Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 83 Unable to Expect

When the battle on Bu Jiao was in full swing, the battle on the battlefield was dawn and the thug began.

In the early morning of June Blade, the vanguard of the first combat unit arrived at Urumiye, the capital of Western Azerbaijan. After a short stop, Du Yunxiao bid farewell to the Iranian general who was responsible for the reception, led his troops to leave this beautiful lakeside city and headed to the offensive starting position close to the border.

On the way, Ling Yunxiao was worried.

After arriving at the offensive starting position, he first sent scouts to carry out infiltration reconnaissance missions, and then asked the engineering company to return to Urumie along the route, and determined that the roadbeds needed to be repaired along the way. When the officers and soldiers began to prepare for the main force, Ling Yunxiao contacted Yuan Chenhao and asked the support troops of the Land Airlines to be sent as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult for the first combat unit to launch an attack under extremely poor basic conditions.

As the most backward province in Iran, the infrastructure of West Azerbaijan Province can be completely shaped by "terrible"

The more than 40 kilometers of roads from Urumier to the attack starting position are all paved with gravel. There is no gravel on many sections of the road. After the foundation rammed with soil is exposed to wind and rain, it cannot bear heavy tanks at all. Although this kind of road has little impact on tracked vehicles, it is an absolute disaster for heavy trucks that transport materials. If the materials cannot be delivered, the first combat unit will not be able to perform well.

In the meantime, all the pressure fell on Yuan Chenhao.

Although when formulating a combat plan, Iran proposed that the incomplete infrastructure of West Azerbaijan Province would have a negative impact on combat operations, it was not considered that the land aviation could not be deployed in time, so neither Pei Chengyi nor Yuan Chenhao attached too much importance to this issue. In the view of the two, because Iran's West Azerbaijan Province is poor and backward and cannot provide sufficient support for the offensive forces, the Turkish army would definitely relax its fear and put its main force in the Hakkari Province facing Iraq, rather than the Van Province facing Iran, so that the first combat unit could get the opportunity to assault.

In fact, the two of them were right.

Before the war broke out, the main forces of the Turkish Army were deployed in Hakari Province and Schernak Province west of Hakari Province.

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Turkish Army has been carefully building the defense lines between Hakkari and Schernak Province for decades. In the direction of Van Province to the north of Hakkari Province, the Turkish Army uses rugged terrain and backward transportation basic conditions to create an isolation area with a width of 4,000 meters close to the thugs, so that any face force must consider the severe test of extreme conditions on logistics support before launching an attack.

In a sense, there is no major problem with the defense deployment of the Turkish Army.

All provinces and the bordering Iranian West Azerbaijan Province are located at the northern end of the Zagros Mountains, while the Zagros Mountains are generally high in the north and low in the south. Therefore, all provinces and West Azerbaijan Province are mountainous, with an average altitude of about the Bladem, which is a veritable roof of West Asia. Fighting under this terrain is a disaster for any ground troops. During the Iran War, the US military did not enter Iran from Turkey and took a shortcut to attack Tehran because the terrain here is too complex and the infrastructure is extremely backward, which is not conducive to large-scale corps operations. It can be seen that the infrastructure of West Azerbaijan Province is backward. Most of the Iranian authorities are intentionally doing it.

From a geographical perspective, the average altitude of the Van province of Turkey and the West Azerbaijan province of Iran, while the altitude of the Hakkari province and the Schernak province of Turkey is much higher than that of the Dehook province of Iraq. In other words, it is much easier for the Turkish army to attack from the Hakkari province to the Dehook province. Because after the Gulf War in the early 1900s, Iraq was poor and weak, and was no match for Turkey at all. Turkey also sent troops into Iraq many times to attack the guerrillas of the Workers' Party of Kurdish Party, thus attaching great importance to the military infrastructure of the Hakkari province and Schernak province.

In response to these situations, Pei Chengyi sent his first combat unit, which was good at mountain combat, to Iran.

