Six combat units appeared in Gaziantep. 【】Completely changed the heart of the northern front. Discipline

It can be said that the floating style of play of the Republican ** team made the US military very uncomfortable, and even made Du Qiwei feel helpless.

In fact, aside from the superficial appearance, the Republic's offensive focus is still on Siverek

Because the support forces and combat materiel did not arrive in Gaziantep with the ground forces, it was impossible for the 6th combat unit to enter the battle at the first time, so the appearance of this combat unit on the western battlefield was of greatest significance. It was to make the two main divisions of the US army that were besieging Bakhce have to be restrained, leaving some troops to guard against the threat from the south. In fact. This also fundamentally made Duchway dispel the idea of concentrating on the annihilation of the Eighth Combat Unit, at least before the decisive battle broke out. It is impossible to annihilate the forces entrenched in Bakhche.

Calm down the boat. Du Qiwei immediately appeared, and all of Pei's purpose was to recommend Verek as soon as possible.

On the day and night, the vanguard of the 1st combat unit reached Siverek.

By this time, Duchway had ordered the 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Strategic Division to halt the breakout and build a defensive position in the town of Karajada, about a kilometer east of Siverek. That is, Duchway intended to sacrifice the remnants of these two divisions to gain more opportunities for the defenders of Siverek. It was precisely for this reason that the vanguard of the 1st Combat Unit did not rashly attack Siverek, but after several tentative attacks, took the initiative to retreat.

On this night, the US military accomplished an unprecedented feat.

According to the operational report of the US Air Force Airlift Command, eight strategic transport planes and tactical transport planes of the Chijiao type were dispatched from night to early morning of the old day. Officers and men of the Fierce Cave, secret main battle tanks, inflated infantry fighting vehicles, and military vehicles with a total of more than one ton of gravel were delivered to Siverek. In the airlift, which lasted for the last hour, he flew a total of more than one sortie. In total, the two ugly flew more than one sortie. Because the Army's North Draw does not belong to the U.S. Air Force, the Airlift Command did not mention the contribution made by the North Lead, and according to the records of the U.S. Army Air Corps, there were many foals involved in the banquet that night. Thousands of sorties were flown and the supplies transported alone were overrun. Station. In other words, in the airlift list compiled by the Airlift Command, most of the materials and some personnel and equipment are handled by the transport aircraft of the Army Air Corps. In fact, given the situation at that time, it would not have been possible to transport the equivalent of half a division of personnel in the old hours if it had relied entirely on the Air Force. and tens of thousands of tons of war materiel.

Even by the standards of the Republican team, this is a feat.

It was this airlift. Changed the situation in Siverek.

It is a pity that the airlift of the US military has not been greatly affected.

At first, Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao and others did not expect that Du Qi would dispatch hundreds of transport planes to send most of the officers and soldiers and heavy equipment of the US 2nd Infantry Division and the Old Infantry Division in Nablus in just one night, as well as more than 20,000 tons of materials hoarded in Antalya, to Siverek. You must know that this kind of large-scale airlift operation is very damaging to the "vitality" of the US military's transport aircraft group after completing this task, it needs to be grounded for at least two planing hours. The second is that Siverek's defenses were very weak before the airlift, and Duchway was still strengthening the strategic defensive line on the perimeter. Especially in the Malatya direction. The actions of the US-Turkish coalition are very large, so many people believe that the US army will not hold Siverek. It is only hoped that the advance of the Republican ** team will be delayed in Siverek and enough time will be bought for the strengthening of the strategic defensive line. Finally, the support forces of the Republican ** team have a task on their part, the 1st Combat Unit and the 10th Combat Brigade's individual artillery brigade are providing artillery support for the troops attacking Chermikistan, the artillery brigade of the 6th combat unit is on the way to Syria, the air force is busy seizing air supremacy, the navy is supporting the combat units on the southern front, and the army aviation's low-altitude attack aircraft group has experienced the battle ahead. is trying to replenish the lost troops, so when the US military is carrying out strategic airlifts, Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao cannot stop it, or even interfere with it.

Of course, the situation on the battlefield is still unfavorable for the US military.

The officers and men of the 2nd Infantry Division and the Old Infantry Division arrived in Siverek. The main force of the 1st Combat Unit was attacking Chermik and had taken the military stronghold, which had only a few thousand inhabitants but about 10,000 Turkish troops, before dawn.

It can be said that this was the biggest loss of the American army that night.

Although Cermik is northeast of Siverek and not northwest of Malatya, so the loss of the town will not have much of an impact on the U.S. military defense of Siverek, but Chermik is like the southern side of the Taurus Mountains, with several trails through the mountains and less than a kilometre from Elgani, which is an important transit point for the road and rail that runs through the Taurus Mountains. Because the Turkish army, after the fall of Diyarbakir, blew up the dam of the Deweigajidi reservoir. The flood washed away the railway and road bridges from Diyarbakir to Elgani, and turned the northern part of Diyarbakir into a swamped country, so that the republican team had to bypass the Devegajidi reservoir in order to cross the Taurus Mountains

In other words, the occupation of Chermikia by the Army of the Republic was in preparation for the crossing of the Taurus Mountains.

