After nightfall, the military airport in Damascus was bustling with activity.
To transport 1,000 soldiers of the Cataclysmic Front to Hamid's base, all available transport planes in Syria were mobilized, along with two cargo planes from civil aviation.
A total of six planes were responsible for tonight's flight, and Walter selected the strongest 1,000 elites from the 8,000 soldiers of the Cataclysmic Front, equipping them with top-grade weapons and gear.
To ensure a swift and successful battle, Walter issued his strongest 1,000 soldiers with high-end equipment, including the best individual weapon, a bulletproof vest, a lightweight helmet, night vision goggles, and thermal imagers.
This top-grade standard equipment is expensive and difficult to obtain, even for the Cataclysmic Front.
Walter believed that the night vision equipment was a crucial advantage, as soldiers with night vision devices can operate effectively in low-light environments.
The soldiers also wore strong protective gear, ensuring they could withstand any fire coverage and minimally risk injury or death.
In addition, Walter equipped the 1,000 soldiers with incendiary grenades, a cruel weapon that can cause extreme damage.
Incendiary grenades, similar to napalm, produce a high-temperature reaction upon detonation, capable of melting steel.
If two of these grenades were thrown into a nearly enclosed shelter, it would be sufficient to burn the soldiers inside to charcoal.
If the shelter is large, the bomb will continue to burn, leading to oxygen depletion and suffocation.
Walter believed that using incendiary grenades to attack Hamid's hidden fortifications was the most effective tactic.
With superior weapons, vision, defense, and combat power, he expected his 1,000 elites to inflict significant damage on the enemy.
In the barracks next to the airport, the 5,000 government soldiers were also preparing for battle.
This was Walter's third line of defense, in case the airborne soldiers faced a fierce battle, the perimeter troops would swiftly advance and annihilate the enemy.
The 5,000 soldiers did not use daytime battle plans, opting instead to quickly deploy nearly 100 types of vehicles and march towards Hamid's base.
When the 1,000 elites were checking their equipment, the 5,000 government soldiers had already left, setting off earlier to ensure they arrived at Hamid's base in time.
As the soldiers boarded the planes, Walter was still explaining the tactical plan, emphasizing the importance of utilizing their advantages and ensuring mission success.
At 1:00 a.m., the soldiers carrying parachute packs began boarding the plane, followed by Walter himself, who would receive real-time battlefield information and provide tactical guidance.
With Walter's strategic guidance, the 1,000 elites were prepared to drop onto Hamid's base, ensuring a swift and decisive victory.
