It was said that Du Qiwei realized on the night of July that Buchangcheer could not have been in Renxin until the next night. Then he would never have thought that the defenders of Fancheng would surrender without fighting.

Although shortly after the ground battle started, the focus shifted from the rapid assault of the first combat unit to the annihilation war that besieged Hakari Province. The tenth battle then entered the ground and snatched the limelight of the first combat, no one could deny the importance of the first combat attack alone in the north. If Pei Chengyi wanted to define the scope of the battlefield and take the initiative in his hands, he had to fight the thugs in the north and set out a front line, and the center of this front was Fancheng on the east bank of Fan Lake. In other words, Fancheng was one of the centers of the entire northern front line.

If it weren't for the limited military strength, Pei Chengyi would definitely let Ling Yunxiao conquer the mortal city himself.

Because Lake Fan is the largest lake in Turkey, a very famous plateau lake, and a natural boundary line in the Kurdish settlement area, Pei Chengyi cannot let the troops stop on the east bank of Lake Fan, and must go around to the west bank of Lake Fan as soon as possible to occupy the same important Tatwan. If the combat operations against Silt are considered, it is even more impossible for the first combat unit to delay too much time in the city of Fan.

That's right. Duqiwei doesn't attach much importance to the battle in the direction of Fancheng.

In fact, the Turkish army's views were completely opposite to Duchwie. Because the north of Fancheng is the "Armenian region in the sense of "the republic." If the Republican army was allowed to occupy Fancheng and head north, the Turkish authorities would face more than just the Kurdish issue.

Before the war broke out, the Turkish Army strengthened the defense of Fancheng and sent two elite divisions over. In other words, when the war broke out, there were many Turkish troops stationed in Fancheng. Although they were all infantry divisions, this Turkish army with a scale of nearly 70,000 should not be underestimated. In the words of the Turkish authorities, let alone the Iranian army, even the republic army, which is known as the world's number one, should not easily conquer the city.

Affected by this, Duqiwei had no reason to worry about Fancheng.

In his opinion, even if the Turkish army cannot defend a few cities in the end, they can still hold on for several days. As long as the main force of the US military arrives and gains a firm foothold in Silt, the pressure on Fancheng will be greatly reduced. If the Turkish army has some skills, it can even take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Republican army to fight the US military in the west to launch a counterattack from Fancheng and cut off the logistics supply line of the Republican army.

In short, Duqiwei never thought that Fancheng would fall quickly.

In fact, Du Qiwei cannot be blamed for this.

Before the night of July 2, Pei Chengyi did not intend to quickly conquer the city of Fancheng. According to his plan, he first determined the boundaries of the first round of offensive battles, and then the first battle would turn back and clean up the Turkish army in Fancheng and consolidate the entire defense line. Before that, the Iranian army was responsible for besieging Fancheng and not giving the Turkish army a chance to launch a counterattack.

After adjusting the combat strategy, this plan will not work.

As the battlefield scope expanded, two very obvious problems arose: one is the extension of the logistics line and the increase in the pressure of logistics support; the other is the extension of the attack time of the first combat unit and it is impossible to return to defense in time. From this point of view, if the first combat unit cannot take down the city of Fancheng when it is moving west quickly, even if the Iranian authorities make a promise, Pei Chengyi would not think that the local army in Fancheng is not threatened at all.

No matter what, the 4 Tu military advisors are definitely a threat.

The question is, how can we conquer the mortal city without using too many main forces?

The Iranian army is definitely unreliable. The Khomeini Division and Avazian Division fought so fiercely in the south, which proved that the Iranian army's combat effectiveness was not high. Behind the single butt of the first battle were only a few infantry divisions, and only one was the main infantry division, and the others were all reserve forces. If the Iranian army could stand up, Pei Chengyi would not have to consider raiding Fancheng at this time.

The first combat unit is already in short supply. Even if the support brigade of Bashkale can be transferred, because the artillery brigade is supporting the battle to annihilate the US troops in Hakari, it is difficult for the support brigade to obtain long-range fire support, and it is impossible to perform well in the attack. In fact, the support brigade lacks heavy equipment, and without sufficient fire support, it is impossible to capture the enemy's solid position.

After thinking about it, I can only attack Fancheng by using a sudden attack.

Of course, this problem was thrown to Yuan Chenhao. Pei Chengyi had only one task, which was to meet the requirements put forward by Yuan Chenhao as much as possible.

Yuan Chenhao did not disappoint Pei Chengyi, and in the early morning of July 3, he took out a less detailed combat strategy.

There is only one key point, that is, let the special forces dress up as the collapsed troops of the Turkish army, take advantage of the chaos to enter Fancheng, and then capture the Turkish army headquarters, and force the Turkish army commander to issue a surrender order.

Because time is tight, Pei Chengyi asked Yuan Chenhao to directly command the battle.

Of course, just special infiltration operations will definitely not be able to conquer the mortal city.

