Chapter 1582: I am the King of Mercenaries!

When young people in the country were still holding drones worth a few thousand yuan and shooting blindly in the wild, Hamid's subordinates had already used this kind of inconspicuous thing to achieve complete aerial monitoring of the local battlefield.

The advantage of complete aerial suspension was that the drone could remain static in the sky and closely observe the target, unlike America's Global Hawk, which needed to keep circling around the target.

And Hamid, while admiring Ye Chen's planning, had long made tactical arrangements.

Through the image transmission signal sent back from the sky, he analyzed that the other side should have at most no more than one thousand two hundred people.

And they were now detouring to the west wing, eight out of ten times to outflank himself. So, he had long ordered to send three hundred more soldiers to defend the permanent fortifications on the front slope of the west wing.

Three hundred soldiers were not many, but using the advantages of time and terrain, it was more than enough to resist the attack of more than one thousand soldiers.

The permanent fortifications Hamid built, although not yet fully completed, had all been specially disguised externally.

Disguised fortifications, if they didn't open fire, even if you passed by them ten times, it was almost impossible to discover them.

The shooting holes of these fortifications had been blocked in advance with a large amount of fist-sized crushed stones, and then a layer of yellow soil was covered from the outside. This kind of disguise was extremely realistic on the mountain that was already full of crushed stones and yellow soil, and it was extremely difficult to be discovered.

Moreover, when they were doing the disguise, they also left a few slits like door cracks from the inside.

With just this kind of small slit, the people inside could easily observe the situation outside.

And this kind of disguise made of crushed stones was also very convenient and easy to remove.

Once shooting was needed, just a casual scrape, and the crushed stones could all be scraped away. Immediately after, the muzzle could be poked out and fire with full force.

If Lu Zhanjun outflanked from the west wing, he would happen to pass by these hidden fortifications of Hamid. By then, all of them would be exposed to the cross-fire network of machine guns.

However, Lu Zhanjun didn't know these at all.

He only thought about quickly taking down Hamid and using a victory to cover up his mistakes just now.

This time coming to Syria, the Cataclysmic Front up and down were all a bit contemptuous of the enemy.

They always felt that the opposition armed forces were just a bunch of third-world bandits without any military literacy, not much stronger than the pirates in Somalia.

These elites of theirs coming over were nothing more than coming to beat up these guerrillas who only knew how to hold AKs and sweep blindly, which was simply easy.

Therefore, they didn't make sufficient preparations before the battle, nor did they carry very expensive high-end weapons and equipment.

For the Cataclysmic Front soldiers at this moment, the RPG shoulder-fired rocket launcher could be counted as the most powerful individual weapon they had on hand.

However, Lu Zhanjun felt that the RPG was enough.

The huge losses in the frontal attack just now were not because the enemy was strong, but because his side was indeed too contemptuous of the enemy.

As long as he paid attention now and found the correct strategic plan, he would definitely be able to lead the Cataclysmic Front soldiers to easily conquer the other side.

Now, he and his troops had arrived at the foot of the west wing mountain of Hamid's base. He believed that at most one hour later, this war would end! This time, in the tactics formulated by Lu Zhanjun, there were three plans.

The first and best plan was to quietly touch the entrance of Hamid's permanent fortifications, then suddenly kill their way in, catch them off guard, and eliminate them all inside the fortifications they built themselves.

This was also the goal that the attacking side most longed to achieve in all hard offensive battles, because only in this way could they work toward the goal most easily and pay the least casualty price.

The second plan, which was to settle for the next best thing, was to touch the vicinity of the permanent fortifications and use RPG rocket launchers to carry out precision strikes on the permanent fortifications. This process was just like the process of hitting bunkers and towers in anti-Japanese films.

As for the third and worst plan, it was to launch a strong attack at all costs.

However, there were few successful cases of the third plan.

Because once they entered the other side's firepower network and couldn't solve the other side's defensive fortifications, the other side basically formed a harvester-style killing advantage. In this situation, if they could still win, it basically relied on piling up corpses.

Therefore, Lu Zhanjun didn't plan to use the third plan unless it was a last resort.

But as a commander, he had to consider every possibility. So, he formulated a red line for the third plan: once the casualties and reduction exceeded 60%, retreat immediately.

However, he knew very well in his heart that this kind of situation would never happen.

After preparing, Lu Zhanjun led all the soldiers to check their equipment and ammunition. After confirming there was no problem, he said to the commander of the frontal battlefield through the walkie-talkie: "We have now touched the west side of the other side. You launch a feint attack right now!"

The other side immediately replied: "After you launch a feint attack on my side, you must also launch a surprise attack immediately on your side!"

Lu Zhanjun looked at the time and said: "I will launch a surprise attack from the west wing ten minutes after you launch the feint attack!"

"Why do you have to wait ten minutes?" The other side was very puzzled and said: "The other side's firepower is very fierce, and the defense is solid. I don't know how many brothers I will lose in ten minutes. You should immediately outflank as soon as I start fighting. This is the most reasonable plan!"

Lu Zhanjun said seriously: "I must wait for you to attack first, and wait for the enemy to start fighting with you before I can determine the location of the enemy's firepower points through visual estimation. Only by determining the location of the enemy's firepower points can my people launch a fast sneak attack accurately and destroy the enemy's firepower points directly. Otherwise, if we rush over together, we simply can't catch them off guard!"

The other side hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was indeed the truth, so he opened his mouth and said: "Good! I will let the soldiers prepare, and launch the attack in ten minutes!"

He knew very well in his heart that he had no other choice now. With the solidity of Hamid's fortifications, it was impossible to attack from the front. Even if all the people were sacrificed, there would be no chance. The only chance for success lay here with Lu Zhanjun.

And Lu Zhanjun had been a mercenary for several years. Although he could be said to be experienced, all his combat experience was combat experience in war-torn areas attacking small armed forces. He hadn't encountered a truly powerful and strategic opponent.

This was like a martial arts expert who had only accumulated actual combat experience by beating up street hooligans all along.

If a person abuses vegetables too much, he will definitely become more and more vegetable.

What's more terrible is that he will indulge in the sense of achievement of repeatedly succeeding in abusing vegetables and be unable to extricate himself, completely unaware of the fact that he is becoming more and more vegetable.

Therefore, at this moment

At this moment, he was still instructing the several soldiers beside him: "All of you, pay close attention. Once their second round of feigned attacks begins in a moment, we will be able to observe the locations of Hamid's firing points from here. When that time comes, mark all these firing points down. Once we begin our assault, we will immediately use the fastest speed to wipe out all of their firing points! As long as we take out their defensive fortifications, we will win!"

The several soldiers nodded immediately, then took out observation equipment and mapping tools, preparing to map out the enemy's firing point locations with the fastest speed once the feigned attack began.

Lu Zhanjun was confident of success at this moment; in his eyes, Hamid's frontal position had already become something within his grasp!
