Chapter 568: Tearing Through the Defense

The second more

Yanayev's anti-guest approach gave the Cypriot army an advantage, and when Coolion fell, the Turkish army, which had wanted to continue the offensive, dismissed its hasty offensive plans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but wait until a series of backup arrives before launching a counterattack. For Turkey, the last thing they lack is time. And with every minute that passed by the Cypriot army, they lost a valuable head start.

The longer the delay, the greater the advantage for Turkey, and Clerides will organize the armored forces to break through the Maginot Line's thunderous offensive plan and directly tear through the opponent's defense line with tanks. Capture the city of Morfo. He blocked both tank battalions in the city of Morfo, in other words, Clerides was determined to take it and wash away the humiliation of years of war.

As a mercenary force fighting in Cyprus, the Arkasha's armored forces were naturally the first choice for breaking through the defensive line, and the T72 tanks would break through the so-called defensive line head-on under the cover of air support and artillery fire, and then carry out a sweeping strike.

Having annihilated the elite Turkish troops, they desperately wanted to take the city that was far away and plant the banner of victory on the top floor of the government building.

In response, the Greek Air Force dispatched at least five F16 fighter jets to indiscriminately bomb the direction of Turkey, bombing Greek defensive positions no less than four times in a single day. Because the Turkish regime in Northern Cyprus did not anticipate the sudden entry of the Greek Air Force into the fray, they did not prepare powerful anti-aircraft fire to defend against air attacks. Eventually, we could only watch as the bunkers and trenches were reduced to ruins and ashes.

The Turkish regime in Northern Cyprus knows that a real war is about to begin. At first, they fantasized about attacking the south, but in the end they could only choose to hold the last city. The 39th Division, which was recoiled by the First World War, did not choose to take the initiative to attack, but used passive defense to block the advance of the Cypriot army.

However, the Soviet Red Army did not leave them much time, and after the first round of air raids, the armored battalions began to attack. After several rounds of artillery fire, the small number of tanks deployed by Turkey have been moved to the rear to accumulate strength, perhaps because they saw that the proud Maginot Line could no longer hold on. Only the militia of the Northern Cyprus regime is still waiting here for the arrival of the armored forces.

These men armed with RPGs or Tao anti-tank rockets and missiles had no idea who they were facing, and perhaps the 1974 war gave them a taste of the sweetness, and their T80 tanks were simply live targets for the Cypriot army, which could not even fight smoothly in conjunction with the infantry tanks.

"Hahaha, these Greeks have been driven out of our homes, and next time we will expel them from the island of Cyprus once and for all. Victory belongs to the great Ann and to us devout believers. The Lord has said that it is not a sin to kill a heretic. One of them laughed proudly, and he longed for another execution, and he killed all those who came down. And the companion sitting next to him also recognized this practice and nodded frequently.

"Kill all these heretics, Catholics, Christians, and those who have no faith, and they all have to die!" Some chimed in and shouted that in their eyes this was not just a civil war, but a religious war of conflicting beliefs.

They thought it was still the early seventies, but this time it was different.

The road leading to the city has been blocked by scrapped cars, and the Northern Cyprus militia is trying to block the advance of tanks, which will be attacked by anti-tank missiles if they stop in front of the roadblocks. This is the experience they have learned from their resistance to the Greek government forces in Cyprus. Just as these men were triumphantly preparing to harvest the heads of the Turkish tanks, an unexpected situation occurred.

They were waiting not for the Cypriot tank troops, but for two M24 Hind helicopters, rockets, aerial guns and machine guns armed to the teeth of aerial monsters with whistling flames flying over their heads. A cloud of dust swept up the ground where it passed, the sound of artillery and rockets crashing on concrete.

There were no living people left in the area where the hind helicopter had flown over, and the cannon hit their torsos and split their bodies in half, and the blood-drenched scene made many people bend over and vomit.

"The firepower strongholds on the roof of the building have all been annihilated by the helicopters of the Greek troops, and there are only roadblocks left on the road, ready to break through our defenses at any time. The Maginot Line is already self-defeating, damn it, those Turkish soldiers are running faster than rabbits, and they are leaving us here to die,"

The scouts' reports of losses took the militia of the northern regime by surprise, and the air strikes and the baptism of artillery fire did not expect the war to proceed like this. But for these people, this is just the beginning, far from the end.

After a loud bang, the smoke that filled the air covered the entire street, and the remaining militia was completely overwhelmed by the enemy's attack and could not find the north.

However, the next scene is one they will never forget.

The rock-solid barrier began to shake, and the militiamen already felt as if something was ready to break through the barrier and rush in. But the fog-like smoke made it impossible for them to see the road ahead. I just feel like there's a big guy heading in his direction.

In horror, they raised their rifles or bazookas and aimed them at the large shadows in the forefront.

As the dust cleared, they finally saw what kind of terrifying steel beast it was, with a huge army-green body and a bright red star engraved on the turret. On either side were infantry who followed the tanks, killing all the Turkish soldiers who had fallen to the ground and still had their breath left. Fragments of Kalashnikov rifle gunfire constantly echoed between the ruins.

These tanks were not as fragile as the Cypriot army, but had a clear division of labor, with tanks attacking in concert with the infantry.

The T72 tank was passing through smoke and obstacles, and its massive body was completely unconcerned about the others. He ran over the corpses so directly and without fear that the blood and shock filled the chests of the militiamen, that they completely forgot to shoot rockets at them.

It wasn't until the infantry next to the tank fired at them that they came back to their senses and went into battle. It's just that the military quality of the Soviet Red Army is more than a star and a half higher than that of the Cypriot army, and when they found the militia hiding in the building, they immediately opened fire to suppress it. The T72 slowly turned the turret and fired the shells directly in the direction of the infantry's fire.

With the loud sound of the shells hitting the target, the previous fire stronghold was reduced to ashes. The survivors were buried in the rubble beneath the masonry, with only one limp hand still exposed to the air. It was then run over by the advancing tank with a track and directly flattened.

The fragile Maginot Line had been completely torn apart by the armored forces of the Cypriot and Soviet Red Army, and after destroying all the living forces that could resist, the armored forces advanced towards the last bloody fortress.

In front of it is Morfou, a city with dense buildings. The cobweb-dense streets and alleys became a nightmare for the attackers. It's like Mogadishu and Saigon, where the U.S. military has been defeated. Cold guns creeping out of windows, bazookas prepared in narrow alleys, and the remnants of the Turkish mobile hell armored battalion entrenched in advantageous positions. It looks like a nightmare no matter how you look at it.

A most difficult and bloody battle is about to begin.

It was just that when they were about to enter Morfo, the Soviet armored forces stopped, and they looked at the city in front of them, which was smoking and smelling of blood, and did not move. It's like admiring its last splendor.

The pitiful dignity of the Turkish forces was about to be reduced to ashes along with the city.

Wait, it's not the best time yet.

The Soviet Red Army also had a well-prepared gift for this group of Islanists, a great gift. It is also to help the Cypriot army avenge the genocide of the year.

"I saw that a certain book friend in the post bar made a classic summary of Yanayev, and then found that it seemed to be really the case, so I specially brought it up to share it with you, and habitually continued for a second.
