how 14 Syrian soldiers punched, sticks and stones fought their way to freedom through the fortified camp of militants.
Today the Syrian army systematically, step by step, It is destroying the remaining enclaves of militants on its territory. Operations clearly planned, for advanced units formed reserves, there is support for the Russian artillery and aviation. This approach svol loss government forces to a minimum, and poorly organized enemy nothing can oppose the CAP. But this approach has led to the, that no place quite a feat, and their stories in the Syrian conflict was not enough, as in any war for their country.
In the middle of July 2016 year Syrian military positions in Dar province came a group of bearded men with guns. They are very reminiscent of the militants some small local band "moderate", who did not have any funds on arms, any food, so they came to surrender and receive amnesty.
Already during the preliminary interrogation revealed, that "militants" were Syrian soldiers. A few months ago they were surrounded and surrendered one of the local groups. Later they were transferred to the banned militant groups in Russia "Dzhebhat en-Nusra" 11.
All 14 soldiers were in one of the most guarded prison militants, which bore the name "Cobra". It was located on one of the ATS seized from military bases near the village of Saida. Barracks base were well fortified, and the perimeter of the great sweep for hundreds of meters around. To escape from the "Cobra" seemed impossible, so the "en-Nusra" contained therein Syrian military personnel and commanders of hostile groups. Basically, prisoners were used in exchange for their comrades.
The same fate awaited the captured military. Half a year passed until, until the soldier "auctioned". Here are just command CAP refused to release requested "al-Nusra" militants. Then the terrorists promised, that will kill the captives one by one. prisoners told, that the next morning would be the first execution, sacrifice comrades were asked to choose their own.
prikinuv, to lose more in general, there is nothing, the military decided to take the escape attempt, despite the complete absence of weapons. At night, one of the groups managed to break down the cell door.
The first guard soldiers just beaten with fists and released others. Then also we decided to act, not to make a fuss, because with one gun against the camp of militants is not particularly povoyuesh. Armed with stones, fixtures and other improvised instruments squad took it towards the exit. All victims of the fugitives was colo dozen Islamists, including Abu Hashim, known field commander, "al-Nusra" led "Cobra".
After the death of the leader promptly organize a chase militants could not. This gave the Syrians leeway, than they skillfully used, lost in the wild. Two weeks was the group of desert areas, at night stealing rare villages for food and water. Openly enter into the settlement of the soldiers did not risk, fearing to stumble on militants.
after 15 days after the escape group saw over one of the separate buildings Syrian flag - it was a checkpoint government forces. soldiers lucky, that at the time the armistice was declared between the warring parties, so the Syrians did not open fire on a large group of armed men with beards, and entered into negotiations with them.
