Chapter 1103: The Liberation of Gaza

readx;

"We must step in immediately to help Israel enter and retake the Gaza Strip. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Cheney's words echoed in the small conference room.

Iraq invaded, suddenly sent troops, and occupied the entire Gaza Strip, which Cheney absolutely could not tolerate.

Just when war was raging on one side of the planet, on the other end, the US high-level also began an emergency response.

"But Iraq has not declared war on Israel, they have made peace in vain, and they have not invaded beyond Gaza, nor have they targeted Israeli civilians." "According to the original U.N. resolutions, it was originally Palestinian territory," Secretary James said. ”

James did not mean to favor Iraq in the slightest, he was just talking about the situation that appeared.

"Didn't we station troops in the first place to maintain order in Israel and in the Middle East? Now that the Arabs have broken the status quo, we have to let them know that we in the United States will absolutely not tolerate such a situation! Cheney said.

"If we were going to fight, how many troops could be committed right now? How high are our hopes of victory for the white spoon? Bush asked, and when it came to fighting, he was interested.

The current election situation is not optimistic for him, and if he wins a beautiful battle, he can win some political capital, which may be beneficial for the election, otherwise, the White House may be conceded to the guy who shouts for peace all the time and can only play the saxophone.

"We are at the Eufda airbase in Israel, and now we have four squadrons of F-15 fighters and one squadron of F-15E strike eagles, and two squadrons of F-16 fighters, which, if dispatched, can fully take on the task of seizing air supremacy with Iraq, at the Yotvata Army Base, two armored brigades of the 1st Panzer Division of the Seventh Army, at this time have arrived at the Yotvata Army Base, which is not more than two hundred kilometers from Gaza, and if we attack at full speed, we can do so before the sun falls, Retake Gaza. Cheney said with confidence.

At this time, the Soviet Union was already weakened, and it would be a great irony to use the powerful military power of the Soviet Union to ravage a weak Iraq, if the United States could not do it. Cheney is still very sure of the combat effectiveness of the US army, especially under his foresight, the troops of the Seventh Army have arrived, although it is only two armored brigades, but the combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than the Israeli armored brigade.

If it weren't for the stupid guys' stopping, the entire Seventh Army would have gone to Israel now, and now the two armored brigades have a similar task of retaking Gaza, and it will not be enough to completely solve the problem of the surrounding Arab invasion.

Two hundred km? Hearing Cheney's words, Bush asked, "Do we have enough fuel stored there?" Can you afford it? ”

Hearing Bush's question, Cheney had no words, he was still a layman, and when it came to strategy, he could say a lot, but when it came to specific tactics, he really didn't have too many insights.

In this regard, Bush is better than him.

Fuel oil! You know, the main force of the First Armored Division is the M1A1 main battle tank, which uses a gas turbine, this engine, so that it has unrivaled power, which is modified from an aero engine, compared with the internal combustion engine, fast start, fast acceleration, few parts, however, its shortcomings are also inevitable, that is, oil tiger!

Normally, after driving for three hours, you need to refill the fuel once, and this kind of tank requires strong logistics.

The main battle tanks of the United States have just been transported there, and that base, is there so much fuel to replenish? It is a desert area, and even water resources are not abundant.

"It's not just about fuel." General Powell, who was next to him, spoke: "Our White Spoon main battle tank is designed for the European region, and in the hot desert area, I am afraid it is not adaptable, and our White Spoon soldiers have not yet adapted to it, so if we are forced to send out our White Spoon troops, I am afraid there will be many problems." ”

Powell knows everything, and he doesn't know whether their white spoon tanks will adapt to the climate there, especially since the wind and sand will increase the failure rate of their white spoon engines.

What Bush needs is a complete victory, and if their white-spoon operation is damaged, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the current situation.

Is Iraq's target just the Gaza Strip, not Israel as a whole? Defeat Israel, but the ultimate goal of their Arab entry o Ah!

The army is not suitable for the time being, so what about the air force? Bush had this question on his mind.

At this time, the latest battle report came.

"A few minutes ago, the Israeli and Iraqi air forces engaged in an air battle with a record of four to one."

After receiving this news, Cheney said with a smile: "The Israeli Air Force is still the most powerful, although Iraq is clamoring, it will not have any advantage in air combat." ”

"Israel was shot down three and one was damaged, all F-15 fighters, and only one Iraqi was damaged." Powell said as he looked at the next line of the battle report.

