Chapter 514: Kabul Uprising

Chapter 514 Kabul Uprising

On the morning of July 4, 1879, the British Governor in Kabul, Afghanistan, was holding a rally in the square to promote the so-called friendly relations between the two countries. Many important officials from the puppet government were present.

“…Britain will bring the dawn of a civilized world to Afghanistan and take Afghanistan a big step forward in modernization…Britain is a friend of the Afghan people, and the friendship between our two countries is as solid as a rock and unbreakable.”

The British Governor in Kabul had just finished his speech. Members of the puppet government took the lead in applauding. The mood at the scene seemed to be quite harmonious. If it weren't for the numb eyes of most people in the square, those who didn't know would have thought that the relationship between the two countries was as good as the British said. friendly.

However, among the citizens of Kabul, there are many people who look fierce. The British Governor in Kabul has certainly noticed this. However, he is in a very good mood now and does not intend to argue with these unruly people. As long as the Afghan authorities are interested in the British, then Now that the overall situation has been decided, how much is the power of the people worth?

"Abraham, are you ready? We'll be responsible for causing a commotion and calling in the guards later, and you'll be responsible for opening the British guy's head."

“Leave it to me! Fight for God!”

An Afghan young man with firm eyes said.

Soon chaos broke out in the southwest corner of the square, which made the British Governor in Kabul very unhappy. He signaled the guards to calm down the troublemakers.

He walked towards the mayor of Kabul and said with a gloomy expression: "It seems that not all Afghans are our friends. Some hostile elements are trying to destroy the friendship between the two countries, but this stupid method is really unacceptable."

The mayor of Kabul heard the dissatisfaction of the British, but this incident really made him lose face. He said with a flattering look: "They are just some bugs hiding in the dark. They dare not come forward in person, so they encourage young people to cause trouble. , young people are always easily misled, but this does not hinder our friendship with your country. In the next few days, the government will send people to purge some hostile elements in Kabul. Don't worry, we will definitely make them pay the price. .”

As he said this, he thought that this operation should be carried out by one of his political opponents, and it seemed that he wanted to punish his "loyal" subordinates.

While the two were talking, a young man walked towards the two of them abnormally. At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the conflict in the southwest corner, and no one noticed Abraham.

When he was still more than ten meters away from the two of them, he seemed to feel something. The British Governor in Kabul suddenly became vigilant. He looked under the podium and found Abraham.

Abraham stood out from the crowd as he stood out, which set alarm bells ringing in the heart of the British Governor in Kabul.

Abraham also noticed the gaze of the British Governor in Kabul. The two looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment. Not good!

Abraham quickly took out a revolver from his robe, pointed it at the British Governor in Kabul and pulled the trigger.

And the British Governor in Kabul was not an ordinary person. After realizing the danger, he grabbed the mayor of Kabul beside him.

This made the mayor of Kabul, who had not noticed anything unusual, confused. Just when he was still thinking about what the British Governor in Kabul wanted to do.

Only heard a "bang" gunshot, someone was assassinating!

At this time, the British Governor in Kabul had pulled him in front of him, and with a flexible movement, he rushed to a safe position behind the mayor of Kabul.

Abraham's first shot directly hit the mayor of Kabul, who was pulled in front of the British Governor in Kabul to block the gun. Seeing that the British were not hit, Abraham did not hesitate and quickly found the location of the British Governor in Kabul. I want to send this British guy to hell.

The mayor of Kabul didn't have time to think too much. He passed out and lost consciousness. He probably won't wake up. The British guards and the Afghan soldiers who were on the scene to maintain order had returned to support at this time. They came to Abraham's side in a few steps, fell on Abraham, and suppressed Abraham to the ground.

Knowing that he was going to die, Abraham shouted with all his strength: "For freedom and for Afghanistan, long live God!"

The frightened British Governor in Kabul found that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat and his legs were so weak that he could not stand.

Several British guards rushed forward to support the Governor and helped him move to a safe location, fearing that there would be follow-up.

At this time, the Afghan resistance group who heard gunshots in the city knew that Abraham had taken action. Although they did not know whether the British man was dead or not, they still launched a rebellion.

At this time, gunshots broke out all over the city of Kabul, and the vigorous Kabul Uprising began!

The governor of Kabul, who had calmed down, immediately realized something was wrong when he heard the chaotic gunfire! He quickly organized an army to prepare for suppression.

The entire city of Kabul was in chaos. Hundreds of rebels ambushing in Kabul exchanged fire with British troops and puppet troops in the city. Resistance groups that had arrived outside the Afghan city a few days ago also began to attack the city.

The two sides coerced the people of Kabul and started a chaotic battle. However, the Afghan rebels in the city were weak after all, and were soon forced into residential areas. The two sides started fierce street fighting.

The Afghan resistance groups outside the city were also exchanging fire with the British on the city wall, but the British governor in Kabul escaped.

The British did not panic, and the backbone was still there, so the British Governor in Kabul quickly stabilized the morale of the military and launched a counterattack against the Afghan resistance organizations.

The fighting in the city lasted from ten o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, but sporadic gunshots could still be heard.

After the fighting in the city was resolved, the British could concentrate all their efforts on dealing with the Afghan resistance organizations outside the city. The Afghan resistance organizations looked at their fearless spirit and consumed many British troops. However, due to the lack of heavy weapons, the British in Kabul were There was nothing the garrison could do.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Ilya said: "It's better to retreat quickly! If we don't capture Kabul in time, and the British troops from other areas will come to support us later, we may be surrounded. We won't be able to leave even if we want to. Now it's four Oh, there are still a few hours until dark, let’s retreat quickly.”

Ilya considered that the British would probably not dare to pursue them after dark. After all, the British were unfamiliar with the place and did not dare to wander around, so it was better to retreat now.

Mulati said angrily: "What a pity for this opportunity!"

Ilya comforted: "We have already dealt a heavy blow to the British. It will be good to fight back next time. With us as a starting point, other armed forces will also take action. By then, it will be easier to liberate Afghanistan. What we need to do now is to preserve the security of the country." The main force of the army cannot be lost here."

Mulati is not a person who refuses to listen to advice. He also knows that if he does not withdraw, he will not be able to escape from behind. Anyway, it is impossible to capture Kabul today.

"let's go!"

There were more than 3,000 people when they came, but now there are only more than 1,000 left. Several hundred of them were lost in Kabul. After all, it is the capital of Afghanistan, so the number of British troops stationed is relatively large. With the assistance of the puppet army, the resistance organization can rely on such a small number of people to win. Going to Kabul is indeed unlikely.

If the Governor of Kabul died, there would still be some opportunities to deal with the leaderless British, but the Governor of Kabul escaped with his excellent escape ability.