By the same token, Pei Chengyi sent the tenth combat unit, who was also good at fighting independently in complex environments, to northern Iraq, to ​​prepare to support the first combat unit.

As the front-line commander, Yuan Chenhao was very clear about Pei Chengyi’s strategic intentions.

Although Pei Chengyi clarified the key point from the beginning, the main battlefield of the Middle East War was not in the Zagros Mountains, especially in the early stages of the war, there was no reason to invest too much force in the north. The battle in the direction of the Golan Heights was determined. Only when the battle in the south was defeated, would he make a big fuss on the northern line. However, Yuan Chenhao was definitely not a simple soldier. In a sense, he was very similar to Pei Chengyi, especially after serving as the commander of the South Asian War Zone, many of Yuan Chenhao's performances reminded people of Pei Chengyi back then. Among Yuan Chenhao's many eye-catching talents, his political mind beyond the ordinary soldiers should have the most important.

In fact, Pei Chengyi was also very clear about this and knew that Yuan Chenhao was a cunning general.

In other words, Yuan Chenhao could see clearly the problems that Pei Chengyi saw.

No matter how proactive the Republic's authorities are on the issue of Kurds, those with some clever minds know that the Republic and the United States are fighting in the Middle East, and the focus is not on safeguarding the human rights of 40,000 Kurds, but on how to resolve the contradiction between millions of Jews and tens of millions of Arabs. The Middle East issue will sooner or later break out in the form of the Palestinian-Israeli war. If the Republic wants to win the Middle East war, it must completely defeat Israel. Mu Yong doubts that this is a goal that cannot be achieved for the time being and is also an unrealized one.

As long as Yuan Chenhao realizes this, he will not have too much hope for this war. The new address of this website has been changed to: Exorcist, please log in to read if you delete it!

Or, he had his own opinion.

Looking back, when Pei Chengyi arranged for him to serve as the commander of the front line in Iran, Yuan Chenhao considered these issues and knew that Pei Chengyi was thinking about him and happily accepted the arrangement. From this, it can be seen that Yuan Chenhao had known for a long time that the battle on the southern front would not achieve substantial victory. Because the Republican authorities would not accept a war that did not win, and the government's election will be held next year. Regardless of whether Gu Weimin is confident enough to get the support of most representatives, he must also hand over a qualified answer for the first term. Therefore, when the southern front cannot win, he can only make a fuss on the northern front and find ways to win in a sense.

The Republic did not attack Napa's problem, but instead challenged the United States with the Kurdish problem. This is the original

From Yuan Chenhao's standpoint, how to effectively solve the Kurdish issue is not only related to the political direction of the Republic in the new election in Yenian, but also to his personal future. In any case, Yuan Chenhao will not miss this precious opportunity, and will not slackew any slack off.

After receiving a call from Ling Yunxiao, Yuan Chenhao found the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Defense Forces.

According to the secret agreement signed by both sides, when the Republic's army attacked Turkey, Iran not only had to send ground troops to cooperate in combat, but also had to undertake logistics support tasks. Although Yuan Chenhao would not have any hope for the performance of the Iranian army on the front line battlefield, before the land aviation support force arrived, he must put the important task of logistics support on Iran and try every means to provide the most support for Ling Yunxiao.

The video talks with the Iranian Defense Forces Chief of Staff lasted only half an hour, and Yuan Chenhao did not get a satisfactory answer.

It’s not that the Iranian authorities refuse to cooperate, but that the Iranian army does not have this ability.

Fortunately, Yuan Chenhao had already made preparations, and it was not just mental preparations.

In a sense, from the very beginning, Yuan Chenhao's biggest requirement for the Iranian army was not to drag the Republic's army back and not to cause unnecessary trouble in battle.

As the commander of the South Asian theater, Yuan Chenhao could not be unclear about the situation of the Iranian army.

