Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning of July 2, 1992.

    It was a sleepless night. During this night, no one noticed that a powerful force suddenly appeared in the peaceful Sinai Peninsula.

    The 35th Armored Division reached the Duhail area on the Gaza border in an incredible way.

    Here, they are fully prepared, and only after the arrival of early morning, their attack will begin.

    ¡°All ground-effect aircraft were used to transport the heavily-equipped 35th Armored Division, and the Marine Corps could only reach the designated location through its own methods.

    While the 35th Armored Division was flying over the sea and desert, the Marine Corps' Desert Leopard infantry fighting vehicles were also gathering at their designated positions.

    The Marine Corps relied entirely on its own ability, and it was actually very simple, because their infantry fighting vehicles have amphibious capabilities.

    ¡°In the early morning of July 1, they had already launched from the Sheikh Humed area, crossed the Gulf of Aqaba, and entered the Sinai Peninsula.

    After crossing, they hid in the mountains of the southern Sinai Peninsula. After dark, they began a long journey. In the early morning of the 2nd, they arrived in the ancient Semai area.

    The time for the general attack is getting closer and closer.

    The forty-eight armed helicopters equipped by the 35th Armored Division have also flown to the air base in the Sinai Peninsula at ultra-low altitude. After dawn, they will support the armored division's attack as soon as possible.

    In addition to the main offensive force, the reserves of the 1st Armored Division, 10th Armored Division and 47th Infantry Division, as well as two Saudi armored divisions, all entered Jordan.

    Two squadrons of Mirage 4000 fighter jets from the Northern Military District of Iraq, two Mirage 4000 squadrons from the Southern Military District, and the two latest Ericsson Godeye early warning aircraft also transferred to the Ussali Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia that evening.

    All they use are heavy air superiority fighters. Their mission is to seize air superiority over Gaza and protect the safety of their own attack forces. At the same time, two Mirage 4000 squadrons of the Saudi Air Force will also participate in this mission.  .

    There is no need to use too many fighter planes because Gaza¡¯s airspace is too narrow.  Saudi Arabia has not used F-15 fighter jets because Qusay still has concerns about these. Will the U.S-made fighter jets have some backup?

    At the same time, the second-line air force is also ready. Once the conflict escalates, Iraq will also invest its main air force in the task of fighting for air supremacy.

    When launching this war, Qusay was very careful not to expand the scale of the war. How to obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost was what he cared most about.

    Until now, the United States and Israel are still kept in the dark. They don¡¯t know that Iraq is already sharpening its sword.

    Gaza, the Palestinian territory, must never be ravaged by Israel again!

    The eastern sky gradually brightened, and just when the sun just emerged from the horizon, Palestinian Authority Chairman Arafat issued a statement to the world.

    "Gaza is the sacred territory of our Palestinian state. Now, it is experiencing war. Israel ignores relevant United Nations resolutions and cross-border attacks on our Palestinian territory. This is a serious act of aggression. However, our Palestinian liberation forces do not have enough  We use our strength to defend our territory, so we invite other Arab countries to come forward to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Palestine, maintain peace in Gaza, and stop the war there!"

    Arafat¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. The war in recent days had made him physically and mentally exhausted, but his eyes were still bright and his spirit was still uplifting.

    There, the invaders will be driven away and it will become their real territory!

    At this time, the whole world has not yet reacted. Could it be that Arafat was talking in his sleep?

    Just after Arafat issued a statement, Iraq issued a statement at the same time.

    "In order to help our Palestinian compatriots and restore peace in the Gaza area, we in Iraq have decided to unite with other Arab countries to organize a peacekeeping force to station in Gaza. As the territory of the Palestinian state, the Gaza area is now suffering from barbaric aggression. We hope that the invasion  The protesters immediately put down their weapons and exited Gaza. At the same time, we declared a no-fly zone over Gaza, and any aircraft flying over here will be shot down!"

    Iraq was finally about to take action. At this time, the Israeli Ministry of Defense personnel on duty immediately realized that the situation was not good. Just when they urgently notified the Minister of Defense, Prime Minister and others, the battle had already begun.

    At the same time that Iraq issued the statement, the Iraqi ground forces hadAction began.

    In order to prevent the smuggling of supplies in the border area, Israel has fenced all the land between Gaza and Egypt with barbed wire. The power grid has been closed, and there will be checkpoints at regular intervals.

    But just this morning, the power grid was down, and all five checkpoints on the border north of Duhail were silent.

    They did not report any urgent intelligence back, and they were all killed by Iraqi special forces before dawn.

