Ye Chen and Faisal passed through the central square together, and the roar of the diesel generator in his ears became more and more deafening.
Under such a high mechanical noise, it is difficult for ordinary people to talk, so many other sounds around them are covered up. This is a good thing for Ye Chen, even if what happens in the rescue and pursuit later.
Unexpectedly, it is difficult for people outside to discover someone yelling.
So Ye Chen asked Faisal beside him: "How long does the diesel generator sets here usually work?"
Faisal hurriedly said respectfully: "Since the government forces cut off the power supply here, all our electricity is supplied by a 50-kilowatt diesel generator set, and it also has a set of power storage equipment.
.”
"Because the overall electricity consumption during the day is small, we generally do not develop motors during the day. We use power storage equipment to ensure that necessary equipment operates normally during the day. Only after dark will the power generator set be turned on, mainly to supply lighting.
Electrical equipment, and then charge the power storage equipment.”
"It opened early today, mainly because the light on rainy days is too poor."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "You have made the place brightly lit tonight, aren't you afraid that the government forces will send planes to bomb?"
Faisal explained: "In Syria, whether it is the government forces, the opposition, or the Kurdish forces, 90% of the wars are ground wars, and the planes in the hands of the government forces have been beaten long ago.
The remaining small number of old fighter jets are guarding Damascus and the southern province of Dela, and we are not afraid to send out wars. Moreover, there are a large number of civilians here. If they send planes to attack indiscriminately, they will definitely arouse public anger.
It will be more beneficial to our opposition at that time."
Ye Chen nodded gently.
In his understanding, war is a modern war based on the Gulf War.
The core of modern warfare is the air force as the main body, and the navy and the army as the auxiliary.
Just like the United States is fighting Iraq, the two armies are fighting, and there is no need to engage in close combat. First, fighter jets are used to fight air battles and seize air supremacy. Then use bombers to carry precisely guided bombs to destroy the enemy's key defense forces and military industries one by one, and wait for the other side.
After being completely paralyzed, a large number of ground troops rushed in and could directly occupy it.
However, it seems that in places like Syria, the way of war is basically the same as that in World War II. The two armies mainly rely on ground forces to fight head-on, and the influence of the air force can play is very small.
Ye Chen remembered that Faisal was the captain of the armored brigade, so he asked him: "Faisal, since 90% of the wars here are ground wars, then your armored brigade must have an extraordinary identity and status, right?
”
Faisal nodded and said truthfully: "Our two most important forces are the armored brigade and the other is the flight brigade. However, the flight brigade only has four armed helicopters, so the main combat power depends on my armored brigade."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Faisal, since you can be the captain of the armored brigade, then your status ranking should be relatively high in this armed force?"
Faisal hurriedly said: "Actually, my armored brigade was completely commanded and dispatched by the commander in wartime. The reason why I can be the captain is because I know more about tanks, so I act as an instructor.
The role doesn’t have much real power.”
Ye Chen nodded slightly. Since the armored brigade is the core combat power here, it is reasonable to directly be ordered and dispatched by the commander.
Under the leadership of Faisal, Ye Chen and him came to a courtyard wall made of loess. At this time, the yard was full of people, and communication between people was basically done by shouting loudly.
Moreover, Ye Chen found that the languages they spoke were different. Some spoke English, some spoke French, and some spoke some languages that he did not understand at all, which should be Arabic.
Ye Chen asked Faisal: "Do you don't have a unified language here?"
Faisal shook his head: "It should be said that the unified language should be Arabic, but the composition of our opposition soldiers is relatively complicated, so many of us don't speak Arabic."
"Some of these people have lived in other countries since childhood, and some have lived in former colonial areas. They have been in English or French since their novels, so the language between them is not completely smooth."
"Just like myself, I actually went to the United States with my parents at a very young age, and I also got a green card. I served in the US Army for three years. I only responded to the call a few years ago and came back to join the Free Army, so my English basics
It's very bad, and you can only communicate in English."
Ye Chen nodded. This multilingual situation is like India. A considerable number of Indians do not speak Hindi. Even every state in India has its own official language, and it was once a colony of Britain.
, so English is also one of the official languages.
However, this kind of linguistic confusion is relatively friendly to him. The more chaotic the language, the easier it is for him to get involved.
So he said to Faisal: "After entering later, remember to act according to the opportunity and don't let others see the clues."
Faisal hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, I will do my best!"
Ye Chen nodded, pointed to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Get in!"
"good!"
Faisal stepped forward and pushed open the gate.
At this time, in the yard, more than a dozen soldiers carrying AK47 were surrounding a bonfire to barbecue for heating. On the bonfire, they were wearing two lamb legs with wooden sticks. At this time, the roast was so greasy that it was full of oil.
Ye Chen followed Faisal in, and a soldier recognized Faisal and blurted out: "Captain Faisal, do you want to have some barbecue? Ansala's mother also made some pita cakes, and it will be fine soon.
Now.”
Faisal waved his hand: "I won't eat anymore. I'm here to check the hostages."
When the man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Captain Faisal, are you interested in those women, right? But I have to make it clear to you that the commander has given the order without his permission.
No one can do anything nonsense!”
Faisal immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense! I just came over to see the situation and report to the commander when I went back, so why don't I open the entrance to the cellar!"
The man nodded quickly, turned around and greeted a soldier, leaned over and turned over a heavy wooden board from the ground. Then, a staircase made of loess appeared under the wooden board. The man respectfully said to Faisal:
"Captain Faisal, please come in!"
Faisal nodded with satisfaction and walked to the entrance with Ye Chen. The man took out a flashlight and turned it on, he said attentively: "Captain Faisal, there is no light on the stairs, it is darker. I am leading the way in front.
, be careful at your feet!”
Faisal glanced at Ye Chen, saw Ye Chen nodding quietly at him, and agreed and said, "Okay, you can lead the way in front!"
