When young people in other countries use drones worth a few thousand dollars to blindly shoot landscapes in outdoor wilderness, Hamid's men used this inconspicuous thing to achieve a local battlefield monitoring with complete stagnation of the device in the air.
The advantage of complete stasis is that the drone can remain stationary in the sky and closely observe the target unlike the US Global Hawk which needs to constantly fly in circles around the target.
Hamid had already made tactical arrangements.
He analyzed that the opponent should not exceed 1200 people at most through picture transmission signals coming back from the sky.
They were going to encircle them from the west flank so he had already sent down orders to send 300 more soldiers to defend permanent fortifications on the west flank.
Although 300 soldiers are not much but using timing and location it is still more than enough to defend against the attack of more than 1000 soldiers.
The permanent fortifications built by Hamid although not yet fully constructed were specially camouflaged externally.
The camouflaged fortifications if it does not fire even if you pass by it 10 times it is almost impossible to detect.
The firing holes of these fortifications had been blocked in advance with a large number of fist-sized pieces of rubble and then covered with a layer of loess from the outside.
Moreover when they did the camouflage they also left a few doorway-like gaps from the inside.
With this small gap alone the people inside can easily observe the situation outside.
And this camouflage made of rubble is also very convenient and easy to remove.
Once you want to shoot you only need to pick up the rubble with your hands you can pick up all the rubble and immediately after that you can put the gun out and fire with full force.
If Robin encircled from the west flank he would just pass through these hidden fortifications and by then all of his men would be exposed to the crossfire of the machine guns.
However he did not know this.
He only thought that he had to hurry to take down Hamid and use a victory to cover up his mistake just now.
This time after coming to Syria they have been taking it easy.
Always feel that the opposition forces are just a bunch of third-world bandits without much military education not much stronger than the Somali pirates.
The elite came to fight these guerrillas with AKs it was as easy as pie.
Therefore they did not make adequate preparations before the battle nor did they carry very expensive high-end weaponry.
For the Front soldiers at this moment the RPG shoulder-fired rocket was the most powerful weapon they had on hand.
However Robin felt that the RPG was enough.
