Chapter 3588: Crisis is coming

"Is it impossible?" Carrian said aloud.
"Nothing is impossible. Actually, the situation is very bad now. Not only the town of Drumman, but also the town of Kadar is not so good. Are you unable to contact the defenders of Kadar town?" Lin Rui Asked.
"Yes, communication has been interrupted for a few hours." The Canavian soldier nodded.
Lin Rui nodded, "That's right. The Orumi Federal Army has certain electronic countermeasures equipment. They can shield and interfere with the signals sent from Kadar Town. They can also shield the communication signals of Drumman Town. Within two hours of the war, we did not receive any help request. Two hours later, we suddenly received a message. This must be because Drumman Town has fallen and the headquarters has also fallen into the enemy's hands. So they will send out Signal for help. Intent to lead us out."
"What should I do?" Carrian whispered.
"You can't go anywhere." Black Panther Gure said, "Jabassi is a hilly mountainous area, and the terrain is not good for the offensive. Therefore, the Federal Army of Orumi sent an engineering battalion to try to win Jabassi. , To open a way. The Orumi Federal Army wants to lead us out, we must not be fooled."
"But are we indifferent to the help of the brothers?" A black officer hesitated.
"I'm afraid this can only be done, unless the situation is clear." Black Panther Gulei shouted back. "Not only can we not send people to support, we have to step up the deployment of positions. Set up anti-tank roadblocks. They have no heavy tanks, only some light armored vehicles. We must deploy certain armored roadblocks at the front of the position."
"But where do we have anti-tank roadblocks?" Carrian shook his head.
"There are no anti-tank roadblocks. You can blow up nearby rocks and block the road with huge stones. The trenches dug before are widened and made into anti-tank trenches. The Olumian State Army should have no heavy tanks, most of them just Wheeled armor, even with a small number of light-tracked tanks, is small in size, lacks power and maximum climbing, and cannot be crossed normally." Black Panther Gulei immediately replied, "General, I need all of your people to mobilize, together To complete this task, in addition, all the bazookas will be distributed to each platoon."
"But even if we widen the trench now, it may not be too late. Besides, the anti-armor trench may not be able to block the enemy's armor." Carrian said anxiously.
Black Panther Gure said in deep thought, "Not necessarily. In the Syrian-Israeli war, in order to control the Golan Heights, Syria and Israel had repeatedly fought fierce battles. After World War II, the world’s largest tank battle took place here. In the war, Israel successfully resolved the overwhelming armor superiority of Syria, and the victory was an anti-tank trench with soil and debris.
In 1973, Arab countries Egypt and Syria launched a sudden attack on Israel from both the west and the north at the same time, which opened the prelude to the fourth Middle East war. On the northern line, three Syrian armored brigades equipped with 800 new Soviet-made T-62 tanks led three Syrian infantry divisions and went straight to the Golan Heights to cover them.
This T-62 tank was equipped with the world's largest caliber tank gun and the latest infrared observer, and its armor protection was also world-class at that time. Facing the torrent of iron armor, the Israeli army defending the Golan Heights had only 60 Sherman tanks used by the US military in World War II. The strength of the weak is like the sky, and it seems that the Israeli army is inevitable.
Unexpectedly, the Syrian tank convoy, which was advancing at the maximum throttle, was blocked before a trench in the Golan Heights and was helpless.
Although the Israeli troops defending the Golan Heights are small in number and poorly equipped, they are very particular about their tactics. The anti-tank trench has a mouth width of 6 meters, a bottom width of 4 meters, and a depth of 9 meters. It seems simple, but it has a mystery: it looks old, has mystery inside, and has many innovative ways. According to the general method of constructing anti-tank trenches, the excavated soil should be piled on both sides.
However, the Israeli army went unconventionally and piled all the soil on its side, forming a soft embankment more than two meters high. This subtle and ingenious change made the Syrian army a headache: fill it with a bulldozer, because all the soil is piled on the side of the Israeli army, and the Golan Heights is a solid volcanic lava field, and the bulldozer can't move hard. There is no land to fill.
The Syrian army had no choice but to fill the tanks into the trenches. The tanks that could be filled into the trenches were only more than 2 meters high, but the trenches were 9 meters deep. Many tanks were damaged in vain, and they still could only "sigh with excitement." The Syrian army had no choice but to use tank bridge vehicles to erect the rutted bridge, but because the other end of the trench was more than two meters higher, the bridge was erected with one end high and the other low, and the high end was placed on the soft earth embankment. Go up, causing the bridge tank to sway left and right, turning into the trench without moving.
Fortunately, the fate of the tank that came over was even more tragic, because when crossing the earth embankment, the car body rose up, exposing the weak armored bottom; when it crossed the earth embankment, it exposed the fragile top and gave the Israeli army two excellent Aim and shooting opportunities became a living target for anti-tank guns.
After four days of fighting, the Syrian army not only did not advance half a step, but on both sides of the anti-tank trench, dropped 250 tanks and 260 armored vehicles. This area is known as the Valley of Tears in the Middle East. The Israeli army used an anti-tank trench in this way to successfully delay the offensive of the Syrian army and gain time for the arrival of reinforcements. When the Israeli army turned to counterattack, the bulldozers easily pushed the soil into the trenches to build earth bridges, and the support troops quickly launched the offensive.
So, nothing is absolute. We currently have the trenches we left before to use, and during the Orumi Army’s occupation, in order to defend our side attacks, more defensive trenches were excavated. These can all be used. "
"But we don't have anti-tank guns. In case the opponent really charges with armor, the suggested trenches for temporary digging may not be able to stop them." General Carrian was worried.
"The anti-armor trenches play a lagging role, rather than trying to block the opponent by the trenches. If trenches exist, the enemy's armor cannot advance at a high speed, so that we can use anti-tank equipment to hit the enemy's armor more easily, and the trenches It can also ambush infantry carrying explosives or Molotov cocktails, so that the enemy armor must be under the cover of the infantry to be able to advance calmly, which can greatly the enemy's assault speed." Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "Although the ability is limited, But it’s better than doing nothing here."
"Well, I'll give the order to expedite the excavation and expand the original trenches. In addition, the anti-tank weapons will be distributed in a concentrated manner. I hope everything is still too late. But I hope you are wrong." General Carrian gritted his teeth. Tao.
"I also hope we were wrong," Lin Rui replied.
