Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 131: The War Accelerates
;However, the operation of blowing up the Ataturfang Reservoir Dayi in ten years was very difficult to get out of the way, but in the face of the sudden flood, the real victims were definitely not fully armed soldiers, but those unarmed civilians.
You should know that any field force has the ability to cross rivers and will not be afraid of artificial floods at all.
Take the combat troops of the Republic Army as an example. The Dian-type main battle tank and the Concave-type infantry fighting vehicle were developed by the Army and the Marine Corps. Although the army and the Marine Corps are different, such as not having a high-power water jet propulsion system installed, they must have floating crossing capabilities. In fact, as main combat equipment with three defense capabilities, plus Tuoyin and Mother Heart are both electric combat vehicles. Even if they are flooded, as long as they are not overturned, there will be no big problems with other combat equipment. For example, military Yueshu, etc., all have poisonous water capabilities, and some have floating crossing capabilities. In addition, in the face of floods, the army's self-rescue ability is much better than that of civilians.
Not to mention the combat troops of the Republic Army, even the Turkish National Army in the flood impact area was not "imperfected".
Of course, the impact of floods is very large.
To be precise, the silt brought by the flood had a great impact on the combat operations of the troops.
Pei Chengyi received the news on the night of the past. The Turkish army had just blown up the reservoir.
.
Because before that, the Turkish army had blown up the dam of the Devegaijidi Reservoir, which had some impact on Diyabakir, Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao both attached great importance to this situation. When arranging combat missions for the sixth combat unit and the tenth combat unit, Yuan Chenhao asked Sai Biao and Li Dongshi to pay special attention to the situation of the Ataturk Dam and sent large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to rush to monitor the Turkish army in that direction. Pei Chengyi also greeted the front line command and even asked Zhang Xiaolong to use the resources of the Military Intelligence Bureau to estimate the impact of the dam after the dam burst.
Unfortunately, before the Military Intelligence Bureau made an assessment, the Turkish army took action.
In the early morning of the past, after receiving the first situation report sent by Yuan Chenhao, Pei Chengyi immediately asked Zhang Xiaolong, who had arrived in Gang.com, to answer the phone number between Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin for him.
"It has been confirmed that the Turkish army exploded the dam." Pei Chengyi said, while asking Zhang Xiaolong to send some of the sorted pictures to Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin through the Internet. "This is a photo taken by the reconnaissance plane. Judging from the width of the breach and the location of the breach, the Turkish army chose a very ideal blasting point and used several tons of explosives. It is concluded that the Turkish army not only wanted to destroy the hydropower system of the dam, but also prepared to release hundreds of millions of tons of water in the Ataturk reservoir to block our attack and even eliminate two combat units of our army.
"How is the situation of the front line troops?" Li Cunxun asked a very direct question.
"Because the alarm is very timely, the sixth combat unit, which was currently in the brunt of the attack, has already prepared for the flood impact Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "According to estimates, the flood peak will arrive in Nizipu in thirty minutes. It is expected that about 100 casualties will be killed or killed, and some equipment and facilities will be damaged. Although based on satellite remote sensing data, the flood will eventually spread to Shanle Ulfa, but there is not much impact force and will not pose a threat to the tenth combat individual, but it will only prevent the tenth combat unit from reaching Gaziantep from the ground."
"That is, we have to change the offensive route?"
Pei Chengyi nodded and looked at Zhang Xiaolong who was sitting next to him.
"We used the mathematical model of flood control the previous year to do a rough analysis. This is the analysis result. Zhang Xiaolong put a map that marked the flood-covered area with red, orange, yellow and green colors on the Internet. "All towns in the red area, including artificial infrastructure, will be damaged, including several railway bridges and highway bridges on the Euphrates River. It can be seen that the area is mainly concentrated on both sides of the Euphrates River, and is mainly on the east bank. This is mainly affected by the earth's autobiography and the west bank of the northern hemisphere river."
“We know this, let’s talk about something specific.
.Liu Xiaobin reminded Zhang Xiaolong not to go off topic.
Zhang Xiaolong paused and said, "The yellow area is a floodplain. Because the Ataturk Dam may collapse again, it will release about 20% of the water. So on this basis, the scope of the floodplain may be expanded by 10% to 15%. The main areas that are flooded are agricultural areas on the west bank of the Euphrates River, as well as several low-lying areas on the east bank. Because we have not been able to grasp the specific situation of the flood, especially how much silt and sand are contained, we cannot infer the final impact area.
"Can't you roughly estimate?" Li Cunxun asked. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 8 Si, please log in to read
Zhang Xiaolong seemed a little hesitant. After all, on such an important topic, speculation is not good.
.
Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "The Ataturk Reservoir was built in the late 1980s and was completed in the early 1990s. So far, Mao has a history of more than half a century. Because the vegetation coverage rate in the upper Euphrates River is not high, the silt accumulation phenomenon in the Ataturk Reservoir is very serious. Judging from the photos taken by the reconnaissance aircraft, the blasting point is about one-third of the dam high from the bottom of the tank. From the initial video, the silt content of the flood is very large, so we estimate that the silt in the reservoir is between 15 billion tons and 20 billion tons. As for the specific details, "We will send back the detailed data collected as soon as possible, and then ask the experts of the Empty Basin... to calculate it. In fact,
The biggest threat is not floods, but silt caused by floods. More importantly, we must consider the impact that Syria may suffer. Because the Euphrates River is more than ten meters lower than the surrounding terrain, about half of the water and one-third of the silt will flow into Syria. Fortunately, the flood peak will enter Lake Assad before reaching the first large and medium-sized city, which is the Revolutionary City in Laqqa Province. This largest lake in Syria has been irrigating surrounding farmlands all year round, and Turkey intercepts upstream, so the water has always been low. It can accommodate about 5 billion cubic meters of floods and silt, and weaken the impact of the flood peak by several levels. According to our estimates, Syria will not be greatly affected."
"It seems that you have checked the information."
Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Actually, this was all prepared by Lao Zhang, and I just told him."
Li Cunxun nodded and said to Zhang Xiaolong: "Contact the Syrian authorities as soon as possible and let them do a good job in flood control.
"The news has been sent to the Syrian government
"Old Li, the key is not here
Hearing Pei Chengyi's words, Li Cunxun asked him to continue.
"Blowing up the dam is definitely not the decision of the Turkish authorities. In any case, Ataturk Reservoir is Turkey's largest reservoir and will not be able to make such a stupid move until the country is destroyed."
"Who are you "
"According to my judgment, it must be related to Duchwie."
Li Cunxun immediately frowned.
"General Pei, can you explain it clearly?" Liu Xiaobin asked on behalf of Li Cunxun.
"Before this, our army's sixth combat unit had already fought to Nizip. The tenth combat unit killed Shanle Urfa. With the two combat units meeting, the two battlefields on the northern front were connected together. It can be said that no matter what the battle was like later, our army will definitely be guaranteed to be undefeated." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "In fact, as long as we work harder, we can win the maximum victory. We will turn more than ten provinces in the Anatolia region and the Mediterranean region in southeastern Turkey into Kurdish autonomous regions and even establish a Kurdish country on this basis. At this time, the US military is only one step away from defeat."
Li Cunxun breathed a long sigh, as if he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.
In order to attract Li Cunxun's attention, Pei Chengyi continued: "Duqiwei has no other choice. We must organize us to win on the northern front, so we must prevent our army from meeting in the south of the Ataturk Reservoir.
With no troops to send, blowing up the dam and creating floodplain became the most effective way. In fact, Duchway did succeed. Unless we completely give up ground traffic, we can only bypass the Ataturk Reservoir from the east, capture several important military cities including Siverek, Maratia and Adyaman, and re-set a strategic line of defense, so that we can negotiate a ceasefire with the US military in a more favorable situation. There is no doubt that this series of combat operations not only requires a lot of time and huge investment, but also requires more combat troops and pay a greater price. According to my estimate, in the next battle, our army's offensive operations will become extremely difficult."
"We need to give up the established war goal?" Li Cunxun asked very simply.
"There is this possibility, but not now." Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and said, "If it can be proved that Duchwit ordered the blow of the Ataturk Dam, Syria has reason to launch a retaliatory strike against the United States, or we have reason to use Syria's name to launch a retaliatory strike against the United States. As long as we can control the scale of retaliatory strike, that is, only a retaliatory strike against the United States' military targets, and no evidence that the United States accuses us, even if the U.S. authorities know that we are striking behind the scenes, they will not retaliate against us for this, and there is no need to worry about losing control of the war. If we can choose a more ideal target, the war can end in our favor."
Hearing this, Li Cunxun immediately laughed.
"Ideal goal? Liu Xiaobin is a little confused because Pei Chengyi had never talked to him about attacking the US Navy fleet before.
"The US fleet Li Cunxun added a sentence for Pei Chengyi and reiterated, "It is indeed feasible, and the US authorities are guilty of being a thief. They definitely don't want us to expand the scope of the war, and they will remain silent even if they suffer losses. The key is how to ensure the smooth completion of the strike operation."
Pei Chengyi did not speak and left the opportunity to answer this question to Zhang Xiaolong. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 8 Si, please log in to read
It is obvious that Pei Chengyi wanted Zhang Xiaolong to show off in front of Li Cunxun, but it was actually completely unnecessary, because Zhang Xiaolong was one of the intelligence personnel that Li Cunxun focused on promoting and cultivating.
