The decisive battle in the Kong Line is concentrated in two directions. It is to rescue the eighth battle and the fifth combat units of Juech and Osmani. The second is to attack Malatia. Relatively speaking, because Malatia is the main transportation hub center connecting southern Turkey and central regions, attacking Malatia is more critical, and it is even related to whether the war can be ended in favorable circumstances.

During the planning, Pei Chengyi thought about sending the seventh combat unit that finally arrived on the battlefield to Diyabakir to participate in the combat operation to attack Malatia, and discussed with Su Jinhui and received the support of the commander of the southern front. The reason why Pei Chengyi made this decision was very simple, that is, the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit had been fighting for half a month, and the state of the troops had declined, and the officers and soldiers urgently needed a long rest. Because Shang Xueyun's seventh combat single was also

It is adapted from the airborne troops and is an all-round combat unit with both offense and defense. Therefore, according to Pei Chengyi's idea, combined with the armored assault power of the first combat unit and the low-altitude assault ability of the tenth combat unit, the seventh combat unit can easily tear open the defense line of the US-Turkey coalition forces. With the approximately 10,000-liang Iranian army participating in the war, it will definitely be able to capture Malatia within a few days, that is, to occupy this crucial city before the United States and Türkiye requested a ceasefire negotiation.

The problem is that it is not Pei Chengyi who dominates the northern front, but Yuan Chenhao.

After Pei Chengyi proposed to send the Seventh Battle alone, Yuan Chenhao refused without thinking and promised to complete the combat mission of capturing Malatia without increasing troops. Although Yuan Chenhao proposed a condition, that is, to fully ensure the combat supply of the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit, especially the supply of ammunition, compared to adding one kilogram to the northern front, the combat unit was nothing to increase the logistics support level.

As before, after careful consideration, Pei Chengyi handed over the decision-making power to Yuan Chenhao and asked the front-line commanders to decide on the front-line combat operations. According to the rules, when Yuan Chenhao was in the fight against the thugs, he not only had to report the situation to Pei Chengyi at any time, but also had to submit a complete combat plan.

After getting Yuan Chenhao's combat plan, Pei Chengyi had nothing to worry about.

What Pei Chengyi did not expect was that the two main frontline troops were in good condition, especially the tenth battle single, because they received a brief rest after capturing Diyabak's killing, so the officers and soldiers were very enthusiastic about asking for battle, and morale and fighting spirit were not a problem. Stimulated by the tenth combat unit, the officers and soldiers who fought single in the first battle were also very active, but they must consider the mental state of the officers and soldiers when performing combat tasks.

The tenth combat unit can still maintain its strong combat effectiveness after guiding the enemy to fight fiercely for many days, conquering several important towns and pushing the front line for hundreds of kilometers. First of all, it is attributed to the thugs' more than a year of high-intensity combat training.

As the last combat unit of the Republic Army, the 10th battle single has been in a state of "combat readiness" since the day it was established.

After the troops were formed, they immediately went to the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest of the Republic to conduct combat training in the mountains and ridges with a radius of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. This is why, before the outbreak of this war, the 10th combat unit became the most mysterious combat unit in the Republic's Army. Because Li Dongshi was the most famous airborne soldier in the Republic and the few airborne generals promoted from ordinary soldiers, many people believe that the 10th combat unit was the only airborne unit retained by the Republic's Army.

, and it is an air assault force that can carry out low-altitude assault and aircraft landing combat missions on vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft. Of course, some people believe that the 10th combat unit is likely to be the only and extremely large special forces in the Republic Army, because Xiang Yinghui is the chief of staff of the General Staff. After him, the special forces directly commanded by the General Staff will fall into the hands of a naval general. It is necessary for him to retain a strong special forces for the Republic Army before leaving office.

Of course, among all kinds of speculations, the most eye-catching thing is the single training intensity of the tenth battle.

Thugs Over the past year, this combat unit consisting of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers has been practicing, and has been practicing in the mountains and ridges. You must know that even a newly established unit has a training cycle of only 6 months, and even an elite unit has a training cycle of no more than 2 years, giving the tenth combat unit extremely special combat capabilities.

Among other combat units, the combat brigade and the support brigade have strict division of tasks. The support brigade only performs some non-frontal combat tasks on the battlefield, and can only perform position defense tasks at most. That is to say, the support brigade will not participate in the attack. In the tenth combat unit, because the support brigade is extremely large, the three low-altitude assault battalions and three low-altitude strike battalions have hundreds of combat aircraft and approximate! The concave officers and soldiers pilots are close to the brewing staff, and the rest are ground crew members. In addition, the thugs under normal conditions are the guard battalions, "communication reconnaissance battalions are mainly responsible for combating single directly-affiliated large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft". The support battalions mainly provide medical services, communications and other non-material support tasks for the troops and the 3 future logistics battalions are mainly responsible for material support, and the total strength of the entire brigade is above the heart. In combat state, the low-altitude assault battalions and the low-altitude strike battalions will be strengthened.

