Six combat units appeared in Gaziantep, which completely changed the heart of the northern front.

It can be said that the republic army's floating style of play made the US military very uncomfortable, and even made Duchewei feel helpless.

In fact, if you put aside the superficial phenomenon, you can find that the focus of the Republic's army's offensive is still on Siverek

Because the support force and combat materials did not follow the ground troops to reach Gaziantep, the sixth combat unit could not enter the battle as soon as possible, so the greatest significance of the combat unit's appearance on the western battlefield was to force the two main divisions of the US military that were besieging Bahce, leaving some troops to guard against threats from the south. In fact, this fundamentally made Duchwie dispel the idea of ​​concentrating his efforts to annihilate the eighth combat unit, at least making him think that it would be impossible to annihilate the troops entrenched in Bahce before the decisive battle broke out.

Calm down and Du Qiwei immediately discovered that all Pei Chengyi's purpose was to capture the recommended Werek as soon as possible.

During the day and night, the vanguard of the First Combat Unit arrived in Siverek.

At this time, Duqiwei had ordered the 7th Infantry Division and the Strategic Division to stop breaking through and build a defensive position in Karajada Town, about a kilometer east of Siverek. In other words, Duqiwei planned to sacrifice the remaining troops of these two divisions to gain more opportunities for Siverek's defenders. It is precisely because of this that the vanguard of the first combat unit did not rashly attack Siverek, but took the initiative to retreat after several tentative attacks.

This night, the US military completed an unprecedented feat.

According to the combat report of the US Air Force Air Transport Command, from day to night to early morning, eight strategic transport aircraft and slackened thugs and tactical transport aircraft were dispatched. They transported the famous officers and soldiers of the Swerek, secret battle tanks, expanded infantry fighting vehicles, military vehicles of Bangyu Taiwan, and a total of gravel and tons of various combat materials. During the last hours of air transport, the Air Transport Commander flew a total of 100 million. Because the army's northern invasion did not belong to the US Air Force, the Air Transport Commander was in statistics.

The Ministry did not mention the contribution made by the North Infrastructure. According to the records of the US Army Air Force, several of the geese participated in the feast operation that night. After flying thousands of flights, the materials transported alone exceeded those of Liantun. In other words, in the air freight list counted by the Air Force, most of the materials and some of the personnel and equipment were responsible for the transport aircraft of the Army Air Force. In fact, in the situation at that time, if the Air Force was completely relied on, it would not be possible to transport personnel equivalent to half of the division within an old hour, and tens of thousands of tons of combat supplies.

Even measured by the standards of the Republican army, this is a feat.

It was this air freight that changed the situation in Sieverek.

Unfortunately, the US military's air transport was not greatly affected.

First of all, Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao and others did not expect that Duqi will dispatch hundreds of transport aircraft to send most of the officers and soldiers and heavy equipment of the 2nd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army and the Old Infantry Division in Nables, as well as more than 20,000 tons of supplies hoarded in Antalya to Siverek. You should know that this super-large air operation is very harmful to the "energy". After completing this task, the US military's transport aircraft group needs to be grounded at least 2 paddles. Secondly, before air transport, Siverek's defense is very weak, and Duqirek is also strengthening the strategic defense line on the periphery. Especially in the direction of Maratia. The US-Turkey coalition has very big actions, so many people believe that the US military will not defend Siverek to the death.

Ke. He just hopes to delay the progress of the Republic's army in Siverek and gain enough time to strengthen the strategic defense line. Finally, the Republic's army's support forces are all on the job. The first combat unit and the tenth combat combat individual artillery brigade are providing artillery support to the troops attacking Cermick. The sixth combat unit's artillery brigade is on his way to Syria, the air force is busy seizing air supremacy, and the navy is supporting the combat troops on the southern front. The low-altitude attack aircraft group of the land aviation experienced the previous battle and is trying to replenish the lost forces, so when the US military conducts strategic air transport, neither Pei Chengyi nor Yuan Chenhao can stop it, or even interfere.

Of course, the situation on the battlefield is still unfavorable to the US military.

When the 2nd Infantry Division and the officers and soldiers of the Old Infantry Division arrived in Siverek, a main force of the First Combat Unit was attacking Chermek, and before dawn, they captured this military center with only a few thousand residents but about a thug of the ten thousand Tu army.

It can be said that this was the biggest loss for the US military that night.

Although Chermik is in the northeast of Sieverek, not in the northwest of Malatia, so throwing away this town has no great impact on the US military's guard against Sieverek, Chermik is like the south of the Torros Mountains. Not only are there several small roads passing through the mountainous areas and less than a thousand meters away from Elgani, but Elgani is an important transit station for roads and railways that run across the Torros Mountains. After the fall of Diyabaker, the Turkish army blew up the dam of the Deveyabaker Reservoir. The floods destroyed the railway bridge and road bridge from Diyabaker to Elgani, and turned the north of Diyabaker into a terrible country. Therefore, if the Republic's army wants to cross the Torros Mountains, they have to bypass the Deveyabaker Reservoir and have to use the trek of the Deveyabaker Reservoir to cross the Torros Mountains.

