When Pei Chengyi contacted Su Jinhui, Du Qisheng was also having a meeting with Fa Yang. 【】

Although in the eyes of most people. The United States is the protagonist of the coalition, and Turkey and Israel are both supporting roles, but no one denies Israel's territory, even if it is not the protagonist, it is also the first supporting role. In addition to the strong combat effectiveness of the Israeli army, the high opinion of Israel by the Western news media is also related to Israel's proactive defense policy. In the words of some Western news outlets, Israel will not hesitate to go to war without the involvement of the United States when its homeland security is threatened and there is no other solution. To put it bluntly, in the conflict in the Middle East, the United States is fighting for its interests, while Israel is fighting for survival. This disparity in the realm determines the irreplaceable nature of Israel.

In July, after Israel entered the war, the Israeli army was the absolute main force on the southern front. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanwa plus 8 four, please log in to read

In less than four days of fighting, the Israeli army advanced at an average rate of kilometers per day, and by the night of the 8th, it had not only swept through Dara'a province, but also advanced the front to the northwestern part of Suweida province. It can be seen from this offensive line of the Israeli army that because the US-Israeli coalition forces have dispatched hundreds of thousands of combat troops, they cannot fully deploy in the narrow area south of Damascus, so the Israeli army first advanced eastward and detoured to the east of Damascus in a strategic roundabout, thus opening up the front line and opening up the defense line of the Sino-Syrian coalition forces. This forces the opponent to invest more troops in the frontal defensive line. Because the initiative is in the hands of the US-Israeli coalition forces, the US-Israeli coalition forces will be able to find a breakthrough sooner or later as long as the battle line is pulled apart.

It is undeniable that this tactic made Su Jinhui miserable.

Because there is only one in hand? combat units, so when the Israeli army attacked in a roundabout way. Su Jinhui had to adjust his defensive tactics. Leaving all the burden of positional warfare to the less reliable Syrian Defense Forces, the 9th Combat Unit was left to play the role of firefighters behind the defensive line, while the 2nd Combat Unit was on standby in Damascus. Act as a campaign reserve. It can be seen that in the battle in the previous days, Su Jinhui played relatively passively.

Of course, Su Jinhui can't be blamed for this.

After the battle began. Su Jinhui planned to break up the enemy's attack with an active attack. At that time, Su Jinhui placed the combat brigade of the 9th Combat Unit in Kiswo, south of Damascus, and asked Fu Weimin to prepare enough combat materials to hold out for the day. According to Su Jinhui's deployment, as long as the US-Israeli coalition forces march to Damascus, the combat brigade will strike south along the border between Syria and Lebanon and attack the Golan Heights as quickly as possible. Although with use! It is impossible for a brigade to take down the Golan Heights, which the Israeli army has carefully built for several years, but it can pose a mortal threat to the logistics support line of the US-Israeli coalition forces. As long as Kuneitra can be captured, it can force the US-Israeli coalition to abandon the offensive.

In fact, Su Jinhui did not ignore another possibility, that is, the US-Israeli coalition forces attacked eastward and did not directly attack Damascus. For this. He placed the support brigade of the 9th Combat Unit in Mismiyah and Khaibaib in the northeastern part of Daraa governorate, constructing two lines of defence, with the Syrian Defense Forces (IDF) guarding the outer line of Khaibaib. The inner defense of the Mismiye brigade was supported by the single brigade of the 9th Battle.

It is this deployment. Let Su Jinhui withstand the onslaught of the early stage of the US-Israeli coalition.

Because the US-Israeli coalition did not directly march into Damascus, Su Jinhui did not let the combat brigade go south to attack Quneitla. Instead, Fu Weimin ran directly to Sheikh Misken in southern Daraa province. If this town can be captured, it will be able to block the passage of the US-Israeli army to Hydra, and it will be possible to use the US-Israeli army outside Suweida province. Thus. At that time, Su Jinhui had already realized that the US-Israeli coalition would attack Damascus in a roundabout way to the east.

