Chapter 162

Of course, over the years the number of these fighter jets had accumulated to no small amount, totaling several hundred.

These fighter jets formed the very foundation upon which Israel dominated the Middle East.

If it were anyone else, even if they were piloting a J-20,

under the assault of so many aircraft, they would have to temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge.

After all, even if the combat effectiveness of these third-generation fighters was negligible, the J-20 did not possess enough ammunition to destroy them all.

However, Lin Yi feared this the least.

Possessing infinite ammunition, no matter how many there were, he could turn these old-fashioned fighter jets into scrap metal.

As for whether these old-fashioned fighter jets could defeat an enhanced version of the F-22,

if that were truly possible, then during the 2006 U.S. exercise codenamed "Northern Edge" in Alaska,

the F-22s fighting against F-16s and F-18s would not have achieved the astonishing record of 144 to 0.

Thus, Lin Yi did not refuse this commission, and he agreed with the Hamas members that if the Israeli Air Force were to launch another airstrike on Gaza,

Hamas could contact him at any time.

For this purpose, he even had the system set up a notification function.

After receiving the official response from the DWS platform,

the Hamas members, who were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle in Hebron at that moment, all showed joy on their faces.

They knew that their shortfall in air power had now been remedied.

Although the DWS platform had only deployed one J-20 during its previous resource support in Syria,

its combat record was undeniable; it was nothing short of dragging the face of the United States into the dirt and grinding it violently.

This left the United States still trembling with fear to this day, daring not to deploy large-scale air forces to fight against the Syrian side,

lest they fall victim to strikes from aircraft like the J-20, capable of beyond-visual-range combat.

"Excellent! With the help of the DWS platform, we finally have no worries behind us!"

"By Allah, the DWS platform is simply the messenger you have sent to the human world!"

"Damn Jewish bastards, you will soon learn what true fear is!!"

The Hamas members shouted excitedly.

Following this, their offensive surged as if injected with adrenaline.

Although the equipment of the Israeli Defense Forces was extremely sophisticated,

the ferocity of the Arabs was renowned worldwide; they would throw their lives away for the beliefs in their hearts.

This was especially true for the Palestinians, who had been oppressed by Israel for decades, kept like livestock within the Gaza Strip.

The hatred many of them held toward the Jews was beyond description.

In their eyes, they would not rest until every Jew was killed or driven out of Palestine.

There were old Soviet 2S5 152mm cannon guns,

Soviet 2S19 152mm cannon guns,

and Soviet 2S7 203mm cannon guns.

There were also old Soviet 7.62mm SG-43 heavy machine guns, 12.7mm DShK38 heavy machine guns,

and Czech 7.62mm VZ59 general-purpose machine guns, among others.

Although these weapons were very backward, many being antique relics from the Second World War,

surprisingly, they were perfectly suited for Hamas.

This was because their prices on the DWS platform were truly cheap.

They belonged to the category where one would not feel any pain even if they were damaged.

However, one should not underestimate these old veterans; take the Soviet 2S7 203mm cannon gun, for instance.

It was the most powerful 203mm artillery piece in the world and served as a crucial support firepower for the Soviet Army at the time.

In the 1960s, both the United States and the Soviet Union were developing nuclear artillery shells. Shortly thereafter, in the late 1960s, both nations simultaneously commissioned multiple new artillery systems,

designed to inflict casualties on the enemy by firing nuclear shells with yields of thousands of tons of TNT.

On December 16, 1967, the Soviet Ministry of Defense Industry issued Order No. 801 to begin developing long-range self-propelled artillery, with the primary requirement being the ability to fire nuclear shells and a range exceeding 25 kilometers when firing high-explosive fragmentation rounds.

This new self-propelled artillery was intended to replace the Soviet Army's then-active S-72 210mm cannon, S-23 180mm cannon, and MU-1 180mm coastal defense gun.

After research, it was determined that the ballistic performance of the S-72 210mm cannon could meet the requirements of the new self-propelled artillery.

However, considering the production equipment at the Soviet "Barricades" Factory used for manufacturing the B-4 "Stalin's Hammer" howitzer,

it was decided to modify the caliber from 210mm to 203mm. This modification plan received approval from the Rocket and Artillery Equipment Directorate of the Soviet Ministry of Defense.

Thus, between 1973 and 1974, two prototypes of the 2S7 were born.

Yet, this giant cannon provided Hamas with unimaginable heavy firepower on the Israeli battlefield.

A single shell landing meant there was no possibility of survival for anything within a radius of dozens of meters.

In the early stages of the war, the Israeli forces suffered heavily from these artillery strikes, sustaining significant casualties.

The Israeli forces were not unwilling to destroy these artillery pieces.

However, these guns basically fired one shot and then changed positions before camouflaging themselves.

Hamas had even ordered some identical inflatable decoy cannons from Dragon Land in advance, which looked incredibly lifelike.

This indeed caused the Israeli forces to waste a considerable amount of ammunition.

Overall, relying on these veteran equipment pieces and their fearless ferocity,

Hamas managed to fight the Israeli forces to a standstill, leaving them struggling to cope.

This situation was somewhat similar to Dragon Land's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

In both cases, backward weapons were pitted against the most advanced weaponry,

and in both cases, despite air superiority disadvantages and under enemy bombardment,

the Palestinians, driven by the beliefs in their hearts,

managed to defeat the Israeli combination of aircraft and tanks multiple times using nothing but "millet plus rifles."

It must be said that even in modern warfare,

belief can sometimes be stronger than aircraft and tanks.

Hatred and oppression led the Palestinians to decide this time: either die completely or fight their way out to a new world.

To be honest, even the commanders of the Israeli forces found it hard to believe at this moment.

They completely failed to understand how these Palestinians could unleash such fierce combat effectiveness.

In reality, the Israeli forces on the battlefield were not lacking in courage either;

with the Holy City of Jerusalem just 30 kilometers behind them, they too had unleashed their maximum combat power.

Yet, facing the Batan people who feared neither hardship nor death, the Yi army kept retreating.

This was even with their air force providing support.

Many Yi soldiers witnessed that, when trapped with exhausted ammunition and supplies,

the severely wounded and dying Batan warriors would actually pull out their last grenades, desperately embracing Yi soldiers,

shouting:

"Damn Jewish bastards, come meet Allah with me!"

Both were instantly blasted into a mist of blood.

Dismembered limbs and scraps of flesh scattered everywhere.

To be honest, perhaps accustomed to a life of luxury in the Batan region,

the current Yi soldiers simply could not match the combat effectiveness displayed during the previous Middle East wars.

Hamas used blood and flesh to teach them the horror of war.

And due to the continuous failures on the front lines,

the Yi Prime Minister was flying into a rage, having already dismissed several commanders in succession.

At the same time, they were also pleading for aid from the Ugly Country.

Hoping the Ugly Country could provide support.

Regrettably, the Ugly Country coalition was currently too preoccupied with its own troubles, as they still had to contend with the war against the Xuzheng Prefecture,

leaving no extra support to spare for the Yi army.
