Chapter 445: Departure
As the last rays of the sunset dissipated, dozens of rebel officers and soldiers crawled out of the bomb shelter one after another.
Some began to repair the damaged positions, some were getting their hands on equipment for dinner, and some were checking their weapons, and none of them were lazy.
The only officer was using a telescope to observe the situation to the east.
Behind him, stood a communicator with a radio on his back.
The checkpoint is located on the southern slope of the road, about 200 meters from the road, and it is not only condescending, but also capable of digging air-raid shelters for officers and soldiers to hide.
On the highway, there is simply nowhere to hide.
For these rebel officers and soldiers, the days that have just passed have been nothing short of ordealing.
Although it is dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield, the fighters that pass by will fly over and sweep the defensive positions on the hillside with machine guns.
In the afternoon, several A-5PGs dropped unused bombs.
The fighters flew very low, almost clinging to the top of the hill, completely bullying the rebels on the ground with no weapons against them.
It is true that no, this is only an infantry platoon, and the only two heavy machine guns are not yet capable of firing in the air.
It's just that these rebels had long expected to be bombed, and dug bomb shelters in time, and they were all hidden, and they were not discovered by fighters.
There was nothing to the east and it was very calm.
It's just that the second lieutenant platoon commander with a telescope does not know that the danger does not come from the east.
By the time the second lieutenant heard the unusual noise, the communicator standing behind him had collapsed, a hole the size of a fist in his forehead.
Immediately after, gunshots rang out.
It's scattered and comes from all directions.
The second lieutenant reacted immediately, knowing that there was a surprise attack and that the enemy was nearby, only he had not seen it yet.
Immediately afterwards, the second lieutenant thought of the communicator, the radio, to be exact.
This is a vigilant force, and their mission is to monitor the road and report anomalies as soon as they are detected, and a surprise attack is certainly an anomaly.
The second lieutenant crawled over and grabbed the radio on the communicator's back.
As he managed to take the radio off, a hard object landed on the back of his head.
It's the muzzle.
Raise the alarm, or raise your hands in surrender?
The lieutenant only hesitated, and before he could make his decision, he received a blow to the head and passed out.
"Idiot!"
With a muffled curse, the man who attacked the lieutenant crouched down and picked up the radio.
It's a scout-specific digital radio, standard American with an emergency send button on it, and a signal will be emitted when pressed down.
Unfortunately, the second lieutenant visibly hesitated.
It was Zhang Zilan who attacked him, and it was Xie Chuyue, who was lying in ambush a few hundred meters away, who killed the communicator.
By this time, the other operatives had killed all the rebel soldiers.
The gunfire was loud, but it certainly could not be heard from a distance of several tens of kilometers.
What's more, the rebels launched another onslaught at night, and the fighting on the Semavo side was in full swing, and no one paid attention to the checkpoint dozens of kilometers away.
When Zhang Zilan changed into a second lieutenant's military uniform, Xie Chuyue rushed over.
The rest of the operatives have changed into rebel uniforms and are disposing of the rebels' corpses by simply stuffing them into bomb shelters dug by the rebels.
Disguised as a rebel, just in case.
At this time, the Nasiriyah command.
Seeing Wang Haotian come in, Wang Dong shook his head at him and asked him not to speak.
At his desk, Nanigel was talking to Razak on the phone.
“…… Got it...... Be...... Please rest assured that we will do our best...... Be...... The operational deployment has been arranged and will be ready within 24 hours...... Got it...... Be...... I will report back as soon as possible, and the results will be available by tomorrow evening at the latest...... Got it...... Resolutely complete the mission! ”
After saying the last sentence, Nanijel put down the microphone and let out a sigh.
Then, he nodded at Wang Dong.
"I just received the news that the rebel outpost has been captured, and there have been no accidents." At this time, Wang Hao only spoke.
Wang Dong didn't say anything, and looked at Nanijer.
"The Prime Minister has given me decision-making authority on the battlefield, and I will directly command Semavo's combat operations without reporting to him. According to the arrangement you made, I only told the Prime Minister that the action will be taken by tomorrow evening, and I did not mention that it will be this evening. ”
"Is there any news from Faisal?" Wang Dong looked at Wang Haotian.
"Half an hour ago, the two Saudi brigades set off and will arrive in Nasiriyah in the early hours of tomorrow morning, according to the plan, and our side has also made arrangements."
"So, we're ready to go."
Wang Haotian nodded, looked at his watch again, and then said, "We still have two and a half hours, but it's enough to get to Semavo." ”
Wang Dong didn't ramble anymore and called Nani Gel to leave the office.
Wang Haotian did not leave with Wang Dong, he stayed in Nasiriyah and was in charge of intelligence support to ensure that the information provided by Yunlong could be obtained in a timely manner.
The time window is only three hours!
According to the information provided by Yunlong, the Russian reconnaissance satellite left half an hour ago, and another reconnaissance satellite will arrive two and a half hours later.
Although there is enough reason to believe that Russia did not directly provide intelligence to the rebels, at most it only leaked the information to Iran, and it will definitely take time to pass it on during this period, but for the sake of insurance, Wang Dong believes that it is necessary to avoid Russian reconnaissance satellites and use the time window to complete the assault.
For this reason, the assault troops set off only half an hour earlier.
At this time, it was about twenty kilometers west of Nasiriyah.
There were three battalions in total, the armored battalion and the mechanized infantry battalion were Wang Dong's forbidden troops, and the other was the Saudi engineering battalion that arrived with the supply convoy during the day.
In fact, this engineering battalion only came with a few hundred officers and men, and did not bring engineering equipment.
Wang Dong provided dozens of armored vehicles for them to follow the assault force.
An hour later, Wang Dong and Nanijer's military vehicle caught up with the assault force.
Afterwards, they passed through the outpost occupied by Xie Chuyue and them.
Of course, dozens of officers and soldiers from the mechanized infantry battalion replaced Xie Chuyue and others.
Forty kilometers to the west, the rebels were still storming Semavo, and the fighting was fierce, with the flames from the explosions almost lighting up the night sky.
You can see it from dozens of kilometers away!
The rebels did not even notice the assault force coming from the east, and they did not know that danger was imminent, let alone prepared for defense.
At this time, King Khalid Military City.
Dozens of Royal Saudi Air Force fighter jets, as well as more than 30 JF-17s, are taking to the skies one after another, and they will bombard the rebels outside Semavo in an hour.
Fifteen minutes later, more than 30 A-5PGs deployed at Nasiriyah airbase will also be lifted into the air.
Two days after the rebels launched a surprise attack, the government army led by Wang Dong and Nanijer finally went to the battlefield and joined the battle!
