In Egypt, there was noise in the sky, and Israeli planes struck like lightning. In order to maximize efficiency, all fighter jets carried air-to-ground missiles and bombs. They first destroyed the runway, and then bombarded the ground planes with missiles and cannons.

Countless anti-aircraft missiles received early warning from the Egyptian side rushed straight into the sky, hoping to wipe out the incoming Israeli air force on the way to attack.

King Fouad II of Egypt was taken aback by the news of the outbreak of war. "We must let other Arab countries know about this news."

The advantage of having good food, at least Fuad II will not be like Nasser. I really feel that I have the advantage. At the critical moment, His Majesty the King was really obedient, and immediately informed the other countries of the Arab League about the news that Israel provoked the war.

The first thousand and 450 chapters nine four countries join the war

When Fuad II heard the news that the war had broken out in the Egyptian Summer Palace, he was inevitably panicked. His flustered appearance made Prince Munam sigh secretly, and then he saw a scene that puzzled him .

The young king took out a document and ordered after a while, "I will return to Cairo immediately. Before I leave, I will issue an order to order the navy to dispatch all missile boats and declare to the outside world that Israel and Egypt are at war. Please avoid neutral countries."

"Order in my name that Egypt conduct a national mobilization." Fuad II put the document in his arms and issued such a royal order, "At the same time, he appeals to the international community that the Suez Canal is at risk of being affected by war. Society can put pressure on Israel, even if it buys a day or even a few hours of reaction time."

Over the various bases in northern Egypt, anti-aircraft missiles are emitting huge tail flames and galloping towards the incoming Israeli air force, but only a small part of the air base responded. Before the war broke out, Israel’s radio waves from Egypt Listening has never stopped.After a long period of listening, Israel discovered that at about 10:[-] every morning, Egypt's early warning radar waves disappeared, and the shutdown lasted about [-] minutes.

Is this accidental or regular?This situation aroused Israel's interest, and at the same time, Israeli spies were also operating everywhere for this, and the information soon spread to the Israeli command.

It turns out that this time is the time when the combat duty of the Egyptian Air Force and Navy commands is handed over.At this time, the radar is often shut down, and then a routine handover is performed.

As an imaginary enemy in the eyes of Israel for a long time, the habit of Egypt has become a loophole in this raid. The Israeli Air Force, which entered the Egyptian airspace, started this harvest.The Egyptian Air Force pilots who scrambled into the air gathered forty Mirage 3 fighter jets to compete with the incoming Israeli Air Force for air supremacy.

The air forces of the two countries fought fiercely over Egypt. To a certain extent, the Egyptian Air Force, which took off under the cover of anti-aircraft missiles, did so. It was very dangerous. Radar in this era was not very able to identify the enemy and our own fighters. It is not so strange that the missile is beaten down.

When the air battle was in the ascendant, the broadcasts in major cities in Egypt had already started to broadcast the broadcast that Egypt was suddenly attacked by Israel. At the same time, the royal decree of King Fuad II was broadcast. The Kingdom of Egypt announced the general mobilization of the whole country, and the navy dispatched missile boats to isolate the war. The waters, and expressed the determination to fight for a long time.

Soon, Arab countries and other countries in the world received news of the outbreak of war in the Middle East. British Foreign Secretary Patrick beat his chest when facing a question in the House of Commons, "We have done everything possible to prevent the outbreak of war, and even expressed the United States' view that the Arab The alliance is too much. Britain's position is consistent, and the two sides should resolve the issue within the framework of the United Nations according to the [-] border."

"But we must remind both warring parties of the importance of the Suez Canal to the European economy." After expressing his appeal for peace, Foreign Secretary Patrick talked about the importance of the Suez Canal to European countries. "Egypt and the United Kingdom have an alliance. Once the Suez Canal Under threat, Britain has the right to defend European interests."

Whitehall NO.70, the Office of the Secretary-General of the Cabinet, Wick is handing over the latest public responses to the supreme authority of the Kingdom of Egypt, "That's all for the time being."

