"Using Arab nationalism to suppress pan-pacifism, it seems that this move is the right move." Serov, who was driving in the desert, was surrounded by engineers and soldiers from the Soviet Union entering northern Iraq. In terms of protecting himself, he didn't need anyone to remind him that the 11,000-strong Soviet engineer and corps had no power to defeat them in the Middle East.

  Engineering troops are common in socialist countries. The engineering troops of the Soviet Union also shoulder important missions and carry out production and construction in the country. There are three main things that happened recently. When will the war end? Warsaw Pact joint combat exercises, the confrontation between the Soviet Red Navy and the United States Navy.

The first problem is naturally that the Soviet Union, Syria and Greece began to withdraw their troops after destroying the Turkish military power. Before withdrawing, they would try to help the Kurds build an army of 200,000 people to defend themselves, and also serve as the Soviet Union and Turkey. buffer area. In terms of light weapons, the Soviet Union is not lacking at all. The Soviet Union's assault rifles can be said without hesitation. Now let's take out the assault rifles in the arsenal, which are enough to arm one tenth of the Soviets.

The problem lies in the heavy weapons. Even if the annual output of Soviet tanks has hit record highs in recent years, it will not be able to supplement the Kurds for a while. To support an army in a short period of time, it may be necessary to abolish a part of the army, and then put it back together. Arms to the Kurds. If this plan fails, I believe Ustinov will be very busy this year. The army equipment of the Greek Defense Forces is not very good in the eyes of the Soviet Union. It is necessary to replace American weapons with Soviet weapons.

This is the armament of the 400,000 armed forces. In addition, the Soviet Union and Syria also lost a little when they sent troops. Military production may be expanded. As for the captured Turkish and American equipment to the Kurds, this option has never been considered. The valuable weapon the Soviet Union It will be pulled back to the country for research, and the worthless Soviet Union is ready to be sold to other neutral countries. If no one wants it, it will be destroyed.

The    Warsaw Pact joint combat exercise may be to avoid stimulating NATO. The countries that eventually participated in the exercise were determined to be Eastern European countries other than the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union only dispatched the air force to participate in the exercise, and the Eastern European cluster and the Ukraine and Belarus military regions would not participate. The Soviet Ministry of Defense also wanted to see if the Warsaw Pact friends could still fight after leaving the Soviet Red Army.

  The number of troops participating in the exercise is 300,000 people, including the People's Armies of various countries. The exercise location is set in Poland, and Yugoslavia, Iraq, Egypt, Iraq and Syria will send observers to observe the progress of the exercise.

   "But the name of this exercise is West 74? Wouldn't it be too obvious." Serov, who was rocking back and forth in the jeep, saw a very strange feeling in his heart when he saw the exercise code. The codenames of the Soviet exercises have always been quite straightforward, with NATO being the West, Asia's exercises being the East, and naval exercises being the Ocean Series. The names are pretty straightforward...

This Western 74 military exercise, which is about to start, is definitely incomparable to the Western 81 exercise that the Soviet Union personally participated in in history. In fact, the Soviet Union does not need to use military exercises to show its presence. It is rude to say that the Soviet Union is now in the world. The sense of presence is overwhelming, unless the enemy is blind and does not see the Soviet Union fighting in Turkey.

   "Dad, it seems like we're here. The local Kurds say it's almost here." The convoy stopped slowly, and a very young man came over and said, "Are we going to start now?"

"Oh, let's investigate the surrounding terrain first, without special corpse destruction, it shouldn't be difficult to find it based on the experience of our engineers!" Shelov looked at the other party for a while, and then remembered that he had been taking over the order for a long time, and used it to Putting down the book to relieve boredom, he pushed open the door of Gaz's car, stepped on the soft ground with one foot, and looked around blankly, "This place is really not good, it's almost October and it's still the same temperature, let comrades pay attention to the problem of heat stroke. ."

Occasionally, a whirlwind rolls up a column of yellow sand and lifts up into the sky, and there is an inexplicable quiet atmosphere. Sometimes there is a strong wind, flying sand and rocks, and the momentum seems to destroy the entire nature under its power, which is daunting and helpless Walking into the Gobi Desert is like entering a primitive wilderness, full of desolation and lifeless. However, in order to find water sources, the Ephedra Roots deeply rooted in the coarse sand and gravel.

Thinking of the desert scenery he read in his previous life, Serov felt unmoved and even wanted to laugh. If he were asked to summarize this, it would actually be more concise, and there was no need for the vocabulary of chicken soup for the soul. In a nutshell, it was very in line with his feelings towards young and old. The definition of a poor area is simply not a place where people live.

"Let some comrades install tents, and we will start working tomorrow. Don't let those Kurds go, we haven't found a place yet." Serov was very uncomfortable with his military boots stepping on the sand here, and he gave orders with one foot and one foot. .

