Song Heping looked at his watch again.
9:58 PM.
Approximately ten hours and fifty minutes until the vanguard of Barzani's first armored brigade reaches the Nasur Fortress.
Two minutes until the vanguard of the Abu You Brigade moves into pursuit position.
At least sixteen hours until Samir's troops complete the deployment of the northern blockade positions.
Sixty minutes until the "Storm" battalion completes its emergency deployment preparation.
Less than forty-eight hours until this civil war, deciding the life and death of the Kurdish, reaches its final turning point.
"Commence the operation!"
Song Heping waved his hand, issuing the final order.
One hour later.
East of Erbil City, Camp No. 3 of the Third Brigade.
The midnight chill was shattered by the heat waves from diesel engines.
