After the shelling was completed, the Syrian army started this offensive. What was before them was the Golan trench that made them at a loss last time and lost more than 200 tanks.

Using trenches to defend against tanks is a common method in World War II. As long as the trenches are not dug longer than half the width of the tank tracks, then the tanks will not be able to pass, and they will have to fall into the trenches when they drive up.

And the Jews even piled all the soil on their own side ingeniously. It seems simple, but in fact it is everywhere, which made the Syrian armored soldiers suffer a lot last time.

For ten years, the Syrian armored soldiers have been studying how to deal with this kind of trench. After countless failures, they are finally going to use their own simple and effective new method.

Soon, the defending troops in the following lines were stunned by what came up in front of them, what was that?

In order to be able to travel off-road, the bottom is modified with the chassis of the T-55 that will be eliminated. However, the upper turret part has been removed and converted into a cargo box of an inverted dump truck!It is 7 meters long, 4 meters wide, and [-] meters high. Such a container has a volume of nearly [-] square meters.

The dump truck dumps the soil backwards, but this cargo box is placed upside down, and the soil is dumped forward. Moreover, for convenience, there is no cover at the front end of the cargo box, and the inside is filled with yellow sand.

Such a large cargo box is larger than the chassis of a tank. Especially, it is very difficult for the only occupant, that is, the driver, to enter and exit here. However, the view from above is still guaranteed, and the situation ahead can be seen clearly.

The one rushing to the front was just such a monster, with a crawler chassis and a coffin-like cargo box on top, emitting black smoke. It was the drivers who all turned on their horsepower and appeared behind the Golan trench to operate. Anti-tank guns and other weapons in front of the Jewish defenders.

"Fire immediately and destroy those armored trucks." The Jewish company commander said, now that there are new things on the other side, then we can't follow the original tactics, and kill them first.

"Boom!" A 75mm anti-tank gun deployed there fired its own shells.

The shell hit the monster accurately, and the yellow sand in the cargo box above the monster was blown away, but after the fire, it was still moving!

The shell penetrated the 7-meter-long cargo box without causing any damage to the chassis below.

However, the driver inside was very depressed. The shot just now knocked out more than half of the [-] cubic meters of yellow sand he was carrying!

He slammed on the gas pedal twice to vent his dissatisfaction.

The other monsters were still moving, and they were getting closer and faster to the Golan Moat.

Do they want to use these monsters to fill up the Golan trench?Then they would have miscalculated, because in this case, they would be unstable even if they flipped in. The tank on the top would drive up directly, and there was no guarantee that it would be pressed right on it, and it would still slide into the ditch.

Are the Syrians crazy?

Syrians are not crazy.

Just two meters away from the trench, the tank driver slammed on the brakes.

The brake belt locked the brake drum, and now the almost seventy-ton behemoth began to descend at an incredible speed. The tank driver felt his body jumping forward suddenly. If the seat belt did not hold him tightly He was tied to the seat, and he was probably about to get bruised and swollen. Although it was not a dúlì suspension, he could still feel the tank body leaning forward suddenly. The suspension system of the front road wheels was put to the greatest test at this time.

Under the huge inertia, all the yellow sand on the upper carriage was thrown forward from the front end of the opening, and flew into the Golan Ditch in front.

The widest part of the trench is six meters wide, and the deepest part is nine meters. If you want to fill in a three-meter-wide flat road that is big enough for tanks to drive in, 55 cubic meters is enough if you count the volume of yellow sand sliding to both sides. That is to say, only five modified T-[-] tank sand trucks are needed to complete the task.

After the first huge vehicle used its inertia to pour the sand and soil it carried into the Golan trench below, it turned to the side and drove away, followed closely by the second vehicle behind it.

The Syrians used their own methods to overcome the trench that suffered a big loss last time. What if there is no soil?Prepare yourself!Just fill it up!

Ordinary trucks cannot complete such a task, because even the truck with the best off-road capability cannot transport dozens of tons of sand and soil in such a harsh battlefield environment. Moreover, if it is an ordinary truck, It needs to be driven backwards to unload the sand into the trench, and also risk the threat of artillery fire from above.

Only with a tank chassis, the old T-55 tank also has an engine of more than 500 horsepower, a crawler chassis, and the container modified on it, with the opening forward, can directly use the inertia to throw the yellow sand into the trench. If it is clay, then it cannot be thrown out, and there is no hydraulic mechanism.

They have practiced many times before this, so if there is no accident, if the brakes are applied too late, the tank will also fall into it, and if it is too early, the sand will not be able to enter the trench, and it will all be scattered outside. .

After the sand transporter completed the task, several of the latest T-72 tanks drove up, their muzzles turned around, towards the place where the shells were fired just now, and used grenades to kill them, the synchronous machine gun on the turret , also began to sweep the stunned Jewish soldiers.

While the T-72 tanks were opening up positions, several military bulldozers came up from behind. Under the protection of the T-72 tanks in front, they began to fill the soil inside the Golan trench into the Golan trench.

The firepower of the defenders immediately shot at these bulldozers converted from light tanks. They have already seen that if the Golan trench is filled up, then their guards will lose their meaning and they will lose their positions.

