Chapter 2661
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 generally do not use motors during the day. We use power storage devices to 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 depends 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.

Charlie asked Faisal, “Don’t you have a unified language here?”
Faisal shook his head: “The unified language should be Arabic, but the composition of our opposition soldiers is more complicated, so many of us don’t speak Arabic.”
“Some of these people have lived in other countries since they were young, and some have lived in former colonial areas. so they are English or French, so the language between them is not completely smooth.”
“Like myself, I actually went to the United States with my parents when I was very young, and I took a green card and served in the U.S. Army for three years. Only a few years ago I responded to the call and came back to join the Freedom Army. So my basic Arabic It’s very poor, and basically, I only communicate in English.”
Charlie nodded. This multilingual situation is just like India. A considerable number of Indians do not speak Hindi. Even each state in India has its own official language, plus it was once a British colony. So English is also one of the official languages.
However, this kind of language confusion is relatively friendly to him. The more confused the language landscape, the easier it is for him to mix in.
So he said to Faisal: “After you go in, remember to act by chance and don’t let people see the clues.”
Faisal hurriedly said, “Please rest assured, I will give my all!”
Charlie gave a hum, pointed to the courtyard gate, and said, “Go in!”
“OK!”
Faisal stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door.
In the yard at this time, more than a dozen soldiers carrying AK47s were grilling around a campfire to warm up. On the campfire, two legs of lamb were worn with wooden sticks. At this time, they were already roasted with oil and smelled really delicious.
Charlie followed Faisal in, and one of the soldiers recognized Faisal and blurted out, “Captain Faisal, would you like to have some barbecue? Ansala’s mother also made some pita bread, and it’ll be ready soon.”
Faisal waved his hand: “I won’t eat anymore, I’m here to see the hostage situation.”
As soon as the man heard this, he immediately said with a grin: “Captain Faisal, are you interested in those women? But I have to make it clear to you that the commander has given the order without his permission. No one can fool around!”
Faisal said immediately: “Don’t talk nonsense! I just come to see the situation, go back to report to the commander, and open the cellar entrance quickly!”
The man nodded hurriedly, turned to greet a soldier, and together? Bend over and opened a thick wooden board from the ground. Then, a staircase made of loess appeared under the wooden board, and the man respectfully treated Faisal. Said: “Captain, please come in!”
Faisal nodded in satisfaction, and led Charlie to the entrance. The man took out a flashlight. After turning it on, Faisal said graciously: “Captain, the stairs are not lighted and are dark. I will be in front leading the way, watch your steps!”
Faisal glanced at Charlie, and when he saw Charlie nodding to him quietly, he agreed and said, “Okay, you can lead the way!”
