Chapter 21 Training Tasks
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Lebed was surprised by Seriosha's sudden arrival. The two had only one encounter and could not have any friendship. He never expected that Seriosha would come to him in trouble, rather than the more powerful Grachev. However, one thing Lebed understood, that is, the battalion commander who was airborne, had no connections or foundation here. The company commander and platoon leader under his command were both experienced in the 354th Airborne regiment, so it was impossible to make these people obey under his command. So Seriosha took the initiative to show kindness to him, which was very precious to Lebed now.
"Please be sure to tell me honestly that I know what level I am at!" Sherylsha said this is the truth. He now deeply understands the saying that the difference between the two is like a mountain. The airborne troops are also high-tech troops, and it is really not something Sherylsha can control. You must know that people like Lebede first had to study at the Liangzan Airborne Command Academy for three years, and then entered the Fulongzhi Military Academy for four years. After graduation, they were in the army for five years before they reached the position of battalion commander. Moreover, this can be regarded as a rocket promotion, so it can be seen that their difficulty is.
"You are just a recruit who has just learned to jump. It is not suitable to be an officer immediately. Please be honest. If you are an officer of a regular army, you can still be competent, but the airborne soldiers..." Although Lebed said something unpleasant, he spoke sincerely, without any airs of a commander at all, and he was just talking about the matter. Although Selyosha was a little embarrassed, he still listened to Lebed's words.
"Actually, I still envy you very much. You have become an officer just half a year after joining the army and have also won the Red Star Medal. This is not something everyone can do." Lebed may be afraid that his words would hurt Seryosha's self-esteem too directly, so he added a few more words.
Seriosha smiled at Lebede. Although he recognized Lebede's evaluation of himself, he did not intend to give up his position as platoon leader. Because doing so was slapping Grachev in the face and also ruining his reputation. Seriosha asked, "If I plan to continue working as a platoon leader, do you have any suggestions for me?"
"If it is normal, you will be sent back to the military academy in China for training, but this road is impossible now, because our division will soon make big moves. And time is tight, so it is probably too late to learn from books. I'm afraid you can only learn in actual combat." Lebed said sincerely.
"What does learning in actual combat mean?" Seryosha was a little angry. He felt that Lebed said nothing. Fortunately, he still trusted him so much.
"You misunderstood what I mean. I mean that you can improve your level and your subordinates in actual tasks. We can learn and exercise by performing some less dangerous tasks. I can arrange it for you. In fact, the assessment will eventually serve the battle. What do you think?" After Lebed said this, Seryosha understood that people are indeed kind-hearted. It is indeed a good idea to train the abilities of soldiers and officers through some simple military tasks.
"Do you have the right tasks on hand at the moment?" Selyosha couldn't wait.
"Actually there are quite a few, but other platoons are unwilling to do it. I don't know if you want to go?" Lebed said while observing Selyosha's expression. Lebed was telling the truth. The public security in Kabul has been deteriorating recently, and the Afghan government forces can't handle it at all, so the Afghan government forces can only turn to the Soviets. The Soviets also had to pay attention to the issue of public security. Lebed had several such tasks at hand, but the lower-level officers of the 103rd Airborne Division were not very fond of these tasks, and everyone tried their best to shirk them.
"What mission!" Xie Liaosha asked.
Lebed replied: "Assist the Afghan government forces in maintaining public order in Kabul, rest assured that there is still security, and dangerous things can be left to the Afghans."
Selyosha looked at it in his heart, and in fact he had decided to accept it. Why? Aren’t these tasks just urban counter-terrorism? This is one of the main businesses of the armed police force! After all, it is Selyosha’s old profession and is familiar with the way! If you perform these tasks, you will not be frustrated because you have never been in contact with them.
"I'm willing to go!" Selyosha simply agreed.
Lebed smiled with relief, Seryosha is really an easy person to get along with!
...
In the Pagman Mountains in northwest Kabul, Hafizzola Kasim Vardak is accompanying Pakistani guests and American guests from afghanistan. This is not the first time that the Pakistani guest has come to Hafizzola. As a staff member of the Pakistani Army Intelligence Service, he not only brought advanced arms and funds to Hafizzola, but more importantly, it also brought volunteers who came from all over the world to support Afghan independence. Most of these volunteers are from wealthy Saudi Arabia, who are generally well-educated. This is very important. It is important to know that most of Hafizzola's subordinates are illiterate, and those who use them first.
The American weapons required a certain amount of knowledge. These volunteers came in handy at this time. They could quickly learn how to use these advanced weapons and then teach Hafizola's people. Soon the volunteers took on the job of training Hafizola's guerrillas to use American weapons. At the same time, in the training camps opened by the guerrillas, Hafizola also personally explained the knowledge of guerrilla warfare to these volunteers. During this period, the guerrillas and volunteers have been getting along happily and have benefited a lot from each other. Everyone eats a pot of rice and sleeps in a cave like a family. It really feels like musilin and family.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The crisp gunshots resounded throughout the valley. Pakistani guests and American guests watched these volunteers shooting targets in a distance in a very good manner, and they couldn't help but nod. You should know that these guys may have never even touched guns before coming to Afghanistan.
"Good! Sharpshooter!" The American gave a thumbs up and said to Hafezola repeatedly. Hafezola understood that it was the Americans who praised their good shooting skills, and he was very happy! Hafezola didn't have to think about what the Americans came from. Who else could come with the people from the Intelligence Service of the Three Military Intelligence Service? They were obviously here to inspect their investments. When they thought of the CIA, Hafezola couldn't help but feel moved.