Before dawn, the Iranian infantry following the First Battle Ban attacked the Elchek town on the east side of the city of Fancheng. Because the Turkish troops in the town were not interested, they only lasted for a few hours under the fierce attack of the Iranian army, and soon after they retreated. It was at this time that dozens of officers and soldiers from a single direct reconnaissance battalion of the First Battle Bancheng sneaked into the repelling troops of the Turkish army. On the morning of the 3rd, the scouts successfully entered Fancheng. At noon that day, the Iranian army arrived at the outskirts of Fancheng.

In addition, he began to deploy defense lines on the periphery and took the initiative to siege Fancheng. In order to prevent the Turkish army from launching a counterattack, the Iranian army used the spear-routing line to attack several cities in the decade of defense. The scouts who had entered the city successfully found the Jianjun Command. Using the chaos caused by artillery bombing, the scouts quickly captured the Turkish army commander and captured the most commander of the defenders of the Fancheng. Under the pressure of the muzzle, the Turkish army commander had to issue a surrender order.

On July 3, the old dot blade was divided, and the Tumen of Fancheng officially announced that they would surrender to the Iranian army.

Although some small groups of Turkish troops were still resisting without the call of the corresponding commander, these small-scale battles would not have much impact when most of the Turkish troops laid down their weapons. That night, the Iranian army entered Fancheng and began to encircle and suppress the Turkish troops who refused to surrender.

Because the scouts of the first combat unit were the first to make the contribution, the Iranian authorities did not hype this "proud" victory.

For Du Qiwei, the fall of Fancheng was undoubtedly the biggest bad Jiang Xi.

Judging from the overall situation, the importance of Fancheng is definitely above Hakari.

What shocked Duqiwei even more was that the defenders of Fancheng actually surrendered to the Iranian army. It is not that Duqiwei looked down on the Iranian army, but the battle in the direction of Hakari has proved that the Iranian army is fierce enough.

The surrender of the thugs to the Iranian army means that the first combat unit in that direction has rushed to the front!

When the commander of the Vancheng defender issued the order to surrender, the main force of the First Combat Unit had reached Gavash, south of Van Lake, and the vanguard was advancing westward along the lakeshore highway. That night, when the Iranian army began to clear out the remaining Turkish troops in the Vancheng District, the vanguard force of the First Combat Unit had arrived outside Tatwan, and the main force had also set off from Gavash, and would definitely be able to arrive at Tatwan before dawn.

The first combat unit did not attack Fancheng, which does not mean that it would not attack Tatwan.

Du Qiwei is not a fool. Pei Chengyi didn't let the first combat unit attack Fancheng, but just quickly defeated Tatwan.

Because it is about a kilometer south of Silt, Tatwan can be regarded as the northern gateway of Silt. As long as the first combat unit defeats Tatwan and the tenth combat unit has controlled Schernak, it means that the Republic's army has completed the three-sided border operation against Silt, and it is almost the final general attack. At this time, anyone can see that Pei Chengyi's ultimate goal is to defeat Silt, otherwise the two single combat troops will not point to Silt at the same time. According to Duchwie's estimate, because the battle in the direction of the tenth combat unit is easier, as long as the first combat unit defeats Tatwan and cooperates with the first combat of the operation to catch up, the battle to attack Silt will begin. If everything goes well, an attack can be launched on the night of July or in the early morning of July.

Obviously, Duchwit had no choice.

On the night of the 3rd, Duchway sent Blücher out again, allowing the general who had just returned to Iskendren, who had only had dinner, to go to Silt to command the defensive operations.

Before sending Blüchel onto the plane, Duchwie made a solemn promise to send all the combat troops of the European Legion to Silt before dawn on July 4, and to provide Blüchwie with tens of thousands of tons of supplies to ensure that the European Legion could stick to the past. Duchwie had only one requirement, that is, no matter what, he must defend Silt at all costs and must not take a step back.

It can be seen that until this time, Duchway still believed that Silter would be the front line of the battle.

At this time, Duqiwei made the third mistake, which was to seriously underestimate the assault ability of the tenth battle Zhuo Ge.

Strictly speaking, this is not Duchwie's problem either.

After the Republic Army defeated Kaval by air assault, Duchway urgently contacted Stark and asked him to understand the deployment of the Republic Army's aviation force, especially the deployment of the tactical transport aircraft fleet. On the morning of the 3rd, he provided a very important piece of information, that is, the tactical transport aircraft fleet of the 10th combat unit is still being transferred, and it is impossible to play a big role before the 4th. In other words, before the 4th, the 10th combat unit still had to maneuver on the ground, and it is impossible to cross the US defense line like the air assault unit.

It was this piece of information that made Du Qiwei reduce his fear of police.

Of course, there are also geographical factors.

Silt was in the upper reaches of the Tigris River. Because Turkey had no oil, insufficient coal, and advanced technology, many water conservancy power stations were built in the early 1900s, many of which were in the plateau valleys of the upper 1900s. In other words, almost all man-made lakes on the Tigris River. These reservoirs are undoubtedly natural barriers for ground attacking troops, and this inverted natural barrier is between the tenth battle single and the military centers such as Silt, Batmann, and Diyabaker.

