Chapter 688: All the missiles are in place
The town of Al is a small town located on the border between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
This town is also famous among the two countries.
Because the two countries once broke out a war because of this town.
It was the seventies of the last century, and a military conflict broke out here between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
In order to fight for control of the town, in fact, the town was under the control of Yemen at that time.
The two sides have a territorial dispute here, and the war broke out because of this.
The course of the war was very short, the Saudi air force first launched an air attack on the town, then a ground attack, and then a defensive line to reinforce.
At that time, the Yemeni army was also unable to regain control of the region, and the final result was that the town was firmly controlled by Saudi Arabia.
Now, the town of Al is also used as the main forward base for Saudi ground forces, and on the map, the location of this town is a prominent structure against Yemen and completely aimed at the core area controlled by the Houthis.
In the town, the main armored forces of the Saudi Army are also concentrated in this town.
From the border line to the town, Arab League forces have carried out layers of defense to prevent cross-border sneak attacks by Houthis, and four battalions of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems have also been deployed here to prevent Houthi rocket and missile attacks.
The level of defense is extremely high, who let this place, with a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, gather a third of the main forces of the Saudi Army.
On the day when the Saudi Air Force collapsed and sank, it caused a huge shock at the top level of Saudi Arabia and also aroused heated discussions in the international community.
Here in the town, it was calm, because the king had issued an order for the frontline troops to remain vigilant against a Houthi counterattack, and at the same time ordered all army units to make a final rest and be ready to fight.
Saudi Arabia, unwilling to accept the huge losses of the air force, could not wait for the reply of its allies and wanted to launch a ground military operation against Yemen alone.
However, neither Saudi ground forces nor the armies of other Arab League countries deployed on the border would have imagined that the Houthis would use special operations to infiltrate them.
After all, the Houthis are only an irregular armed force, and such an armed force simply does not have the strength to train special professional special operations forces.
Internationally, there is no information that the Houthis have hired mercenaries, so the defense of the border is still focused on preventing a sneak attack by a large Houthi force.
More importantly, the enemy does not come from the front, the forces of the sneak attack come from the rear.
That night, a Saudi Army logistics convoy arrived in the town, and today it was the eighteenth logistics convoy, all trucks carrying weapons and ammunition.
The soldiers of the Saudi guard post in the town did not find anything wrong, and after looking at the documents, they were directly released.
Several trucks loaded into the town's station, and in the huge station, the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system can be seen on the four air defense positions in the front, rear, left and right.
A large number of Saudi soldiers in the garrison also naturally walked around the garrison, and they all looked quite leisurely.
No one paid attention to the trucks that entered the station, and the four trucks in the convoy were naturally parked on the edge of each anti-aircraft missile launch position, and there were parking positions around the station, so no one cared.
When the vehicle stopped, a quartermaster officer from the station came over and asked the motorist who opened the cab door and got down, "What supplies are on board?" ”
"There are some weapons, ammunition and medicines on the car, which will be put into storage and unloaded tomorrow." The auto soldier said as he delivered his list to the quartermaster.
"Call your people to rest together, and come over on time to unload tomorrow morning at eight o'clock." The quartermaster looked at the list stamped with the logistics stamp, nodded, and handed the motor corpsmen a key to the barracks.
Looking at the quartermaster who turned to leave, the auto soldier threw away the key in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and wandered around the garrison without any scruples, and gathered with several other so-called auto soldiers.
"Brothers, chill out in one of the town's bars." A few motorists formed a group and walked towards the outside of the station.
When they passed the gate of the garrison, the sentry standing guard only glanced at them as if they had seen nothing.
Getting in and out of the barracks was quite easy, and there were no surprises, because every night, many officers and soldiers from the garrison would go to the town's bars to relax.
Saudi Arabia strictly prohibits alcohol, so the so-called bar in the town is actually a so-called tradition that the Saudi army learned from the United States, because there is no alcohol in the bar, it is said to be a bar, but in fact it is full of juice.
Just to come out and relax, not to stay in the depressive barracks.
A few motorists disappeared at the gate of the camp, did not go to the town and juice, and disappeared directly from the eyes of everyone in the town.
At the same time, the other three major army positions on the Saudi-Yemeni border have similar images.
The arrival of a large number of logistical materials caused many logistical vehicles that had not yet had time to unload their goods to be parked in the station, without attracting anyone's attention.
At the same time, in many parts of Yemen, unusual events are unfolding.
In the complex hills and mountains of Yemen, missile launchers slowly drove out of the caves and stopped at the mouth of the caves.
On the plains of northwestern Yemen, on the calm ground, a huge camouflage is opened, and on the flat ground, there is a huge downward slope, and in the middle of the slope is a missile launcher parked inside.
On the outskirts of many towns, in inconspicuous places, perfectly camouflaged silos, masticular covers disguised as the ground rose and moved away, slowly revealing the true face of the silos.
These silos are not those large ICBM silos, they are all small missile silos only seven or eight meters deep, and the structure is also very simple, and there is no underground equipment as complex as nuclear missiles, only a deep well to accommodate missiles, and there is a remote control ignition device underneath, and no other equipment exists.
While a large number of missiles were ready to be launched, everyone in the temporary command headquarters where 009 was located was patiently waiting for the best time to attack.
This is a counterattack that is destined to shock the whole world, not to mention that Saudi Arabia could not have imagined, even all countries in the world would not have imagined that there would be so many tactical missiles in a place like Yemen.
"The news confirms that the goods are in place and the delivery person has left safely." In the temporary headquarters, there was news that made everyone excited.
