Moreover, their infantry was still advancing, so during this time, the artillery shelling continued at intervals of one round every three minutes.
After twenty rounds of shelling, most of the bases in the valley had been razed to the ground. Only a few houses were left standing intact and alone.
After discovering that the base had been razed to the ground, many of them had red eyes, clenched their fists, clenched their teeth, and their hearts were full of hatred.
Maybe to Zynn, that shabby little yard was a nightmare, a hell, but to these soldiers, those little yards, those houses, were their homes.
And now, their homes were blown away by the enemy!
Just as many soldiers were angrily trying to avenge the loss, a new round of shelling came!
This time, the shells did not fall into the almost flattened base again, but landed directly on the periphery of the mountain on the south side of the base, which is the positive slope of the mountain.
Because, in the conventional perception of the other side, they felt that most of Hamid’s soldiers, food and ammunition, and other supplies, must be placed inside the base, so the shelling in front for such a long time was to completely destroy their base as well as supplies and equipment.
And they also knew clearly that the main defense force of this man’s base must be concentrated on the positive slope of the mountain. Therefore, after they destroyed the base, they began to destroy the defensive positions.
They thought that as long as they used strong firepower to destroy all his defensive forces on the positive slope, the tanks and infantry would be able to drive straight in!
In this way, basically, the infantry would only need to come over and sweep the tail and the fight would be basically over.
However, what they did not know was that Hamid’s arms, and those other arms of the same type, had been extremely different.
Before knowing Charlie. Hamid’s base fortification, was to dig some foxholes on the positive slope of the mountain, and then use stones to build a firing stack, and then use hay on top to make a top for concealment.
This kind of fortification is very simple, if in high places to deal with the enemy infantry charge, to deal with infantry AK47 bullets without problems, and indeed has a very big advantage.
However, if the other side played fire suppression, the use of mortars or RPG, this foxhole is basically the same as the paper, is simply the best grave of soldiers.
