The second more

By the time the red flag of victory was planted at the top of the church in Curleon, it was all over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The Turkish side is a big difference in firepower and combat quality compared to the charging Soviet soldiers. When the steel tracks of the T72 crushed the Turkish army's will to fight, and when Tunguska cut off Turkish air support, all that left this elite armored battalion was despair and unwillingness. They felt good about themselves and thought they were superior to the Soviet Red Army, but now they were easily routed and annihilated by the other side.

The former town of Curleon is in ruins, and it's hard to tell what it used to look like from the debris, which has been bombed to pieces.

The Soviet army proved to the Turkish armored forces in their own simple and crude way what a real war is. The artillery fire washed the floor, the tracks crushed, and all the obstacles in front of him were overthrown, and the war in the Soviet Union was so simple and direct.

The red flag of victory fluttered in the wind, and the black smoke blown away by the wind still smelled of scorched metal. It was only then that the surviving Turkish servicemen realized why the Soviet army was a devil from hell.

For wherever they passed, they were in ruins, and they were astonished.

The remaining tank companies had fled to the Maginot Line in Morfo, and after they lost the transportation hub of Coolion, the only thing left was this proud line of defense, which was still struggling to support the last dignity of the Turkish army. Their crushing defeat at Callion was undoubtedly a disgrace. And what was lost was the so-called most elite armored force.

When a country's elite troops are beaten by a group of retired Soviet veterans, I really don't know what kind of expressions the staff officers of the Turkish command in Cyprus are. The total annihilation of the tank battalion of the 39th Division stationed in Callion caused shock on all sides. The Greek and Cypriot governments, which were well aware of the situation, hyped up the beheadings and used them to boost the morale of the Cypriot army. Of course, they omitted the fact of the participation of retired Soviet troops in the war, promoting it as a major victory for the Cypriot army. By the way, it washed away the shame of being pushed flat by the Turkish 39th Panzer Division.

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which had previously vigorously opposed the establishment of a military airfield in Cyprus for the Soviet Union, remained silent in this campaign and did not dare to express any opinion. When they saw that even Turkey's most elite armored units were annihilated, the northern regime, which had been clamoring for the annihilation of Soviet fighters, began to coax.

However, the Turkish side in Cyprus believes that Greece has sent elite troops, and even asks Turkey to provide troops directly to Cyprus to maintain order between the two sides.

At this time, the Fortress shore-to-ship missile defense system purchased by Cyprus from the Soviet Union had arrived, and the Clerides government immediately announced the news to the outside world, and the Cypriot spokesman announced that these missiles would be deployed on the east coast to deal with the threat from Turkey. In the event of an invasion of Turkish warships into the waters of Cyprus, the shore-to-ship missiles of the Bastion system will strike them fatally.

What's more, the Cheetah and thug corvettes purchased by Greece have begun to patrol the waters of Cyprus, the purpose is also to prevent the attack of the Turkish Navy, the Cypriot side has shown reckless madness, as long as the Turkish side dares to attack, then Cyprus is dead, and it is necessary to pull the Turkish warship on its back.

Under such circumstances, Turkey has always exercised restraint and does not dare to support the northern regime in Cyprus, and as long as Greece does not increase its troops, then Turkey is willing to exercise restraint. More than 30,000 troops were enough to maintain the political balance. Moreover, if the Cyprus incident is too big, it will not end well at all. Even British Prime Minister Tony Blair has complained that Turkey's move is hurting British interests in Cyprus, even though Mazyeer has repeatedly stressed that they are only doing it to protect Turkey's own interests.

However, Maziel received accurate information from the American side about the decapitation operation in Cyprus. The CIA, which seems to be more efficient than the Turkish army, has uncovered the inside story of the annihilation of elite troops.

"This is not the masterpiece of the Greek army, judging from the situation on the ground, the opponent's attack is a typical Soviet tactic. Taking advantage of the artillery fire advantage of rocket artillery, the ground was washed at the town of Curion, and then the armored forces launched an attack on the Turkish army with the coordinated operation of infantry and air-ground operations. In the case of the Greek army, they would first call in air support for a precision strike, and then the armored units would charge. I can only think of one country, our common enemy, the Soviet Union. ”

Military scientists who have studied the Soviet military exercises on August 1 will be amazed at this kind of combat that is simply in the service of nuclear war, and the Soviet army in the old era was thinking about surviving the nuclear explosion and then counterattacking whatever it did.

President Mario recounted the incident when he called Mazjer, who had hoped that Turkey would come to United Nations mediation after it had fought for more Cypriot land. This is also Mario's counterattack in retaliation for Greece's alignment with the Soviet Union, which can be said to have acquiesced in Turkey's aggression.

But it can be seen from the battle of Coolion that the Turkish army is no match for the Soviet armored forces at all, even if the opponent disguises itself as the Cypriot National Guard, it cannot hide the rough and efficient way of attacking.

The subtext is that there is no shame in Turkey's loss, because you are facing an enemy that can no longer be called human, but a real war machine.

Mazyel's face was a little ugly, and the significance of Cyprus to him was tantamount to Yanayev's coveting of Constantinople, not to mention that the possession of Cyprus was equivalent to Turkey creating a key springboard for the Aegean Sea dispute. So he absolutely cannot afford to lose the northern regime in Cyprus.

Mazyel sneered and said, "Then we will annihilate these Soviet troops, how many troops can Yanayev put into Cyprus?" An armored division? No kidding, this is a war between Turkey and Greece, not a war of the USSR. Only Turkey can decide the future course of Cyprus. ”

Although this is a dispute between Turkey and Greece, it is actually a secret contest between the United States and the Soviet Union over the island nation. Mario didn't poke at this, he just said to Maziel euphemistically, "If the Soviet Union puts a division in Cyprus, then there will be no regime in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus." ”

Although it was said tactfully, Maziel still heard the meaning of the words. Mario wanted to advise Maziel not to try to start a head-on conflict with the Soviet Union, because if the other side was pressed, he could really liberate the whole of Cyprus.

"Now that Turkey is in order, and the northern cities of Cyprus have fallen into your hands, if you accept mediation now, then you can keep your existing land. Do you really have to let the torrent of Soviet steel step through your last line of defense before you wake up? ”

Indeed, the only way out for Turkey is now to accept UN mediation, and it is now not the Greeks who are being protected by the joint forces, but the Turks in Cyprus.

It's just that Mazyel couldn't swallow this breath, and he didn't expect that the troops that Turkey had always been proud of would be defeated in one face. Even the Turkish Army Headquarters could not accept such a fact.

"Think about it, General Maziel. Once you choose to declare war on the Soviet army, then everything that rests is up to you. Even the American army could not guarantee that our armored forces would be able to defeat the Soviet army. And the way you retaliated against the USSR did not necessarily choose to conflict in Cyprus. ”

"Huh?" What President Mario said caught Maziel's attention.

The United States, with its characteristic of fanning the flames in the Middle East, has once again made Turkey its pawn.

"Have you forgotten Syria? If you want to take revenge on the Soviet troops, you can completely provoke a dispute on the Syrian border. Even if the Soviet Union wanted to intervene at that time, it would be beyond the reach of the whip, wouldn't it? (To be continued.) )
