There are both advantages and disadvantages to attacking Diyarbakir. On the bright side, this move completely disrupted Dudgway's tactical arrangement, and the thugs had to abandon the idea of attacking Mardin in the morning, allowing the U.S. Naval Air Corps, which had returned to the battlefield, to concentrate on providing air support to Diyarbakir's defenders against the Republican Squadron, which was besieging the city.

Because it failed to prevent the Republican Army from increasing its troops to Mardin in time, on the morning of the same day, the Iraqi army that had previously been responsible for attacking Mardin handed over the defense of Mardin to the Republican ** team, captured Kyzyltape in the southwest, and then moved south to open up Nusaybin to Qamishli in Syria, opening up a second line of ground communication. After receiving the war supplies from the rear, the Republican ** team and the Iraqi army in this direction could attack along the railroad along the border and along the road straight to the west. Because the Iraqi army is not as mobile as the Republican ** team, and the railway line to the south is safer, the Iraqi army will operate in the south, and the combat units of the 6th combat unit of the Republican Army, which has reached Mardin, will operate on the road line in the north.

All in all, as Mardin became a bridgehead and base camp for sweeping the southern regions of Turkey, Diyarbakir's strategic importance was greatly reduced. Judging from the battlefield situation at that time, even if the Republican ** team could not defeat Diyarbakir, it would be able to sweep the area within a few days, connecting the east and west battlefields.

At this time, a new question arises, that is, whether to stick to Diyarbakir.

From a purely military point of view, the Taurus Mountains are relatively flat because they are flatter to the south of the upper basins of the Eurates and Tigris rivers. It was suitable for large forces to fight, so the main forces of the army of the republic were constantly active in the area and did not cross the Taurus Mountains. From Dugway's point of view. The defense line built by relying on large and medium-sized cities like Diyarbakir is actually not as good as the defense line built by relying on the Taurus River fighting hand. Other words. If a defensive line is established along the Taurus Mountains, it will be more effective to block the advance of the Republican Army.

Before that, Duchway didn't think so because he was politically immature.

If the Taurus Mountains are used as a line of defense. You have to give up all the areas to the south. Whether it is the US authorities or the Turkish authorities. It is impossible to accept such an outcome, at least not to retreat without a fight. As the war unfolded, even if the Turkish authorities were unwilling to accept the fait accompli, they had to agree to Duchway's defense if they wanted to protect themselves.

Of course, there are a few things that need to be done to turn the Taurus Mountains into a line of defense.

It is to cut off all roads in the mountainous area. That is, blowing up all the bridges in the mountainous area, planting mines and induction bombs on important road sections, setting up defensive positions at important intersections, and arming some guerrillas to turn the Taurus Mountains into defensive positions for the US-Turkish coalition. The second is to make full use of the reservoirs in the upper reaches of the Eurates and Tigris rivers to block the traffic routes and block the advance of the republican ** by opening the gates to prevent waterproofing or even blowing up the dams when necessary. The third is to make every effort to control several important towns at both ends of the front, and not give the republican ** team a chance to outflank them in a roundabout way.

To the east of the Taurus Mountains is Lake Van Lake. To the west is the Ataturk Reservoir. Of the strategic points at both ends, Mush to the east and Elazer to the west were the most important. Because both cities were located far from the front line, the defense was carried out by the Turkish Defense Forces. Relatively speaking, Mush was not much threatened, after all, it was impossible for the Republican Army to turn back and attack this small mountain city. In the long run. It is unrealistic to simply hold on to Elazig, and in fact, no city can hold it in a rigid way. To put it mildly, in the previous war, the Army of the Republic had not encountered a city that could not be defeated.

If you want to defend Elazig, you have to broaden the scope of your defense, that is, expand the depth of your defense.

There is no value in extending the depth of the defense to the rear, only to the front.

Strictly speaking, the U.S.-Turkish coalition is defending Elazig, because there are direct railways and roads from Diyarbakir to Elazig. As long as the Republican Army occupies Diyarbakir, it will be able to march on Elazig, and even easily defeat Elazig.

Ran is here, if Diyarbakir can't hold it, it will be difficult to hold Elazig.

At least it is impossible to hold Elazig in a stubborn way.

If you want to hold Elaze, you have to find a way to make it impossible for the Republican Army to attack Elaze. That is, to cause trouble in other directions. In fact. This is also the easiest way to do it. As a result, the U.S.-Turkish coalition would have to deploy heavy forces in Siverek. Long before the battle for Diyarbakir began, the Turkish Defense Forces deployed heavy troops in Siverek and took on the task of transporting war materiel to Diyarbakir. It's just that Duchway can't pin his hopes on the Turkish army. In his words, if the fighting power of the Turkish Defense Forces were really as good as they boasted, there would be no need for the United States to send troops into the war. In order to hold Siverek and pose a threat to Abakir, Dudgway would have to deploy a combat force here, preferably one with a strong assault capability. Obviously, the ideal choice would be the 1st Assault Division.

