Hamed's enemies did not know that at this point, instead of mostly getting killed by the bombing, Hamed's army was getting braver and braver as the sound of the bombing continued. 2

At this time, Hamed was also gaining confidence when he saw that the bombing seemed to have little effect on the reverse slope fortifications. 2

As he listened to the rumbling of the artillery outside, he thought emotionally to himself, 'If it weren't for Brother Charlie who taught me about the reverse slope fortifications, I am afraid that the lives of my several thousand men would have already been completely accounted for during the first two rounds of artillery bombardment!'

'The movie that Brother Charlie made me watch was really a classic textbook-like battle. The great volunteer army was able to achieve the final victory in this battle against the United States' millions of bombardments. It was not only because they were brave and good at fighting, but it was also because of their superb strategic vision and their advanced tactical arrangements!'

'After I get through this battle, I'll dig up all the mountains around this area and build a super strong

fortress here!'

At this time, the troops from the government continued bombing.

They carried up to tens of thousands of artillery and more than thirty cannons. So, it was not a problem for them to shoot hundreds of rounds.

Moreover, their infantry was still advancing. So, during this period of time, the artillery bombing continued at an interval of every three minutes.

After twenty rounds of bombing, most of the bases in the valley had already been razed to the ground, and there were only a few houses that were left standing alone.

Some of the soldiers carefully came to the entrance of the tunnel to observe the damage that had been done to the base.

When they discovered that their base had already been razed to the ground, many of their eyes were flushed red. They clenched their fists and teeth, and their hearts were filled with hatred. Perhaps that shabby little courtyard was a nightmare to Sheldon, but to these soldiers, those little courtyards and those houses were their homes.

And now, their homes had already been completely blown up by the enemy!

Just as many of the soldiers were angrily harboring hatred and the will to avenge their losses, a new round of bombing came! 2

This time, the bombs did not fall onto the almost flattened base again, but they landed directly on the periphery of the mountain on the south side of the base, which was the frontal slope of the mountain. This was because in the other party's conventional knowledge and perception, they felt that most of Hamed's soldiers, food, ammunition, and other supplies and materials should be placed inside their base. So, the reason why the previous bombardment had gone on for such a long time was so that they could destroy their base as well as all of their supplies and equipment completely.

The other party also knew clearly that Hamed's main defensive force should be concentrated on the frontal slope of the mountain. So, after destroying the base, they then started to destroy Hamed's defensive positions.

They thought that as long as they used strong firepower to destroy all of Hamed's defensive forces on the frontal slope, their armored vehicles and infantry would be able to drive straight in!

This way, the infantries basically only needed to come and do a final sweep, and the war would basically be over.

However, what they did not know was that there was already a very big difference between Hamed's armed forces and those other similar armed forces.

Before Hamed had gotten to know Charlie, Hamed's base fortification was to dig up some foxholes on the frontal slope of the mountain before building a firing stack with stones and then using hay to make a concealed roof on top.

This kind of fortification was very simple. If you were to deal with the enemy's infantry at a high place, it would not be an issue to deal with them using AK47 bullets. Moreover, they would actually have a very big advantage. 3

However, if the other party engaged in fire suppression and if they used mortars or RPG rocket launchers, this kind of foxhole would basically be equivalent to paper, and it would simply end up becoming the best grave for the soldiers.

Now, the government was intensively bombing the frontal slope in order to dismantle Hamed's defense forces as quickly as they could. 3 However, they never would have dreamt that Hamed would have just completely transformed and remodeled his frontal fortifications. 4
