Chapter 551: War in the Middle East

The warning was severe, and the KGB had raised the level of wording, hoping that Nasser's Egypt would not ignore it. www.biquge.info Although Egypt's army was the strongest in Arabia, it was not a match for Israel in terms of quality. But as long as there is no sneak attack, the two countries will have a complete fight, and Serov will soon start the Soviet Grad plan, and before that, of course, he hopes to stabilize the situation in the Soviet Union in the Middle East, and if the Arab coalition forces are defeated, the Soviet Soviet plan will be postponed.

"The advantage of this war is that it can build an airport in the Caucasus in the name of supporting the Arabs, and at the same time openly hoard a batch of military supplies, so that together with the earlier accumulation, once it is used against Turkey. A lot of supplies can be opened directly in the warehouse, and at the end of the war we will withdraw the soldiers from the Caucasus, but not all the equipment will be withdrawn, and then we will save a lot of preparation time. "It is inevitable to take out Turkey, and it must be the USSR itself, but it cannot just be the USSR itself, which is very contradictory, the USSR will take the initiative to provoke the whole of NATO, this is a world war. Therefore, we must do a good job of splitting NATO, and at least let one of the NATO countries cooperate with the Soviet Union, and this country is Greece.

In this way, it is possible to plant a divisive fruit within NATO, a war without a reason is certainly not possible, although the USSR and Turkey are feuding, but this is not a reason to throw the lives of Soviet soldiers into it. There is no reason to go to war, what will happen to the USSR will not be better than in Afghanistan, Turkey is much stronger than Afghanistan. Most of the whole country is mountainous, so even if the war starts, it cannot be aimed at destroying Turkey, let the Kurds become independent, and at the same time open the Dardanelles Strait and recover Constantinople is the biggest strategic goal, as for the rest is that the hatred between Turkey and the Soviet Union is once again higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, unless a nation perishes, never consider the issue of reconciliation.

After the war, the Kurds had to be separated from the border between the Soviet Union and Turkey, and the new Kurdish Republic was halfway between the Soviet Union and Turkey, and the two provinces bordered each other.

In May, Egyptian Prime Minister Nasser announced the closure of the Strait of Tiran to Israeli freighters. The news came that shocked the entire Middle East and showed that relations between Egypt and Israel had reached a very dangerous situation. When the news reached Moscow, Serov knew that Israel would definitely be the first to act, and quickly sent a telegram to Hafez Assad, at most a month, Israel would not be able to bear to start a war, and Syria must be ready.

Israel, as a small country, does not have the capacity to attack Egypt, Syria and Jordan at the same time. So the first wave of attacks will definitely be to attack Egypt, and then draw back forces to attack Syria and Jordan, and this is the opportunity. So the USSR Ministry of Defense, after consulting with the KGB, put the chips on Syria.

"We must have our military advisory group increase combat readiness, take control of all SAM anti-aircraft missile battalions, and give the Egyptian military advisory group an order to open fire directly if the Israeli air force is found to have crossed the line." The Soviet military advisory corps in Egypt numbered 18,000 people, and it was not possible to command the entire Egyptian army, not because it was impossible, but because Nasser was unwilling. However, it is still a breeze to concentrate forces on controlling the anti-aircraft missile forces.

In the name of the Soviet Ministry of Defense, Marshal Grechko, Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, telegraphed the Egyptian military advisers to increase their combat readiness, and the military advisers must remain in the anti-aircraft missile forces at all times so that they can respond to the attack of the Israeli Air Force at any time.

In the Prime Minister's Office of Israel, a general with an eyepatch walked out with a serious face in the middle of the night, looked up at the bright moon in the sky with one eye, and with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, he got into the car and left here.

"Next Monday, the Buddha will go out in the morning to destroy the air forces of the three Arab countries. The time was set for before eight o'clock in the morning, and according to our intelligence, it was usually the time when the Egyptian radar station was handed over......" Moshe Dayan ordered at a meeting of the Ministry of Defense, "and the Army then followed up and raided the Sinai Peninsula to seize our southern access to the sea." ”

"Yes!" All the generals who attended the meeting spoke in unison, obviously knowing the significance of this operation.

At the same time, Serov, through the General Directorate of Military Administration of the KGB, issued an order to the KGB representative office of the military advisory group of the Egyptian garrison, "All KGB subordinates, be sure to keep the members of the military advisory group at the radar station, and if anyone is disobedient, they will be directly dismissed from the military, and the special investigation department will clean them up." Regardless of whether the war starts or not, once the enemy is discovered, the anti-aircraft missiles will be sent out first. ”

At 7 a.m. on 5 June, one Israeli fighter jet after another soared into the sky from the runway and sprinted into the blue sky. After assembling in the air, it quickly headed south to the major air bases in Egypt. Ground crews at Israeli airports are busy, preparing fuel and bombs for their air warriors to return.

At the same time, Moshe Dayan announced on the radio that ****** the Israeli national reserve must be ordered to return to the barracks within eight hours, and then carry out a surprise attack on Egypt with the active forces.

