Chapter 371: Rescue Letter

Sent away the envoys of various countries. Early the next morning, Du Feng and Hassan came to the council hall early, and when they came to the conference room, it was already overcrowded.

Because of one piece of news, people had a heated discussion.

Not long ago, a superstitious letter from Idlib was sent to the government in Aleppo, a very short letter asking for help, indicating that the area was being attacked by rebels and requesting support from the Aleppo government army.

"What do you think?" Hassan sat at the head of the round table, beside him were Du Feng and Song Yue, followed by a group of high-ranking government officers.

"Idlib is very important to us, and it is our duty to come to the rescue as government forces, please give the order, I am willing to take a regiment to rescue Idlib. An officer who is one of Hassan's cronies and an important official in the military ministry said eagerly.

Hassan nodded, indicating that he did not disagree with his opinion, after all, Idlib is a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands (in today's Syria, hundreds of thousands is already quite a small number). Located in a fertile valley connecting the Aleppo plain with the valley of the Asi River, it is a perennial agricultural market on the Aleppo-Latakia transport line. There are also a large number of spinning mills and olive oil mills. If you take the belly, the benefits of Idlib are self-evident.

But even if this reason was sufficient, there were still people who objected, and someone immediately stood up, and this person was still an officer, with the same status as the former.

At this time, the Aleppo government army had a division and a brigade of regular troops, the so-called division was the first division of Hassan's elite troops, but after several wars, the first division was called a division, and it was only a little more than 2,000 people, and this number was not even as large as some independent regiments, and the so-called brigade was only 1,000 people.

In fact, this kind of military establishment also illustrates the current situation in Syria, and the regiment established in accordance with the Soviet Union's establishment reference is completely borrowed from the Soviet Union in terms of number allocation, with 12,000 men in one division, six regiments under it, and 15,000 men in various baggage units, rear personnel, and gendarmerie. After the civil war was consumed, the establishment began to decrease, and the follow-up troops have not been replenished, and there are still many temporary firefighting teams, which has caused the situation that the establishment is not available.

In the Battle of Deir ez-Zor, there were even cases in which six or seven brigades and above fought in clusters, while the total number of troops was less than 5,000.

Back to business.

The officer stood up and said, "General, we have no way of knowing the current situation in Idlib, and the situation around us is too turbulent, it is possible that the enemy is cheating!"

What the officer said did have some truth, and soon led several people to agree, and they discussed whether to send troops to rescue, and now Aleppo has just gone through the defense of the city, and the time for rectification in exchange for "selling" prisoners is really not much, and there is no time to take care of it.

"Mr. Du, what do you think?" Hassan had really regarded Du Feng as one of his own at this time, and of course he needed to ask Du Feng what he thought about this decision.

Du Feng said: "Just now, our reconnaissance plane has reported the situation on the spot, and now there are indeed a large number of rebels gathered around Idlib, which should be the troops withdrawn from Aleppo before, and now Aleppo has stabilized, but the problem of grain and grass is still severe, we need, and urgently need the supply of materials in the Idlib region, otherwise it is a problem to recover the northern region earlier, that is, self-protection."

After that, Du Feng had already opened the video data fed back by the reconnaissance plane. I saw that a large number of troops had gathered in a small town, and judging from their clothing, they were definitely not government troops or rebels! However, unlike the usual rebels, their equipment appeared to be very sophisticated, from tanks to armored vehicles, to light and heavy machine guns, all kinds of artillery!

In fact, since the failure of the NATO bloc attack on Aleppo, the strategy of direct use of troops has been suspended, but it has changed to the previous way, providing weapons and equipment, and borrowing rebels to penetrate the Syrian region, which also makes the rebels' weapons better than the government army for a period of time.

A foreigner's speech is very easy to have a negative impact at the meeting, even Du Feng, who has become the honorary defense minister, and after his speech, some people quickly raised objections, and even those who had supported the support were skeptical.

"Minister Du, there are too many enemy troops, if the city is really a trap under the rebels, we have no chance of winning at all, we don't have tanks, and the possibility of divine rain from the sky is too small!

The same voice of discussion quickly spread, and Du Feng was not angry about it, after all, he had already guessed this situation.

"Who said we didn't have Tucker. Du Feng smiled: "And in the near future, we will deliver the first batch of 30 armored vehicles and more than ten tank vehicles." If you wait until the evening, no less than thirty tank cars will be handed over again. I think the oil resources I have now and the ammunition that the tank comes with should be able to fight a battle!"

"What?" this time even Hassan was shocked, how long has it been since he handed over the Du Feng tanks? How could it be possible to repair them so quickly, not to mention those delicate instrument parts, even the artillery fire system and the basic engine alone could not be repaired.

Du Feng knew that everyone didn't believe it, so he smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, we'll wait and see, it is estimated that the tank will be driven over after we have a meeting." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Du Feng's words fell, the roar of a mechanical giant beast was still heard outside.

The officers who heard the voice also stood up incredulously, they had seen through the window the tanks, armored vehicles, these vehicles were like new, not only repaired very well, but also changed the paint in a short time, it was a bit like the Chinese paint, digital camouflage!

There were already many people on the streets, who knew that these tanks once belonged to the enemy and were now serving Aleppo, and a sense of pride made them cheer for the tanks.

"In addition to that, the Hurricane will provide first-hand intelligence analysis for the campaign, and will send all the drones to detect all the troops in and around the city. ”

"With these guys, anything can go sideways in Syria!" The opponents already know that it will be useless to oppose themselves, but in their hearts, they ask themselves if they still want to oppose it? They used to be cautious because the equipment was really bad, but now that they have first-class equipment, they are actually more eager to fight a war in their hearts!

"How about it? General Hassan is going to war?" Du Feng said.

"Haha, I'm wondering, do we have a reason to leave the night?" said Hassan, beaming with pride.
