    In June 1953, the war in the Persian Gulf had lasted for a quarter.  Just as Viola said, the Republic Air Force suffered heavy losses under the sustained high-intensity aerial attacks by the US military. The airport in Abu Dhabi was basically destroyed, and the Republic Air Force had to shrink its defense circle.  But correspondingly, the US aircraft carrier battle group also withdrew from the Persian Gulf due to serious combat losses.  Six of the eight aircraft carriers dispatched by the US military were hit by bombs. Two of them lost their navigation capabilities and could only be towed by destroyers to leave the Persian Gulf.  In order to cope with the high intensity of consumption on the front line, Lin Youde had to continue to transfer planes to the Persian Gulf via Turkey and Damascus - planes with a long range flew directly to Istanbul for refueling, and then diverted to the Persian Gulf, and those with a short distance were shipped by sea.  Disembark near Damascus and then fly to the Persian Gulf.  Of course, the U.S. government came forward to accuse Lin Youde of openly aiding the war, but Lin Youde immediately said that this was a normal delivery of orders, a legal and reasonable business activity. Can you still refuse to let me deliver the order?  I lost money and you gave it to me?  The Americans also had a whimsical hope of putting pressure on Lin's company through the German government. As a result, the German government didn't dare to let go. Not only that, it also acquiesced to Lin Youde's delay in delivering the super ghosts ordered by the German army, and prioritized ensuring supply to the Persian Gulf¡ª¡ª  In fact, they sent the aircraft that had been built for the German army to the Persian Gulf. Some of the aircraft had their military emblems painted on them. When they arrived in the Persian Gulf, they just put the military emblems on them and flew them into the sky. The traditional yellow nose color of the Luftwaffe was still retained (in Lin Youde's case)  The yellow identification nose was used by the Luftwaffe into the jet age under the influence of artificial influence).  While the air battle was going on, the ground war finally began. Because the Republic Air Force turned to air defense operations in key areas, the U.S. military finally landed in Abu Dhabi. The Republican Guards originally stationed in Abu Dhabi fought and moved, more than a hundred years away from the Qatar Peninsula.  Kilometers of land stabilized the defense line. The Republic's combat readiness road was built just here, and supplies could be transported continuously. However, the US military's supply convoy was in off-road condition when it set off from Abu Dhabi. The so-called road was only slightly flattened.  Just the ground.  MacArthur, who was sitting in the rear, believed that he could break through the Republican Guard's defense line within a week, so he ordered Ridgway to move forward bravely at all costs. However, contrary to expectations, the ground forces of the Republican Guard showed strong combat effectiveness.  The Grizzly self-propelled artillery with eight rounds of magazines has an astonishing combat power. It often launches sudden fire attacks on U.S. troops. The artillery fire comes fast and hard, putting a lot of pressure on the U.S. military.  Once the shooting of the grizzly bear is completed, it will immediately move. The US military aircraft tried to find the grizzly bear's position several times but returned empty-handed, losing the aircraft in vain.  In addition, there are rocket launchers carried by small pickup trucks. This was something Lin Youde made on a temporary basis for the Republican Guard to try out. It turned out to be extremely effective. The specially manufactured desert pickup truck is fast and durable, and can go deep into the desert on a bicycle to bypass the US defense lines and patrols.  , and then used rockets to attack the supply storage points of the US military. Countless Americans have been wiped out by rockets this quarter.  In addition, the Republican Guard also has considerable advantages in armor strength. Their new tanks are exactly the same as those of the German Army. The thick multi-layered frontal armor defense makes the US military feel that its M48 Patton tank has insufficient firepower.  This is the first time the United States tried to design and manufacture its own main tank after imitating Lin Youde's Leopard. When it went to war in the Persian Gulf, it had developed into the A3 type, equipped with a 105mm tank gun, and also had an electronic tube ballistic computer and early ranging.  instrument.  However, it is still slightly insufficient when facing the Republican Guard's main tank with a 200 mm thick frontal armor and a 120 mm tank gun.  The U.S. military originally thought that it could rely on better fire control to compete with the Republic's heavy-armored artillery. However, after actual combat, it was discovered that the M48 did not perform better than its opponents in terms of fire control, and the 105mm cannon was almost unable to shake the Republican Guard's battle front.  The car's 200mm turret frontal armor also has an angle, which is a waste of expression when it hits the gun mantlet.  The main tank of the Republican Guard adopts a very fashionable design of facing the enemy with its nose down. Four-fifths of the cross-sectional area of ??the front of the vehicle body is the nose armor.  This takes advantage of the natural fall of enemy artillery shells during flight. Although the inclination angle of the lower front armor is not large, because it is tilted inward, the impact angle of the shell when it hits is actually higher than that of the upper front armor with outward tilting.  It is better when facing the enemy, and the equivalent thickness of the armor is also greatly increased.  In fact, this kind of inward tilt design is reflected in the side armor belt of a battleship in another time and space. The side armor of the Yamato-type battleship is contracted and tilted inward.  Due to this special inward design, the US military found that its 105 gun could not effectively penetrate the front hull of the Republican Guard's main battle vehicle at a distance of more than 700 meters. Whether it can penetrate beyond 700 meters depends on luck. Only  Only by attacking the car body at a distance of about 300 meters can it be possible to penetrate the 120 mm car body armor.  Fortunately, the pitch angles of US military tanks are very good. When entering hand-to-hand combat, they still haveThere is a chance to penetrate this unique inward-facing front armor.  But the armored soldiers of the Republican Guard also knew this very well. They knew that they would be very safe at a distance of 1,000 meters, and their 120mm cannon could easily penetrate Patton's front at this distance or even further.  Therefore, armored battles in the Persian Gulf were controlled at a distance of 1,500 meters to 2,000 meters. Once the US military advanced to 1,000 meters, the Republican Guard armored forces would reverse and fight.  At this time, the disadvantages of the poor environmental adaptability of US military tanks became apparent. When fighting in North Africa, the US military was deeply troubled by dust. US military tanks often stopped due to inhaling too much dust.  You must know that the amount of air inhaled by the tank engine is very huge, so a large amount of dust in the air will accumulate in the tank engine. The amount of dust inhaled by the tank engine is abnormally alarming. If the dust removal device of the air intake system is not effective,  Or neglected maintenance, the engine will soon be scrapped.  A large number of US military tanks were spread out on the march, almost as many as the number of tanks destroyed by the Republican Guard.  The damaged tanks have greatly increased the logistics burden on the US military. The US military, which has always been known for its logistics supply capabilities, is also overwhelmed at this time.  But this did not diminish MacArthur's arrogance. He still believed that he had a way to end the war within this summer.  MacArthur has always been worried about the fact that Eisenhower could become president. Since the commander of the European Theater of Operations can become president, then he, the supreme commander of Asia, should also be able to.  MacArthur worked hard and prepared to use his outstanding performance in the Persian Gulf region to increase his bargaining chips in future campaigns.  Ridgway, on the other hand, kept sending telegrams, trying to make MacArthur understand that it was impossible to achieve a breakthrough until the road from Abu Dhabi to the front line was built.  But that¡¯s what the army is like. Officials and senior officials suppress people to death, and MacArthur¡¯s orders are there. Ridgway can only keep kicking the engineers and soldiers in the butt to get them to speed up road repairs.
