Chapter 1262: Special Penetration of the Rear City
On the 101 Aegis ship of the Second Amphibious Fleet, in the theater command center, Sha Yiqi and Lin Jiangpeng all stayed quietly in the command center, watching the deployment of Israeli troops in Tel Aviv.
It is not at all surprising that Israel's troop deployment in Tel Aviv is not very large.
Although the size of the IDF has rapidly expanded to nearly one million, a large number of troops have been pinned down in various other battlefields.
Here in Jerusalem alone, the IDF has amassed 300,000 troops, and the number is growing.
In other theaters, the combined troops also have nearly 400,000 troops, and some of them have to guard various cities.
Israel also has few mobile troops to mobilize, and the Israeli army in Tel Aviv, with less than 50,000 men, is defended by a mechanized division and six infantry brigades, most of which are all reservists.
Tel Aviv's police force and urban counter-terrorism unit have all joined the defensive force, and all the personnel who can fight add up to less than 60,000.
However, even if it is 60,000 people, in the face of such a city battle, only one Marine Brigade is far from enough.
Moreover, the ground forces have also been operating in Haifa recently, and it is impossible to go deep into Tel Aviv to support.
Operations in Haifa are currently carried out by the Second Army of the Red Guard Corps, which operates in conjunction with the Lebanese Defence Forces.
The battle for Haifa is not over, so the attack on Tel Aviv will not receive any help from the army.
However, the Airborne Division will also participate in combat operations in Tel Aviv, and the Airborne Corps of the Red Guard Corps has not yet appeared.
This time, there will also be a joint Marine Corps three-dimensional force projection in the sea and air, which will be carried out in Tel Aviv.
At the same time, the Navy and the Airborne Forces are accompanied by a large number of special forces.
By the time preparations for the operation began, a large number of special operations teams of the Red Guard Corps had already infiltrated this huge city.
Tel Aviv is a truly modern city, not inferior to the more developed cities in Europe.
In the city, there are also high-rise buildings, tens of thousands of defense troops, in such a city, if you disperse, there is not much left.
And now in Tel Aviv, there are millions of Israeli civilians, almost all of whom have fled the war from the front lines, because only here can there be enough food to meet their needs.
The urban combat environment is very complex, and the more complex the combat environment, the more special forces are needed to collect more detailed and accurate battlefield intelligence.
Of course, at the beginning of the battle, both the Marines and the Airborne Forces were completely in need of their help.
The bombing once again plunged this sleepless city into a tense atmosphere.
All civilians were asked to stay in their rooms, and the city without electricity could only see the undulating silhouettes of the buildings.
The city has been without electricity for almost a month, and there is no electricity supply every day, which has brought great trouble to the lives of the civilians in the city.
Almost all the work that relied on electricity was stopped, and only the handicraft workshop was still running.
A large number of Israelis have nothing to do, and all of them rely on aid ships every day to get their own relief food every day.
The streets have all been taken over by the military, and most of the civilians are strictly forbidden to go out on the streets, in order to prevent the enemy's activities behind enemy lines and mingling among the civilians.
After all, there are a lot of Israelis, all of whom are of mixed Arab and Jewish descent, and they don't look much different from Middle Easterners.
Tel Aviv has long been under full military control, and at night in the city, no one is allowed to move on the streets.
At this time, the only vehicles that can move on the streets are the patrol cars of the Israeli army or police forces.
At this time, no matter who goes out on the street, the army and the police do not need permission to shoot them directly.
The bombing of the harbor in the distance and the whistling of fighter jets in the sky made the night sky of the city very noisy.
But the patrols in the city are all more attentive to patrol every street, because the more times like this, the more active the enemy.
Tel Aviv's Urban Defense Command has also activated high-level defense mechanisms in response to the possibility of fighting at any moment.
In the city at night, infiltration and sabotage behind enemy lines are also underway before the offensive officially begins.
Navy SEAL hero Zhang Xuchen has personally led the team to infiltrate the city for half a month.
The special assault battalion he led, a full fifty combat squads, completely understood everything in the city.
Within the secret command of the special assault battalion, external communications were also fully established, and in the next attack, they needed ground laser guidance for the fleet's missiles.
In complex cities, this kind of guidance is indispensable, because the fleet is simply unable to accurately locate the target and direction of the attack in the complex urban environment.
"Determine the priority targets to strike, notify all the squads, keep the time of action unchanged, and be ready to guide the targets of the missile attack."
Zhang Xuchen did not start acting immediately, but sat in the command headquarters, coordinated and commanded thousands of special combat personnel in the city, and even a large number of spies infiltrated into the city.
"Report to the general, the targets of the attack have all been determined, and the second amphibious fleet has sent a message that the missiles will be launched on time at three o'clock in the morning."
"Inform General Sha Yiqi that we are also ready here, and everything is fine." Zhang Xuchen replied, and then ordered: "Inform all the assault detachments that this war is very crucial, and it is also a test for the entire special operations assault battalion. All the assault detachments were ordered to move freely after the successful destruction of the target by the guided missiles, and I had only one request, to put all the Israeli troops in Tel Aviv into chaos before the general attack. ”
After giving the final order, Zhang Xuchen immediately grabbed the weapon beside him and ordered again: "Remove the command headquarters, command all the members of the team, and prepare for battle, our target, the broadcast signal tower in the city center." ”
At this moment, the time is approaching three o'clock in the morning.
