In the early morning of the morning, the eighth battle of the Republic Army was a single crossing the border from Alci, Syria and entering the province of Kilis, Turkey. After a brief battle, it occupied Kilis, the important town on the border between Turkey and Syria, and sounded the clarion call for advancing towards Iskendron.

Because the offensive operation started after dawn, not long after, the major news media around the world turned to this originally unknown mountainous area and the border city with a population of about 10,000. Because this is the first time that the Republican army set out from Syria to attack Turkey, the first thing the Western news media considers is the "legality of war". Unfortunately, Aleppo Province is a Kurdish settlement area in Syria, in the northern part of the province, that is, the border between Syria and Turkey.

The area is about the Tianwan Kurds living in the area, and north of the border, that is, the province of Kilis, the province of Gaziantep and Chanel Urfa, there are about the thugs living in the Tianwan Kurds. In addition, the US-Turkish coalition forces have heavy troops in the Hatai Province west, so the Republic's army attacked Turkey from Syria, which can also be regarded as part of the action to liberate the Kurds and punish Turkey's war crimes.

Unlike what Western news media see, the Arab news media led by Al Jazeera is the first thing that focuses on the impact of this offensive on the entire battle situation.

Although in the report, Al Jazeera first affirmed the important strategic value of the "left-way encirclement" and believed that this was a key step to liberate the Kurds, the military critic hired by Al Jazeera, the retired Pakistani general, expressed high concerns about the actions of the Republic's Army when commenting on the war, and what worried him the most was the long front and the excessively heavy logistics burden. In short, Al Jazeera was abnormal and very cautious when commenting on this offensive operation.

Obviously, Al Jazeera expressed its value stance in a very implicit way.

Compared with Al Jazeera, other news media are much more refreshing.

.

Before Al Jazeera commented, Egypt's Middle East Communications Agency published a compelling editorial through its Arab United TV station, that is, the Republic, which has always claimed to effectively protect the interests of Arab countries and maintain friendly relations with Syria, still regards resolving the Kurdish issue as its top priority in the case of a military invasion in Syria. Of course, this news media, which had only escaped official control a few years ago, did not forget to be in the community.

On the Chinese harsh criticism of the behavior of Arab countries such as Egypt and others for "not saving" and believes that at this time, the US-Israeli coalition forces attacked Syria is equivalent to acknowledging the division of the Arab world. Any failures suffered by Syria are a shame to all Arabs. Although the Middle East Communications Agency has not had more radical words and deeds, such as calling on the Arabs to fight a jihad, etc., it can be seen that Arab countries no longer regard this war called to resolve the Kurdish issue as a foreign matter.

What attracted more attention at that time was the battle in the direction of the Golan Heights.

Although the US-Israeli coalition network has just launched an attack. In the absence of suddenness, not to mention defeating the Ninth Fighting Unit, which had been on high alert, and even failing to successfully break through the defense line of the Syrian army, the US authorities' offensive action to break the deadlock still aroused dissatisfaction and attention from many Arab countries. Even Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and many other Gulf countries, which have always been pro-US, believe that the United States has no reason to invade Syria. This dissatisfaction is stronger in Arab society and is easier to form enough to make the United States

During the day of July, Hong, the country feared Hong, there were many demonstrations in Egypt against the US invasion of Syria, and the demonstrators and police who maintained order also clashed. Regardless of whether the Egyptian authorities would change their basic policies due to the invasion of the United States, they must attach great importance to nationalist sentiment at home. Even from the standpoint of the US authorities, they must pay attention to the rising anti-American sentiment within Arab countries such as Egypt. If the US authorities insist on their own, it is very likely that the war will be out of control.

That's why the eighth combat unit entered Turkey, the US authorities were discussing countermeasures overnight.

In any case, not all senior officials believed that the Syrian-Israel war should be provoked. Because when Landers approved the dispatch of troops to Syria, he did not inform all the federal government officials, only Mrs. Lobring and other few people knew about it. So when discussing this issue, almost all the uninformed officials believed that the president had done too much. In their opinion, even if there is a Congressional war authorization, even if there are ten thousand reasons not to abandon Israel, the president should tell the cabinet members before making such a major decision, rather than wrapping the United States in a war against the Arab world closed, putting the United States at the threat of a full recession again.

As the front-line commander-in-chief, Du Qiwei attended the meeting via video call.

