Chapter 040: Middle East War (4)
On this day, the Israeli army lost about 3,000 people, while the Afghan army lost more than 6,000 people, but their strategic goals were not achieved.
On the 5th, although yesterday suffered a lot of losses, ** and others also knew that the losses of the Israeli army were not small, and at the same time they also received reports that Jews all over the world, especially the soldiers, returned to Israel from various places to participate in the war, and they did not want to hesitate, so as not to sleep too much at night, yesterday the Afghan army suffered great losses, but the losses of the Israeli army were not small,
At noon, the Egyptian army drove into Palestine from Arish in two ways, with the first division as the main force of 15,000 people on the north road, and marched along the coastal road through Gaza to Tel Aviv, because the Israeli army desperately resisted south of Tel Aviv, and attacked the rear of the Egyptian army's vanguard at night, so that the Egyptian army panicked, and then the Israelis held a press conference to claim that the Egyptian army's supply line had been cut off, and the news reached Cairo, and the Egyptian army command immediately ordered to stop the attack on Tel Aviv, this setback, It became a turning point for the Egyptian army in this war, Tel Aviv was no longer attacked by the Egyptian army, the Egyptian army changed its target, and instead occupied some important points and road arteries in Negev, and the 3rd Division of the South Road passed through Bilsheba and Hebron, and marched towards Jerusalem.
The Syrian army on the northern front, with a mechanized regiment, a cavalry division and an infantry division, and some noisy Palestinian resistance groups totaling 40,000 troops, set out from Quneitra and first attacked the southern end of Lake Tiberias, and they successively conquered three Jewish settlements on both sides of the Jordan River, and then attacked the settlement of Nigaia, after which they encountered the Israeli army in this area at the southern end of Lake Tiberias, and engaged in fierce fighting.
The Iraqi army first attacked Qaher and Beisan in the north, but made little progress, and then moved on to Nablus, where the Iraqi army engaged 1 armored vehicle regiment, an infantry division, and a mechanized brigade supported by three aviation squadrons to capture the Afghan army and launch an offensive and achieve an initial victory,[3]
Nablus, Jenin and Tulqam, only 11 miles from the Mediterranean, and threatened the Jewish city of Hedra, almost reaching the sea, and saw that the Israeli army was cut off, but the Iraqi army lost its fighters in order to continue the attack, and the Israeli army took the opportunity to counterattack Jenin, but was repelled by the Iraqi army.
The Lebanese army's offensive in the north was smaller, it first captured the Malkia border post, which was later recaptured by Israel, and on the 8th, the Lebanese army captured it again.
Seeing that their allies have achieved a lot of results one by one, the Turkish army can't sit still, but as a reserve, they can't go out at will without an order from **, otherwise it will cause trouble,
At this time, ** was complacent, but no one expected that this was the strategy of Ben-Gurion and others, in fact, they sent troops to resist, so as not to observe the combat effectiveness of the Afghan army, and lost more than 3,000 people in one day on the 5th, which surprised the Israeli side, there are not many Jews, and such a loss can not be afforded.
In fact, the further the war is postponed, the more beneficial it is for Israel, now their air force training is not in place, even the army training is not in place, although the Afghan army is from a servant army, but after all, it still has some ability, in addition, the Turkish army they are most afraid of has not participated in the attack, the Turkish army can be said to be the most powerful of all the Arab coalition armies, they do not move Ben-Gurion and dare not go out at will,
Although the war in the Middle East is fierce, but only the Jews and the people of the Arab countries are always concerned, you must know that now it is the world war, the Arab-Israeli war and the competition between China and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union or Britain and the United States and Germany between aircraft and artillery steel is simply pediatric.
On the Franco-German front, the Anglo-American coalition forces engaged in a fierce tug-of-war in Belgium and the northern French city of Nancy, but although the Anglo-American coalition forces did not directly attack the German mainland, thousands of planes bombed the facilities in Germany every day, and Germany suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, at this time, unlike in history, at least the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front was still in a passive position, not that it had already attacked Poland.
Moscow and Leningrad were occupied by the German army one after another, and there was a strong attack by the squadron in Asia, and the Soviet Union simply could not spare the forces to counterattack, let alone materials to counterattack, and the small-scale counteroffensive had no effect on the war situation at all.
But the Soviet side still held on to every inch of territory even at such a moment, which made Hitler and the Germans break out in a cold sweat behind their backs, and they could not imagine that if it wasn't for China's attack in Asia, then they would still be where they are today, I'm afraid that the Soviet army would have counterattacked a long time ago,
And Wang Hanzhang is the same, the tenacity of the Soviets is indeed the most tenacious he has ever seen, and the Soviet army is not as brainless as the Japanese army's battle, it is worthy of being a species that survives in the struggle with nature, although it is barbaric, but it is worthy of respect,
Hitler was fortunate to have such a helper as Huaxia, especially Wang Hanzhang, if it were not for the appearance of Wang Hanzhang, the fate of Germany's defeat would have been doomed.
In fact, before the "Barbarossa Plan" was implemented, Hitler believed that the only countries in the world that could be Germany's opponents were the United States and the Soviet Union.
