Before the lieutenant colonel could move, he felt the pain of being scratched with his arms. His perspective shook again, and then he fell heavily on the rubble; he could vaguely hear his heavy breathing, and several soldiers wearing khaki camouflage uniforms, helmets and gas masks appeared in front of him. He was dizzy and barely recognized that these were all Syrian government forces. Hatam, who was hit by the explosion, felt relieved.

After the fierce battle, it was a lifelong explanation. If you eat a few bullets, you may not have to endure this difficult pain anymore...

Having just experienced a stubborn resistance, the explosion of the tail stable grenade fired by the ztz-96 tank was affected. Lieutenant Colonel Hatam, who was injured, had no strength to pull the self-detonation grenade, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for death.

The soldiers of the rebel officers just discovered that they were also very interested in shooting directly. The two or three people next to them picked up the AK-12 and planned to directly punish the Liberal officer who must be full of evil. However, the company commander who led the team quickly got the news and came to stop the other people's actions. A government captain took off his gas mask and briefly checked the situation of Hatam. He recognized that the person was a Liberal officer with a high position, so he waved his hand and asked someone to call the medical staff to deal with it.

He led the team to attack, but was soon overwhelmed by the government's tide offensive. Lieutenant Colonel Katam's stubborn resistance came to an abrupt end. The so-called elite force he was responsible for, the Liberal Aleppo Independence Regiment, was already defeated by the Damascus army and fled in all directions.

This siege broke out in the early morning, after defeating the Liberal defenders on the outer defense line, the battles on the edge of the city were almost the same routine as those encountered by the rebel independent regiments.

Originally, relying on the number of troops and certain advantages of weapons and equipment, the Liberal Party regime in Aleppo was still somewhat confident. After the simple and naive defense plan was issued, the "capital" was defended by tens of thousands of troops, and almost no marginal block was stationed by Liberal armed forces. In addition, mobile troops were arranged seriously, and they acted as if they wanted to fight street fighting and long-term wars.

The troops are evenly distributed and the reserve team is arranged behind the front line. The Liberal Party, which seems simple and crude, actually has many highlights of the battle arrangement. If Damascus really wants to attack in a full-scale manner, it will probably cost a considerable price.

However, as the saying goes, "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations." Facing the Liberal Party's iron barrel formation, the Syrian government forces launched the general attack adopted a tactic of tit-for-tat. Naturally, some intelligence personnel have made great contributions. In addition, long-range ground firepower and air support from multinational forces are also very important links.

In the early morning of that day, the half-hour fire preparation before the launch of the general attack was actually just smoke screen bombs released by Damascus to paralyze the defenders. The batches of shells and rockets that roared in the attack were not high. They were almost thrown into the city like pepper, causing casualties to some stranded civilians.

However, after the battle was launched, the government forces advancing together first made a rapid attack, quickly clearing the remnants of the Liberal Party on the outskirts of Aleppo, and then advanced to the pre-appointed attack area. At this time, the attack aircraft group of multinational troops in the air and the long-range artillery fire on the ground gradually came, concentrating a terrible fire density in the narrow area, directly creating several huge gaps of nearly a thousand meters wide on the Liberal Party's extended defense line.

Unlike the general fire preparation, the effect of such a sudden fire attack is also very terrifying.

Faced with the Liberal Party's stubborn resistance, if the attacking troops follow the general siege routine, the offensive forces need to launch one or two tactical attacks to find out the virtual and real enemy forces in front of them, and then summon long-range fire support. After the intensive barrage or Xu Jin barrage, the meaning of fire support is mainly to suppress the enemy's firepower and block its tactical actions. The real elimination of the enemy still depends on the offensive of the ground troops.

However, in this siege battle today, the Damascus army adopted another tactic, directly relying on its absolute advantage in firepower to clean up the battlefield, creating an "unman's land" that is easy to cross on the Liberal Party's defense line - so ammunition fell from the sky, first with fuel-air bombs and then with a baptism of large-caliber rockets, and then with subsequent attack troops able to directly cross the rebel defense line that turned into a rubble, and then fierce street battles with the enemy in the city.

When the war went to this extent, just like the independent regiment under Hatam, the speed of the rebels' collapse was indeed as expected by the government commanders, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a striking collapse.