"Joint Command Ceza thugs, the general plan for the strike operation will be completed after some key issues are implemented. "Zhang Xiaolong is also a smart person and has not forgotten to put the Joint Command in front. "The strike operation will be under the responsibility of our aviation force. In order to cover large-scale mobilization, a decisive battle on the ground will be launched while attacking the US fleet and investing a large amount of aviation forces. If the air force can be mobilized at the same time, thousands of combat aircraft from the Navy and the Army will be unable to track all targets, and it is impossible to accurately grasp our strike operation
At this point, we can draw from it, and a hundred to two hundred combat aircraft will be divided into the concave fleet. In terms of support, the maritime bases are still the main ones, that is, all tactical aircraft participating in the attack on the US fleet will start from the maritime base. In other aspects, we are still in the process of making decisions. After determining the strike action, we can come up with specific combat plans within 24 hours."
"It's mainly how big the success rate is." Liu Xiaobin gurgled.
"The strike operation is crucial. We all hope to succeed, but we cannot bear the burden for it or give up this operation because of the fear of failure." Pei Chengyi said very politely, "I mentioned earlier that if we cannot end the war with this pound, we will pay more for victory, and even thousands of republic soldiers will die. Compared with this, what is the responsibility we bear? In fact, Lao Li also mentioned that the US authorities are guilty of being a thief. Even if the strike operation fails, the US authorities will not make a big fuss from a military perspective! This can also show our determination to war. Let the US authorities have some concerns about whether to carry out the war to the end, thus opening the door to the armistice negotiations. In general, I think it is necessary to take risks for this."
Liu Xiaobin nodded, expressing his agreement with Pei Chengyi's opinion and did not give any further comments.
"The key is to point directly to the United States, or to Ducheeway's evidence," Zhang Xiaolong added. "Only when the evidence is obtained can the US authorities know that if the war loses control, those senior American leaders who support Turkish troops blow up the dam will become war criminals."
"I will find a way to do this." Li Cunxun thought for a while and said, "Before I make a decision, I need to ask the head of state for advice. You can make relevant preparations and make a complete and feasible combat plan as soon as possible, but do not issue combat tasks to the troops. After I solicit the head of state's opinions, decide what to do.
Seeing Li Cunxun expressing his opinion, Pei Chengyi and Zhang Xiaolong did not talk much, and the meeting ended here.
Pei Chengyi and Zhang Xiaolong both know Li Cunxun very well and know that Li Cunxun is preparing for everyone's retreat. To combat major events like the US fleet, at least the opinions of the head of state are needed, and the support of the head of state is required. In this way, even if the battle is screwed up, it is not the turn of Pei Chengyi and Zhang Xiaolong to be responsible. In other words, Li Cunxun has agreed to Pei Chengyi's combat plan and let Pei Chengyi start the implementation, but he did not hand over the power to pull the trigger to Pei Chengyi.

Anyway, this is the best result.
After asking Zhang Xiaolong to be in charge of intelligence work, Pei Chengyi called Yang Shaoyong, Hu Jing'an, Long Hongen and other senior staff members over and arranged specific work tasks for them.
At this time, the news that the Turkish army had blown up the Ataturk Dam had already caused a lot of international public opinion
Of course.
You should know that many years ago, when Turkey announced the construction of the Ataturk Dam in the upper reaches of the Euphrates River, it was firmly opposed by the countries downstream, and almost fought with Syria and Iraq. This is why Turkey, as an Islamic country, is incompatible with those Arab countries of Allah.
Of course, different news media have different focus.
When reporting the news, the American news media focused on the economic value of the water conservancy facility, such as the installed capacity of tens of thousands of kilowatts of water and electricity, the irrigated tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and the drinking water provided to surrounding cities. In short, in the eyes of the American news media, the collapse of the Ataturk Dam was the Turkish business, and the losses were also the interests of the Turks.
Obviously, the news media in many Arab countries will not see this way.
When Al Jazeera reported the news, it first mentioned that tens of millions of Arabs in the lower Euphrates River were seriously threatened, and also hired water conservancy experts, qualitologists and meteorologists to fall off the dam. The impact on the hydrology, geological environment, and climate change in the region extends to the impact on the entire Euphrates River basin and on the life and production of tens of millions of Arabs in Syria and Iraq. In short, in Al Jazeera, what collapsed was not a dam, but the sky above its head.
Relatively speaking, European news media are more calm and objective.
When French State Television 1 reported this incident, it first mentioned the approximate downstream of the dam; for the Turks, the thugs of Liwan, the Kurds and the Syrians, the life and property safety issues of the flood, and made a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the impact of the flood. It also reminded the audience that the Turkish authorities must have blown up the dam for military purposes, so they called on both sides to stop military operations as soon as possible.
The problem is that the impact of international public opinion is minimal.
Everyone knows that just a dam cannot stop fighting without deciding the outcome of the two sides, but will instead stimulate the Gui side to take more active military actions and strive to shorten the duration of the war. As for the damage caused by the war, it may be even greater.
Chapter completed!
