Chapter 656: Not a Mob

Since it is impossible for NATO to send troops to help Turkey quell the rebellion, the only option is for Greece and Turkey to restore peace and end the confrontation, because only in this way can Turkey free up its hands to solve the problem of the Kurdistan Workers' Party.

However, Reagan obviously underestimated the hatred between the two enemies. In the subsequent mediation, both sides held their own opinions and neither was willing to give in. It was an irreconcilable conflict. There was no other way to resolve this kind of conflict except to fight a battle to see the truth!

Reagan was in a dilemma. After all, the place where the Kurds rebelled was the main transportation route for the US invasion of Iraq! If the Kurdish issue became more and more complicated, the US logistics supply line would likely be interrupted. At this time, the US frontline was fighting fiercely with the Iraqis, and the US vanguard was about to rush to Baghdad. Seeing victory in sight, they absolutely could not let the backyard start a fire at this time! However, if the US was allowed to free up its hands to help Turkey solve the Kurdish issue, then the US would face the problem of insufficient troops. Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that the US also relied on the power of the Kurds. If the US was allowed to free up its hands to suppress their people, the consequences would be something that even Reagan could not imagine.

At the same time, the Kurdish rebellion must not be delayed! As soon as the Kurdish rebellion was discovered, the Turkish army began emergency mobilization.

To the west of Van is Lake Van, and on the west bank of Lake Van is Tatvan, which has rolling hills and beautiful scenery, and is a famous tourist destination.

But now, the peace here was broken. After the news of the rebellion in Van City reached here, the local garrison, an infantry brigade, immediately marched towards Van City.

Turkey's military strength is not bad. In terms of size, they are the second largest permanent force in NATO, second only to the US military, with a combined strength of more than one million military and police personnel in five branches. Turkey is considered the strongest military force in the Middle East.

And now, the infantry brigade here has also demonstrated its strong comprehensive strength. After receiving the order, it took only one day to march towards Fancheng!

Although the Turkish army is well-equipped, its mechanized forces cannot be fully utilized in this mountainous area. Therefore, their infantry brigade is equipped with ordinary trucks. The Mercedes-Benz military vehicles from Germany have excellent off-road performance in the mountains and low fuel consumption. Although they are not as good as infantry fighting vehicles in blocking bullets, they are also a good means of transportation.

It's just a means of transport, definitely not a combat vehicle!

The convoy was moving forward along the road south of Fan Lake, and the soldiers on the vehicles were constantly bumping and shaking with the vehicles.

Any rebellion will not develop quickly in the early stages. As long as it is firmly suppressed when signs of the rebellion appear, a lot of trouble can be reduced. Moreover, it is said that the leader of the rebellion, Ocalan, is also in Van. Therefore, as long as this rebel group is wiped out, a great achievement will be made!

Even if we cannot defeat them, as long as we block them in Fancheng, we will always be able to defeat them with the arrival of reinforcements!

With this thought in mind, the brigade commander was still dreaming in the car that he would definitely be promoted after this mission! This was a real military achievement!

"Crack." Just after turning a sharp bend in the mountain road, the military vehicle suddenly stopped. Caught off guard, the brigade commander's head hit the windshield in front hard, and blood immediately flowed out.

"What's going on?" asked the brigade commander. They had not yet reached Gewash, and were still dozens of kilometers away from Van!

"Oh, no!" The driver was so panicked that he opened the car door and jumped out!

This is the highway along the lake, with a mountain on the right and a cliff on the left, and the lake below the cliff! And my driver actually jumped out of the car and jumped into Lake Van!

The brigade commander raised his head and opened his eyes. The blood on his head flowed down, and his eyes were full of blood red. Through the blood red, he saw a steel monster with its gun barrel raised high on the opposite side, rumbling towards him!

Tank! That's a tank! From the outline of the exterior, you can see that it is a Soviet-made tank! It is definitely not a tank equipped by the Turkish army! It can only be the rebels!

Damn, how come the rebels even have tanks!

Their infantry brigade set out in a hurry and carried only light weapons. Everyone was just trying to carry more bullets and did not carry any anti-tank weapons at all. Their infantry brigade had an artillery battalion, which was enough to provide fire support, but they did not expect to encounter the rebel tanks here!

Cars versus tanks? You must be kidding! That's impossible!

However, the distance was so close, why didn’t the other party open fire?

"Quick, fire, fire!" At this time, the atmosphere in the T-55 tank was also highly tense. The tank soldiers of the newly established Kurdistan had less than ten hours of training time after taking over these tanks. It was good enough for them to be able to start the tanks. Now they had to open fire, and they were in a panic for a moment.

"Boom!" Finally, the tank gun fired, but it was only 200 meters away! The shell didn't hit the target at all, but flew from a long distance, all the way to Lake Van!

"Hit, hit it!" the conductor shouted. Since he couldn't hit it, he might as well just hit it!

At this time, the Turkish soldiers of the infantry brigade behind had already realized that a special situation had occurred, and they were jumping out of the truck beds one by one.

Some people came out, their hands still shaking as they held their rifles, watching the steel monster moving fiercely towards them! Those who did not come out were even more unlucky.

"Bang!" The tank collided violently with the truck. Black smoke came out of the engine at the rear of the tank. The driver stepped on the accelerator, causing the tank to continue moving forward madly, pushing the truck to the side of the cliff!

Countless screams were heard, and the truck fell down!

At this time, the Kurds showed their extreme brutality. The tanks following behind them created a terrible formation. Under this formation, the Turkish infantry brigade had no other choice.

Run!

The soldiers of the Turkish Infantry Brigade got off the vehicles and ran to the back, and some climbed to the top of the mountain. At this time, the Kurdish tank soldiers stuck their heads out and ruthlessly destroyed them with the anti-aircraft machine guns on the tanks!

The Kurdish armed forces are definitely not a mob, they are a regular army and they even have tanks!