"A very reasonable response." Alan Wilson said without any surprise, what is unexpected, the general mobilization ordered by Fuad II, the missile boats dispatched to isolate the warring waters, use the Suez Canal to win support, and immediately contact the Arabs It was expected that allied countries would get in touch.

It's like when elementary school students cheat on exams, they often think of passing notes, which is not surprising.Only Egypt has this treatment, because the Suez Canal is really important.

"Hello, Syria and Jordan were also under air strikes?" Alan Wilson, who picked up the phone, nodded into the microphone, "Understood."

After putting down the phone, Wick said, "Secretary-General, it seems that the Israeli Air Force has already taken an overwhelming advantage."

"We don't know the losses of several countries yet, and ground wars are a matter of life and death." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "I don't know if the Arab countries have the fighting power of their ancestors."

"That happened hundreds of years ago." Wick disagreed. The glory of the Peace Church world has long passed, and it can even be said that there is no hope for the future visible to the naked eye.

"Don't think so, Wick. I personally respect the world of the Church of Peace." Alan Wilson shook his head, "Don't regard the present as permanent. This religion has a very strong vitality."

Today's world has a population of 40 billion, Christianity has nearly one billion people, and the Peace Church has more than 5 million. This is similar to the status of the 21st century. The two major religions are the first and second respectively.Christianity now has twice the advantage over Peace.

But in the 21st century, there are less than 20 billion Christians, and the Peace Church has [-] billion. Maybe it will be surpassed by India at some point, just like the population of a certain big country.

If there were no maps developed in the colonial era, the world would still continue the step-by-step development of the agricultural era. If you open the old world map of the fifteenth century, you can easily see that half of the world is a country of the Church of Peace. It is definitely not an exaggeration.

Half of the land in Eurasia plus North Africa is hung with the crescent flag.Europe and East Asia are the only remaining resistance forces, just like the separatist regimes on the map, and others are the orthodox dynasties.

As a religion that emerged very late, the Peace Sect can be said to be the strongest ancient religion in all aspects. If there were no colonial era, Europe and East Asia could withstand it several times, but they cannot be expected to withstand it every time.

Now that the division of these countries can be maintained with high pressure, it is difficult to guarantee that someone who is not paying attention will merge. Even if the pacifist pie promoted by Saudi Arabia is removed, the Arab nationalism that originated in Egypt has come to fruition, and Europe will not be able to stand it.

Alan Wilson clearly knew the loopholes in the Egyptian Air Force's shift change, but he did not tell Egypt. On the one hand, it was to bring the strength of the two sides closer. On the other hand, it was because the British mainly armed the Iraqi Air Force, and the Egyptian Air Force was armed by France.

In fact, it is very simple to make up for this loophole. Alternate shutdown of the radar can avoid being caught by Israel.

I don't know what kind of exchange ratio the French Mirage fighter can achieve. Alan Wilson's heart has already flown to the Sinai Peninsula, which is the focus of the Egyptian Army's defense.

More than half of the army is placed there, with a strength of more than 15. At this time, the Egyptian defenders have received news of Israel's surprise attack on Egypt. All troops have assembled, and the garrison troops have entered major cities and towns in accordance with combat instructions. As for the core areas The giant anti-aircraft tower is the core of the fortified town.

The task of the defenders of the Sinai Peninsula is to wait for the emergence of the Israeli army behind these towns with air defense towers as their cores.

At this time, the first batch of Israeli Air Force air strikes had returned home. Two hours later, the second batch of air strikes began. 160 Israeli fighter planes made a comeback, targeting the remaining four air bases and radar stations of the Egyptian Air Force. The fierce battle is in full swing, and the news of the nationwide mobilization of Egypt has spread throughout the Arab world.

Four hours after Israel's raid on Egypt, Hafiz al-Assad announced a nationwide mobilization in the Syrian capital Damascus, and the Syrian army entered a state of war, sending more troops toward the Golan Heights.

However, Hafiz Assad’s reaction was still not as quick as facing Israel’s largest border Jordan. Although the King of Jordan has not mobilized, the Jordanian army has entered a state of battle. The Jordanian army has set up defenses in the two main areas of the West Bank, north and south. position.