Although common sense tells Ducheway that those angry ministers said nothing wrong, Landers should not keep his cabinet members out of the door and make "closed-door decisions", what impressed Ducheway the most was that there were too many interest factions in the Republican government and could not unify their opinions at all. This is not to say that the interest groups supporting the Republican Party are peaceful. Everyone knows that many interest groups that have influenced the Republican industry, such as the arms groups, energy groups, trade groups, mineral groups, financial groups, etc., which have influenced various industries in the United States, are the real driving forces of war and the real beneficiary of war, but in the ways and ways to realize interests through war,

Each interest group has different "three" and "three". For example, on the current issue, whether to thugs should be launched, the arms group must support the expansion of the scale of the war, while the financial group that is closely related to the Jews is very cautious, and the mineral group and the trade group oppose sending troops to a pure Arab country. Because these interest groups have spokespersons, such as the Minister of Defense is the spokesperson of the arms group, the Minister of Finance is the spokesperson of the financial group, the Minister of Energy is the spokesperson of the energy group, the Minister of Resources is the spokesperson of the mineral group, and so on, it is difficult for these people to unify their opinions in such a major decision.

Let’s look at it in another way. It’s not unreasonable that Landers puts the length of the money aside when making decisions.

Perhaps the biggest impact of this meeting was that Ducheway no longer had any illusions about the outcome of this war.

If there is no unity of internal opinions, is it possible for the United States to win the final victory?

The meeting lasted about 4 hours, and at the end, only one conclusion was drawn that the president should tell the cabinet members in advance when making decisions that would have a significant impact on the national interests of the United States.

Obviously, this is a meaningless resolution.

It took 4 precious hours but no gains made Du Qiwei sigh.

By the end of the meeting, the situation on the battlefield had changed.

When the eighth combat unit entered Turkey and captured Kilis, the Syrian Defense Forces stationed in Aleppo Province, Idlib Province and Latakia Province all entered the defensive positions and were ready to resist the invasion. More importantly, the Syrian troops deployed in the border area began to lay mines on the border Syria side, and used a large number of advanced mine laying equipment. According to the intelligence sent back by large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, on the border line less than a thousand meters north of Latakia Province, the Syrian army laid 10,000 near-blade mines within a depth of about kilometers, and the mine laying density reached four per square kilometer. Because the Syrian army used a large number of plastic mines without metal parts, and many mines had the ability to resist explosion and sweep, the US military could not easily cross this mine defense line.

Before Duqiwei could react, the intelligence agency sent new news.

The first combat unit and the tenth combat unit that besieged Silt have left their base and are expected to launch an attack before noon on the 6th. At the same time, three Iraqi army brigades stationed in Dehuk Province were also launched. According to the deployment of the Iraqi army, the fibre brigade is likely to go to Batman and replace the tenth combat unit to defend the westward defense line so that the tenth combat unit can concentrate its efforts to attack Silt.

Anyway, this is definitely not good news.

The Republic's army ignored the battle in the south at all and focused on the battlefield in the north, making it clear that it would fight to Ankara before the US military reached Damascus.

The problem is that the single offensive route of Muhara battle is very problematic.

The Syrian army deployed mine arrays on the border line, which can be explained by preventing the sudden invasion of the United States. The question is why the Eighth Combat Unit should go north steadily, rather than letting the vanguard troops bypass Kilis as did before the Tenth Combat Unit, and the main force would clean up the Turkish Army there. Although the Eighth Combat Unit is not the Tenth Combat Unit and its assault ability is definitely not as good as the Tenth Combat Unit, as an elite unit of the Republic Army, the Eighth Combat Unit has no reason to worry too much about the influence of the Turkish Army.

To put it bluntly. If the eighth combat unit had a large-scale attack from the beginning, it would definitely advance dozens of kilometers before the US-Turkish coalition responded, and could even push the front line into the Jayhan River Basin north of Gaziantep in one breath, piercing the defense line of the US-Turkish coalition and quickly marched towards Ankara. If this is the case, Duqiwei would have no choice but to let the upcoming 2nd Armored Division head north with the 4th Infantry Division to intercept the eighth combat unit at full speed assault. Because the fifth combat unit was about to arrive at the front line, Pei Chengyi had every reason to attack Ankara with a combat unit.

When considering this issue, Du Qiwei also "puts himself in his shoes" to consider Pei Chengyi.

In his opinion, there are two main reasons why Pei Chengyi did not allow the eighth combat unit to head north at full speed. First, logistics support cannot keep up with the combat needs. If the eighth combat unit is trapped behind enemy lines, it is very likely that it will not be able to break out of the US encirclement and become a victim of attacking Ankara. There is no doubt that an excellent commander will definitely not sacrifice his thug easily. No matter how strong the fifth combat unit is, even if he arrives at Ankara, he will be exhausted and unable to defeat Ankara.

Obviously, Duchway has considered it more comprehensively.

Thinking about this problem does not mean solving the current threat.

With Du Qiwei's talent, he could not have known that if Pei Chengyi did not march towards Ankara, he would have to recover his losses in other directions.

There is no doubt that Iskendron is a good choice.

