Chapter 440:

When the government army drove into Sulan Town, the town was particularly peaceful, and there were herdsmen grazing around it, and the gunshots suddenly rang out, as if a drop of water fell into the oil pot, and it boiled in an instant. Fastest updates

After a tentative offensive, the vanguard of the Government Army's mechanized regiment arrived at the front line and began the offensive towards point A7, which was defended by B Company.

A fierce exchange of fire ensued.

"Da Da Da!"

Dense on-board machine-gun gunfire rang out over the town, bullets hit the walls, fine pieces of dirt fell, and the walls collapsed as 73mm shells hit their targets.

The firepower of the government army is unimaginable, and the soldiers of the Free Army who fought for a time could not raise their heads.

Although it was an ambush in advance, after the first exposure of the free army, this small advantage of the free army was wiped out in the face of the powerful firepower of the government army.

Xiao Mubai was on the way to the first line of the A7 point highway, and there were thirty or forty people accompanying him, fully armed with loaded guns and ammunition.

Company B had already exchanged fire with the vanguard of the government army, and the opponent's firepower was superior, with heavy weapons such as armored vehicles and machine guns and 73mm smoothbore guns.

Less than 400 meters away, we arrived at the first line of the road west of the town at A7 point.

The government army is the strength of a mechanized regiment, and after a brief tentative attack by the free army, I don't know if it boasts of its strong strength, it actually pressed towards the small town of Sulan in a semi-encircled posture, and more than 200 BMP armored vehicles outflanked it.

At this time, the three infantry companies of the ABC were all pressed up, Evan's team was in the southwest corner on the other side of the road, and the militia led by Olush was assembled on the northern line of the town.

How should I say that the government army that came to attack was extremely confident, or was it stunned, and rushed up without feeling the situation.

In any case, the Free Army suffered.

Xiao Mubai stayed at a commanding height, condescendingly holding a telescope to observe the government troops opposite, Captain Andal kept commanding with a headset, and kept yelling at the opposite side: "Suppress, suppress me!" ”

No matter how angry Captain Andal was, Xiao Mubai was very leisurely anyway, and he didn't need to fight.

This huge room became the temporary headquarters of the Qashush battalion, and the one that had been prepared before was completely useless, and the staff officers who had just settled down wore their headsets neatly to listen to the soldiers in front of them if they needed artillery assistance, or something.

The Qashush battalion does not have artillery, to be precise, the Free Army does not have a formed artillery unit, and the only artillery is an infantry mortar sponsored by the Gulf countries, 70 mm caliber, and the entire Qashush battalion has about a dozen pairs.

This can be said to be the meat of Captain Andal's heart, which has been hidden in the depths all along, and even Xiao Mubai only knew about it just now.

The QS artillery company is still quite hidden.

For a long time, Xiao Mubai thought that the only heavy weapon of the Qashush infantry battalion was RPG rocket artillery, but at this moment he knew that he was thinking too simply, Captain Andal still had a killer idea.

However, it is not easy to destroy more than two hundred armored vehicles with just a dozen mortars of 70 mm caliber and more than two dozen RPG rocket launchers.

On the contrary, it can be said that it is hard.

Armored vehicles seem to be much weaker than tanks, but on the infantry, this is the same nightmare for them, a torrent of steel, not everyone can stop it.

Tanks are mobile pillboxes, and armored vehicles are the same, this kind of monster covered in steel, which cannot be stopped by flesh and blood like people.

Xiao Mubai believes that if the person on the other side is the Soviet Red Army, it will not be difficult to crush this town at all, it can be said to be devastating, but will the Syrian government army do it?

It's hard to say.

There are many such high-rise buildings in the town, even if most of them are three or two floors, but it is enough for people to see the advancing government troops outside the town, and they can see it clearly with the naked eye, let alone the telescope, and the magnification does not need to be turned up very high.

Xiao Mubai casually found a commanding height, where he could clearly see the government troops opposite.

Xiao Mubai, who clearly knows the strength of Syria, will not underestimate the strength of the government army, although the land area is only 180,000 square kilometers, almost the size of Hubei Province in China, and most of the country is still occupied by the opposition, but this does not mean that Syria's strength is weak.

Despite having a population of only 18 million, it has an active force of 310,000 people, and this is only the army, navy, air and air plus air defense forces, and the huge security forces are not counted.

The 58-to-1 ratio of military service makes Syria the second only country after Israel, which is a national soldier, and North Korea.

It can be said that Syria is a hedgehog full of spikes, with a round body, rich and strong.

If the above data is not enough to prove that Syria's strength cannot be underestimated, then the following set of data comparison will show how strong Syria really is.

During the Gulf War, Iraq had 1.2 million active troops, 5,500 tanks of various types, 2,500 armored reconnaissance vehicles, 1,500 armored infantry fighting vehicles, and 6,000 armored personnel carriers.

There is also the current China, with a population of 1.3 billion and 9.6 million square kilometers, with only 2.3 million active troops, 800,000 army and only 7,500 tanks, while Syria's 230,000 army has 5,500 tanks.

Although the abundance of equipment is not the only factor that proves the strength of the strength, but the equipment is insufficient, let alone any strength, you must know that equipment is a symbol of strength, you don't see the peak of the Soviet Union, more than 50,000 tanks composed of steel torrent made Europe frightened.

Similarly, Syria at this time was not weak at all, even if a nationwide civil war broke out in the country.

Take, for example, a mechanized regiment, which includes two mechanized infantry battalions of more than a hundred armored vehicles each, and a fire support battalion, including a mortar company, an anti-tank company, a grenade launcher company, and a heavy machine gun company.

So much equipment was laid out in a row, and it was pressed towards Sulan Town, and the armored vehicles kicked up billowing dust, this scene was really boiling, and it was much better than the war blockbuster.

It's a pity that Xiao Mubai appeared as a villain, and the enemy's firepower was unstoppable.

Xiao Mubai is not a commander, if he is a commander, he would want to lead the troops to retreat, and it is impossible to hold on to the enemy by fighting and retreating on the sides to inflict mass damage on top of the enemy, delaying the enemy's attack.

It's not that our army is too incompetent, it's that the enemy is too strong.

More than 200 BMP infantry fighting vehicles, how can they resist it, if all the armored vehicles on the opposite side are replaced by tanks, Xiao Mubai will escape with his tail between his legs, but fortunately it is not.
