After nightfall, a military airport in Damascus was extraordinarily busy.
In order to drop 1 thousand soldiers of the Catalytic Front onto Aliba's base, the only few transport planes in Syria were pulled over, and in addition to that, 2 cargo planes were called from civil aviation.
A total of 6 planes were responsible for tonight's flight, and Caleb also selected the strongest 1 thousand elites from the 8 thousand soldiers of the Catalytic Front, and had them armed and ready for the early morning airborne.
In order to kill the enemy in 1 blow, Caleb gave all the high-end equipment to these 1 thousand people.
This includes a full set of the best single weapon for each person, a best bulletproof vest, a lightweight bulletproof helmet, a set of head-mounted night vision equipment, and multiple thermal imagers.
This kind of high-end standard equipment is expensive, and there are very few channels to buy it, and even Catalytic Front can't afford to do 1 set per person.
Caleb felt that since it was a night raid, the night vision equipment was simply a godsend gift. In the night when the visual distance of the naked eye is less than 5m, soldiers with night vision devices are simply as open, with great advantages.
And the soldiers have very strong protective equipment, when the short fight, even if the enemy hits fire coEllenge, the soldiers will have great probability to ensure that the vitals are not shot, so you can further increase the advantage.
In addition, Caleb also specially equipped the 1 thousand soldiers with a very cruel weapon, incendiary grenades.
This incendiary grenade, the standard equipment of the U.S. Army, is similar in principle to napalm, except that it is made into the shape of a grenade for easy use by a single soldier.
The incendiary grenade utilizes an aluminum thermal reaction that produces a high temperature of up to 3, 000° upon Explosion, melting even steel.
If you throw 2 of these grenades into an almost completely enclosed shelter, it is enough to burn the soldiers hidden there into charcoal.
If the space inside the hidden defense is huge, it does not matter, this kind of bomb if fully burn, can lead to Intrinsic oxygen depletion, the people inside even if not burned to death will suffocate to d3ath.
Using this weapon to attack Aliba's hidden defenses, in Caleb's opinion, was the most appropriate.
With superior weapons, superior vision, superior defense, and even more superior combat power, he believed that his 1 thousand elites must inflict great injuries on the other side.
And just inside the barracks next to the airport, the 5 thousand soldiers of the government army were also making their final assembly.
This is also Caleb's 3rd set of insurance, if the soldiers of the Catalytic Front airborne face a fierce battle, the periphery of thousands of government soldiers will immediately launch a charge, inside and outside to annihilate the enemy.
The 5 thousand soldiers, too, no longer used the daytime battle plan, they no longer carried tractor artillery and a huge number of shells, but directly used nearly 100 various types of carrier vehicles, and quickly marched towards Aliba's base, and in several hours, if they were fast, they could destroy Aliba's base at the foot of the mountain.
Just when the 1 thousand soldiers were still checking their equipment, the 5 thousand soldiers had already departed and set off, their movement speed was not as fast as the planes, so they had to set off 1 step earlier.
As for the soldiers of the Catalytic Front, they would board the plane at 1:00 a.m. and then take off 1 after another within 30 minutes to head over to the enemy base.
While the soldiers were checking their equipment, Caleb was still explaining the tactics to them, telling them to make sure to give full play and use all their advantages, and do their best to ensure the successful completion of the mission.
At 1:00 a.m., the soldiers carrying parachute packs began to board the plane in an orderly manner.
Caleb also personally boarded 1 of the military transport planes.
Although he would not personally lead the parachute jump, he was going to be on this military transport plane to receive the battlefield situation in real-time through the communication equipment on the plane.
So that he could provide tactical command at the 1st time when the soldiers needed him.
