As a result, the first combat unit was defeated on time by Pei Chengyi; , then the counterattack of the tenth combat unit hindered Pei Chengyi's surprise. 【】

Soon after receiving the good news of the first battle individual, the good news of the tenth battle was delivered to Pei Chengyi.

In the battle with the U.S. Le Infantry Division, the 10th Combat Unit not only successfully annihilated one part of the 7th Infantry Division, but also defeated another part of the 7th Infantry Division in a counterattack, taking advantage of the opportunity of the U.S. Army to shrink the defensive line before dark. In one fell swoop, he defeated Bismir, which had previously been defended by the Turkish army. The front was advanced towards Diyarbakir for nearly a kilometer. Although this distance is nothing compared to the previous assault operation, it is in the direction of the strong army of Qiangya Bakir. Able to advance the front into blade kilometers in a single day. Absolutely a miracle.

You know, after the 10th Combat Unit defeated Bartman, it sent its previous troops to advance westward, only to encounter a strong Turkish army at Bismir. Although when Li Dongshi adjusted his forces and prepared to storm Bismir, the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army arrived at Diyarbakir, so that Li Dongshi had to give up the plan to attack and honestly made the decision to defend and counterattack, but one thing is undeniable, the troops stationed in Bismir are definitely an ace troops.

According to the intelligence gathered after the war. That was indeed the trump card of the Turkish technical army.

Diyarbakir's strategic importance is self-evident. Even without Dudgway's warning. The Turkish authorities will also strengthen the defense of the region.

Because the U.S. military has made Diyarbakir the terminal of strategic airlift in the region, and only Diyarbakir has a large airfield that can support a large-scale strategic transport fleet, and the other is a few pounds. The city's airports either have runways that are too short. Either the infrastructure is not sound enough to support strategic airlifts, so the Turkish army has raised the importance of Bianyabakir to the level of a regional strategic center. Before the entry of the Diphon combat unit into Turkey, the Turkish army was composed of its most prestigious trump card unit, the only unit that had participated in foreign combat operations, the "Turkish 1st Brigade". The reorganized infantry brigade was sent to Yabakir, and the brigade's assistant, Bismir, guarded Diyarbakir's eastern gate.

this brigade. It was the predecessor of the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade. That is, the "1st Turkish Brigade" is no stranger. In the Korean War of the Blade Century, the 1st Turkish Brigade dealt with the Volunteer Army. Casualties and captured. The losses of the officers and men of the Turkish army ranked third in the joint **, the first was the United States, the second was the British, and the fourth was more. It was also this war that made the Turkish army suffer enough.

After the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Turkey carried out military reforms, and the 1st Brigade was dismantled into several units. At the beginning of the century, when the external threat was decreasing, the Turkish authorities adjusted their national defense strategy, responded to the US call for anti-terrorism, regarded the task of cracking down on domestic separatist forces and anti-government armed organizations, and established the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade and the 1st Artillery Brigade on the basis of the original 1st Brigade to be stationed in the south and southeast for a long time.

As a unit with a glorious tradition, the performance of the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade in Bismir is commendable.

Although the vanguard sent out by Li Dongshi at that time only had the attack of a battalion of thugs, it was already a very remarkable thing. You know, in previous battles, not to mention the hands of a battalion of scouts.

It was the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade that held Bismir and the Americans were able to reach the outside of Batman.

Judging from the situation at that time, if it was not the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade stationed in Bismir, but some other Turkish army, the vanguard of the 10th Combat Unit successfully took the town between Diyarbakir and Batman, and established a defensive position, the US 7th Infantry Division would certainly not have been able to reach Batman.

On the other hand, this situation is in favor of the 10th battle alone. Under the circumstances, if the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army could not capture Baatman. It is very likely that the defensive deployment will be adjusted before the offensive and the rear defense line will be consolidated first, so that the 10th battle alone will not be able to fight against the US army from the beginning, so as to thwart the US offensive and counterattack at the same time, and advance the battle line to the west for dozens of kilometers.

War is inherently made up of all sorts of uncertainties. No one can predict the course of the war with complete accuracy.

With the defeat of the American attack on Bartman. Li Dongshi did not hesitate to issue a counterattack order, and asked the various combat battalions of the 10th Combat Unit to make full use of the advantage of the surprise attack, take advantage of the retreat of the American army to advance the battle line to the west, and try to divide the American army into small units in the high movement, leaving the support brigades that followed behind to annihilate one by one. Because at this time, the first combat unit had already made preparations for a general attack on Sierte in the east, so Li Dongshi could withdraw the several combat battalions he had sent over to serve as an offensive reserve, and he did not have to worry about the problem of troops. Other words. When the 10th battle was counterattacked, Li Dongshi invested almost all his forces.

Concentrating superior forces on local battlefields is absolutely the only way to win.

Facing the onslaught of the 10th combat unit. The 7th Infantry Division of the U.S. Second Zun Chang Defensive War could only steadily withdraw and try to close the loopholes in the defensive line.

