The top commanders of both sides of the war believed that the regret in the Malatya direction "was tied to the final result of the northern front, but the participating troops, or the commanders of the front, had different views." In particular, Lieutenant General Han Shan Biao, that is, the commander of the Sixth Combat Unit who encountered accidents when he reached the battlefield. After being arranged by Pei Chengyi on the western battlefield, Sai Zhibiao was looking for opportunities, but he never found a suitable opportunity.

When the plan for the decisive battle was decided, Sai Zhibiao proposed to abandon Malatya and concentrate his forces to attack Iskenderun. To underscore his point, he offered a reason that even Pei Chengyi could not decide: that after the war, whether it was an independent Kurdish state in the occupied territories or a highly autonomous Kurdish government, it would have to provide the nascent regime with access to the sea, rather than pinning its hopes on Syria, Iraq, or Iran. In addition, it is necessary to consider how to force the US-Turkish coalition to admit defeat. Because Duchway has the headquarters of the coalition forces in Iskenderun. So as long as Iskenderun can be captured, at least the situation can get out of control, and finally force Duchway to make a choice.

In fact, only the first reason is needed to make Pei Chengyi's heart move.

The front-line commanders did not know the fate of the Kurds, but Pei Chengyi knew it very well. Although Li Cunxun has not mentioned this extremely critical issue to him, and Gu Weimin has not mentioned it to him, according to Pei Chengyi's understanding, it is very likely that the authorities of the Republic will follow the example of the United States when the United States instigated the independence of Kosovo and Russia instigated the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, establish an independent Kurdish state in the occupied areas, and gradually transfer the Kurds in Iran, Iraq, and Syria to this new country, so as to build a strategic defense line between Turkey and the Arab countries. Or rather, a strategic buffer zone, thereby completely eliminating Turkey's influence in the Middle East. And so it goes. Even if the Republican team fails to achieve a major victory on the Southern Front, it will weaken the influence of the United States in the Middle East to the greatest extent, further isolate Israel, and lay the foundation for the next settlement of the problem between Jews and Arabs.

Of course, support a pound. A new country is not an easy task.

For example, in the short term, this Kurdish country will certainly not be recognized by the Western world with the United States, or even by European countries such as France, Germany, and Italy, and its survival and development will be very difficult. Another example. Arranging the migration of Kurds from Iran, Iraq and Syria will certainly provoke opposition from the international community, and possibly even from Arab countries, because a state composed of Kurds alone can certainly pose a threat to the Arab world in the long run. And more importantly, what to do with people of other nationalities in the occupied territories, especially the Turks? This is definitely a headache for any government, and it is a problem that can hardly be solved by military means, or by any other political force.

It is precisely like this that Pei Chengyi has to consider the domestic situation.

If it is still Wang Yuanqing who lives in Yuanfu, then the previous problems are not a problem. With Wang Yuanqing's courage, skill, and reputation, not to mention France, Germany, Italy, and other European countries, even the US authorities will have to re-evaluate the serious consequences of confronting the Republic on the Kurdish issue, and the Arab countries will not talk much on this issue. As for the other nationalities in the occupied territories, it is feared that they will be resolved before the end of the war. You must know that in order to fulfill his promise, Wang Yuanqing not only let the republican ** team fighting on the front line personally take action, but also secretly acquiesced in the actions of the Bengal ** team in West Bengal, which eventually led to about 40,000 Hindustani people leaving their homes. Become a war refugee.

The problem is that it is not Wang Yuanqing who is quietly in the Yuan Mansion now, but Gu Weimin.

There is no doubt that in foreign policy, Gu Weimin is much more moderate than Wang Yuanqing. It can even be said to be the most "moderate" state in the republic since the time of the Chronicle. It can be seen from Gu Weimin's attitude towards this war, not to mention being ruthless in dealing with the Turks, and even military operations have to be restrained. As a soldier, Pei Chengyi has always believed that if Gu Weimin could be tougher, perhaps the situation in the Middle East would not have come to this point, at least the US authorities would not be able to make a fuss about the Middle East issue at this time.

In this case, another possibility arises, that is, a highly autonomous Kurdish government.

Although the Republic sent troops to Turkey on the basis of the Kurdish issue, and the evidence presented was supported by the War Tribunal in The Hague and was in accordance with basic international law, there is no reason for the authorities of the Republic to divide a sovereign State from the right, let alone to establish a Kurdish State solely on the basis of military occupation, since only about half of the Kurds are in Turkey, and the remaining half of the Kurds are in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Armenia, etc., if the authorities of the Republic intend to help the Kurds establish a state, It should be treated equally. If we take into account the position of the United States, especially the relations between the United States and Turkey, the authorities of the republic should not risk the Kurdish issue even more. You must know that if the Turkish authorities refuse to accept the fact of defeat, even if the United States can put Turkey at the negotiating table by changing the Turkish national leader, the results of the negotiations will not last long. The region of Hipster Asia may even be plunged into a state of war and turmoil for a long time as a result. For the republic. When entering the Middle East, we certainly don't want to see Turkey in the chaos of World War I. Considering these factors, not to mention that the state is in charge of the people, even if Wang Yuanqing is in charge, he will first establish a "Kurdish government with a high degree of autonomy." After the situation has stabilized for a few years, it is announced that it will decide on the ownership of the Kurdish autonomous region by a vote at the appropriate time, and that various policies will be adopted to allow the Kurds in Iran, Iraq and Syria to move to the Kurdish autonomous region before the establishment of a Kurdish state. As long as various policies and instruments are appropriate to significantly improve the living standards of the Kurds and increase their international influence, then after the old year, a Kurdish state can be established in a legal way on the border between Asia Minor and the Middle East.

