Medical personnel in white clothes are searching tirelessly in the ruins, but unfortunately, each one has become a cold corpse.

  A large pit on the ground, with this tent ruins as the center, radiated to the surrounding tens of meters, many people were injured, those who were ten or so meters away from the center were corpses, and those who were closer, could not even be counted as human beings, but just clusters of minced meat.

  "Sayyaf, Harris, Dreyer... you have all answered the call of the Almighty and gone, I will take up your banner, we must drive the Soviets out of our land!" Gulbuddin stood in front of the ruins, saying firmly, his eyes red-rimmed, struggling not to let tears fall.

  If it weren't for a chili pepper's help, even his eyes wouldn't be red, let alone Gulbadin crying now, he can't even laugh.

  The Soviet plane arrived just in time, if it had been a minute earlier, even Gorbachev would have become a pile of minced meat. Now, those who opposed him were the ones who became minced meat, and Gorbachev, who was almost taken prisoner, was still alive and well. The top leaders of the Union were all gone, and Gorbachev was now the most powerful person.

  This time, let's see who else will come to compete with me for the position of commander-in-chief of the Afghan Freedom Army! With a military force like this under my command, by the end of the war, I will become the most powerful person in Afghanistan, and the position of President of Afghanistan will definitely be mine!

  It is necessary to show respect, now Gulbadin is here mourning his fallen comrades while preparing for a new journey.

  "The refugee camp was bombed, all the high-ranking officials of the Afghan Mujahideen Islamic Union were killed except for Nikubdin." In Peshawar's headquarters, in the commander's office, Musa Af said to Muhammad who had just rushed back.

  It was Musharraf who called Muhammad back when he heard about the dogfight. Musharraf was also very concerned and on seeing Muhammad's schedule at the radar station, he got him called back.

  Reports of the air raid kept coming in to Musharraf, and when he learned that senior alliance leaders had been bombed, his brow furrowed.

  "It's better if they were bombed." Muhammad said carelessly: "These people are all afraid of death. They claim to be directing from the rear, but they don't go to the front line, how can they direct? They're all a bunch of petty people, unfortunately, we didn't get Gurbuz together with them."

  "Muhammad, sometimes what you think in your heart can't be said out loud, or it will cause unnecessary trouble," Musaaf said. Facing this young man, Musaaf had always been very tolerant of him, just like he was his own brother.

  Muhammad rose on the battlefield of Afghanistan, and was not very familiar with the rear. Dealing with these issues requires skill.

  "I know," Muhammad said. "I'm just telling you, of course, to outsiders, it's also a pity for Gurbatdin, this person. He will definitely go to the Afghan Liberation Army."

  Unfortunately, Gurbuz went there and was unable to control the army. Only Muhammad, who also came from a military background with outstanding war achievements, could control such a powerful army.

  Muhammad is not worried.

  "Islamabad ordered that after discovering Soviet planes, they must be reported step by step. This time the rules were violated and took off directly to meet the enemy, and there was also an exchange of fire." Musharraf said: "Chief of Staff, I heard it was your order?"

  "Yes, it was me who gave the order." Muhammad said: "Our fighter jets should defend our airspace in Pakistan. If even Soviet planes fly over our heads and drop bombs, we can't fire back, what's the use of our air force? This time all the top leaders of the alliance were killed, if we don't have the result of shooting down one plane and damaging another, how can we explain to the people? How can we explain to Afghan refugees who trust us? How can we explain to the whole world?"

  Musharraf was getting a headache, this Muhammad, only knew how to fight, didn't know how to consider the whole situation, had no strategic vision.

  "Chief of Staff, do you know that this could lead to an escalation of the war." Musharraf said: "The Soviets invaded Afghanistan despite international opposition, in order to achieve Soviet strategic goals and gain access to the Indian Ocean!"

  It's obvious to anyone that the Soviet Union has a vast territory and great influence, but even now, the Soviets are still unable to show their presence in the Indian Ocean. Since the time of Tsarist Russia, they had planned to gain access to the south through Afghanistan. The Soviet Union inherited the mantle of Tsarist Russia, eyeing covetously, for them, stretching out into the Indian Ocean would achieve more strategic goals, allowing them to bypass Western encirclement in Western Europe and gain new channels.

  Now the Soviets have taken Afghanistan, but Afghanistan does not border the Indian Ocean. If the Soviets want to go south, they need to pass through Pakistan or Iran, that is to say, the Soviet Union needs to open another mouth from them.

