On July 7, the Republic Army took the lead in launching an attack on the northern front battlefield.

According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, the first combat unit was the first to attack Silt with the support and cooperation of the tenth combat unit, and looked like he would never give up until he killed two US military divisions. By dawn, the two artillery brigades of the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit poured about 80,000 tons of shells on Silt, and used bullet rain to plow the US positions back and forth several times. During the artillery attack, the light multi-purpose fighter jets of the Air Force Tactical Aviation and Naval Aviation also bombed Silt. Because the battle for air supremacy is still in progress, all fighters were bombed with ammunition outside the defense zone with a range of more than 1,000 meters under the protection of long-range air defense systems in Iran or Iraq. Unfortunately, because the tactical transport aircraft group needs to be deployed first, the low-altitude attack aircraft of the China Airlines failed to participate in the battle to attack Silt.

Anyway, this round of firepower strike has achieved very good results.

According to relevant information released by the Pentagon after the war, after the shelling began, Silter's US commander issued a request for help before dawn, and it was also the most urgent request for help.

.

The problem was placed in front of Duchwi.

In order to save Silter's thug, the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division, in addition to using long-range artillery fire to strike the first combat unit and the 10th combat unit, the only way is to let the 7th Infantry Division reach Diyabakir attack Batmann, forcing the 10th combat unit to shrink its defense line so that the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division can break out west.

In fact, Duchiway could not even provide long-range artillery support to frontline troops.

The artillery of the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division were all left at the provincial capital of Malatia Malatia Province south of the Bankai Reservoir. It is also the intersection of the Tatwanichel Railway and Samsun Malatia Railway. It is one of the most important railway hub centers in central Turkey. It is only a thousand meters away from Diyabakir. It is less than a thousand meters away from Mosul, where the 10th combat unit Artillery Brigade is located. In other words, when the US artillery is bombarded by the opponent, it will definitely be fiercely counterattacked by the opponent.

Unfortunately, the US Army's electromagnetic guns are far inferior to the Republic Army's electromagnetic guns.

Because the United States has never attached much importance to artillery construction, even after the Peninsula War, it has invested heavily in the development of electromagnetic guns, but due to the influence of basic technology, it has not been able to catch up with the development level of the Republican artillery. Therefore, the performance of the US military's active electromagnetic gun is comparable to the first-generation electromagnetic guns of the Republic Army. The maximum range when using ordinary artillery shells is only one meter, and the range when using extended-range ammunition is less than 1,000 meters. The maximum range of the second-generation electromagnetic gun of the Republic Army has been increased to more than 1,000 meters. When using extended-range ammunition, it can even strike targets that are sank thousands of meters away.

Of course, the gap is not only reflected in range.

In a sense, the Republic Army invested huge amounts of money in the "radio power transmission system" to solve the power supply problem for artillery. If the electric wires are used to transmit electricity, the electric energy required by electromagnetic guns is particularly huge. When the system quality must be reduced as much as possible, the power transmission power can only be increased by increasing the current. Therefore, when ordinary wires are used, the transmission distance is greatly limited by Jing Liang, and all electric sulfonated guns in a system must be centrally deployed near the power supply system. If deployed in this way, the artillery will easily be suppressed by the opponent's artillery fire or air strike. More importantly, the power supply system is extremely fragile and easily destroyed. Only by solving the power transmission problem can the practical value of the electric slug gun system be fully utilized.

Because the US Army lacks understanding of the importance of artillery, the United States' development in related fields is not as good as that of the Republic.

According to relevant data released by the Pentagon, when superconducting wires are used, the US military's electromagnetic gun system can be deployed scatteredly within the range of square radial codes, that is, each electromagnetic gun has a roughly strong code and gray-long wire. The problem is that in actual combat, it is impossible to lay wires in a straight line. More importantly, the entire deployment distance is still too narrow. As the core power supply equipment of the system, that is, the controllable fusion reactor and power generation system, it is easy to be hit, and the survival rate of bombing with opponents is definitely not much higher.

In fact, as early as the morning of the 6th, that is, after the first units of the 7th Infantry Division arrived in Diyabakir, Duchiwei ordered the two artillery brigades left in Malatia to quickly retreat to the provincial capital of Sivas Sivas Province further north. Although the distance between Sivas and Mosul was more than 6 kilometers, the distance from Sufian, where the first combat unit Artillery Brigade was located was even more than 1000 kilometers. Unless the price of the single use of the tenth battle was dozens of times that of ordinary artillery shells, and the strike efficiency was far less than that of the extended range shells of ordinary artillery shells, it would not threaten the US artillery at all. However, Sivas was about 100 kilometers away from Diyabakir and exceeded 100 kilometers from Sirt. From this, it can be concluded that Duchiwei had long been prepared to give up Sirt and let the thugs, the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division break out to the west.

Unfortunately, before the two artillery brigades had time to leave Malatia, the battle began to begin in the east.