This is, so to speak, the most "civilized" means.

Because before that, the Western countries with the United States had used the same method to dismember the pro-Russian Serbia into several countries, and Russia had also used similar methods against Georgia, which had defected to the United States, so as long as the democratic process was emphasized, the actions of the republic in Asia Minor would not be blamed.

In any case, the occupied territories need an outlet to the sea, as he said.

Although during the war, the republic can continue to transport material resources to the northern battlefield through Iran, Iraq and Syria, and after the end of the war, Iran and Syria will be more dependent on the republic, and will not have to deal with the republic on the Kurdish issue, but will still open domestic transportation facilities to the republic, and even help the republic to send supplies to the Kurdish areas, after all, these three countries also hope to take this opportunity to solve their own Kurdish problems.

In the long run, however, the authorities of the republic should certainly not attach too much importance to Iran and Syria, let alone pin their hopes for the creation of a Kurdish state to control the Fengdong region.

Needless to say, Iran is a country that has always wanted to dominate the Gulf and the Middle East, cooperating with the republic. It's just a pure alliance of interests. Although the Iranian authorities have long recognized the republic's hegemonic position in the Middle East and accepted the republic's indirect leadership, as a country with great strength, Iran certainly has the opportunity to become a regional power, and even hopes to become a quasi-power that undermines its ability to exercise its independence. In other words, in terms of overall national strategy, Iran will adhere to the basic policy of alliance with the republic. But in terms of specific policies, Iran will try to balance the influence of the republic in the region in order to achieve national interests.

Iraq's problems are more complex. In the words of the former Iraqi foreign minister, Iraq is not small enough to be easily annexed by other countries, nor is it large enough to lead the entire Arab world. Among the many Arab countries. Iraq's combined national power is second only to Egypt, Sudan and Saudi Arabia, and surpasses Libya, Syria and the United Arab Emirates. Although Iraq's national strength has long since plummeted due to the impact of the war that has lasted for many years, and it has to rely on the assistance of the Republic for the time being, in the long run, even if Iraq does not have the ambition to dominate the Gulf region and the Middle East, let alone the dream of becoming a regional power, the Iraqi authorities will actively seek appropriate statehood to ensure its influence in the Arab world. To put it bluntly, on the main issues of the Arab world. As long as the republic continues to adhere to its present position and actively supports the Arab world as a unified country, Iraq will actively support the republic and become the most important ally of the republic in the Gulf region and even in the Middle East as a whole. It is only while supporting the republic that Iraq will also pursue its national interests, and it will bargain with the republic on some minor issues. There is no doubt that helping the Kurds to establish a state is both a good thing and a good thing for Iraq to profit.

The situation is similar to that of Iraq, except that its overall national strength is not as good as that of Iraq, so it is more pragmatic on specific issues. More importantly, affected by the Golan Heights issue, Syria will not only actively support the reunification of the Arab world in the short term, but will also actively cooperate with the Republic on the Middle East issue. The problem is that the basic conditions of Syria are not ideal, and it is difficult to become the base camp of the republic in the Middle East.

Combining these factors, Pei Chengyi has to make a long-term plan.

In fact, when the 5th Combat Unit and the 8th Combat Unit were asked to open a new front in the Iskenderun direction, Bae Seung-yi did not think of marching to Ankara from this side. As the most Chinese general after the founding of the Republic, it is impossible for Bae Chengyi not to know the difficulty of marching into Ankara, nor how much disaster it will cause. In a sense, Pei Chengyi emphasized the importance of marching into Ankara before the outbreak of the war, and even put the fifth and eighth combat units on the northern front in the name of marching into Ankara in the early days of the war, just to improve the status of the northern front, and told the soldiers on the southern front, including Su Jinhui, that the northern front was the main battlefield. This, of course, also served as an alert to the front-line commanders on the northern front, giving them a high level of attention to combat operations.

In general, Bae Seung-yi also hit Iskenderun's idea.

It was only the performance of the 5th and 8th Combat Units, or the swiftness of the American Army, that made him abandon the idea of marching into Iskenderun and turn his focus to Malatya, trying to end the war with a victory in the middle of the front.

It can be said that it was the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division of the US Army that changed the course of the war. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read

Judging by the war as a whole, the combat operations of the 2nd Panzer Division and the 4th Infantry Division in the Iskenderun direction definitely deserve their trump card title. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division raiding Ibuen. Cut off the logistical supply of the 8th and 5th combat units. "Let the 8th combat unit return to Bakhce, and the 5th combat unit will defend Osmaniye, I'm afraid? Before the old moon, the battle on the northern front would be overwhelming, and the US-Turkish coalition forces would not even have a chance to fight the republican ** team in the middle of the front.

