Chapter 706: Assad has done a good job
readx;
Attention, air strikes! Hearing the voice, the soldiers at the lookout post hurried back to the fortified underground fortifications. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
After the occupation of the Golan Heights in 1967, Israel invested a lot of strength in this key strategic objective, transforming the entire heights into a vast network of military positions, constructing wide and deep anti-tank trenches at the forefront, 17 support points and 112 pillbox positions or bunker groups behind the trenches, and setting up a large number of anti-tank mines.
This kind of trench is the Golan trench that made a big splash in the 73-year Yom Kippur War. This kind of trench may seem simple, but in fact it has a hidden mystery. According to the general construction method, the excavated soil is usually piled on both sides of the trench. However, the Israeli army went against the norm and piled up all the accumulated soil on its own side and built an earthen embankment more than 2 meters high. The trench was 4 to 6 meters wide and 4 to 9 meters deep, making it impossible for tanks to pass through directly. When the Syrian army used bulldozers to level the trenches, there was no soil available; When the bridge is erected by the bridge tank, the bridge deck is high in front and low in the back because there is a soft earthen embankment on one side of the trench, and the tank on the bridge is shaky and easy to turn into the trench. When the tank crossed an earthen embankment more than 2 meters high, it was very slow, the hull was high, and the weak armor at the bottom was exposed. It's the live target on the other side. In the 73 Yom Kippur War, Syrian tanks suffered a lot in it, and most of the tank losses took place here. ≦≧
In order to facilitate the maneuvering of its tanks, Syria has renovated the road network in the highlands and set up a post with electronic reconnaissance equipment on the top of the highest peak, Mount Hermon. But at this time, the Israeli armored forces in the high ground had withdrawn a few days earlier, and they had only one way to resist in the face of the imminent Syrian offensive, using their own fortifications and taking advantage of the depths. Gradually deplete the combat effectiveness of the Syrian army. Wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
The Syrian attack is hardly new, but it is much more powerful.
The first round of ballistic missile attacks. Successfully lifted Israel's strong fortifications, no matter how strong the concrete building is, it cannot compare to the warhead of a nearly one-ton Scud missile. If it is a nuclear warhead, then it will solve the problem once and for all.
After the ballistic missile attack, the Syrian air force arrived, and the rockets were more powerful than the huge explosive force dropped by the aerial bombs. Although the aerial bomb is powerful, it is difficult to accurately hit the target because it is not a precision-guided weapon, but the rocket is different. The YB-32-57 rocket launchers mounted under the wings of the MiG-23, each containing 32 57mm rockets, are condescending. ≦≧ even if it's a tank. It will also penetrate the weak top armor or rear armor, the fortifications of Israel. It's hard to withstand a few shots.
The fortifications of Israel are already in a sea of fire, and this is only the beginning.
Next, the Syrian artillery, which was deployed behind the forward positions, began a salvo of nearly 1,000 artillery pieces of the army, and carried out a 55-minute heavy bombardment of the entire Israeli defense line.
Syria's completely Soviet-style combat style, advocating artilleryism, and a thousand artillery pieces fired at the same time, the scene was very spectacular. And after the artillery fire, it will be the sortie of their armored corps.
With more than 600 tanks, including 200 of Syria's newest T-72 tanks, the Syrian army is about to launch a fierce offensive against the Israeli Golan Heights.
At the headquarters of the United Arab Army in Amman, the atmosphere was very strong.
"We did not expect that Syria did not join our coalition army, we thought that Syria was afraid, the Yom Kippur War in 73, Syria suffered heavy losses, and in the Lebanese War in 82, Syria did not gain any upper hand, but, now it seems that Syria did not let go of the opportunity we created this time, and when Israel was at its weakest, it intervened hard. ≦≧," said Prince Sultan.
"Yes, Assad did a great job this time." King Hussein of Jordan said.
For various reasons, the top leaders of the Arab countries were very much in favor of the attack on Syria, and for various reasons, they only carried out air strikes and did not start an offensive on the ground, but Syria resolutely took action.
At one time, Syria and Egypt united and launched the Fourth Middle East War in order to regain their lost lands, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. However, they did not achieve their ultimate goal, and the war was only partially won, so that Sadat overestimated Israel's strength and renounced the use of force, but negotiated the return of his land.
