Chapter 2418 Frontline

The car drove off the road.

It is less than twenty kilometers away from the border line, and it crosses a continuous low mountain. It is almost ten kilometers away from the border line Shah, which is Naijilan, where is the 30,000 troops of Shah.

Although Shah's army was stationed near Najilan, and the distance was more than 30 kilometers, this was still an extremely dangerous distance, because it was impossible for Shah to not deploy outpost troops on the border line, and it was very likely that the Shah had already secretly crossed the border. What's more, Shah was very likely to use drones to conduct air reconnaissance continuously. Therefore, Satan was not only dangerous, but quite dangerous during the assembly process.

Fortunately, Satan has few heavy equipment, only five self-propelled artillery. As for the logistics convoy, it can be completely dispersed from the highway, and the situation where a large number of vehicles and personnel gather together can be easily avoided.

Going west from the road is a very wide river valley, but this valley has only a very few opportunities to become a real river. Most of the time, this valley is just a dry valley.

Vehicles with low self-weight can completely pass through the river valley and enter the shallow mountains on the border. Only trailers carrying self-propelled artillery cannot pass through the flat but soft river valley, and self-propelled artillery needs to be unloaded on the road.

Fortunately, I have arrived at the war zone, and the next short distance can be completed completely by relying on the maneuverability of the self-propelled artillery.

All vehicles were lighted during the assembly process. In the dark, trailers were commanded to leave the road. Then the artillery commanded by Rebrov entered the self-propelled artillery and drove off the trailer under the command of the night vision instrument.

All Satans were equipped with night vision devices, and the same was true for those artillerymen. Of course, the artillery only used relatively cheap low-light night vision devices, but they were enough to bring great convenience.

Technology improves combat effectiveness, Gao Yang only had about thirty artillery soldiers in his hands, so he didn't mind spending a little money to equip artillery soldiers with night vision devices.

Gao Yang got out of the car. He was wearing a white robe and a headscarf on his head. From a distance, he looked no different from the Yemeni people. Only the night vision device on his head showed that it was different from the ordinary Yemeni people.

Looking quietly at the other side of the valley, Gao Yang was waiting for the artillery to assemble.

Whenever a self-propelled artillery completes the unloading work, it will immediately leave the highway and enter the valley, and then quickly pass to the foot of the mountain in the west of the valley to hide. The progress is very smooth. Five self-propelled artillery can complete the unloading work soon.

The last self-propelled artillery also left the highway and entered the valley. After a bumpy long-distance transportation, no self-propelled artillery malfunctioned. Everything was normal. This was a good start.

After the assembly is over, it is time to march, and it is time to enter the mountainous area.

The mountains on the border are not very high, and the extreme lack of rainfall all year round makes it neither the common mountain rivers in areas with abundant rainfall nor the shrubs that hinder the view. They are all bare stone mountains. These conditions are extremely unfavorable for concealment, but the advantage is that simple dirt roads are conveniently opened up in the mountains, which is enough to allow off-road vehicles to drive in the mountains easily.

What we need to confirm now is the road. The mountain paths are well connected. You cannot use the combat map to accurately and quickly reach the scheduled assembly area, because these paths will not appear on the combat map at all. Only by using GPS and satellite maps can you reach the destination as fast as possible.

The border between Shah and Yemen in this area is delineated on the peaks of a small mountain range.

The mountain is not very high and has an altitude of several hundred meters. It is impossible for Shah's mechanized troops to cross the top of the mountain to enter Yemen. However, the city of Naijilan is established on both sides of the valley of the Naijilan River. The city is all located on a flat low-lying desert. This desert is actually the sand that accumulates when the Naijilan River occasionally floods. In the city area at the western end of Naijilan City, there is another large area of ​​sand to the south. The flat sand narrows and shows the original appearance of a river valley, and this flat valley will pass through the mountains and directly enter Yemen's territory.

For the Shah army, the dry river valley south of Naijilan City is a natural highway. As long as you pass through the valley and enter Yemen through the mountains, individual hills will no longer be able to form a geographical obstacle to the formation of Shah's mechanized army. Whether it is a tank or a vehicle, it can pass at any time on the flat ground at the bottom of the mountain.

If Shah's mechanized troops set out from the city of Naijilan, there are even highways to use before reaching the Yemen border. They only need to leave the highway when entering the narrow valley between the mountains and use the valley to drive. In terms of time, the Shah army can reach the border from Naijilan City at most ten minutes. The time is so fast and the distance is so short.

So what Gao Yang has to do is very simple, which is to monitor the valley that can go south directly. If the Shah Army wants to enter the valley, then there is no choice but to start fighting.

Shah will definitely use that valley, and Yemen will naturally try his best to defend. Therefore, in recent times, the Houthi armed forces have deployed a large number of troops on the border line, and Shah will certainly not relax his vigilance against the extremely important valley passage. Now both sides have arranged a large number of infantry on the mountains on both sides of the valley.

The infantry on Shah's side only serves as a warning and defense role, but the light infantry on the Houthi armed side has to bear the heavy responsibility. They have to prevent the Shah army on the Naijilan line from entering Yemen through the river valley, and this task should not have been undertaken by the light infantry.

However, the two sides of the confrontation only monitor and alert each other. In Gao Yang's view, the Houthi armed forces, which are extremely lacking in heavy firepower, should at least lay a large amount of landmines in the valley, which can effectively delay the assault of the Shah mechanized troops. However, the Houthi armed forces have no intention of purging, even if the Houthi armed forces can obtain a large amount of landmines from Iran.

On the Shah side, there was no intention of sending infantry to seize the valley first, nor did he want to clear the high ground on both sides of the valley.

Both sides deployed a large number of troops on an extremely important channel, and then just watched.

Because he was worried that the air strikes would lead to unsafe roads, Satan's entry into the border mountainous area from Sana'a was delayed for a full week. Gao Yang began to feel that it would not be meaningful to go to the border again, but after discovering that Shah and the Houthi armed forces were staring at the border, he felt that he should come because he was worried that the northwest defense line of the Houthi armed forces would be completely destroyed with a slight stab.
