Crossing through time 04, I blew up the American aircraft carrier.

Kitaf.

The setting sun cast its last rays, bathing the entire town in a glow.

The ancient streets, the bluestone roads, the stone buildings... everything turned red.

At this time of day, the small town is usually very lively. People sit together, chewing khat and chatting about the day's interesting events...

But now, the small town is deserted.

The residents all fled; some went to the town of Saada behind the town, while others went to the mountains to take refuge...

After all, war is about to break out!

In the center of the small town, in the square, several tanks were parked, looking dusty and worn compared to before they set off.

The sight of the cannon barrel being blown open was particularly horrifying.

The tank crews, exhausted, disembarked from their tanks, but their eyes lit up when they saw the logistics personnel carrying out bundles of wild grass.

They grabbed wild grass, plucked the leaves, stuffed them into their mouths, and chewed them vigorously.

Some people didn't even have time to pick the leaves; they just put the long, thin grass stems directly into their mouths and then sucked them out.

Just like eating skewers, all the leaves go into your mouth.

The tank company commander, Rushdie, also began to chew.

As the juices are chewed, they flow into the stomach and are absorbed, causing waves of excitement throughout the body.

The previous fatigue seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Just then, the local commander, Barzan, rushed over.

"Damn it, you guys retreated already? You drove in your tanks and got chased back by a bunch of guerrillas with AKs?"

"It's not our fault, we did our best! We lost four tanks, especially... the enemy had a sharpshooter."

Barzan only realized what was happening when he heard Rushdie's slurred speech.

"Damn it, don't chew khat, it's addictive!"

Khat, which looks like tea leaves, contains cathinone in its juice. After entering the human body, it is broken down into norephedrine and norpseudoephedrine.

These two substances greatly stimulate the human nervous system, making people feel excited and happy. However, as soon as you stop using them, you will feel lethargic.

Simply put, it's similar to Fu Shou Gao (a type of medicated plaster).

By this time, Rushdie had placed all the khat on the left side, and his cheeks bulged out, making his speech a little clearer.

"On the battlefield, death can come at any moment. So what if it's addictive? Can addiction be more brutal than going to war?"

Barzan was speechless.

Yes, you could die on the battlefield at any moment, so what's the big deal about chewing some khat?

Just then, the sound of a pickup truck rang out.

Because he was blocked by the tank, Alfisol did not see the enraged Balzan. After jumping off the vehicle, he also picked up a handful of khat and put it in his mouth.

"Alfisol!"

"arrive!"

He immediately stood up, raised his right hand in salute, and as his mouth opened wide, the khat fell to the ground.

"Where is your infantry battalion?"

"Them, they..."

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Barzan's hand was already on the pistol at his waist.

If the entire battalion is wiped out and only the battalion commander manages to escape, then the battalion commander must also be executed!

"The enemy is too powerful! We simply cannot fight them."

"Powerful? How powerful are they?"

"They have tanks!"

"Tanks? Where did they come from?" Barzan seemed to have seen through the battalion commander's lie, his tone growing colder and colder, the pistol at his waist appearing as if he could draw it at any moment.

"I don't know, how would we know? Anyway, a lot, a lot!"

"That's right, I can vouch for it! The enemy has a large number of tanks, otherwise... how could they have destroyed several of our tanks!"

To cover up one's own incompetence, one must portray the enemy as more powerful!

If the enemy only had one tank, and it was captured from their side, then Alfiesol and Rushdie would both be shot on the spot!

Barzan's expression was serious, and his mind raced.

Could it be... that someone named Sha gave it to them?

That shouldn't be the case. In previous years, Sha supported them, but in recent years, Sha and our government army have been of one mind!

Back then, Salah drove out the king, and Yemen was brought under a new regime. Salah was very worried, after all, they were also under a monarchy.

So when the Zaide faction stood up to oppose it, Sha secretly supported them, but... at most, he supported them with some light weapons. When did he ever support them with tanks?

Decades have passed, and the situation in Yemen has become increasingly complex. I am more and more at ease now. I am willing to help the government stabilize the situation and will absolutely not stand by and watch Yemen descend into chaos!

Never mind that, let's report this first and request more reinforcements!

Watching Barzan's departing figure, Rushdie and Alfisol exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then... he grabbed a handful of khat and chewed it in large mouthfuls.

They can go without food, but they can't go without grass. In fact, they spend five or six hours a day chewing khat!

This failure must be because we forgot to bring khat!

the other side.

Saeed was utterly shocked as he looked at the huge crater that had been blown into the ground.

"Fertilizer can really be used as explosives, Hassan, you're amazing!"

"No, no, it's all thanks to our guests from the tribe who are so capable. Did they manage to measure the distance?"

"Out, 10 kilometers and 500 meters."

"Okay, the range meets the requirements. Let's go back now and make rockets together!"

After a busy night, by noon the next day, more than two hundred rockets had been made and laid out on the ground, densely packed together.

We also managed to get a ton of diesel fuel, which we quickly filled the tank with.

Everything is ready!

Spread out the map and give the tasks one last time.

"I led the warriors of the Hadza tribe to ambush on the hillside east of Kitaf, Kamal led his own warriors to ambush on the hillside west of Kitaf, and Tarik stayed behind to organize the rocket launch. Now..."

Hamid glanced at his watch and continued.

"It's 3 PM now. In two hours, at 5 PM, the general offensive will begin. Fire all the rockets from here. While the enemy is in disarray, we'll charge down... Does everyone understand?"

"clear!"

"Hassan, you... have something in mind?" Hamid asked, noticing Qin Yuan's hesitant expression.

Qin Yuan decided not to hold back anymore, after all, this was a war!

"It would be too wasteful to launch two hundred missiles. If used properly, one hundred or even fifty would be enough."

"If it's too little, I'm afraid it won't be effective."

"Therefore, we need to change the time of the attack to midnight, such as 2 a.m., which is the best time to launch rockets. At the same time, our tanks will have enough time to circle around between Kitaf and Sadah and block their retreat route."

"Blocking the road? Why?"

"Get their remaining tanks and attack Sadah!"

Everyone was astonished.

With just a few hundred of us, how can we possibly take down the provincial capital of Saada?