It must be admitted that the 7th Infantry Division showed itself very well in the battle during the day on the 8th.

In the case of no superiority in troops, and no superiority in weapons. Clause? It was an absolute miracle that the infantry division was able to hold on to the onslaught of a single man in the 10th battle, and only retreated a thousand kilometers.

You must know that when the offensive turned to defense, the 7th Infantry Division did not have time to build a defensive position, and could only use the mobile defensive tactics that it was not very good at to entangle with the 10th combat unit on the plateau on the north bank of the Tigris River.

According to the report of the 10th battle, in the first few hours of fighting, it did not take much advantage.

It was not until the afternoon of the 8th that Li Dongshi had three combat battalions that had previously assisted the 1st Combat Unit in attacking Silt in the east and had been given a short rest to go around the left flank of the 7th Infantry Division, and then attack from north to south, that they successfully tore through the US defense line and cut out the 1st Separate Infantry Brigade at the front.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the Separate Infantry Brigade of the Cave lasted a whole afternoon.

Because this force is directly east of Bismir, even if Li Dongshi doesn't want to spend too much effort on the American brigade, he can't get around. Anyway, before the establishment of air supply lines. Ground supply channels must be established through the capture of Bismir. Therefore, in the absence of a choice, Li Dongshi could only press all his forces up and strive to quickly annihilate this tenacious US infantry unit.

In this battle, which lasted about an hour. The main role was played by artillery.

According to the combat records of the Artillery Brigade of the 10th Combat Unit, during the battle that afternoon, the fighters of the Fiber Artillery Battalion threw more than 40,000 kilogram-sized artillery shells at an area of less than one square kilometer east of Bismir, where the No. 10 Independent Infantry Brigade was located.

In the face of such heavy shelling, the US military could hardly survive.

You must know that at that time, the US military simply did not have time to build defensive positions, let alone build fortifications that could resist kilogram-sized shells.

Under heavy artillery fire, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Separate Infantry Brigade turned into a battlefield sweep.

Because the scouts made an accurate judgment of the situation of the US troops, knowing that the US troops had not built defensive positions, when guiding the artillery bombardment, they asked the artillery to use the ammunition that posed the greatest threat to personnel as much as possible. And incendiary bombs were used on a large scale, so when the shelling ended, the American positions were completely scorched. According to some who participated in this battle. And the memories of veterans who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield after the war. They arrived at the battlefield in the morning, hours after the battle, and the air was still filled with a suffocating stench, full of burnt and deformed tanks, unrecognizable military equipment, and the corpses of American troops that could only be judged by their form. According to the combat records of the 10th Combat Unit Support Brigade, during the cleaning of this battlefield, a total of the remains of the American troops were found, and about all kinds of tanks and vehicles were used to eliminate the stench on the battlefield.

It can be said that this is after the outbreak of war. One of the most tragic battles.

According to the records of the U.S. Army, the 7th Infantry Division's Concave Independent Infantry Brigade had bladed soldiers and notorious officers, except for the officers and soldiers who remained at the division headquarters, the rest of the officers and soldiers all participated in the combat operation of attacking Baartman, and only less than the bladed people returned to Diyarbakir alive or were captured by the Republican ** team, and the rest were all killed or missing. Because the artillery brigade of the 10th combat unit used a large number of incendiary bombs capable of producing high temperatures of more than four degrees during the shelling, many of the identity cards of the US officers and soldiers who died in the battle were burned, and their true identities could not be determined, so they were all included in the missing list. Exactly. The number of missing in the Separate Infantry Brigade far exceeds the number of killed.

Anyway, this battle also made Li Dongshi feel thrilled.

Although he did not go to the front line, he could learn about the life on the front line based on the images of the scouts returning and the videos taken by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. According to Lee Dong-seok's recollections. At the beginning of the shelling, the No. 1 Independent Infantry Brigade was breaking through to the west, intending to rush to Bismir and use the position of the Turkish Army's No. 1 Thug Infantry Brigade to resist the 10th Combat Unit, so Li Dongshi let the artillery cover from west to east, first striking at the breakthrough American troops, focusing on destroying combat vehicles. In order to prevent the American forces from breaking through, the artillery also dropped about heavy shells carrying anti-tank and anti-personnel submunitions on the road to Bismir in supplementary strikes after the first round of shelling, blocking the road line. It is precisely because of this that when the American army continues to break through, it has to take the time to clear the obstacles in the path of advance. Thus a lot of valuable time is wasted. By the time the U.S. military had basically opened the road to Bismir. The siege and annihilation battle was basically over.

The Separate Infantry Brigade was completely annihilated. Let the situation on the battlefield become more unfavorable to the US military.

It can be said that the situation of the 7th Infantry Division at that time was extremely awkward.