Although Blüchel repeatedly requested artillery support to the frontline troops of the European Legion, Duchwie was unmoved and still ordered the artillery brigade to transfer to Sivas. In order to avoid Blüchel's over-government orders, Duchwie personally contacted the two brigade commanders, and clearly the people from the Tingzhou area went to Shixiu on the night of the 7th to talk about artillery formations and prepare for artillery battles.

It has to be said that Duqiwei showed the coldness he deserved.

It is more important to save two artillery brigades than to rescue the two divisions of the European Legion. Especially from the upcoming battle, if Duchewi uses two deterrent cards too early, it will not only make the defense extremely difficult, but also lose the opportunity to counterattack.

The problem is that Duqiwei cannot abandon the thug, the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division.

Before dawn, Duqiwei did not rush to issue a breakout order, but asked the thugs, the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division to repair the riddled defense line as much as possible, block the enemy's attacking pace, and try to delay the enemy's assault speed.

In a sense, Sweet. Duchewei didn't believe Pei Chengyi would fight in Silter.

No matter how mediocre the commander could see that as the US Army's 19th Army reached Diyabakir, the first thing the Republican Army had to do was not to defeat the two US military divisions, but to consolidate the defense line west of Batman, or use limited tactical attack to restrain the infantry division, and then attack Silt after defeating the US military's spirit. As long as there is no hope of reinforcement, the thug, the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division may even surrender voluntarily.

From Duchwie's perspective, one issue must be considered, that is, the purpose of attacking Silter was to force the 7th Infantry Division to rush for assistance.

This is definitely not impossible.

In fact, before that, Pei Chengyi's tactical deployment had forced Duqiwei to ask Blüchel to lead the vanguard of the European Legion to rescue Hakari, but the two strongest brigades were wiped out. Immediately afterwards, Pei Chengyi used the same method to force Duqiwei to let the main force of the European Legion to rescue, but fell into the encirclement and could not escape until now. If the 7th Infantry Division repeats the same mistake, Duqiwei would have to invest more troops into the Turkish battlefield. Even if this would not have too much impact on the battle in the south, it would also cause the US military to lose more combat troops.

According to Ducheway's logic, a night of shelling is not too expensive.

Even if the ground attack has been launched, Iranian or Iraqi troops can be used. The main force of the Republic's Army may have been transferred to other places.

If this is true, rushing to Silter to help him is to let the 7th Infantry Division die.

Of course, Duchway must confirm his speculation.

Before dawn, the US military's large unmanned reconnaissance plane rushed over and took pictures of the battlefield in the direction of Silt in Diyabakir.

As the sky brightened, the situation on the battlefield became more and more obvious.

Duchiwei had just had breakfast when the staff sent the latest reconnaissance report. The one who was attacking Silt was indeed the main force of the First Combat Unit, because the unmanned reconnaissance plane not only captured the tank chariots painted with the First Combat Unit logo, but also identified that these tank chariots were indeed only available in the Republic Army. 3 Old and Zhaopu, without leaving the old ones to Iran and Iraq

.

Half an hour later, the second information was delivered.

Like the first intelligence, it has been confirmed that the main force of the Republic Army was the Republic Army, the main force of the first combat unit was the troops of the first combat unit in the east, and the interspersed task in the west were the troops of the tenth combat unit. More importantly, this intelligence mentioned that the tenth combat unit only invested in three combat battalions, and the other main combat units were all transferred to the west of Batman and entered the defensive position.

Now, there is no need to guess at all. Pei Chengyi's intentions can be found.

Eat the remnants of the European Legion and fight the upcoming 7th Infantry Division west of Batman. Because the purge work in the west of Silt has been almost done, if the war ends at this time, the Republic will win. To put it bluntly, the Republic can completely stop large-scale military operations at this time and establish a kilogram of Kurdish countries in the controlled occupied area. Even if the Republic authorities do not intend to dismember Turkey, they can establish a Kurdish autonomous regime in the occupied area that is completely uncontrolled by the Turkish central government. In short, the Republic's Army may adjust its strategic deployment at any time and defend the fruits of victory.

For Duchway, this is definitely an unacceptable result.

In offensive operations, the two combat units of the Republic Army, to be precise, are thugs, one combat unit plus some Iranian troops that do not have much combat effectiveness, can eat 2 US Army divisions and about 10,000 Turkish National Army. If the Republic Army intends to consolidate its defensive positions, make full use of the complex terrain of the war areas, and with the Republic Army's strong advantages in tactical air transport, the two combat units can withstand at least one US Army division. If the Iranian army and the Iraqi army are included, Duqiwei needs to prepare at least 7 divisions of troops to defeat the opponent in a battle that does not care about casualties and losses and regain the southeastern Turkey. The new address of this site has been changed to: Exorcist, please log in to read it if you delete it!

Mo Yong doubted that this was absolutely impossible.

It is nothing to use 7 divisions to attack southeastern Turkey. The question is, who can guarantee that casualties will not exceed the United States' ability to bear? You must know that the Republic's Army attaches great importance to the active forces that kill and injure the enemy in defensive wars, and has the ability to make the US military pay a heavy price. It is not a problem to kill thousands of American soldiers for Turkey, but it is a problem to save the lives of tens of thousands of American soldiers for Turkey.

