Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 143 Straight to Huanglong
The supreme commanders of both sides of Liuran believed that the regret in the direction of Malatia was the final result of the northern front, but the participating troops of both sides, or the front-line commanders, had different views. In particular, Lieutenant General Han Bingbiao, the commander of the Sixth Combat Unit who encountered an unexpected accident when he arrived at the battlefield. After being arranged by Pei Chengyi to the western battlefield, Sai Bingbiao was looking for opportunities, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.
When the decisive battle plan was determined, Sai Bingbiao proposed to give up Malatia and concentrate his troops to attack Iskendren. In order to emphasize his own point of view, Sai Bingbiao put forward a reason that even Pei Chengyi could not decide. That is, after the war, whether it is to establish an independent Kurdish state in the occupied areas or to support a highly autonomous Kurdish government, he had to provide an outlet for this new regime, rather than pinning his hopes on Syria, Iraq or Iran. In addition, he had to consider how to force the US-Turkey coalition forces to admit defeat. Because Duqiwei set the coalition headquarters in Iskendren. Therefore, as long as he could occupy Iskendren, the situation would at least be out of control and ultimately forced Duqiwei to make a choice.
In fact, only the first reason is needed to make Pei Chengyi excited.
The front-line commander was not clear about the fate of the Kurds, but Pei Chengyi was very clear. Although Li Cunxun had not mentioned this extremely critical issue to him and Gu Weimin had not mentioned it to him, according to Pei Chengyi's understanding, the Republic's authorities are likely to follow the example of the United States instigating Kosovo's independence and Russia instigating the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to establish an independent Kurdish country in the occupied area, and to bind Iran, Iraq and Syria
The Kurds within gradually moved to this new country, building a strategic line of defense, or a strategic buffer zone, between Turkey and the Arab countries, thereby completely eliminating Turkey's influence on the Middle East. In this way, even if the Republican army fails to achieve a major victory on the Southern Front, it can minimize the United States' influence in the Middle East, further isolate Israel, and lay the foundation for the next solution to the Jews and Arabs.
Of course, supporting one pound is not an easy task for a new country.
For example, in the short term, this Kurdish country will definitely not be recognized by the Western world led by the United States, or even cannot be recognized by European countries such as France, Germany and Italy, and its survival and development will be very difficult. For example, when arranging the migration of Kurds in Iran, Iraq and Syria, it will definitely arouse opposition from the international community and may even be opposed by Arab countries. After all, in the long run, a country composed of Kurds alone will definitely pose a threat to the Arab world. More importantly, how to deal with other ethnic personnel in the occupied areas, especially the Turks? This is definitely a problem that can make any government feel headache, and it is a problem that can hardly be solved through military means or any other political force.
That's true, Pei Chengyi still has to consider the domestic situation.
If Wang Yuanqing lives in the capital, then the previous problems are not a problem. With Wang Yuanqing's courage, skills and reputation, not to mention Eurozo countries such as France, Germany and Italy, even the US authorities have to re-measure the serious consequences of confronting the Republic on the Kurdish issue, and the Arab countries will not talk too much about this issue. As for other ethnic personnel in the occupied areas, they may be resolved before the end of the war. You must know that in order to fulfill the promise, Wang Yuanqing not only let the Republican army fighting on the front line take action personally, but also secretly acknowledged the actions of the Bangladeshi army in West Bengal, which eventually led to about 40,000 Hindustans leaving their homes and becoming war refugees.
The problem is that it is not Wang Yuanqing who is quietly in the head of state, but Gu Weimin.
There is no doubt that Gu Weimin is much more gentle than Wang Yuanqing in foreign policy. It can even be said that he is the most "moderate" head of state in the Republic since the estimation of the country. From Gu Weimin's attitude towards this war, it can be seen that not to mention being cruel and ruthless in dealing with the Turks, even military operations must be restrained. As a soldier, Pei Chengyi has always believed that if Gu Weimin could be tougher, the situation in the Middle East would not have reached this point, at least the US authorities would not be able to make a fuss about the Middle East issue at this time.

In this way, another possibility will emerge, that is, a highly autonomous Kurdish government will emerge.
Although the Republic sends troops to Turkey on the Kurdish issue and the evidence presented was supported by the Hague War Tribunal and is in line with basic international law, the Republic's authorities have no reason to divide a sovereign state with their rights, and there is no reason to establish a Kurdish state only on the basis of military-occupied areas, because only about half of the Kurds are in Turkey, and the remaining half of the Kurdish branches are in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Armenia and other countries. If the Republic's authorities intend to help the Kurds establish a country, they should be treated equally. If the United States' position, especially the relationship between the United States and Turkey, the Republic's authorities should not risk the Kurdish issue. You should know that if the Turkish authorities refuse to accept the fact of defeat, even if the United States can put Turkey on the negotiating table by changing the leader of the Turkish state, the negotiation results will not last too long.