The northern defense zone is mainly based on the Jordan River cities such as Nablus, Tumkarm, and Jenin, and the southern defense zone is arranged along the hilly ridge from Ramallah to the south to Jerusalem and Hebron.The Jordanian army deployed eight infantry brigades and two armored brigades in the above positions.

The King of Jordan, Hussein ibn Talal, immediately asked for help from Iraq, which is controlled by his own family. The Hashemite King Faisal II of Iraq announced a few hours later, "The Iraqi army will enter Jordan. , to safeguard the security of Jordan."

The Kingdom of Iraq officially joined this war, and soon, the Iraqi Air Force began its operations, dispatching Chinese and American men with supreme authority to support the Jordanian Air Force that was resisting the Israeli Air Force.

Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq joined the war one after another, shocking the whole world. At the same time, members of the Arab League, including Libya, Morocco, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia, issued statements one after another to support Egypt's despicable act of resisting Israel's undeclared war.

The Royal Iraqi Air Force has also arrived on the battlefield and fought with the Israeli Air Force over Gaza and Jordan, providing air superiority cover for the attacked Jordanian army.

At this time in the UK, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has become the most lively place again, from the air strikes in Egypt, to the bombing of Jordan and Syria one after another, and then to the national mobilization of Egypt, followed by Syria, the raid on the Sinai Peninsula, and the fighting in Gaza. And the latest Iraqi Air Force's participation in the war has kept the British Foreign Office busy.

"The fighter jets of the Iraqi Air Force are sold by us, right?" Defense Secretary Dennis Healey met Alan Wilson and asked.

"That's right, my honorable minister." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "We don't have that type of fighter jet in service in our country, but there are four squadrons in Malaya."

"I don't know how our fighter jets are. There are rumors that the Egyptian Air Force has lost three-quarters." Dennis Healy muttered worriedly.

"I think there is no problem. I still remember some parameters. Even if it is not as good as the MiG-25, it is about the same." Alan Wilson said that there is no problem. The MiG-25 flies faster than the Israeli Sidewinder missile. The handsome man of the Iraqi Air Force, It is about the same speed as the Israeli Air Force's air-to-air missiles, and can fly at Mach [-].

The first thousand and 460 chapters smoke without injury

In fact, at that time, it was supposed to meet the double-two-five standard, but there were some problems in the development. In the end, this high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet did not meet the Mach [-] standard, so it was handed over to the Royal Iraqi Air Force. Air-to-air missiles can also fly Mach [-].

Historically, the MiG 25 was a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet with double-three standards because it had a Mach of [-] to a certain extent. It could throw away the air-to-air missiles equipped by the Israeli Air Force with a single acceleration.It has brought great shock to Israel, the United States, and even the entire free world.The Iraqi Air Force will not necessarily suffer in an air battle.

High-altitude and high-speed fighter jets are equivalent to specialized weapons, and they are particularly good at a certain place. The MiG-25 flies very fast, leaving the Israeli Air Force at a loss.

Alan Wilson doesn't think that high-altitude, high-speed fighters will definitely withdraw from the stage of history. Maybe one day in a few decades, it will come back again?

There is no unified standard for the sixth-generation fighter jets. If any country produces a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet with double-four standards, it is okay to call itself a sixth-generation fighter jet, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Why didn't the Royal Air Force equip it at that time?" Dennis Healey asked when he heard that the cabinet secretary was so optimistic about the performance of the Iraqi Air Force.

"It was cut off because of military expenditures. Manufacturing is just to accumulate manufacturing experience." Alan Wilson looked helpless, who is to blame?Wasn't it just Harold Wilson's last term?

Dennis Healey was keenly aware that if he pursued the matter, he would be held accountable to the Prime Minister and even himself, and he would not mention why the Royal Air Force was not equipped.

Because the handsome man did not officially serve in the British Royal Air Force, this fighter jet named Long Arrow Fighter in Iraq is actually more famous. Arab countries also refer to the handsome man as the Long Arrow fighter jet, which is better than NATO calling the beautiful man a fin whale. .

