Chapter 716 Stop reinforcements
A pilot of an A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft in Kuwait was flying carefully over Israel.
Since Kuwait only sent A-4 aircraft, they dispatched very few times in the early operations. Now, they finally have a new opportunity to use the Maverick missile to strike those highways.
Although this action was a bit disgraceful, they accepted it. It was simply an exercise to strike a road without any danger.
However, this is not simple either, because it is a night precise bombing. They need to use two calf missiles to completely paralyze the road. What they carry is an infrared imaging calf missile that can be used at night.
In the darkness, the pilot found the target they had determined in advance, then activated the seeker, locked the road below, and pressed the launch button.
The fire flashed, and under the wings, the missile flew out.
Complete the mission! The pilot shook his wings and began to return.
When the explosion sounded ahead, the convoy was expected to reach Caifat before dawn.
An explosion occurred ahead, which made the convoy a little anxious. They accelerated and moved forward.
Then, the driver of the second car found that the car in front was brakeing quickly.
At night, this kind of movement was very fatal. Fortunately, he saw the movement of the car in front of him clearly in the night vision instrument and then braked. The third car collided with him.
The driver got off the car in a furious manner and wanted to beat the guy in front, but when he got to the front, he was stunned.
There was a big pit on the ground there. The front wheels of the car in front were about to go down. If he hadn't braked the car just now, if it weren't for the heavy tank inside the trailer behind, it would be very likely. The car would have fallen.
The road is gone.
Damn Arabs!
All roads were bombed, and the Arab planes must have used precise guidance weapons! They were so accurate.
What to do now?
"How far is it from the Golan Heights now?" The convoy transported a tank battalion. The battalion commander got off a car behind and asked forward.
“There are more than one hundred and fifty kilometers left.”
It is more than 150 kilometers, and now it is more than three hours before dawn. Their convoy originally planned to arrive before dawn. But now, if you fill in the road and walk, you will definitely not be able to catch up. Moreover, I don’t know if there are any bomb craters in front of you.
"Let our tanks get out of the trailer immediately, and we will immediately move to the Golan Heights." said the battalion commander.
The most precious thing now is time. Before dawn, they rushed to the Golan Heights and participated in the battle there, which is their most important task at present.
The door of the container behind was opened, revealing steel objects, that was their weapons, the Mekava MK2 tank!
In the current Israeli army, there are mainly two main battle tanks, one is the "Magach" main battle tank. In fact, this is a series of m48 and m60 tanks exported to Israel from the United States, which were modified by Israel. They are mainly obtained by increasing protection capabilities.
Another type is the Mekawa main battle tank produced by Israel.
During Israel's years of war, the strategy of using mobility to avoid the opponent's strikes proved unrealistic. Therefore, regarding the three major performances of tanks, firepower, mobility and protection. Israel puts protection first, firepower second, and mobility third.
This leads to the difference between the Mekava tanks and the main battle tanks of countries around the world. In terms of appearance, the turret is the first feature. The Mekava tank's turret is as ugly as a pointed mouse, but this can have the smallest facing area and reduce the probability of being shot.
The next difference is that the engine compartment of the Mekawa tank is not in the rear, but on the right side of the front, similar to the self-propelled artillery. This is to prevent the engine from being hit on the front and protect the members behind it. However, this also causes the engine to be unable to install a high-power engine. In this 60-ton tank, it can only be equipped with a 900 horsepower engine, and the maximum road speed can not reach 50 kilometers per hour.
However, practice has proved that their tanks are successful, especially in protecting crew members. What Israel fears most is personnel.
The Mekava MK2 tank was equipped into their troops a year ago. Now, the officers and soldiers of the troops are able to operate this latest tank very skillfully.
Amid the rumbling sound, the driver slowly drove the tank off the trailer. This special container, after being transformed, can withstand the pressure of the tank itself when it goes up and down.
It was upside down at the beginning, so it was driven straight away. The gun barrel in front was first exposed, and the tracks on both sides slowly moved. When they drove off the trailer, the trailer shook violently.