In other words, the Republic's Army occupied Chermek in preparation for crossing the Thoros Mountains.

Obviously, this is what Duchway wants the least to happen.

Regardless of whether Pei Chengyi intends to bypass Siwerek, the Republic's Army's occupation of Chermek is equivalent to giving Pei Chengyi a new choice. It is also equivalent to inserting a knife on the US military's defense line, allowing Duchewei to leave a move when he is fully defending Siwerek.

Obviously, this is a very clever tactical arrangement.

In fact, attacking Chermick was not Pei Chengyi's idea, and there was no need to let the joint commander come to raid the thugs. Such detailed tactical actions. According to the report submitted by Yuan Chenhao after the war, the main cegeman in this operation was Ling Yunxiao. Although some people think that this was Yuan Chenhao helping Ling Yunxiao get promotion, judging from the situation at that time, this may indeed be a combat operation planned by Ling Yunxiao. You must know that during the Peninsula War, Ling Yunxiao planned the combat operation attack on Qingzhou, which provided great help for the three troops to attack Seoul. When it was necessary to attack Siweirek, Ling Yunxiao had reason to open a breakthrough on the US flank defense line and provide assistance for the frontal attack.

On the morning of the "On the morning of the day, Duqiwei sent the four officers and soldiers of the Old Infantry Division to Malatia, and airlifted a batch of engineering equipment and engineering materials for the Turkish army stationed in Elazze, and asked the Turkish army to do all their efforts to turn Elazze into an unbreakable fortress.

From this we can see that Duqiwei has indeed left a hand.

Of course, this failed to prevent the First Combat Unit from capturing Karajada on the old morning and annihilated the remnants of the 7th Infantry Division and the Dikou Strategic Division.

It can be said that the 7th Infantry Division and the Strategic Division were both victims of this war.

Relatively speaking, the sacrifice of the 1st Strategic Division was almost worthless. As a light force, the 1st Strategy Division was only suitable for fighting against weak enemies and could not survive in the battle of strong confrontation. Later, even Duqiwei had to admit that it was his wrong deployment that made many officers and soldiers of the 1st Strategic Division make worthless sacrifices, and left many officers and soldiers of the 1st Strategic Division with permanent pain. It was this battle that made the US Army realize the shortcomings in equipment development.

After thinking about the pain, the US Army quickly adjusted its development strategy and successfully convinced the US Congress and the Pentagon to obtain sufficient funds for dozens of important projects and lay the foundation for the transformation of the US Army. From this perspective, the sacrifice of the 1st Strategic Division was not worthless. In Blücher's words, the blood shed on the battlefield awakened the members of Congress who were still immersed in the dream of a great country, as well as the Pentagon officials who still believed that they could win the war without the army.

With Karajada losing, Siverek is exposed to the first battle single.

In the afternoon of the same day, the main force of the First Combat Unit arrived outside Severek and completed the siege of Severek before dark.

At this time, the battle in the other two directions also began.

The first one to dispatch was the sixth combat unit that had just been assembled in Gaziantep.

After receiving about 3 days of combat supplies, the combat brigade of the Sixth Combat Unit did not go north, but quickly advanced eastward. It attacked Nizip that night and sent a thug to Zhenbirejik. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanao plus 84, please log in to read

It was only at this time that Du Qiwei realized the great significance of the Sixth Combat Unit.

The eighth battle single and the fifth combat unit were not effective in combating the north. One of the main reasons was that logistics support was continued.

In the battle in the western suburbs of Ottomaniye, the fifth battle consumed a large amount of combat supplies, but it was not able to defeat the Ottomaniye, whose defense had been hollowed out in one fell swoop. If the fifth battle had enough supplies at that time, the situation would have changed long ago. It was precisely because the logistics support was too difficult that the eighth battle had to stay behind and protect the logistics support line for the fifth battle.

There is only one reason for the difficulty of logistics support, that is, from Aleppo to Bakhche in Syria, not only the entire journey is transported by road, but also half of the journey is mountainous highways! The solution is also very simple, that is, to capture Nizip, open up the railway line from Aleppo to Gaziantep, and then use the expressway from Bakhche and Ottomaniy in Gaziantep to transport supplies. In this way, without adding a transport convoy, the logistics support can be increased by more than three times. If the transportation force is properly allocated, the logistics support can even be increased by twice.

The problem is, this simple method is not that easy to time.

Before the sixth battle arrived alone, Pei Chengyi had no extra troops. The fifth combat unit and the eighth combat unit had to deal with two main divisions of the US military, as well as a large number of regular troops of the Turkish National Army. All Syrian combat troops were sent to the southern front, and only the logistics support troops were responsible for transporting combat supplies. Although Nizip's defenders were all Turkish National Army, and there were only more than 10,000 thugs, but without suitable troops, the Republic's army could not open up this crucial railway transportation line.

When the sixth combat unit arrived, the situation changed immediately.

There is no doubt that Nizip's Turkish army would not last long. According to Duchiwei's estimate, it would be a miracle that the Turkish infantry division could last until dawn in the past.

After occupying Nizip, the first unit will definitely follow the highway to go west and rescue the eighth combat unit?

