North of Damascus, Al-Mezzeh airbase. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ≦≧

The sleds of the two Gazelle helicopters gently touched the ground, and when one of them landed, it hovered in the air at a height of one meter, and the two team members on both sides unbuckled their seat belts from above and jumped down.

Major General Manav breathed a sigh of relief, the Air Force Command inside Damascus could not go, but he could use this air base as a base for counterattacking Damascus! In addition to the 4th Panzer Division and the Republican Guard, Syria has more than a dozen divisions of armored forces, all of which can come to suppress the rebels, and moreover, his Air Force!

A coup d'état comes at a price! Manav mustered all his courage and stepped out of the helicopter.

Now, the news that the president has died must not be leaked, because he needs to use the president's name to publish Rifaat's rebellion!

April 25, 1985, two o'clock in the morning.

In the air base north of Damascus, Syria, the commander of the Syrian Air Force, Major General Manaf, released an astonishing news to the whole country, in Damascus, the capital of Syria, there was a rebellion, Syrian Vice President Rifaat, Yin plotted a rebellion, instigated the Syrian Fourth Armored Division, entered Damascus, the Republican Guard was caught off guard, captured by the Fourth Armored Division, Rifat wanted to further murder the president, was rescued by Major General Manaf, and now, Major General Manav and the air force he led, Willing to shed his last drop of blood in order to quell the rebellion, Rifaat's rebellion will never succeed! The Minister of Defense and others were all captured by Rifaat, so now Manaf hopes that the rest of the armed forces can rally to him and work together to suppress Rifaat's rebellion!

The news. ≦≧ release at this time. Syria, which was still asleep, suddenly woke up.

After receiving the news, Qusay was very depressed. Scolding Major General Manav, the military command ability is okay, but. Political consciousness is terrible!

There was a rebellion in Rifaat, and all the top positions were captured by Rifaat, except for Major General Manav who escaped, and then organized an army to quell the rebellion. Well, following Rifat will certainly declare that in fact it was Manav who rebelled, and he hijacked the president, and then. Trying in vain to reach the pinnacle of power, Rifat would announce Manav's crimes, and so. Armed forces of Syria. There will definitely be civil strife.

Manav should have quietly contacted other nearby garrisons, such as the 1st Panzer Division and other units that had already been crippled in the fighting on the Golan Heights. ≦≧Since he rescued the president, this is the greatest evidence, he can gather these troops and counterattack Damascus.

Moreover, in this way he announced the rebellion of Rifaat, and the whole world knew about it, how did the USSR react, how did the United States react? How did the rest of the armed forces react? Perhaps, Syria will descend into even greater civil strife, just like the Syria of later generations.

After receiving this news, Qusay immediately ordered the 60th Panzer Division, stationed in the Golan Heights, and the 1st Panzer Division, which had arrived at the border from Mosul, to quickly enter Syrian territory and begin to counter the rebellion.

Iraq needs to resolve Rifaat's rebellion before external forces react! If an agreement has been reached with the Saudi side, then Iraq's actions are just.

Of course, for more justification, he also needs to contact Manav.

April 25 at half past two in the morning, Golan Heights, Quneitra City.

The 60th Armored Division, stationed in the Golan Heights, had already begun to prepare for battle two days earlier, because they were responsible for garrisoning the Golan Heights, so this armored unit had always maintained the highest level. ≦≧

Garrisoned in the eastern part of the city of Quneitra was a tank regiment of the 60th Armored Division, all of which was equipped with T-72 tanks produced by Iraq.

The regimental commander Tux got into the tank from the hatch on the top of the turret, and around the turret, there were 125 mm shells that had been placed, nearly forty shells, all of which had been stored inside the tank.

The 1,000-liter main fuel tank inside the body and two 700-liter additional fuel tanks on the outside of the body were enough for them to complete the 60-kilometer "long" trek.

It is only 60 kilometers from the city of Quneitra to Damascus, and it is possible to drive quickly along Highway 1.

"The whole regiment is ready, in battle sequence, to march to Damascus!" Tuckers shouted over the radio.

Receiving the order to set off, Tuckers was very excited, he is also a person who likes to fight, only in the fire, will he feel his existence, this kind of xingge, and armored Ali is very similar, and he is very brave in battle, in the first few battles, his tank regiment has the most meritorious service, so when changing clothes, his tank regiment gave priority to replacing this most advanced tank produced by Iraq. ≦≧

With advanced equipment, Tariq hopes to test and prove his armor strength in battle, which is comparable to the sharpest 1st Armored Division!

