Chapter 114: Militia and Elite According to the law of free fall, it takes about 15 seconds for an object to land from a height of one kilometer, while the delay fuse of the grenade in your hand is 5 seconds. That is to say, throwing them now is like setting off fireworks for the Arabs In the Fi-60 single engine two seater civilian aircraft, Haimov turned off the output button of the wireless communicator and gave his partner Saha a a short lesson in concise and professional language. After listening, the young flight scout reluctantly stuffed the grenade back into his pocket. There's no need to startle the snake, "Haimofu continued." The 'Flying Army' has already laid an ambush in the village, and there are also many Irish mercenaries we hired at a high price Saha, holding a telescope to observe the situation below, responded: "Those Turks? Their equipment is really good, but can they be reliable when it comes to the critical time?" The reputation of the Irish army is quite good, but unfortunately we have invited these foreign troops from Ireland, not real Irish people. It seems that the members of the executive committee and command also lack confidence in them. When it comes to the critical moment, only our own people can be trusted! Alright, let's talk about it later, let's get down to business first! "After finishing his sentence, Haimofu turned on the output button of the wireless communicator again. Every word they said next could be heard by the" Flying Army "mobile command headquarters stationed in Amona and the officers closely monitoring the situation ahead in the communication room of the aviation club. From the distribution of light sources, it can be inferred that the Arabs heading towards Amona are divided into two equal groups, each with several hundred people. There are car lights at the back of the group, and the total number is about twenty Haimov echoed on the radio, 'These bandits probably want to steal all the cows from the Amona Ranch. If they succeed, our losses will be huge!' Then let them taste what our iron fist tastes like! "A powerful middle-aged man's voice came from his earphones. This person was Colonel Bitten, the commander of the" Flying Army ", a professional soldier from the American and British families. Among the members of the Zionist movement, he had obtained a military rank second only to Erhard Milch. Sahadao said, "Now, the enemy's outpost is still three or four kilometers away from Amona, and a large group of people and horses are ten kilometers away. Perhaps their outpost will enter Amona first for reconnaissance The wireless end fell silent for a moment and said, "In fact, we anticipated this situation. If the enemy's outpost troops enter the town, we can hold our fire and wait until a large force of enemy troops breaks in, and then hit them hard with their sticks Colonel, I have no intention of offending you, but it seems inappropriate for you to disclose our military deployment on the radio. Once our conversations are monitored by the enemy, it would be terrible, "Haimov quickly reminded Colonel Bitten readily admitted his negligence: "Hmm, Captain, you're absolutely right. Although the enemy is not a regular army, we should treat this as a war and give it enough attention. We must not take it lightly During the conversation, faint but clear gunshots came from the earphones. Haimov and Sakha coincidentally probed downwards, but they were soaring at an altitude of thousands of meters, and the muzzle flames on the ground could not be captured by the naked eye. After a moment, the voice on the other end of the radio spoke calmly and said, "Gentlemen who are flying, it seems that the outpost you thought was not the real one. The enemy's small reconnaissance personnel have already reached the edge of the village, and they are shooting indiscriminately, probably just testing the truth. If they get intelligence on our actions or detect our radio communication, they will not mobilize troops at all. Unless... all our previous judgments and speculations are completely wrong Just then, an arrogant guy with a Türkiye accent came in and said, "Don't worry, even if the enemy is the regular army of the Arab Kingdom, you can't take any advantage of the elites of the Ottoman imperial guards in the past. You know, ten years ago, those Arabians would tremble when they heard our reputation!" Colonel Biten replied calmly, "Oh, Major Iskan, I have to say that your Hebrew is very good among non Jewish Turks. Now that we talk about the Ottoman Empire, we must admit that it had a glorious history that shook the whole of Europe, but it is only history. Unfortunately, if people want to see the greatness of the Ottoman Empire again, they can only go to the library. When people talk about Türkiye's elite troops, they may not think of the Ottoman Guards, but of some troops of the Republic of Türkiye." The Türkiye accent smiled slightly: "The Ottoman Empire is not only worth remembering by Turks like us. For you Jews, isn't the Ottoman Empire the only Eurasian power that adopts a kind attitude towards you and opens its door to you in your special difficult times?" In the relatively short history of the Ottoman Empire, Jews did indeed receive preferential treatment from Ottoman rulers. Jews expelled from Hungary in 1376, French Jews expelled by Charles V in 1394, and Jews expelled from the Sicilian Islands in the early 15th century all found refuge in the Ottoman Empire. On the other hand, Jews have played a positive role in promoting the economic development