They drove off the road, heading towards the dark night sky, towards their destination.
They were only concerned about reaching the battlefield as soon as possible, but they all forgot a very important aspect. Tanks could drive off the highway and the fuel supply vehicle that followed behind could not leave the highway. Their fuel tanks were only half a box and hundreds of liters of fuel before departure.
On other roads, the Israeli armored troops who were heading in batches chose armored vehicles to drive directly after they could not continue to use the trailer. Although they knew that the road was blown up and it was the opponent's black hand, the opponent did not directly attack their vehicles, which means that the opponent still maintained restraint and was unwilling to conflict with them directly. Moreover, they did not have time to think so much. They had to rush to the front line of the Golan Heights as soon as possible, where their compatriots were bleeding and could not resist the attack of the Syrian army.
"Latest news, the US government has agreed to unfreeze all our funds," said Prince Sultan.
At this time, the sky had just shined, and most of the personnel of the Joint Army Command were lying on the table to rest for a while. Although their army did not enter the war directly, these two days have been a big war, which is related to the future situation of both sides.
If Syria occupy the Golan Heights, then Israel will fall into a passive position.
Therefore, the United States put pressure on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, hoping that they can give up their confrontation with Israel. However, the pressure did not work and also played a counter-effect, forcing Arab countries to try to change the US dollar oil system. This is the basis of the current economy of the United States. If this system is changed, the US dollar will enter an unpredictable recession. After carefully weighing the gains and losses, the United States will freeze their assets to thaw, in order to appease Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, which are still pro-US, and always do it to achieve its goal. The two governments say that way, which is also giving the United States a step forward. Since this is the case, the United States must also show enough goodwill.
The US government is very quick to move, and it is quick to let go. The US government’s intention is that this time it is a misunderstanding. The US ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait also went to the king to explain, saying that this time it was because it was suspected that the funds had flowed to some hostile forces with the United States. After investigation by the US, the suspicion was ruled out.
When Kusai heard this, he knew that the United States was also afraid of really pushing Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to the opposite side. Even if it did not use rubles, even if it used francs, it would definitely not be tolerated by the United States.
Does this mean that Israel has agreed to those requests?
"McFarlane is here again," a person in charge reported.
Come? Kusai said: "Let him wait outside. We are resting. See him again at eight o'clock, no, nine o'clock."
McFarlane was really anxious. She came at around 6 o'clock in the morning, fearing that she would not be able to find someone again today. However, if he got up early, it did not mean that others would get up early. Let him wait a little longer!
"The news came from the Joint Arab Command that just last night, some suspicious convoys were heading north overnight. It is very likely that the Israeli armored division was transferred north. They are very likely to arrive in the Golan Heights this morning." A person reported: "The fighter jets of the Joint Arab Command have made way out of the airspace, and our air force can fly north of Haifa, Israel."
Israeli armored forces moved north overnight? Manav frowned. In this case, the troops that were still attacking now would face greater resistance and must stop Israeli armored forces!
Although Hafez didn't care about the support of the Arab joint army, he was not a blind and arrogant person. If Israeli armored troops came up, their task of attacking the Golan Heights would become even more difficult.
The Arab Joint Command’s meaning is very clear, that is, to release the airspace and let them kill Israel’s reinforcements?
Hafez was a little dissatisfied. The Arab brothers gathered in the south were waiting like this and did not join the battle. If they also joined, it might be a good opportunity to destroy Israel.
But now, Syria can complete the task without relying on them!
"Spread our armed helicopters to kill the Israeli reinforcements, and at the same time, mobilize an armored brigade behind us to enter the western part of the Golan Heights, ready to intercept the reinforcements at any time." Hafez said.
His command in this way has another purpose, and this armored brigade will become the vanguard of going south.
Now, in order to achieve the next combat goal requested by the president, several armored troops and infantry divisions have been mobilized and assembled in the rear of Syria, and are moving towards this battle. Syria has mobilized more than 70% of the national defense forces for this battle.