In terms of electronic equipment, the United Kingdom is definitely better than the Soviet Union. The backwardness of electronic equipment has already leaked clues as early as the Soviet period. However, electronic equipment in this era has not developed to an extremely important level like the 21st century. NATO didn't notice anything during the electronic jamming cover raid on Warsaw.

In general, as long as you are careful with the long arrows in the hands of the Iraqi Air Force, even if you can't do anything to the Israeli Air Force, it is not so easy for the Israeli Air Force to catch up with the Iraqi Air Force.

"Actually, it has been less than a day since the Israeli air strikes on Egypt. The beginning of the war is a time when fake news is high, and the battle reports of both sides are not credible." Who will win the final victory, no matter what, requires conclusive news from the ground battlefield.

In the heart of the supreme authority, in fact, he is also very concerned about what kind of results the Iraqi Air Force can achieve after entering the war. Not to mention that the French fighter jets have just been severely damaged, and the British fighter jets have followed suit.

Although this fighter jet is not in service in the country, and the name given by Iraq is more well-known, it is also made in the UK after all.

Naturally, it is impossible for the cabinet meeting to only discuss whether the fighter jets are useful or not. The key point is that several countries participating in the war have announced a national general mobilization. Whether it is a bluff or something, it is very dangerous anyway.

"Of course it's a bluff, but it's still dangerous." Foreign Secretary Patrick concluded with a double-headed conclusion, explaining his understanding of the current situation in the Middle East.

The public announcement of general mobilization is to deter opponents in a sense, but once some countries announce to follow up, it may lead to spiral escalation.

There is no need to find examples from other places. In Europe during the First World War, Germany, France, Russia, and Australia announced a general mobilization to each other.

"Something must be done, which will have an impact on world energy." The entire cabinet meeting was full of gentlemen's worries that world peace was at stake.

Look, every minister is so concerned about the country and the people. If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better world.

This is not like a retrograde British treasure, who is happily telling the microphone, "Whether Al Jazeera can become a TV station with great influence in the Arab world depends on this broadcast, and resolutely defends the Arab world. It is extremely important that the interest is widely heard around the world."

When Vivien Leigh put down the microphone, her daughter Suzanne wanted to ask when her mother would also run a TV station in an Arab country, which seemed to be very important.

"What's the matter, Suzanne." Vivien Leigh saw her daughter who was a little silent, and asked with caring, "Is there any difficulty recently?"

"There is no difficulty, mother, I just think you are in good condition." Suzanne replied with a smile, "Even now, you still have such a strong sense of professionalism."

"People are influenced by others." Vivien Leigh answered seriously. The main reason for her being so ambitious was because there was a man who was more ambitious.

"This is Al Jazeera. Just now Yemeni leader Nasser announced to join the war against Zionism to defend the dignity of the Arab world. Next..."

The Whitehall Cabinet Secretary's Office is waiting for the permanent undersecretaries of their ministers. They have just received the news that Yemen has joined the war.

"Yemen should be difficult to convince. Saudi Arabia or Egypt will open their own territory to march. It is impossible for Egypt to be unprepared for the Free Officers Organization, and the Saudi chiefs are also very afraid of the end of the Yemeni chief." Makins was a little surprised, "Yemen What are you going to do?"

"We have to consider a problem. Yemen's air force is not weak, especially because the Soviet Union took a fancy to Yemen's location and gave Yemen a lot of Tu-16 bombers. Yemen's air force may participate in the war, and Tim Island has an airport that can be used." Alan Wilson replied, "The Yemeni Air Force can provide air superiority cover for the Egyptian army on the Sinai Peninsula."

For Nasser, who has always advocated Arab nationalism, it is not impossible to put aside his previous suspicions and contribute to the entire Arab nation. This move may also improve relations with Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

In the Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian army had strong fortifications.The Israeli army suffered great losses due to the fierce and accurate Egyptian anti-tank artillery fire. After repeated bloody battles, the Israeli army finally approached the target step by step.Israeli tanks rushed into the urban area of ​​Arish. This small city is on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It is an important station for the railway from Gaza to the Suez Canal. Breaking through Arish is the key to the Battle of the Sinai Peninsula.