The Bu Asia region may even fall into a state of war and turmoil for a long time. For the Republic, when entering the Middle East, it is definitely not a wish to see Turkey that was in a war. Based on these factors, let alone the head of state is Gu Qimin, even if Wang Yuanqing is in charge of the government, he will first establish a "highly autonomous Kurdish government in the region. After the situation stabilizes for a few minutes, it will be announced that the ownership of the Kurdish autonomous region will be decided by voting at an appropriate time, and before the establishment of the Kurdish state, the Kurds in Iran, Iraq and Syria will be moved to the Kurdish autonomous region through various policies. As long as various policies and means are appropriate, the living standards of the Kurds can be significantly improved and the Kurds' international influence can be improved, then after the old year, a Kurdish country can be established in a legal way at the border between Asia Minor and the Middle East.
It can be said that this is the most "civilized" method.
Because before that, Western countries led by the United States also used the same method to dismember pro-Russian Serbia into several countries, and Russia also used a similar method to deal with Georgia, which defected to the United States. Therefore, as long as the democratic process is paid attention to, the Republic's actions in Asia Minor will not be criticized.
As Sai Biao said, no matter what, the occupied area needs an outlet.
Although during the war, the Republic can continuously transport resources to the northern battlefield through Iran, Iraq and Syria, and after the war, Iran and Syria will rely more on the Republic and will not fight against the Republic on the Kurdish issue. They will still open domestic transportation facilities to the Republic and even help the Republic transport materials to the Kurdish areas. After all, these three countries also hope to take this opportunity to solve their Kurdish issues.
But in the long run, the Republic’s authorities should definitely not pay too much attention to Iran and Syria, nor should they pin their hopes of establishing a Kurdish state to control the Fengdong region on these three countries.
Needless to say, Iran has always wanted to dominate the Gulf and the Middle East and cooperate with the Republic. It is just a pure alliance of interests. Although the Iranian authorities have long recognized the Republic's hegemony in the Middle East and accepted the indirect leadership of the Republic, as a country with strong strength, Iran will definitely have the opportunity to become a regional power, and even hope to become a quasi-magnificent country that has detrimental independence and autonomy. In other words, in terms of overall national strategy, Iran will adhere to the basic policy of alliance with the Republic. However, in specific policies, Iran will try to balance the Republic's influence in the region to realize national interests.
Iraq's problem is relatively complicated. In the words of the former Iraqi Foreign Minister, Iraq is not as small as it can be easily annexed by other countries, nor is it as big as it can lead the entire Arab world. Among many Arab countries, Iraq's comprehensive national strength is second only to Egypt, Sudan and Saudi Arabia, surpassing Libya, Syria and the United Arab Emirates. Although due to the continuous war of thugs for more than 0 years, Iraq's national strength has long plummeted and has to rely on the aid of the Republic, in the long run, even if Iraq does not have the ambition to dominate the Gulf and the Middle East, it is even more unlikely to have the dream of becoming a regional power, and the Iraqi authorities also
They will actively seek appropriate national status to ensure their influence in the Arab world. To put it bluntly, on the main issues of the Arab world, as long as the Republic continues to adhere to its current position and actively supports the Arab world to become a unified country, Iraq will actively support the Republic and become the most important ally of the Republic in the Gulf region and even the entire Middle East. However, while supporting the Republic, Iraq will also pursue national interests and will bargain with the Republic on some minor issues. There is no doubt that helping the Kurds establish a country is both a good thing and a good thing that can make profits for Iraq.
The situation in Syria during the day is similar to that of Iraq, but its comprehensive national strength is not as good as that of Iraq, so it is more pragmatic on specific issues. More importantly, affected by the Golan Heights issue, Syria will not only actively support the reunification of the Arab world in the short term, but will also actively cooperate with the Republic on the Middle East issue. The problem is that Syria's basic conditions are not ideal enough and it is difficult for the Republic to become the base camp of the Middle East.
Taking these factors into consideration, Pei Chengyi has to make long-term plans.
In fact, when the Fifth Fighter and the Eighth Fighter were allowed to open a new front in the direction of Iskendren, Pei Chengyi never thought about entering Ankara from here. As the most Chinese general after the founding of the Republic, Pei Chengyi could not have known the difficulty of entering Ankara, nor could he not know how much disaster would arise. In a sense, Pei Chengyi emphasized the importance of entering Ankara before the outbreak of the war, and even placed the Fifth Fighter and the Eighth Fighter on the Northern Front in the name of marching into Ankara in the early stages of the war, just to improve the status of the Northern Front, and told the soldiers on the Southern Front, including Su Jinhui that the Northern Front was the main battlefield. Of course, this also played a role in alerting the front-line commanders on the Northern Front, making them pay close attention to combat operations.
In general, Pei Chengyi also had the idea of Iskendron.
It was just that the performance of the fifth and eighth combat units, or the rapid reaction of the US military, exceeded Pei Chengyi's expectations, forced him to give up the idea of marching into Iskendron and turn his focus to Marathia, striving to end the war through a victory in the middle of the front.
It can be said that the US Army's 2nd Armored Division and 4th Infantry Division have changed the course of the war. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan and 84, please log in to read.
