Chapter: 3267
Hamid asked: "What is coordinated artillery?"
Hamid agreed and said: "You're right, I think they'll definitely try to give me a concentrated bombardment first!"
Ye Chen replied: "Don't worry about it, because your anti-slope trenches have already been built. Now, just hurry up and move all your most valuable personnel, supplies, and equipment over to the anti-slope trenches. Then, have someone ready to take away those few precious armed helicopters, since they won't be able to play a big role with so many enemy soldiers around. Instead, have them fly out several hundred kilometers away, find a deserted valley or a mountain plain, and land there. Otherwise, once the enemy starts bombarding, your helicopters will likely get wiped out."
"Ah ha!" Hamid came back to his senses immediately, and then gave orders to his deputy: "Quickly prepare the helicopter pilots, head north, fly 100 kilometers away, and find a place to hide!"
It's no wonder that Hamid was in a state of panic. Although he had been fighting against government forces for a long time, he had never experienced a large-scale battle before. Therefore, his overall perspective wasn't very strong, only reaching the level of a small guerrilla leader.
On the other hand, Ye Chen, who had not fought before but was more comprehensive in considering things, could maintain complete calmness and carefully analyze the situation to provide more reasonable advice.
Ye Chen continued: "I have some impression about your terrain. The surrounding area is all hills and mountain roads, winding and treacherous. So, I don't think the enemy will push forward too quickly. And you shouldn't be too hasty either, letting the helicopters leave immediately."
As he spoke, Ye Chen also advised: "You can use the helicopters to help transport some precious heavy equipment over to your anti-slope trenches right now, while simultaneously having your frontline scouts closely monitor the enemy's movements. When they stop moving and start deploying artillery, that's when you should have the helicopters leave too - it will be in time."

"It's true indeed."
After listening to Ye Chen's words, Hamid slightly calmed down, awkwardly saying: "Brother, don't laugh at me, I've never seen such a big battle since I joined the revolution, and I'm really nervous......"
"Don't be nervous." Ye Chen consoled: "This kind of thing will happen to anyone's head, what you need to do now is not to get your troops mixed up."
As he spoke, Ye Chen also said: "I think the enemy's strategic intention is very simple. They know your base location, know that your base can't escape, so they'll definitely launch a full-scale artillery attack on your base during this time, and you should just wait patiently!"
"If the enemy shoots at you, absolutely don't use fire to retaliate, nor send out your armed helicopters or elite troops to try to counterattack or conduct a surprise attack!"
"What's that?" Hamid exclaimed: "I was going to say, I plan to quickly dispatch an elite team of 350 people right now and sneak over there, set up ambushes, and wait for them to get caught off guard!"
"How can they possibly let you do that so easily?" Ye Chen exclaimed: "You don't need to think about it. They must be on alert against your plan! You forgot, they have 8,000 people, and can randomly deploy 2,000 people around the artillery positions. If you send out 350 people, the enemy can easily encircle them! By that time, those people will definitely not return!"
"Don't be nervous," Hamid exclaimed, "I was being impulsive... I forgot..."
At this moment, Ye Chen continued to caution: "You need to remember one thing - as long as the enemy commander can command an 8,000-man troop, they will definitely not make a stupid mistake. They may make a tactical error, but they won't make a principle-based mistake. Protecting artillery and logistics is a basic principle that all commanders understand. They will absolutely not leave you with a chance to launch a surprise attack."
"Right," Hamid said seriously: "If I had several dozen cannons, I would also prioritize defending against artillery, it's impossible to only focus on the front lines while neglecting the rear, after all, this is the key to firepower suppression."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "If he wants to bomb, just let him. No matter how he bombs, you don't need to worry about anything!"
After a pause, Ye Chen continued: "He hasn't even opened up 50-60 trucks yet? These trucks are not carrying only ammunition; they also have food, medicine, fuel, and other supplies. Even if he has 30 cannons per truck, or even if all 30 cannons are used up, it's impossible to blow your stone mountain away by several feet. So you don't need to worry about anything."
"If he is just bombarding, everyone can hide in the reverse slope trenches. At that point, basically, no one will be killed or injured due to bombardment. After all the cannons are fired, they'll only have infantry left. When that happens, your 800-person team can defend against it and you'll definitely emerge victorious!" JrNovels.com