Under normal circumstances, the 7th Infantry Division would definitely have retreated in its entirety. The Turkish Hand Infantry Brigade stationed in Bismir had defeated the vanguard of the 10th Combat Unit, but it was a complete difference against each combat unit, and if the Turkish 1st Infantry Brigade could not hold it, it would not have bought enough time for the 7th Infantry Division to reorganize the defensive line. Then even if the 7th Infantry Division withdrew, it would not be able to gain a foothold in Diyarbakir.

If it can't hold Yabakir, the 7th Infantry Division will have no value in existing.

Faced with this situation, Major General Soriano of the 7th Infantry Division had no choice but to quickly adjust the defensive line and give the 1st Mountain Independent Infantry Brigade time to prepare for defense while the Turkish army was fighting.

In fact, at that time, the Turkish Army's 1st Thug Infantry Brigade became a sandwich layer in the sandwich, and it was only a matter of time before it could be over.

For the Turkish army, the most important thing is courage.

Having repelled the combat units of the 10th Combat Unit in previous battles, the officers and men of the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade of the Turkish Army were confident that they would be able to defeat their opponents again.

After the order of Major General Soriano, the Turkish army did not hold on to Bismir, but took the initiative to attack.

I have to say, at the beginning. The actions of the Turkish army caused great trouble for Li Dongshi. He had to let the exhausted combat troops push to the front, so as not to let the support troops, who were not accustomed to fighting tough battles, encounter the Turkish army and suffer unnecessary losses.

The question is. It is true that the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army is far inferior to that of the US army.

As the US commanders feared, dealing with a combat battalion carrying out forward reconnaissance missions is absolutely not the same thing as dealing with a combat brigade carrying out offensive combat missions.

Shortly after the battle began. The problems of the Turkish army were exposed.

After nightfall, Li Dongshi no longer hesitated, and immediately adjusted his deployment, so that the three combat battalions that had rested in the back and had just had dinner were put into battle. The three combat battalions, which had previously been on offensive duty, were outflanked from both flanks. In order to speed up the assault, Li Dongshi also transferred many non-ugly vertical take-off and landing transport planes, and after the offensive began, he sent thugs to Bismir by means of an air assault. Combat battalions.

There is no doubt that this kind of three-dimensional attack is exactly what the 10th Combat Individual is best at.

The Turkish army soon realized. They are not facing an army that will be easily defeated. The problem is that at this time, it is too late to realize the individual power of the tenth battle.

Because the Turkish army pinned its hopes on a counterattack. led to the emptiness of Bismir's defenses. So the attack on Bismir was much easier than the battle to annihilate the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade. And even more, because in the afternoon battle. The artillery brigade was overinvested, and the logistical support line from Basra to Mosul was not very efficient. Therefore, when encircling and annihilating the 1st Infantry Brigade, the 10th Combat Artillery Brigade alone could not provide full support.

At that time, Li Dongshi had to consider another issue. That is, whether the U.S. Army's No. 1 Mountain Independent Infantry Brigade will kill a horse pistol.

For this reason, after the air assault forces occupied Bismir, Li Dongshi did not speed up the encirclement and annihilation of the 1st Thabist Infantry Brigade, and continued to advance westward with Bismir as a base, but he did not let the troops continue to attack, but built a defensive line west of Bismir. Judging from the situation at that time, the main reason was that Li Dongshi could not determine when he could annihilate the 1st Infantry Brigade and open up the ground passage to Bismir, and the vertical take-off and landing transport planes in his hand only had more than a number of knives, which could not support an offensive operation with sufficient intensity. What's more. After a fierce battle that began on the night of the 7th. The attacking units of the 10th Combat Unit were in dire need of replenishment of combat materiel and had to stop their advance.

In fact, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Turkish Army's 1st Thug Infantry Division did not last long.

With Bismir falling into the hands of the 10th combat unit, the Turkish army's rear road was cut off, and the battle in the afternoon made the Turkish army apprehensive about the long-range artillery fire of the Republican ** team, so at about the night of the 8th, the commander of the Turkish army's 1st thug combat brigade surrendered to the attacking force.

Unlike other commanders, Li Dongshi did not report an immediate victory.

It was precisely for this reason that before he returned, the U.S. Army's 1st Mountain Independent Infantry Brigade tried to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the 10th Combat Unit to return to Bismir, only to run into a bloody attack on the defensive line west of Bismir, leaving behind the corpses of hundreds of American officers and soldiers and the wreckage of hundreds of armored combat vehicles.

Hit to this time. Both sides are exhausted.

After determining that the U.S. military began to consolidate the defensive line and had no intention of counterattacking, Li Dongshi made a good report. It was precisely because of this that the 10th battle unit did not preempt the first battle unit to win the victory.

Anyway. The battle in the direction of Abakr was a fierce battle. In this battle, the 10th battle cost 7 officers and men killed and anvil officers and soldiers wounded. Annihilated the 7th Independent Infantry Brigade of the US Army and the 1st Thug Infantry Brigade of the Turkish Army, and severely damaged the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade of the US Army. This battle fully proved that the 10th combat unit is the most comprehensive combat unit in the army of the Republic!
