They were all impatient at this point to rush up to Hamid's position and shoot him to death indiscriminately so as to avenge their fallen comrades.
This was especially true of Jerold.
Logan Azerlat had been his favourite general for many years, and now that he had died at Hamid's hands, he wanted to cut Hamid into pieces.
So, Jerold gathered all the officers of the Ten Thousand Dragons Temple together and met to formulate a battle plan.
The dozen or so officers present agreed that, given the current situation, the strength of Hamid's fortifications had far exceeded the power of their conventional firepower.
And the soldiers of the Hall of Ten Thousand Dragons were themselves strong in their ability to fight alone, especially their ability to infiltrate and assault, and each one was almost of the standard of a special force.
Therefore, the best way is to take advantage of them and surprise them.
After everyone had unified the strategic direction, the next step was to develop specific tactics.
Since everyone now knew that Hamid's front and west flanks were fortified, no one was sure whether the east and north flanks were there or not.
In this way, the way to sneak in from outside was blocked.
The reason is that, without knowing the enemy's fortifications, if they sneak in quietly, they are likely to be covered by the other side's hidden fire points.
Even if their soldiers were strong, they were all flesh and blood, and could not defeat an opponent hidden in steel and concrete fortifications.
So, this option was quickly dismissed.
The only option left was airborne, as they could not sneak in quietly.
Airborne has the huge advantage of being able to bypass the opponent's defences and drop directly into the opponent's hinterland.
In the case of an assault like this, the airborne would be able to avoid the slope of the mountain and land directly near the prism at the top of the mountain, nullifying all the fortifications on the slope.
Moreover, as far as they knew, Hamid did not have a system of anti-aircraft weapons.
Hamid had no anti-aircraft radar, no medium to high altitude surface-to-air missiles, and the transports would not be able to detect them from high altitude, and even if they did, they would not be able to threaten them.
The only shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles Hamid has are good enough to fight helicopters, but basically useless for anything else.
This would allow the soldiers of the Hall of Ten Thousand Dragons to execute a high-altitude parachute jump at night, directly near the prism of the mountain top.
Jerold's plan was to send a thousand parachutists, divided into two parachute echelons, parachuting twenty minutes apart before and after.
The two echelons would land one to the south of the base and one to the north of the base, each assembling after landing.
The reason for splitting into two echelons was also to provide a double insurance policy.
If one of the echelons was discovered by the enemy, the discovered echelon would immediately find cover and fight with the enemy, attracting enemy fire to ensure that the other echelon would be able to break through.
With two echelons and a thousand men, and bypassing the enemy's frontal defences, this tactic was, in Jerold's view, foolproof enough.
However, at the same time, Hamid was also making preparations to deal with the paratroopers' surprise attack.
The plan given by Charlie wade was very practical for him.
This was because he had long since purchased a large amount of explosives in order to build the fortifications.
This kind of explosive was so powerful that it could blow up even thick rocks, so it was very powerful if used to bury explosive points.
His soldiers also went to the ruined base, looking for all kinds of suitable metal objects, and then loaded them into barrels and delivered them to Hamid's ordered bursting point.
Hamid was afraid of being decapitated by the other side, so this time he arranged more than one hundred and forty burst points on all sides of the entire base, and almost all the explosives in his stockpile were shuttled.
He felt that as long as he could survive this wave, even if he used up all the explosives, it didn't matter.
But if he could not withstand this wave, even if there were more explosives left, it would be meaningless.
So why not just put it all on the line? In this way, even if the other side dropped an armoured car, they would still be able to blow it to pieces!