of Ottoman Türkiye, and this relationship of interdependence has also transcended the change of dynasties. Under the rule of the Republic of Türkiye, Jews are still welcome and sheltered. Therefore, Jews do not need to mourn the collapse of the Ottoman Empire like Major Iskane and other former veterans. The commander of the "flying army" did not say anything, and the Turks did not ask: "Well, before ending the call, I would like to reiterate our tactical strategy by the way - my men will not fire until the main force of the enemy enters range; when we fire, the enemy will be dead everywhere!" No problem, Colonel Iscan. Maybe we had already thoroughly repaired the enemy before you opened fire, allowing them to escape with their tails in between, "Colonel Bitten replied. "That's the best! I don't like casualties in the army, although no battle can completely avoid casualties." The Turkish replied. So, the wireless communication between the air and the ground came to a temporary end. On the outskirts of the village, Arab scouts rode horses back and forth, constantly firing shots into the sky, but did not easily enter the village. The history of Jewish establishment of the town of Amona is only five or six years, but most of the buildings are sturdy wooden, stone or brick and concrete structures, and considering the need for self-defense, the distribution of buildings is compact and orderly. The armed militia of the "Flying Army" occupied the buildings to the east, north, and center, and dispatched a team to assist the local militia in defending the pasture. The Irish Foreign Army organized defense based on the buildings to the south and west, and some residents gathered in the church to the west of the village center, while others hid in their own basements to avoid the war. In addition to deploying reconnaissance and surveillance planes in the air, the Jewish side also deployed many secret sentries around the outskirts of the village. They used wired telephones or wireless walkie talkies to continuously report the enemy situation to the command personnel in the village. The Arab scouts who initially arrived at the outskirts of Amona had only twenty or thirty cavalry. Soon after, a vanguard of over a hundred people approached Amona from the east, each wielding a saber or long hair, some carrying rifles, some carrying revolvers, and several American made Thompson submachine guns. The weapon models were probably a mixed bag. Immediately afterwards, a loud whistle pierced the night sky, and the sound of running hooves converged into a film. Arab riders rushed towards Amona in groups. Before they could enter the village, the sound of guns rang out, and the Jewish militia couldn't wait to fire. The Arab riders approaching the village immediately turned upside down. But upon closer inspection, many people fell to the ground due to horses being frightened or panicking, and not many were actually shot or killed by bullets. On the rooftop of a three story building, Colonel Iscan, the fully armed commander of the "Mohammed" Battalion of the Irish Foreign Legion, held a telescope in one hand and pressed the leather holster on his waist with the other. Behind him, the communication soldier carrying the battlefield radio station crouched down to maintain vigilance;In his depth, a soldier with a stern expression crouched on the ground, observing the ongoing battle through the sniper scope of the Hubert III semi-automatic rifle;In the backyard of this building, a three person mortar team has dug makeshift shelters and is ready to support Jewish militias against Arabs at any time. With the flickering light, Iscan saw the Arab riders receding like a tide, leaving only the unlucky ones who had lost their flattery running wildly behind. The former Ottoman Guard officer with a long scar on his left cheek sneered, "If we shoot like this, even if we run out of bullets, we may not be able to repel the Arabs. Militia is militia, and even if we train for a long time, we cannot use it as a regular army About a minute later, the gunfire completely subsided. Just as people thought the Arab offensive had come to a temporary end, gunshots rang out from the pastures to the north, with pistols, rifles, and machine guns mixed together. In less than half a cigarette, flames flickered in that direction, and the sound of grenades exploding came one after another. After a moment, the communication soldier reported to Iskand, 'Sir, Colonel Bitten is calling for you!' Iscan gave a cold smile, turned around and picked up the microphone: 'Colonel, it seems that your people are too impatient. Their advantage in ambush operations has been easily squandered by them. Ranch? You have 40 people there, three submachine guns, one machine gun, and a warehouse that is very suitable for defense. It is more than enough to deal with cavalry without heavy weapons. Can't you hold on in just one round? No, this situation is very unsuitable for transfer. Tell them that staying in the warehouse is safer than anywhere else at the moment, and soon a team of elite soldiers will go to support them... Yes, support is necessary. Once the enemy finds the village difficult to conquer, and the resistance of the ranch is relatively weak, it is very difficult to resist.' It may shift attention to the ranch and even deploy the main force to attack. How many people should be sent over? If they can hold on until reinforcements arrive, two teams of soldiers will be enough, but if they lose the warehouse, at least fifty people will be enough to be safe
