Hamid asked in surprise: “Brother, how do you know all of this?”

Charlie hummed, and then asked: “Does the other party have air support?”

“No.” Hamid said: “There are only ten government forces in total. A few tattered Su-24s. Most of them stay in the hangar and aren’t able to fly. Those that can fly have to defend the capital and are occasionally used to defend against terrorist attacks. They can’t spare any of their air support at all. It also would not make much sense, since it would be nothing more than dropping a bomb.” Hamid said again: “As for the gunship, I’m not afraid of them coming. Their gunship performance is not very good. I have a lot of shoulder-mounted missiles here. So it’s easy to hit their helicopters. I don’t think they are willing to take the chance with their helicopters being sent to die.”

Charlie sighed in relief and said: “So it seems, there is a high probability of a ground war, then you should not worry for the moment.”

Charlie said again: “I suggest you observe the opponent’s intention first, because the opponent’s numbers themselves give them a great advantage. If they wanted to attack, they would not bring so much artillery, so their strategic intention should follow strategies from ten years ago, the land warfare between countries was always the same. They must want to fight you using infantry and artillery coordination!”

Hamid asked hurriedly, “What is infantry and artillery coordination?”

Charlie said: “It is infantry and artillery fighting together. It means that when the artillery has finished bombing the infantry will charge, and the infantry cannot charge while the artillery bombardment is ongoing. In your current situation, the other party should plan to use artillery to cover you with shelling first. After they blow up the base, halve the personnel, and cut the combat power in half, Then they will use armored vehicles to destroy your infantry.”
