Charlie and Faisal passed 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
Charlie, even if something happens in the rescue and pursuit later. When
someone yells by accident, it is hard to be spotted by outsiders.
So Charlie asked Faisal next to him: “How long does your diesel generator
set usually work?”
Faisal hurriedly said respectfully: “Because the government army cut off our
electricity supply, all our electricity is supplied by a set of 50-kilowatt diesel
generator sets. It also has a power storage device.”
“Because the electricity consumption during the day is generally low, we

ensure that the necessary devices operate normally during the day. The
generator sets will be turned on after dark, mainly for lighting and other
purposes. The electric device, and then charge the storage device.”
“It opened early today, mainly because of the poor sunlight on rainy days.”
Charlie 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 the government army, the opposition, or the Kurdish armed forces, 90%
of all wars are ground wars. The planes in the hands of the government forces have long been attacked. 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 we have a large number of civilians here. If they send planes to attack
indiscriminately, they will surely arouse public anger. At that time, it will be more beneficial to our opposition.”
Charlie nodded lightly.
The war in his understanding is a modern war based on the Gulf War pattern.
The core of modern warfare is dominated by the air force, supplemented by the navy and army.
Just like the United States fighting in 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 directly rush in, 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.
Charlie 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 squadron and the flying
squadron. However, the flying squadron only has four armed helicopters, so the main combat effectiveness still
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdepends on my armored squadron.”
Charlie 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 lead a squadron was also that I knew more about tanks, so I
acted more as an instructor. The role does not have much real power.”
Charlie nodded lightly. 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, Charlie came outside a courtyard wall made of
loess. At this time, the courtyard was full of voices, and the communication
between people was basically by shouting.
Moreover, Charlie found 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.