Egypt can negotiate, Egypt has since been infamous as a traitor in the Arab countries, and Syria wants to be the boss of the Arab world, and it must not negotiate with Israel, which is also determined by the program of the Syrian political party. ≦≧In later generations, Syria does not have any chance, it would be good if they were not chased and beaten by Israel, but, with the crossing of Qusay, history gave Syria this opportunity, and Assad also seized this opportunity.
The Middle East is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! Qusay thought in his heart, looking at the main commanders of the various joint armies who were hotly discussing, Qusay knew that Assad's big move this time was really happy.
At the same time, Cusay also knew that what he wanted had finally arrived.
This is definitely a good opportunity to persecute the Jews, if the Jews know each other, then, they may still let them go, if the Jews are still so stubborn, this attack will become a real opportunity to destroy Israel, although it really fights, it will be full of huge variables, in particular, it may lead to a strong confrontation from the United States, or even directly send troops to confront, and winning Israel, it means that the entire Arab country will completely break with the Western world, and Qusay still needs to get those things from the Western world, I'm afraid it will all come to naught, and, don't look at the support of the Soviet Union now, once the United States really decides to do it, maybe the Soviet Union will be a turtle with a shrunken head, so that the Gulf War will break out a few years earlier, and Iraq is not ready. ≦≧
Look at how high the chips are given by the Jews! Cusay made up his mind.
Syria has attacked! This news also reached the United States, to the White House, and to the ears of President Reagan.
During this time, Reagan was always woken up from his sleep, and he did not expect that his president would work so hard.
"There is a new change in the Middle East, Syria is at war." CIA Director Casey said with a serious face.
Syria is at war! Although they are all military laymen, it can also be seen that if Syria also enters the war, the situation on the battlefield will change dramatically, after Israel loses its air force, in the face of the attack of the United Arab Army in the south, it will be a little scrambling, if there is another accident in the north, then the Golan Heights, most likely, will fall back into the hands of the Syrian army.
Originally, I thought that Syria and Iraq had contradictions and would not come up to get involved, but now, the situation has completely unexpected.
"We have to intervene, or Israel will probably not be able to withstand it." "If the Israeli air force is still alive, then even if it is to deal with two fronts at the same time, there will be no problem, but now, the Israeli air force is crippled, and the United Arab Army will break through the defense line and enter Israel at any time," Weinberg said. ”
Under the attack from both sides, how long will Israel's army hold out?
In all the wars in the Middle East, the United States did not take direct action, on the contrary, it was the air forces of Britain and France that bombed Egypt.
But now, the situation is different.
What is Israel? Israel is America's only ally in the Middle East! Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are unreliable! All together in the war, they will all stand on the side of their Arab brothers. Now, in the Middle East, a new and powerful country has faintly appeared, Iraq, and what makes the United States most depressed is that this country used to be an implicit ally that the United States considered itself an implicit ally in the Middle East, and the United States helped Iraq to fight Iran, Iran fell, but Iraq rose, and now, it stands on the opposite side of the United States.
Of course, this is not entirely the case, all of this was done by Israel, and if Israel had not engaged in nuclear weapons, there would not be all these problems now. Prior to this, the relationship between the two sides was relatively close.
In order to deal with Iraq, the United States has also used various means, such as instigating rebellion in Iraq, such as funding opposition forces still in Iran, but it has not been effective.
For the sake of America's own interests, does the United States need to get its hands dirty?
"The envoy we sent to the Middle East, McFarlane, conveyed to us the meaning of the Israeli side, hoping that we could fly the fighter planes to Turkey, and they would send people to Turkey to receive the fighter planes." The Minister of Foreign Affairs said suddenly.
Although the United States has not yet regarded the air forces of the Arab countries as first-class air forces, the United States has not yet had any reason to enter the war, and in order to avoid a direct exchange of fire between the two sides, the United States has postponed the delivery of Israeli warplanes.
"Right now, the situation in the Middle East is divided into two different dynamics." Vice President Bush spoke, and he analyzed: "Now it seems that the Arab countries, mainly including Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, their military actions against Israel have always revolved around Israel's nuclear test, Israel's nuclear test, is very wrong, our attitude is also very clear, Israel cannot have nuclear weapons, which has triggered mutual attacks on both sides, mainly Iraq to bear the main force of the strike, we have also imposed sanctions on Iraq, and we have also sent negotiators. In various respects, the contradictions between Israel and these countries are not irreconcilable, and we need to put pressure on both sides, for example, to get Israel to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, for example, we have frozen Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in our United States, to allow the two sides to negotiate peace, and we have resolved the problem of southern Israel when these countries have not yet sent ground forces to attack. ”