At that time, Du Qiwei had only this choice, because the new address of this site that could reach Siverek in time had been changed to Sishanwa plus 8 concave, please log in to the threshold

Like the 1st Strategic Division, the 1st Assault Division is one of the more special units in the US military. In fact, at that time, the US army had a total of three special units, in addition to the first two, the third was the first thug planer air assault division. That is, the Congolese Airborne Division, which made great achievements in World War II. After the Peninsula War, because the combat performance of the Occupation Army, the Old Army and the Kou Army of the Republic Army was very prominent, it left a very deep impression on the US military, and it also affected the exhibition of the US army. Against this background, the US Army reorganized the 1st Congo Air Assault Division into an assault division.

The difference between the two words. represents a huge difference in combat effectiveness.

As an air assault division, it does not need an overly powerful ground combat capability, and its main tactic is to seize important strongholds behind the enemy's battle line by airborne, and use air support and artillery support to strike the enemy, waiting for the arrival of its own attacking forces. That is, the infantry relies entirely on air mobility, and only participates in ground combat operations between the upper and lower helicopters, making maximum use of the tactical mobility capabilities of the helicopters.

This tactic has been tried and tested against a weak enemy, but it is not so effective when facing a strong enemy.

In the Peninsular War. The first air assault division suffered a lot in front of the Republic Army. In particular, in the battle to free up the Marine Division, because it was unable to break through the air defense network of the Republic Army, the 1st Air Assault Division was useless, and not only failed to make a contribution, but also almost became a funeral object for the 2 Marine Divisions.

After the reorganization, the establishment of the 4th Assault Division is more like the airborne forces of the republic, that is, more attention is paid to ground combat capabilities.

Of course, the premise of the adaptation is new tactics, and the premise of new tactics is new equipment.

If it weren't for the United States' success in producing a replacement for the North Ugly, that is, a turbojet-powered vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, the US Army would not have been able to reorganize the First Assault Division. You must know that the blade "Osprey" can only carry military jeeps with a combat weight of less than Xintun at most, and cannot transport wheeled combat vehicles with a combat full gravity of more than one ton. It is even more impossible to transport infantry fighting vehicles with blades weighing many tons. Armored forces cannot be projected to the front line, and the ground forces will have little offensive power. It will not be possible to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops. In fact, before the day. The Airborne Forces of the Army of the Republic also did not have substantial armored assault capabilities.

Although with. No remittance comparison. Because the turbine motor is used, it needs to consume aviation fuel, so it is much worse in performance, especially in continuous sortie ability and maintainability, but in other aspects, such as carrying capacity, combat radius, etc., the difference is not very large, and the United States makes full use of the advantages of the turbine motor before making a breakthrough in the spiral magnetic induction propulsion system, which is also a good choice.

In fact, the U.S. Army's first vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft using a spiral magnetic induction propulsion system has completed its design and trial production, is in the process of test flights, and is expected to be put into production by a few years ago.

Anyway. With the use of the North Vertical Take-off and Landing Transport Aircraft, the U.S. Army was able to equip the 1st Assault Division with full combat weight! Stewed left and right infantry fighting vehicles. Although the design of several was relatively unsuccessful, and the total combat weight exceeded the maximum carrying capacity of the northern lead without weight loss, in most battles, especially in battles involving light units such as assault divisions, infantry fighting vehicles, and other combat vehicles evolved from infantry fighting vehicles, such as fire support vehicles, anti-tank fighting vehicles, etc., were able to perform most combat missions.

Of course, the most powerful assault division is the ability to assault and strike in the air.

There was no suitable main battle tank, so among the three brigades of the 1st Assault Division, there were only thugs. The assault brigade and the other two brigades are both air strike brigades, equipped with vertical take-off and landing armed attack aircraft that use the same platform as the northern lead and have the same performance as the one in the north.

Unlike the Republican Army, the U.S. Army never took the lead. In order to avoid friction with the Air Force, the U.S. Army clearly defined its performance and tactical use when developing the Mega-3 Fighter. That is to say, the introduction is used to replace the series of helicopters and the series of helicopters, and is only suitable for vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft for tactical airlift, while the introduction is an army-type combat aircraft used to replace the helicopter gunships and the series of vertical take-off and landing armed attack aircraft. That is, both are a continuation of the helicopter.

