Chapter 1221 Destroy 3 Divisions in a Row

In the headquarters of the 262nd Assault Battalion, Benjamin looked at the latest battle damage report with piercing eyes.

According to the report, the two formed infantry divisions were simultaneously hit by a violent airstrike by the Iraqi-Syrian Federation ten minutes ago. be destroyed.

These two attacks caused great losses, not only a large number of casualties, but also the equipment and ammunition depots of the two self-propelled howitzer battalions were all accurately destroyed. There were not many armored vehicles and a large number of fast assault vehicles left.

At present, there are still ammunition exploding in the camps of the two infantry divisions. The whole scene is a bit horrible.

These two infantry divisions were expanded from the original reserve forces, and they were not the ace troops in the main battle. Compared with the overall combat effectiveness of the Israel Defense Forces, the impact was not too great.

But for the current morale of the army, it is still a heavy blow that cannot be ignored.

Because these two infantry divisions were all accurately hit by the Iraqi-Syrian Federation air force under camouflage, those ground camouflage against the air seemed to lose all their effects.

What really made Benjamin feel heavy was the third report in his hand. The battle damage data on this report all came from the ace main force of the active Israeli army-the Mountain Division.

So far, the Israel Defense Forces has only one division-level unit dedicated to mountain warfare, which is the best integrated unit in the entire Israel Defense Forces for mountain warfare.

Originally, this mountainous area was the battlefield of this mountain division, but no one thought that this elite mountain division had completely lost its combat effectiveness without firing a single shot.

The two field artillery battalions of the Mountain Division have completely become a thing of the past, and all the helicopters belonging to the Mountain Division have been destroyed in the camouflaged hangar.

The headquarters of the Mountain Division and all the main military bases were bombed with devastating force. This kind of precise and targeted bombing caused the Mountain Division to suffer huge casualties the moment the bombing started.

According to the most optimistic estimate at present, less than half of the soldiers in this mountain division who are still able to fight are left after deducting the logistics personnel.

It can almost be said that the mountain division of the Israel Defense Forces has completely lost its ability to fight.

The reduction in personnel reached half, and the equipment was almost destroyed. With such a huge loss, in the war, it can already be declared that this unit has lost its combat effectiveness.

Although soldiers can fight with guns, after losing all main battle equipment and rapid support capabilities, in modern warfare, especially in large-scale field confrontations, that little combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

Because it is impossible for the opponent to give you the opportunity to fight close combat and bayonet. Once a war breaks out, you will face shells and tanks or helicopters and fighter jets, not a group of infantry who are charging ahead.

In just ten minutes, the three main division-level troops in the southeast, north, and south directions all lost their main combat capabilities.

The Israeli Army Command was naturally extremely annoyed. If it weren't for the opponent's special forces still able to operate in their own rear, such losses would have been impossible.

The air force of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation is not a god. Under good camouflage, it is extremely difficult to find the troops stationed behind the camouflage. Without the precise guidance of eyes on the ground, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation's air force attack could not have been so smooth.

And within this group of mountainous areas covering an area of ​​about 1,000 square kilometers, the hidden 100,000 troops are actually very scattered, even if the Iraq-Syria Federation conducts high-intensity firepower strikes on this mountainous area.

Even if hundreds of thousands of shells are poured down a day, it will not help. There are various places between the mountains that can avoid the ballistics of the shells, such as reverse slopes.

If it's an air strike, then you don't have to be afraid. Even if all the air forces of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation are invested in a square kilometer area, and carry out carpet bombing, the effect will be negligible.

This is also why the Israel Defense Forces can safely and boldly gather their troops in this mountainous area, because it can almost be said to be the safest place in Israel at present.

Coupled with the existence of the 262 Assault Battalion, it can ensure that even if the enemy's special forces infiltrate, they can launch anti-special operations in the first place.

But I didn't expect that all the ideas were very good, but the result was so unsatisfactory.

The camouflage and concealment of the troops is indeed quite excellent, but in terms of anti-special operations, they have not yet made achievements.

In just ten minutes, three division-level troops were destroyed, which was a loss of tens of thousands of people.

He didn't even encounter the enemy, and didn't even have a chance to shoot, so he was erased from the list of the main combat troops.

How does this make the Israeli military's high-level command not angry? The angry group army command directly sent the preliminary battle damage report to Benjamin.

Otherwise, it is unknown how many troops will be destroyed by the air superiority of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation if we continue.

Now the special forces of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation are already a sharp knife hanging over the head of every Israeli soldier, and this sharp knife has fallen several times, killing too many people.

At this time, Benjamin's inner pressure was also unprecedented, not only from the pressure from his own superior, but also from the pressure from being responsible to his comrades in arms.

No one knows better than him how terrifying the combat power that special forces can display is.

I'm afraid it only takes one day, and all the troops above the division level in the entire mountain area will be severely damaged. The war has already been defeated before it even started.

Defeating opponents before the war has even begun is what makes special forces terrible, and it's not just empty talk.

"General, what should we do now? The other party won't be fooled at all." Aras asked Benjamin anxiously.

"We came to lure the snake out of the hole, and the other party also responded with the same tactic. They came to force us to show up, and we had no way not to show up. If we didn't show up, there would be more regular troops who were lured by them. The incoming fighter jets will be wiped out."

Benjamin took a deep breath. It was the most critical time to make a decision, and he had no second choice at all. Although he was not reconciled, he could only give an order: "Send out all the teams, lead all the scouts, Search the entire mountainous region." (To be continued.):