He won't be going back to Moscow recently, and he can't explain it to the empress at home, so he rushed here and avoided it for a while. Erwin is not a safe place. In case Varya is happy with the name of the Ministry of Education Come here, he really has nothing to do. The last telegram, Her Majesty the Queen, already had this intention.

"Is archaeology more suitable for me than commanding operations?" Serov sat on the ground and experienced the life of the nomads. General Mustafa's people sent a lot of sheep, which will be sent to the Soviet Union tomorrow. . Although these muttons were not to his taste, he didn't need to struggle too much between being hungry and eating.

  The motherland was at war, and he was a general political commissar who came to do civil engineering, and he always felt a little unprofessional. But this job is very suitable for him. He has a common language with the Americans in commanding the war. In short, he does not conflict with any major powers. Medium countries also need to find opportunities. If possible, he is very willing to work in Malta. , San Marino and these countries show what is called social imperialism.

It is best that his opponents are beggars, and there are no cold weapons even for robbing. Such opponents can make him feel the feeling of number one in the world. It is a pity that there are no weak countries next to the Soviet Union. Let the United States demonstrate its imperialist hegemony in the world.

   Serov, who was struggling with the roast leg of lamb, was thinking about the geographical factor again. He has to distract himself, otherwise he's afraid that he won't be able to eat it, it's too stinky...

   For modern warfare, the performance of equipment has exceeded human adaptability, so at the Soviet Southern Theater Command in Erwin, the chosen breakthrough point was night warfare. This may cause some accidental injuries, but the Turkish soldiers face the same disadvantage.

Flare bombs are just consumables for the Soviet Union. During the Great Patriotic War, Soviet soldiers were already familiar with this kind of thing. It was still at night, and the air force was first dispatched. The huge group of Soviet bombers once again visited Kahraman. Maras, formerly known as Maras, is a city in central-eastern Turkey and the capital of Kahraman Maras Province.

  A highland beside the Marash Ceyhan River controls the three mountain passes of the Taurus Mountains. It is an important communication route between Anatolia and Syria. Marash City, which is on the high ground, has a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Syrian government forces, whose combat effectiveness is not higher than Turkey, were hindered when they advanced here.

  This is the end point in Hafez Assad's plan, but it must be conquered, otherwise Turkey may go south to take back the land occupied by Syria at any time in the future. Now the Syrian army has grown to 150,000 people, including the Fourth Armored Division led by Hafez al-Assad's younger brother.

What makes Hafiz al-Assad more angry is that he still needs the help of the Soviet Union to make progress, which is not in line with his character, he wants to be treated as an equal with the Soviet Union, Syria must have its own value, but the Syrian army let him Disappointed time and time again.

   This is also related to Syria's hasty preparations. The war against Turkey is purely a temporary initiative, not like preparing for Israel for so long, so when they arrived in Marash City, the Syrian government forces could not make progress.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, the Soviet bomber group under the **** of the aviation division was fully loaded with incendiary bombs and appeared over Marash. The appearance of the Soviet bomber group was immediately discovered by the Turkish military defending Marash. Over the city, high-power searchlights shine directly into the dark sky. Guided by searchlights, antiaircraft artillery units search for the invading Soviet air force.

   Originally, the Turks did not need such means during World War II, but who made the Soviets shamelessly raid Turkey and killed Turkey's modern anti-aircraft missiles in one go, and now Turkish soldiers can only settle for the next best thing.

  Unfortunately, the Soviet bomber group started throwing incendiary bombs outside the range of the anti-aircraft artillery. The incendiary bombs dropped from a high altitude landed on the ground and caused a huge explosion, simultaneously igniting everything in their path. Rivers of flames formed on the heights of Marash City.

While the Soviet Air Force was in the gap, the Syrian artillery unit took a little discovery and concentrated more than 700 artillery pieces on the Turkish positions in Marash City for more than an hour. Even after the Soviet Air Force had left, the shelling continued. .

   At the same time, the Greek coalition forces on the island of Cyprus were also doing the same thing. Under the shelling, they began to organize an attack, wanting to annihilate the Turkish troops that had become a lonely army. "Long live Greece, long live Cyprus..."

"Long live Syria, long live President Assad." The infantry behind the cover of more than 700 tanks of three Syrian armored divisions began to attack. In terms of scale, Assad completely issued a death order. Under this pressure, Syria The attack of the 150,000 troops was completely a group charge. The Turkish soldier, who was lucky enough to survive, smelled the smell of barbecue and was horrified to see the group charge launched by the Syrians. There were Syrian soldiers everywhere, and he couldn’t even take aim. . (To be continued~^~)
