Chapter 97 Fight for the initiative

"On the 7th of the 7th of the Shenzhen month, the thugs of time fell to the point of the 10th battle. The 10th battle was the single Fangtou troops. The border line with Iraq was along the border with Iraq about a year ago. The Turkish army headed south to the mountain road of the Workers' Kurdish Party guerrillas entrenched in the mountains of northern Iraq. It entered the Shernak Province and headed towards the town of Silopi, which was about a thousand meters away. It was also a military center of the Turkish army in the border area.

There is no difficulty in attacking the war cattle in Xilopi. "More than four Turkish troops surrendered without resisting.

The vanguard of the tenth combat unit did not stop moving forward and handed over the work of hosting prisoners of war to the support troops that followed. The vanguard arrived at the largest city in Schernak Province two hours after the attack began, and it was the only city in the southeastern border area of ​​Turkey with a population of more than 10, namely the outskirts of Gizre. What made the Turkish officers and soldiers guarding Gizre feel unbelievable was that the vanguard of the tenth combat unit did not launch an attack at all, but bypassed the city and marched towards Schernak in the northeast. Wait until the Turkish army reacted and prepared to intercept the

When the supply line of the vanguard of the 10th combat unit was cut off. To be precise, the main force of the 10th combat unit, the combat battalions of the two support brigades following the vanguard had arrived outside the suburbs of Gizray and had deployed defensive positions. Faced with the army of the Teeth Republic, the Turkish Army commander wisely chose to retreat, which made the long-ready long-range artillery lose the opportunity to show its power. If the Turkish Army wanted to take the opportunity to teach the support brigade's troops, the first thing they were greeted was not the self-defense weapons in the hands of the infantry, but the electromagnetic gun system deployed in northern Iraq.

Of course, the Turkish commander did not forget the most important thing, which was to use communication equipment provided by the US military to report the war situation to the coalition command.

It was not until this time that Duqiwei learned that the 10th combat unit had launched an attack.

The US military failed to discover the single tenth battle in advance, not because there were few reconnaissance methods, but because Duqiwei did not accurately determine the direction of the single tenth battle in attack.

In his opinion, Pei Chengyi would definitely not be fooled easily, nor would he respond too clearly to Blücher's breakthrough. In fact, when Blücher was ready for a breakthrough, Duqiwei knew that this small trick could not deceive Pei Chengyi. The problem was that Pei Chengyi could not do nothing. He had to consider the possibility of fake plays and had to make some adjustments in his actions. The most direct way was to let the tenth combat unit go directly north from Dehuke Province to Hakari Province, force Blücher back to the defensive position, and then assault westward at the fastest speed to block Blücher's breakthrough passage, thereby preventing Blücher from breaking through. Based on this judgment, in the middle of the night of July, Duqiwei asked the reconnaissance troops to focus on monitoring several major highways leading to Dehuke Province in the southern part of Hakari Province, and dispatched large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to hover over the southern part of Hakari Province.

Because Duchiway did not focus on the direction of Shernak Province, he failed to find the tenth battle single in time.

The problem is that after receiving the report from the Turkish army, Duqiwei did not immediately believe it. In the previous battle, in order to avoid taking responsibility, many grassroots officers of the Turkish army deliberately exaggerated the enemy's strength when reporting on the battle situation. In Duqiwei's view, it is very likely that the attack on Gizre was a small force. The single main force of the tenth battle was in the Dehuke Province, south of Hakari Province, and could go north at any time.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is what the single pioneer in the tenth battle thinks to bypass Gizray.

If it was just a feint attack, the tenth combat unit should show off its momentum instead of sneaking around. Although the Turkish army commander may lie about the situation of the war, so that people believe that the main force of the tenth combat unit is on their side, providing reasons for giving up Gizray, Duqiwei has reason to believe that the IQ of the grassroots officers of the Turkish army has not reached the level of fabricating such a perfect battle process.

In order to figure out the situation, Duqiwei asked the staff to adjust the flight route of the large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and asked the large strategic reconnaissance aircraft that had been hovering over the Black Sea to aim the synthetic aperture radar at the area between Gizray and Schernak, focusing on searching for highway routes.

Because the flight speed of the UAV is not fast, the strategic reconnaissance aircraft is the first to send a report.

Like the battle situation reported by the Turkish army, there was indeed a unit with various main combat equipment from Jintai that was attacking Schernak.

The problem is that the report of the strategic reconnaissance aircraft is not detailed.

Because the synthetic aperture radar can only distinguish the metal shell of the vehicle and cannot determine the true identity of the vehicle, it is impossible to determine whether it is an armored force running towards Sernak or a feint attack force modified with an ordinary vehicle. If you want to figure out the identity of this force, you have to wait for the photos taken by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

At this time, Duchiwei felt threatened.

