In the second quarter of the "military restriction negotiations" in Ruishi, the second quarter of the winter of the year was that only one country's army had no major progress on the mainland battlefield and the Middle East battlefield. Correspondingly, the SAIC Group coalition led by the United States did not make much achievements in these two battlefields.

Relatively speaking, the stalemate on the ground battlefield is more beneficial than disadvantages in the face of the Republic.

Before the deadlock, the Republic's Army had already achieved a decisive victory on the mainland battlefield. That is, it occupied Tula, south of Moscow and Ryazan, southeast of Moscow, surrounded Vladimir, east of Yaroslavl, northeast of the island, and opened the door to march into Moscow. Although during the stalemate, the Russian army desperately strengthened Moscow's peripheral defense line and even armed millions of citizens, with limited room for trapping and no strategic maneuver, the Russian army's defense deployment in Moscow was more or less struggled before death. Even according to the optimistic estimates of the Russian army, as long as the deadlock is broken, the Republic's army will launch an attack again, and the Russian army will hold on in Moscow for up to 3 months. Of course, according to Yuan Chenhao and Su Jinhui's estimates, after launching another attack, Moscow can be captured within a month.

It is undeniable that the Russian army's active defensive deployment will definitely cause trouble to the Republican army.

The problem is that when it hits the suburbs of Moscow, the biggest trouble the Republic Army faces is not the Russian army that resists stubbornly on the offensive route, but the fatigue and war-weariness brought by the continuous battle. You should know that by the end of the first quarter of the year, most of the main forces of the Republic Army on the mainland battlefield stayed on the front line for a full month, and some even exceeded the old months. The officers and soldiers were generally tired and war-weariness was very obvious. Although there has not been a small abandonment, no one is a deserter. However, high-intensity battles continue. If the officers and soldiers cannot be given a proper rest opportunity, problems will arise sooner or later.

It can be said that letting the troops take a breath at this time is also a good choice.

Affected by this, starting from April of the year, the main task of the Republic Army was to adjust the deployment of troops, that is, to rotate the front-line combat troops to the rear for rest, just like the ninth combat unit, the tenth combat unit, the seventh combat unit, and the eighth combat position, which participated in the war after the outbreak of the war and had been fighting on the front line, were transferred back to the country, and most officers and soldiers received a month to two months of family leave.

Of course, the troops also made major adjustments to their equipment during the resumption.

Take the tenth combat unit as an example. During the rest period of the rank month, not only did all heavy main combat equipment be replaced, but all individual equipment were replaced, basically all from the inside out. Although after the vacation, it is necessary to spend the same time as the vacation for the officers and soldiers to practice adaptively, compared with the benefits brought by this, this time is nothing. Based on the subsequent performance of the tenth combat unit, it can be roughly determined that the combat effectiveness after the change of uniforms has been at least doubled, and the fighting enthusiasm of officers and soldiers has been significantly improved.

It can be said that for a world-class war, this kind of rest for several months is a very rare opportunity.

Relatively speaking, the officers and soldiers of the Republic's army on the battlefield in the Middle East were not so lucky.

Although during the "military restriction negotiations, the SITO Group coalition forces, which had already advanced the front to the Mesopotamian River Basin, took this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive rest and did not continue to move forward, the US and Israeli troops were given priority rest and the Turkish army, as well as the pseudo-Syrian and pseudo-Iraq troops supported by the United States and Israel, did not conduct large-scale rest and recuperation.

More importantly, the Republic and the United States have reached a tacit understanding on whether to use weapons of mass destruction. As long as they do not hit the local area, Israel will not use weapons of mass destruction in the war. Therefore, when the SITO coalition forces attacked and moved to defense, the intensive coalition forces led by the Republic did not stop, but followed the trend and turned to offense, and launched a full-scale counterattack.

It is undeniable that the mutual influence between the two land and the front lines is much greater than that between the land battlefield and the marine battlefield.

In any case, the mainland battlefield was still the main battlefield of the Republic's Army, affected by strategic deployment. The Middle East battlefield was still a secondary battlefield at that time. Or a battlefield dominated by strategic defense.