Now, the Israeli columns must not abandon their positions!

The bulldozers were even more welcomed by the Israeli army than the T-72s that rushed past. Various weapons, anti-tank guns, anti-tank missiles, and the bazookas of the approaching infantry all greeted them together, and the T-72 also greeted them. Defend your bulldozers by returning heavy fire at those firing locations.

After flattening the width of more than ten meters, the bulldozers were hit one by one, and the other bulldozers were still persisting. They needed to open up a road to victory for their own armored forces!

As the Golan trench was filled, the Syrian armored forces drove up and launched a fierce attack on the defenders. Those who resisted stubbornly had no choice but to die!

Syria's offensive is very brave, and the guards of the Israeli army are also relatively strong. Even if there is only one platoon, one squad, or even one person left in the entire position, they will never retreat. Would get close to the Syrian tanks and hit the weak sides and rear armor of those tanks.

The battle was quite fierce. Ten years ago, the Syrian army failed again. They lost their homeland. They held back their energy and must take the Golan Heights back!

On the other hand, this place must be guarded well. For this land, thousands of Jewish men have spilled their blood on every inch of this land. This is what they bought with their lives, and it must not be lost again!

However, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. Although there are fortifications that have been in operation for more than ten years, they still appear very weak in the face of Syria's powerful armored forces.

On all fronts, there are desperate struggles and confrontations between the two sides. On the Golan Heights, there is blood and death everywhere. This is war!

"George, didn't you say that as long as we freeze Kuwait and Saudi Arabia's overseas assets, these two countries will give up their support for Iraq and Jordan?" President Reagan said very dissatisfied: "But now, the situation is completely heading towards Going in a different direction! If we don’t agree to their request, then they will try to use other currencies to settle oil!"

McFarlane's report came up, and Reagan had a feeling that a fly flew into his mouth suddenly when he was breathing fresh air. It was disgusting, quite disgusting.

No matter what happens in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are firmly on the side of the United States. In particular, when the United States has an economic crisis, it is Saudi Arabia that helps the United States tide over the difficulties by increasing its holdings of dollars. If it is not Israel The problem, the relationship between the two sides, will be further strengthened.

But now, when it is time to test the relationship between the two sides, Saudi Arabia actually said that it will abandon the US dollar oil system and use other currencies for settlement!

However, McFarlane has made it very clear that this is just the dissatisfaction of the countries in the Middle East with the United States on the Israeli issue.

"Now, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are just threatening us. President, they are just using this method to vent their dissatisfaction with us. They have not abandoned the system we have established. Moreover, they also said to use rubles. In your opinion, these two Does the country have any pro-Soviet intentions?" Bush said, "Now, we need to resolve this dispute quickly so that Israel can withdraw its troops as soon as possible to deal with Syria in the north."

Bush sees the issue as more critical. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait cannot do without the United States. They do this to vent their dissatisfaction with the United States. The two sides have disputes, not irreconcilable conflicts. They have frozen so many assets. What do they say? It's all possible, the key is to see if they will make it.Bush felt that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were not so bold.

So, Bush said, the key is to quickly resolve the dispute and get the Arab troops to withdraw.

Chapter 7 New Targets in Syria

"Our Golan trench did not stop the attack of the Syrian army." In Israel's Ministry of Defense, they received such a frustrating news.

If Syria wants to attack, it must launch a tank attack. Last time, the Golan trench played a very important role and successfully blocked the Syrian attack. This time, they originally thought that they could repeat the previous glory and let the The blood of the Syrians has flowed into rivers, but now, the situation has changed, and what they expected has not happened.

If the Syrians' armored forces suffer a great loss, then the Golan Heights can still hold out for a few days, but now, they quickly crossed their defense line, then, in the worst case, within two days, they will be defeated. Can completely occupy the entire Golan Heights.

"Syria sent out helicopters, landed a small number of troops, and occupied our highest mountain base."

"Syrian mechanized infantry divisions are attacking our north, and they are fighting tenaciously."

Bad news came one after another, but the high-ranking military officials in the ranks could only wait for the news, because they found that they couldn't spare even one brigade of troops to support them!

In order to launch punitive revenge on the southern front, they invested almost all their troops. According to the emergency situation in wartime, they are calling up reserve personnel to enter active duty, but this will take a certain amount of time.

How to solve the immediate problem?Is it just to let our side watch helplessly as the Golan Heights is taken back by the Syrians?

It's not that there are no troops, but they are all waiting in the air on the southern front. The longer they wait, the higher the possibility of being discovered by the other party.

"We have to make up our minds." Rabin said: "We must now reinforce the Golan Heights as soon as possible. The later our reinforcements arrive, the greater the loss of our soldiers will be. If the Golan Heights is completely lost, then , it will be difficult for us to regain it again.”

"You mean, we have to agree to the demands of the Arabs, let us apologize to the Arab countries, and then compensate them 15 billion dollars?" Perez said, his mood became calm at this time, he knew that in At this time, it is necessary to carefully weigh the pros and cons, which is related to the fate of Israel!