It's a pity. When Fu Weimin led the combat brigade south, he was stubbornly resisted by the IDF near Naiva. The battle, which took place in the early hours of July, made the officers and men of the 9th Combat Unit realize the strength of the IDF. Until the end of the battle, Fu Weimin had knowledge of several captured prisoners. They were fought by the IDF's "Golan Brigades." That is, the number one ace unit of the Israeli army: the 7th Armored Brigade.

Probably because both sides were a little jealous of the strength of their opponents, so the battle was fierce and short.

After dawn, Su Jinhui asked Fu Weimin to withdraw from Pinglai, and the Israeli army also took the initiative to withdraw from Zhan Jin

By this time, Su Jinhui already knew that the offensive operations of the US-Israeli coalition forces had been carefully planned, and he had long expected that the combat brigade stationed in Kiswo would move south, so the 7th armored brigade, which was the most powerful in the army, blocked Fu Weimin's front, so that the combat brigade of the 9th combat unit returned in vain.

With this task. Su Jinhui showed the overall situation that a front-line commander should have.

After letting the support brigade of the 9th combat unit defend Mismiye and Khaibaib, Su Jinhui arranged a very special task for Fu Weimin, that is, to lead the combat brigade back to Damascus for rest. At that time, Fu Weimin didn't quite understand, but when he returned to Damascus with his troops and saw the Syrian army uniforms sent by the Syrian army, he understood that Su Jinhui asked them to dress up as the Syrian Defense Force.

On the battlefield, the offensive of the US-Israeli coalition forces was unstoppable.

By the morning of July 6th. The U.S.-Israeli coalition has captured several military strongholds in southern Dara'a province, annihilated several Syrian armies, and begun the storming of Khaybaib. With the assistance of the Combat Unit Support Brigade, the Syrian National Defense Forces (SYF) built a small camp in Khaibaib.

I have to say that in the face of the main force of the Israel Defense Forces, as well as the strong artillery support provided by the US fleet, it is definitely a miracle within a miracle when the two Syrian infantry brigades can hold on to the drop. Of course, this is also indispensable for the contribution of the 9th Combat Unit Support Brigade, if there is no support brigade to build a defensive position in advance. Especially those underground tunnels that extend in all directions, the Syrian army may not be able to hold out for an hour.

In the early morning of July 7, the US-Israeli coalition began attacking Misimiyah.

This time, the US-Israeli coalition, which was determined to win, failed to take advantage.

In the first hour of fighting, the support brigade of the 9th combat unit used only three battalions of troops, including a combat battalion that served as a guard, to repel four attacks by the US-Israeli coalition forces, and caused the IDF to lose at least 1,000 officers and soldiers and hundreds of main battle equipment as the main attack. After hitting a wall, the Israeli army also realized that it was the Republican ** team that was fighting them, not the Syrian Defense Forces.

It was precisely for this reason that on the afternoon of the 7th, the US-Israeli coalition adjusted its strategy, and in addition to allowing the two infantry brigades of the Israel Defense Forces to continue the attack on Mismiyeh, the main force advanced eastward from Khaibaib and built a defensive line at Hydra south of Khaibaib. I have to admit that Dayan's ability to predict the battle situation is very outstanding. That same evening. Su Jinhui asked the support brigade and 2 Syrian infantry brigades to counterattack and fight back to Khaibaib. And the defensive positions were reconstructed. By daybreak, the Syrian army could already bombard the Israeli positions in Hydra with large-caliber mortars. It can be seen from this that if the Israeli army had not built a defensive line in Hydra in advance, I am afraid that its eastward advance route would have been cut off.

It's a pity. The forces in Su Jinhui's hands made it impossible for him to continue south.

On the 8th, the US-Israeli coalition forces had reached Shekhba in the northwest of Suweida Province, and it was possible to attack Suweida at any time.

It was also at this time that the combat brigade of the 9th combat unit, dressed in the Syrian army uniform and painted the tank in Syrian army livery, arrived in the desert in the northern part of Suweida province. When the US-Israeli coalition adjusted the pace of its offensive and prepared to attack Suweida, Fu Weimin led the combat brigade to fight a very beautiful counterattack.

In the afternoon of the same day, the combat brigade began to lay siege to Shekhba.

Because this is the key to the Israeli army's strategic detour, the Israeli army has not budged. More importantly, in the case that the road to a direct attack on Damascus is blocked, if the US-Israeli coalition forces want to attack Damascus through a strategic detour, they must occupy Suweida, and they must attack while defending.

