Chapter 566 Coincidence
ISIS's actions in Suluk completely exceeded Chen Chen's expectations - of course, in fact, it also exceeded the expectations of all other forces.
The Turkish army's defense became visibly chaotic. Before the Dongfeng Corps evacuated, they had completely given up the pursuit and rushed back into the city to deal with the extremists who launched the attack, or "riot."
And they didn't take any advantage at all.
The explosion occurred at 5:20, and the fighter jets arrived at 5:30.
Then five minutes later, after flying around Suluk, the fighter jet left without any warning.
They were replaced by two armed helicopters, but within a few minutes of flying, the RPGs from the ground pushed those two helicopters back.
The battle in Sulukne became more and more lively, but it seemed that the Dongfeng Corps, which was supposed to be the protagonist, was completely left out.
Lying on the sand, Chen Chen carefully observed the changes in the battle situation in the distance, and said slightly sarcastically:
"Now, Syria is going to become Imperial Cemetery No. 2."
"The level of madness of these people in ISIS is really far beyond my imagination - no, I should say that their level of intelligence is far beyond my imagination."
"We just broke up near Raqqa. When it's time to recuperate, we have to take the initiative to fight the Turkish side in Suluk."
"It's really adventurous to the extreme."
"But in this way, Türkiye and NATO's strategies are mostly bankrupt."
"I'm afraid they have never understood that in order to control Syria, the biggest enemy is not the Syrian government, but the extremist forces within Syria."
After Chen Chen finished speaking, Li Gang also put down his binoculars.
Then, he asked with some confusion:
"Why do you say Syria is the graveyard of empires? Why do you say ISIS is smart?"
"Judging from the current situation, NATO is still doing well here."
"Now is not the time to discuss this."
Chen Chen did not answer Li Gang's question. In fact, this is really not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
His judgment on the "Graveyard of Empires" comes from the experience of his previous life. If the United States and NATO still intervene in Syria "from a distance" according to their previous style of play, or they just manipulate neighboring countries to put pressure on the Syrian government, then there is a high probability that , NATO can still get benefits in Syria.
But the problem is that under the current circumstances, they have to leave the game in person.
They are like a gambler who, after losing some chips, has to continue to invest more chips in the hope of recovering their losses.
And Chen Chen knew that it was impossible for them to take back these bargaining chips.
The situation in Pubei has become completely stable, and a major artery is slowly taking shape in the south of the great northern country.
Although it seems that the amount of blood that this artery can transport is still very small, one day it will develop into a real core node.
Chen Chen still remembered that in the previous life, the North's plan to set up "overseas capitals" for Southeast Asian countries would not be implemented until at least 2020, but now, this thing may be achieved 10 years in advance.
If this plan is advanced, what about the northwest direction?
Will overseas capitals in Central Asian countries also be implemented in advance?
Yili
The construction of that giant port is probably ahead of schedule.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the North to allow NATO to continue to gain interests in Syria.
——
What's more terrible is that it is not difficult to make such a judgment.
Not to mention those real national think tanks, even Chen Chen, and even the leaders of the lower level JD groups with "lofty ambitions" can realize this.
They also know that NATO cannot last long here.
They know better that Turkey and NATO may be a "better enemy" than the Syrian government and the supporters behind the Syrian government after stabilizing the situation.
Therefore, this is probably why ISIS took the initiative to start a war with Türkiye
Thinking of this, Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then said:
"In any case, a fight between ISIS and Türkiye will be good for us."
"Turkey's forces on the border will be further dispersed, but ISIS's forces will be further concentrated, and the balance of power between the parties will change."
"The plan has been slightly adjusted. We will not go to Hasakah."
“Walked to Tel Tamir and rested directly there.”
"Then, find a way to have Yang Shu and Suhail lead the support team, use Tal Tamir as the next base, and launch the attack from there."
"Contact Yangshu, report the latest plan, and ask them to provide necessary support."
"clear."
Gang Li immediately took out his satellite phone and started looking for stars. He did not use the radio station, but not because he didn't want to use it, but because the two sets of radio stations they had had been damaged in the high-intensity battle.
A few minutes later, Li Bang finally contacted the rear, and after the call was connected, he received a message that left everyone speechless.
Yang Shu has already led the team to set off.
They are on their way to the border to rescue the reconnaissance team!
This news caught Chen Chen off guard. He remembered very clearly that the order he gave Yang Shu was to withdraw to Tabuka and take over the command in Tabuka. After the situation was stable, he would consider organizing the next rescue.
But it was obvious that the other party did not listen to his orders.
Not only him, but also Jackal and Suhail did not obey his orders!
Chen Chen frowned. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
Fortunately, the cohesion of this team has indeed far exceeded their imagination. In order to rescue their comrades, they even made choices with obviously lower returns and greater risks.
The angry thing is that disobeying orders on the battlefield is really a red line that cannot be touched. Such private actions are essentially a kind of internal friction.
There should be more than just self-sacrifice on the battlefield. If you are willing to take risks for your comrades, you should also allow your comrades to take risks.
"what to do?"
Li Bang asked:
"According to Suhail, Yang Shu will lead the team to wait near Kentari and wait for us to take the initiative to contact them before taking the next step."
"They are currently less than 30 kilometers away from Kentari and are expected to arrive in half an hour."
"We are 25 kilometers away from Kentari. It will take about eight hours to cross on foot."
"The risk is too great."
Chen Chen shook his head and replied:
"The temperature in the desert will rise very quickly during the day, and it's impossible for us to walk for eight hours straight."
"Don't say 8 hours, even 4 hours is impossible."
"This is not a jungle. Hiking in high temperatures can kill people."
