Ye Chen and Faisal walked through the central square together, and the roar of diesel generators in his ears became more and more deafening.
Under such a loud mechanical noise, ordinary people have difficulty talking, so that many other voices around them are covered up. This is a good thing for Ye Chen, even if something happens in the rescue and pursuit later. Accidentally, someone yells and is hard to be spotted by outsiders
So Ye Chen asked Faisal next to him: “How long does your diesel generator set usually work?”
Faisal said hurriedly and respectfully: “Because the government army cut off our electricity supply here, all our electricity is supplied by a set of 50-kilowatt diesel generator sets. It also has a set of power storage equipment. ”
“Because the electricity consumption during the day is generally small, we generally do not develop motors during the day. We use power storage equipment to ensure that the necessary equipment operates normally during the day. The generator sets will be turned on after dark, mainly for lighting and other purposes. Electric equipment, and then charge the storage equipment”
“It was opened early today, mainly because of the poor sunlight on cloudy and rainy days”
Ye Chen asked curiously, “If you make this place brightly lit at night, aren’t you afraid that the government will send planes to bomb it?”
Faisal explained: “In Syria, whether it is government forces, opposition parties, or Kurdish forces, 90% of all wars are ground wars. The planes in the hands of government forces have long been hit. Now, the remaining few old fighter planes are guarding Damascus and the southern province of Dar’a. They don’t dare to send them out to fight, and there are a large number of civilians here. If they send planes to attack indiscriminately, they will surely arouse public anger. , Then it will be more beneficial to our opposition”
Ye Chen nodded gently
The war in his understanding is a modern war based on the Gulf War
The core of modern warfare is dominated by the air force, supplemented by the navy and army.
Just like the United States is fighting Iraq, the two armies do not need to engage in short-handed combat. First use fighter jets to fight and seize air supremacy, and then use bombers to carry precision-guided bombs to destroy the enemy’s key defense forces and military industry one by one. , After the opponent is completely paralyzed, a large number of ground troops will directly enter, and they will be able to drive straight into the direct occupation
However, it now appears that in places like Syria, the method of warfare is basically the same as that of World War II. The two armies mainly rely on the ground forces to fight head-on, and the air force can have little influence.
Ye Chen remembered that Faisal was the captain of the armored brigade, so he asked him: “Faisal, since 90% of the wars here are ground wars, then your armored brigade must have an extraordinary identity and status. ?”
Faisal nodded and said truthfully: “Our two most important forces are the armored brigade and the flying brigade. However, the flying brigade has only four armed helicopters, so the main combat effectiveness still depends on my armored brigade.”
Ye Chen asked curiously: “Faisal, since you can be the captain of the armored brigade, should you rank higher in this armed force?”
Faisal said hurriedly: “Actually, my armored squadron was completely commanded and dispatched by the commander during the war. The reason why I was able to be a squadron was also because I knew more about tanks, so I was more of an instructor. Role without too much real power”
Ye Chen nodded gently. Since the armored brigade is the core combat power here, it is reasonable to be dispatched directly to the commander.
Under the leadership of Faisal, Ye Chen and him came outside a courtyard wall of loess. At this time, the courtyard was full of people, and the communication between people was basically by shouting.
Moreover, Ye Chen discovered that the languages they spoke were different. Some spoke English, some spoke French, and some others spoke a language that he didn’t understand at all. It should be Arabic.
