Chris as a child, had very much understanding of various weapons and equipment.
Therefore, he said almost without thinking: "There are many models of Russian 152mm artillery, but I presume that the ones that can reach Syria should all be produced in the 1970s and 1980s, or even older, so the effective range should be around 20 KMs."
Aliba asked in surprise, "Brother, you know all this?"
Chris gave a hmph and asked again, "Does the other side have any air firepower?"
"No." Aliba said, "The government forces have a total of a dozen broke Goku 24, a huge part lying in the hangar and cannot fly, can fly up to defend the capital, and occasionally fight the terrorists, simply can not spare energy to fight me, and the Goku 24 also has little meaning, just to drop some bombs."
He further said: "As for the helicopter gunships, I am not afraid of him to come, anyway, their helicopter gunships performance is not too good, I have a lot of shoulder-fired missiles here, to fight helicopters easily, I guess they do not want to take helicopters over."
Chris slightly relieved, said: "So it seems that the probability is purely ground war, then you do not need to rush for the time being."
Saying that, he added: "I suggest you can 1st observe the other side's intention, because the other side has a great advantage in numbers itself."
"If they want to attack strongly, they will not bring so much artillery, so their strategic intention, should be the same as the ground war model between countries decades ago, want to play with you infantry artillery synergy!"
Aliba asked, "What is infantry and artillery synergy?"
Chris said: "The infantry and artillery synergy, to put it bluntly, is the artillery bombardment after the infantry rush, infantry rush without artillery bombardment, used in your current situation."
"The other side should intend to 1st use artillery to cover with artillery shelling, after bombing a mess, personnel cut in half, combat power waste, then use armored vehicles to cover the infantry rushed."
Aliba said approvingly, "You're right, I think they must want to give me an intensive bombardment 1st!"
Chris then said: "Bombing you should not be afraid, because you already have a counter-slope pit, now hurry 1st, take your most valuable personnel and supplies and equipment and transport them to the counter-slope pit, and then hurry to have your valuable helicopter gunships to fly away."
"The other side is in a huge number, you can not play a big game with these helicopters, or 1st take them 100s of KMs away, find an unoccupied valley or hilltop flat ground to park, if later the other side shelling a start, your helicopters are estimated to be all kneeling."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Aliba came back to his senses and immediately ordered his adjutant, "Tell the helicopter pilots to get ready, fly north and find a place to hide a hundred KMs away!"
It was no wonder Aliba panicked, although he had been darkled with the government forces for a long time, there had never been a huge-scale conflict.
So, his sense of the big picture is not that strong, at best, it is a small guerrilla leader level.
Now the government forces suddenly assembled such a powerful armed force to attack him, he was immediately a little overwhelmed, completely at a loss as to how to respond.
On the contrary, Chris, who has never fought in a war but is more comprehensive in his considerations, can remain 100 percent calm at such times and carefully analyze the situation and give more reasonable advice.
Chris said to him at this time: "You have a certain impression of the landscape, I probably have a certain impression, surrounded by hilly mountain roads, winding and rugged, so the other side of the advance you will not be too fast, and you should not be too anxious to let the helicopter leave immediately."
Saying this he also suggested: "You can now 1st let the helicopter help lift some precious heavy equipment to your counter-slope pit, at the same time you also have to let your front-line scouts pay close attention to the other side's movements."
"When the other side stops marching and began to deploy artillery, it is even not too late to let the helicopter leave."
"The other side has 30 or 40 towed artillery pieces, from the state of towing to a complete stop, and then fully deploying and calculating the coordinates, adjusting the angle, readying for the artillery fire, this all needs a long time, you have enough time to react, don't need to panic!"
