Chapter: 3155

Ten minutes later, the shelling of Hamid’s position came to a stop. On the battlefield, three thousand soldiers, armed with hundreds of RPG rockets, prepared to charge at Hamid’s defenses once more. They had already been pushed back before, and they knew the enemy’s firepower was fierce. As they launched their second attack, nerves ran high; they were all afraid of being killed.

But orders came down from their commanders. Despite their fear, they had to push forward. Soon, they found themselves back in the firing range of Hamid’s fortifications.

Hamid, seeing the enemy approach, wasted no time and ordered his troops to open fire, aiming to take out as many attackers as possible. The second round of battle was about to begin!

On the attacking side, five soldiers formed a small team. One soldier carried an RPG rocket on his shoulder, while the other four provided cover with machine guns and assault rifles, ensuring that the RPG could hit the enemy fortifications.

This was the only tactic their army had taught them that might work in such a difficult situation. The commander had hoped that just loading the RPG rockets would scare Hamid into retreating or at least cause some damage to his defenses. If they could make him nervous, he would have to commit more troops and resources to the front line, increasing the chances of their flanking maneuver succeeding.

However, what the commander didn’t anticipate was that Hamid’s fortifications were incredibly well built. Each one was reinforced and camouflaged along the slope of the mountain. As the attackers carried their RPGs up from the bottom, the rocket’s trajectory was nearly parallel to the slope, making it hard to hit the target effectively.

The mountain made it hard for the rockets to hit the fortifications accurately. The rockets would either graze the front slope of the fort or hit it at a very shallow angle. For these rockets to be effective, they needed to strike the target head-on, at a 90-degree angle. If they exploded while just grazing the fort, it would be like a scratch—ineffective.

Even if a rocket did hit at such a small angle, it could easily bounce off instead of causing damage. This not only meant that the enemy remained unharmed, but the ricocheting rocket could also accidentally injure Lu Zhanjun’s own men.

Despite this, Lu Zhanjun and his team were using binoculars to mark the locations of Hamid’s fortifications. While observing, Lu Zhanjun said, “We will launch a sneak attack soon. We need to take out these fortifications quickly. If Hamid completes them, his base will be weak, and we will have a better chance of winning!”

The commanders around him confidently agreed, promising to eliminate all the known firepower points. However, they were unaware that the West Wing right in front of them, which seemed undefended, actually had over 30 firepower points set up by Hamid.

Long before Lu Zhanjun’s team arrived, Hamid had already positioned 300 soldiers to ambush them. According to Charlie Wade’s plan for Hamid, the firepower points were connected by tunnels, which were reinforced with multiple firewalls. If the enemy entered through any point in the tunnel, the firewalls would help isolate them in a small area, preventing them from advancing further.
