At this moment, Hamid's base far away in the mountains of Syria was busy and tense.
All soldiers faced the coming war as quickly as possible under the rising sun.
Hamid's few armed helicopters had all taken off and began to urgently transfer some of the more important equipment and supplies inside the base to the reverse slope tunnel halfway up the mountain.
The soldiers also began to enter the tunnel in an orderly manner under the command of officers at all levels, and the construction teams and soldiers from the engineering battalion that had just been under construction also began to install all the equipment as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the scouts on the front line sent back news that the opponent was not moving very fast.
Although the armored vehicles can maneuver quickly, most of the thousands of soldiers can only rely on walking.
Moreover, the truck was originally loaded with a large amount of supplies, and it also towed a towed artillery behind it. On such a winding mountain road, the speed of movement was not much faster than running.
This made Hamid even more relieved.
The opponent is coming fiercely, but also quite slowly.
Or maybe in the eyes of the other party, you are already the meat of their mouth, so the other party is not in a hurry at all.
And the other side is not afraid of him escaping at all, because the other side's purpose is to destroy its base and eliminate his troops as much as possible. As for his own life and death, it doesn't matter.
For opposition forces like Hamid, the base is everything to them. Only with the base can they have a foundation to settle down and live. Once they lose the protection of the base, they will be like a lost dog and can only be beaten passively.
Moreover, if Hamid's soldiers are wiped out to 77 or 88, then Hamid will have no chance of making a comeback. At that time, he can only hide in Tibet, exhausted, and will not be able to launch any counterattack.
or pose any threat.
Therefore, this crusade force is not in a hurry. They also know that Hamid has discovered them, but they don't care at all.
But what they don't know is that the Hamid now is no longer the Hamid before.
Now Hamid has the strength to resist them!
The other party's arrogance gave Hamid more than an hour of breathing space.
More than an hour later, everyone in the base retreated into the reverse slope tunnel.
All the houses inside the base have been turned into decorations, and all the valuable and useful things inside have been taken away.
Some large-scale power generation equipment that had no time to be dismantled was quickly lifted by a helicopter in an orderly manner and sent into the reverse slope tunnel because of more than an hour. There were also several pieces of engineering equipment that could not be put in, so they were directly lifted.
The helicopter flew northward away from the base.
Hamid's soldiers were now methodically checking their guns and ammunition in the reverse slope tunnel, and were ready to attack at any time.
Everything was ready, and the frontline scouts sent back the latest information. The opponent's army had stopped at a flat area twenty kilometers away in a straight line. At the same time, the opponent's more than thirty towed artillery also began to deploy on the spot.
Hamid knew very well that this should be the artillery position chosen by the opponent. After they deployed the artillery and prepared for the bombardment, the first round of bombardment would begin.
While the artillery was deploying, the enemy left more than 2,000 soldiers to defend the artillery position, and the remaining 5,000 infantrymen immediately continued to advance towards Hamid's base under the guidance of armored vehicles!
After hearing the news, Hamid felt excited and thought to himself: "The infantry is indeed continuing to approach me! They must be preparing to bombard me with artillery first. When the bombardment is over, these more than 5,000 infantry troops will approach the city.
At that time, we should launch a charge! This should be the infantry-artillery coordination tactic that brother Ye Chen mentioned. Well, let’s see how I can push back your infantry by then!”
Immediately, he immediately ordered: "I am giving an order to everyone to prepare for the bombardment! Everyone must wear a helmet, cover their ears, and never leave the tunnel. At the same time, give the order and never lean on the tunnel wall.
It is best to lie down on the ground, and it would be better if there is something soft to cushion it, which can effectively alleviate the shock damage caused by close-range shelling!"
Most of the time, artillery's damage to the human body relies on shrapnel from explosions, rocks exploded by explosions, or any other hard objects exploded by explosions.
However, the shock waves generated when artillery explodes can also cause huge harm to the human body. If the distance is close enough, it may shatter a person's internal organs.
Although Hamid does not have any grand strategic thinking, he has been on the battlefield all the way to where he is today, so he has a lot of practical experience.
His orders were passed from level to level, and the soldiers in each tunnel received his orders.
As a result, many people began to use local materials and find some soft things to spread on the ground.
Many soldiers went to the entrance of the tunnel to get a large amount of soft soil. Su Shoudao, who was extremely nervous, had not figured out what these people were doing, but he heard the soldier who was specially guarding him shout: "What are you still doing? Go out and get some soil."
Come in and lay down under you, otherwise if a cannonball explodes in front of you, you will be shocked to the point of internal bleeding!"
When Su Shoudao heard this, he asked in a panic: "Is there really going to be a war? Can you talk to Commander Hamid and ask him to send a helicopter to take me away first? I have never been in a war.
There's no use staying here."
The soldier said coldly: "The helicopter has passed by a long time ago. You can't go anywhere now. If you don't want to die, go get some soil quickly. If you want to try your luck, just stay here and don't do anything else."
Dry."
When Su Shoudao heard this, he didn't dare to show off anymore.
So while cursing Ye Chen in the most vicious language, he reluctantly followed the others to prepare soil outside the cave entrance.
Su Shoudao used an empty diesel engine lubricating oil barrel and shoveled a bucket of dirt with great effort. As soon as he lifted it up and was about to go back, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air outside.
Before he could figure out what the sound was, deafening explosions sounded one after another!
The bombardment has begun!
At this moment, the whole mountain seemed to be shaking.
The base in the valley outside the cave entrance was suddenly engulfed in a sea of fire.
Su Shoudao screamed loudly in fright. This was the first time for him to have close contact with war in his life.
He felt as if his ears had been deafened. In addition to the tinnitus, his eardrums were also very painful. The internal organs in his body felt as if they had just been beaten. It was as uncomfortable as the pain.
The soldiers responsible for guarding him quickly dragged him into the tunnel, and then the second round of shells roared towards him!
The target of this second round of artillery shells is still the base in the valley, and deafening explosions are heard one after another!
Su Shoudao quickly covered his ears with both hands and squatted on the ground shivering.
The other soldiers had long been prepared to defend against the shock of the explosion.
Round after round of cannonballs tilted down, without any impact on these soldiers.
On the contrary, as the shelling lasted longer and longer, the soldiers had a strong sense of security and superiority.
Because they witnessed with their own eyes the huge role played by anti-slope fortifications in responding to shelling.
Hiding in such a strong fortification to face the bombardment felt like hiding in an armored vehicle and being shot by the indigenous people with bows and arrows. Instead of feeling any fear deep in their hearts, the soldiers had a psychological fear of the enemy.
A sense of superiority that is almost ridiculing!
It can be said that the more artillery shells fired by the enemy, the higher the morale of Hamid's tribe will be!