  After the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, Pakistan has been trying its best to avoid direct combat with the Soviets. Once the war escalates, the Soviet iron tide may advance eastward and then southward, completely opening up the passage to the Indian Ocean.

  This is a strategic issue, Muhamed has become the chief of staff of the military region and must have such vision. Musharraf took good care of Muhamed, but now that we are talking business, there will be no sparing of feelings, whatever needs to be said will be said.

  "Yes, we want to make the situation bigger." Muhamed said: "The Soviet Union has been exhausted by its war potential in Afghanistan, if they really dare to come and fight us, they can only go back with a tail between their legs! We have an intact army, not as easily invaded as Afghanistan."

  This is indeed good news, but... does this sentence seem to have a hidden meaning?

  "The Soviets don't dare to launch a large-scale invasion against us, at most they will just increase the scale of air raids, which would be beneficial for us instead." Mhammad said: "It will strengthen our air force."

  Strengthen our air force? How is that possible! Once a large-scale aerial battle breaks out with the Soviets, our air power will be quickly depleted. When our air force suffers losses to a critical point, India in the east will definitely try to make some moves, and the memories of more than a decade of Indo-Pakistani wars are still deeply etched in Musharraf's mind.

  "Our air force is too outdated, most of the fighter jets are J-6," Muhammad said. "The latest fighter jet is F-16, but it has not been transported from the US yet, and pilots are still undergoing conversion training. Our air force equipment is at a great disadvantage, this is an opportunity."

  Muhammad is very confident.

  "Report, a group of planes has taken off from Bagram, mainly MiG-21 and MiG-23, flying eastward." A deputy officer rushed in to say.

  To prevent the Soviet surprise attack, apart from setting up lookout posts in their own mountainous areas, Muhammad set up several intelligence personnel on the outskirts of Bagram to monitor the Soviet air fleet. Unexpectedly, less than five hours after the aerial battle that morning, the Soviets were going to come and avenge themselves.

  In the aftermath, even before the Americans had begun their air raid, a video of the planes taking off was posted on the internet by some enthusiastic individuals, and it was even possible to calculate the exact timing of the American air raid based on the time. Having one or two lookouts stationed at key locations would be very useful.

  MiG-21 and MiG-23, mainly for air combat, apparently the Soviets wanted to retaliate against this morning's events, it can be imagined that Turkmenistan must have also taken off fighter jets, wanting to launch a sneak attack.

  "Notify Bishwas and Saman immediately that the Soviets are invading, all aircraft airborne, patrolling the border," Mhammad said.

  "Yes." The deputy officer wanted to go down, but was stopped by Musa: "Only take off two patrol planes for now, and the rest will be ready to take off at any time."

  The J-6's range is not high, and its combat radius is small. If it takes off now, it will waste precious fuel. When fighting the Soviets, it may be at a disadvantage due to insufficient oil. Musaev has considered many things.

  "No, all take off." Muhammad said: "Commander, believe me, as long as we all take off and get into combat formation, the Soviets will have to make a choice."

  Perhaps it was Muhammad's confidence that infected Musa'af, or perhaps Musa'af believed that Muhammad was right, and the orders were quickly given.

  The 15th Air Corps of Peshawar Military Region is under the jurisdiction of Peshawar Military Region, while the 23rd Air Corps of Samungli Air Base is not directly under their jurisdiction. They just received a friendly reminder. However, when the war bell rang, the 23rd Air Corps of Samungli still made its own choice, boarded the fighter jet and took off!

  The silver wings, dazzling in the sunlight, were fully fueled and loaded with AIM-9P missiles that had been re-inspected. The cannons of the J-6 fighter jets were also packed with shells. They took off from the airport runway one after another, formed a formation in the air, and began patrolling along the border line with a majestic momentum.

  Simultaneously, the situation was rapidly reported to Islamabad, Landikotal and Alwaridistrict's two long-range early warning radar stations which had detected those Soviet aircraft gathering north of Jalalabad, numbering over forty, seemingly poised to cross the border at any moment.

  Air force bases in the rear of Pakistan sounded alarms, and a large number of J-6 and Mirage 3 fighter jets took off from other airports and flew towards the western border.

  A large-scale air battle seems to be on the verge of breaking out, and once the fire is opened, both sides will definitely suffer losses in aircraft, and this will also announce that the Soviet Union and Pakistan have officially entered a state of war, bringing far-reaching and lasting impacts to both sides.

  At this time, Muhammad was sitting in front of Musaaf, calmly drinking a bowl of milk tea.