Obviously, this is the last thing Du Qiwei wants.

Regardless of whether Pei Chengyi intends to bypass Siverek or not, the occupation of Chermik by the Republic Army is tantamount to giving Pei Chengyi a new choice. It is also equivalent to inserting a knife in the defense line of the US army, so that Dudgway has to keep a hand when he is fully defending Siverek.

Obviously, this is a very clever tactical arrangement.

In fact, attacking Chermik was not Pei Chengyi's idea, and there was no need for the joint commander to regulate such detailed tactical actions of the thugs. According to Yuan Chenhao's post-war report, the main Tsego of this operation was Ling Yunxiao. Although some people think that this is Yuan Chenhao helping Ling Yunxiao get promoted, judging from the situation at the time, it is indeed possible that this is a combat operation planned by Ling Yunxiao. You know, in the Peninsular War. Ling Yunxiao planned the combat operation to attack Cheongju and provided great help for the three armies to attack Seoul. When it was necessary to storm Siverek, Ling Yunxiao had a reason to open a breakthrough in the flank defense line of the American army and help with the frontal attack.

is so" mouth morning. Du Qiwei was not stunned and sent the officers and men of the old infantry division to Malatya, and airlifted a batch of engineering equipment and engineering materials for the Turkish army stationed in Elazig, and demanded that the Turkish army make every effort. Turn Elazig into an impregnable fortress.

Thus. Duchway did keep a hand.

Of course, this did not prevent the 1st Combat Unit from taking Karajada on the morning of the day and annihilating the remnants of the 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Strategic Division.

It can be said that both the 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Strategic Division were victims of this war.

Comparatively speaking, the sacrifice of the first strategist was of little value. As a light force, the 1st Tank Strategist is only suitable for battles with weak enemies, and simply cannot survive battles against strong and strong forces. Later, even Du Qiwei had to admit that it was his misdeployment that caused the officers and men of the 1st Strategic Division to make worthless sacrifices, and left the officers and men of the 1st Strategic Division with permanent pain. It was this battle that made the US Army realize the shortcomings in the equipment exhibition. After learning the hard way, the U.S. Army quickly adjusted its strategy and successfully persuaded the U.S. Congress and the Pentagon to secure sufficient funding for dozens of important projects, laying the foundation for the U.S. Army's rebirth. From this point of view, the sacrifice of the first strategist is not worthless. In Blucher's words, the blood shed on the battlefield by the 1st Strategist woke up the members of Congress who were still basking in the dream of great power, and the Pentagon officials who still believed that the war could be won without the Army.

With the loss of Karajada, Siverek was exposed to the first battle alone.

In the afternoon of the same day, the main forces of the 1st Combat Unit reached the outskirts of Siverek and, before dark, completed the encirclement of Siverek.

At this time, battles in 2 other directions also began.

The first to be dispatched was the 6th Combat Unit, which had just been assembled in Gaziantep.

After receiving the war supplies that could last about three days, the combat brigade of the 6th combat unit did not go north, but quickly advanced eastward. On the same night they hit Nizip and sent thugs to Birejik. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanwa plus 8 four, please log in to read

It was only by this time that Duchway realized the significance of the 6th combat unit.

One of the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of the Eighth Combat Individual and the Fifth Combat Unit in the north was the continued logistical support.

In the battle on the western outskirts of Osmaniye, the fifth battle alone consumed a large amount of war materiel, and as a result, it was not able to take down Osmaniye, whose defenses had been hollowed out. If the Fifth Battle Individual had enough supplies at that time, I am afraid that the situation of the battle would have changed a long time ago. It was precisely because the logistical support was too difficult that the Eighth Combat Individual had to stay behind and protect the logistics support line for the Fifth Combat Unit.

There is only one reason for the logistical difficulties, that is, the entire journey from Aleppo in Syria to Bakhche is not only transported by road. And half of the way is a mountain road! The solution is simple: capture Nizip, open the railway line from Aleppo to Gaziantep, and then use the high road from Bahche and Osmaniye in Gaziantep to transport supplies. In this way, without increasing the number of transport fleets, the logistical support can be increased by more than three times. If the transportation force is reasonably deployed. It can even double the logistical support.

The problem is that this simple solution is not so easy in time.

Before the sixth battle arrived alone, Pei Chengyi had no extra troops in his hands. The 5th and 8th combat units had to deal with two main divisions of the U.S. Army, as well as a large number of regular units of the Turkish National Army, while the Syrian combat units were all sent to the southern front, and only the logistics support unit was responsible for transporting war supplies. Although the defenders of Nizip were all Turkish National Army, and there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and soldiers, there were no suitable troops. The Republican ** team was also unable to open up this vital railway line.

The situation immediately changed when the 6th combat unit arrived.

There is no doubt that Nizip's Turkish army did not hold out for long. According to Du Qiwei's estimates, it was a miracle that the Turkish infantry division was able to hold out until dawn in the old days.

After the capture of Nizip, the No. 1 unit will surely go west along the road line to relieve the 8th combat unit?