Judging from the entire war, the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division in the direction of Iskendron would definitely be worthy of their ace title. To put it bluntly, if the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division had not raided the "City of Iyuan" and cut off the logistics supply of the eighth combat unit and the fifth combat unit." The eighth combat unit returned to defend Bahce, and the fifth combat unit defended Ottomaniye, probably before the old days, the battle on the northern front would have been a victory or defeat, and the US-Turkish coalition would not even have the chance to fight the Republican army in the middle of the front.
Sai Bingbiao's proposal to attack Iskendron is probably related to Pei Chengyi's previous deployment.
Mu Yong doubted that Pei Chengyi attached great importance to Han Bianbiao's opinion. The problem is that Pei Chengyi must consider the arrangement of troops from the perspective of the entire battle situation. Yuan Chenhao did not ask for support from the seventh combat unit, not that he had absolute confidence in the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit, but that he needed this combat unit more in other directions. Obviously, this jin, "other directions are definitely not the western battlefield of the northern front, but the southern front. It can be said that this is where Yuan Chenhao succeeded. While staring at the eastern battlefield of the northern front, he was still paying attention to the battle on the southern front.
Fight. Although the Republican army is inevitable to win on the northern front, no one can guarantee that it can win on the southern front. Or it is undefeated to the US-Israeli coalition. If the victory on the northern front is obtained at the cost of losing the southern front, then this victory will become worthless. In fact, from the beginning, Pei Chengyi was avoiding this situation. In this way, regardless of whether Pei Chengyi was willing or not, after Yuan Chenhao expressed that he could win with his existing troops, he had to send the Seventh Battle to Syria individually and prepare for the full attack of the US-Israeli coalition on the southern front.
In other words, the sixth combat unit cannot be supported.
More importantly, the first task of the sixth combat unit is not to attack Iskendron, but to go to Bahce to rescue the eighth combat unit, and then go to assist the fifth combat in capturing Ottomaniye alone. If the war is not over by this time, Sebbeubi can lead his army to attack Iskendron.
Can a miracle be created for a force that has just entered the battlefield and has just been baptized by the flood?
Before the miracle was born, I am afraid no one believed that General Sai Biao from the Sew Army could lead this combat unit adapted from the heavy armored army to create miracles like airborne troops. But after the miracle was born, no one doubted the strength of this combat unit anymore.
In the old night, after the attack began, Han Bingbiao only sent support to Bakhche.
In the words of the commander of the Support Brigade Brigade, Ma Weiwen, the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division of the US Army were unable to attack Bahce for a long time. They had become exhausted soldiers. If the Support Brigade could not attack Bahce in one breath and rescue the trapped eighth combat individual, then they would not be worthy of the heavy armored army.
Of course, the support brigade's mission is not only Bachche, but also responsible for opening up the supply line to Ottomaniye.
The main force of the sixth combat unit, that is, the combat brigade, did not go north from Gaziantep along the expressway, but went westward and rushed towards Israhiye. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanao and 8 Si, please log in to read.
It can be said that this offensive route is very surprising.
Not to mention anything else, even Duchiwei did not expect that the combat brigade of the Sixth Combat Unit would attack Israhiye.
You should know that according to common sense, the sixth battle should be single-shot Bahce, then attack Ottomaniye, and finally went south to attack Iskendren. In this way, it can not only help two combats to rescue them, but also allow the eighth combat unit and the fifth combat unit to be responsible for logistics support, and can also avoid the defense line of the US-Turkey coalition in the Gawuer Mountains. The only flaw is that it extends the attack distance by about kilometers. Strictly speaking, this is not a problem, because for an armored unit, it is only a few kilometers to attack the 0-kilometer meter without any obstacles. It is only a matter of hours. Using the cover provided by the eighth combat unit and the fifth combat unit can definitely make up for the losses in these hours.
This is true that the U.S.-Turkish coalition of Israhiye was not ready for combat at all.
Before the entrance was even in the early morning of the day, the vanguard of the combat brigade of the Sixth Combat Unit broke through the outer defense line of the US-Turkish coalition in Israhiye. What was even more incredible happened at this time. The vanguard of the breakthrough did not expand the breakthrough point to the two wings, nor even encircled the US-Turkish troops behind the defense line, but continued to advance westward, crossing the US-Turkish coalition's defense line before the main force arrived and entered the Gawuer Mountains.
Because the main force followed quickly, the US-Turkey coalition had no time to stop the vanguard of the high-speed assault.
At this moment, the US-Turkey coalition forces sounded the alarm.
In the early morning of the trough, the individual vanguards of the sixth battle arrived at Yakadzek, west of the Gawur Mountains, and the troops pointed directly to Iskendron in the south. More importantly, the thugs occupied Klekhan in the south of the Gawur Mountains and took the siege of Iskendron.
Although Duqiwei was reluctant, at around 3 a.m. at the mouth of the slightest, he had to board a transport plane to Antalya accompanied by the guards. In other words, before dawn of the mouth of the slightest, the US-Turkey coalition began to move the headquarters to Antalya.
