Chapter 2441 (2/2)
The mountains along the border line are not very high, and there is an extreme lack of rainfall all year round, so there are neither common mountain rivers in the rain rich area nor shrubs that hinder the line of sight. They are all bare stone mountains. These conditions are extremely unfavorable for concealment, but the advantage is that simple dirt roads can be easily opened up in the mountains, Enough for off-road vehicles to drive conveniently in the mountains.
Now it is necessary to confirm the roads. The mountain paths extend in all directions. To accurately and quickly reach the scheduled assembly area, it is impossible to use the battle map, because these paths will not appear on the battle map at all. Only by using GPS and satellite map can we reach the destination as soon as possible.
The border between Shah and Yemen is demarcated on the top of a small mountain range.
The mountain is not high, and there are hundreds of meters above sea level. It is impossible for the mechanized troops of Shah to climb over the top of the mountain to enter Yemen. However, naijilan city is built on both sides of the river valley of naijilangan river. The urban area is all on a flat low-lying desert. In fact, this desert is the sand accumulated during the occasional flooding of naijilangan River, and there is a large area of sand to the south of the urban area at the west end of naijilan city, Down the sand all the way to the south, the flat sand narrows to show the original appearance of a river valley, which will pass through the mountains and directly enter the territory of Yemen.
For the Shah army, the dry river valley to the south of najilan city is a natural highway. As long as it crosses the mountains from the river valley into Yemen, individual hills can no longer form a geographical obstacle to the Shah mechanized army. Tanks or vehicles can pass freely on the flat ground at the bottom of the mountains.
If the Shah's mechanized troops set out from the city of najilan, they can even use the highway before reaching the border of Yemen. They only need to leave the highway and drive in the valley when entering the narrow valley in the mountains. In terms of time, the Shah's troops can reach the border line from najilan in ten minutes at most. The time is so fast and the distance is so short.
Therefore, what Gao Yang has to do is very simple, that is, to monitor the river valley that can go directly south. If the Shah army wants to enter the river valley, it has to fight.
Shah will certainly make use of the river valley, and Yemen will naturally try its best to defend. Therefore, recently, husai armed forces have deployed a large number of troops to the border. Of course, Shah will not relax his vigilance for the extremely important river valley channel. Now both sides have deployed a large number of infantry on the mountains on both sides of the river valley.
The infantry on the Shah side only plays a role of vigilance and prevention, but the light infantry on the husai armed side will bear an important task. They have to prevent the Shah army on the najilan front line from entering Yemen through the river valley, which should not have been undertaken by the light infantry.
However, the two sides of the confrontation can only monitor and guard each other. In Gao Yang's view, the husai armed forces, which are extremely lack of heavy firepower, should at least plant a large number of mines in the river valley, which can effectively delay the assault of the Shah mechanized forces, but the husai armed forces have no intention of laying mines at all, even if the husai armed forces can get a large number of mines from Iran.
The Shah side did not send infantry to seize the valley first, nor did it mean to clean up the highlands on both sides of the valley.
The two sides deployed a large number of troops on an extremely important road, and then just looked at it.
Fearing that the air raid would lead to insecurity on the road, Satan's time to enter the border mountainous area from Sana'a was delayed for a full week. Originally, Gao Yang began to feel that it was meaningless to go to the border again. However, after discovering that the Shah and husai armed forces had big eyes and small eyes on the border, he felt that he should come, Because he was worried that the northwest defense line armed by husai would be completely destroyed with a single stab.
What Gao Yang wants to do now is to see with his own eyes what is going on on on the border. If possible, he hopes to lead the husai armed forces to delay the Shah's offensive as much as possible. It is impossible to fight for the husai armed forces. It is good to watch the door for the husai armed forces and resist for a period of time.