Affected by this, when reinforcements were needed on the Middle East battlefield most, the Republic Army was busy replacing ground troops on the mainland battlefield without sending precious troops to the Middle East battlefield. At that time, Li Dongshi received the order to carry out a limited counterattack on the basis of a stable defense line, rather than a comprehensive strategic counterattack.

It can be seen that the counterattack on the Middle East battlefield was not very smooth from the beginning, and it can even be said that it would not be very smooth.

Fortunately, Li Dongshi was originally a commander who was good at fighting defensive warfare and defensive counterattack warfare. Although his troops were very limited and the front line was too long, under the command of this general who was born in an airborne army, the intensive coalition, with the six combat units of the Republic Army as the core, still launched a counterattack on the entire front, and fought vigorously, even forcing the US and Israeli troops to end the rest early and return to the battlefield at the end of the third quarter of Han Dynasty.

From a long-term impact, the biggest fruit of this round of counterattack is that the US and Israeli forces are unable to rest as planned.

Regardless of how large the army expands, in an army with a long tradition, the number of real main combat units is very limited. Moreover, the ace troops can be traced back to history. For example, the predecessor of the Tenth Combat Unit of the Republic Army was the famous Airborne Garrison, and the predecessor of the Airborne Garrison was the Dikou Column of the Nakano. Without these history, the tenth Combat Unit could not have become the ace troops of the Republic Army. It is precisely because of this that in this war, the ace troops of the Republic Army were only the old main combat units and the old preparatory combat units. Even if these combat units developed greatly during the war into a combat group equivalent to a group army, or even a combat group equivalent to a group army group, their basic appearance did not change much, that is, the main force is still the main force, and the ace is still the ace.

Like the Republic Army, the US Army and the Israeli Army also have many ace troops, and these ace troops are also the absolute main force during the war. Before the war broke out, the US Army had "a main force division in the process. The main force divisions of this main force developed into army and army group during the war. The scale of the Israeli Army was much smaller, with only 6 main combat brigades, and these brigades also expanded to varying degrees during the war. Compared with the troops formed during the war, the Qi Zhengfengli troops were much higher, and they were well-deserved absolute main force on any battlefield.

Objectively speaking, war consumes troops, but fights the main force.

It can be said that there is a main force on any front. If there is no main force, there is no such thing as a front. In this way, if you want to win on a certain front, you have to find ways to defeat the opponent's main force. The best way to consume the main force is to prevent them from resting and use up all experienced combat personnel in succession of battles, which will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness and even lose the ability to fight.

The Republic's Army's counterattack on the Middle East battlefield had such an effect.

Although the Middle East War started months later than the Mainland War, and the United States has won over Israel and Turkey from the beginning and has invested hundreds of thousands of troops, the offensive actions of the SAIC Group coalition were not smooth, let alone smooth. The main force not only suffered serious losses, but the morale of the officers and soldiers was also affected. Judging from the situation in April of Han, the US military and Israeli troops on the Middle East battlefield need more rest than the Republic Army on the Mainland battlefield, and

Sufficient rest and rest. To this end, the United States spent a lot of money to build the largest military recuperation center in Malta, in the central Mediterranean, which was able to receive 00,000 officers and soldiers at the same time, and also spent money to rent Menorca, the Balearic Islands from Spain, and opened several recuperation places on the island that specialize in providing services to soldiers. According to the US military's plan, the rest and rest work will continue until the end of the year, allowing all the old main divisions on the battlefield in the Middle East to be fully rested.

The reality is that the rest and rest work did not last until the end of the year.

Starting from the 6th issue of Yuzha, the coalition forces of the intensive group launched a counterattack on the Middle East battlefield. The main force was still the 6 combat units of the Republic Army. At that time, the Republic sent four combat units to the Middle East to supplement the troops, but these troops were disbanded by Li Dongshi to supplement and strengthen the combat units. The two Iraqi troops and the Syrian troops in exile to Iraq were provided, while the Kurdistan armed forces were responsible for guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. It seemed that the counterattack was launched on the entire front, with no point in point. In fact, Li Dongshi chose the key counterattack direction from the beginning, and the place where the Republic's army was located was the main battlefield.

At that time, the main counterattack directions of the Republic's army were Deirzur in Syria and Mosul in Iraq.

