Chapter: 3272

Currently, the eternal works are excavated inside the rocky mountain body and simultaneously use steel rebar reinforced concrete to do multiple-layer anchoring and reinforcement, with construction techniques similar to tunnels, extremely high solidity.

With such towed artillery firepower, it's almost zero possibility of blasting this kind of work.

Unless using high-end heavy-penetration bombs, there is only a possibility of blasting the works.

However, such high-tech weapons are only accessible to the five permanent members of the United Nations, and Syria's overall firepower level is at most that of the 1960s-1970s, impossible to get this kind of equipment.

Moreover, even if they have this kind of equipment, they cannot cause direct killing damage to Hamid's troops.

Because there are no soldiers in Hamid's front defense works.

Hamid strictly follows Ye Cheng's order, since the enemy is launching a coordinated artillery and infantry attack. As soon as the artillery stops firing and the infantry starts charging forward, he will adjust the troops to launch a counterattack.

Right now, all the soldiers are safely hiding in the reverse-slope trenches behind them, with no one injured after being hit by enemy shells for dozens of rounds.

Meanwhile, the enemy's artillery is bombarding Hamid's side, and their infantry is rapidly advancing towards the base. About an hour later, over 5,000 troops have assembled near the entrance to the base, about 2,000 meters away from the foot of a mountain.

At this moment, another round of shelling started!

The entire slope has been blasted black, with small hills quickly becoming pockmarked.

This is the last round of artillery fire before the infantry charges, and once the infantry starts charging, the artillery fire must stop. Otherwise, it's easy to cause unnecessary casualties among their own troops.

However, the enemy commander does not know the situation inside the mountain.

He estimates based on his past experience that Hamid's troops have already suffered severe losses and defensive capabilities are mostly destroyed, so he immediately orders the infantry to charge forward under armored vehicle cover!

Hamid's base is inherently easy to defend but hard to attack. Once the two entrances are artificially blocked, any personnel or vehicles cannot enter. So the only thing they can do is provide close-range machine gun and artillery support to the charging infantry while shielding them with their own troops.

Hamid was standing inside the fortified tunnel, watching as the enemy's armored vehicles got closer and closer, with thousands of soldiers in tow. The soldiers relied on the armored vehicle cover to advance safely to the foot of the mountain, and then the enemy artillery opened fire again, launching a new round of bombardment against the slope.

This round of artillery fire lasted for 20 minutes, and after it stopped, thousands of soldiers emerged from behind the armored vehicles, shouting as they charged up the slope.

In the eyes of the enemy commander, if they can capture the front slope, it's equivalent to taking down Hamid's entire base.

The significance of the slope is very great in this type of traditional ground attack warfare. If you can take down the slope in a local war, it's equivalent to gaining control over this region and forming a strong fire deterrent around you.

And the slope itself is easy to defend but hard to attack. A mountain defended by 500 people would be difficult for an army of 5,000 to take.

When defending, the side that occupies the high ground has an advantage, while the enemy attacking from below has difficulty.

When attacking, the side that occupies the high ground can launch a decisive charge, while the enemy defending from below is almost without any defenses to speak of. Even retreat would be extremely difficult because their entire rear would be exposed to the enemy.

So the enemy commander feels that no matter how many soldiers Hamid has left, if they can capture the slope and then launch a charge into the base from the slope, it will settle the battle once and for all!

When thousands of soldiers surged forward, Hamid's soldiers immediately began entering the permanent fortification on the right flank.

After the enemy's thousands of soldiers had completely entered Hamid's permanent fortification fire range, Hamid suddenly gave the order via radio: "Open fire!" JrNovels.com
