Egypt's attack was not just a simple target of the Israeli Air Force. It was a huge air-to-land coordinated combat plan. Otherwise, Ismail, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, would not have to go to the scene in person and make pre-war deployments all night long.

While the Mediterranean air war broke out, the Egyptian Army, which was no longer threatened by any air, began to act separately according to the established plan.

The Second Corps took the bridgehead crossing the river as the center, and the troops along the canal were divided into two routes, approaching north and south, advancing steadily, and clearing the remaining enemy troops on the Balev defense line.

Although the main Israeli forces behind the Balev defense line have been cremated in an organized manner, there are still a large number of outposts scattered in the north and south directions of the bridgehead crossing the river. If they are not removed, the supply line of the Egyptian Legion will be under their harassment at all times.

This work should be done early rather than late, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if the Jewish soldiers in the outpost fled to the mountainous areas of the Tikh Plateau to fight guerrilla...

On the Balev defense line, the Israeli army has 17 reinforced outposts, with a distance of 10-30 kilometers.

The defense line (Sinai side) extends eastward for 2-10 kilometers. Although there is a flat land that is easy to pass parallel to the canal, it is also scattered with a large number of tidal flats and swamps. Some are naturally formed and some are caused by the excavation of canals. This is not very friendly to the passage of armored forces.

Fortunately, this also plagued the previous invaders Jews, and with their intelligence, this problem was solved well in the previous six years.

Extending from this flat ground to the east is a slowly rising sand dune that extends to the ridge line on the edge of the desert. The Israeli army built a north-south artillery highway behind this ridge line, which facilitates the rapid movement of armored troops in the defense zone.

Now, this road belongs to the Second Egyptian Legion.

After the Second Legion set out, the Third Legion left the umbrella of the Sam-6 air defense missile position and began to advance eastward, approaching Alish.

Tanks can be driven in with their own tracks, but the mechanical loss of long-distance motorcycles is very large, especially in the northern Sinai Peninsula, where tidal flats and swamps are everywhere. When you arrive in Arish, a large number of tanks may be unable to move due to various faults.

In order to ensure the quality of the attack, the command center gathered all the tank transport vehicles of the Second Corps and the First Corps who were transferred to assist in the defense, and installed all the tanks of the Third Corps on large flatbed trailers and were towed by heavy trucks.

Of course, such advancement is highly dependent on good and smooth roads, and this problem has been solved in advance by the Jews.

But the danger is that the entire transportation line will be long and does not have any defense capabilities during the march. Whether it is air strikes or ambushed by armored troops, it will cause great casualties to the entire tank unit...

Because of this, although Ismail had prepared a tank transport vehicle, he still waited until the Mediterranean air battle started and the Israeli Air Force could not free up his hand, and ordered the Third Legion to set off.

As for Israel's armored forces, they are still lying down!

At this time, the three Israeli armored brigades and two mechanized brigades huddled in Arish were still waiting for their commanders to arrive in chaos. Within 14 hours after the outbreak of the war, all they did was to repair the radar and anti-aircraft artillery positions. As for the Hawk missile positions, they were already ruins...

Why wait for the commander?

This is due to Israel's military system that is as complex and weird as national defense mobilization.

The highest rank of the IDF is the lieutenant general, and the Chief of Staff is the only lieutenant general in the National Defense Forces. The commander of the military region, the commander of the navy, army and air force, and the commander of the armored forces are all major generals. Therefore, the actual promotion limit for the National Defense Forces is the rank of major general. Brigadier General Oren Muffman, who died for his country, is definitely a heavyweight boss of the Air Force...

What's even more strange is that Israel's reserves are more capable of fighting than the standing army!

Due to the small country and a small population, they are unable to maintain a large-scale active-service standing army all year round. Israel implements military service for all militia, both men and women, but the enthusiasm of Jews to join the army is not very high.

Therefore, many talented Jews did not want to develop in the military after serving in the military, but returned to society early.

Before a certain period of time, these people were reserve forces. Of course, the reason they left the army was not because of poor military quality, but because there were greater development opportunities in the local area.

For example, Sharon, he went up to the Chief of Staff, and there were many big men in the IDF who were more experienced than him. Moreover, General Elazar, the Chief of Staff, was in good health. Who knows when he could survive?