It is precisely like this, when Pei Chengyi contacted Su Jinhui, the first thug Marine Division of the US army was killing Suweida.

Duchway contacted Dayan for no other reason than to find out how quickly the Israeli army could march to Damascus under the condition that the US Army's 1st Marine Division was responsible for attacking Suweida. Or rather. Can you defeat the 9th Combat Brigade in the battle of Shekhba.

Stand on the tip of Dayan's position. He had no other choice.

The original decision to attack Damascus in a roundabout way was to avoid the defensive positions southwest and south of Damascus, and to make full use of the IDF's mobility to annihilate the main force of the Sino-Syrian coalition forces in a mobile war. And to provide space for the investment of more combat units. What Dayan did not expect was that the 9th Combat Unit of the Republic Army was far superior to the IDF's ace units, and was much better at destroying the enemy in motion. Although the performance of the Syrian Defense Forces (SDF) was indeed very bad, far from being able to dominate itself, the IDF was unable to open up the situation in the face of the ninth battle alone.

Judging by the situation on the night of the 8th. The Israeli army has only two choices, either hold on to the gains or attack with all its might.

The results of the former will certainly not be any better for the Israeli army. In Du Qiwei's words, if the Israeli army stops attacking, Pei Chengyi will be able to put the main force on the northern front. When he solves the problem on the Turkish side, he will free up his hands to clean up Israel, and when the time comes, the Israeli army will not only be unable to hold on to the gains it has achieved. It will even lose the Golan Heights, thus completely losing its strategic superiority in the Middle East.

All in all, Dayan had no choice but to let the Israeli army continue the offensive.

Of course, there are ways to attack. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read

As a small country with a population of only a few million, it is certainly not wise to fight the casualties and attrition of an adversary. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the protection of the living force was given top priority. After the Fourth Middle East War. Israel is locked in a situation of no war and no peace with the surrounding Arab countries, and Israel's opponents have become Palestinian guerrillas supported by Arab countries, as well as Allah guerrillas in Lebanon. During this period, an unwritten rule developed within the IDF that if the Israeli army killed or injured thugs in an attack, they would kill the opponent's old man. This shows that the IDF is not only strong. He also cares a lot about the lives of officers and soldiers.

If we want to unleash the fighting power of the IDF, we have to fight a bigger battle with the Israeli army.

After Duchway proposed that the Israeli army should actively attack, Dayan made a very direct request, that is, the Israeli army would continue to attack westward and fight the opponent in the desert in the north of Suweida Province and the southwest of Damascus Province, and the US Army would provide air support for the Israeli army in addition to continuing to provide long-range artillery support.

Du Qiwei agreed to this request without even thinking about it.

Although in the battles of the former state several more. The Israeli army accounted for a large number of officers, and even the combat brigade of the Sichuan-Jiu combat unit of Li Zaizhi suffered hardship, and Ding Ying suffered extremely heavy losses in the battle for air supremacy. It is not that the equipment of the Israeli Air Force is not good enough, but for decades, the Israeli Air Force has not had to worry about air supremacy at all, and almost all of them are pressed right, so the construction of the Israeli Air Force is more inclined to air support than to seize air supremacy. Among the hundreds of fighters of the Israeli Air Force, there are only a few dozen heavy air supremacy fighters that mainly seize air supremacy, and the rest are all multi-role fighters that mainly focus on ground strikes. Because the deployment adjustment of the US Air Force will not be completed until Japan, after Israel entered the war, the Israeli Air Force was "taken care of" by the Republic Air Force. "After more than three days of high-intensity fighting, the Israeli Air Force has almost lost its combat capability. To the great comfort of the Jews, the Syrian Air Force was almost completely wiped out by the all-out blows of the US Air Force and Navy.

What's more, Du Qiran guessed Dayan's intentions.

In the battle for positional battles; Not only will it be difficult for the Israeli army to take advantage, but it will also pay a lot of casualties, and Dayan certainly does not want to exhaust the last drop of Israel's blood in the battle for position. From Dayan's standpoint, he is hungry for a victory, and the fighter is even more hungry for a victory that doesn't require much blood. Obviously, fighting in the open desert was more in line with Dayan's appetite. And in this case, Dayan will have no choice. It can only be fought in a decisive battle with the Sino-Syrian coalition forces.

