Throughout history, the tank industry in many countries has been derived from tractor factories. With this idea, the Jews established their first tractor factory in Tel Aviv in the early 1940s, and collaborated to assemble American Caterpillar agricultural tractors and crawler bulldozers. By the mid-1940s, the factory was able to assemble 20 tractors or bulldozers every month, which could fully maintain the tractors and bulldozers returning to the factory, and had the ability to produce some parts by themselves.

In early summer 1948, as the chariots purchased from the New United Kingdom arrived here, the tractor factory called K Spade K became the cradle of the Jewish chariot troops. In the warehouse filled with various cargo boxes, 120 Jewish tractor drivers, truck drivers and motorcycles with various driving experience began to learn chariot driving under the guidance of Irish instructors, and 400 carefully selected volunteers received training in the operation and maintenance of the chariot in the same way, so as to select the commander, gunner, and radio.

In fact, according to the suggestions of the New United Kingdom military, these Jewish trainees would be best to go to Ireland for 6-8 months of professional training. However, the Zionists were eager to hope that the chariots they purchased at high prices could form combat effectiveness, and the changes in the situation in Palestine did not allow them to go back and forth. Both sides finally decided to train the first batch of chariot crews of the Zionist organization through on-site teaching and training.

Just as Jewish trainees were training day and night in the Spades factory in full production, as Zionist organizations worried, Arab militants with Arab Kingdom or Syria backing behind were unwilling to be defeated by the tragic defeat of Amona town, and a wave of attacks against Jews and Jews in the Palestinian region. For a time, Jews outside the Tel Aviv militia guard circle were frightened all day long, and many people tried to withdraw.

When going to Tel Aviv, Arab militants took the opportunity to ambush the road leading to Tel Aviv, looting and even damaging the Jews who passed by it, and countless Jewish families suffered. Not only that, the Jewish villages and towns located around Tel Aviv were frequently invaded by Arab armed forces, and they often broke into pieces, attacked, kidnapped Jews working in farmlands around villages and towns, blackmailed their families, and even if they paid the ransom, they might be torn to vote.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, the Zionists decided to speed up the establishment of a Jewish state. Their funds continued to be transferred to the new United Kingdom in exchange for a large number of weapons, equipment, ammunition and supplies. By July 1948, in addition to the "Mohammed" battalion, which arrived in advance, the Irish Foreign Corps also had the "Nicolau" battalion. The two powerful brigades of the "Napoleon" battalion arrived. The most powerful "Viking" battalion also transferred a chariot company and a battalion-affiliated maintenance force. So far, there were nearly 3,000 Irish Foreign Corps gathered in Tel Aviv, and the number of Jewish militias had increased by more than twice. Every morning and dusk, the squares and open spaces in Tel Aviv were almost actively trained militias, and the busy port city turned into a large barracks.

Soon, the Syrian Republic sent troops to Palestine again on the grounds that the border towns were attacked by armed thugs. However, after the Syrian army entered the country, it did not point its finger at the militants who were rampant in the Palestinian region, but instead rushed to Tel Aviv and Jaffa, the richest in the region. The Arab Kingdom performed very abnormally this time. The border guards guarding the northwest border almost retreated without fighting. The regular troops stationed in the coastal areas of Palestinian do nothing and allow the Syrian army to enter the defense zone. The most well-equipped divisions in the Kingdom of Arabia gathered in the capital area hundreds of kilometers away. According to their previous march efficiency, it would be impossible to come for reinforcements without ten days and half a month.

Today's Palestine region is nominally owned by the Arab Kingdom. The official representative of the Arab Kingdom is not in the League of Nations accused the Syrian army of invading its own country. The League of Nations was powerless to do anything to the Syrian army. Under such circumstances, the Jews either allowed the Syrian army to enter Tel Aviv to do whatever they wanted, or they could only use their own strength to fight against the numerous Syrian regular troops.

The Zionists had no choice but to take up their weapons against the Syrian army.

A battle engraved with courage and indomitableness began in Hardyra, a coastal town north of Tel Aviv. More than 1,200 Jewish militias, with the cooperation of more than 400 soldiers of the Irish foreign corps, guarded temporary fortifications and met with about 1,500 Syrian advance troops. At first glance, the guards had both advantageous numbers and advantageous locations, but in combination with the combat power of both sides, the situation could not be as optimistic as the guards. The Syrian Republic was born when the Ottoman Empire was declining. They first expelled the Ottoman army by force, and then sent troops to support the Turkish Republic in the Turkish civil war, with a large number of officers and soldiers with rich practical experience. In recent years, the construction and development of the Syrian army has been strongly assisted by the Turks, and at the same time, they have followed the Turkish army.