The reason for choosing these two counterattack locations is also very simple. Before the counterattack began, the front line was basically maintained from Maiyabakr in the upper reaches of the Tigris River to Kamishli in the upper reaches of the tributary of the Euphrates River in the Khapur River, and then to the dividing point between the upper reaches and middle reaches of the Tigris River in Mosul in northern Iraq, then to the intersection of the Hapur River and the Euphrates River, and along the Euphrates River to Hegrenier, and finally to the west to the Ijo border line. It can be seen that this front line is very tortuous. At least two are formed. Highlights

The ministry, that is, the northern protrusion with Mosul as the designated point, and the central protrusion with the confluence of the Khapur and Euphrates as the peak. Let’s look at the counterattack arranged by Li Dongshi, and you can understand that the counterattack against Mosul is to defend the northern part of Iraq. It is to prevent the enemy from attacking Baghdad along the Tigris River, while the counterattack against Deirzur is to relieve the danger in the upper reaches of the Euphrates River and force the enemy to retreat the front line to the Syria-Iran border. Reduce the pressure formed by facing Baghdad again.

The problem is that such a counterattack is more like an offense.

From another perspective, you can find that Li Dongshi has another purpose, that is, to use the counterattack in the direction of Mosul to lure the SAYO Group coalition forces to increase troops in northern Iraq, and then cut off the supply channel of the SAYO Group coalition forces in northern Iraq through the counterattack in the direction of Deirzur. Even after the counterattack was successful, he went north to attack Kamishli, cut off the retreat of the rampant SAYO Group coalition forces, and achieve the goal of encircling the SAYO Group coalition forces on the northern front. If this is true, this counterattack will inevitably become a turning point in the Middle East War.

From the tactical analysis, Li Dongshi's reason for doing this is very sufficient.

Although before the SYO Group coalition forces reached Mosul, the Iraqi army destroyed all bridges and passes in the northern region, and even buried tens of thousands of mines in the hundreds of kilometers of Tigris River section from Mosul to Tikrit to prevent the SYO Group coalition forces from going downstream. In fact, the northern part of Iraq is dominated by mountains. The terrain is originally very rugged, otherwise the Republic would not have chosen to march from Iran and Syria into Kurdistan. But no one can deny that after decades of large-scale construction, Iraq has the most complete infrastructure in the Middle East. The average density of roads and railways not only surpassed Iran and Syria, but also Egypt, becoming one of the most developed countries in the Middle East.

Affected by this, as long as the SAIC Group coalition forces can solve the problem of transporting troops and combat materials to Mosul, they can go south along the Tigris River and take Baghdad in one fell swoop. When Damascus has fallen, throwing Baghdad away again means that the Republic's Middle East strategy has officially gone bankrupt. Not to mention how much impact this will have, just from the battlefield situation, the SAIC Group coalition forces will definitely defend Baghdad with all their might, while the SAIC Group coalition forces will attack Baghdad desperately. From the perspective of time, at the beginning of the year, that is, after the US and Israeli main forces are resting, the SAIC Group coalition forces will march into Baghdad. In this way, Li Dongshi has no choice but to launch a counterattack before and consume the enemy's combat effectiveness.

More importantly, if you want to hurt the enemy, that is, make the enemy lose the ability to march into Baghdad, you cannot limit the battle to one side, nor to a certain battle. Instead, you should consider the entire situation and make the main purpose of annihilation of the enemy's living forces. In this way, you must make a fuss about the scale of the counterattack, and make full use of the favorable situation on the battlefield and fight an annihilation battle in a way that is beneficial to the intensive coalition forces.

Looking at Li Dongshi's counterattack deployment, it is not difficult to understand his intentions.

On June 2019, the Republic's Army took the lead in launching an attack in the direction of Mosul.

In order to create a high enough sensational effect, Li Dongshi concentrated 10,000 troops of two combat units in this direction, and also allowed Iran and Iraq to invest in ground troops of comparable scale. In other words, the total strength of the intensive group coalition forces attacking Mosul was about 10,000, and the 8th day of the intensive group coalition forces was "the strength of the sigma group coalition forces in Mosul could not bear the strength of the sigma group coalition forces. The battle was very fierce from the beginning. The vigorous resistance of the sigma group coalition forces and the fierce attack of the intensive group coalition forces caused the casualties to rise sharply.