This time the two armoured armies marched together, they were from the Golan Heights, and the 1st Panzer Division was from western Syria, and while the 1st Panzer Division was still navigating the desert, I am afraid they had already settled the battle for Damascus.

With Tuckers' order, the T-72 tanks of the 1st Tank Regiment all began to start, and the rumbling sound suddenly echoed in the station, and then, nearly 100 tanks and tracks began to move, and the hulls drove forward.

Tuckers's tank, from the outside, is no different from other tanks, except that an additional C3I device data link is added inside, which is used to receive tasks from superiors and transmit tasks to the tank battalion, while in the communication between the tank battalion and the company platoon, voice communication is still used.

Tuckers remembered what the German instructor had said when he was a student at the Armored Forces Academy, that in the early tanks, there was no communication equipment. ≦≧ on the deafening tank, the occupants of the car relied on "body language": the commander ordered the driver to turn right, and then kicked the driver's right shoulder with a large leather boot; Turn left and push your left shoulder; Stop with a kick of the head; Kick your head hard and stop suddenly......

From inside the night vision device, Tuckers watched the situation around them, and soon, they were about to enter Syrian territory.

As a strategic location, Syria has laid out a total of five checkpoints in a short distance of 60 kilometers.

If they drove like this in normal times, they would definitely encounter stubborn resistance from the Syrian army, but now, as a friendly army, they are going to rescue Syria!

In fact, when the United Arab Army was stationed in the Golan Heights, the defense here was not so important, at first it was afraid that the Israeli troops in the Golan Heights would be condescending and rolling in torrents, but now, it was their friendly forces on top.

Because Syria suffered heavy losses in the last war, all the original second-line troops, a mechanized infantry division, were disabled and retreated to the rear to rest.

They were very lax in their defenses.

The T-72 tanks moved forward along Highway 1, and they were surprised to find that they encountered little resistance.

When they were about to reach the checkpoint, a Syrian infantry battalion stationed here spotted the massive tanks coming in front of them and froze, if they resisted, they would only be destroyed in an instant.

"Stop, this is Syrian territory, please go back!" It was already clear that the Iraqi armored forces were coming ahead, and the battalion commander in charge of this shouted.

"Brothers, now in Damascus, there is a rebellion, and we have come to quell the rebellion at the invitation of your country." On the T-72 tank at the front, the commander peeked out half of his body from the inside of the turret and shouted to the person in front, his voice, in the rumbling engine sound, still relatively clearly reached the ears of the person opposite.

Damascus, there was a rebellion? The battalion commander began to hesitate in his heart, he had just received two messages, one was sent by the commander of the Air Force, Major General Manaf, claiming that there had been a coup d'état in Damascus, that Vice President Rifaat had imprisoned high-ranking Syrian officials and seized control of Damascus, and that there had been a rebellion in the 4th Panzer Division.

On the other hand, Vice President Rifart sent a message, claiming that Air Force Commander Yin had plotted a mutiny, imprisoned President Hafez, and tried in vain to incite the entire Air Force to rebel, hoping that the garrisons in various places would stick to their positions and not participate in the rebellion.

In the lower ranks, there has already begun to be a confusion about who is the rebel without the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Hafez.

Just when the battalion commander was still hesitating, the T-72 tank at the front, already at full power, rushed towards the level in front.

Anyway, it has already been said that they are going to counterinsurgency, and if the other party does not dodge, it is complicit with the rebels, so naturally there is no need to be polite, and the Iraqi army is not so easy to deal with.

Although the other side also has anti-tank weapons, they simply do not have the courage to use them, and they do not have the opportunity to use them.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The battalion commander already had an idea in his heart, with their own people, they couldn't stop these tank troops at all, besides, the other party said that they were going to go to quell the rebellion, maybe there was really a rebellion in Damascus, they just needed to stick to their current posts and wait for the situation in Damascus to calm down.

The coup d'état, standing on the wrong side, will be in danger at any time, and the battalion commander decided that it is better for him to stay away from this kind of thing.

The rolling torrent of armor, just in the stunned eyes of the Syrian soldiers, drove through the first line of defense, was not blocked by the Syrian army, and there was no clash between the two sides, which was the best result.

Although tanks can pass anywhere, it is obvious that marching in the field is not as fast as marching on the road, and they need to rush to Damascus as fast as possible, so that the coup d'état is still in its infancy, and the problem is completely solved before the intervention of external forces.

So, they chose to go by road, and in two hours, they could drive into Damascus!