Italy, which actively expands its influence eastward, maintains close ties and has a relatively ideal military condition. Judging from the several armed conflicts surrounding Palestinian sovereignty, the two ace divisions of the Syrian army are of high quality and strong combat power. They can basically fight against the front-line troops of the Arab Kingdom. Fortunately for the Jews, the Syrian army that entered Palestine this time did not have the numbers of those two ace divisions. However, Damascus, the capital of Syria, is located in the southwestern border of the country, is only a stone's edge from the Palestine region. Syria is bordered by Turkey in the north, Iraq to the east, and the vast Mediterranean to the west. The main forces of the army are usually deployed around Damascus. That is to say, once the front-line war changes, the Syrians can very quickly send their two ace divisions that have been on the battlefield for many years.

At the beginning of the battle, the Syrian army, which was in a state of no man in the Palestinian region, did not take the Jewish armed forces seriously. They took more than a dozen armored combat vehicles as their vanguards, followed by a large number of infantry, and rushed over without implementing artillery fire. The inexperienced Jewish militia still failed to calm down and opened fire before all the opponent's infantry entered the range of guns and bullets. This time, the Russian officers and soldiers of the "Nicolas" Battalion had no implicitness, and directly used machine guns and mortar fire to greet the Syrians exposed in the open area, and fired armor-breaking bombs with 80mm caliber vehicle-mounted recoilless cannons, destroying nearly half of the Syrian armored combat vehicles on the spot.

The guards' powerful firepower beyond imagination gave the Syrian advance troops a stick. The Syrians, who had lost their troops, showed the well-trained side of the regular troops. They first showed the enemy's weakness and deliberately made the withdrawal seem scattered. At the same time, they ambushed the reserve team that had not been put into the attack on the flank. Seeing that the guards did not come to pursue, they gathered the troops in an orderly manner and dug fortifications on the spot outside the range of artillery fire. They did not launch even a tentative attack on Hardyra that day.

As dusk approached, the Jewish militia's reconnaissance plane found about a brigade of Syrian troops north of Hardyra, which was heading south. According to normal calculations, after joining the advance troops, this Syrian army would launch an offensive against Hardyra at the latest morning. The attacking side not only had a 3-4-fold advantage in military strength, but also a certain number of mortars and infantry artillery were put into battle. Seeing that a fierce battle was inevitable, the Jewish militia decided to stay in Hardyra's residence.

The people retreated to Tel Aviv overnight. Dozens of buses and trucks rushed from Tel Aviv to Hardyla in time, bringing more than 500 militias and more than 300 soldiers from the Nikola battalion, and evacuated all the elderly, weak, women and children of Hardyla. The following night, Jewish militias and Russian officers and soldiers who served in the Irish Foreign Corps were digging and consolidating fortifications. By dawn, a originally neat and clean coastal town had become a fortress area with trenches and obstacles everywhere.

Before dawn, the first armored squadron of the Jewish militia of Tel Aviv also arrived at Hardyla to support the battle. The squadron was equipped with 2 "patrols" and 8 "heavy infantry". The crew of each chariot team was the best in the first batch of chariot cadets. Under the command of the Joint Combat Staff, these chariots did not drive directly into the town, but were ambushed in warehouses and bushes in the farm on the right wing.

After dawn, the Syrians on the opposite side did not launch a rush to attack, but instead made fires and made meals without rushing to shoot Hardyla with heavy mortars and infantry artillery. At around 8 o'clock, the Syrian officers and soldiers finished their breakfast, and the fighter formations flying from Syria also arrived. The bombardment of aircraft and artillery almost turned Hardyla into rubble. With the guidance and help of the officers and soldiers of the Irish Foreign Corps, most Jewish militias were in bunkers behind the positions.

They avoided the killing of artillery fire and bombs, but many of them were already at a loss by such a formation. When they returned to their positions, they saw thousands of Syrian soldiers pushing over with huge arrays of scattered soldiers, few of them were not trembling. Even so, these Jewish soldiers who had been influenced by Jewish doctrine since childhood, were tired of being displaced and fed up with foreign bullying, none of them fled without permission. Everyone was motionless, holding weapons without saying a word, waiting for the order to shoot.