The logistics battalion will be more than doubled, and the scale of the communication reconnaissance battalion and support battalion will be expanded, and the total strength of the entire brigade is likely to exceed that of the Concaodao Man. When the mining alliance was formed, the tenth combat unit obtained the height of the Army Command. The Mai Aid Brigade was organized according to combat standards and trained according to combat standards. For Li Dongshi, who was born in an airborne soldier, it is impossible to leave a unit with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the battlefield. You must know that in the Five Old Blocking Battle and the Ranchi Blocking Battle, the airborne Du Brigade where Li Dongshi was located stood at the last moment. All officers and soldiers participated in position defense wars, and there was no difference between combatants and non-combatants at all, so there was no such difference in the tenth battle single. From the day it was established, the support brigade of the tenth combat unit had to conduct combat training according to the standards of the combat brigade.

In terms of weapon equipment configuration, the support brigade is still the support brigade.

Not to mention, taking the firearms equipped for soldiers as examples, in the combat brigade, the standard equipment of an infantry assaulter is a thug to use combat pistols. In the support brigade, one-third of the officers and soldiers of other battalions are equipped with close-range self-defense weapons, and two-thirds are only equipped with self-defense pistols.

The biggest problem is not guns, but heavy equipment.

After entering the battlefield, the problem of guns was relatively easy to solve. Because Iraq produced hundreds of thousands of assault rifles that were very similar to those of the Republic Army, and used the same caliber, after the Iraqi army entered the territory to fight, the tenth combat unit could manage to obtain combat guns from the Iraqi army. The real trouble was the heavy equipment of the armored troops. Not to mention Iraq, even Iran could not provide main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles for the tenth combat unit. In modern warfare, it was difficult for infantry to complete combat missions without armored forces.

In response to this situation, when the scraping training, Li Dongshi adopted the method of "swapping people but not changing equipment", allowing the combat brigade and the officers and soldiers of the support brigade to exchange positions, so that the officers and soldiers of the support brigade could master the operation methods of main combat equipment. At that time, Li Dongshi had not thought about letting the support brigade act as the main attack force. He just hoped that when encountering fierce battles, the support brigade could fully play the role of the reserve team and complete combat tasks like the combat brigade. After arriving on the battlefield, Li Dongshi's arrangement immediately played a more important role. In the first round of assault, several of the tenth combat unit support brigade

The battalion disguised itself as the main force, and fought from Gizre all the way to Schernak. Not only did it successfully complete the feint mission, but it also unexpectedly attacked Eluch west, making the first contribution to the later capture of Silt. When attacking Batmann, the support brigade also played a particularly critical role in covering the flank defense line of the combat brigade, otherwise the combat brigade would not have been able to occupy Batmann before the main force of the US military arrived. Even in the battle to attack Diyabakir, the support brigade performed very well. In the words of some combat brigade officers and soldiers, as long as there were enough heavy equipment, the support brigade could divide the four people into a second combat brigade.

In the tenth combat unit, the significance of the support brigade is not at all the ability to perform offensive combat missions.

As a fast assault unit, the support brigade of the 10th combat unit can complete low-altitude assault missions without the support of the combat brigade. To be precise, only the heavy equipment of the combat brigade is required, and the officers and soldiers of the support brigade can launch an attack like a combat unit.

It can be said that this is Feifeng's important combat capability.

This time, Yuan Chenhao wanted to use this ability of the 10th combat unit support brigade.

In fact, before this, the individual support brigade of the 10th battle verified their strength with actions. When marching towards Maratia, Yuan Chenhao left the first combat unit on the front, and let the individual of the 10th battle be responsible for flanking, that is, to capture Baskyr and Sivrij, and block Eraz's Turkish army. The one who carried out this task was the support brigade. More importantly, after occupying Baskyr, the low-altitude assault battalion of the support brigade was dispatched at full speed, and in just an hour, half of the combat brigade's troops were sent from Diyabakir to Baskyr. In other words, before the first combat unit arrived at the offensive position, the individual of the 10th battle was ready to attack Maratia.

According to Yuan Chenhao's arrangement, the frontal attack is still the responsibility of the first combat unit.

Because the first combat unit suffered too much loss when attacking Siverek, and the officers and soldiers were not in good spirits, Yuan Chenhao did not expect this ace unit to attack the thugs in one go for more than four kilometers, break through several defense lines of the US-Turkey coalition, and become the main force in attacking Malatia. In his opinion, because the first combat unit is famous, as long as Ling Yunxiao led this unit to attack Malatia, the US-Turkey coalition would not be careless and would definitely send a leader.

Force troops come over. Considering that the first battle is an armored force that is extremely good at fighting tough battles, it is unlikely that the US-Turkey coalition forces will place their hopes on defending. They should focus on weakening the assault capabilities of the first combat unit through proactive counterattacks or even proactive attacks, and blocking the first battle individually to the south of Maratia. In this way, the US-Turkey coalition forces will have to invest enough troops in that direction, resulting in loopholes in defense in other directions.

It can be said that this is the opportunity that Yuan Chenhao tried his best to create.

The problem is that the US-Turkish coalition in Malatia is limited in its military force, and it is very likely to delay time by sticking to it.