The United States has a strong industrial power, and it has the protection of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the United States itself has a strong fleet, and it is very difficult to attack the United States, at least before the German government in Europe, so no matter how great the threat of the United States is, it can only be solved in the end.
The Soviet Union is close at hand, especially in the last few hundred years, the Slavs have been the biggest enemy threatening the survival of the Germanic people, Tsarist Russia has expanded into nature, eager to include the whole earth into its own territory, Tsarist Russia was the first Muscovy, at the beginning the territory of this principality was only a few kilometers from the Moscow Castle, after hundreds of years of expansion suddenly became the world's largest empire,
And although the Soviet Union is under the banner of socialism, although it says that it wants to overthrow the imperial attention and liberate all mankind, but fools know that this is just Stalin and they changed their vests, and in the past, Tsarist Russia did everything naked, although it was insatiable and disgusting, but at least it was straightforward, but it also made people like it a little,
The Soviet Union is different, they have to do whatever bad things they want to do under the banner of justice, stand on the moral high ground to deceive the ignorant people and help them invade others, of course, when their plans cannot succeed, they will become as naked as Tsarist Russia,
In fact, at the beginning, Hitler knew that if he started World War II, Germany's chances of victory would be very small, because the result was like World War I, the whole world would oppose Germany, and during World War I, Germany still had Austria-Hungary to help, but World War II was not good, Austria-Hungary no longer existed, and Japan, a nation that could only fish by the sea, he didn't look down on it at all.
Japan seems to be very powerful, in fact, in Hitler's eyes belongs to the kind of thing that can only do something simple-minded, that is to say, the tactics are still over, but it is completely a strategic idiot, coupled with the lack of resources, tactics have become useless, from the beginning of the invasion of China Hitler can see, but at that time he tried his best to support China, but the Chinese did not argue, still fighting in the nest, other really could not find allies, and finally chose Japan,
Fortunately, the Chinese are still very competitive, and finally a Wang Hanzhang turned the tide, not only saved China, but also saved Germany, Hitler was very annoyed that Japan did not help to take out the threat of the Soviet Union first, but also once again proved that the Japanese are pigs, if the Soviet Union is killed, then Japan and Germany have a safe rear, there is no need to worry about fighting on two fronts, so that you can also concentrate on dealing with Britain and the United States, even if you can't kill the United States and Britain, at least Germany can rule Europe, and Africa can be included in Germany's territory,
And if China had not risen up and allowed Japan's brain-dead style of play, Germany and Japan would have ended up only defeating the war, and even the nation would cease to exist.
What Japan did in Asia also seriously affected Germany, first of all, Germany had already gained an advantage on the European continent, although Britain did not surrender like a fish in the throat, so it took advantage of the fact that the Soviet Union did not complete its industrial plan and did not complete the preparations for war to kill the Soviet Union.
There is a very important reason for killing the Soviet Union is that Germany absolutely cannot tolerate an aggressive Soviet Union next to itself, and from the negotiations, we know that Stalin himself also has the ambition to unify the world, and it is a very strong kind, the reason why Stalin did not do it, one is that the construction of heavy industry has not been completed, and it only takes two or three years, the other is that the follow-up heavy industry has not been completed, and the preparations for war have not been completed, and the third is that Stalin wants to watch Germany fight to the death with Britain, France and the United States. When both sides were exhausted, the Soviet Union would concentrate tens of millions of troops to kill all Britain, France, the United States and Germany, with extremely sinister intentions.
Hitler, on the other hand, had his own plans, and the invention of the blitzkrieg made him see the way to quickly kill the old enemy of France, and at first he also wanted to use planes and submarines to destroy the British navy, land in Britain, and force Britain to surrender, but Britain got the secret support of the United States and stubbornly survived.
However, Hitler was not sure to kill Britain in a short time, and the Soviet Union's war preparations were fully developed day by day, and within 3 million ordinary kilometers near the German border, 3 or 4 million elite Soviet troops were concentrated, Hitler had to preemptively attack before Stalin was ready, and strive to kill the Soviet Union. After all, having defeated Tsarist Russia at that time in 1905, Stalin should still not dare to underestimate it, so that the Soviet Union would inevitably leave this large number of troops to guard against Japan or fight with Japan.
There was a knowledge that Japan not only did not attack the Soviet Union when Germany was soaring, but went to the United States, the enemy that Asahi should not provoke, forcing Germany to enter the war against the United States, pushing the United States directly to the opposite side, and since then the iron will of German soldiers has been destroyed by steel again and again, and originally planned to take advantage of the United States to reflect the blitzkrieg of the Soviet Union, so that the United States would not have a chance to enter the war, even if Germany was not afraid, but with the self-assertion of the Japanese monkey, his dream was shattered, thanks to the rise of China to save Germany,
Hitler now thinks about how stupid he was at that time, Japan did not declare war on the Soviet Union behind Germany, Germany actually followed Japan to declare war on the United States, if he did not declare war at that time, maybe the United States rescue was only secretly supported, and would not be so blatant in supporting the allies, maybe history is different, but unfortunately although it has just happened for a long time, but it still can't be repeated, Hitler can only warn himself to be careful in the future,