As early as the Israeli Air Force's raid on Egypt, the defenders in the Sinai Peninsula received news of the outbreak of war, and then they were ordered to enter the major settlements and stand by for help.

The attacking Israeli army had a total of 6 people, and the troops were divided into three groups and approached their respective targets, but what they did not expect was that they did not encounter the coming Egyptian army to snipe.

It even felt like entering no one's land, but after rushing into the urban area of ​​Arish, everything changed. Positional warfare is a way that no army is willing to face, and Israel is especially unwilling.

The streets extending in all directions divided each stronghold into an ideal alley battlefield. The Egyptian defenders hid in the urban area without any scruples to meet the attack of the Israeli army.I don't mind at all, turning the bustling streets of the past into a purgatory.

As for the giant anti-aircraft tower used to protect the safety of the Suez Canal, there is exactly one on the east side of the city of Arish, and it has already started to operate. It and Arish mutually cover each other and become a giant fortress to prevent Israel from advancing.

The Egyptian air force has basically been defeated, and the Israeli aircraft seem to be unmanned.In order to increase the frequency of aircraft dispatches, the time for Israeli ground crews to refuel and reload ammunition is getting shorter and shorter.Their record is that it takes 7000 minutes to fill up more than 5 liters of gasoline, and it only takes a few seconds to hang an auxiliary fuel tank. They sent batches of ghost-style planes into the sky.

Now the main task of the Israeli Air Force is to open a channel for the army to advance. Anyway, the enemy is throwing bombs towards the city of Arish without any consideration. However, when facing the Arish air defense tower, this attack surface has little effect. , On the contrary, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles equipped with the Arish air defense tower are constantly venting towards the sky, expressing their sense of existence.

In the face of the carpet bombing by the Israeli Air Force, the air defense tower stood still. The predecessor of this reinforced concrete cube with a length, width, and height of 70 meters fought until Berlin was conquered in the face of the British and American strategic bombings. At this time, it was a different country. In a different environment, the majesty still remains the same day, and the blockbuster can't shake it at all.

The time of the fall of the anti-aircraft tower depends entirely on when the king of Egypt announced the truce. After the two batches of bombing, the pilots of the Israeli Air Force could not help cursing. Smoke is not injured, but there is obviously a huge gap between destroying the target.

For Israel, time is the most precious thing. Israel cannot fight a protracted war with Arab countries. It must conquer Arish at all costs and cut off the important supply base of the Egyptian Army.

The news that Arish was fighting fiercely was also known to the people in Cairo. The people in Cairo were as powerful as the people in Chaoyang. Soon word of mouth spread that there was a giant anti-aircraft tower in Arish City, and even this giant anti-aircraft tower The tower itself was part of a supply base for the Egyptian army in the Sinai peninsula.

If the supply center is not completely occupied, the Egyptian army will not fall into a situation where even drinking water is a problem, and over Gaza, the Royal Iraqi Air Force who arrived also fought with the Israeli Air Force. This is a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet stage.

The first thousand and 460 chapters are mixed

The F4 Phantom fighter is a successful second-generation fighter, at least compared with other second-generation fighters, it is already considered an all-rounder.

Fighting is not the real situation of ghosts and Iraqi long arrows. Whether it is the ghosts piloted by the Israeli Air Force or the handsome man piloted by the Iraqi pilots, they are all weak in this respect. The ghost fighter is relatively better than the handsome man in dog fighting. So many, but only a few.

Therefore, in the skies over Gaza, the air forces of the two countries fought by flying kites, launching missiles at targets, or detecting enemy air-to-air missiles, and using speed to throw off threats.

It is impossible to expect to fly a high-altitude and high-speed fighter jet for a fierce chase, all kinds of fancy fights, and then compete for life and death. is not possible to do this.

But it cannot be said that the air combat at this point is not fierce. Even in the agricultural era, two trebuchets were very fierce. No one dared to let the flying boulder really hit.

