Babylonian Empire

They are inspired by victory, they want to be liberated!They want to drive away the Israelites who have been oppressing them!

Therefore, it is difficult for the Israelis to regard the various Arab settlements as their own land. Although they used bulldozers to forcibly destroy some Arab buildings to build their own Jewish settlements, it is impossible for them to Get rid of all the Arabs.

The lands that Israel occupied after the third Middle East War have never been recognized by the international community, and Israel has not passed legislation on those lands, and they have become their lands for nothing.

Iraq's Ericsson God's Eye early warning aircraft has synchronously told the Iraqi armored forces through the data link that the enemy has now left Nablus, only five kilometers away from them.

The battle is about to begin, and the [-]st Armored Division is full of confidence.

The First Armored Division, also known as the Medina Division, is a meritorious unit, they are the proud Republican Guard, and they are a fist of President Qusay!

The 247th Armored Brigade also received news from the armored reconnaissance vehicles on the front line that the Iraqi armored troops were about to appear in front of them.

They just need to stay here, hold back the Iraqis, and wait until dawn, and they will win!

They didn't know that it was not the Iraqi ground troops who greeted them. Their armed helicopters had already passed the ground troops and flew towards the 247th Armored Brigade.

The self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery accompanied by the armored brigade, after discovering the situation, conducted emergency fire, but they did not achieve much results. Instead, their design attracted the killers in the sky, using anti-tank missiles, Destroy them one by one.

Although the armed helicopter is still the main Mi-24 armed helicopter in Iraq, the anti-tank missile has become an advanced "cornet" anti-tank missile. Needless to say, the Merkava MK247 tank equipped by the 2 Armored Brigade was imported from the United States. The M1A1 main battle tank can't stand its blow either.

Several long-range radar stations of the Israeli army on the West Bank of the Jordan River have been blown up by Iraq, and Israeli fighter planes have not been dispatched yet. Therefore, Iraqi Mi-24 helicopters can fly here arbitrarily.

Those Israeli armored forces are their goals!

However, in order to avoid misfires, the armed helicopters can only launch the first wave of attacks when the two sides are not in contact. After the melee, it is easy to observe during the daytime, but at night, it is not so obvious. Like a fighter plane, equipped with an IFF device, it is also a very complicated problem to distinguish between friend and foe.

In the first wave of attack by armed helicopters, the 247th Armored Brigade suffered heavy losses, and more than 20 armored vehicles were hit from the air.

Still, they're on their way.

The 247 Armored Division is equipped with Merkava MK2 tanks. This tank has been produced until 89. Compared with the MK3 type, the biggest disadvantage is that it is only equipped with 105 mm caliber artillery.

This kind of artillery has always been Israel's main equipment. It uses self-developed shells and has a high hit rate at a distance of 1600 meters.

It's just that it's still a bit difficult for them to fight Iraq's 125mm artillery tanks.

If in the past, although the main gun of the T-72 tank was fierce enough, but the backward night vision equipment, the night combat ability of the Iraqis was not outstanding, and there was no big advantage in front of Western tanks, but now it is different , under the personal care of Qusay, this tank has excellent sighting equipment, and can shoot the opponent at a distance of more than 2000 meters.

Moreover, the Iraqi armored forces adopted another tactic.

After discovering that the Israeli armored troops in front began to attack, the Iraqi armored soldiers stopped advancing, and then the tank soldiers put into reverse gear!

That's right, it's the reverse gear. If you look from the sky, you can see that the current situation is that the Israeli armored forces are attacking. They defeated the Iraqi armored forces, and the Iraqi troops are retreating.

Of course, if you look closely, you can find that this is not the case at all.

Although the Iraqi armored forces are retreating, they are not completely defeated. The kind of troops that retreat without contact will not appear in the Iraqi army.

When researching a new type of tank, Qusay issued certain technical requirements, for example, a mechanical hydraulic gearbox and a fully automatic transmission mechanism must be used, which also gave birth to a new combat method for armored forces, fighting backwards.

The turret of the tank can be rotated 360 degrees. However, the armor of the tank is always the thickest in the front. Therefore, you must aim your front at the most dangerous place, which is the direction of Israel's attack.

In this way, the tank must have the ability to reverse at high speed and the control ability of the tanker. Therefore, the Iraqi armored soldiers have undergone such training during normal training. Now, this is the first time that this combat style is practical.