Although after the Islamic Revolution, the new Iranian regime inherited the legacy of the Pahlavi dynasty. Iran, which had the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world at that time, was the most important ally of the United States. Its territory in the American alliance system was even above Israel. Not to mention, the United States sold the old fighter jets that had just been successfully developed and had not had time to fully equip the US Navy to Iran in the century-old era. It claimed to be the number one military power in the Gulf region and was established in the first place.

In two years, it fought with neighboring countries and launched the Iran-Iraq War that lasted for eight years. During the Iran War, it successfully defeated the US invasion, and the Iranian authorities were even more contented. They even claimed to drive the US troops out of the Gulf with practical actions, causing several Arab countries to restless day and night. In fact, even during the Pahlavi dynasty, due to long-term domestic unrest, the struggle between the king and the prime minister never stopped, so Iran, which has received full support from the United States, was not considered a truly military power.

After the Islamic Revolution, Iran's military strength has not been substantially improved.

What best reflects Iran's military strength is not the Iran War that led to the century, but the Iran War that led to the Iran War in the early 1990s.

In the words of Western military strategists, the Iran-Iraq War was a primitive war fought with high-tech equipment.

Although this evaluation is a bit extreme, it reflects the problem. Because the Iran-Iran War was in the most intense period of the US-Soviet Cold War. The US military had just left the dense forest of Vietnam and the Soviet Union entered the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, the two superpowers wanted to use this to restrain their opponents and try every means to assist the warring parties. Not to mention anything else, the "Iran Gate" incident that shocked the world broke out at this time, that is, in order to rescue the hostages seized by Iran, the US authorities authorized four to sell old fighter jets to Iran.

The US authorities did not want Iran to defeat Iran quickly, so that Iraq under Saddam's control over Iraq dominates the Gulf. Of course, other countries outside the United States and the protracted war were also related to this protracted war. For example, France sold the most advanced "Phantom" fighter jets to Iraq at that time, and the Republic provided the Stone and 7 fighter jets to both sides.

It can be said that during the Iran-Iraq War, the weapons and equipment of Iran and Iraq were not bad.

Judging from the level of the 1990s and 1990s, among the main combat weapons and equipment of both sides at that time, the Yin-Cat Cats, 4 "Ghosts" fighters, "Phantoms. Thugs. Fighters, Hong Gong "Fighters. Fighters, Pinwan "Frog Foots. Attack aircraft, Sun Hu "Eyeblocks" bombers, from the "Cobra" armed helicopter "Feedle" armed helicopter, "Scud, Ballistic missile, Slash, Ballistic missile, Main Battle Tank, Yi 7 Infantry Combat Vehicle and other main combat equipment were considered advanced weapons at that time, not much worse than the main combat equipment of the United States and the Soviet Union.

It was in this case that the two countries spent 8 years fighting a war without victory. Look at it, in addition to causing serious damage and losses, the two sides of the Chinese war brought any benefits. It can even be said that it was this war that put the Saddam regime on the end of the army's military. Similarly, it was the poor performance of the Iraqi army during the Iraqi War that made Bush decide to send troops to the Gulf and use hundreds of thousands of American soldiers to help Kuwait restore its establishment and freedom. You should know that before Bush decided to launch the Gulf War in the name of multinational troops, almost all Americans thought of the war that caused the death of more than 10,000 American soldiers and the disability of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers. Saddam also announced with a high profile that Iraq would become the second Vietnam. Facts proved that Iraq under Saddam did not become Vietnam, and Iraq after Chesaddam did not become Vietnam.

If Iran has not taken the path to Iraq, it does not mean that Iran will have no problem.

