Chapter: 3129

“That’s true.” After hearing Charlie Wade’s words, Hamid felt a little calmer. He replied awkwardly, “Brother, I’m not afraid of your jokes. Since I joined the revolution, I haven’t faced such a big battle. I’m really a bit nervous…”

“It’s okay,” Charlie Wade reassured him. “Everyone gets nervous in situations like this. Just focus on staying calm.”

Charlie continued, “I think the other side has a clear plan. They know where your base is, and they know you can’t move it, so they will definitely attack your base from all sides. What you need to do now is to be patient!”

“If they start firing at you, don’t fight back with artillery. And don’t send your helicopters or elite troops for a counterattack or sneak attack!”

“Ah? Why not?” Hamid exclaimed. “I was just about to say I plan to send an elite force of three to five hundred men to sneak over and catch them off guard!”

“How could they let you succeed that easily?” Charlie replied. “Don’t even think about it; they’ll be on high alert! Remember, they have 8,000 troops, and they can easily split off 2,000 to cover their artillery. If you send over 300 to 500 men, they could easily trap you. You wouldn’t make it back!”

Hamid was shocked and admitted, “You’re right, brother… I didn’t think this through…”

Charlie then added, “You need to remember one thing. Since the opponent’s commander is smart…”

“Anyone who can command an army of 8,000 people can’t be foolish. Sure, he might underestimate the enemy, but he won’t make a mistake that big. A good commander knows the importance of protecting his artillery and supplies. He won’t give you a chance to attack,” said Charlie Wade.

“You’re right!” Hamid replied earnestly. “If I had dozens of artillery pieces, I would prioritize their defense. I wouldn’t just focus on the front lines and ignore the back. Those artillery pieces are crucial for our firepower.”

Charlie scoffed. “Let him try to blow things up! He can do whatever he wants with his explosives!”

After a moment, he continued, “Doesn’t he have fifty or sixty trucks? Those trucks can’t all be filled with ammunition; they also carry food, medicine, fuel, and other supplies. Even if he has thirty trucks loaded with shells, firing them won’t make a significant impact on your position. You don’t need to be worried.”

“If he’s just shelling, you can all hide in the tunnels on the reverse slope. That way, you won’t suffer any losses from his artillery. Once he runs out of shells, he’ll only have his infantry left. When that happens, his 8,000 soldiers will charge up your hill, but with just 800 defenders, you can hold your ground and win without any casualties!”

“Got it!” Hamid said with determination. “I’ll follow my brother’s advice!”

Charlie added, “Also, keep an eye out for when his armored vehicles start covering the infantry as they advance toward your base. That’s when you should have your best troops come out from the tunnels to defend the front fortifications.”

“And remember to…”

“Now is the time to counterattack. You must never shoot too early. Wait for the enemy to get within your effective range!”

“Firing at close range not only ensures that you can effectively hit the enemy, but it also stops their artillery from freely supporting them. Your soldiers, protected by permanent fortifications, can withstand most artillery attacks. On the other hand, the enemy soldiers have little protection—just their helmets. If they get caught in the artillery’s damage zone, there will be many casualties.”