Obviously, in front of this new talent. The U.S. 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division had no chance of victory. If we take into account the individual combat effectiveness of the eighth battle, it is fortunate that the two US divisions are not counter-surrounded.

In desperation, Duchway adjusted the operations of the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division on the night of the old days

Business.

It was at this time. A U.S. military staff officer raised a pound. A very bold proposal, that is, to blow up the dam of the Ataturk reservoir and use the flood to block the forward progress of the Republican **.

The Ataturk Reservoir is the largest reservoir in the upper reaches of the Eurates River and the largest integrated water conservancy project in southeastern Turkey, as it is responsible for supplying water to nearby old cities and irrigation of tens of millions of acres of fertile land nearby, and is also the largest hydropower station in the region. If it is based on the volume of the reservoir. It is also the largest reservoir in Turkey. Nizip is downstream of the reservoir, and a kilometre-long section of the railway from Aleppo to Gaziantep is on the banks of the Eurates. What's more, the Eastern Railway had to pass through the Eulates. In other words, if you blow up the dam of the reservoir and release billions of tons of water from the reservoir, you can wash away the railway bridge. and all man-made facilities, including the railway line along the Eulates.

Millions of acres of fertile land and millions of homes will be destroyed, posing a threat to northern Syria. So that's not a decision that Dudgway can make.

The problem is, this is really a few ways to stop the Republican team from moving forward.

You know, just before the day of the thug; The Turkish army blew up a dam on the Tigris River and used the flood to block the Republican ** team's march north from Diyarbakir. If it can be concocted in this way, it will not only make it impossible for the Republican ** team to deliver supplies to the combat troops on the western battlefield, but it may even "annihilate" the sixth combat unit in one fell swoop, break the morale of the Republican ** team, and lay the foundation for the annihilation of the eighth combat unit and the fifth combat unit.

Imagine if you can take out 3 combat units in one go, will the US army be far from victory?

There is no doubt that the temptation is too great.

It can be said that before Mrs. Loeblin was consulted, Dudgway had already made up his mind. However, as a general who has served as defense minister and security adviser, Du Qiwei knows a truth very well, and is taking "the last action." Before, he had to do his best, at least to make others think that he had done his best.

It was this that Dudgway did not rush to discuss the issue.

In fact, the actions of the 10th Combat Unit that night gave Duchway the most powerful reason to convince Mrs. Loblin, and the Turkish president.

Before the encirclement of Nizip by the 6th combat unit, the main forces of the 10th combat unit left Diyarbakir. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read

Contrary to Duchway's previous predictions, the ace force did not march north against Malatya, but marched south as fast as possible, reaching Mazedae north of Mardin and then turning westward to reach Shanlıurfa south of the Ataturk Reservoir with great speed. It is also the last provincial capital in southern Turkey that is still under the control of the Turkish army.

When the 6th Combat Unit arrived in Gaziantep, Duchway knew that the 10th Combat Unit would not be heading north.

Standing in Pei Chengyi's position. It is more important to stabilize the rear than to widen the front in the north. Previously, Du Qiwei believed that Pei Chengyi would let the Sixth Combat Individual operate in the south, first, to sweep the southern region of Turkey, second, to warm up the combat force that had just entered the battlefield, and third, to share the burden of the main force. Obviously, Du Qiwei underestimated the strength of the sixth battle alone, and also overestimated Pei Chengyi's ambition.

The problem is that Duchway did not underestimate the strength of the 10th combat unit.

According to his speculation, the 10th Combat Unit would surely be able to capture Shanljuurfa before it gets dark.

Because the four and vomit are confirmed. It is very likely that the eighth combat unit of the Republic Army, that is, the seventh combat unit, will arrive at the battlefield in the old days and be able to enter the battle at the latest in the future, so Du Qiwei has reason to believe that Pei Chengyi will focus on stabilizing the battlefield before the old days, and will wait until the seventh combat unit arrives before launching a general attack. In this way, it is not surprising that the 10th combat unit should attack Shanljuurfa.

There is no doubt that the situation is extremely unfavorable for the US military.

With the loss of Shanlıurfa. In addition, the 6th Combat Unit went to Bahce to relieve the siege, and the 5th Combat Unit immediately counterattacked at Osmani, and the initiative of the entire Northern Front would fall into the hands of Pei Chengyi. At the latest, Pei Chengyi will have enough troops to launch a large-scale strategic decisive battle on the northern front. There is no doubt that by that time, the US military would not even have done a good job of preparing for a decisive battle, let alone winning it.

It is necessary to delay the explosion time of the decisive battle, so he has to find a way to let Pei Chengyi divide his troops, or consume the troops in his hands.

Because the US-Turkish coalition forces are already shrinking the defensive line, it is very difficult for Pei Chengyi to divide his troops, so he can only find a way to consume the combat troops of the Republic Army. It is definitely not possible to fight the battlefield, otherwise the war would not be the way it is now. There is only one option, and that is to use the force of nature that no one can resist to fight the republican ** team and massively wipe out the living forces of the Republic Army!