In fact, it can be seen from the naming of the two that the US Army is very careful when it develops its aviation. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read

Anyway. No one can deny the performance of the small lead. In fact, from the very beginning, this low-altitude attack aircraft was aimed at the Army of the Republic, one can even say ,... A brilliant performance in the Indian War was the main reason for the development of the U.S. Army. Although at the beginning of the years, that is. … When Luanwen.com came to prominence in the conflict in southern Tibet, the US Army proposed to develop a low-altitude attack aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities and no high requirements for logistical support and ground maintenance. This project has been ranked behind several other major ground weapons projects, and has not been highly valued by the US Army, and it was not until the Liwu fiscal year that the US Army won an additional grant worth $100 million for the project, and made it clear that improvements should be made on the basis of comparison, so as to make full use of existing technology and improve the efficiency of logistics support. It can be seen from this that the US Army completed the work of Xiaoyin in a reluctant way without a choice. According to the original idea of the US Army, this attack aircraft should not only have a powerful strike capability, but also have very good logistics support efficiency, and must use a spiral magnetic induction propulsion system. Instead of a traditional turbine motor.

Thankfully, Boeing, which drove the equipment, did not disappoint the U.S. Army.

From the point of view of ground strike capability, Xiaoyin is not much worse than Vcd. Because the fuselage structure of the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft is also adopted, the logistics support capability of Xiaoyin is not as bad as the legend, and it fully meets the standards proposed by the US Army.

In general, it is a relatively successful low-altitude attack aircraft, and it is also the second combat aircraft operating at low altitudes after the series, with ground strikes as the main task. Of course, with the same. In the case of carrying anti-aircraft ammunition, it can also carry out combat missions for low-altitude air supremacy, that is, vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft used against the enemy.

In the eyes of many people, the biggest regret of the North and Plus is that the electric propulsion system is not used.

In fact, this is both a pity and a pound. Merit.

In the case of using traditional power systems, Shen Shen and can complete a transcontinental flight with the support of a tanker, that is, go to the battlefield on their own. Although the efficiency of this is not very high, there is no need to look at the face of the air force, and it will not occupy the precious strategic air transport force and fast sea transport force.

Exactly. When the rest of the troops had to line up to go to the battlefield. The 1st Assault Division embarked on the expedition alone.

Although the transfer process was not easy, when the group flew over the North Atlantic, there were 2 North Pilots and Thugs and 2 planes forced to land in the Yar Islands. After arriving at Britain on the other side of the Atlantic, the 1st Assault Division stopped for two days to allow the orderly to overhaul and maintain the combat aircraft. Because Greece refused to allow US military planes to cross the border, Romania did not open its airspace. So the 1st Heart Assault Division had to fly to Turkey via Malta, or not from the Mediterranean. After several days of twists and turns, they finally arrived in Antalya, Turkey, on the night of July.

As with the previous arrival in England, after continuous flights, the division had to rest for more than one hour.

If it weren't for the 10th Combat Unit to storm Diyarbakir, it is very likely that Duchway would have sent the assault brigades of the 1st Assault Division to reinforce Diyarbakir on the afternoon of the Fighters, assisted the 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Strategic Division, and sent 2 strike brigades to Malatya to participate in the battle as a sudden low-altitude strike force, specifically against the VTOL transport group of the Republic Army Air Corps.

In the case that Diyarbakir would definitely fall, Duchway naturally would not let the thousands of officers and soldiers of the thug brigade go to their deaths.

Exactly. When Duchway adjusted his tactical deployment, he sent the assault brigade of the 1st Assault Division to Siverek. The division was required to hold this vital city no matter what. The deployment of the 2 strike brigades has not changed, and they are still going to Malatya, but the combat mission has changed. According to Dugway's arrangement. The two strike brigades also dealt with the armored units of the Republic Army while dealing with the VTOL transport aircraft of the Republican Army Aviation, assisted the assault brigade in guarding Siverek, and helped the Turkish army to consolidate the defensive line in the Elazig direction.

Generally. The First Heart Assault Division will fully wield its powerful assault capabilities.

This is the disadvantage of the 10th Combat Unit's assault on Dia Evil. Judging from the overall situation of the battle, with the arrival of the strike force of the 1st Heart Assault Division in Malatya, not to mention the combat operations in the Diyarbakir direction, even the offensive operations in the direction of Mardin in the south will also be affected.

Regardless of whether Pei Chengyi thought about attacking to the north or not, when he continued to advance westward, he had to be prepared to fight a low-altitude strike force with good strength.

Of course, no one will forget that the predecessor of the 10th combat unit was the Zhan Army.

If the 1st Assault Division is the elite assault force in the US Army, then the 10th combat unit is the ace assault force in the Republic Army. You know, in the old combat units of the Army of the Republic. Only the support brigade of the 10th Combat Unit has a fixed aviation combat unit and consists of three transport battalions and three assault battalions. If it weren't for the need to support combat operations in other directions before that, so that the single support brigade of the 10th Combat could not concentrate its actions, I am afraid that the battle situation would not have been like this for a long time.

With the arrival of the 1st Assault Division on the battlefield, a decisive aerial battle with low-altitude attack aircraft playing the leading role was inevitable.
