Chapter: 3307

At the time when the Dragon Temple's thousand soldiers were still inspecting their equipment, these five thousand soldiers had already set off and begun moving. Their speed is slower than that of airplanes, so they need to get ahead of schedule.

As for the Dragon Temple's soldiers, they will board at midnight, followed by continuous takeoff within half an hour to fly towards Hamid's base in mid-air.

Meanwhile, Chen Zhonglie was still briefing them on tactics, telling them to fully utilize their respective advantages and do their best to ensure a smooth completion of the mission.

At midnight, the soldiers carrying parachutes began boarding in an orderly manner.

Chen Zhonglie also boarded one of the military transport planes.

Although he won't be jumping out with the team, he'll be on this plane, using the plane's communication equipment to receive real-time battle updates and provide tactical guidance to his troops when needed.

Subsequently, each plane took off one after another, then split into two formations flying towards Hamid's base from above.

At the same time, 5,000 government soldiers were just 40 kilometers away from Hamid's stronghold.

Given their all-out mobilization, they expected to arrive at their designated location within 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, inside Hamid's base, it was like a fiery inferno.

Ahead of schedule, over 140 explosive points had been pre-set, controlled by 14 demolition experts and engineers.

Each of them had a detonator in front of them with the location and code numbers marked, while they also carried a handheld radio using specialized frequencies.

Once the enemy appears, and once the soldiers on reconnaissance duty confirm the location of the enemy, they will inform the explosive points that need to be detonated through this communication channel.

At that time, the personnel responsible for blasting will immediately detonate the specified explosive point as soon as they find it within their control range.

This way, even if there are over 10 people controlling over 100 explosive points, there won't be any misoperations.

Meanwhile, Hamid's scouts were also focusing on each mountain road, keeping a close eye on every path. Drones were always on the lookout, though the nighttime observation capability of drones was significantly reduced. However, if the enemy is a large-scale mobile force, there will definitely be lights, and even in the dark mountains, lights can still be difficult to detect, but the drone's visual angle can capture everything, making it easier to spot the enemy at night.

Captain Chen Zonglei sat inside the cockpit of his plane, observing the ground outside through the window.

The mountainous region in Syria is very remote and isolated. As soon as night falls, the vast hillside area has only a few scattered light sources. These lights are mostly located within the mountains, belonging to small villages or some anti-government organizations.

Both co-pilots on the plane were soldiers from the Wanda Temple, and because they worried about the Syrian Air Force pilots' lack of flying experience, Captain Chen Zonglei had replaced them all with his own people.

At this moment, the captain spoke up: "Commander, we have 20 minutes left before we reach the jump-off point."

Captain Chen looked out the window, thinking to himself: "This place is really too backward. According to reports, many villages in the hillside area still haven't been connected to electricity yet."

"That's right," the captain nodded: "The lights we can see from up here are mostly torches lit by village fires. As for those that have electricity, they're basically armed groups only. They're the ones who can afford generators."

Commander Chen muttered to himself: "I just can't understand why they're willing to sacrifice so many comrades-in-arms against such a backward armed group... There's a strong sense of uncertainty in my heart, making me feel uneasy."

The pilot hastily said: "Don't worry too much, sir. We'll defeat them during the day, and mainly it's because we underestimated them. Plus, their defensive works are already set up, so we don't have an advantage."

"But at night, they're definitely not prepared to respond!" JrNovels.com
