Chapter 660 Syria declares war
This time, Türkiye mobilized more than 20,000 troops to launch a siege war on the periphery of the city of Diyabakir.
Tanks were moving towards the city, and the accompanying infantry followed behind the tanks one after another. Compared with the raucous Kurdish armed forces, the Turkish army was the lion brigade that had been tested by the war!
The Kurdish-armed T-55 tanks were all used as fixed turrets and set up ambush on the streets. Originally, although this tank was outdated, it could still block the Turkish army. Unfortunately, the Kurdish tankers were quite unfamiliar. They often built clever positions and the shells shot out could not hit the opponent. After that, the opponent's tanks would use more fierce artillery fire to fight back!
In street fighting, tanks are not omnipotent. The Kurds faced the Turkish attack and burst out with the greatest fighting enthusiasm. They were familiar with the city. They could get to the side of the Turks at any time and then use RPG to strike the sides of the opponent's tank.
Tanks were destroyed during the attack, and a soldier fell into a pool of blood, fighting like a street fight, meat grinders, ruthlessly devouring the lives of the soldiers on both sides.
Although the cost is high, the Turks are still moving forward! After several days of street fighting, they finally suppressed the Kurds' armed forces in a quarter of the urban area, and the Kurds are unable to fly!
Elgin breathed a sigh of relief. Although his own casualties were a bit serious, it was also a good result to be able to successfully surround the Kurds' main force and eliminate them once and for all!
At this time, the NATO meeting had ended, and Evron returned to Türkiye. The meeting was noisy but gained nothing. Although the United States tried hard to mediate, no agreement was reached in the end!
Evren knew that Greece had not given up at all, and they were still dreaming of regaining northern Cyprus! Therefore, Turkey must eliminate domestic rebellions as soon as possible so as not to give the Greeks a chance! The Greeks are now attacking the Americans in the face, but if the battle in Cyprus continues to delay, the Greeks will definitely take risks!
Evren continued to mobilize new troops and devoted himself to the battle in Diyabakir City! He tried to end the entire battle in the shortest time.
However, he didn't expect that the nightmare had just begun!
In November 1981, the weather in the Middle East began to turn colder, and the situation in Turkey was in severe turmoil.
On the 3rd of this month, the Syrian government in southern Turkey, President Hafiz Assad, the Middle East lion, issued a tough statement, strongly condemning the Turkish government's gap project! Until now, the Turkish government still does not repent and continues to promote the project. Moreover, it has reached a cooperation agreement with the British government! This behavior of disregarding the water source security of downstream countries and only caring for its own interests is a declaration of war for downstream countries! The Syrian government will never watch this situation occur! Syria decides to declare war on Turkey! Protect the water source security of its upstream countries!
Historically, many wars broke out due to the water source problem. This time, Turkey maliciously built water conservancy projects in the upper reaches of the Mesopotamian Basin, completely ignoring the lives and deaths of the downstream countries, which led to Syria's declaration of war on Turkey! Almost at the same time, under the siege of the United States, the crumbling Baghdadri and Iraqi President Kusse also issued a tough statement and declared war on Turkey at the same time! Moreover, a battalion of troops was sent to attack with the Syrian army!
Historically, local conflicts, known as the hydropower war in the Mesopotamia, finally broke out.
Syria has suffered too many shames in later generations! After the death of Old Assad, the young Assad succeeded to the throne, with various veterans preventing reforms, and various extremist organizations continued to emerge with the support of the West. As a result, Syria's domestic political situation was unstable, and extremist organizations appeared in the north. Finally, Turkey also used the excuse to crack down on it and openly acted as a might on Syria's territory.
That is all in later generations, and now, Syria is still a powerful country!
Under the rule of Old President Assad, Syria is one of the most powerful countries in the Middle East! They have hundreds of thousands of troops! They have first-class Soviet weapons! Moreover, in several conflicts with Israel, the Syrian army was not at a disadvantage!
Now, the Syrian army has been ready. In order to eliminate domestic rebellions, the Turkish government has continuously drawn the guards on the border line, and the border line is already very empty!
So, it is the time for Syria to attack at this time!
The armored special forces division of the Syrian Republic Guard took the lead in kicking off Turkey's national gate! The latest T-72 tanks drove towards Türkiye in the north!
In fact, since Turkey announced the gap project without knowing how to do it, Syria has already breathed a sigh of relief! At the same time, the Soviet government has given the greatest support, including the comprehensive replacement of new weapons for the Syrian army, such as the army and the most elite armored division, which has fully replaced the latest T-72 tanks!
This is not the monkey-style model exported in history! This is the same as the one exported to Iraq. It is completely a model used by the Soviet Union, including advanced armor-piercing bombs, etc. This tank is enough to beat the advanced tanks made by the American system, not to mention the Turkish army's m60 products!
The Syrian Air Force has also replaced the most advanced MiG29 fighter jets, which are comparable to Türkiye's latest F-16 fighter jets!
In the Middle East, which country's army is the most capable of fighting? It's not Iraq, but Syria! Now, with the full support of the Soviet Union, Syria has replaced it with a large number of advanced weapons, full of confidence, and a powerful torrent of armor advances towards the north!
Türkiye's border troops fled without a single shot!
The Syrian army was divided into three routes, and the east attacked from Kamishli to the north, the middle route went north from Kara to the north, and the south route went north from Aleppo to the north, and the three routes led straight in!
In just one day, the army in the middle route rushed to the auspicious city of Shanle Urfa on the Turkish border. The city with empty troops surrendered without much resistance after seeing the powerful armored troops in Syria!
The west of Chanel Ulfa is the slowly flowing Euphrates River! This water and electricity war in Syria is quite reasonable!
At the same time, in Shanle Ulfar, Syria has gained unexpected gains, with a large amount of logistics supplies, food and ammunition from the Americans! (To be continued.)