Looking at it from another angle, this is exactly what Dudgway wants.

Of course, neither Dayan nor Duchway wanted the US-Israeli coalition to suffer defeat in this decisive battle.

Since it was impossible to send reinforcements to Israel in time, the only thing Duchway could do was to meet Dayan's request and mobilize all support forces during the campaign to help the IDF win the battle that could not be lost.

It wasn't just Dayan and Duchway who realized that the decisive battle was coming.

In a phone call with Pei Chengyi, Su Jinhui also mentioned the decisive battle, and also concluded that the decisive battle would be fought in the desert southeast of Damascus.

In fact, with the situation of the war at that time, a decisive battle was certainly inevitable. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanwa plus 8 four, please log in to read

After the Israeli army came out of the Golan Heights, it has been attacking eastward, and has not aimed its attack arrow at Damascus, hoping to obtain a battlefield suitable for a decisive battle, rather than burning the flames of war into the territory of Jordan, which maintains neutrality. Su Jinhui let the Sino-Syrian coalition retreat step by step, and fought desperately with the US-Israeli coalition forces in Deira Province for control, in addition to expanding the depth of Damascus's defense zone to the south, the biggest purpose was to prepare for the decisive battle later.

It can be said that Su Jinhui's ability to plan for battles is not under Pei Chengyi.

As a general who came out of the concave army, Su Jinhui definitely does not lack the ability to command the decisive battle of the armored group. You must know that the Concave Army is the most prestigious heavy armored army of the Republic Army, and it is the unit that is best at fighting armored group battles. In the Battle of Seoul in the Peninsular War, the Battle of Calcutta and the Battle of Bangalore in the Indian War, the Concave Army showed a toughness far beyond other legions

Force.

Compared with Dayan, Su Jinhui has both advantages and disadvantages.

The biggest advantage is: He can command 2 combat units at will, and can convince the Syrian commander to obey his orders. In contrast, Dayan could not mobilize two U.S. Marine Divisions like a finger.

The biggest disadvantage is: Su Jinhui has too few troops in his hands. Although when discussing tactics with Pei Chengyi, Su Jinhui clearly mentioned that in the sports warfare in the desert area, the combat effectiveness of the combat unit can be maximized. In order to make up for the problem of troops, but he also mentioned that because of the small number of troops, he did not throw the heavy responsibility of frontal defense to the Syrian army, resulting in the emptiness of the flanks.

Addressing this issue. The solution proposed by Su Jinhui is "shrugged"

This is also the issue that Pei Chengshu is most concerned about.

According to Su Jinhui. Dayan is very likely to have the US 2nd Marine Division, which has not been on the battlefield, to assault Damascus from Shekhba, and assume the posture of encircling the Syrian army south of Damascus and forcing the Syrian army to move eastward. Israeli reinforcements, already assembled in the Golan Heights, will be able to advance along the Lebanese-Syrian border toward Damascus. It can be said that this set of offensive tactics of the US-Israeli coalition forces cannot be dealt with head-on, and the only way to resolve it is to quickly defeat the main force of the Israeli army in a decisive battle, and then move westward to compress the assault space of the 2nd Marine Division and thwart the campaign attempt of the US-Israeli coalition forces.

At this time, Su Jinhui clearly mentioned that in order to achieve this goal, sufficient fire support must be provided.

It's not just artillery support. Air support had to be provided.

In order to attract Pei Chengyi's attention, or to let Pei Chengyi agree to the request for support, Su Jinhui also hinted that Pei Chengyi's low-altitude attack right unit of the Army Aviation has arrived in Iraq and can participate in combat operations on the southern front at any time. If a unit of low-altitude attack aircraft designed to deal with armored units can be put into use on the southern front, the situation on the battlefield will be completely changed, and the chances of victory for the Sino-Syrian coalition forces will be greatly enhanced.

Of course, Pei Chengyi also knew what Su Jinhui meant.

Judging from the situation at that time, Pei Chengyi had no other choice.