There is enough reason to believe that General Almer, the commander of the Siego Group coalition, is very clear about Li Dongshi's intention, that is, attacking Mosul is fake. Using Mosul to attract the main force of the Siego Group coalition to create opportunities for the counterattack in the direction of Deirzur, is the real thing. So until June, Almer did not increase troops to Mosul. Instead, he repeatedly asked the troops guarding Mosul to resist.

The problem is that understanding the situation does not mean that you can stand by death without saving you.

Although starting from the height of the entire battlefield situation, it would be a good choice if tens of thousands of officers and soldiers could be used to stabilize the entire front, but with the situation at that time, even if tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Mosul was sacrificed, the entire front might not be able to stabilize the entire front. The reason is very simple. Mosul is the only military center of the Sievan Group coalition in northern Iraq. If you lose Mosul, you can only retreat to Kamishli in northeast Syria. This is not the most important issue. In any case, Kamishli is also a military center that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, with the intensive forces of the coalition forces, it is difficult to continue to attack Kamishli after capturing Mosul. The key is that after losing Mosul, you will be the only military center.

To expose the southeastern Turkey, that is, the eastern part of Kurdistan, to the intensive group coalition, will create more opportunities for Li Dongshi to counterattack. At that time, Li Dongshi may not concentrate his troops to attack Kamishli, but may imitate the war before the old year, send troops from the northwest of Iran and advance westward from the Armenian Corridor east of Lake Fan. If it really develops to this point, it will be equivalent to the complete collapse of the left-wing defense line of the SIO Group coalition, and it will also be equivalent to the lengthening of the front line again. At that time, even if the US and the main forces of the Israeli army have completed rest and restored their combat effectiveness, they must first plug the loopholes on the northern front. Then they can enter Baghdad.

There is no doubt that such a result will not be of any benefit to the SAIC coalition.

In other words, in the face of the battle in the direction of Mosul, the US military had to rescue and sent reinforcements as soon as possible.

On June 19, when the Mosul defenders issued several requests for reinforcements and the peripheral defense line had been broken by the intensive coalition forces, Almel had to order the 7th Army of the Turkish National Army stationed in Kamishli to transport it to Mosul.

Obviously, Almer was still a little hesitant at this time.

Although the total strength of the 7th Army of the Turkish Army exceeded 10,000, and it was under the jurisdiction of tank divisions, armored divisions, mechanic infantry divisions, three infantry divisions, and two independent air defense brigades and three independent artillery brigades, the 7th Army was not the main force, and even had nothing to do with the main force. According to the relevant information collected after the war, when Almère issued the order to advance, the full rate of the 7th Army was only about 70%, and most of them were recruited after the outbreak of the war, with less than 10,000 veterans. How powerful can such an army have? Almost nothing to consider.

Of course, Li Dongshi would definitely not take it lightly for an army with 70,000 troops.

Judging from the situation at that time, Almer asked the 7th Army of the Turkish Army to rush to Mosul to rescue Mosul, not because he hoped that this group of mobs could rescue Mosul. Instead, he wanted to test Li Dongshi's determination to counterattack. That is, how many main forces had the intensive group coalition invested in the direction of Mosul. Almer's concern was not unreasonable, because if two combat units of the Republic Army were allowed to attack Mosul, the battle would have ended long ago and would not be delayed until June. More importantly, the defenders of Mosul also mentioned in the report that the main force of the attack was the Iranian army, and the Republic Army was only responsible for providing long-range artillery support and air support for the Iranian army. The combat troops of the two combat units had not yet appeared on the battlefield. However, what Almer did not expect was that when the two combat units appeared, his tentative action would become the beginning of the disaster.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the 7th Army of the Turkish Army was only fought for a while, and the 70,000 Turkish Army was destroyed.

This battle record took place on the left bank of the Tigris River, known as the "Telle Kochek Annihilation War". During this very young battle, the 7th Army made tenacious and fierce resistance. In the end, the entire army was wiped out because it was outnumbered. At that time, the battle report issued by the 7th Army of the Turkish Army also mentioned that it was besieged by multiple combat units of the Republic's army. Obviously, there were only two "multiple" here.

Anyway, this annihilation battle shocked Almer and left him with no choice.

