Chapter 291: Death of Bekaa Valley

Tan Zhenhua is by no means alarmist, because if history continues along the same trajectory, then the fifth Middle East war will break out the day after tomorrow, that is, June 4, 1982.
The fuse of the war has already been lit.
Established in 1964, the Barrestan Liberation Organization has been active in the Lebanon region. It is an important force in the entire Arab world to resist Israel. After growing, it intervened in the civil war in Lebanon and gained the upper hand, and even controlled including it. Most areas including the capital Beirut.
And this is absolutely intolerable to Issa.
So, on this day in history, Isaac launched a long-planned attack.
The war lasted for more than three months. The one side participating in the war was Issa, and his opponent was of course the alliance of the PLO and Syria.
As for the result, it is known in past history that the Israeli army won a big victory, the PLO survived, and Syria suffered heavy losses.
After this war, Isaac completely established its regional hegemony in the Middle East, and the Arab world never had the strength and courage to fight against it.
The reason why Tan Zhenhua has such a deep memory of this war is because of one of the famous battles.
Battle of the Bekaa Valley.
The Bekaa Valley is located in the central region of Lepernen, between the West Lepernen Mountains and the former Lepernen Mountains. Since 1981, the Syrian army has deployed a large number of air defense forces mainly composed of Soviet-made "Sam-6" air defense missiles to the Bekaa Valley to defend against possible air strikes by the Israeli Air Force.
"Sam-6" is a mobile all-weather mid-to-short-range, mid-to-low-altitude missile weapon system developed by Soviet Russia, with an effective range of 5-25 kilometers. The guidance radar uses multi-band and multi-frequency operation, and has certain anti-jamming capabilities. It adopts solid-impact combined engine and is the first missile in the world to use a new engine.
During the Fourth Middle East War, this kind of missile had made great achievements. The Israeli Air Force was shot down by the Arab coalition. 114 planes were shot down. 41 of them were destroyed by this kind of missile. Such a nursery rhyme: "Aunt Sam ascended to heaven, Uncle Sam landed."
Therefore, this "Sam-6" missile position group in the Bekaa Valley has always been regarded as a confidant by Isaac.
On June 8, the Israeli Air Force’s two RF-4C reconnaissance aircraft equipped with APQ-99 forward-looking radar, APQ-102 side-view radar and AAS-18A infrared line scanner first launched the first to the bottom of Beka Valley in the western foothills of Mount Libernen. During the investigation, one of the planes was shot down by the Syrian army on the spot, and the other one returned to the station fortunately and brought the results of the investigation back.
The Israeli army discovered and marked 19 surface-to-air missile positions in Syria based on the results of the investigation. And this result also unfolded Death's sickle.
At 14:12 pm on June 9, the Israeli army started a large-scale air strike.
Different from the previous combat model, this time it is no longer a fighter that is playing forward, but two types of drones named "Scout" and "Dog Trainer".
Among them, the "reconnaissance" is an unmanned aerial vehicle that is responsible for investigating the Syrian missile positions and intercepting its radar spectrum characteristics; while the "training dog" is an unmanned target drone equipped with a "corner reflector" to simulate fighter radar signals.
These two cheap drones swept over the bottom of the Bekaa Valley like locusts, deceiving the Syrian army's fire control radars one after another.
However, this time, the outstanding "Sam-6" missiles hit only a bunch of plastic parts.
Moreover, with the start of the fire control radar, the Syrian army inevitably exposed their position and spectrum signals.
The Israeli E2C "Eagle Eye" early warning aircraft hovering in mid-air beyond the range of the "Sam-6" missile received the signals sent by the "reconnaissance" and passed them to within the range of the "Sam-6" missile attack. Outside the low-altitude F-4 "Phantom" fighter group ready to launch, the latter immediately climbed and launched the AGM-45 "Mockingbird" anti-radiation missile.
The radars of 19 missile positions were named and killed one after another, and none of them were spared. All the "Sam" missile positions suddenly fell into chaos.
Because they were "blind".
Afterwards, the A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft with heavy laser-guided bombs flew slowly by the side, and dropped them in the painful and desperate eyes of the Syrian soldiers on the "Sam" missile position. All 288 All "Sam-6" missiles were buried in the fire and smoke rising from the bottom of the Bekaa Valley, and none was spared.
In just 6 minutes, the Syrian army spent 10 years and spent more than 2 billion U.S. dollars to build the ultra-luxury air defense positions.
Of course, the Syrian army could not accept such a defeat. The fighter group consisting of 62 "MiG 21" and "MiG 23" took off to meet their enemy with immense anger and determination of revenge.
Unfortunately, their opponent is the Israeli military fleet composed entirely of the latest metric fighters.
Commanded by the E2C "Eagle Eye" early warning aircraft, the support fleet composed of Boeing 707 electronic jammers not only fully grasped the movements of the Syrian army's fleet from takeoff, but also successfully cut off the communication between the Syrian army's ground command system and the fighters. The connection is to interfere with the weak radar system on the "MiG" plane, leaving only a piece of snow.
This is not a battle, but a long-planned, one-sided massacre!
The Israeli "F-15" and "F-16" fighters calmly killed the Syrian troops who were at a loss as headless flies in the sky.
In this battle alone, the Syrian army was shot down 30 aircraft, but the Israeli army did not lose any!
However, this is not the end.
On the night of June 9, the revenge-eager Syrian army stationed seven "Sam" missile companies overnight into the Bekaa Valley and once again deployed air defense positions.
However, the air force launched another offensive the next day, and these seven new positions were wiped out in an instant.
Unwilling to fail, the Syrian army took off 52 "MiG" fighters to intercept the Israeli air force. Unfortunately, this time it was even worse.
The heroic Syrian pilots shot down 14 Israeli fighters, but all 52 of their own fighters were shot down and none were spared.
On June 11, Syria, which suffered heavy losses and could not stand to fight again, announced that it would withdraw from the battle and the entire army had withdrawn from the Lepernen region. So far, the Israeli army has won a great victory and has never encountered a large-scale institutional resistance.
The air combat in the Bekaa Valley is called "the beginning of modern air combat", just as the war between Britain and Argentina is called "the beginning of modern naval combat". The two battles that took place in 1982 have been forever remembered in the history of world wars and have an unshakable status.
There has been a saying in Tan Zhenhua’s previous life on the Internet. In summary, it is the so-called "The first Gulf War in 1991 was the external motivation and starting point for the Chinese army to move towards modernization and reform."
However, as a military industry practitioner who has experienced this period of history, and an explorer engaged in cutting-edge scientific research such as military radar and electronic systems, he deeply knows that he has opened the eyes of the Chinese military and military research personnel. They were completely liberated from the shackles of the traditional "human sea tactics", and they began to explore a series of new tactics and the opportunities and buds of the development of corresponding equipment. In fact, it was the two military histories that took place in 1982. Of the battle.
However, these are all the little secrets that Tan Zhenhua is not worthy of being an outsider, and the topic of today's conversation is not only about war, but also about money.
So he replied solemnly: "Yes, right there, the fifth Middle East war is about to break out!"
