Afghanistan Taliban basically controlled Panjshir in just one week and made a quick push! It can be divided into five rounds of evolution!
1 Opening: Two-sided attack
At the beginning of the battle, the Taliban were divided into two groups, one attacking the Shutul area that controls the southwest entrance of the Panjshir Valley, and the other attacking the Hawak Passage that controls the northwestern entrance of the valley. Both men and horses launched strong attacks, forming a start to a two-sided attack.

After that, the focus of the battle began in the zone between Shutur and Bazarak, forming a stalemate; southwest Shutur fought both sides A large number of troops were invested, but the Taliban had an advantage, and heavy troops were also invested in Hawak in the northwest. However, the anti-tower force was eventually broken due to insufficient strength. The middle game of the South and North was completed.
3 Decisive Game: Decisive Battle of Paryan
Paryan is a strategic location for entering the northeastern region of Panjshir from the Northwest Hawak. Paryan itself is the key northeast of Panjshir and the northeast barrier of Bazarak.
Therefore, the anti-tower forces regrouped in Paryan and the Taliban fought again, resolutely trying to prevent the opponent from controlling this important northeast area. The Taliban marched from Hawak to Paryan, constantly overcoming the roadblocks and ambushes set up by the anti-tower forces. After reaching Paryan, the two sides fell into fierce fighting. The Taliban were strong and the offensive was like a wave, and finally took control of Paryan. The anti-tower forces shattered away. After that, the Taliban quickly traversed the central part of Panjshir, through the iconic arch, and formed a siege with the people from the southwest against Bazarak. It can be seen that there is no more fierce battle after Paryan battle, so Paryan fights immediately and finally becomes a decisive game. The victory was won, and thereafter it was just a mopping up.
4 final game: occupy the provincial capital
After the decisive battle of Paryan, the Taliban only took about one day,Just enter the provincial capital Bazarak and occupy the provincial capital office building or the small Masood mansion. There were no major battles during this period, and the final game was completed smoothly.