In a Sam anti-aircraft missile position in the Sinai Peninsula, a Soviet officer was bored waiting for a successor, he had not slept all night, and he couldn't stop complaining, and after a while, another officer who took over came, and then he stretched his waist and said, "Why are the KGB anti-anti-corruption workers chasing us like wolves recently?" ”

"Don't complain, their general political commissar is not easy to mess with, the situation has been tense recently." The captain, who was about to take over, said, "Your people can't leave work yet, and you have to wait for our people to come over before they can get off work." ”

"Hey, got it!" The officer, who was about to leave work, was about to say something more, when suddenly the radar alarm sounded, and it showed that countless enemy planes were approaching at a rapid speed.

Worst! The two of them were shocked, thinking of the recent operational notice, and one picked up the phone and ordered, "Discover a large number of Israeli enemy planes, shoot out all the anti-aircraft missiles, and the war has broken out!" ”

"Immediately send a telegram to Cairo that Israel is at war. Immediately send the message to President Nasser. Another officer, who was about to take over, ordered loudly, "Let's figure it out to our regimental commander." ”

As soon as the Israeli Air Force, which was heading straight for Egypt, crossed the border, it was attacked by the Sam anti-aircraft missile base operated by the Soviet Union itself, and one after another the anti-aircraft missiles shot straight into the sky like sharp swords, and the Israeli fighters that crashed into it had to urgently evade, but there were still one after another fighter planes exploding and disintegrating in the air.

"There is no intelligence on the location of these missile bases, when did the Egyptian Air Force deploy these missiles?" The pilots of the Israeli fighter jets, who were desperately evasive, cursed in their hearts, unaware that the missiles had arrived in the Sinai Peninsula for less than two months. All the missiles were operated by personnel sent from within the Soviet Union under the guise of normal rotation.

After the launch of the first wave of missiles, more than a dozen fighters of the Israeli Air Force were shot down. Soviet military advisers used SAM anti-aircraft missiles to buy Egypt less than twenty minutes, and during these twenty minutes, Nasser learned of Israel's war and immediately ordered the Egyptian air force to take off urgently. But it was still a step too slow, and the clouds over the Nile Delta and the Suez Canal had just disappeared. At the Egyptian air base, everything is business as usual, the officers are on their way to work, and many radar duty rooms are taking over. Suddenly, there was a sound in the air, and Israeli military planes struck like lightning, which caught the Egyptian air force by surprise, and a large number of planes were destroyed on the ground before they could take off.

Of the ten airfields attacked by the Israeli Air Force in the first wave, eight have been completely destroyed, and only two airfields reacted one step faster, and fighter jets successfully rose into the air for operations. An attempt to intercept the Israeli bomber formation began, and the two sides engaged in a fierce air battle over Egypt, with the support of radar stations that had not yet been destroyed, the Egyptian fighters in the air fought as best they could against the Israeli Air Force, which was superior to itself. Explosions were constantly heard over Egypt, but most of them were Egyptian fighter jets that had risen into the air, and the Egyptian Air Force was caught in a qualitative and quantitative inferiority, and they still had a numerical advantage. But it has been destroyed.

The news of the outbreak of war between Egypt and Israel immediately spread around the world, and Serov immediately telegraphed the KGB's forces in Syria, hoping that Syria could fight in concert with Egypt, and Hafez Assad, who had returned from Moscow, had already prepared. At the time of Israel's second bombardment of Egypt, the Syrian Air Force was ordered to bomb Israel across the border.

Su-7 fighter-bombers and MiG fighters took to the skies one after another, and when the Israeli Air Force was pouring out, they directly collided head-on with the Israeli Air Force preparing to bomb Syria in the border area between the two countries, and a major war broke out immediately. Soviet-made and American-made aircraft chased each other, drove and shot at each other over the Golan Heights. Israel's plan to bomb Syria did not succeed.

Syria did not suffer losses under the Israeli air force, and then the Arab Social Baath Party announced that the Israeli air force had attacked Egypt, and Syria, as part of the Arab world, declared war on Israel. Then the army assembled and crossed the Golan Heights, with the Soviet T54 tank as the main force of the tank group, from Syria to the Golan Heights in a steady stream, Moshe Dayan, who was gathering troops, learned that the air raid on Syria was frustrated, and ordered the Israeli Army on the northern front to resist the Syrian Army under pressure, indicating that the conscripted reserves would be invested.

"Why does the other side seem to know that we are going to do it, but we have no choice, and immediately order the army to attack the Sinai Peninsula!" Moshe Dayan decisively ordered, "Defeat Egypt in Syria!" "Half an hour after the Israeli air strikes, five divisions of its ground forces, led by tanks and armoured vehicles, launched a major offensive from Gaza, Arish and Abu Ogra.

"Have Israeli ground forces been dispatched? Tell the Egyptians that Israel's goal is definitely the Sinai Peninsula, that Egypt has ten times the population of Israel, and that as long as Israel's ground forces are dragged down, the war will never be lost. "Serov, of course, knows Israel's ultimate purpose, but the Egyptians may not know, but it doesn't matter, he can tell the Egyptians. At least he did not allow the Israeli sneak attack to succeed, and the Syrian Air Force did not suffer losses. (To be continued.) )
