Fighting in Gaza has been going on for almost two months since the Israeli army launched a large-scale ground war. In order to quickly take down Gaza, the Israeli army has brought over almost all of the army's active combat brigades, and at the same time has dispatched more than 10 reserve brigades to participate in the war, and even military cadet battalions and training and training units have been put into the war zone.
So far, in addition to the absolute superiority in air, sea, artillery, armor, and logistics, the IDF has even formed an absolute numerical superiority in troops.
And compared with other battlefields in the world, IDF operations have two unique "treatments":
First, it can ignore the world's **, implement almost any tactics it wants to use, bomb residential areas on a large scale, cause a huge number of civilians in a short period of time**, and even frequently "mistakenly kill" its own people, even the US military will be ashamed. However, if Israel does this, the United States will not hesitate to "go retrograde" with the whole world.
Second: it can get "open" aid from the US arsenal, which is different from the "open" aid of the United States, which depends on Washington's face like Ukraine, but the "supply" type of aid from the United States. What the IDF wants, the US military must be airlifted as soon as possible, and even the US military itself has to deploy its fleet and land and air forces to help Israel deter surrounding forces.
It stands to reason that with the "not being a man" style of play and the absolute superiority of the force to crush the past, it has been 80 days of fighting so far, including two months of ground warfare, and it is not a big problem to eat a mere 365 square kilometers of Gaza;Even if you can't eat it, at least defeat the other party and win a clear victory, it's not a problem, right?
After all, what does the latter have?
Not to mention warplanes, ships, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and howitzers, among the various types of armed forces in Gaza, there are not even a few large-caliber mortars, and there are few regular anti-tank missiles, and the main reliance is on rocket launchers, rifles, and improvised devices.
This level of equipment, not to mention compared with the Ukrainian army, the Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh armies, is even inferior to all kinds of weapons on the Syrian battlefield before. After all, there are more armed ones, at least some small drones and anti-tank missiles are not a big problem, and Gaza is under Israel's long-term blockade, and only a part of the materials can be smuggled in, mainly relying on "hand-rubbing" processing, and its number and level are quite limited.
Therefore, even if we know that the current IDF combat strength is not as good as in the past, and even when we know that it was severely beaten on October 7, no one dares to say that if Israel eases up and overwhelms it with all its strength, the Palestinian armed forces in Gaza will be able to carry it for too long.
After all, war is essentially a competition of resources, and Gaza is really too different from Israel, and according to the posture of the Israeli army at that time on the basis of 170,000 active troops, and 360,000 reserves, how can Gaza follow the more than 500,000 Israeli troops to contend with?
However, nearly two months have passed since 27 October, and the Israeli army has still not taken northern GazaAs for the fighting in the south, it has also been stagnant for many days.
At this juncture, news came that the Israeli army's number one ace brigade, the 1st Golani Brigade, had withdrawn for reorganization. The dignified Israeli army's "Tianzi No. 1" Brigade was defeated first before it had eaten Gaza.
What?Gorani Brigade, how do you hear it so well?
Of course, this is familiar, and netizens who are familiar with the history of wars in the Middle East will not be unaware of the famous ace unit of the Israeli army;Friends who have recently paid attention to the war in Gaza certainly know that the Israeli army was killed in Gaza a few days ago by brigade commanders, battalion commanders, and several majors.
That's right, the "bitter master" who was put off is this Golani Brigade.
Another person in the picture above was killed in another location In the battle on December 12, the officers and soldiers of the 51st Battalion of the 1st Golani Brigade were attacked, and then the 669th Special Tactical Rescue Team of the Air Force was attacked for the second time, at this time the colonel commander of the Golani Brigade took the commander of the 13th Battalion and the company commander "Huluwa to save grandpa", and was ambushed again.
According to the information released by the Israel Defense Forces on the casualties, among the nine people killed here that day, including 1 colonel, 1 lieutenant colonel, 3 majors, 1 captain, 1 sergeant major, and 2 large soldiers, of which two were in Unit 669, and the rest were the Golani Brigade.
There are less than 10 people in total, there are 5 colonels, 1 lieutenant, but there are only 3 soldiers, you want to say that Israeli army officers are "leading the way", which sounds good, but in the modern army, the brigade commander goes to charge as a small soldier, so who will be the brigade commander to command the troops?You can't let the big soldiers be brigade commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders, and these officers will be organized into commandos and do the work of small soldiers, right?
Generally speaking, the "leading soldier" is the commander commanding from the front, and the normal is to press down by half a level, in addition to boosting morale, the focus is to strengthen the command, how can a brigade commander or battalion commander really go to be a small soldier, this is "unprofessional"!
Even if some old-style armies engage in "officer commandos," they are often mainly company and platoon-level officers and soldiers, and who will put brigade commanders and battalion commanders into the officer commandos?Moreover, the "officer commandos" of the old-style army often still have some combat effectiveness, and this kind of "overlapping ambush" is really a big head.
Of course, the evil result of the hard delivery is not only a few people, the key is that these people happen to be the commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders of the Golani Brigade.
And it was the 1st Golani Brigade that suffered great losses on October 7, according to the data released by the Israel Defense Forces, the brigade suffered 72 people in one day, and 1 person was seriously wounded and diedAlthough we all know that these figures are the most conservative, adding in the number of wounded, the brigade suffered no less than 300 casualties that day.
The casualties of no less than 300 people were concentrated in the 13th and 51st battalions, among which there were many company, platoon, and squad leaders.
Therefore, the participation of the 1st Golani Brigade in the ground battle in Gaza was actually a bit reluctant, and the tasks given to the brigade by the Israeli army were relatively light, but they were relatively exposed, which meant that they would pick up some credit and make an inspirational counter-killing plot in the history of war in the future.
But I don't want to give you a chance, you don't use it!
In the Shujaya community, several brigades under the command of the 36th Armored Division of the Israeli Army participated in the battle, but the 1st Brigade of the soy sauce was brushed out of the battle record, and the unlucky 13th Battalion and the 51st Battalion were also a colonel commander.
According to the former commander of the Golani brigade, Moshe Kaplinsky, said some time ago, the brigade's ** has reached a quarter of its combat strength.
So in this case, the retreat of the Golani Brigade is not difficult to understand from a military point of view.
However, as the number one ace brigade of the Israeli army, it could not hold the base on October 7 and was taken to camp;regrouped to "revenge", but was brushed up with the strongest record;These are ultimately dishonorable. In addition to the substance, it will be a big blow to the morale of the Israeli army, and conversely, it will greatly boost the morale of the Pakistani armed forces.
Moreover, the Golani Brigade had a bad record against the local Palestinians during its garrison in the West Bank, and was also the main force involved in the fight against Gaza in 2009 and 2014, so the defeat of the Gaza City by the Ministry was even more significant to the Palestinians.
Of course, the defeat of the Golani Brigade does not mean that the Israeli army has no strength, and the strength of the Israeli army is not a joke.
At the time when the 1st Golani Brigade and the Paratrooper Brigade were withdrawn and reorganized (note: it is likely that the main force will be withdrawn, and the supporting units and units with little damage to the combat strength should still be in the war zone, and if the fighting in Gaza is unresolved in the short term, they will come back again to find a field after resting), the Israeli army has newly invested the 4th Armored Brigade, the 11th Assault Brigade, the 646th Paratrooper Brigade and other reserve units, and the bitter fighting in Gaza will not be improved by the departure of the Golani Brigade, and the confrontation between blood and fire will continue.
