Chapter 448: Defensive Strategy
After all, the Israelis are not stupid, and the information exposed by the failure of the first air raid is enough to make people pay attention to the future technology group.
The second air raid even lost a fighter plane, and the pilot became a prisoner of the Future Technology Group.
These two air strikes, together with the two Israeli warplanes shot down during the war between Lebanon and Israel, contain even more information.
The most direct information is that the Future Technology Group has very advanced air defense weapons, which can accurately shoot down low-flying high-speed fighters.
At the same time, the lethality of this missile for war is really not weak, after all, the fighter itself still has a certain defensive power, and there are some individual shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, even if they can hit the missile, but it is not 100% to shoot down.
In particular, the F-16s of the Israeli Air Force have all strengthened the belly armor of the fighters to varying degrees, in order to be able to resist those anti-aircraft weapons as much as possible in this part of the Middle East.
However, the two fighters were easily destroyed on the battlefield, which shows that the individual air defense missile of the Future Science and Technology Group is indeed not weak in the air against the fighters.
However, the fighting on the ground did not subside because of the defeat of the air force, and in a matter of days, the number of Israeli ground troops around the town of Etashap increased to three or four thousand.
At the same time, countries have also begun to mediate, hoping that the two sides can stop the war, but for the Israelis, Lebanon's act of war needs to be a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
For the Lebanese side, the war is only in retaliation for Israel's resistance to the seizure of the country.
Such wars will not stop as long as Israel does not return Lebanese territory one day.
Mediation is not that simple. Not to mention that both sides are old enemies. It's just a red eye when you meet. When war breaks out, it's not so simple to stop.
Moreover, after this war, both sides have suffered large casualties, and it is not possible to achieve peace negotiations or sign an armistice agreement again in a short period of time.
On multiple battlefields in Lebanon, Israeli ground forces numbered more than 30,000 troops. Fierce battles with Lebanese troops are fought every day.
The fighting has even reached hundreds of kilometers into Lebanese territory, and both Israeli and Lebanese forces have suffered many casualties.
A large number of Lebanese civilians and civilians in Israel have also suffered heavy casualties under the fighting, and in just a few days, the total number of civilian casualties in both countries has reached tens of thousands.
Lebanese rockets are being fired at Israeli territory whenever they have the opportunity, and the Israeli air force has also carried out a large number of aerial strikes on buildings and facilities in Lebanon, which have also caused huge civilian casualties.
The two sides are clearly retaliating against each other, and war is no longer a military thing. It has turned into a conflict between two countries and peoples.
On the frontline battlefield, the war also goes over time. It became even more tragic.
On the one hand, it is a drum of momentum to retaliate, and on the other hand, it is full of strength to resist and counterattack.
On every battlefield, the sound of artillery fire and gunfire has hardly stopped.
Etashap, in this small battlefield, the losses of the armies of both sides obviously exceeded any battlefield.
After several days of fighting, despite the stubborn resistance of the Lebanese army, the Israeli army was able to use its superior equipment to defeat several times the enemy, and slowly took control of this transportation town connecting the eastern and western cities.
It's just that the Lebanese army has not given up the fight for this town, because they have always held the commanding heights on the battlefield.
Located in the north of the town, a mountain range tens of kilometers long, under the steep and rocky rocky mountains of this mountain range is Ethasap.
The Lebanese army occupies the high ground of the mountains, so that the town is already under the control of the Israeli army.
The east-west lines of communication were also cut off, but the mountains, lying on the edge of the east-west artery, could at any time cut off the movement of Israeli forces in either direction.
If the Israeli forces want to continue their advance into the Lebanese hinterland, what they need to do is to completely crush the Lebanese forces entrenched in the mountains.
Otherwise, once the army moves, there will definitely be no peace in the rear.
However, the Israeli side does not seem to intend to continue to let the troops advance, but to start building defenses in Etashap.
It seems that they have a plan to hold on here for a long time, but then a problem arises, the commanding heights of the town are not in their hands.
And the Lebanese troops can take advantage of their superiority and carry out artillery strikes on Israeli troops in the town.
From time to time, he also organized troops to attack the Israeli troops in the town, and the daily fighting did not stop.
And the Israeli forces have not stopped attacking the Lebanese forces entrenched in the mountains.
The battlefield between the two sides has shifted to the part from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and when they get here, the Israeli forces, which still have the upper hand, are estimated to take the commanding heights of this mountain range in a few days, and then the Lebanese troops will fall into a passive situation in turn.
And it was not until this time that the troops of the future security company officially and quietly entered the battlefield.
This is unknown to both sides, for the sake of absolute secrecy and to prevent the Lebanese army from divulging its operations.
None of the troops from the Future Security Company informed the Lebanese army.
However, the number of troops that officially entered Lebanese territory was not very large, only three or four hundred.
However, these three or four hundred people are all the elite of the Red Police Corps, including the special operations unit led by Zhang Xuchen and the sniper unit led by Tang Zuwang.
These two forces did not come to Lebanon, as the air defence forces did, but simply to assist the Lebanese forces in defending themselves against air threats.
They have only one goal, and that is to inflict as much damage as possible on the Israeli forces.
In the modern war environment, those special forces who have been trained harshly, each of them has the ability to change the situation of the battle on the battlefield.
Cai Ruichen, who is destined to not be able to participate in this war on a large scale, can only send special operations forces and let two heroes lead the team into Lebanon to fight.
As for the large army, it is not that the troops of the present world are reluctant to send, but the action of the large army, which is not a simple matter.
It is more than 600 kilometers from the town of Marin to Lebanon, passing through Syria and the areas occupied by the Islamic State.
As for the use of tactical air transport planes to transport troops, it is almost impossible for the current troop structure of the Red Guard Corps.
Of course, there is no need for him to help Lebanon in this way, and he has already sent a lot of air defense troops to Lebanon before that.
With these special forces going, it is enough to be able to cause huge problems for the Israeli army.
As for confronting the Israeli army head-on, not only is there no such time to do so, but the conditions for a full-scale confrontation have not been met.
The second division-level unit that is now being formed has not yet been completed, and preparations are already underway for the recovery of Salah al-Din province.
And this battle is also the first time that the Red Guard Corps has fought far away from the radius of the base, and cannot get the complete intelligence support of the base.
All can only rely on themselves, in terms of logistics and supply, if necessary, there will be tactical transport aircraft airdrops.
The Red Guard, which has not been exposed to the air force so far, is also preparing intensively for war, and two Intruder fighters are produced every three days.
By now, the strength of an aviation brigade has been formed, and there are twelve Intruder fighters at their disposal.
However, such an air force is still very weak in the face of the Israeli Air Force, even if the modified AWACS aircraft can be lifted into the air and officially join the air force combat sequence of the Red Guard Corps, but the weakness of the force structure still cannot face the huge fleet of the Israeli Air Force.
At present, they are only preparing for Israel. Strategically, it is mainly based on small-scale special operations and strategic defense.
Unless the Red Guard Regiment is already equipped to resist the frenzied offensive of the IDF, such tactics will not change in the short term. (To be continued.) )