But the consequence of this kind of air battle is that Israel lost more than 20 fighter jets in exchange for more than 30 battle results, but launched nearly [-] air-to-air missiles.

The fighter jets that the Iraqi Air Force came to support also emptied all the mounted weapons, and went directly back to China to replace the next batch of fighter jets.

At this intensity, within a week, the war mode of the two warring parties will be demonstrated in front of the whole world, what is civilization regression.Even if the United States is as wealthy as the United States, it honestly used the b52 for carpet bombing during the Vietnam War. Of course, the United States has more advanced strategic bombers, but the b52 is the most economical.

Faced with the difficulties of the Arish air defense tower and the urban area, the Israeli Ministry of Defense launched a discussion and believed that it could not continue to waste time in front of this difficult bone.

The prospect of depriving the Egyptian army in the Sinai of supplies by taking Arish was rosy, but it would not be worth the cost if it cost valuable attack time.

Israel itself is at a disadvantage in military strength. The defenders in the Sinai Peninsula are twice as large as the attacking Israeli army. Israel has no time to waste here. It is obviously not a short time to conquer Arish, an important supply base and railway hub. Israel has made adjustments, with the core purpose of annihilating Egypt's vital forces.

The setback in Arish and the participation of the Iraqi Air Force in the war caused huge losses to the Israeli Air Force, especially when so many air-to-air missiles were launched in one day.A glimmer of gloom arose in the hearts of high-level Israelis, including Mrs. Meir, and progress was not going well. If the fight continues like this, the final result may not be what Israel wants.

At this moment, the air defense alarm suddenly sounded in Tel Aviv, which surprised everyone. Could it be that the air forces of the Arab countries have penetrated into the Israeli capital?

Of course not, the Scud missile, with its unique parabola that belongs to ballistic missiles, told the Israelis that there are other things that can fly in this world besides airplanes.

In Syria behind the Golan Heights, the Scud missiles aided by the Soviet Union were used without hesitation to cleanse the faces of major cities and transportation hubs in Israel.

The use of ballistic missiles to attack cities in hostile countries originally occurred in large numbers during the Iran-Iraq War. It would not have occurred in previous Middle East wars. It was not until the end of the Fourth Middle East War that the Soviet Union considered strategic balance and provided Arab countries with Scud missiles.

Perhaps after this war, Israel will think carefully about how to deal with the threat of tactical missiles, and the Iron Dome system may enter the stage of history early.

Of the 24 Scud missile launch vehicles obtained by Syria, half of them were launched directly, which were used to strike important targets in Israel and the preparatory assembly points after mobilization.

The effect of the Scud missile launched by Syria is quite remarkable. The remarkable thing is not how high the flames of the hit target rise, nor how big the crater is made, but to let the Israelis know that there is no place in Israel now is safe.

"There are two giant anti-aircraft towers in Egypt, one at each end of the Suez Canal. Among them, the anti-aircraft tower in Arish blocked the advance of our offensive troops. Not only in the direction of Egypt, but behind the Gaza Strip controlled by Jordan, there are also similar giant anti-aircraft towers. The anti-aircraft tower, it is reported that the British have the right to manage the Suez Canal, and the Jordanian currency issue is exchanged with the two countries."

When Minister of Defense Moses Dayan spoke, the blindfold on his face moved, which also showed that the one-eyed general was not at peace.

Of course, Israel knew when this giant air defense tower was being built, otherwise it would have looked down on Mossad too much, but these air defense towers were all built in the territory of the two countries, and Israel could not object to others building defense facilities in their own country. Of course Israel has also protested to the United Kingdom, but obviously on the issue of the management of the Suez Canal, Israel's protest is still a little weak.

Unexpectedly, this kind of motionless giant anti-aircraft tower has become the root cause of Israel's difficulties. Israel actually faced the difficulties of World War I in the 70s.

In the 24 hours since the start of the war, the situation facing Israel was mixed. The good news is that the Egyptian Air Force has survived in name only. The destruction of the powerful opponent's air power, in addition to the Egyptian Air Force, Syria and Jordan also lost a lot of power.