If it was a feint attack force, it would be no big deal. The problem is that if it was a main attack force, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sernak is a small town with less than a population. Among the military forces stationed there, there is a thug. Apart from the Turkish infantry battalion with less than a young army, there is only one police force with force of about one. Obviously, such a small force cannot be an opponent of an armored force with various combat chariots and above the military force. Not to mention defense, it is great to be able to make effective resistance before surrendering or being eliminated.

Losing Sernak will make the battlefield situation

Blüchel, stationed in Hakkari, can only lick the direction of breaking through. One step towards Guerpenar to the north, that is, the town located west of Bashkalai, breaking through, and the other step towards Schernak, breaking through. Because Bashkalai has fallen, the first combat unit is advancing west. After full preparation, the armored troops of the Iranian Army began to advance towards Kran between Hakkari and Bashkalai, so even if they can avoid the sharpness of the Iranian armored troops, they are likely to hit the iron wall of the first combat unit. If Duchwi really wants Blüchel to break through, he has to break west and reach Schernak as soon as possible.

From Du Qiwei's standpoint, he could only believe that Pei Chengyi not only saw through his tricks, but also easily dismantled his attempts.

If the vanguard of the 10th combat unit could quickly capture Shernak, Pei Chengyi would not have to worry about the cooked duck flying away. At that time, unless Blüchel ordered all heavy equipment to be discarded and more than 10,000 American soldiers entered the mountains and spread out, they would not be able to fly even if they had wings.

The question is not whether Blücher can break through.

Fundamentally, Duchwie hasn't really considered letting Blücher break through.

The key is that when Buchanchel is impossible to break through, Pei Chengyi has no reason to waste too much troops in the southeast direction. At most, let the tenth combat unit defend Schernak with the support brigade's forces like the first combat unit. The main force continues to assault westward. Because Schernak is likely to be the logistics and material transfer center for the tenth combat unit, leaving thousands of officers and soldiers here will not have any impact on their combat operations. In this case, not only does Blüchel stay in Hakari become meaningless, but the US reinforcements will not arrive at Silt before the tenth combat unit and control this crucial city.

Losing Silter not only means losing Blücher, but also losing the Northern Line War.

At this point, Duchewei had no choice.

It was about 3 o'clock in Ankara time, which was about minutes after receiving the information from the strategic reconnaissance plane, and the large drone sent the reconnaissance photos back.

Duchiwei's concerns were confirmed, and that was indeed the tenth battle single armored force.

The appearance of an armored combat vehicle can be faked, but just like the wake of a ship, the dust raised by an armored combat vehicle when driving at high speed on the road cannot be faked. Or it can be faked. It is just very easy to identify.

By this time, Blücher's armored troops could not control Schernak before the tenth battle single.

In fact, even if Blüchel leads his army to break through when he receives the Turkish army report, the US armored forces will not be able to reach Schernak before the single vanguard of the tenth battle.

The cruel reality before Duchwie is that he must make a real act and let Blücher break through.

At this point, Duqiwei can only choose the least.

If Blüchel did not break through, he could only restrain a few Iranian divisions at most, and Pei Chengyi would not waste one soldier. If Blüchel broke through, it would be very likely that Pei Chengyi would put some of the individual troops of the tenth battle in Schernak, and let the first battle move the front line south when attacking, thus having a negative impact on the offensive actions of the Republic's army. Of course, to achieve this goal, a prerequisite must be met, that is, the US armored troops in Blüchel must leave Hakkari before the Iranian army completes the encirclement, and launch in the eastern part of Schernak Province, and advance towards Schernak at the fastest speed. In other words, do not be entangled with the Iranian army, otherwise they can only fight for consumption with the Iranian army. For the next battle, no matter how many Iranian troops are fought, it has no actual value.

Of course, this is the first thing that must be done.

After giving Blüchel a breakout order, Duchway asked officials sent by the State Council to contact Mrs. Lobring.

"Ms. Secretary of State, you are too optimistic about this war. We must admit that the one who fought with us was Duchwit, the most talented military strategist on the planet, corrected his attitude and said. "Just received the news that the fourth combat unit of the Chinese Army had arrived at the battlefield and attacked Turkey. What's worse, in order to prevent tens of thousands of American soldiers from becoming prisoners of war, I had to let General Blüchel break out west from Hakkari Province

Mrs. Lobring's face immediately became gloomy, but there was no sign of shock.

"No matter what, until now, we have not taken the initiative.

Under the restraint of our opponents, we can only fight in a very passive way, so as to lose the war step by step.”

"General, you mean, we must take the initiative back

Duqiwei nodded, indicating that this is what he meant.

"So, how should we regain the initiative?" Mrs. Lobring was a very pragmatic politician and did not get into the details of Duchwie.

