The planes took off one after another, dividing into two echelons in the air, one in front of the other, heading towards Hamid.
Government soldiers, numbering 5,000, were just under forty kilometers away from Hamid's position, fully mobile and expected to reach their intended location in 40 minutes.
In Hamid's base, activity was frenzied, with over 140 blast points controlled by 14 blasters and engineers, each with a location and number marked, and a special channel on their walkie-talkies.
Once the enemy appeared, scouts would use the walkie-talkie channel to inform the need to detonate the blast points, and the blasters would immediately explode the designated points within their control range.
Hamid's scouts were also concentrating on each road into the mountains, using drones to observe the area, although night drone observation was reduced.
But if the enemy had a large mobile march, there would certainly be lights, and lights in the dark mountains would be easier to find, even in the night.
Walter, sitting in the cockpit, was observing the ground outside the window, seeing only a few scattered points of light in the vast hilly areas, mostly villages or belonging to small-scale opposition groups.
The pilots of the aircraft were soldiers of the Cataclysmic Front, as the Syrian Air Force pilots were not experienced enough to fly, so Walter had removed them with his own people.
The captain spoke up, saying, "Commander, we will arrive at the jump position in twenty minutes." Walter looked out the window, thinking, "This place is too backward, many villages in the hilly areas are not connected to electricity yet.".
The captain nodded, saying, "Most of the points of light we can observe from above are torches burning in the villages, but anyone who has access to electricity is basically the opposition forces, and only they can afford to use generators.".
Walter smacked his lips, saying, "I really can't understand, fighting these backward-armed people, how can they kill our brothers ... there is a strong sense of the unknown in my heart, getting me a little distracted.".
The captain said, "Commander, you don't have to worry too much, we lost the war during the day, mainly because we were light on the enemy, plus the enemy fortifications were there, we really don't have the advantage.".
"But the night raid, they certainly can't cope with!" Walter nodded slightly, saying "I hope we can wipe them out in one fell swoop this time with our divine army!!!".
Ten minutes later, the alert light inside the cabin came on, signaling the soldiers to prepare for jump, so they got up and checked each other's parachute bags.
Twenty minutes later, as the planes arrived at their jumping positions one after another, batch after batch of soldiers fell from the sky, raining down towards Hamid's position.
Before the first paratrooper had even landed, Hamid was alerted by the scouts that they had spotted the parachutists jumping through the night sky with thermal imaging equipment.
So, everyone was pumped up and waiting for the gang to throw themselves at each other once again!