Sai Zhibiao's proposal to attack Iskenderun may also be related to Pei Chengyi's previous deployment.

Mu Yong doubted that Pei Chengyi attached great importance to Han Shanbiao's opinion. The problem is that Pei Chengyi must consider the arrangement of troops from the height of the entire battle situation. Yuan Chenhao did not ask for the support of the 7th Combat Unit, not that he had absolute confidence in the 1st and 10th Combat Units, but that this combat unit was more needed in other directions. Obviously, this catty," other directions. Certainly not the western theater of the Northern Front, but the Southern Front. It can be said that this is where Yuan Chenhao succeeds. While staring at the eastern battlefield of the Northern Front, he also kept an eye on the battle on the Southern Front. Although it is inevitable that the Republican team will win on the northern front, no one can guarantee victory on the southern front. Or to say that it is not defeated by the US-Israeli coalition. If a victory on the northern front is achieved at the expense of the southern front, then the victory will become worthless. In fact. From the beginning. Pei Chengyi is avoiding this situation. In this way, regardless of whether Pei Chengyi is willing or not, after Yuan Chenhao said that he can win with the existing forces, he will have to send the seventh battle to Syria alone, and prepare for a full-scale attack by the US-Israeli coalition on the southern front.

In other words, the 6th combat unit does not want to be supported.

What's more, the 6th Combat Unit was not tasked with attacking Iskenderun, but with Bahce to relieve the 8th Combat Unit and then assist the 5th Combat Unit in capturing Osmaniye alone. If by this time the war is not over. Seshanbiao was able to lead an army against Iskenderun.

Can a miracle be worked for an army that has just entered the battlefield and has just been baptized by the flood?

Before the miracle was born, I am afraid that no one believed that Admiral Sai Zhibiao from the Seam Army would be able to lead this combat unit adapted from the Heavy Armored Army to perform miracles like the Airborne Forces. But after the miracle was born, no one doubted the strength of this combat unit anymore.

On the night of the old day, after the offensive began, Han Tsugaku only sent reinforcements to Bakhche.

In the words of Brigadier General Ma Weiwen, commander of the support brigade, the US 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division could not cut Bach for a long time. Exhausted, if the support brigade cannot reach Bakhce in one go and rescue the trapped Eighth Combat Unit, then they are not worthy of the name of the Heavy Panzer Corps.

Of course, the task of the support brigade was not only Bakhche, but also to open the supply lines to Osmaniye.

The main force of the 6th Combat Unit, the Combat Brigade, did not move north along the high road from Gaziantep, but went directly west to kill Islahiya. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read

It can be said that this line of attack is very unexpected.

Among other things, even Duchway did not expect that the combat brigade of the 6th combat unit would attack Islahiye.

You know, according to common sense. In the sixth battle, a single man was to attack Bakhce, then to Osmaniye, and finally to the south to attack Iskenderun. In this way, it can not only help the two battles to break the siege alone, but also let the 8th and 5th combat units after the siege is relieved to be responsible for logistics support, and can also avoid the defense line of the US-Turkish coalition forces in the Gavor Mountains. The only flaw is that the attack distance is extended by about kilometres. Strictly speaking, this is not a problem, because for an armored unit, an assault on a concave kilometer without blocking is only a few catties. Hours of things. Take advantage of the cover provided by Units 8 and 5. It will definitely be able to make up for the loss of these few hours.

It is precisely because of this that the American-Turkish coalition forces in Islamiye are not at all ready for battle.

It's not yet the early hours of the day. The vanguard of the 6th Combat Unit Combat Brigade broke through the outer line of the US-Turkish coalition in Islamiye. An even more unbelievable thing happened at this time, the vanguard after the breakthrough did not expand the breakthrough to the two flanks, and did not even encircle and suppress the American and Turkish troops behind the defensive line, but continued to advance westward, and before the main force arrived, they passed through the defense line of the American and Turkish forces and entered the Gavul Mountains.

Because the main forces quickly followed, the US-Turkish coalition did not have time to stop the vanguard of the high assault.

It was at this time that the US-Turkish coalition sounded the alarm.

In the early morning of the day, the individual vanguard of the 6th Battle reached Yakachek, west of the Gavul Mountains, and the troops advanced to Iskenderun. More importantly, the forces of the Approx. Thugs captured Krakhan, south of the Gavul Mountains, and assumed the posture of encircling Iskenderun.

Although Duchway was reluctant. But at around 3 a.m., he had to board a transport plane bound for Antalya, accompanied by guards. In other words, before dawn, the US-Turkish coalition began to move its headquarters to Antalya.

Under the circumstances, if Pei Chengyi had been able to dispatch a low-altitude assault force to assist the Sixth Combat Unit in its attack, it would have been very likely that a US general would have been stunned and the US and Turkish authorities would have been forced to admit that they had lost the war.