Therefore, taking advantage of the strong reputation now and entering politics is a wise choice.

After returning to the local area, these reserve officers and soldiers still have to return to the army to receive intensive training every year. The military technology is not relaxed. Because they are not restricted by the rotation system of officer positions in the standing army, the officers and soldiers train together, cooperate tacitly and have strong cohesion.

Moreover, Israel, such as pigs who don’t like dogs, have to fight wars all year round. Almost all veterans who have seen blood in the reserves, and their actual combat effectiveness is naturally greater than that of the permanent army!

After emergency mobilization during the war, the reserve division commander was often the outgoing military region commander or military commander. Not only was he qualified, but he was also familiar with the war zone and combat plan, and he could quickly form immediate combat power.

In this way, an interesting scene appeared in the Israel Southern Command:

Major General Gonan, who had just served as commander of the Southern Command for less than three months, was actually his old commander three months ago...

Major General Ariel Sharon retired three months ago and joined the political ranks and participated in the formation of the Likud Group. After the war broke out, he was urgently recruited as the commander of the Reserve Armored Division.

Three months ago, he and Major General Gonnan were in opposition, Sharon was the commander of the Southern Command, and Gonnan was the commander of the reserve division.

The same thing happened to Major General Abraham Bran Adan, who had just stepped down from the position of Commander of the Armored Soldiers half a month ago and had not yet had time to re-employ:

During Sharon's tenure as commander of the Southern Command, Adan served as commander of the armored soldiers, and Gonan was Adan's direct subordinate.

When Adam was the commander of the 7th Brigade, Gonan was the battalion commander of the 7th Brigade. When Adam was the deputy commander of the Tar Division, Gonan was the commander of the 7th Brigade, and when Gonan was the commander of the reserve division, Adam was already the commander of the armored soldiers.

The two main division commanders under him are their former bosses, and they are Israel's outstanding meritorious generals. They were originally the main planners of the Sinai Peninsula's combat plan and attrition defense for the past six years, which made the command relationship of the Southern Command very delicate...

Because the size of the troops often changes, a reserve division says nothing and says there is nothing. In order to facilitate wartime command, the troops number is replaced by the commander's name, such as:

Master Adan and Salon Master.

The Adan Division was the first armored division stationed in the Sinai Peninsula. Later, Adan was promoted to commander of the army. The division's number could be changed, but they still fought under Adan's command, so the name has been used until it was cremated...

The number of the famous Adan Master has disappeared, which means that Adan flashed half a month ago, otherwise he would have become a Brigadier General Oren Muffman before—

The highest general who died since the war began in Israel!

Now, the problem lies with Alish.

Arish's three Israeli armored brigades and two mechanized brigades belonged to three different divisions. This was not a problem yesterday, but later their division commander turned around with the six tank brigades that were supposed to come to meet to support the Golan Heights!

Thus, the appointment of the commander became a problem.

Before Gonan went to the meeting, he considered letting Adan or Sharon go to Arish, because at this time, only the two of them could conquer these different arrogant soldiers, but it was very difficult to send who to go.

Adan's troops are gone. As an old subordinate, Gonan really wants to give him these five brigades so that the old leader can use this to regroup and slap the shame...

However, according to the deployment of the General Staff, the five brigades were abandoned!

If Adam is sent over, if the second and third legions of Egypt advance eastward, even if they are as strong as Adam, they will definitely not be able to resist it. Not to mention the bloody shame, it may not be possible to protect the evening of life...

So, let the salon go?

But this guy is not easy to fool. Sharon is famously unruly. The key is that he can get along with the soldiers and has a high prestige in the army. If he rashly throws this order out, he will definitely spit out a mouthful of salt soda.

Damn it, do you think I'm a bad person?

After hesitation, Gonan decided to bring this headache to the meeting. Anyway, he, the commander of the Southern Command, was almost empty. At worst, he would be a breakup. Whoever likes to be...

Adan knew nothing about Gonan's ideas. He was anxiously waiting for Commander Gonan, who was attending the meeting of the General Staff, to return, because judging from the current situation, his Supreme Command had no meaning to his appointment-

Let him fight with 28,000 ghosts?

