Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 587

“Your Excellency Commander, the Syrians fled, we won!” Major General Kuhn of the 1st Infantry Division of the Jewish Legion looked excited.

General Vidal’s face was also full of smiles.

Although during this battle, Jewish officers paid dozens of Renault FT-17 tanks to be destroyed. At the same time, thousands of infantry were killed and wounded. However, being able to inflict thousands of casualties on the Syrian army is also a good victory.

In other words, in this battle, it can be regarded as a good starter.

“Order all troops, continue to attack, take Haifa!” General Vidal gave the order.

“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Major General Kuhn replied.

It was not far from the border to Haifa, and with the speed of the Jewish legion’s advance, it was able to reach it before sunset.

However, after arriving here, the Jewish legion did not attack immediately, but ordered the troops to rest.

Although the soldiers of the Jewish Legion were fully motivated to fight and skillful in combat. But, after all, recruits. Many are even going to war for the first time. Keep them energized for the rest of the battle.

The top brass of the Jewish officers hoped to win the battle with the smallest possible losses.

After all, even after they successfully gained a foothold in the Balestan region, they would still have to face the malice of the surrounding Celestial Sect countries. Therefore, they must retain a strong military force.

If only as many people could survive in this war as possible. This is also very helpful for the subsequent construction of the military power of the Jewish state.

At this time, the 8th Infantry Brigade of the Syrian Army and the remnants of the 7th Infantry Brigade withdrawn from the front were stationed here. It’s not that the Syrian Army doesn’t want to deploy more troops here, but Haifa is just a small city and can’t deploy too many troops. If more troops had been gathered here, the Jews would have continued to shell the city fiercely and wipe out the city with shells. In this case, the Syrian army will pay a greater price.

Of course, in order to be able to fight back against the Jews, the Syrian Army’s 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades, as well as the 1st Panzer Brigade, were deployed in the area south of Haifa.

In addition, the Syrian Army’s 9th Infantry Brigade and 10th Infantry Brigade are on standby east of Haifa.

Once the Jews paid a large loss in the battle to attack Haifa. The Syrians would then immediately gather heavy troops and launch a counterattack, striving to crush the Jews in one fell swoop.

The other 4 infantry brigades are stabilizing the situation in the Balestan area.

You know, it is not only the heavenly people who live in the Balestan area, but also hundreds of thousands of Jews.

These Jews had immigrated from all over the world in response to the Zionist movement’s return to Balestan. They established large and small settlements in the Balestan area. It even possessed some weapons and developed a lot of armed personnel.

After the Jews attacked Balestan, the Jewish militants immediately began to attack everywhere.

This made it necessary for the Syrian army to retain a considerable number of troops in these areas. Otherwise, the entire Balestan region will be in chaos. Even a large number of celestial beings would be killed by Jews.

On 13 October, the Jewish Legion began its offensive against Haifa.

More than 200 heavy guns of more than 100 mm caliber, as well as a large number of mortars, frantically fired into the city.

Most of the houses in Haifa City are civil structures. In the face of the shelling of Jewish officers, it was simply impossible to resist and was quickly destroyed.

Similarly, the army of the Kingdom of Syria deployed in the city also suffered certain losses.

Fortunately, they had already prepared and built a lot of fortifications in the city. Therefore, the losses are still within an acceptable level. But if the shelling of Jewish officers continues, they will not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, the Jews, although they had deep pockets, could do the same thing improperly with shells. But these shells were also needed from the Gallic and Beacon countries.

Because of the different calibers of the shells, the shells produced by the Sun Never Set Empire are not applicable. So, it was mainly the Beacon State and the Gallic State that supplied the Jews with weapons and ammunition.

But even then, the transportation of shells takes time. This is especially true when transported from Libanoun to the front.

This made it impossible for Jews to fire unrestrained on the battlefield.

But even so, the Jewish officers carried out fire preparation for up to two hours. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“Boom! Rumble! Boom’! ”

Dense shells fell on the city of Haifa, causing great damage to the small city.

Houses were destroyed and streets bombed into ruins.

The losses of the Syrian army in the city also began to soar.

After the fire preparations were over, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions of the Jewish Legion began to send infantry to attack the city.

As for the 1st Panzer Division, it remained outside the city.

Although, the armored forces are strong. However, General Vidal was careful not to easily bring their ace army into the city. If you lose a lot in the city street battles. Well, the losses of the Jewish legions were great.

“‘Tap-da-da! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Fierce street fighting broke out in the city of Haifa, and the Jewish soldiers who entered the city were hit by heavy fire from the Syrian army.

The Syrian army hid within pre-constructed lines and fire points, firing furiously.

The Jews who invaded the city suffered heavy losses, and a large number of soldiers were shot.

In particular, the heavy machine guns and light machine guns equipped by the Syrian Army (Qian Li’s) are completely weapons for harvesting life in urban street battles!

But even so, the Jews showed bravery.

Under the cover of their own mortar and machine-gun fire, they engaged in fierce fighting with the Syrian army. Even, relying on superiority in firepower and manpower, the Syrian army was defeated and constantly expanded their control area.

However, the losses of the Jews were also very staggering. On October 13 alone, their casualties in Haifa City were as high as more than 2,000. This was undoubtedly a very big loss for the Jewish legion.

If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before they lose their combat effectiveness.

After General Vidal saw the battle damage report, his face was even more ugly. It seems that he has just discovered that some are too underestimating the Syrians.