    The Rattlesnake Special Forces emerged from the tunnel and appeared completely behind the Israelis. Without any precautions, they were captured by the Rattlesnake Special Forces.

    Now, what Iraq needs most is time!  If the Israelis don't react, they will need to liberate the entire Gaza area!

    North of Duhail, Iraq¡¯s steel craze is pouring towards the border.

    The total area of ??Gaza is only 350 square kilometers, and the width from north to south is only 40 kilometers. This distance is only an hour's cross-country journey for a tank.

    Ali¡¯s ** armored regiment rushed to the front, its 1,200-horsepower engine roaring, thick smoke billowing from the rear, and the rising sand covering the sky.

    Rush, rush, enter Gaza City before Israel can react, drive away the Jews, and liberate the entire Gaza!

    The tracks kept moving forward on the ground, and the tank with its gun barrel raised high rushed forward.

    Beyond the small town of Rafah and beyond Han Younis, the most fertile land in between is the Jewish settlement.

    The Jews living here who were doing morning exercises were surprised to see the army approaching from a distance. They thought it was their own army until the tanks approached. The experienced Jews immediately realized, Oh no!  This is the Arab army!

    As long as the Jews are of working age, they must perform military service, which leads to the fact that the Jews also have rich military knowledge. That kind of tank is very similar to the Soviet T-72 tank. In particular, the flag on the tank antenna is  The flag of the Iraqi army!

    The Iraqis are coming!  How did they get here?

    After being stunned for a long time, a few people came to their senses and reported them to the boss quickly!

    However, they found that their phone calls could no longer be made, and their entire communication line had been completely destroyed last night.

    Then, the power in the entire settlement area was also interrupted. The special forces responsible for taking out the transmission lines had an accident and have not completed the task until now.

    The Armored Division has no problem with these Jewish settlements. They have only one goal, Gaza!

    Hades was very depressed because this was his mission.

    He didn¡¯t win the battle, so this kind of thing became his business.

    After entering from another location, the Marine Corps followed the 35th Armored Division. Their task was to wipe the butt of the 35th Armored Division: monitor these Jewish settlements.

    Regarding civilians, Iraq must not take any action. It should not allow them to come out to cause destruction. At the same time, it must also prevent any "just" people from picking up assault rifles and giving them a shot when they see the opportunity. In this way,  It will make Iraq look bad internationally.

    The armored cluster continued to advance. Half an hour after crossing the border, they finally reached the outskirts of the Gaza Strip.

    Here, the 460th Armored Brigade, which had just received the news, came out of Gaza City and came up.

    The 460th Armored Brigade is an important armored brigade in Israel. It is equipped with the latest Israeli development of Merkava MK3 tanks. There are three tank battalions in total, with one hundred such tanks.  There is also an armored engineer battalion, an armored reconnaissance company and an anti-tank missile company.

    Compared with the original MK2 type, the most important change is probably the replacement of a 120mm smoothbore cannon, which is far larger than the original 105mm rifled cannon.

    As soon as they left the city, they discovered the torrent of Iraqi steel, which had already rushed to a distance of only four thousand meters away from them.

    "Prepare for battle, armor-piercing bullets!" Brigadier Ranager shouted.

    The Israeli army has skilled combat skills. Although they are now in an encounter, they are quickly preparing, turning on various fire control equipment, starting the laser range finder, and an armor-piercing projectile has been stuffed into the gun barrel.

    At this moment, the commander, who was looking through the periscope, discovered a scene that surprised them.

    A puff of smoke appeared from the muzzle of the tank on the opposite side, which meant that they had fired the shells!

    How can this be!  The distance now is four thousand meters!

    There are only two possibilities, first??The people coming from the opposite side were just like the Arabs at the time, firing cannonballs from a distance to embolden themselves, but they fired aimlessly.

    Second, they already have advanced weapons that can launch attacks at this distance!

    Brigadier Ranage arrived in Germany for further study half a year ago. He immediately thought of a possibility. It was possible to attack from this distance. For example, the Soviet Union had artillery-launched missiles!

    After the reunification of Germany and Germany, many Soviet weapons have been thoroughly studied by the West. For example, the MiG-29 fighter plane, with its helmet sight and large off-axis missiles, such as the gun-launched missiles of the T-80 tank, have become familiar to them.  Soviet weapons.

    "Stop moving forward and retreat immediately!" Brigadier Ranage immediately shouted on the radio. At this time, he had no other way and hoped that this last resort would work.  (To be continued.