There is only one way to stop this, that is, to launch an attack before the opponent organizes the defense line.

The question returns to the starting point, whether to let the 7th Infantry Division attack Batmann if it is not well prepared.

When thinking of this problem, Du Qiwei once again found out that he was avoided by Pei Chengyi and had to make a very reluctant choice.

Without sending the 7th Infantry Division out, Pei Chengyi could easily defeat Silter and save the minimum results.

By sending the 7th Infantry Division out, Pei Chengyi can take this opportunity to launch the next round of attack and expand the results of the battle.

For Pei Chengyi, this is undoubtedly a gamble.

The problem is. For Duchway, it was also a gamble.

More importantly, Pei Chengyi didn't need to raise any bets at all and could gamble while saving his old capital, while Du Qiwei had to gamble all bets, and when he could lose completely, he bets on everything for a target that was not so sharp.

As a sensible commander, Duchwit knows how to choose skills.

Just as he was about to make a choice, the staff officer sent the third reconnaissance report.

This report has little to do with the battle in the direction of Silter, and to be precise, it has no direct relationship.

Before dawn, the main force of the eighth combat unit of Gaziantep was arrested for only about three hours, and then the task of sweeping the remaining Turkish troops was handed over to the support force and continued to advance.

As Duchiwei expected, the Eighth Combat Unit did not advance towards Ankara, but turned west not far north of Gaziantep, pointing the attack arrow at Ottomaniye. Anyone could see that Pei Chengyi's real purpose was definitely not Ottomaniye north of Iskendron Bay. Instead, he wanted to surround Iskendron and destroy the main landing site for the US military to reinforce Turkey.

If this is true, the US military will definitely lose not Silt, but Turkey's entire kilogram.

It was precisely this. Du Qiwei suddenly realized that Pei Chengyi was not the kind of commander who made small fuss

.

To put it simply, if a small victory could satisfy Pei Chengyi, he would not have achieved such brilliant achievements in his military career in just years.

In other words, from the beginning, Pei Chengyi set a very high goal.

In this way, no matter whether Duqiwei sent the 7th Infantry Division or not, Pei Chengyi would let the main force of the 10th combat unit attack Diyabakir at the right time, and would definitely try his best to defeat Diyabakir. In fact, Duqiwei had this premonition, otherwise he would not have allowed two artillery brigades to move back on the 6th, nor would he have asked the two artillery brigades to speed up the transfer in the early morning of the 7th. Before that, Duqiwei just didn't believe it. Pei Chengyi would risk attacking Diyabakir while surrounding two US military divisions. Now it seems that Pei Chengyi did not have a big idea to take this risk, but would have to attack Diyabakir after eating two US military divisions.

The problem was once again in front of Duchewi.

Can the 7th Infantry Division block the attack of the tenth combat unit?

If not, do I need to increase troops in time?

Can the troops that reinforce Diyabakir arrive in time?

If reinforcements cannot arrive in time, what methods should be used to gain more time?

The series of questions tangled with Duchewei and also tested his abilities.

At noon that day, the vanguard of the Eighth Combat Unit had arrived at Bakchche, east of Ottomaniye, less than a thousand meters away from the destination. Although the vanguard of the Eighth Combat Unit stopped at this time and sent a force to attack Israhiye. The depth of the flank defense line was expanded and there was no rush to march towards Ottomaniye, the situation in the west was already very obvious. The 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division must have to go north quickly to plug the loopholes in the defense line and compete with the Eighth Combat Unit for Ottomaniye.

In other words, even if Ottomaniye was guarded, because the front line had advanced to Iskendron, the troops arrived at sea could not reinforce Diyabakir. They could only send combat troops to the front line by air transportation.

The problem is here.

If the Air Force is in progress, it will take at least a thug to send the Strategist to Diyabaker.

With the combat effectiveness of the 7th Infantry Division, if you are not proactive, it is impossible to hold on for a week in Diyabakir.

According to Du Qiwei's estimate, as long as Pei Chengyi makes up his mind and invests more air force, he can defeat Diyabaker and annihilate the Infantry Division within three to four days. The new address of this site has been changed to: Please log in to read it if you delete it!

If you want to gain enough time, you can only turn passive into active.

Thinking of this, Duchiwei knew that the main purpose of the eighth combat unit marching towards Osmaniye was not to defeat Iskendron. After all, a thug combat unit could not defeat the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division. Even if two combat units were invested, it was unlikely that Iskendron would be able to successfully defeat Iskendron. Pei Chengyi's purpose was very simple, that was, to cut off the US reinforcement route and provide assistance to attack Diyabakir.

At this point, Duqiwei has to consider the fifth combat unit that has arrived on the battlefield.

In other words, if Diyabakir is lost, it is equivalent to opening the door to the Republic Army to march into Ankara. Even if Pei Chengyi does not put the attack on Ankara in the first place, it is very likely that under favorable conditions, the main force will be dispatched to overthrow the Turkish regime.