The salon has not arrived yet, and he is much more casual than Adan, a guy who always wanders around the military district when he is fine!

The afternoon before the war broke out, Sharon was busy finishing the election at the Likud Party headquarters and received a call from the Supreme Command to report to his division headquarters immediately.

As a result, after he called the Southern Command, he learned that the situation had not changed much and Israel was not ready to take the initiative. So Sharon took his wife and children to his own farm in the Negf Desert to celebrate the Day of Yom Kippur...

However, the peaceful Atonement Day was soon broken by a cruel war.

After receiving urging from the Southern Command, Sharon had to organize his personal belongings, say goodbye to his family, and hurried back to the division headquarters.

But at this time, the General Staff had a new deployment. Three tank brigades under his division, including Colonel Tuvia Aviv, Colonel Heim Elets and Colonel Armnon Reshev, were transferred to the Golan Heights for support. Like Adan, Sharon became the commander of the bare division...

If you are trampling on the horse, you will not let me command?

Then play with something!

In a fit of anger, Sharon simply drove away from the division headquarters and went home to carry his wife!

For the above reasons, Arish's five brigades were chaotic in the military camp and waited for death. They did not start paying attention to the fierce battle over the Mediterranean until the radar was repaired.

Little did they know that at this time, the Egyptian Third Legion had sharpened his sword and turned to the pigs and sheep!

When Colonel Mohammed returned with a victory, 25 Tu-16 bombers quietly flew up at the air base on the west bank of the Suez Canal.

This time, they were fearless and did not hover over Egypt, but crossed the canal and flew straight towards the Israeli base of Arish...

The maximum flight speed of the Tu-16 bomber is Mach 0.86, and the 150-kilometer range only takes less than 9 minutes. Of course, they do not need to fly 150 kilometers. The two AS-5 "Frogfish" air-to-ground missiles mounted under the wings range from 50 to 150 kilometers.

So four minutes later, 25 Tu-16 bombers dropped 50 AS-5 "Frog Fish" air-to-ground missiles at an altitude of 10,000 meters 100 kilometers from Arish!

Unlike last time, the warheads of these 50 "frogfish" were equipped with anti-radiation warheads. Arish's Israeli base had previously illuminated the Mediterranean direction with radar. When it was discovered that 25 more highlights were added to the return route of 195 Egyptian aircraft, it did not attract attention.

After all, it is still 100 kilometers away, and even if you pay attention to it, what can you do?

Hawke's anti-aircraft missile position is still burning...

It was not until they found 50 small targets flying straight towards them that they were in chaos. The radar that closed the radar, the anti-aircraft guns were called, and even the inventory of anti-aircraft machine guns were put out.

However, no Egyptian planes came!

The base radar provides a strong radiation source, and 50 AS-5 "Frogfish" air-to-ground missiles fell from a height of 10,000 meters at an initial velocity of Mach 1.3. Anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. did not pose any threat to them.

After more than forty violent explosions, five Israeli brigades in Arish became deaf and blind after a brief restoration of the Ming Dynasty...

And this is just the beginning!

25 Tu-16 bombers have just returned, and a huge fleet of 180 aircraft composed of 100 MiG-17 fighters and 80 Su-7B attack aircraft flew over the Suez Canal, and their wings are all equipped with cluster bombs!

When bombing the Israeli Adan Division on the east side of the Balev defense line yesterday afternoon, the Egyptian Air Force was a little awkward, even with a hint of fear that Israeli fighter jets would come at some point...

However, after witnessing the air battle in the morning, that terror was replaced by pride and pride. The pilots of these MiG-17 fighters and Su-7B attack aircraft were almost envious of those guys who drove MiG-21s!

When will this kind of good thing be our turn?

Now, good things are coming!

Using cluster bombs is a very cruel method of bombing. The entire body is composed of small bombs. Each small bomb is called a sub-bomb, so it is also called a mother-child bomb.

In the body of each cluster bomb, there are hundreds of spherical sub-bombs about the size of a tennis ball. After airdropping, it is lowered to the target height and then decomposed in the air. The sub-bombs are spread to the wide-range ground to cause regional damage.
