was only less than 20 kilometers away from the border line. It climbed over a continuous low mountain and went there. On the Shah side of the border line, about ten kilometers away, was Najran, where the Shah’s army of 30,000 was stationed.

Although the Shah’s army is stationed near Najran, which is still more than 30 kilometers away, this is still an extremely dangerous distance, because it is impossible for the Shah to deploy outposts on the border, and even the Shah has sneaked across the border. It is also very possible, not to mention that Shah is also very likely to use drones for aerial reconnaissance without interruption, so Satan is not only dangerous in the process of assembly, but quite dangerous.

Fortunately, Satan’s heavy equipment is still small, only five self-propelled artillery, as for the logistics team can be scattered off the road, the situation of a large number of vehicles and personnel gathering together can be very easily avoided.

Leaving the road to the west is a very wide river valley, but this river valley has very few opportunities to become a real river. Most of the time, this river valley is just a dry river valley.

Vehicles with light weight can completely pass through the river valley and enter the shallow mountains along the border. Only the trailer loaded with self-propelled artillery cannot pass through the flat but soft river valley, and the self-propelled artillery needs to be unloaded on the road.

Fortunately, it has reached the theater, and the next short distance can be completed by relying on the self-propelled artillery’s own mobility.

All vehicles were under a blackout during the assembly process. In the dark, trailers were directed to leave the road, and then the artillerymen commanded by Rebrov entered the self-propelled guns. Get off the trailer under command.

Satan is all equipped with night vision goggles, and so are the artillerymen. Of course, the artillerymen only use low-light night vision goggles that are relatively cheap, but they are enough to bring great convenience.

Technology improves combat effectiveness. Gao Yang only has about thirty artillerymen in his hands. He doesn’t mind spending a little money to equip the artillery with night vision goggles.

Gao Yang got out of the car. He was wearing a white robe and a headscarf on his head. From a distance, he was no different from Yemenis. Only the night vision device on his head showed that he was different from ordinary Yemenis.

Quietly watching the other side of the river valley, Gao Yang was waiting for the artillery to gather.

Whenever a self-propelled artillery completes the unloading work, it will immediately leave the road and enter the valley, and then quickly pass to the foot of the mountain west of the valley to hide.

The last self-propelled gun also left the road and entered the valley,

and after the bumpy long-distance transportation, there was no self-propelled gun failure, everything was normal, this is a good start.

After the assembly is completed, it is time to march, and then it is time to enter the mountains.

The mountains along the border are not very high, and there is an extreme lack of rainfall all year round, so that there are neither mountain rivers common in rainy areas, nor shrubs that obstruct the view, all are bare stone mountains, these conditions are extremely unfavorable for concealment. But the advantage is that it is convenient to open up a simple dirt road in the mountains, which is enough for off-road vehicles to drive easily in the mountains.

The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is the road. The mountain paths lead in all directions. To arrive at the scheduled assembly area accurately and quickly, the combat map cannot be used, because these paths will not appear on the combat map at all. Only by using GPS and satellite maps can the fastest reach the destination.

The border between the Shah and Yemen in this area is demarcated on the summit of a small mountain range.

The mountain is not high, and the altitude is several hundred meters. It is impossible for Shah’s mechanized troops to climb over the top of the mountain and enter Yemen. However, Najran City is built on both sides of the valley of the Najran River, and the urban area is all in a flat low-lying area. In the desert, this desert is actually the sandy land that silted up when the Najran Gan River occasionally flooded. To the south of the urban area at the western end of Najran City is another large sandy land. The narrowness shows the original appearance of a river valley, and this flat river valley cuts through the mountains directly into Yemen’s territory.

For the Shah Army, the dry river valley to the south of Najran City is a natural high road. As long as the river valley passes through the mountains and enters Yemen, the individual hills will no longer be able to oppose the 6th Shah Mechanized Army. Geographical obstacles have been formed. Whether it is a tank or a vehicle, it can pass freely on the flat ground at the bottom of the mountain.

If Shah’s mechanized troops leave the city of Najran, there are even highways that can be used before reaching the Yemeni border. Only when entering the narrow river valley between the mountains do they need to leave the road and use the river valley to drive. In terms of time , the Shah’s army can reach the border from Najran City in ten minutes at most. The time is so fast and the distance is so short.

Therefore, what Gao Yang has to do is very simple. It is to monitor the river valley that can go directly south. If the 6th Shah Army wants to enter the river valley, then the only way is to start a battle.

The Shah will definitely take advantage of that valley, and Yemen will naturally try its best to defend it. Therefore, the Houthis have deployed a large number of troops to the border line recently, and the Shah will of course not relax on the extremely important valley passage. Be vigilant, now both sides have placed a large number of infantry on the mountains on both sides of the valley.

The infantry on the Shah’s side only played a warning and preventive role, but the light infantry on the Houthi side had to take on a heavy responsibility. They had to prevent the Shah’s army on the Najran front line from entering Yemen through the river valley, and this task It wasn’t supposed to be the light infantry.

However, the two sides in the confrontation are only monitoring and alerting each other. In Gao Yang’s view, the Houthis, who are extremely lacking in heavy firepower, should lay a large number of mines in the river valley, which can effectively delay the mechanization of the Shah. troop assault, but the Houthis have absolutely no intention of laying mines, even though the Houthis can get a lot of mines from Iran.

On the Shah side, he did not send infantry to seize the river valley first, nor did he intend to clear the highlands on both sides of the river valley.

Both sides deployed a large number of troops on an extremely important passage, and then just watched.

Worrying about the unsafe roads caused by the air strikes, Satan’s entry into the border mountains from Sana’a was delayed for a full week. At first, Gao Yang began to feel that it would not make much sense to go to the border, but now the Shah and the Houthis are on the border. After his eyes were wide open, he felt that he should still come, because he was worried that the northwestern defense line of the Houthi armed forces would be completely destroyed with a single stab.

What Gao Yang wants to do now is to see with his own eyes what the situation is on the border. If possible, he hopes to lead the Houthi armed forces to delay the Shah’s offensive as much as possible. It is impossible for the Houthi armed forces to fight to the death. Armed to take a look at the door, it is good to resist for a while.