Any ground force will bring engineering troops when launching an attack, but engineering bridges can only be used on rivers. On reservoirs with widths calculated in kilometers, bridges are useless. If you want to cross the reservoirs on the Tigris River, you must use boats. Although the Republic Army has enough boats and boats that can be borrowed from the Marines even if they do not have one, these boats and boats are all in China and must rely on air transport. In other words, when the air transport power is seriously insufficient, the tenth combat unit must find another way.

It is precisely because Du Qiwei firmly believed that Pei Chengyi would attack Silter.

In fact, Duchwie's judgment is not wrong.

The tenth combat unit did not have enough boats and received timely support. Although it could use the rubber boats to reach the north bank of the reservoir, all heavy equipment and most vehicles could not cross the reservoir, and the military centers on the north bank could not pose a threat.

The question is, do I have to take a boat to cross the reservoir?

When formulating the combat plan, Pei Chengyi took this into consideration and reminded Li Dongshi. The reply given by the Army Lieutenant General was very simple. The tenth combat unit was adapted from the airborne troops. According to Li Dongshi's requirements, as long as he was provided with a vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft group that could transport thugs and battalions, he could kill Bartman.

That's why the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft group sent the guard battalion of the first combat single artillery brigade to Kaval and flew directly to Gizre and accompanied the 10th combat unit to operate.

On the night of July 3, the 10th combat unit captured Hassan Keife on the south bank of the Tigris River to Batmann.

As Li Dongshi expected, the Turkish army guarding Hassan Kayve blew up the bridge on the Tigris River before surrendering. More importantly, there were US guards across the bridge. Even if the Turkish army did not blow up the bridge, the US military would blow up the bridge after the armored troops of the 10th combat unit drove onto the bridge. Because the unmanned reconnaissance planes took photos of the US military placing bombs on the bridge, Li Dongshi did not think about crossing the Tigris River from the bridge.

To stabilize the situation, Li Dongshi asked the artillery troops left behind to suppress the US military on the other side, but organized an empty car assault.

It has to be admitted that Han Yiwu’s airlift ability is indeed powerful.

When transporting infantry, "Chou can send about multiple soldiers in one platoon at a time. If the main combat equipment is transported by hanging, the thugs can send troops equivalent to a battalion within the time. In this way, even if the entire combat brigade is sent, it will only take about 3 hours. Including the troops following some of the support brigades, the entire air operation will only take at most an hour, that is, it will end before dawn.

In the early morning of July 4, all the main forces of the European Legion passed by Batmann.

At this time, the 10th combat unit had just taken Hassan Kayve.

With the arrival of artillery fire, the US military discovered that the main force of the Republic Army appeared on the south bank of the Tigris River south of Batmann.

When Du Qiwei received the news, the tenth combat unit had already crossed the river.

Seeing the live video sent back by the drone, Du Qiwei almost jumped up.

The entire main force of the combat unit appeared less than a thousand meters away from Bateman, and was crossing the Tigris River at an extremely fast speed. Idiots could guess what this army wanted to do, and Du Qiwei could also think of what Pei Chengyi wanted to do.

After defeating Bartman, the main force of the European Legion will fall into the encirclement again.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi’s purpose is not to confine a battlefield, but to kill all the US troops in the mobile warfare.

This time, Duchiwei did not hesitate and immediately ordered the main force of the European Legion to return to Batmann.

The problem is that before that, Duqiwei's order was to rush to Silter at full speed. This main US military force with more than 10,000 troops placed armored forces at the forefront, followed by engineering troops, followed by infantry, and finally by heavy troops. So when Duqiwei issued the order to return to Batman, the closest to Batman was the logistical support force with no combat effectiveness, and the truly combat-capable armored force was about to arrive at Silter.

Mu Yong doubted that the US military had no time to return to Batman.

Of course, the abnormal actions of the US military immediately attracted the attention of Pei Chengyi and Xi Chenhao.

As the front line commander, Li Dongshi would not take it lightly. He found that the armored cluster of the main force of the US military turned, and the infantry following behind began to build a defense line, while the logistics support troops were accelerating. Li Dongshi concluded that the US military would return to Bateman as quickly as possible.

Like Du Qiwei's choice, Pei Chengyi did not think of the second possibility.

Before he issued an order to rush towards Bateman at full speed in the tenth battle, Li Dongshi had already issued the same order to the first two battalions crossing the river.

Obviously, it was a less fair contest.

The 2 battalions of the tenth combat unit can only run back a thousand meters when they are thugs. Although Bartman has a Turkish army of not small size, this is a logistics support force.

Even the main force of the Turkish army cannot stop the Republic Army. Can we still rely on the logistics forces?

Of course, this Turkish army is not useless.

Anyway, before the 10th combat unit's assault troops arrived, they had plenty of time to destroy all the combat supplies stockpiled in Batmann.

Destroying combat supplies was also the last order issued by Du Qiwei to this Turkish army.
Chapter completed!
