Chapter 416: Sacred Defense Line

"Good. Du Feng smiled: "We will set off tomorrow, but you have to think clearly, what is this for? We have no obligation to protect you, and your personal safety can only depend on yourself." ”

Although there are still many questions about this old man in his heart, it doesn't hurt that Du Feng decided to bring her, after all, she is a Syrian native, and there are many dialect pronunciations in Syria and Huaxia, and she can deal with it when necessary.

The rescue team flew towards Aleppo with five children, while Du Feng and Beseniya chose to spend the night in Sunan and travel to Deir ez-Zor the next day.

The next day, the yellow sand began to flutter with the hot wind, and the sky had just returned to the earth as soon as it was hot, and the coolness of the night was instantly gone.

"It's really weird here, why did you choose to come to this place in the first place, you shouldn't be from here. Du Feng sat in the cab and said to Besenia who was packing up his things.

Besenia raised his head and gave Du Feng a provocative look and said, "This is a hotbed for mercenaries, I'm a mercenary, why can't I come here." ”

Besenia knew what Du Feng wanted to ask, it was nothing more than the fact that she faked her death and then disappeared, but now that she has taken off the mask of the poisonous scorpion, and Du Feng, who has completely changed into a person, who can say anything about the two?

"Grandma, I'll get it for you!" Besenia didn't want to say much, and turned away from the subject.

Du Feng didn't ask questions, Besenia's secrets would not be too hysterically excavated, but this did not mean that they were indifferent, the person who killed the scorpion in the first place would definitely find them.

The old woman didn't have many belongings, not counting the one package that Besenia was carrying, but only a small bag.

A piece bulged out of her waist, and Du Feng knew that she had stuck the gun in her waist.

Du Feng took out a roll of gauze from the drawer and said, "Use a help, remember to turn off the safe, otherwise the bullet won't last long." ”

The old woman nodded, at this time she did not refuse Du Feng's kindness at all, turned to the back of the car and began to wrap gauze around her gun.

An hour later, Du Feng and the others had already arrived in the Deir ez-Zor district, which was far more desolate than Aleppo, there were no scattered buildings like Aleppo on the roadside, but more like a large area of endless loess flying sand, and there were many steel giants on the hills, and these big guys of tanks or armored fighting vehicles were lying quietly here, which was more like a battlefield than a battlefield.

Deir ez-Zor is not far from southern Jiangsu, only 50 kilometers away, with a population of 100,000, is the largest transportation hub and commercial center in the northeast, once existed as the northeast defense line, during the era of government forces and rebels, the Syrian government army and the opposition forces and the terrorist group called the "Al-Nusrah Front" fought a long fierce battle in the city of Deir ez-Zor.

However, extremist groups later besieged Deir ez-Zor from both Raqqa and Anbar provinces in Iraq, driving opposition forces and Jabhat al-Nusra out of Deir ez-Zor and completely encircling the Syrian government-controlled areas in Deir ez-Zor, turning government-controlled areas into isolated islands. After the previous Battle of Miye, all government forces retreated to the south, and it became a real isolated city, and the extremist groups took the opportunity to directly capture the city, and Deir ez-Zor changed hands from then on.

"The stretch is full of sentry posts, fifty meters away from an open sentry, and there are many places where you can do a secret sentry, so it is difficult to sneak in. Besenia leaned on the mound and looked at the city that seemed to be a lonely city of the end of the world.

Besenia turned to Du Feng and said, "These extremist organizations seem to be a little different. ”

Du Feng nodded without denial, from these simple deployments, Du Feng had already seen that this remnant extremist force already had some ways to do things.

Generally speaking, the trenches were shaped by Germany from the beginning of the First World War and were divided into three layers, the first layer was an explosion-proof trench, the second layer was a support trench, and the third layer was a supply trench for ammunition storage, and a kitchen and toilet, as well as a hospital for temporary relief of wounded soldiers. As for the outside of the third floor, there is usually an area of artillery fire, which provides artillery support for the entire fortification.

It was only Deir ez-Zor's position, but it was not, it did not use the three-tier position immunely, but was scattered into multiple firing points, and these trenches built on the basis of the original government army seemed to be staggered and complex, but they were very rigorous.

Looking at the light and heavy firepower on the bright face, Du Feng could feel the strong killing intent from it, one by one, individual trenches, machine gun positions, forming an invulnerable firepower network, every five meters a cat's ear hole for individual soldiers to avoid air attacks, and a large pit fifty meters away, what is hidden inside cannot be known.

The forward position is made of concrete, and on the outermost side of the position is the barbed wire fence that stretches and surrounds it, which divides the vast space like a labyrinth, and if the war starts here, it will be a no-man's land, and it is also the most difficult place to attack.

Studying this position, Du Feng could also imagine that once a force launched an attack on Deir Ezzor, what he would have to face was this man-eating meat grinder. If you don't use the Air Force to consume it multiple times, it will cost the life of the attacking team here, of course, this premise is the regular troops.

If he forcibly broke through, Du Feng could guarantee that under the blow of his own trinity, he would not be able to hold out for too long in the excellent position. In the first wave, the light and heavy artillery behind the position will be completely paralyzed by the drone, and the frontal battlefield will not survive at all under the impact of the Apocalypse tank. But even if he was 99 percent sure of victory, Du Feng would not easily transfer troops here, he didn't believe that a person who could clean up the forces of the extremist organization so neatly would not hide his trump card before completely figuring out this place. Du Feng will not liberate Deir ez-Zor on a large scale.

"This is their sacred line of defense, claiming to be able to eat ten divisions!" the old woman also lay nearby and whispered to Du Feng.

Du Feng did not deny the old woman's words, if it was the government army, maybe it would really make them pay a heavy price.

"Where did we get into the city from?" Du Feng asked, observing Deir ez-Zor with a telescope.

The impenetrable siege of Deir Ezzor is far stricter than it was during the martial law in Aleppo, and unlike back then, people still have basic human rights under the control of government forces, but it is difficult for extremists here to pretend to be refugees and enter the city.

"Sewers!" said the old woman, "I know that there is a dry well not far away, which is connected to the drainage system of the city, and from where it can go to Deir ez-Zor. ”