When the entire armored brigade retreated, the main guns had already fired. At this time, the distance between the two sides was 2000 meters. At this distance, although the hit rate of the T-72M1's 125mm main gun was not very high, it could still Eliminate the opponent, and they are safe, because the maximum range of the opponent's 105mm main gun is only 1600 meters.

The distance of 400 meters is the distance between life and death.

When Genghis Khan's light cavalry criss-crossed the entire Eurasian continent, one of their tactics was to be chased by the enemy, and at the same time shoot arrows backwards, killing and wounding the opponent continuously. In the end, the number of pursuers became less and less, until No.

The Israeli armored forces are very cunning. When they fired the first round of artillery fire from the Iraqi armored forces, they knew that they had been fooled, and the other party was trying to lure them!

Now, when they are the most important defensive force in Nablus, although attacking the enemy is very important, self-protection is also very necessary before they have enough capabilities, so they immediately chose to withdraw from the battle.

They made a big turn on the ground, and then broke away at high speed, preparing to return to Nablus.

It's a pity that they couldn't wait for the opportunity.

Seeing that the Israeli armored forces were about to retreat, the [-]st Armored Brigade in front immediately rushed up. However, before they fired, they received a message from the data link, telling them to keep a sufficient distance from the Israeli armored forces.

Because, the Air Force's Su-25 fleet finally arrived.

Like the American A-10 attack aircraft, the Su-25 is an excellent attack aircraft. It can take off and land on airstrips close to the front line to perform close combat support missions; it has strong anti-tank capabilities and can mount multiple Anti-tank missile; low-altitude maneuverability is good, and it can cooperate with the armed helicopter Mi-24 at low altitude under the condition of carrying bombs, and cooperate with ground troops to fight; it has strong protection, and there are 24 mm thick titanium alloy bullet-proof plates on the bottom of the cockpit and around it.

The Su-25 attack aircraft imported by Iraq, on the basis of the original, has focused on improving the fire control system, making it an excellent ground attack aircraft. -25 attack aircraft, flying to the battlefield, they arrived in vain, once again stealing the limelight from the [-]st Armored Division.

After the [-]st Armored Brigade moved forward again, the ground just now was full of destroyed tanks. Due to the loss of air supremacy, the Israeli ground forces were struggling to advance and retreat.

The 247th Armored Brigade lost two-thirds of its troops, and the remaining tanks retreated back to Nablus.

On the northern line, the 323th Armored Division defeated the [-]rd Armored Brigade and successfully entered the outskirts of Nablus.

The Iraqi armored forces did not hesitate. Just before dawn, they completely entered the city of Nablus and launched an operation to wipe out the remaining Jewish armored forces.

The armored units that followed quickly expanded their battle results. The Desert Leopard infantry fighting vehicles of the No.40 Seventh Mechanized Infantry Division followed and expanded their battle results, planting Arab flags all over the West Bank of the Jordan River.

Jordan's Sixth Mechanized Infantry Division, Saudi Arabia's Second Armored Division and Fourth Armored Division also followed and arrived at the designated location.

Among them, the two armored divisions of Saudi Arabia, the second armored division went south, showing the momentum to go south to Jerusalem, while the fourth armored division went north, as if it would enter the Galilee region at any time.

Chapter 110

On July 7th, it was just dawn.

The Palestinians in the West Bank of the Jordan River watched with hope, those checkpoints listed in color had disappeared, and around them, it seemed that the army of the Arab brothers was everywhere.

Under the call of Allah, the great Qusay Abdullah finally sent an army to liberate them here!Immediately, the enslaved Palestinians cheered, their eyes filled with tears.

However, the war is far from over.

In the urban area of ​​Nablus, the remaining Jewish people are still resisting. In the night battle last night, the suppression operation after entering the urban area was not very smooth.

The Iraqi army has invaded the eastern urban area of ​​Nablus, but in the west, Israel is still holding on.

Of course, after dawn, the situation was different. A soldier from the [-]nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the [-]st Armored Division stood on top of a building and called for air support.

In front is a Jewish building. There are about fifty Jewish soldiers hiding there. Due to the angle problem, the attack of the tanks failed. They were hit by missiles fired from top to bottom, and several tanks were lost. .

Main battle tanks are invincible in the wild, but they still have many disadvantages in urban street battles.

However, these disadvantages were immediately made up for.

Because, they immediately started calling for air support.

For Israel, the street fighting they are good at is calling for air force support at any time, no matter how tricky the angle is, they can kill you with bombs from top to bottom!