The battle deployment was set up on three sides, but the joint command center of the multinational forces was only relaxed, and the battle deployment was set up by the joint command center of the multinational forces was indeed tailor-made for the Liberal Party entrenched in Aleppo: Before the general attack in Damascus was launched, with the brutal pressure of the regime and the activities of the supervising team, the unstable Liberal Party armed forces could still hold on to the "capital". However, once the battle started and the fierce attack of the government troops, I had long known the news that there was no enemy army in the north of Aleppo. Once the rebels ravaged by artillery fire could not support it, the whereabouts of the next one could be guessed directly.

So, just after the government forces launched a general attack, once the attacking striker broke through the outer defense line of Aleppo, the rebels in the city, which were frightened, began a completely disorderly defeat.

Seeing the rumbling artillery fire in front of them, government soldiers rushed in. Not only did the rebels stationed in the outer circle of the city flee, but even the second-tier troops and the reserve teams who received the message had made small plans. Although there were no artillery missiles flying overhead, the soldiers and officers of the Liberal Party began to retreat to the north at the same time. Their goal was very clear, which was to escape northward. It would be best to travel forty kilometers long and escape directly into Turkey!

It turned out that he was showing off his power in Syria, but now he has been suffering a catastrophe. The rebels naturally thought of Türkiye, which has long secretly supported the Liberal Party, and even old Europe, in Aleppo, not far from the northern border.

"It is better to retreat to Turkey than to fight with the government forces." Anyway, the rebels have the same idea now, and the situation in the "capital" city has naturally lost control.

The siege was determined to win, and the defenders had no fighting spirit. The simple strategy of "surrounding three and letting one" was used to achieve miraculous results. The battle situation in the city of Aleppo quickly evolved into a large sweep of government troops. The original words of crazy words to make Aleppo become Stalingrad's Liberal regime destroyed overnight. Although many senior officials escaped, their substantial existence had been completely shattered.

From early morning to noon, to the evening when the sun sets west, the cold wind whistles and snow flakes fall in Aleppo City, the rumbling artillery fire and shock explosion have gradually stopped. A battle with a hot start but a bit sloppy ending is coming to an end.

Aleppo, an ancient city in Syria, is not as good as the citizens who survived the disaster, or rather, most of the refugees are homeless. Many people are trembling in the snow. However, seeing the teams of government soldiers patrolling with guns on the messy streets and steel chariots parked on the streets, these pale and thin and malnourished people are still very happy. Even if the rescue supplies are still limited for the time being, they are not enough to ensure that everyone can have enough food and clothing and return to normal life. After all, the hope of returning to normal life has come.

After a brief and fierce battle, a violent and bloody baptism just passed, and the winter snow that happened to come at this time seemed to herald the rebirth of the devastated world; however, just as the falling snow cannot cover everything on the earth, in this almost sacred and cold atmosphere, there are still some people rushing for their mission.

Just in the snowy city of Aleppo, where the land was full of mess, and on the main streets where one or two craters were mixed, two BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles were running along the street, rushing to a certain government command center two blocks away.

In the urban area where the battle was basically over, the distance between the armored vehicles was quite close. The turrets aimed at the broken buildings on both sides of the road, and the roar of the engine spread far away. In the urban area of ​​Aleppo where the situation was chaotic and the road conditions were even more chaotic, the tracked vehicles still had better passability. The infantry fighting vehicles carrying several members of the special team soon arrived near the command center and entered the intersection through the inspection of the temporary post.

"Good evening, everyone;—Oh, everyone is busy, Major, let's talk about it for a long time, what do you think?"

"Okay, please come here, gentlemen."

He was busy with military affairs in the tent. After receiving the notice from the guards, he saw a group of members of the special team. The strong major with berets invited these people to another tent and let everyone sit down on the folding stool and rest for a while.

The temporary meeting in the front enemy command center was a bit hasty, but it was very important to the current situation.

The visitors to this evening, several of the so-called "special team", were actually special missionaries of the multinational forces who followed the Syrian government forces into Aleppo that afternoon.

Wearing khaki camouflage uniforms like the Damascus army, the weapons and equipment on their hands are dazzling and diverse. These special forces from several major countries each shoulder the secret missions given by their superiors, but the principle of action is the same. According to the action resolution secretly negotiated by China, the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, each sent personnel to form a nominal "Security Council Special Investigation Team" to participate in the battle of the Syrian government forces in the attack on Aleppo.
