Given the power of their artillery, the possibility of destroying such fortifications is almost zero.
Unless they use high-end heavy ground penetrating bombs, then it would be possible to blow up the fortifications.
But this kind of sophisticated weaponry can only be mastered by the five permanent nations of the United Nations. Syria’s overall firepower, at best, is the level of the 1960s and 1970s, therefore it is impossible to obtain such equipment.
Moreover, even if they were able to obtain such equipment, they still cannot cause direct damage to Hamid’s troops.
Because, in Hamid’s frontal fortifications, there is not a single soldier.
Hamid resolutely implemented Charlie’s instructions. Since the opponent was fighting using infantry coordination, when their artillery stopped and the infantry began to charge, they would then mobilize their troops to fight.
At this moment, the soldiers were all hiding in the reverse slope tunnel. The enemy fired dozens of shells, and Hamid didn’t even have one injured soldier.
While the opposing forces were bombing, the infantry quickly advanced towards the base. More than an hour later, more than 5,000 troops were close and stopped at the foot of the mountain around two kilometers from the entrance of the base.
At this time, another round of bombing began!
The front slope of the entire mountain body had been blown up and was completely dark, and the small mountain top quickly became devastated.
This is the last round of shelling before the infantry charges. Once the infantry starts to charge, the shelling must stop, otherwise the large-scale shelling will easily injure their own troops.
However, the opposing commander did not know the situation inside the mountain.
Based on his previous experience, favonovel.com concluded that Hamid’s troops must have been severely devastated, and the defense forces must have been mostly wiped out, so favonovel.com immediately ordered the infantry to charge under the cover of armored vehicles!
Hamid’s base is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the north and south entrances are cut off, no personnel and vehicles can enter at all. Therefore, armored vehicles cannot directly enter. They must provide close range machine gun and artillery support.
In the permanent fortifications in front, Hamid watched the enemy’s armored vehicles grow closer, followed by thousands of hunched soldiers. The soldiers, relying on the cover of the armored vehicles, advanced unharmed to the foot of the mountain, and then, the opposing artillery fired again, launching a new round of shelling on the front slope of the high ground.
This round of shelling lasted about twenty minutes. When the shelling stopped, thousands of soldiers rushed out from behind the armored vehicles, shouting all the way to the high ground.
In the eyes of the opposing commander, as long as the frontal highland is taken, it is equivalent to taking Hamid’s entire base.
This kind of traditional ground battle is of great significance to the highlands. As long as the highlands are taken in a local war, it is equivalent to taking the initiative in the war, which is equivalent to forming a powerful fire deterrent to the surrounding area, and the highlands themselves are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Five thousand people may not be able to attack the high ground where five hundred people are stationed.
When defending, the side occupying the high ground will defend their area easily, while the enemy attacking from below has difficulty attacking.
When attacking, the side occupying the high ground initiates a charge like smashing bamboo, while the enemy defending at the low position is almost completely insecure. It is very difficult for them to even retreat because their entire back is exposed to the opponent.
Therefore, the opposing commander felt that no matter how many troops Hamid still has, as long as favonovel.com takes the high ground and then launches a charge from the high ground to the internal base, the battle can be won!
When thousands of soldiers swarmed up, Hamid’s soldiers immediately began to enter the permanent fortifications of the front slope from the reverse slope tunnel.
After thousands of soldiers from the other side had also completely entered the range of Hamid’s permanent fortifications, Hamid suddenly ordered by radio, “Fire!”
