Chapter: 3269

Meanwhile, scouts on the front line reported that the enemy's movement speed was not particularly fast.

Armored vehicles could move quickly, but most of the thousands of soldiers had to rely on foot travel.

Furthermore, trucks were loaded with a large amount of supplies, followed by towed cannons, and moving at a pace only slightly faster than running on this winding mountain road.

This allowed Hamid to let out a sigh of relief.

Let me know if you need anything else!

The enemy's approach was vigorous, but their pace was also quite slow.

It's also possible that in the eyes of the enemy, they themselves had already become their meat, so the enemy didn't hurry at all.

Moreover, the enemy wasn't afraid of them escaping, because their goal was to destroy their base and annihilate their troops, and as for their own life or death, it didn't matter.

For a guerrilla force like Hamid's, their base is everything. With their base, they can have a fundamental place to settle down and live; once they lose the protection of their base, they will be like a dog without a home, only able to take blows passively.

And if they were to eliminate all of Hamid's soldiers, seven, eight, nine, then Hamid would have no possibility of turning the tables. By that time, he could only hide and scurry about, exhausted from fleeing, with absolutely no ability to launch a counterattack or bring any threat.

So this punitive force wasn't in a hurry either; they knew that Hamid had already discovered himself, but they simply didn't care.

But they didn't know that the current Hamid was not the same as before.

The current Hamid has developed the ability to resist them!

Their arrogance gave Hamid an extra hour of breathing room.

One hour later, everyone in this base retreated to the trench dug at an angle.

All houses inside the base became setting arrangements, and all valuable and useful items were taken away.

Some large-scale power generation equipment that couldn't be disassembled in time was lifted by helicopter and sent to the angled trench for safekeeping. A few engineering equipment were too big to fit into the trench, so they were carried away by helicopter heading north from the base.

Hamid's soldiers were now checking their firearms and ammunition in the angled trench, preparing to launch a counterattack at any moment.

Everything was ready, and the front-line scouts reported back with the latest intel. The enemy had set up camp about 20 kilometers away, straight ahead, and were starting to deploy their artillery.

Hamid knew this must be the enemy's artillery position. After they finished deploying and preparing for an attack, the first wave of cannon fire would begin.

As the artillery was being deployed, the enemy left behind over two thousand soldiers to defend the artillery position, while the remaining five thousand infantry troops immediately continued their advance towards Hamid's base under armored vehicle cover!

Hamid heard this news and his heart jumped with excitement. He thought to himself: "The infantry is indeed closing in! They must be preparing to use their artillery against me first, and then launch a charge when the cannon fire ends. This must be what Elder Ye said was the coordinated attack strategy - nice, let's see how I'll defeat your infantry when the time comes!"

He immediately ordered everyone to get ready for the cannon fire: "Tell everyone to put on helmets, cover their ears, and make sure not to leave the trench. At the same time, remind them that if they're using something soft as a pillow, it's better to lie down - this will effectively reduce the damage from shockwaves caused by near-distance artillery fire!"

Most of the time, artillery damage to human bodies relies on shrapnel from explosions or rocks blasted apart, or other hard objects shattered by explosive blasts.

However, the vibrations produced by artillery explosions can also cause massive harm to human bodies. If the distance is close enough, it could even shake apart someone's internal organs. JrNovels.com
