As the first group of 500 men, one after another, landed near the summit prism of the south wing, another group of 500 men, also leaping from the aircraft, began to drift down towards the summit prism of the north wing.
As parachute jumpers are affected by wind, direction and personal control, it is difficult for them to jump to the same area at the same time. So they had to land individually near the target and then move together in all directions towards the target area.
Generally speaking, parachutists have to prevent their parachutes from entangling with each other in the air, so they themselves maintain a safe distance from other comrades, so it is normal to be off by hundreds or thousands of metres when landing.
Especially at night, it is not strange to be off by even a few thousand metres.
Therefore, the first thing the first 500 people did after landing was to quickly assemble towards the target area.
However. To their surprise, they did not spot any defending soldiers as they parachuted down and assembled in motion. Nor did they spot any enemy concealed fortifications.
Looking at the whole mountain peak through their night vision devices, they did not find any traces of the enemy, except for their own men with special markings on their bodies.
Some soldiers carrying thermal imagers also immediately started to check around, but still nothing was found.
The reason why they could not see any enemy was because Hamid's soldiers were at the moment hidden inside the bunker fortifications on the sloping sides of the mountain, and the thermal imaging equipment used to observe the summit was also fed into the fortifications through signal lines, so the whole summit prism was in an undefended state at the moment.
When the commander reported this situation in real time to Chen Zhonglei, who was circling in a large circle at high altitude, Chen Zhonglei was not too surprised.
If it were himself, he would not have wasted his energy defending the top of the mountain when the front and back slopes were so solid, after all, under normal circumstances, one had to pass through the front slope to break through to the top.
So he immediately reminded his frontline commanders that they must take advantage of the enemy's negligence in defending the summit. The assembly would be completed as soon as possible, and then the first echelon would hit the assault first, while the second echelon would take the opportunity to encircle from the north side. The enemy will be directly blocked in the pit and eliminated.
Chen Zhonglei had followed Wan Breaking Army all the way to the present, and he had fought many similar assault battles.
He understood one thing very well. When fighting a hidden fortification, if your side is far away from the fortification, the other side has the advantage, but if your side is very close to the fortification. But if your side is very close to the fortifications, then your side has the advantage.
During the war in the southwest, once the enemy was blocked in the cat-ear hole, there was almost no way out but to die. A few grenades from our soldiers could turn their cat-ear holes into their graves.
Therefore, Chen Zhonglei had his mind made up at this moment. Tonight, Hamid's men would be completely annihilated!
The first echelon of 500 paratroopers quickly assembled, thinking that they had been very successful in their infiltration. Little did they know that they were now completely exposed to Hamid's surveillance.
And, to Hamid's excitement, there were six bursting points that could be covered near the area where they were assembling.
And those were buried with powerful explosives that could break rocks!
Twenty minutes later, the first echelon of soldiers had assembled. At the same time, the second echelon of soldiers had also finished parachuting and started to assemble.