In a sense, Frederick dared to send troops to Iran without his butt cleaning, because he believed that the Iranian army would be vulnerable. The US army would march straight into the line like attacking Iraq many years ago, overthrow the Iranian regime in one fell swoop, and quickly ended the large-scale battle. Although there were not many Americans supporting this view, Imin was not Iraq after all. It is unlikely that he would conquer a country with a population of 640,000 like conquering a country with a population of 640,000 like conquering a country with a population of only 10,000, and the US army would not be able to fight in the mountains like fighting in the desert. However, the problems in Iran's national defense power are definitely one of the main reasons why the US authorities decided to launch a war.

Strictly speaking, Iran can withstand the US offensive, not because the Iranian army can fight, but because Iran is not Iraq.

In any case, the Gulf War during the Bush-Jr. and the Iraq War during the Bush-Jr. The United States has reasons to send troops. The international community condemns the United States at most, and will not blatantly support Iraq. When Frederick launched the Iran War, he not only did not have the reason to be on the rise, but was also opposed by several major powers. The Republic and Russia spared no effort to support Iran. In other words, if the Republic and Russia also supported Iraq at the beginning, the US military would not have easily overthrew the Saddam regime.

Because Iran's population and land area are three times that of Iraq and its resources are much richer than Iraq, Iran at the same time was not as good as Iraq. Not to mention anything else, with the active support of the two major powers, Iran spent nearly the past year to completely defeat the invading US troops. Iraq's guerrillas had exhausted the US troops in the past year without any external support.

The reason why Iran's military strength is backward is only one pound," that is, its concepts are seriously backward.

In military construction, concept is the soul of the army, and equipment is only the body of the army. Without a strong soul, even if you have a strong body, you are not a real strong person.

In fact, the problem of concept is the most difficult to solve.

From World War II to the old year, the United States' military strength was able to lead the world because the United States had advanced military ideas. The Republic was able to challenge the United States after the old year, which was to abandon the old and backward military concepts and make a big fuss in military ideas.

If it takes several years to arm an army, then it takes several years to arm an army's mind. Strictly speaking, from the Fourth India-Pakistan War in the Old Year to the Indian War in the Daoshi Year, the Republic took ten years to establish modern military concepts and cultivated a large number of outstanding soldiers with independent military ideas, such as Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao. Mu Yong doubted that this was already a shocking speed. It took the United States nearly half a century to establish modern military ideas from the Spanish-American War at the end of the Duji to the Second World War in the middle of the Li century, and it took Tsarist Russia hundreds of years to complete this transformation.

There is no doubt that Yuan Chenhao cannot change Iran and cannot count on Iran.

Although logistics support seems to be a small matter, it is a big matter to do it. According to the capabilities of the Iranian army, providing sufficient logistics support for the first combat unit requires at least tens of thousands of troops, and investing a large number of engineering equipment and engineering materials in West Azerbaijan Province. Obviously, neither manpower nor material resources, the Iranian authorities cannot meet the requirements put forward by Yuan Chenhao, and cannot provide sufficient support.

Unable to count on Iran, Yuan Chenhao had to turn his attention to Luhang.

After finding the staff responsible for the operation of the China Airlines, Yuan Chenhao only mentioned one thing, that is, according to the backup plan, complete the work of the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft group first, put the deployment of the low-altitude attack aircraft group behind, and give priority to ensuring that sufficient combat supplies are provided to the first combat unit.

Afterwards, Yuan Chenhao called Iranian President Ahmadinejad. The address of this site has been changed to: I feel relieved, please log in to read it if you delete it!

This time, he did not make excessive demands. He just hoped that the Iranian authorities could ensure that from Port Abbas to Selmas was located in the northern part of West Azerbaijan Province, about a thousand meters away from the provincial capital Urumiye and about a thousand kilometers away from the Iran-Turkish border. It is an important transit station for the railway line to the Turkish Van Province, and it is also the first combat unit's important material assembly subway line to unobstructed and the material transportation work will not be affected in any way.

Ahmadinejad agreed immediately, unlike the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Defense Forces.

In any case, this railway line is related to the final result of the offensive operations on the Northern Line, and the Iranian authorities will not joke about such an important thing.
