After dark, a military airport in Damascus is extremely busy.
In order to drop a thousand Wanlongdian soldiers on Hamid's base, all the few transport planes in Syria were mobilized. In addition, two cargo planes were urgently called from civil aviation.
A total of six planes were responsible for carrying out tonight's flight mission, and Chen Zhonglei also selected the strongest 1,000 elites from more than 8,000 Wanlong Palace soldiers, and asked them to be fully armed and prepare for the early morning airborne landing.
In order to kill the enemy with one strike, Chen Zhonglei allocated all high-end equipment to these one thousand people.
This includes a set of the best individual weapons for each person, a best bulletproof vest, a lightweight bulletproof helmet, a set of head-mounted night vision equipment and multiple thermal imaging cameras.
This kind of high-end standard equipment is expensive, and there are very few purchasing channels. Even Wanlong Palace is unable to provide one set per capita.
Chen Zhonglei felt that since it was a night raid, night vision equipment was simply an artifact. At night when the visual distance to the naked eye was less than five meters, soldiers with night vision equipment were like cheating and had great advantages.
And our own soldiers have very powerful protective equipment. When fighting in close combat, even if the enemy's firepower covers them, our soldiers can ensure that their vital points are not hit with a high probability, which can further increase their advantage.
In addition, Chen Zhonglei also equipped these thousand soldiers with a very cruel weapon, incendiary grenades.
This kind of incendiary grenade is the standard equipment of the U.S. Army. It is similar to the principle of napalm bomb, but it is made in the shape of a grenade to facilitate the use of individual soldiers.
Incendiary grenades use thermite reaction to generate high temperatures of up to 3,000 degrees after explosion, which can melt even steel.
If two were thrown into an almost completely enclosed hidden fortification, it would be enough to burn the soldiers hiding inside to charcoal.
It doesn't matter if the internal space of the concealed fortification is large. When the incendiary bomb is fully burned, it can deplete the internal oxygen, and the people inside will suffocate to death even if they are not burned to death.
In Chen Zhonglei's opinion, it is most appropriate to use this kind of weapon to attack Hamid's hidden fortifications.
With superior weapons, superior vision, superior defense, and superior combat effectiveness, Chen Zhonglei believed that his thousand elites would definitely cause great damage to the opponent.
In the military camp next to the airport, 5,000 government soldiers are also undergoing their final assembly.
This is also Chen Zhonglei's third set of insurance. If the fighting becomes fierce after Wanlongdian soldiers airborne, thousands of government soldiers on the periphery will immediately launch a charge, working together to annihilate the enemy.
And these five thousand soldiers no longer used the same combat plan during the day. They no longer carried towed artillery and a large number of artillery shells. Instead, they directly used nearly a hundred various carrier vehicles to quickly march towards Hamid's base.
In a few hours, we can reach the foot of Hamid Base.
While the thousand soldiers of Wanlong Palace were still checking their equipment, these five thousand soldiers had already set off. Their movement speed could not match that of airplanes, so they had to set off one step ahead.
As for the soldiers of Wanlongdian, they will board the plane at one o'clock in the morning, and then take off one after another within half an hour, heading for Hamid's base.
While the soldiers were inspecting their equipment, Chen Zhonglei was still explaining tactics to them, asking them to give full play to and utilize their various advantages and do their best to ensure the successful completion of the mission.
At one o'clock in the morning, soldiers carrying parachute bags began to board the plane in an orderly manner.
Chen Zhonglei also personally boarded one of the military transport planes.
Although he will not personally lead the team to parachute, he will be on this military transport aircraft and use the communication equipment on the aircraft to collect the battle situation on the battlefield in real time, so as to provide tactical command as soon as possible when the soldiers need him.
Subsequently, the planes took off one after another, divided into two echelons in the air, and headed towards Hamid's base one after another.