Obviously, in front of this new force, the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division of the US Army have no chance of winning. If we consider the individual combat effectiveness of the eighth combat, it would be a blessing that the two US military divisions were not surrounded by counter-encirclement.

In desperation, Du Qiwei adjusted the battle between the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division in the old night.

Serving.

At this moment, a US military adviser proposed a pound. A very bold suggestion was to blow up the dam of the Ataturk Reservoir and use floods to block the progress of the Republic's army.

.

Ataturk Reservoir is the largest reservoir in the upper reaches of the Euphrates River, and is also the largest comprehensive water conservancy project in southeastern Turkey. That is, the reservoir is not only responsible for supplying water to many nearby cities, but also providing irrigation water for tens of millions of acres of fertile fields nearby. It is also the largest hydropower station in the region. If the reservoir volume is based on the capacity of the reservoir, it is also the largest reservoir in Turkey. Nizip is located downstream of the reservoir. A section of the railway from Aleppo to Gaziantep is about a kilometer long on the banks of the Euphrates River. More importantly, the Middle East Railway must pass through the Euphrates River. That is to say, as long as the dam of the reservoir is blown up and billions of tons of water in the reservoir are released, it can destroy all artificial facilities including railway bridges and railway lines along the Euphrates River.

Because millions of acres of fertile land and millions of people's homes will also be destroyed, and it will even pose a threat to northern Syria. So this is not a decision that Duqiwei can make.

The problem is that this is indeed a number of ways to stop the progress of the Republic's army.

You should know that just before the thug, the Turkish army blew up a dam on the Tigris River and used floods to block the Republic's army's pace from Diyabakir north. If the law could be done, it would not only prevent the Republic's army from transporting supplies to the combat troops on the battlefield to the west, but it would even be possible to "annihilate" the sixth combat unit in one fell swoop, destroy the morale of the Republic's army, and lay the foundation for annihilation of the eighth combat unit and the fifth combat unit.

Imagine if three combat units can be killed in one go, will the US military be far away from victory?

There is no doubt that this temptation is too great.

It can be said that before asking Mrs. Lobring, Duchway had made up his mind. However, as a general who served as the Minister of Defense and Security Advisor, Duchway understood a truth very well that before taking "the final action, the greatest effort must be made, at least to make others think that he has made the greatest effort.

That's why Duchiway was not in a hurry to discuss this issue.

In fact, the operation of the 10th combat unit that night provided the most powerful reason for Duchway to convince Mrs. Lobrin and the Turkish president.

Before the sixth combat unit surrounded Nizip, the main force of the tenth combat unit left Diyabakir. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 84, please log in to read

In total contrary to Duchiwei's previous expectations, this ace force did not go north to attack Malatia, but went south at the fastest marching speed, reached Mazedae, north of Mardin, and then turned westward, and rushed to Chanle Ulfa, south of Ataturk Reservoir at an extremely fast speed. This is also the last provincial capital and military heavyweight in southern Turkey that is still under the control of the Turkish army.

.

When the sixth combat unit arrived at Gaziantep, Duchiwei knew that the tenth combat unit would not go north.

Standing in Pei Chengyi's position, it is more important to stabilize the rear than going north to expand the front line. Previously, Du Qiwei believed that Pei Chengyi would let the Sixth Battle alone move in the south, one to sweep the southern part of Turkey, the other to warm up the combat force that had just entered the battlefield, and the third to share the burden of the main force. Obviously, Du Qiwei underestimated the strength of the Sixth Battle alone and overestimated Pei Chengyi's ambitions.

The problem is that Duqiwei did not underestimate the strength of the 10th combat unit.

According to his speculation, the 10th combat unit would definitely be able to occupy Chanel Ulf before dark in the past.

Because both the Fourth and the Vomit were confirmed. The eighth combat unit of the Republic Army, the Seventh combat unit, is likely to arrive on the battlefield in the old days and be able to enter the battle at the latest. Therefore, Du Qiwei had reason to believe that Pei Chengyi would focus on stabilizing the battlefield before the old days, and would only launch a general attack until the seventh combat unit arrived. In this way, it would not be strange if the tenth combat unit attacked Shanle Ulfa.

There is no doubt that the situation is extremely unfavorable to the US military.

With the loss of Shanle Ulfa, and the sixth combat unit went to Bahche to rescue the siege, the fifth combat unit launched a counterattack in Osmani, and the initiative of the entire northern front would fall into Pei Chengyi. At the latest day, Pei Chengyi would have enough troops to launch a large-scale strategic decisive battle on the northern front. There is no doubt that by that time, the US military would not even prepare for the decisive battle, let alone win.

If the decisive battle has to be delayed, we have to find ways to divide Pei Chengyi's troops or consume his troops.

Because the US-Turkey coalition has already contracted its defense line, it is very difficult for Pei Chengyi to divide his troops, so he can only find ways to consume the combat troops of the Republic Army. Fighting hard on the battlefield will definitely not work, otherwise the war will not be the way it is. There is only the only option, that is, to use natural forces that no one can resist to attack the Republic Army and eliminate the vitality of the Republic Army!
