Chapter 1238: The Hidden Israeli Main Force

The Old City of Jerusalem is the focus of contention for Jerusalem because it is the highest terrain.

Once this vantage point is lost, the rest of Israel's forces in the city will be fully exposed to the coalition ground offensive.

Relying solely on urban buildings to hold on to the battle will also lose most of the initiative.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen believes that the Israeli military cannot give up easily.

"Think about it, if you were the commander of the Israeli side at this time, what decision would you make?" Cai Ruichen asked Elleyesel.

El Yesel thought for a moment and said directly: "If I were the commander of the Israeli army on the battlefield in Jerusalem, then I would not rush to send out the hidden troops to counterattack now, but wait for the enemy to start feeling that he is on his feet, and when he goes out of the old city and attacks the rest of the city, he will counterattack by surprise, disrupt the enemy's position, cut off the connection between the attacking troops and the rear, and at the same time send out hidden reinforcements in other parts of the city to try to divide and destroy the enemy in the attack." ”

Cai Ruichen heard this, nodded, this kind of thinking coincided with him, in the case of the enemy's air superiority, the best way is to entangle with the enemy.

So far, the Red Guard Corps has never dispatched paratroopers to Jerusalem, nor has it dispatched air assault troops, and has blossomed around the city to fight at fixed points, just to avoid being entangled by the Israeli army.

As a result, it will be difficult for the air force to provide air support, and it will be difficult to give full play to the superiority of the air force.

After all, the opponent facing this time is an army that is completely capable of confronting the Red Guard Corps head-on, and it is easy to have uncontrollable changes due to empty assaults and fixed-point operations.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Red Guard Corps chose the tactics of step-by-step battalion, advancing steadily, not greedy for merit or rash advance, and all troops must work together to avoid being lured deep by the enemy and thus surrounded by the opponent's heavy troops.

The number of Israeli troops in Jerusalem is greater than the number of troops attacking.

The enemy is outnumbered, and even if the enemy is superior, the situation on the battlefield may change unpredictably at any time.

No commander can anticipate every change on the battlefield, and no amount of planning can hardly keep up with the pace of change.

"If that's the case, then I'm not worried, after all, for predictable tactical actions, as long as you prepare in time, you can deal with it, and what I'm worried about is that the Israeli side will make decisions that we don't expect." Cai Ruichen said.

"If we could use a self-detonating truck today, it would save a lot of trouble." Elleyesel said with some regret.

Cai Ruichen shook his head, if the self-detonating truck can be used casually, why is there so much trouble.

What's more, he will not blow up the whole of Jerusalem, there are not only a large number of Israeli civilians in it, but the war is the business of professional soldiers, not massacres.

If he could, it would be impossible for him to raise a butcher's knife to unarmed civilians, this is his moral bottom line.

And if a person doesn't even have a moral bottom line, then there is no difference between him and a madman.

Moreover, the city of Jerusalem is not only the capital of Israel, but also the capital of the Palestinians, and if it is really razed to the ground, it will not be easy to give an account to the Palestinians.

Otherwise, under the power of the self-detonating truck, even if it is a civil air defense project hidden under the city, it will not be safe.

Of course, if he fought in the field, as long as he had the opportunity, Cai Ruichen would naturally not be able to let go of the opportunity to destroy the Israeli army as much as possible.

As for whether it will be misunderstood by the outside world, Cai Ruichen doesn't care, the self-detonation truck has zero radiation, and without accidentally injuring a large number of civilians, he is not worried about any adverse consequences caused by this.

"Don't think about the self-detonating truck, if it can be used, I will naturally use it, but there is no room for use at the moment." Cai Ruichen shook his head and continued:

"At present, the main operational direction of the First Group Army needs to be adjusted and as far as possible to find out the exits of those civil air defense projects."

Elleyesel nodded with mud and then asked, "If you find the exit, do you want to organize troops to attack?" ”

Cai Ruichen shook his head again and said: "These air defense projects, under the management of the Israeli army, we don't know what's inside, and we don't know the situation of the lines inside, and there may even be organs or traps, blindly sending troops in, it's too dangerous." ”

"Do you want to block the exit?" Elleyesel continued to ask.

"No, I always feel that the Israeli side will not easily dispatch those troops in the civil air defense project." Cai Ruichen thought about it and vetoed Elleyesel's proposal.

Before he came to the headquarters of the First Army, he had already talked for a long time with the engineer hero Qiu Mingxu, and Qiu Mingxu also analyzed the possible civil air defense engineering construction structures according to the situation of the city of Jerusalem and the surrounding terrain.

The underground kingdoms below the base are all in the hands of Qiu Mingxu, and Qiu Mingxu is also a well-deserved top master in this field.

The civil air defense project, which is more than 1,200 kilometers long, is an incomparably huge underground network.

This underground network is also super complex, and coupled with the level of secrecy that Israel has always maintained when building civil air defense projects, there will inevitably be a large number of hidden entrances and exits that are difficult to distinguish.

Such exits can be found everywhere in the city, outside the city, or even connected to other cities.

This connection is like a subway line between cities, just like the underground rail network between Marin and all nearby cities.

It's just that none of these underground transportation networks on the Israeli side are open to the outside world, while the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, like other countries, these subways are open to the public.

In fact, civil air defense projects are all around everyone, and the subway is a civil air defense project in wartime.

The subway in some cities is built on the basis of civil air defense projects, just like Cai Ruichen lived in the city of his hometown, in the small Egret Island, all the mountains are actually empty, and they are all civil air defense projects, and now many of these air defense projects are used as urban traffic lines.

Israel, on the other hand, is completely different from all other countries in that it has never opened a single civil air defense project to the outside world.

This is also where the most troublesome are, and even Israel's mechanized troops, which can appear anywhere on the battlefield.
