Little did Hamid's enemies know that at this time, not only were most of Hamid's troops not killed by the shelling, but they became even more valiant amid the sound of the cannons.
At this time, Hamid saw that the shelling had little effect on the anti-slope fortifications, and his confidence doubled.
While listening to the rumbling sound of artillery outside, he sighed in his heart: "If Brother Ye hadn't taught me this anti-slope tactic, the lives of thousands of my people would have been taken care of in the first two rounds of shelling.
Clean!"
"The "Shangganling" that Brother Ye asked me to watch is indeed a textbook classic battle. The great volunteers were able to win the final victory in this battle despite the bombing of millions of American artillery shells, not only because of their bravery and skill in fighting, but also because of their bravery and ability.
Because they have superior strategic vision and advanced tactical arrangements!"
"When I survive this battle, I will dig up all the surrounding mountains and build an impregnable super fortress!"
At this time, the shelling by government forces continued.
This time they carried tens of thousands of rounds of artillery shells and more than 30 guns. It would not be a problem to fire hundreds of rounds.
Moreover, their infantry was still advancing, so during this period, the artillery bombardment continued at intervals of one round every three minutes.
After twenty rounds of shelling, most of the bases in the valley had been razed to the ground, with only a few houses still standing alone.
Some soldiers carefully came to the entrance of the tunnel to observe the damage to the base.
After discovering that the base had been razed to the ground, many people had red eyes, clenched their fists, and gritted their teeth, their hearts filled with hatred.
Maybe for Su Shoudao, that dilapidated courtyard was a nightmare and hell, but for these soldiers, those courtyards and houses were their homes.
And now, their home has been blown up by the enemy!
Just when many soldiers were angry and wanted revenge, a new round of shelling came again!
This time, the cannonball did not fall into the almost flattened base, but fell directly on the outside of the mountain on the south side of the base, which is the front slope of the mountain.
Because, in the other party's conventional understanding, they felt that most of Hamid's soldiers, food, ammunition and other supplies must be placed in the base, so the previous shelling for such a long time was to completely destroy their base and supplies.
,equipment.
And they also knew that the main defense force of the Hamid base must be concentrated on the positive slope of the mountain, so after destroying the base, they began to destroy the defensive positions.
They believed that as long as they used powerful firepower to destroy all his defenses on the front slope, tanks and infantry would be able to drive straight in!
In this way, the infantry basically only needs to come over and sweep away the enemy, and the war will be basically over.
However, what they didn't know was that Hamid's armed forces were very different from other armed forces of the same type.
Before meeting Ye Chen, Hamid's base defense consisted of digging some foxholes on the slope of the mountain, then building shooting stacks with stones, and then using hay to make a roof for concealment.
This kind of fortification is very simple. If you are facing an enemy infantry charge at a high place, you will have no problem dealing with the infantry's AK47 bullets, and it does have a very big advantage.
However, if the opponent engages in suppressive fire and uses mortars or RPG rocket launchers, this kind of foxhole will basically look like paper, and it is simply the best grave for soldiers.
Now the government forces are intensively bombing the front slope in order to quickly disintegrate Hamid's defense force.
However, they never dreamed that Hamid had just completely transformed the frontal defenses.
The current permanent fortification is dug out of the rocky mountain, and at the same time, it is anchored and reinforced with multiple layers of reinforced concrete inside. The construction technology is the same as that of the tunnel, and it is extremely strong.
With the power of their towed artillery fire, the possibility of blowing up such a fortification is almost zero.
Unless high-end heavy ground-penetrating bombs are used, it is possible to blow up the fortifications.
However, such sophisticated weapons can only be mastered by the five permanent members of the United Nations. Syria's overall firepower level is at best the level of the 1960s and 1970s, and it is simply impossible to obtain such equipment.
Moreover, even if they had such equipment, they would not be able to cause direct damage to Hamid's troops.
Because, there is not a single soldier in Hamid's frontal fortifications.
Hamid resolutely implemented Ye Chen's instructions. Since the opponent was fighting with infantry and artillery coordination, when the artillery stopped, the infantry began to charge, and then mobilized the troops to defend.
At this moment, the soldiers were all safely hiding in the reverse slope tunnel at the back. The enemy's shells fired dozens of rounds, and not even a single one on Hamid's side was injured.
The opponent's artillery bombed while the infantry quickly advanced towards the base. More than an hour later, more than 5,000 troops were close at hand and stopped at the foot of the mountain about two thousand meters away from the entrance of the base.
At this time, another round of bombing began!
The entire front slope of the mountain had been blown into darkness, and the small hilltop was soon devastated.
This is the last round of artillery fire before the infantry charge. Once the infantry begins to charge, the artillery fire must stop, otherwise the large-area artillery fire will easily injure one's own people.
However, the opponent's commander did not know the situation inside the mountain.
Based on his past experience, he concluded that Hamid's troops must have been seriously reduced in number and most of their defenses must have been destroyed, so he immediately ordered the infantry to charge under the cover of armored vehicles!
Hamid's base is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the north and south entrances are artificially cut off, no personnel or vehicles can enter at all. Therefore, armored vehicles cannot rush in directly. The only thing they can do is to cover the infantry to charge to the high ground. At the same time,
Provide close range machine gun and artillery support.
In the permanent fortification on the front, Hamid watched the opponent's armored vehicles roaring closer and closer, followed by thousands of hunched soldiers. The soldiers relied on the cover of the armored vehicles to advance to the foot of the mountain safely, and then
, the opponent's artillery fired again, launching a new round of shelling on the positive slope of the high ground.
This round of shelling lasted for twenty minutes in total. Twenty minutes later, as soon as the shelling stopped, thousands of soldiers rushed out from behind the armored vehicles and rushed towards the high ground, shouting to kill.
In the eyes of the opposing commander, as long as he captures the frontal high ground, it is equivalent to capturing the entire Hamid base.
In this traditional ground battle, high ground is of great significance. As long as the high ground is captured in a local war, it is equivalent to taking the war initiative in this area, which is equivalent to forming a strong firepower deterrent to the surroundings, and the high ground itself
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even a high ground garrisoned by 500 people may not be defeated by a charge of 5,000 people.
When defending, the party occupying the high ground is easy to defend, but the enemy attacking from the low ground is difficult to attack.
When attacking, the party occupying the high ground launches an unstoppable charge, while the enemy defending the lower ground is almost invincible. Even retreat is very difficult because the entire back will be exposed to the opponent.
Therefore, the opponent's commander felt that no matter how many troops Hamid still had, as long as he captured the high ground and then launched a charge from the high ground to the internal base, the battle could be solved in one go!
When thousands of soldiers swarmed up, Hamid's soldiers immediately began to enter the permanent fortifications on the front slope from the reverse slope tunnel.
After thousands of soldiers from the other side had completely entered the fire range of Hamid's permanent fortifications, Hamid suddenly ordered over the radio: "Fire!"
