When the first round of charge launched by the Arab Guards Cavalry Division against Rehovot was crushed by the defenders, an elite combat unit of more than 3,000 people was advancing rapidly on the coastal road from Tel Aviv to Egypt. Now, this unit, which includes the Irish foreign corps "Viking" Battalion, "Mohamed" Battalion and the Jewish "Flying Army" in Tel Aviv is not only the sharpest weapon in the hands of Zionists, but also the ground force with the highest combat effectiveness in the entire Palestinian region. Not to mention, the "Viking" Battalion alone is an armored combat unit with first-class combat power in Europe. In recent years, they have defeated the regular armored forces of Germany and Ireland on the exercise field, which has also made the newly formed mechanized troops of the French lose face. They have won unanimous praise from famous generals with their outstanding tactical qualities and bold combat style...

As the genuine commander of the Viking Battalion, Kurt Meyer took the battalion personnel to take two armored command vehicles and followed the battalion's reconnaissance platoon. He wore a short-brimmed military cap without a badge, a cool black leather windbreaker, and a diamond-shaped collared seal with the double-edged battle axe logo on the collar. He sometimes looked into the distance, and sometimes turned to look at the long armored queue. The complete organization of the Viking Battalion includes two armored combat companies, one armored assault company, one maintenance company and the reconnaissance platoon directly under the battalion. This time, all the vehicles of the battalion, including maintenance and baggage vehicles, were all out of the formation.

"Sir, after receiving the task force's report, the offensive and defensive battle of Rehovot has begun. After more than twenty minutes of fighting, the defenders repelled the first round of attacks of the Arab cavalry. The task force has not taken action yet. It is estimated that the defenders' casualties are minor." The communications officer with the vehicle reported to Meyer.

Meier glanced to the southeast with a blank expression: "The number one powerhouse in the Arab Kingdom is so unbearable? No wonder this force has not appeared on the battlefield in previous Palestinian conflicts. It seems that this 'first powerhouse' is just a false reputation!"

Seeing that Meier did not give any instructions, the communications soldier sat back to his position.

Later, Meier asked another telecommunication soldier: "Does our reconnaissance plane report be sent back?"

The correspondent shook his head: "No news has been received from the Jewish aviation force yet."

"Aviation Force..." Meier shook his head with a sarcastic look. The planes organized by the Jewish militia in Tel Aviv were not even as good as those of the Irish Air Force 20 years ago. It would be a big question whether they could find the enemy's traces.

Without an unexpected incident, the joint forces formed by the Jews and the Irish Foreign Corps continued to advance to the designated area at the speed of combat marches. When the Viking Battalion arrived at the designated location, there was no news of the battle from Rehovot. Instead, the Jews sent aircraft to perform reconnaissance and harassment missions to send some enemy situation reports. However, as Meyer expected, the contents of these night reconnaissance reports were contradictory and even incredible, so they did not have military reference value. Therefore, he ordered the companies to remain vigilant, stand on the spot, and sent the reconnaissance platoon to carry out surveillance reconnaissance on the periphery. The wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle of the "Grey Squirrel" was transferred to Rehovot for assistance. The battalion of the "Viking" battalion belonged to the reconnaissance platoon.

The 8 "Patrol" light combat vehicles were organized into four armored reconnaissance teams. Not long after, one of the teams encountered Arab cavalry in the desert about 5 kilometers away from Rehovot. There were hundreds of Arab cavalrymen. They camped on the spot and dug up simple combat fortifications. Because the tracked vehicles were slightly louder and less concealed than wheeled reconnaissance vehicles, the reconnaissance personnel under Meier caused the Arabs to notice before they got close. Dozens of Arab cavalry came over, and the reconnaissance team was able to tear these ignorant guys into pieces with the firepower of the two "Patrols" enough to shock the snakes, but they quickly retreated and successfully got rid of the other side by the cover of night and terrain.

By midnight, the "Mohamed" battalion and the Jewish "Flying Army" were deployed one after another, and the Arab army surrounding Rehovot changed its lazy and casual posture and launched a second round of attacks overnight. According to the report of Rehovot's defenders, the Arabs first bombarded artillery fire and then advanced with infantry, trying to break through the defending positions from the north and south directions, but judging from the incoming forces and attack posture, this is likely to be a reconnaissance attack.

After two rounds of night flight, the pilots of the Jewish aviation force were able to locate Rehovot more accurately. During the second round of attacks, they bombed the artillery positions of the Arab army under the guidance of defending signal flares and flares. Although this air strike failed to cause great damage to the Arabs, it successfully diverted the attention of the Arab army, indirectly weakened their vigilance on the periphery, and reduced the propulsion resistance for the upcoming counter-encirclement by their own troops.

