Vladimir Granat immediately replied, let them enter Kandahar immediately, the more this critical juncture, the more effective it can be, if Mohammed Yakub Khan does not need the help of the Chinese army, what is the point of going According to Vladimir Granat's instructions, Zhang Haobo and Gao Yitong led their troops, while dodging the battle lines of both sides, while advancing in a roundabout way in the direction of Kandahar.This is too difficult, because they don't belong to either side, fortunately, the Chinese army from the commander to the soldier In fact, there are no soldiers in this small unit, the lowest rank is a second lieutenant, and all the veterans are very professional, and in the interval between the battles between the two sides, they are still interspersed on this night.Boom boom boom.The artillery fire of the British troops was very intensive.Gao Yitong squatted down and said to Zhang Haobo: "It seems that the British are going to attack this time" "No matter how much, the stationmaster has already given an order, we must enter Kandahar and meet with Muhammad Yakub Khan to protect our embassy." ”Zhang Haobo said."
Okay," Gao Yitong replied loudly.In fact, there is little point in protecting the embassy, no one dares to move the embassy of the Chinese army at all, the Afghans are not insane, the British are not insane, and the British army does not have the artillery strength to raze the entire Kandahar to the ground.Now that Huaguo is already strong, if anyone accidentally injures Huaguo's embassy, they can imagine the consequences.Not only Chinese businessmen and secret service personnel will enter the embassy, but even many Afghan women and children who have been injured will also call for help from the Chinese embassy, and the embassy will do its best to help Afghan civilians within its capabilities.Now the relationship between the three parties is so delicate, and they will start to do it if they don't agree with each other, but for China, Afghanistan and the British army, they are all jealous, and they can be regarded as scruples.The British army has artillery and guns, and this is actually a one-sided game, and the Afghans are completely protecting their homeland with their flesh and blood.When the Chinese army came, there were more than 210 people, and when they arrived in Kandahar, there were only 199 people left, and there were less than 200 people."
Don't be nervous, we're the Chinese army, we're here to protect the embassy," Mahmoudi shouted into an area defended by Afghans.This time there was a response: "You don't welcome the Chinese people when you go here" The Afghans were very strange, and it was not clear how the Chinese army could come to Kandahar, suspecting that they had killed them all the way."
We have come with the permission of the Shari'ar chief, we are here to help you, please tell Muhammad Yakub Khan what we mean," Mahmoudi said loudly, his face covered with sweat, and it would be embarrassing to turn back if he got here.Zhang Haobo and Gao Yitong, who were prostrate beside Mahmoudi, were also nervous.It took several minutes before the other side shouted, "You wait, we'll ask Khan." ”"Okay, thank you."
Mahmoudi was overjoyed and hurriedly replied.Zhang Haobo, Gao Yitong, and some people who can understand Afghan are all relieved and feel that there is hope again.Although Mohammed Yakub Khan rejected contact with Huaguo, believing that Huaguo and the British were the same, he just wanted to be their master, there was no free lunch in the world, and he did not think that Huaguo was sincere in helping the Afghans.But now the situation has changed, because Muhammad Yakub Khan has really reached the end of the crossbow, more than 1.5 million troops, less than 500,000 people died, two-thirds of the dead, this is not counting civilians, all counted, this time the British invasion caused at least more than a quarter of the entire Afghanistan casualties.If there is no outside help, either he will die in battle, and Abdul Rahman Khan, who has already defected to the British army, will enter Afghanistan with his British masters, or he will surrender, but he will never surrender, only the first one.In fact, Muhammad Yakub Khan had already made the first choice, and even thought about whether to go to the Central Asian provinces to seek asylum in China, since he had thought about seeking asylum in China, what if he contacted the Chinese army, "Khan, let them in Now, if we don't surrender to the British, we can only rely on the Chinese." ”Yamrali, the vizier of Muhammad Yakub Khan."
Yamlali, I'm worried, the Chinese seem to be more ruthless than the British, the British only want colonies, at least most of them can still be in the original land, but they are exploited.But what China wants is not only land, but also people, and it can be seen from their treatment of Central Asia, directly turning Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan into provinces of China, and when the time comes, we will forget our direct ancestors, do you want to become Chinese" Muhammad Yakub Khan sighed."
You can talk about the conditions, the current situation, I can't wait, I estimate, if it drags on for another five to ten days, we will not have the ability to organize defense, and there are very few soldiers who can fight."
Yamrali said sadly."
Well, let them in, they said it was to protect their embassy, and it wouldn't work if they weren't allowed to come."
Muhammad Yakub Khan said to Yamrali: "Leave this matter to you." ”Yamlari put his hand on his chest, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”In Yamrali's heart, he did not look up to Muhammad Yakub Khan very much, thinking that he was only a nobleman and did not have much ability.Zhang Haobo, Gao Yitong and others were still waiting, and the sky was full of artillery fire from the British.This is the most typical war of attrition, but unfortunately the Afghans are not equal in strength, otherwise, it is the trench battlefield of the First World War, the British rely on the advantage of firepower to cover the advance, the casualties are not large, but to take a fortress, it also has to pay a lot of casualties, the most difficult thing is that after taking it, it is difficult to let the Afghans not take it back, the Afghans in the process of snatching, mainly rely on machetes and white-knuckle combat, and the casualties paid will be greater than the British.For more than a year, the two sides have been fighting for consumption, blood and blood consumption, the war is cruel, and, many times, when it comes to this kind of offensive and defensive battle of a city that has to be defended, it can only be fought with willpower, there is no shortcut, at this time, whether it is to call Napoleon in the West or Han Xinlai in the East, it cannot do better."
You can come here," the Afghan shouted.The Chinese army below Zhang Haobo cheered softly at the same time, as if it was the luckiest thing in life to be able to enter Kandahar, but the fact is that entering Kandahar is equivalent to stepping into the gate of hell with one foot.t1706231537:
