However, the signing of the agreement does not mean that peace will really come. The agreement is just a piece of paper. If you abide by it, then it has value. If you do not abide by it, then it is nothing. All very fast.

"Your Excellency Qusay, when will our army begin to retreat?" Prince Sultan asked after McFarlane left.

retreat?Qusay said, "When did we say we were going to retreat?"

"Didn't the agreement be signed just now?" Prince Sultan asked. Yesterday he said that he would delay and sign the agreement later, but today, why did he sign it so soon?

Because the Syrians moved very quickly, just before they came to sign, that is, at around 08:30 in the morning, after paying 3000 casualties, the loss of more than 200 tanks and more than 300 armored vehicles, Syria has made a decision xìng victory!

No one thought that Syria's offensive would be so fast.In later generations, countless commentators analyzed the initial victory of Syria's capture of the Golan Heights, which contained a lot of luck and a lot of inevitability.

For example, the Golan Heights was originally a strategically important area defended by the four-line army. The elite force of the four-line army was deployed here, including the latest Israeli Merkava MK2 tank, which was equipped with this army first. force.However, this unit was transferred away.Although Syria has not actually discussed with Iraq and other countries, it seems to have been agreed in advance.Originally, the color column was very promising. The once-famous Golan trench did not block the torrent of steel from the Syrian army. They solved this simple problem with a simple method.The torrent of steel in Syria, under the fierce attack without fear of casualties, the Jews finally couldn't resist, and either all the soldiers retreated back.Syria absorbed the lesson from last time and did not leave the Jews a chance to respite. They attacked overnight. On the plains in the south and in the mountains in the north, they were attacking vigorously. On the commanding heights of Mount Hermon, they were attacked by Syria The army's helicopter raid, using a small group of elite troops, occupied those important places. Finally, at 08:30 in the morning, the Syrian army occupied the highest peak of the Golan Heights, occupied the Israeli military fortress, and occupied the traffic. The main roads and various places have already planted the Syrian flag. Although there are still sporadic resistance, the Israeli army is powerless.

The most depressing thing is probably the armored force that drove all night. If their roads are clear, they can reach the Golan Heights area at five or six o'clock before dawn. At that time, the Syrian army was attacking forward, and the rear Their defenses are weak, and their new force will defuse the fierce offensive of the Syrian army like a red-hot iron inserted into cheese, and turn the Golan Heights into safety.

However, there was a problem with their road, they didn't know who did it, it could be Syria, it could be the United Arab Army, in short, they couldn't continue to use the trailer, so they had to drive off the tank.

The fuel consumption of the tanks is huge when maneuvering, not to mention that their fuel tanks are not full. As a result, when they were more than 50 kilometers away from the battlefield, they stopped because they ran out of the last drop of fuel. The Israeli commanders realized that they had made a big mistake. It was dawn before the emergency logistics fuel supply vehicle from Haifa arrived. Then, they were surprised to find that before the fuel supply vehicle arrived, they The Syrian army gunships that have been waiting!

Originally, the Israeli army also had a large number of armed helicopters, but in the absence of air supremacy, their armed helicopters were not of much value, and would be killed by fighter planes from Arab countries that implemented no-fly missions.So, they didn't follow the armor.

Although there are also self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery in the armored forces, the antiaircraft artillery did not cause much damage to the armed helicopter. The armed helicopter has a great attack power against the ground vehicles. The Merkava tank, which is known as the best protection, After encountering a sudden attack from the sky, they failed to achieve the original goal of development, and were hit by armed helicopters one after another. Tanks without oil have tragically become fixed targets for armed helicopters. Shattered to pieces.

After losing the air force, it is not easy for the Israeli army to counterattack the Golan Heights, and the Syrian army will firmly hold there.

Now that the Syrian army has occupied the Golan Heights and all strategic goals have been achieved, it is natural to sign this agreement. President Qusay is also a very peace-loving person.

McFarlane was kept in the dark. He knew that the front line was urgent, and Washington had urged him several times. Therefore, he had been waiting here for a reply from the top Arab officials, not knowing that the front line had changed.

"Just because we signed the agreement, it doesn't mean we will implement it immediately." Qu Sai said: "In the past few days, we have to maintain a high degree of vigilance against the Israelis opposite. They will never abide by the agreement. We With a strong army here, we can still have room to fight back, and our army needs to withdraw slowly and one after another.”

Qusay's worry was very justified. The Jews suffered a great loss. Who knows if they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and the losses in the north will be recovered in the south.

As for repenting after signing the peace agreement, Israel will not be afraid of public opinion.

"Our fighter planes will not be cruising over Israel for the time being, but our early warning planes must closely monitor Israel's actions." Qu Sai continued, since both parties have reached an agreement, they still have to Give some face.

Although both sides have their own ghosts, no one thought that the first attack this time was actually Syria!No one would have thought that Syria would actually make such a move, impulsiveness is the devil.

Chapter 7 Ready to Go

On the battlefield, the gunpowder smoke has dissipated, but the bodies of the war dead can still be seen everywhere, including those from Syria and Israel.

The casualties of the attacking side are the largest. Israel has built a lot of fortifications here. Although there are bombardments, planes dropping bombs, and tanks attacking, Syria still pays several times the casualties of the opponent, but this does not hinder Syria stands on the land of the Middle East as a victor!

"The president, our army, has controlled the entire Golan Heights. Now, Haifa and Tel Aviv are right in front of our eyes!" Lieutenant General Masri said in Damascus, the commander in charge of the attack on the Golan Heights.

Commanding this battle has greatly inspired the morale of the people of Syria. Now, the entire country of Syria is almost boiling.

Syria needs victory. The shame of Syria for more than ten years has finally been completely washed away on this day.Syria completely relied on its own strength to regain its own Golan Heights!

"This is just the beginning." President Hafez-Assad said: "Now, is our army ready?"

"Our army is exhausted. The casualties of several troops participating in the attack are being counted. Fuel and ammunition are not very sufficient. However, we only need one day to leave the necessary troops and guard In the Golan Heights, at the same time, an armored division and a mechanized infantry division are allocated to launch an attack. During this day, we can also mobilize two second-line armored brigades to enter the western part of the Golan Heights. Tomorrow, it will be possible to advance at full speed into the Galilee region," said the Minister of Defense.

After receiving the new instructions from the president, Syria's logistics department has been operating at overload, but it still has not completed another war buildup after the battle in the Golan Heights.

Although the task of attacking the mainland of China has excited all the senior generals, it is a big challenge, because their previous preparations were all aimed at occupying the Golan Heights. Now, the president has proposed When they hit the territory of Israel and completely drive out the Jews, they need to make a new plan.

"Our air force is also very expensive, but we can still persist and continue to carry out bombing operations." Major General Manav said. "But now, the Arab countries have held peace talks with Israel and signed a peace agreement. Isn't it risky for us to launch an attack now?"

The news of the peace talks has come. Although Syria has not participated in these matters, they still feel a sense of grief and indignation. Could it be that those Arab brothers are going to leave them who are fighting alone?Don't they know that this is a good opportunity?

They didn't know that Qu Sai had already made his best efforts, otherwise, today's glory would not have appeared at all. If the armored soldiers of Israel rushed to the battlefield, the whole battle situation would be reversed.

Now, Qusay signed the peace agreement after seeing that Syria had taken back the Golan Heights, and their army is still ready at any time.

Qusay didn't know that after the victory, Hafiz made an ignorant decision, and actually decided to kill Israel by himself.

If Israel was swallowed by Syria so easily, then Israel would never appear on this territory that should not belong to them.

"Although they have signed a peace agreement, the troops in the south of Israel will not be mobilized until the United Arab Army withdraws. Even if they want to mobilize, Israel does not have an air force. The sky is ours. We can do it like this morning. Similarly, strike violently at the reinforcements of Israel! We can advance to Tel Aviv before Israel does not respond, and now the northern part of Israel is very empty." Hafiz said: "We need Yes, it’s fast! Moreover, Yasser’s armed forces will also infiltrate into the Israeli-controlled area, carry out sabotage, blow up oil depots, power stations and other key departments, we have great confidence!”

Hafez is very confident. His confidence has infected everyone. They firmly believe that this time, Syria will create a miracle in the history of Middle East wars, and Syria will also become the leader of the Middle East after Egypt!

"Tonight, we will launch an attack on the ground armored forces. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Haifa! Tomorrow night, we will go to Tel Aviv!" Hafiz said.

"We must now concentrate all our efforts to recapture the Golan Heights," Perez said.

"Although we have now signed a peace agreement, the armies of the Arab countries on the opposite side show no sign of leaving." Nahum said: "Our road was destroyed last night. It is very likely that they did it."

Nahum was a little worried. It would be very risky for them to march northward before the Arab army on the opposite side moved out.

"The Arab army on the opposite side only dares to play some tricks, otherwise, they would not just attack our roads. Last night, they should have launched an attack on our armored forces. They are obviously avoiding fighting with us. Instead, let us and Syria fight each other, and they watch from the sidelines." Rabin said: "Originally, after the conflict in the north, if the opposite Arab army launched a large-scale offensive, we would be in trouble, although The Qusay leader on the opposite side put a lot of pressure on us, made us sign an agreement that seriously damaged our Israeli interests, and asked us to apologize. Several of us will be spit to death by the senator's saliva. However, we have not suffered substantial damage. Although we have to pay 15 billion US dollars in compensation, our overseas Jewish groups have raised funds on a large scale, and we have been able to sign a peace agreement. I think Qusay is now , is not ready for a large-scale invasion of our country."

Rabin's analysis was very correct, but he still had a stronger thought in his heart, but he didn't say it out. This is what explained Qusay's foresight, because now, the Arab countries are not yet capable of completely defeating the following Even if it is laid down, it will not be able to face the subsequent joint sanctions from the Western world. Now, all industries in Iraq have just started, and it is absolutely impossible to leave the Western world. They have dealt Israel a fatal blow Afterwards, he was able to retreat completely, let Israel suffer, and let the United States lift the sanctions. A few years later, what kind of behemoth will Iraq develop into?Absolutely the scariest enemy ever!

Therefore, he actually hopes that the armies of the Arab countries can invade and start a ground war, which will consume a large number of Iraq's war capabilities, so that they will not be able to recover within a few years.He didn't say these words. It's not suitable to say such words on this occasion.

"Moreover, we still have a trump card, our air force, which is about to regain its combat effectiveness." Said Israeli Air Force Commander, Amos Lapidot.

After signing a peace agreement with Arab countries, the United States finally agreed to deliver the fighter planes to the Israeli Air Force, and by putting pressure on Turkey, the Israeli Air Force can temporarily use the U.S. Incirlik Air Force Base in Turkey. The Israeli Air Force paid [-] million U.S. dollars to Turkey to use the air force base for half a month.

Anyway, there is only one Syria left now, and there is no need to directly confront the pro-American Kuwait and Saudi air forces. The United States has become very calm, and Turkey has accepted it.

Hearing the good news of the Air Force, everyone's faces showed excitement, because as long as the Air Force has it, they have enough confidence!

"We now have twelve F-16s and twelve F-15s, all of which are the latest models of the United States, and the United States has promised that if we need more fighters, we can even send them to Incirlik. The fighter planes currently in service at the air force base are provided to us, but unfortunately we don’t have so many pilots.” Amos said, his voice was a little low when he said this, because all the outstanding pilots in Israel were lost.

Only 24?That wasn't enough, Perez frowned and said, "Can't we find more pilots?"

"We even hired a few retired pilots from Europe, and their skills are still there." Amos said: "Besides, we don't have an early warning plane yet."

"Perhaps, we can consider hiring American pilots to fly when necessary, and we can also lease the early warning aircraft at Incirlik Air Force Base to help us provide early warning information." Rabin said: "Because, what we are facing , not just Syrian aircraft, it is very likely that the air force of the United Arab Army will intervene in the battle at any time."

"When will our air force go into battle?" Perez asked.

"The ground crew is still inspecting the newly received fighter planes. At the same time, the mounted American-made missiles also need to be re-inspected. Our ground crew is also short of manpower. Therefore, we can complete all the tasks before takeoff this evening. ’” Amos said.

The dispatch intensity of the above air forces is very high, and they can complete the process of refueling, reloading, and taking off within a few minutes after landing. This is inseparable from the skilled ground crew. The airport was attacked by surprise, and the ground crew lost a lot, and some of the missiles they used in the U.S. stockpile had some technical failures. If the problematic missiles were mounted on the plane, then the pilots in the sky would be They will face danger, so they proceed very carefully and the progress is very slow.

"Then tonight, take back our air supremacy. At the same time, tonight, our two armored divisions will complete the task of retreating to the north, and tomorrow morning, they will enter the Golan Heights and take our land." Come back!" Perez said.

Chapter 7 Entering the Land of Israel

The damned early warning machine finally landed. On the land of Israel, the Mossad personnel in charge of electronic intelligence monitoring cursed in their hearts, and then sent a message back that their own troops can finally be dispatched. .

Although they don't really trust the British radar technology, several battles have shown that the performance of the early warning aircraft equipped by Iraq is relatively advanced. They don't know whether the opponent's early warning aircraft can detect the ground Moving vehicles, they still decided not to take the risk.