At around 2 a.m., the Viking Battalion, which had a rest, received a combat order to work with friendly forces to implement anti-encirclement of the Arab army outside Rehovot. Meier did not hesitate to assign the 1st, 2nd Armored Combat Company and the 3rd Armored Assault Company to attack the two armored combat companies in turn. They used the "Celtic Knight" H-type combat vehicles. They used the 66-diameter 75mm chariot gun made by Ireland and an enhanced double-person turret, which can be equipped with remote-controlled machine guns and dual-mounted anti-tank rockets. From the original A-type to H-type, the Irish military has basically tapped the potential of this medium-sized combat vehicle.

Exhausted; the armored assault company is equipped with the famous "Irish Leopard", which has a combat weight of 34 tons. It is equipped with a 60-diameter 88mm rifled gun made by Krupp. Its power is slightly weaker than the 105mm rifled gun used by the "Irish Tiger". However, it is more than enough to deal with most tanks of war in this era. It uses a flat-out semicircular cast turret and inclined body armor, and has excellent bulletproof performance. In addition, it is equipped with two 500-horsepower 12-cylinder water-cooled diesel engines, with a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour. It is the best among medium-sized tanks.

For the Arab army, which is mainly cavalry and infantry, whether it is the "Celtic Knight" H-type or the more modern "Irish leopard" with more modern elements, they are all like a chicken. Even so, Meier is not slacking off at all. After all, the side where the "Viking" battalion is responsible for interspersing and encircling is the key direction of the Arab siege attack, gathering tens of thousands of cavalry, infantry and artillery units. The "Viking" battalion is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. The equipment level and tactical literacy of the Arab Kingdom government army are indeed low.

But the soldiers are not lambs in military uniforms, especially those named "Guardian", who have the potential to burst out amazing energy in adversity. He does not want precious chariots, especially the "Irish leopards", to be destroyed by vulgar Arab soldiers. In view of this, he and his armored command vehicles are always on the front line. He uses his keen battlefield insight and judgment to command the troops to crush all the enemy's resistance in a simple and direct way, and properly extend the encirclement to the other end of Rehovot...

In response to the reinforcements coming from Tel Aviv, the Jewish armed forces defending Rehovot also launched a counterattack against the Arabs. The combatants deployed in the city quickly advanced to the peripheral positions built on the ring road. The troops originally guarded the peripheral positions crossed the highway with the support of machine guns and mortars, advanced to various outpost positions they set up in advance, and then opened fire fiercely at the Arab army.

Under the situation of being attacked from both sides, the Arab army, which had always claimed to be brave, could not escape the fate of collapse. Under the rapid impact of the opponent's armored combat vehicles, their resistance shattered like glass under the tacit cooperation of the opponent's officers and soldiers and the rampant of automatic weapons. Whether it was the Arab cavalry unit with hundreds of people, the Arab infantry with thousands of people, or the artillery positions deployed with thousands of people, they all collapsed in front of the opponent's offensive as fast as lightning and as fierce as wild beasts...

Attack, attack, attack again! That night, the soldiers of the "Viking" battalion, the "Mumhamed" battalion and the Jewish "Flying Army" were able to enjoy the joy of cutting butter with knife and butter. They rushed through the positions of the Arab army like wind and clouds, leaving the Arab soldiers who were afraid of abandoning their weapons and kneeling on the ground far behind!

At 4 a.m., the 1st Armored Combat Company, which was the attack vanguard, met with the vanguard of the "Mohamed" battalion east of Rehovot. One by one, the "Celtic Knights" chariots were adjusted to block the retreat of the Arab army, and the anti-encirclement circle was constructed. On the left-wing front that stretched for nearly ten kilometers, more than 80 tanks belonging to the "Viking" battalion were arranged in a platoon, with 600-800 meters apart from each other, and the points were connected into lines.

A huge "fishing net". If you want to escape from this fishing net, you have to withstand the test of guns and cannons from the opponent's chariots. In fact, most Arabs have been dizzy by the fierce battle. When they see the dazzling lights shot by these ferocious beasts, they hear the buzzing artillery fire and bursting machine guns, they are scared and lost. In the end, only a few cavalry can break out in the chaos.

The sky was getting brighter and the guns and cannons around Rehovot had calmed down. After a night of war, most of the Jews had worked hard to plough the farmland, orange orchards and pastures were damaged. The remains of Arabs and horses could be seen everywhere in the fields, and hundreds of Arab soldiers who were dejected and captured became obedient sheep under the guard of Jewish militias. A few months ago, the Palestine Jews were about such a scene.
