Originally, the soldiers on the attacking side found that their charge was not met with any resistance. They thought that the enemy had already been disabled by rounds of artillery bombardments and that it was impossible to mount effective resistance.
Therefore, they all relaxed their vigilance and just wanted to rush forward in one go, and then completely destroy Hamid's lair with one charge.
But who would have thought that just when they thought they were sure to win this battle, a large amount of machine gun flames suddenly spewed out from the stone cracks in many mountains in the highlands!
The ubiquitous gunshots quickly covered the entire hillside, and the soldiers at the front fell down in rows like wheat.
All the soldiers behind were stunned!
They hurriedly raised their guns and wanted to fight back, but they couldn't see half of the enemy!
The only thing that can be seen is the tongues of fire spurting out from the cracks in the rocks everywhere.
And every time they saw tongues of fire gushing out, a group of them would be hit and fall to the ground along with the tongues of fire gushing out.
In less than a minute, the attackers lost at least five to six hundred soldiers.
Some soldiers subconsciously fired back in the direction of the flames, but their weapons had no practical effect on Hamid's permanent fortifications.
At this time, the frontline commander shouted loudly, asking the soldiers to find bunkers as soon as possible.
But the most damaging thing was that Hamid had already had people take care of all the hiding places on the sloped hillside. The previous potholes had been filled in, and the previous boulders had been directly blasted into pieces.
All in all, these thousands of people are now on the hillside and cannot find any shelter to avoid bullets!
But Hamid's troops were still in the permanent fortifications and were fighting back frantically!
His troops are equipped with a large number of Russian-made weapons. Each permanent fortification is equipped with multiple 7.62 mm caliber, air-cooled Russian-made PK general-purpose machine guns, and a small number of 12.7 mm anti-aircraft heavy machine guns.
The former has a fast rate of fire, wide fire coverage, multiple angles, and multiple machine guns forming a cross-fire network, which is very lethal to ordinary soldiers;
Although the latter's rate of fire is slow, it is so powerful that it will basically kill you if it touches it. What's even more cruel is that when there are many people, the penetration ability of this thing is far better than that of ordinary machine guns. One shot can penetrate the bodies of several soldiers.
Body.
The combination of these two weapons makes them invincible in this kind of highland battle. In addition, the enemy has no place to hide, so he is completely passive and beaten.
Because these enemies were about to launch a charge, and because they had made the mistake of underestimating the enemy before, they did not carry heavy equipment at all. At this time, their firepower alone was vastly different from their opponents.
The even bigger disparity is that the attacker's army has no danger at all and is completely defending against bullets with its body.
But Hamid's soldiers are different. They are all hiding in permanent fortifications made of rock and concrete. The front is reinforced with steel plates and covered with a layer of soil. The bullets are like mosquitoes biting elephants.
, there is no lethality at all.
Their commander in front of the formation, seeing more and more soldiers falling around him, realized that the opponent had been prepared for a long time, and it was impossible to defeat such a strong attack, so he immediately shouted: "Retreat! Everyone retreat behind the armored vehicles."
!”
As a result, the remaining three to four thousand soldiers began to flee crazily.
During this retreat, the soldiers who were at the forefront completely exposed their backs to the firing range of Hamid's soldiers, so they lost hundreds of people in the retreat.
All the soldiers retreated behind the armored vehicles, and the frontline commander immediately began to count the number of people.
Soon, the attrition situation was reported from each company, and 5,000 men launched a charge. In one encounter, 1,300 people died.
Among them, there are more than 500 mercenaries from Wanlong Palace.
This time, Wanlong Palace sent 10,000 mercenaries to Syria.
In principle, these people must obey the command of the Syrian government forces and cooperate with them in wiping out the anti-government armed forces.
The Syrian government forces split the 10,000 Wanlongdian mercenaries. The 10,000 people were divided into four equal parts, and they cooperated with the four divisions of the government army, and they blossomed in many directions.
