At this moment, Hamid, wearing a camouflage military uniform, was standing in the highland fortification on the southernmost side of the base, using a tripod-type high-power telescope to look south.
Thirty kilometers is actually very far away, so ordinary telescopes can't see it at all. This kind of high-power telescope can only see roughly. And if the distance is too far, the lens distortion will be serious, making it very uncomfortable to see things.
However, he still saw the army advancing towards him in the distance from the field of view of the telescope.
He was a little confused. Haven't the government troops been fighting the relatively large-scale rebel forces recently? Why did they free up their hands and come to his side so quickly?
So, he immediately ordered his adjutant: "Go, quickly contact the secret sentry in front, and prepare to launch the drone immediately. Tell me their number of people and equipment within five minutes!"
"Okay Commander!"
Hamid's adjutant immediately turned around and left, running inside to use the radio to contact the secret sentry in front.
Soon, the secret whistle immediately released several civilian aerial photography drones purchased from China.
This kind of ordinary drone, which only sells for a few thousand yuan in China, is nothing more than a toy for photography enthusiasts and aerial photography enthusiasts in China, but in the Middle East, this thing has a very powerful strategic role.
First of all, it flies high. After slight modification, it can fly to a height of one or two thousand meters. The image transmission can reach nearly ten kilometers in the open area, and the flight speed can reach sixty or seventy kilometers per hour. The key is that the original fuselage only needs
It is as big as a palm and can fly up to hundreds or thousands of meters in the sky. It is invisible to the naked eye and its flight noise cannot be heard. It is perfect for battlefield reconnaissance.
If you are facing modern troops with advanced equipment, this thing will definitely be useless. It will be discovered and beaten down before it even goes up.
But if you are facing an ordinary motorized unit, the opponent will be really hard to defend against.
Therefore, this kind of drone is widely used in the military field in the Middle East.
As soon as several drones took to the sky, the size of the enemy army was quickly detected.
The adjutant reported to Hamid: "Commander. The size of the opponent's army is about 8,000 people, with ten armored vehicles, thirty-six towed howitzers, and about sixty various transport trucks. The scouts in front
Said, it looks like it should be a Russian-made 152mm towed howitzer."
"Damn it!" Hamid cursed: "It's the firepower of two artillery battalions! What do they want to do? Do they want to blow us up?!"
Just as he was talking, the deputy commander hurried in and said breathlessly: "Commander, I just got the news that the government army hired 10,000 mercenaries from an overseas mercenary group called Wanlongdian. It is said that this
Ten Thousand Mercenaries are extremely powerful and have conquered many anti-government forces one after another! Including Hafez, who used to have a good relationship with us. He was kidnapped by the company two nights ago!"
Hamid was immediately stunned: "What?! Hafiz was betrayed by a gang? Why have I never heard of this?!"
The deputy commander said awkwardly: "Everyone is scattered in the ravine, and the information is not flowing smoothly. Moreover, we are working hard on infrastructure construction recently. How can we have time to care about outside matters..."
Hamid asked hurriedly: "What is the origin of that Wanlong Palace?"
The deputy commander explained: "Wanlongdian is a non-governmental mercenary organization that has emerged in recent years. They have multiple mercenary training bases all over the world. They are all present in the Middle East, Africa, South America and other relatively turbulent places.
Traces, they have developed rapidly in the past few years, with 50,000 to 60,000 registered mercenaries under their command, and their overall strength has now ranked among the top five mercenary organizations in the world!"
In this world, not every country or region is as peaceful and prosperous as China. Many areas are at war all year round, so mercenaries are everywhere in such places.
Most mercenaries are a group of desperadoes without any sense of justice. They only serve money and will work for whoever pays them. Some mercenaries survive by relying on certain countries. For example, the famous American Black Water
, they train a large number of mercenaries to specifically serve the US government. Almost all US military operations in the Middle East are inseparable from the participation of Blackwater mercenaries, and some things that are inconvenient for the government to do are done by them.
And this Ten Thousand Dragons Palace belongs to the first type.
After hearing the introduction of Wanlong Palace, Hamid felt dizzy and blurted out: "Hiring ten thousand mercenaries from Wanlong Palace will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars every day, right?"
The deputy commander hurriedly said: "Commander, the price of Wanlong Palace is extremely high. Even the ordinary mercenaries under their command cost one or two thousand US dollars a day. The price for officers is even higher, some of which cost more than tens of thousands of US dollars a day. It is said that the prices of their mercenaries are even higher.
Any one of the four war kings would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day..."
Hamid asked dumbfounded: "Real or fake? Why is it so expensive?!"
The deputy commander explained: "The reason why Wanlong Palace has been able to rise in recent years is its super combat effectiveness. Their mercenaries are well-trained, especially the core members. They are all top-notch soldiers, whether they are single
Whether it is their combat capabilities or their ability to coordinate operations as a whole, they are all leaders among mercenaries, but the only problem is that the price is high, and ordinary people can’t afford them.”
Hamid frowned and said: "According to this calculation, the cost of these 10,000 mercenaries per day must be more than 20 million US dollars?!"
"Yes." The deputy commander wiped his sweat and said nervously: "I also received news. This time one of the four war kings of Wanlong Palace has come! It is said that this person can fight one against a hundred on the battlefield!"
Hamid couldn't help but tremble and blurted out: "I don't fucking understand. Where did the government army get the money to hire so many mercenaries?"
The deputy commander explained: "The government forces do not have so much money, but they are willing to allocate a piece of land in Syria to Wanlong Temple to build a base for Wanlong Temple after wiping out the anti-government armed forces. That's why Wanlong Temple is so active."
"Damn...it's over..." Hamid was filled with despair and completely panicked.
He thought to himself: "If this information is true, then there must be thousands of mercenaries from Wanlong Palace in the army thirty kilometers away..."
"Now I have only a few thousand men in total, and their training level is far inferior to that of the top mercenaries. Moreover, the opponent has almost 8,000 men, and there are so many armored vehicles and towed artillery. Regardless of the number of soldiers and the level of training,
Judging from the weapons and equipment, my team does not have any advantage. If we really fight now, there is basically no chance of winning..."
Hamid, who was extremely nervous, suddenly thought of Ye Chen, so he immediately took out his satellite phone and called Ye Chen!
At this time, Ye Chen had just picked up Xiao Churan who had come out of the Song Group and was on his way to send her to the company.
When he suddenly received a call from Hamid, he was also very surprised, so he asked: "Brother, why did you call me all of a sudden?"
Hamid said with a trembling voice: "Brother Ye, I'm not going to die soon. If that Su Shoudao dies here, don't blame me!"
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked: "What happened?!"
Hamid sighed: "The government army hired a group of well-trained mercenaries from overseas. In a short period of time, they have destroyed many armed forces with more strength than me. Now there is an army of more than 8,000 people only a few meters away from me."
It’s less than thirty kilometers away, I’m afraid I won’t be able to carry it this time!”