The situation is obvious. If the SAIC Group coalition forces do not rescue Mosul, the SDG Group coalition forces will follow the steps, that is, the Iranian army will conquer Mosul. The combat units of the Republic Army can be fully rested and then use Mosul as a base to march northward to southeastern Turkey. The problem is that if the SAIC Group coalition forces send troops to rescue Mosul, they will definitely be blocked by the Republic Army. In this way, the scale of reinforcements can only be expanded. Not only should we break through the SAIC Army's blockage, but we must also strive to defeat the main force of the Republic Army.

There is no doubt that you can only invest in the main force. And it is best to be a main force with strong combat power.

On June 19, after the Second Turkish Army Army was wiped out, Almel issued a mobilization order to retreat to Iskendelone Bay and Israel, four US military divisions and two Israeli military brigades who were preparing to unload and rest. While canceling the rest plan, he asked six troops to arrive in Kamishley with Zhou's combat supplies within the hour.

This is definitely not a good thing for the approximately 10,000 soldiers of these six troops.

In terms of military input, Almer not only did not take it lightly, but decided to take advantage of the strategy. That is, to use the counterattack of the intensive group coalition forces in Mosul to launch an early combat operation against Baghdad. Of course, if the SIO Group coalition forces want to march into Baghdad, they must first defend Mosul, and it is best to be able to encircle and annihilate the intensive group army that attacked Mosul. For this reason, what Almer invested was not to defend Mosul's troops, but to encircle and annihilate the opponent, and to attack Baghdad's troops along the Tigris River from Mosul.

Stunning, starting from the Ba Xiaofa side, there is still reason to believe that Almel plans to fight a mobile war in Xiaoyuan, Iraq, and annihilate two combat units of the Republic Army in the mobile war. From the actual effect, that is, the impact, annihilation of two combat units of the Republic Army is more important than encircling and annihilation of the Old Ten Thousand-Iranian army, or even defending Mosul. The reason is very simple. As long as this goal can be achieved, Li Dongshi has to adjust his defense deployment and even request strategic support. This will have an impact on the strategic deployment of the Republic Army, and ultimately affect the battles on the mainland battlefield and the Middle East battlefield.

From this decision, it can be seen that Almer is a very courageous commander.

When he had to fight, he did not choose to avoid it, but took the initiative to face the challenge and regarded the challenge of defeating the enemy as the beginning of victory.

In terms of personality, Almel is indeed very similar to Duchwie back then.

The problem is that Almer met not Pei Chengyi, but Li Dongshi.

In fact, judging from the situation on the Middle East battlefield, Pei Chengyi may not be more powerful than Li Dongshi. The reason is very simple. Pei Chengyi is the kind of commander who is good at fighting large corps battles. If he is given enough troops and broad battlefield space, he can defeat any enemy. It is obvious that the Republic Army in his childhood did not have these two prerequisites, so he cannot defeat his opponents in the way Pei Chengyi is good at. In comparison, Li Dongshi, a general who comes from an airborne unit and is good at fighting under limited military strength and battlefield space, can make full use of the combat power on the battlefield and give sufficient damage to the enemy.

Looking at Li Dongshi's battle attempts, it is not difficult to find that Almer's increased troops to Mosul and planned to fight decisively here just met Li Dongshi's appetite.

In June, when the US and Israeli troops arrived in Kamishli, Li Dongshi withdrew two combat units.

Just a few hours later, the counterattack in the direction of Deirzur started. Like the counterattack in the direction of Mosul, Li Dongshi also invested two combat units here, but in addition to the ground troops of the Iraqi Defense Forces that assisted the battle, there were 80,000 Syrian troops.

In other words, in the direction of Deirzur, Li Dongshi invested ten thousand troops. Because Syria has basically fallen completely, the combat effectiveness of the Syrian National Defense Forces is very low and morale is even more problematic, so the combat effectiveness of the ten thousand troops will not exceed that of the occupied ten thousand troops in the direction of Mosul.

Of course, like the battle in the direction of Mosul, the battle with huge casualties was the Allies responsible for the battle. The combat units of the Republic Army were responsible for the mobile warfare.

At this time, Almer encountered a dilemma.

