Main text Chapter 568: Breaking through the defense line

Second update

Yanayev's method of turning the tables gave the Cypriot army an advantage. When Kourion fell, the Turkish army, which originally wanted to continue the attack, gave up its hasty offensive plan. Instead, it waited until a series of reinforcements arrived before launching a counterattack. For Turkey, what they lack the least is time. And every minute the Cypriot army passes, they lose precious opportunities.

The more delays, the greater the advantage for Turkey. Clerides will organize the armored forces to break through the Maginot Line's thunder attack plan and directly tear through the opponent's defense line with tanks. Capture the city of Morfu. He blocked both tank battalions in the city of Morfu. In other words, Clerides was determined to take it down and wash away the shame of war for many years.

As a mercenary force fighting in Cyprus, the armored forces led by Alkasha naturally became the first choice for breaking through the defense line. The t72 tanks would break through the so-called defense line on the front under the cover of air support and artillery fire, and then carry out a sweeping strike.

Everyone couldn't hold back any longer. After annihilating the Turkish elite troops, they were eager to take the distant city and plant the flag of victory on the top floor of the government building.

In response, the Greek Air Force dispatched at least five 16 fighters to bombard Turkey, and bombed the Greek defense positions no less than four times in one day. Because the Turkish regime in Northern Cyprus did not expect the Greek Air Force to suddenly join the war, they did not prepare strong anti-aircraft artillery to resist the air strikes. In the end, they could only watch the bunkers and trenches turned into ruins and ashes.

The Turkish regime in Northern Cyprus knew that the real war was about to start. At first, they fantasized about attacking southward, and finally they could only choose to defend the last city. The 39th Division, which was beaten back by the first war, did not choose to take the initiative to attack, but used passive defense to block the advance of the Cypriot army.

However, the Soviet Red Army would not give them too much time. After the first round of air strikes, the armored battalion began to attack. After several rounds of artillery fire, the small number of tanks deployed by Turkey have been transferred to the rear to accumulate strength, perhaps because they saw that the proud Maginot Line could no longer hold on. Only the militia of the Northern Cyprus regime is still waiting for the armored forces to come.

These people holding RPGs or TOW anti-tank rockets and have no idea who they are facing. Perhaps the war in 1974 made them taste the sweetness. The Cypriot army on the opposite side could not even carry out infantry-tank coordinated operations smoothly. Their T80 tanks are simply live targets.

"Hahaha, these Greeks have been driven out of their homes by us. Next time we will completely expel them from this island of Cyprus. Victory belongs to the great Allah and to us devout believers. The Lord once said that killing pagans is not a crime." One of them laughed very proudly. He wished he could have another execution and kill all those who came down. And the companion sitting next to him also approved of this approach and nodded frequently.

"Kill all these pagans, Catholics, Christians and those without faith, all must die!" Someone shouted in agreement. In their eyes, this was not just a civil war, but also a religious war of faith conflict.

They thought it was still the early 1970s, but this time it was different.

The road leading to the city was blocked by scrapped cars. The North Cyprus militia tried to use this method to stop the tanks from advancing. Once they stopped in front of the roadblock, they would be attacked by anti-tank weapons. This was the experience they summed up when they fought against the Greek Cypriot government army. Just as these people were complacently preparing to harvest the heads of Turkish tanks, an unexpected situation occurred.

What they were waiting for was not the Cypriot tank troops, but two M24 Hind helicopters, rockets, aircraft guns and machine guns, and the air monsters armed to the teeth passed over their heads with whistling flames. The ground swept up a cloud of dust wherever it passed, which was the sound of aircraft guns and rockets hitting the concrete ground.

No one could stand up in the area where the Hind helicopter passed. The aircraft cannons hit their torsos and split their bodies in half. The bloody scene made many people bend over and vomit.

"The firepower bases on the rooftops were all destroyed by the Greek helicopters. Only roadblocks were left on the road. They can be ready to break through our defense line at any time. The Maginot Line has collapsed. Damn, those Turkish soldiers ran faster than rabbits. They left us here to die."

The scouts' loss report shocked the militia of the northern regime. With air strikes and artillery fire, they didn't expect the war to go on like this. But for these people, all this is just the beginning, far from the end.

After a loud bang, the diffuse smoke covered the entire street. The remaining militias were completely at a loss and were beaten by the enemy.

However, the next scene was a picture they would never forget.

The originally rock-hard barrier began to shake, and the militias felt as if something was ready to break through the barrier and rush in at any time. But the fog-like smoke made it difficult for them to see the road ahead. They just felt that there was a big guy heading in their direction.

They raised their rocket launchers in fear and aimed at the huge shadow in front of them.

As the dust cleared, they finally saw what a terrible steel beast it was, with a huge army green body and a bright red star on the turret. There were infantrymen on both sides following the tanks, and they killed all the Turkish soldiers who fell to the ground with their last breath along the way. The sporadic sound of Kalashnikovs echoed among the ruins.

These tanks were not as fragile as the Cypriot army, but had a clear division of labor, and the tanks launched an attack in coordination with the infantry.

The t72 tank passed through the smoke and obstacles, and its huge body did not care about the obstruction of others. He just ran over the corpses directly and fearlessly, and the blood and shock filled the chests of the militiamen, so that these people completely forgot to fire rockets at them.

It was not until the infantrymen next to the tanks drove towards them that these people came back to their senses and joined the battle. It was just that the military quality of the Soviet Red Army was more than a little higher than that of the Cypriot army. When they found the militia hiding in the building, they immediately began to suppress them. The t72 slowly turned the turret and fired shells directly in the direction of the infantry.

With the loud noise after the shells hit the target, the previous firepower stronghold had turned into ashes. The survivors were buried in the ruins under the bricks and stones, with only a limp hand still exposed to the air. Then it was crushed by the advancing tank with tracks.

The fragile Maginot Line had been completely torn apart by the armored forces of Cyprus and the Soviet Red Army. After destroying all the living forces that could resist, the armored forces advanced towards the last bloody fortress.

In front of us is Morfu, a densely built city. The streets and alleys as dense as spider webs have become a nightmare for the attackers. This place is like Mogadishu and Saigon where the US military was defeated. The cold that quietly stretched out from the window, the rocket launchers prepared in the narrow alleys, and the remnants of the Turkish Mobile Hell Armored Battalion occupying a favorable position. It looks like a nightmare no matter how you look at it.

The most difficult and bloody battle is about to begin.

Just before entering Morfu, the Soviet armored forces stopped, looking at the city in front of them with smoke and blood, motionless. As if admiring its final glory.

The pitiful dignity of the Turkish troops will soon be reduced to ashes along with the city.

Wait a little longer, now is not the best time.

The Soviet Red Army has a carefully prepared gift for this group of Islamists, a generous gift. It also helps the Cypriot army to avenge the genocide of the year.

("A bear with black-framed glasses appeared out of nowhere and stabilized the thoughts of the bears. This bear later came to 2010, and the rabbit with black frames in the same period was called the life-extending duo." I saw a book friend on the forum made a classic summary of Yanayev, and then I found that it seemed to be true. I specially moved it up to share with everyone, habitually continuing for a second.)
