In the headquarters of the 262nd Assault Battalion, Benjamin looked at the latest battle damage report in his hand with blazing eyes.

According to the report, the two formed infantry divisions were subjected to a fierce air attack by the Iraq-Syrian Federation at the same time ten minutes earlier, and the angle of the attack was very accurate, directly hitting the base camp of the infantry division, along with the headquarters and almost all the heavy equipment, all of which were destroyed.

These two attacks caused great losses, not only a large number of casualties, but also the equipment and ammunition depots of the two self-propelled howitzer battalions were all destroyed with precision, armored vehicles and a large number of rapid assault vehicles, and there were few left.

At present, in the camps of the two infantry divisions, there are still ammunition explosions, and the whole scene is a bit miserable.

These two infantry divisions were expanded from the original reserve forces, and they were not the main battle ace troops, and the impact was not too great compared to the overall combat effectiveness of the IDF.

However, it is still a heavy blow to the morale of the current army that cannot be ignored.

Because these two infantry divisions were all accurately hit by the air force of the Iraq-Syria Federation under camouflage, those ground camouflages against the air seemed to have lost all their effect.

What really made Benjamin feel heavy was the third report in his hand, and the battle damage data in this report were all from the ace of Israel's active forces, the Mountain Division.

So far, the IDF has only one division-level unit dedicated to mountain warfare, and it is the most adept integrated unit of the entire IDF in mountain warfare.

Originally, this mountainous area was the battlefield of this mountain division, but no one thought that this elite mountain division had completely lost its combat effectiveness without even firing a single shot.

The two field mountain artillery battalions of the Mountain Division have completely become a thing of the past, and all the helicopters belonging to the Mountain Division have been destroyed in the camouflaged hangars.

The headquarters of the mountain division and all the main force stations were all bombed devastatingly, and this kind of precise and targeted bombing caused the mountain division to suffer huge casualties at the moment of the bombardment.

At present, the most optimistic estimate is that less than half of the soldiers who are still capable of fighting in this mountain division are left, excluding the logistics personnel, all the main equipment has been destroyed, and the artillery and helicopters that are supported by the mountains are a little bit left.

It can almost be said that the IDF's mountain divisions have completely lost their ability to fight.

The attrition was half, plus the equipment was almost destroyed, such huge losses that in the war, it was already possible to declare this unit combat-ready.

Although soldiers are able to engage with guns, after losing all their main battle equipment and rapid support capabilities, in modern warfare, especially in large-scale field confrontations, that combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

Because the opponent cannot give you the opportunity to fight in close combat and fight bayonets, once a war breaks out, you will face artillery shells and tanks or helicopters and fighters, not a group of infantry charging forward.

In a short period of 10 minutes, the three main division-level units in the southeast, south, south, and south directions all lost their main combat capability.

The command of the Israeli army group, naturally, was extremely annoyed, if it were not for the fact that the special forces of the other side could still operate in their rear, such losses would not have been possible at all.

The air force of the Iraq-Syria Federation is not a god, and under good camouflage, it is extremely difficult to find the location of the troops after camouflage, and without the precise guidance of eyes on the ground, the air force attack of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation cannot be so smooth.

And this group of hidden 100,000 troops in the mountainous area covering the front square kilometers is actually very scattered when dispersed, even if the Iraq-Syrian Federation carries out high-density firepower strikes on this mountainous area.

Even if hundreds of thousands of shells are poured in a day, it will not help, and between the mountains, there are various places where you can avoid the trajectory of the shells, such as anticlines.

If it is an air raid, then it is even less afraid, and even if all the air forces of the Iraq-Syria Federation are put into it and carry out carpet bombing, the effect will be minimal.

That's why the IDF is able to confidently and boldly gather its troops in this mountainous area, which is arguably the safest place in Israel at the moment.

Coupled with the presence of the 262 Assault Battalion, it can ensure that even if the enemy's special forces infiltrate, they can launch counter-special operations at the first time.

But I didn't expect that everything was well conceived, but the result was so unsatisfactory.

The camouflage and concealment of the troops have indeed been done quite well, but they have not yet made achievements in counter-special operations.

In just ten minutes, three division-level troops were destroyed, which was a loss of tens of thousands of people.

Without even encountering the enemy, without even having a chance to shoot, he was erased from the list of the main battle troops.

How did this keep the Israeli military command from getting angry, and the angry army group command directly sent the initial battle damage report to Benjamin, with a very clear meaning, it was necessary to kill as much as possible the special forces infiltrated into this mountainous area by the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

Otherwise, it is not known how many troops will be destroyed by the air superiority of the Iraq-Syria Federation.

Now this special forces of the Iraq-Syrian Federation is already a sharp knife hanging over the head of every Israeli soldier, and this sharp knife has fallen several times and killed too many people.

At this time, the pressure in Benjamin's heart was also unprecedented, not only from the pressure of his own superiors, but also from the pressure of being responsible for his comrades.

No one knows better than him how terrible it is for special forces to be able to exert their combat effectiveness.

I am afraid that it will only take one day, and all the troops above the division level in the entire mountainous area will be severely damaged, and the war will already be defeated before it has even begun.

Defeating an adversary before the war has even begun, this is the terrible thing about special forces, and it is not an empty talk.

"General, what should we do now, the other party is not fooled at all." Arras asked Benjamin anxiously.

"We came to lure the snake out of the hole, and the other party also returned the same tactic, this is they to force us to show up, and we have no way not to show up, if we don't show up, there will be more regular troops, destroyed by the fighters they attracted."

Benjamin took a deep breath, the most critical time to make a decision was in front of him, and he had no second choice at all, although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only give an order: "Distribute all the squads, lead all the scouts, and search the entire mountainous area."
