soviet Union.

The bomb bay was opened, and dozens of conventional bombs loaded in the bay poured down like a barrage of iron rain towards the mountains where the Chechen militants were entrenched, without any mercy or hesitation. A wonderful massacre kicked off. When Basayev, who was marching on the mountainside, saw this scene, he quickly pushed away the soldiers around him and shouted, "Everyone find cover to hide!"

He hasn't finished speaking yet. The first bomb has already fallen to the ground, and a bright fireball rises, as dazzling as the rising sun in the east. The high temperature and scorching air waves generated by the explosion of the bomb instantly snap the nearby trees in half, and the militants who have no time to escape are in Under the heat and flames, it turned into a black mass of charcoal. Basayev was directly lifted up by the air wave and flew out.

Huge fireballs rose up in the mountains one after another. Along the marching route of the Chechen armed forces, every explosion of a bomb would spread like a sea of ​​​​fire in all directions. Some militants who did not die in the explosion were swallowed alive by the flames, and their hearts were torn before they died. Lung-cracking shouts filled the mountainside.

"Oh my God, it's so scary." Even the investigation team one kilometer away could feel the strong vibrations of the earth. They turned away and couldn't bear to see this scene, which was like a sea of ​​hell and fire. Those people were like They are souls suffering in hell. This scene is so shocking and at the same time too miserable to watch.

"Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust." The members of the investigation team held their own crosses and prayed silently.

A fiery red stream spread across the mountainous areas, like numerous river basins flowing straight through. The sea of ​​​​fire continued to spread. Almost no terrorists could escape in such an environment. The bombs they dropped even flattened the entire mountain range. . A huge conical funnel pit appeared on the ground, surrounded by bodies that were burned into charcoal, or just a part of it.

Presumably this night, residents on the Dagestan border will be awakened by this terrible bombing, if they look out of their windows. You will also see the light of fire lighting up the entire dark night sky.

The crew members of the Tu95 strategic bomber turned back to look at the sea of ​​​​fire lighting up the dark continent, and joked to the co-pilot, "If we kill that guy Basayev, can we get a reward of 1 million US dollars?"

"Don't think so much. I'll give you a hundred thousand at most. How do you know whether he was killed by the bomb you dropped or by another plane's bomb? Who should I call if there is a fight over uneven distribution? ?" the co-pilot teased, not forgetting to report the results to the headquarters while joking.

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

"Very well, boys. You did very well." Putin replied briefly and forcefully.

The burning sea of ​​​​fire lasted all night before slowly extinguishing. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops went to the scene two days later, they saw charred and scorching land, carbonized tree trunks, and vague wreckage. Even in the cold winter, you can still feel the scorching heat that was raging in this area through your thick coat.

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

"No one will survive at all." One of the soldiers accompanying Putin sighed. "No one can survive such a terrible covering attack, even if they are hiding in insects."

"Well, but some things still need to be done." Putin must of course faithfully complete the aftermath of this bombing mission, and let the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs collect the remains of the armed personnel that can be found, and then take them back to confirm their identities, and see if they can find Basayev's body through dental mold comparison.

Of course, the news of Basayev's death will be kept secret for the time being, but such a major news that a team of 2,800 people was wiped out by a bomb will definitely make the headlines of Moscow news. This is undoubtedly a further blow to the morale of the Chechen illegal armed forces, which are in a stalemate in the war.

"It will probably not be long before the leaders of Chechnya will also have internal strife." Seeing the quick news from Putin, Yanayev was relieved and decided to slow down the step-by-step offensive. After calculating for so long, Kadyrov should have defected. The temporary government was united because of external pressure. Once the internal contradictions were exposed, there would be a chance to defeat them one by one.

Anyway, Kadyrov has always had political disagreements with Dudayev and Maskhadov. As long as the internal groups in Chechnya are divided, Yanayev can easily cultivate a pro-Soviet agent in Chechnya. Then he can unite with the agent regime and wipe out the group of people who are trying to split the family.

The plans are linked together and step by step, and the separatist forces are completely disintegrated! (To be continued.)