Although Deir Zul is hundreds of kilometers away from Mosul and hundreds of kilometers away from Damascus, and the intensive coalition forces do not invest much force, it is difficult to hit Damascus in one go, but as long as Deir Zul is lost, the right wing of Kamishli's US-Israeli army will be exposed to the muzzle of the Republic's army. With the strong assault capability of the Republic's army, Almer certainly does not want to let the old Wan army rush to Mosul to assist Mosul when the flank is unstable, and he will not expect to go south to attack Baghdad under this situation.

It can be said that the SYO Group coalition has no choice but to defend Deirzur.

The problem arises. If Deirzur reinforces, there will definitely be no time to reinforce Mosul. If Mosul falls, it will not be of great significance to defend Deirzur. What's bad is that if it goes the other way, it will be more serious, because it means that the Siego Group coalition in Mosul has become a turtle in the jar. What's even worse is that the US-Israeli coalition forces are not dared to divide their troops easily, because dispersing forces will only give the other side a chance to defeat each other. If considering the tactical mobility of the Republic Army, Almer even has reason to believe that Li Dongshi can fight units in a certain direction in a short time, that is, using the old Wan army to eat a US-Israeli army, and then adjust the direction of the attack. Eat another US-Israeli army. If he really wants to fight to this point, even if Almer slaps himself, he will not be able to compensate for the mistake he made.

It can be seen that by this time, Li Dongshi still had the initiative.

For Almel, there is only one way to resolve the crisis and regain the initiative, that is, to establish a line of defense south of Kamishli. He also sent a heavy army assistant, Zhan Wanmei, who had arrived at Kamishli, advanced east at full speed, and strive to rescue Mosul before the Republic Army hit Kamishli, and then return to Kamishli. Stabilize the defense line. If he could fight the Republic Army in Kamishli and annihilate the main force of the Republic Army, all problems could be solved in one fell swoop.

Of course, Almer had reason to believe that as long as Li Dongshi could realize that it would be impossible to defeat Kamishli in a short period of time with two combat units, he would put his main force west of Mosul, and the town of Taylor Kochek, which had recently wiped out the 7th Army of the Turkish Army, fought a huge mobile war with the US and Israeli troops, which was a few years ago. This determined the situation on the battlefield.

In any case, the US and Israeli legions occupy ten thousand troops, while the Republic Army has only four combat units. If necessary, Almel can send another ten thousand combat troops to the front line, while Li Dongshi can only send up two ten thousand troops to 10,000 troops. In terms of force, Almel has taken a big advantage.

The key is how to build a defense line south of Camishley that can withstand 2 combat units.

To this end, Almer asked the 3rd Army Group of the Turkish National Army to move to defend Hasek on June 2 and built multiple lines of defense along the highway west of the Hapur River.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a big deal.

The 3rd Army Group of the Turkish Army included the 7th Army that was annihilated before, as well as the 3rd Army, the 3rd Army and the Dikou Army. The 3rd Army is the main force of the Turkish Army, consisting of a division of the Gu, with a total force of more than 10,000, and the other two armies have a force of about 10,000. In other words, in order to block the two combat units of the Republic Army that were attacking Deirzur in the south, Almer used about 10,000 Tu troops!

Although from the experience on the mainland battlefield, the Wu Bu Tu Army may not be the opponent of two combat units. After all, the quality of the Turkish National Army will not be as strong as the Russian Army, and the combat effectiveness of the Russian Army is naturally much lower. However, from the perspective of ship suppression, the Wu Wan Tu Army can at least persist. In Almer's words, even if the Wu Wan Tu Army collectively surrendered, the Republic's Army would have to spend several days to recruit so many prisoners of war. Judging from Almer's battle deployment, all he needed was only a few days. In any case, a few days later, the US-Israeli Legion either successfully rescued Mosul, or annihilated the main force of the Republic's Army in a mobile warfare, or was defeated by the opponent. Anyway, whether the Turkish Army defended the Hasek defense line at that time will not have much impact.

In general, Almer's plan took into account all aspects, but ignored a very critical factor, namely the battlefield maneuverability and maneuvering methods of the Republican Army.

You should know that the Republic Army was the first ground force to achieve "airlifting". Not only can combat personnel be maneuvered by air transport, but even all main combat weapons can be airlifted by vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, and they can go to any location to fight by airborne and landing.