"Send our White Spoon aircraft carrier into the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea to deter the Arab invasion!" Bush said immediately.

............ "Egypt has broken the agreement with us and has taken the initiative to attack us, and we should take the initiative to attack and take back the Sinai Peninsula!" It was a mistake for us to give up the Sinai Peninsula on our own initiative, otherwise we would not have faced the current situation at all! Netanyahu said.

Israel voluntarily gave up the Sinai Peninsula and handed it back to Egypt for the sake of a peace agreement with Egypt, but unexpectedly, it is now being used by Iraq.

Netanyahu brought this out again just to prove the mistake of the Labor Party, which should not have handed over the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt!

Rabin knew that there was a price to pay for choosing peace, so why didn't he know it? In the Third Middle East War, Rabin, as Chief of the General Staff of the Israeli Army, commanded the battle to occupy large areas of Arab territory such as the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, but he knew that it was easy to occupy them, but it was never Israel's territory, and Israel would never be able to manage the Arab territories above.

Now, the Sinai Peninsula has returned to Egypt, the Golan Heights has been taken back by the Arabs, the Gaza Strip has just planted the flag of Iraq, and what about the West Bank?

The situation at the front line is not optimistic, and Netanyahuyi 1ri is taking advantage of this to launch an attack on them.

"Our problem now is to solve the invading army in Gaza, not whether the Sinai Peninsula should be returned!" Moses said, looking at Netanyahu with piercing eyes, and he wouldn't mind giving Netanyahu two slaps if he dared to say anything unpleasant.

Israel is not without troops, but their white spoon army, mainly in the north, now, they do not know, the Gaza region is not a trap, when they move troops over, Iraqi troops, will be in the West Bank again.

The emergency mobilization order has been issued, and the reserve forces are being assembled, but, most importantly, the Israeli top brass is undecided.

"Perhaps, we should invite the United States to dispatch, if they send from the south, it can alleviate our current situation of insufficient troops, Iraq's armored forces are very well equipped, but they are definitely not the opponent of the main armored division of the United States." At this time, the chief of staff on the side said.

Isn't the purpose of the United States stationing troops in Israel to protect Israel's security? Although Israel is very confident in its own force, but now that they are short of troops, and the American army is idle there, isn't it time for them to be white-spooned?

Rabin cleared his mind, and now, it is indeed a good choice to bring the United States in.

"Notify the U.S. side immediately!" Rabin said.

It was almost noon, and the fighting in Gaza City had reached its final stage.

Hamas paid a heavy price in order to prevent the Israeli army from entering Gaza, and their white spoon militants, at this time, there were less than a hundred left, and Hamas's senior officials, during this period of operation, were successfully eliminated by the Israeli air force's targeted killings, including their white spoon spiritual leaders, all of whom were killed under the bombs.

If it were not for Iraq's entry, Hamas would have been completely wiped out by Israel, and Iraq had come at the right time.

The 217th Armored Brigade and the Golani Infantry Brigade, which were besieging Hamas, immediately switched from offensive to defense after receiving the news of the destruction of the 460th Armored Brigade, preparing to crush the Iraqi army in Gaza City.

At this time, the remaining Hamas fighters, who had been pressed and beaten by them, finally began to counterattack, and when the opponent turned around, they launched an attack from behind, using rocket launchers, and destroyed several tanks.

Ali's armored forces marched into Gaza City and immediately plunged into the assault on the Israeli army, where infantry and tanks worked closely together and began to sweep the entire neighborhood.

The Israeli army wants to fight in the streets, and there is almost no way because they are not familiar with it, and now even ordinary people are starting to do it to them.

The hatred of the Jews, who had always been there, exploded after the arrival of the Iraqi army, who threw stones at the Israeli army from the next building, and Molotov cocktails at their white-spooned armored vehicles, which were almost more energetic than the regular army.

If the commanders of the 217th Brigade and the Golani Infantry Brigade had not taken the opportunity to evacuate immediately, they would have all been wiped out in the city, but even if they left the city, they would not have ended well, and the rest of the 35th Panzer Division was ready to surround them.

Moreover, by now, they have run out of white spoon oil.

On the afternoon of July 2, the Iraqi army finally recovered the entire city of Gaza!
