Chapter 1573 Fire!
Hamid's enemies did not know that at this time, Hamid's army was not only not killed by artillery, but instead became more and more brave in the sound of artillery.
At this time, Hamid saw that the shelling was of little use to the reverse slope fortifications, and his confidence increased.
While listening to the rumbling sound of cannons outside, he sighed in his heart: "If Brother Ye hadn't taught me this kind of reverse slope tactic, the lives of these thousands of people would have been explained in the first two rounds of artillery!"
"The Shangganling that Brother Ye asked me to read is indeed a classic battle like a textbook. The great volunteer army was able to win the final victory of this battle in the bombardment of millions of American shells, not only because they are brave and good at fighting, but also because they have outstanding strategic vision and advanced tactical arrangements!"
"When I survive this battle, I will dig up all the mountains around me and build a solid super fortress!"
At this time, the government's shelling continued.
This time they carried tens of thousands of shells and more than 30 cannons, and it was not a problem to shoot hundreds of rounds.
Moreover, their infantry was still advancing, so during this period, the artillery shelling continued to continue at intervals of every three minutes.
After twenty rounds of artillery bombardment, most of the bases in the valley have been razed to the ground, and only a few houses are still standing alone.
Some soldiers came to the tunnel entrance carefully to observe the damage to the base.
When they found that the base had been razed to the ground, many people were red with their eyes, clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and their hearts were full of hatred.
Maybe for Su Shoudao, the dilapidated courtyard was a nightmare and a hell, but for these soldiers, those courtyards and houses were their homes.
And now, their home has been blown away by the enemy!
Just as many soldiers were angry and wanted to take revenge, a new round of shelling came!
This time, the shells did not fall into the base that was almost razed, but fell directly to the periphery of the mountain on the south side of the base, which is the forward slope of the mountain.
Because, in the other party's conventional perception, they felt that most of Hamid's soldiers, food, ammunition and other supplies must be placed in the base, so the shelling for such a long time before was to completely destroy their base, supplies and equipment.
And they also knew that the main defensive forces of Hamid's base must be concentrated on the front slope of the mountain, so after they destroyed the base, they began to destroy the defensive positions.
They believed that as long as he used powerful firepower to destroy all his defensive power on the front slope, tanks and infantry could drive straight in!
In this way, the infantry basically only need to come and sweep the tail, and the war will basically end.
However, what they didn't know was that Hamid's armed forces were already very different from other similar armed forces.
Before we met Ye Chen, Hamid's base fortifications were to dig some foxholes on the incline of the mountain, then build a fire pile with stones, and then use hay to make a covert top for concealment.
This kind of fortification is very simple. If you deal with enemy infantry charges at a high place, you will have no problem dealing with infantry ak47 bullets, and it does have a very big advantage.
However, if the other party plays fire suppression and uses a mortar or RPG bazooka, this kind of fox pit is basically like a paper-paste, and it is simply the best tomb for soldiers.
Now the government forces are intensively bombing the front slope, in order to quickly disintegrate Hamid's defensive power.
However, they never dreamed that Hamid had just made a thorough transformation of the frontal fortifications.
The current permanent fortifications were dug out of the rocky mountain, and at the same time, reinforced concrete was used to make multiple layers of anchoring and reinforcement. The construction technology was the same as that of the tunnel, and the degree of solidity was extremely high.
With the power of their towing artillery fire, the possibility of blowing up such fortifications is almost zero.
Unless high-end heavy ground drilling bombs are used, it is possible to blow up the fortifications.
However, only the five-time states of the United Nations can master such high-end weapons. Syria's overall firepower level, at best, is the level of the 1960s and 1970s, and it is impossible to obtain such equipment.
Moreover, even if they have such equipment, they cannot cause direct damage to Hamid's troops.
Because, now there is not a soldier in the frontal fortifications of Hamid.
Hamid firmly implemented Ye Chen's order. Since the opponent was fighting the cooperation of infantry and artillery, when did the artillery stop? The infantry began to charge and then mobilized the troops to fight against the defense.
At this moment, the soldiers were hiding safely in the back slope tunnel behind. The enemy shells fired dozens of rounds, and Hamid was not even injured.
While bombing, the opponent's artillery quickly advanced towards the base. More than an hour later, more than 5,000 troops were already close at hand and stopped at the foot of the mountain about two thousand meters away from the entrance of the base.
At this time, another round of bombing began!
The front slope of the entire mountain had been blown up to black, and the small mountain was soon full of devastation.
This is the last round of artillery before the infantry charge. Once the infantry starts to charge, the artillery must stop, otherwise large-scale artillery can easily hurt their own people.
However, the other party's commander did not know what was happening inside the mountain.
Based on his past experience, he concluded that Hamid's troops must have been severely reduced and most of their defensive forces must have been destroyed. So he immediately ordered the infantry to launch a charge under the cover of armored vehicles!
Hamid's base is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the two entrances in the north and south are cut off, no personnel or vehicles cannot enter at all, so the armored vehicles cannot rush in directly. The only thing they can do is to cover the infantry to charge towards the high ground, and provide close-range machine gun and artillery fire support.
In the fortifications on the front, Hamid watched the opponent's armored vehicles roaring closer and closer, followed by thousands of arched soldiers. The soldiers rely on the cover of the armored vehicles to advance safely to the foot of the mountain. Then, the opponent's artillery opened fire again and launched a new round of artillery on the incline of the high ground.
This round of artillery fired for a total of twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, as soon as the artillery fire stopped, thousands of soldiers rushed out from behind the armored vehicles and rushed to the high ground.
In the eyes of the opponent's commander, as long as you take down the front high ground, it is equivalent to taking down the entire Hamid's base.
This traditional ground attack battle has a very important significance. As long as you win the high ground in a local war, it is equivalent to taking the initiative in the war in this area, and it is equivalent to forming a powerful firepower deterrent to the surrounding area. Moreover, the high ground itself is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The high ground with 500 people stationed at 500 people may not be able to charge down.
When defending, the party occupying the high ground is easy to defend, while the enemy attacking from a low point is difficult to attack.
During the attack, the party occupying the high ground charges like a rush, while the enemy defending at low places has almost no danger to defend, and even retreating is very difficult because the entire back will be exposed to the opponent.
Therefore, the opponent's commander felt that no matter how many troops Hamid still has, as long as he took down the high ground and then launched a charge from the high ground to the internal base, he could resolve the battle at one time!
When thousands of soldiers flocked to the ground, Hamid's soldiers immediately began to enter the permanent fortifications on the front slope from the back slope tunnel.
