Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 588

“Your Excellency Commander, the Syrians are so despicable that they have built a large number of defensive lines in the city and hidden many fire points. Especially those machine gun fire points, it is even more impossible to prevent. Many of our soldiers were beaten into a sieve without any defense. They’re all good lads! Just died here. Major General Kuhn said with red eyes.

General Vidal’s face was also ugly.

“The Syrians are even more difficult than we thought. This also proves that we seemed to have underestimated the Syrians before. In other words, under the tutelage of the Russians, the combat effectiveness of the Syrians has been greatly improved.

But even so, we must win this battle. Otherwise, how can we restore the country? ”

General Vidal’s attitude remained very firm.

“Your Excellency Commander, we can mobilize more heavy artillery to bombard the city, and use the heavy artillery to completely blow the city into ruins. In this way, not only can it cause more damage to the Syrians. At the same time, it can effectively reduce our losses.

The Balestan region, however, has many cities and villages. If the Syrians continue to hold on to these cities 060 and villages. If every city and village we had to fight the Syrians in this way. So, how many people do we have to die and wound in this battle! ”

General Morse, chief of staff of the corps, suggested.

General Vidal frowned: “We don’t have so many heavy artillery, we don’t have so many shells, and we don’t have so much time.” The longer time drags on, the greater the variability will be. For us, the more disadvantageous it will be! ”

“If the fleet that never sets directly uses naval guns, it can easily destroy Haifa and blow this place into ruins!” Major General Kuhn said.

General Vidal shook his head: “The sun does not set, and people will not intervene at this time.” Even in this war, they will never end up in this war and get involved in this war. Otherwise, the Russians would not have sat idly by. We can only rely on ourselves. ”

Although General Morse and Major General Kuhn were somewhat reluctant, they both knew that General Vidal was telling the truth.

“Telegram to Mr. Weizmann to speed up the formation of follow-up troops. In addition, the 3rd Infantry Division was ordered to come and reinforce us immediately. The 4th Infantry Division and the 5th Infantry Division must withstand the Syrian reinforcements. If there is spare capacity, send troops to reinforce us. We must take Haifa as soon as possible. Even, look for an opportunity to defeat the main forces of the Syrians! General Vidal ordered.

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

The next day, Jewish officers continued their fierce assault on Haifa.

Even if they paid great losses yesterday. But on this day, their attacks were more fierce. Many Jews were already fighting desperately.

Even the 1st Panzer Division took part in the battle.

Although, tanks can be easily destroyed in urban street battles. But for the Jews, these tanks were nothing more than tools of combat. They have already placed orders for thousands of Renault FT-17 tanks to the Gauls. No matter how big the loss, it will be replenished soon. Therefore, it is not distressing.

The fighting intensified, and the Jewish legions advanced faster in Haifa.

Of course, while they inflicted greater casualties and losses on the Syrians, so did their own casualties.

Under these circumstances, Jewish officers occupied Haifa on October 15.

The 8th Infantry Brigade of the Syrian Army, with losses of more than two-thirds. And the 7th Infantry Brigade, which had previously lost more than half of it, now only more than a thousand people remained. Both infantry brigades have almost lost their combat effectiveness.

Likewise, the Jewish Legion paid great losses.

Their casualties in Haifa alone exceeded eight thousand. If you count the losses that broke through the border before, the entire Jewish army has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.

At this time , the Syrian Army ‘s 1st Infantry Brigade , 2nd Infantry Brigade , 9th Infantry Brigade and 10th Infantry Brigade , as well as the 1st Panzer Brigade , launched a fierce attack on the Jewish legion from the south and east.

With four infantry brigades and one armored brigade, the Syrian Army mobilized more than 50,000 men. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

But they are not superior in terms of troops.

Even with the loss of tens of thousands, the Jewish Legion’s 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division and 1st Panzer Division still had more than 50,000 people.

Moreover, the 3rd Infantry Division also arrived with reinforcements.

The two sides fought fiercely around Haifa.

The Jewish legion took advantage of its own firepower to the fullest.

The Syrian army, on the other hand, has an advantage in armored combat power.

Although the 1st Panzer Brigade of the Syrian Army has only one hundred and twenty T-13 tanks and more than two hundred BMP-12 armored vehicles. The 1st Panzer Division of the Jewish Legion was originally equipped with more than two hundred tanks.

However , in the previous battle , the 1st Panzer Division of the Jewish Legion had lost more than half of its tanks.

Moreover, the overall performance of the Renault FT-17 light tank is much weaker than that of the T-13 light tank.

So much so that in the battle, the armored units of the Jewish Legion could not withstand the attack of the armored units of the Syrian army.

After heavy losses, it was possible to retreat to the rear and be reinforced by infantry with anti-tank guns.

But even so, in this fierce battle, the Jewish Legion’s 1st Panzer Division was almost completely lost.

However , the Syrian Army ‘s 1st Infantry Brigade , 2nd Infantry Brigade , 9th Infantry Brigade , and 10th Infantry Brigade did not take advantage of the battle.

Although their fierce counterattack also caused many casualties among the Jews. However, its own losses are just as large.

In order to ensure victory in this battle, the commander of the Jewish legion, General Vidal, did not hesitate to risk a possible breach of the northern defense line of the Sea of Galilee, and urgently ordered reinforcements from the 1st Infantry Division.

Under such circumstances, the Syrian army could only withdraw from Haifa and retreat south.

So much so that in this battle, it was not able to resist the Jewish attack. As a result, the northern region of Balestan fell into the hands of the Jews.

However, after this battle, the Jewish officers suffered huge losses, and in a short period of time, they were even unable to continue the attack.

Similarly, the losses of the Syrian army were not small, especially the reinforcements from the country were firmly blocked by the Jews on the Sea of Galilee and Mount Moran. This makes them not superior on the battlefield of Balestan.

This war has gradually entered a state of stalemate.