The eighth battle alone from Killis to Turkey is definitely related to the attack on Iskendron.

At this moment, Du Qiwei thought of a situation, that is, Pei Chengyi had never thought about attacking Ankara, but had been fighting Iskendron. The address of this site has been changed to: Aigu, Zhou Jing, please log in to read!

If that's the case, Duchewei has to consider it

Because information related to the frontline battle is still being sent here, Duqiwei did not adjust the deployment, but calmed himself down and reconsidered the battle situation.

When he opened the paper Türkiye region, he immediately discovered the issue that he had considered it but did not pay attention to it. The new address of this site has been changed to: Please log in to read it!

Even if you go north from Kilis, the Republic's army had to attack thousands of kilometers before reaching Ankara. Because the northern part of Syria is within the range of electromagnetic cannons on large warships of the US Navy, the Republic's army's material hoarding center has always been located in Iraq and is not placed in Syria. In other words, the logistics support line from Iraq to Ankara exceeds the Thug Quqian.

This is undoubtedly a very fatal problem.

With the investment of the Republic Army, it is impossible to establish a ground support channel. Even if Syria, Iraq and Iranian troops are included, they cannot establish a transportation line from Mosul to Ankara, and it is even more impossible to ensure the safety of this life support line. In other words, the Republic troops marching towards Ankara can only place their hopes of logistics support on those vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft. The only thing that can fly back and forth between Mosul and Ankara without replenishing electricity is that, according to the information provided by the Fourth Army, the Republic Army can only support at most! A combat unit can fight in areas beyond the thugs and Qu Qu. In any case, Pei Chengyi cannot stop a combat unit from being sent to Ankara.

Of course, other methods can be solved, such as capturing an air force base or large civil airport along the way, using strategic transport aircraft to transport combat supplies for combat troops, or simply airdropping materials for combat troops. The problem is that the efficiency of airdrops is definitely not much higher, and certain materials cannot be airdropped. Capturing the airport is both time-consuming and wasteful. If you can only invest 2 combat units and avoid being surrounded by the US-Turkey coalition, there is no reason to capture an airport that cannot be defended in rapid assault operations. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to occupy a large airport only when the thug fails and needs to withdraw the combat troops.

Obviously, it is impossible for Pei Chengyi to be unclear about the seriousness of this problem.

In other words, from the beginning, he had no intention of attacking Ankara, but just took the initiative to attack Ankara, making the opponent think that he would attack Ankara.

If this is true, Pei Chengyi will have other plans.

Duchway gasped when his eyes fell on Iskendron.

Pei Chengyi's target is not Ankara, but Iskendron.

After occupying Killis, the Eighth Combat Unit did not rush forward, but just wanted to stabilize the front and gradually establish a defense line that was enough to prevent any unit from storing. You should know that the predecessor of the Eighth Combat Unit was the Flying Army, one of the three main heavy armored troops of the Republic Army, and was one of the most famous Jiangpai troops in the world. If this unit was allowed to attack Iskendron, the consequences would be unimaginable.

No, the eighth combat unit's mission is not to attack Iskendron, but to surround Iskendron.

If the eighth combat unit successfully surrounds Iskendron, that is, it captures Ottomaniye, located north of Iskendron Bay, and cuts off the external passage of Hatai Province, the US-Turkey coalition will lose all its initiative. At that time, even if two US military divisions arrive at Iskendron, Duchiwei will have only two choices. One is to let the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division attack the single defense line of the eighth battle, and the other is to let the two divisions move westward and get ashore from Melsin. Mu Yong doubts that neither of these two choices will be of any benefit. The former will expose the US military to the powerful artillery fire of the Republic Army. Even if they can break through the single defense line of the eighth battle, they will suffer extremely heavy losses and make the breakthrough operation meaningless. The latter will delay precious time, and even if they can devote themselves to the battle without any loss, they will not prevent the defeat of the US-Turkey coalition.

More importantly, this is just the beginning of a series of offensive actions.

When the eighth combat unit wiped out the fighting spirit of the US military, Pei Chengyi would use the fifth combat unit that had just arrived on the battlefield to attack Iskendron and control this extremely important port city. At the same time, the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit in the east would not only attack Silt, but also attack Diyabaker and advance westward. Finally, the entire Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey was divided. At this point, even if the Republican army did not capture Ankara, it would force the United States and Türkiye to admit defeat.

To understand this, Duqiwei didn't contact Dayan.

The 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division were to defend Iskendron. If you want to plug the loopholes in Jiyabakel, you can only place your hope on the only troops that can arrive in time, that is, the 7th Infantry Division that promised to be sent to Israel.

Fortunately, the battle in the south was quite smooth, and Dayan was also a general with a very broad view.
Chapter completed!