In other words, Yuan Chenhao cannot place his hopes entirely on the first combat unit. When necessary, he must let the tenth battle chop and attack Marathi. Chenhao, who is deploying the tenth battle unit, asked Li Dongshi to send the armored troops of the combat brigade to Baskyir first.

The key is not armor assault, but how to use the low-altitude assault capabilities of the tenth combat unit.

In the combat strategy thug submitted to Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao clearly mentioned this point, that is, to give full play to the main combat capabilities of the tenth combat unit.

It was not until this time that the 10th combat unit really fought in the way it was best at.

Before attacking the US fleet, the Republic Air Force dispatched tactical aviation troops to focus on bombing the US-Turkey coalition defensive positions in the direction of Malatia. Although the main purpose of this round of bombing was to cover the combat operations of the US fleet, it also provided great help to the 10th combat unit. It should be noted that after the war began, the Republic Air Force did not provide air support for ground attacks at such a high intensity in any direction.

Thanks to this extremely fierce air strike, the tenth combat unit launched an attack.

Before the tactical fighter jets that completed the attack mission returned to Syria, the vertical take-off and landing transport fleet transporting the ground combat units of the 10th combat unit reached Yazehan on the north bank of the Tohma River, and before the Turkish army guarding the place responded, they captured the Turkish army's command, and then forced the Turkish army to surrender. About 2 hours later, another low-altitude assault unit of the 10th combat unit occupied Doansehir about a kilometer southwest of Malatia. At this point, the 10th combat unit completed the combat operation surrounding Malatia.

In the early morning of the day of the entrance, the single ground armored troops in the tenth battle crossed the Tohma River.

At this time, the vanguard of the First Combat Unit had just arrived in Singjik, about 7 meters away from Malatia. What's more, there was a thug in the Turkish army deployed in Singjik. After the attack was frustrated, the vanguard of the First Combat Unit did not continue to take risks in the attack, but stopped moving forward and planned to hand over the attack task to the main force that was about to arrive.

By this time, Xi Chenhao's deployment had achieved results.

Judging from the reality, the US-Turkey coalition forces only have two kilograms. The choice is to quickly shrink the defense line and take an active counterattack in a certain direction. The second is to let Elazze's Turkish army attack and strive to help Malatia's US-Turkey coalition forces rescue the US-Turkey coalition forces.

Because Malatia is extremely important and can even be said to be the most important strategic location in the central Turkish region. The Republican army can even march towards Ankara along the railway line. So before Duchiwei made a choice, the Chief of Staff of the Turkish National Army made a choice, that is, let Elazer's Turkish army attack westward and attack Baskyr at all costs.

For Ducheway, this is not a bad thing.

Elazze also has extremely important strategic significance and is the main gathering point of the Toros defense line. Therefore, Elazze has hundreds of thousands of local troops, even though most of them are reserve forces, some are new troops formed with recruits, and they do not have much combat effectiveness at all. However, when the US military is insufficient, it is much better to have an army to attack Baskyr than to let the tenth combat unit attack Malatia with all its affection.

Of course, the actions of the Turkish army also helped Duqiwei make the decision.

It was probably because of a premonition that the war was about to end. At that time, Duqiwei knew that the "Orenet" aircraft carrier battle group had suffered a devastating blow, so when the Chief of Staff of the Turkish National Army adjusted its deployment, Duqiwei not only did not interfere with the thugs, but also asked the US troops stationed in Malatia to concentrate their forces against the first combat unit in the south, rather than jointly encircling and suppressing the tenth combat unit in the east. From a military perspective, this was a very wrong decision. In any case, the combat brigade of the tenth combat unit was only half of the troops in the front.

Line combat, coupled with being attacked from both sides, is easier to deal with. If you can eat the tenth combat unit in one go, and then go back to deal with the first combat unit. From a political perspective, this is another very correct decision. When you are destined to lose the war, Duqiwei must leave a way out for himself. Because Duqiwei is the highest commander of the coalition forces, the Chief of Staff of the Turkish Army adjusted the deployment and mobilized the troops without authorization. Therefore, by focusing on the attack on the individual combat units in the first battle, Duqiwei can shift the responsibility to the Chief of Staff of the Turkish Army after the war.

Judging from the situation at that time, Duqiwei was indeed unable to make up for the truth.

Although military common sense tells Du Qiwei that the Republican army launched such a fierce attack, it must be overdrawing the combat effectiveness of the army. Not only will the attack not last, but it will also have a serious negative impact on the later combat operations. To put it bluntly, after the attack, the Republican army will expose a lot of flaws. However, Du Qiwei is more clear that Pei Chengyi is definitely not the kind of commander who does nothing but leave a way out. Before the seventh combat unit has come on the stage, it means that Pei Chengyi is guarding. With the combat effectiveness of the Republican army, even if it cannot continue to attack, it can stabilize its defense. In other words, Pei Chengyi's purpose is to end the battle on the northern front as soon as possible, rather than overthrowing the Turkish regime.

Such a result is an acceptable result for Duchwie.

Of course, Duqiwei did not expect that the battle in another direction almost cost him all his capital.
Chapter completed!