"Moreover, there is no supply point between Suluk and Kentari - there is really not even a well. Once we start walking, we will have no chance to go back."
"Let them come over?"
Lin He interrupted and asked.
"Crazy? They were driving a car!"
"Traffic in the entire northern Raqqa province has basically been frozen, and only Turkish military vehicles are still moving."
"Their drones monitor the entire area. The target of the moving convoy is too big. If it is discovered, it will be a dead end."
"The risk is too high to come."
Speaking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but fall silent.
This short distance of 25 kilometers is like a natural chasm. It is clearly in front of us, but the two sides are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, unable to meet each other.
The only safe strategy is to head east at the same time.
Bypass the main battlefield, bypass the area controlled by the Turkish military, and meet at a safer location.
"There are several towns on Route 4 that are not under control yet."
"Kunazir is 40 kilometers away from us and 15 kilometers away from Kentari."
"Let Yangshu wait there while we evacuate eastward as planned."
"clear!"
A plan was immediately drawn up, and the Li Gang finally contacted Yang Shu's team via satellite phone.
After re-communicating the action plan, the two teams adjusted their direction of travel at the same time.
At this time, the fighting in Suluk was still continuing. More and more Turkish troops began to gather in this small city, and the scale of the conflict became larger and larger.
Such changes even made Chen Chen a little confused - logically speaking, even if ISIS is determined to challenge Turkey's control, it can just carry out small-scale harassment and destruction. Why is it still feeling unyielding now?
The raid launched by the Dongfeng Corps was like a match thrown into the explosives library, instantly detonating the small town.
Logically speaking, even if ISIS has indeed been ready to attack for a long time, the effect should not be so good.
Full of doubts, Chen Chen finally shook his head.
Then, he spoke:
"do not care."
"No matter how lively they play, it's their business. Let's go our own way."
"Take this opportunity to withdraw."
"Go east to find the next supply point first, reach the destination as soon as possible, and meet up with Yang Shu and the others!"
"receive."
With an order, everyone immediately took action.
When leaving the citrus grove, Chen Chen took one last look back at the small war-torn town.
He always felt like something big was happening there, but what it was, he really didn't know
At the same time, in Suluk City.
Chen Chen is definitely not the only one with questions in his mind. In fact, the man currently trapped in Suluk City is even more confused than Chen Chen.
What are you doing?
It was clearly agreed that the attack would be launched at the same time as the internal and external contracts, and the Turkish troops here would be completely annihilated and then break out and withdraw from Suluk. Why did the people outside fight for a few minutes but there was no movement?
What's even worse is that the Turkish military's response was too fast.
How did they manage to mobilize so many troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression in such a short period of time? How did they have the courage to send fighter jets immediately after a conflict?
Although those fighter jets did not launch an attack in the end, the deterrence they brought was indeed real.
Some of his brothers have even started to shrink back.
In the face of fierce artillery fire, the belief in Allah is sometimes not so indestructible
Thinking of this, Baghdadi's expression became more solemn.
The wound on his shoulder was still aching, which gradually made him unable to control his emotions.
Looking at the adjutant who was busy running around directing the battle, he roared loudly and asked:
"What are the people of the Legion doing? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"What about our agreement? If we can't break out, they won't get any benefits!"
"Contact their commander immediately, I need a clear answer!"
Hearing his words, the adjutant stopped immediately.
Then, he squatted down with a heavy breath, and while changing the magazine of the rifle in his hand, he answered:
"It's not the Legion Army outside!"
"I have just confirmed with the commander of the Legion Army that they haven't arrived yet!"
"They were attacked by an unknown armed force near Kentari, and the people have been scattered. It will take at least an hour to arrive."
"It was not our ally who attacked the Turkish military just now - but no one knows who it was!"
"No one knows?!"
Baghdadi was stunned. After a brief pause, he continued to ask:
"Then why did they attack Suluk?! Don't they know we are here?"
As soon as the voice fell, The adjutant pursed his lips bitterly and replied:
"This is a complete accident, or a coincidence."
"The situation in Raqqa Province is too chaotic. Turkey is fighting with the Syrian government forces, the Tiger Corps in Suhail is fighting with us, and in addition to us, the Kurds are also fighting, and the militias in Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and Hasakah are also fighting with the Free Army."
"We don't know who is doing it, nor do we know what their purpose is."
"This is a misjudgment - I said a long time ago that we should confirm the identity of the other party first."
"It's too late to say this now!"
Baghdadi interrupted the adjutant. He knew very well that this was his mistake, but he could never admit it.
"That was the best opportunity. The team that attacked Suluk was very powerful. We could have made good use of it!"
"But you guys are fine. Tell me now. Can we still break through?"
"It's impossible to break through."
The adjutant shook his head decisively, and then said:
"We must give up the confrontation immediately. We have to hide again."
"Turkey's focus is on Raqqa. For Suluk, they only ask for stability."
"But they are searching!"
"They are not searching for us! Nor for you!"
After the voice fell, Baghdadi suddenly fell silent.
That's right, the Turks are definitely not searching for him.
They have no reason to do this, and there is no possibility for them to do such a thankless task at this time!
I was stressed.
I was frightened by that tragic and even terrifying battle, so much so that I even misjudged this most basic logic.
At this moment, Baghdadi really felt despair.
He suddenly realized that he was just a small role.
I just happened to be caught between two really powerful forces, and I got some development purely due to luck.
When the two forces really started fighting, the aftermath of the battle alone was enough to crush me to pieces.
At this time, the gunfire of the Turkish army was getting closer and closer, and Baghdadi knew that he could never get away this time.
He pulled out his pistol and walked out of the house.
This might be his last battle.
His life would also end completely because of a funny and ridiculous mistake.