Before this, I had always hoped to seize the initiative through my efforts on the battlefield of the Northern Line. I turned around the situation that was very unfavorable to us and forced our opponents to start a war on the Southern Line, thus gaining more international support for us." Duqiwei paused for a moment. He said, "It seems that after a very unfortunate thing, my efforts have not been effective until now, and it is very likely that I will never be able to achieve results. Fortunately, this result has long been guessing "The top-up of the Shenzhen stock market? Otherwise, there would be no need to give Israel a few vaccinations in advance to prepare for war."

"You mean, let Israel attack?"

“It’s not just the sacred army to launch an attack, we have to join the combat forces.

Mrs. Lobring frowned slightly, as if she had not figured out what Duchwit meant.

Thugs Although the Palestinian-Israeli issue is more important than the Kurdish issue, the Israeli authorities have never admitted it. This is a war against them. That is to say, the Israeli authorities will not fight for Turkey, or at least they will not join the war for Turkey unilaterally." Duqiwei smiled bitterly and said, "This is very clear in the secret agreement we reached with Israel. Only when we send troops will Israel send troops to assist us in combat operations in the direction of Syria. In other words, we must take action first and ask Israel to follow up.

So, how many troops do we have to mobilize?”

The thug: The Marine Division has arrived in Israel and is ready for war. The 2nd Marine Division will arrive in Israel within three days and be ready for battle.

"Can you gain the initiative with two land combat divisions?

Thug "Whether we can or not, we must be proactive. Although China has sent two single combat troops to Syria. One of them is deployed between Damascus and the Golan Heights, we have reason to believe. With the cooperation of the Israeli army, the two Marine Divisions can force the opponent to send more ground troops in that direction. As long as our offense is timely, it will make the opponent unable to send more ground troops to the front line in time. It will allow the opponent to draw combat troops from the northern line, so that we can gain the initiative on the battlefield of the northern line and completely turn the situation around.

"The problem is. This will put us in a passive diplomatically and offend all Arab countries.

Thug "Ms. Secretary of State, if you have something to gain, you have something to give up. We cannot take advantage of all aspects, we can only choose the biggest advantage. If we lose the war in Turkey, leading to the fall of the Turkish regime or being dismembered by China, the consequences are unimaginable for us. At that time, even if we do not offend the Arab countries, our influence in the Middle East will fall below China, thus gradually losing the dominance of the region."

Duchway spoke very concisely, and it was impossible for Mrs. Lobring not to understand what he meant.

After pondering for a while, Mrs. Lobring said, "You are right. We cannot let Turkey be done. At least we cannot let the Turkish regime be done. The key question is, if we lose the battle in the north, will the Turkish regime be done because of this."

"With our support, the Turkish regime will not collapse easily. After all, Turkey is a relatively single nation. With a major ethnic group, the Turks account for about 80% of the total population. But we must consider a possibility, that is, the Chinese authorities take this opportunity to attack Ankara. As long as Ankara can be captured, the Chinese authorities can handle it as usual and establish a pro-China regime in Turkey. Even if the senior officials of the Turkish regime escape from Ankara and its legitimacy is recognized by the international community, Turkey is likely to have a civil war. Mu Yong doubts that such a result is almost no different from losing a war. In any case, the Turkish market is not very attractive to the interest groups of the Republic.

"You mean, the other party is preparing to attack Ankara?"

"There are signs like this. There is not enough evidence yet. But if I were in command, I would definitely regard the attack on Ankara as the main means of victory."

Mrs. Lobring took a long breath and said, "According to this point, we have no other choice."

Duchway nodded. He did not waste his saliva on this topic of nutrition.

Mrs. Lobring pondered for a while and asked, "General. When do you need a definite answer?"

The faster the better, the better now

The thug "It is obviously impossible, no matter what, it must be approved by the president."

When Duchewei heard Mrs. Lobring's words, he immediately frowned. Obviously, on the issue of war, Landers did not hand over all power to Mrs. Lobring, but intended to play a role. This is also easy to understand. If Landers thinks that this is a war that the United States will inevitably win, he will use it to gain political capital.

"I will give you a reply as soon as possible, no more than twenty-four at the latest. You can prepare as you imagined, but do not take any action before getting my answer. Anyway, this is not something that can be decided by us alone.

"I will wait for your call Duchwie has been the Secretary of Defense and served as the President's National Security Advisor. He is very clear about the meaning of Mrs. Lobring's words, so he is not too long-winded.

Mrs. Lobring nodded and her image disappeared.

Du Qiwei breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the battlefield.

At this moment, the combat staff hurriedly walked in and muttered a few words in his ear.

Before the staff officer could finish their words, Du Qiwei stood up suddenly and cast an unbelievable look at the staff officer.