It is undeniable that if we rely solely on air maneuvers, it will definitely put a lot of pressure on the army's aviation and make the army's organization system extremely large. Take the combat units of the Republic Army as an example. Even the main combat units can only airlift one-third of the combat troops at a time, while the reserve combat units can only airlift one-fifth of the combat troops at a time. Therefore, on average, about one-quarter of the combat troops at a time. If we want to send all combat troops from one combat unit to the battlefield at a time, we have to draw airlift forces from other combat units. It can be said that this is also the main reason why the Republic Army has organized vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft into the support brigade of the combat units, and the number of low-altitude assault battalions in each brigade can be flexibly matched.

It can be seen from this that it is almost impossible for Almer to use the ground defense line to block the combat units of the Republic Army.

In June, after the Turkish Army 3rd Army Group arrived in Hasek and began to deploy its defensive positions according to Almel's requirements, Kamishli's US-Israeli army began to march westward. Although the US military also has a large number of vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft and also has air assault capabilities, and the combat effectiveness of the Israeli army is not worse than that of the US military, many of the main combat equipment of the US and Israeli army cannot be airlifted by vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft under standard combat equipment. During combat, it is impossible to reduce the allocation or go to the battlefield.

Then add configuration. To put it bluntly, the US-Israeli legion leaves Kamishley and has to go to the battlefield, and it has to arm the main battle platform according to combat standards. In this way, unless the US-Israeli legion is willing to sacrifice part of its protective ability, it will have to advance along the ground traffic line. Of course, this does not mean that the air assault force in the US-Israeli legion is useless. In the case of ground advancement, the air assault force of the US-Israeli legion becomes a vanguard force, that is, it is active in front of the main force and undertakes reconnaissance and surveillance tasks.

In any case, the old Wan army is definitely not a joke. If the main battle of the US and Israeli army is about to be completed and connected, they are hundreds of kilometers long. Even if the soldiers occupying ten thousand meters in a row, they can form a row of human dragons about a thousand meters long.

Of course, when marching, the US and Israeli troops could not be crowded together, but were divided into several parts according to the army. The marching ability of the US and Israeli troops was at most Zhao's hour, and the old Wan army would arrive in Mosul. Almer also made the afternoon marching plan, that is, to spend the night after arriving in Telkochek, and wait until dawn on June 2 before rushing from Telkochek to Mosul.

In order to ensure that Taylor Koczek is not surrounded, the US and Israeli legion also sent vanguard troops in advance and asked the reconnaissance forces to closely monitor the situation within a radius of 1,000 meters in the town.

In the eyes of the commander of Huang Yi Junran, "the defensive depth of falling 1,000 meters is enough.

This is also easy to understand. For a force that assaults in the field, even if it is not blocked, it will take at least 2 hours to run a thousand meters. The US-Israeli Legion in combat only needs to complete combat preparations in minutes after receiving the alarm. In other words, as long as the peripheral reconnaissance density is large enough, even if the assault capability of the Republic Army is amazing, it is impossible to encircle and annihilate the US-Israeli Legion in Taylor Kochek like the Turkish Army's 7th Army. Almel even hopes that Li Dongshi will attack Taylor Kochek, because in this way, the US-Israeli Legion can use the already built defensive positions to fight the Republic's army with a leisurely affair, and then use the advantage of military strength to counter-encircle and annihilate the nearby Republic Legion in one fell swoop.

Let’s not talk about whether Almel’s plan can be realized. Judging from the situation at that time, it is definitely not the US-Israeli Legion who is waiting for it. You should know that the US-Israeli Legion did not receive sufficient rest before arriving in Kamishli, and did not stay for a few more days after arriving in Kamishli. In comparison, although the four combat units of the Republic Army did not receive enough rest, in the previous battles, in addition to encircling and annihilation of the Turkish Army, ten thousand officers and soldiers of the four combat units did not participate in the combat operation, and the battle to encircle and annihilate the 7th Army was very smooth, which did not have a great impact on the two combat units participating in the battle. In other words, from June to June sunset, the four combat units that Li Dongshi had invested in counterattack were basically resting near the front line.

More importantly, it is difficult for the US and Israeli army that have just arrived at Telkochek to build a solid enough defensive position overnight, and it is impossible to use the defensive position to block the attack of the Republican army.
