Chapter 1236: American War Analysis
The war between the Iraqi-Syrian Federation and Israel is a war that is highly concerned by countries all over the world. Bayi Chinese ≦≤≤≤≤﹤﹤≦
The reason is extremely simple. This is a highly technological and militarized war confrontation since the history of human wars, and it is also a war that can be called a symmetrical war.
Although in the early days of the war, Israel lost its air and sea control, but Israel still has extremely strong ground combat capabilities by virtue of its own perfect equipment and well-trained ground troops. Renhe's advantage.
In this war, the two sides fully demonstrated the modern warfare model that countries are exploring and discussing.
However, when the war lasted, the whole world saw a somewhat different war pattern.
The large-scale artillery clusters that rarely appear in modern warfare have appeared again.
It is undeniable that artillery shells can be called cheap compared to the cost of modern warfare.
Under air superiority, the large-scale use of artillery groups can greatly reduce the cost of war. At least the ground forces can meet their own fire support without relying too much on the support of the air force.
It's just that in this war, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation once again showed the firepower cluster in front of the world, giving people the feeling that it is more like the battlefield of World War II.
It is completely dense firepower coverage, and it seems that there is no technological content at all.
But in the eyes of all insiders, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation's approach is very reasonable and the most practical means of war.
In the face of Israel's homeland defense plan, if it is really unreasonable to use the lives of soldiers to fill the defense of the Israeli army.
Under the right advantage, it is very suitable to use artillery on a large scale and use cheap shells to effectively attack opponents.
It's just that the intensive bombardment of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation feels more like a waste of ammunition, a blind attack, and there is no rules at all.
However, in the eyes of all military intelligence analysts in the United States, the purpose of the Iraq-Syria Federation is clearly targeted.
The biggest pertinence among them is to destroy the civil air defense projects in the old city as much as possible.
Civil air defense projects are also called civil air defense fortifications.
It refers to the underground protective buildings built separately to ensure the shelter of personnel and materials in wartime, civil air defense command, and medical rescue, and the basement built in combination with ground buildings that can be used for air defense in wartime. The civil air defense project is an important facility to prevent sudden enemy attacks, effectively cover personnel and materials, and preserve war potential; it is an engineering guarantee to persist in urban combat and long-term support for anti-aggression wars until victory.
The civil air defense project in Jerusalem, after Israel seized the city from the Palestinians, set off a civil air defense project construction that lasted more than ten years.
With the help of the undulating landform of the city of Jerusalem and the combination of high and low, various civil air defense projects were designed and constructed.
In fact, the underground industrial kingdom in Marin City, strictly speaking, is also a civil air defense project.
Civil air defense engineering is not a simple construction of underground defense facilities, but all have professional requirements.
Air-raid shelters for civilians are the simplest and most basic civil air defense projects.
The country with the most civil air defense projects in the world is the United States. Of course, during the Cold War, in order to avoid possible nuclear strikes by the Soviet Union, all cities and towns in the United States had a large number of civil air defense projects, mainly air-raid shelters.
In Jerusalem, air-raid shelters are everywhere, and there are many other types of civil defense projects.
All these civil air defense projects are required to be able to withstand shocks and explosions of sufficient strength, and there are even nuclear weapon defense projects.
In these civil air defense projects, it can be divided into command communication, personnel shelter, hospital, ambulance station, warehouse, garage and so on.
Unlike all peaceful countries in the world, Israel has never regarded these civil air defense projects as peacetime economic construction projects, and has never opened these civil air defense projects to the outside world.
Even most Israelis don't know where the exits of these civil air defense projects are, and they can only access simple civil air defense facilities such as air-raid shelters.
In terms of the relationship between the United States and Israel, the United States has not even known to this day how far the civil air defense project under Jerusalem has been built, and no complete drawings have been released. This has always been a high-level secret of the Israeli military.
The United States believes that the Iraqi-Syrian Federation must be preventing these Israeli civil defense projects. After all, if one thinks that there are many enemies hidden under the city that can appear on the ground at any time to fight back, no one will be at ease.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Americans, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation's carpet bombardment of the old city destroyed a large number of houses. The biggest purpose was to conceal the exit of the civil air defense project in this area of the old city and bury it with collapsed buildings.
Otherwise, the competition for the commanding heights in the old city will be endless.
It is even entirely possible that a large number of Israeli troops suddenly appeared in the rear of the army's attack, which would be a disaster for the attacking army.
In fact, as analyzed by American military analysts, in the battle for Jerusalem, in Cai Ruichen's view, the biggest problem is not conventional urban warfare, but dealing with these civil defense projects.
Among all countries in the world, there are not many countries that have the economy, time and energy to build civil air defense projects.
Among all the countries in the Middle East and Africa, only a few countries have a certain scale of civil air defense projects.
Iran's civil air defense project has only started to be built in recent years, which has been decades since the Israeli Bowl.
In almost all cities in Israel, there are various civil air defense projects. The more important the city is, the more confidential and complicated the construction of civil air defense projects will be.
At present, Cai Ruichen does not know what the civil air defense project in Jerusalem looks like, nor does he have any drawings, and basically knows nothing about those hidden civil air defense project exits.
The only information he has now is a relatively simple number, 1,200 kilometers. The total length of all civil defense projects in Jerusalem and its vicinity has reached an astonishing 1,200 kilometers.
Although this figure is much smaller than the more than 3,000 kilometers of civil air defense projects in his hometown of Shanghai, you must know that the area occupied by Jerusalem is not even as large as a district in his hometown of Shanghai.
This is also one of the reasons why Cai Ruichen has to be vigilant. Of course, there is another important reason. So far, the main combat force of the Israeli ground forces has not yet appeared. (To be continued.)
