Of course, the regular army of the Egyptian army has not yet recovered, the air force has been bombed out, the civilian armed forces will not go out of the city to attack, and the British and French ground forces are still considered safe.
"Since you are trying to find a way to withdraw from this war, let me reveal to you a piece of information we have obtained. Of the three Soviet warships that entered the Mediterranean Sea, two of the destroyers are more threatening than the cruiser."
On November 11, when Eden and Dulles met in Washington, Dulles casually reminded him.
Eden: "They passed through the Turkish Straits without waiting, and I think they are now sailing in the Greek Islands."
Dulles knew that Eden was complaining about the fact that the United States gave Turkey permission to release, but he continued to finish the sentence:
"In 1953, our fleet in the Taiwan Strait was heavily hit by Chinese anti-ship missiles, which was the main reason for our heavy losses. Now China and the Soviet Union share missile technology...it can accurately hit the target at around 20 miles, and the power On the small side, light cruisers and above in your fleet are hard to sink, but watch out for your destroyers."
……
Tel Aviv.
"Soviet warships are equipped with Chinese anti-ship missiles, which can accurately hit the target at about 20 miles away, but the power is relatively small, and it is difficult for the warship to be sunk."
British Commander Ketterly advised Israeli Chief of Staff Moses Dayan.
"Soviet warships are equipped with Chinese anti-ship missiles, which can accurately hit the target at about 20 kilometers, but the power is relatively small, and it is difficult for the warship to be sunk."
Moses Dayan relayed to Israeli Navy Commander Shumur Taknu.
On the "Eilat", Captain David Uzziah observed that the Soviet destroyer, which had been following them when sailing from Jaffa, turned 15 degrees to the right and gradually moved away from the Israeli fleet.
Since yesterday, two Soviet destroyers have appeared in the Eastern Mediterranean, one is monitoring the Israeli Navy outside the port of Haifa, and the other is outside the port of Jaffa.Whenever an Israeli warship or transport ship sails, it will follow for a certain distance. If it is going to other places, the Soviet destroyer will return; if it is bound for Egypt, the Soviet destroyer will follow to the end.
Soviet destroyers were tracking the Israeli ships, and Israeli, British and French aircraft were also monitoring the three warships of the Soviet Navy over the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
"Are the Soviets planning to end their mission?" David Ursia asked puzzled.
"Probably headed to sea to receive supplies," said the first mate. "They left Sevastopol on October 10, and it has been a week now."
David Uzziah: "This is a destroyer of more than 3000 tons. No matter how bad it is, it will have 14 days of self-sustainability."
Chief officer: "It may be as you said, the Soviet Union is really going to end its deterrence mission."

“We noticed that in the early hours of November 11, Israel was still invading Egyptian territory, using heavy artillery to open fire on defensive positions in Port Said. Israel has clearly violated the ceasefire agreement and is a major challenge to the peace of the Suez Canal. We urge the Israeli government to immediately Restrain the troops, stop combat operations, or face serious consequences."
In the middle of the night, the Soviet Foreign Ministry suddenly issued a statement with poor words.
"From the early morning of November 11th until one hour ago, the Israeli army not only ceased fire and did not withdraw its troops, but continued to fight outside Port Said, and continued to increase troops and deliver ordnance and ammunition to the front line from the mainland. The Israeli government disregarded the warnings of world public opinion, Defiant of the resolution of the ceasefire, intensified aggressive actions against Egypt. The Soviet government warned the Israeli government for the last time and immediately retreated from the front line."
This is a statement from the Soviet Foreign Ministry at 11 am.
"Goal 1, 28 kilometers; Goal 2, 29 kilometers; Goal 3, 31 kilometers; Goal 4, 35 kilometers."
On the bridge of the "Experience" destroyer, the radar has read the positions and headings of four Israeli warships and cargo ships. The captain, Captain Sahaji Yang, with frenzied excitement in his eyes, pointed to the missile soldiers in front of the fire control computer screen. Order: "Left missile launcher, lock on all targets."
"Comrade Captain, target 4 is not going to Port Said, but on the way back from Port Said, should we also attack together?" the political commissar reminded.
"The fleet has been authorized to attack all Israeli warships and munitions ships along the coast of the Sinai Peninsula," Sahajiyan said. "There is no limit to where the heading is, just look at its position. Move faster, the target 4 is far away from us."

A "Sunderland" seaplane patrolling the sea from Cyprus.
Britain and France decided to cease fire in accordance with the opinions of the United States and the Soviet Union. When Eden informed the Israelis of this decision overnight, Ben Gurion showed great resistance, and even bluntly stated that Israel would not give up the achievements it had made on the ground in the past few days.
Since Israel wanted to go alone, Aiden also let him go.The matter of the Suez Canal is about to start a new resolution in the Security Council, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month to go through the process. After more than a month... Eden feels that he should not be the prime minister at that time.
After the London stock market plunged on October 10, the House of Lords cursed endlessly. On November 31, Eden received his first impeachment. He estimated that it was only a matter of time before his cabinet collapsed.
Below the "Sunderland" seaplane are destroyers and requisitioned freighters of the Israeli Navy.Half an hour ago, the destroyers of the Soviet Navy were still monitoring the Israeli warships more than ten kilometers away, but then the Soviet warships turned around and opened the distance, and the British seaplanes focused on the Israeli warships on the sea.
Although Israel is now alone, the two sides cooperated together a few days ago. It is not a bad thing to pay attention.
"Look! Look! What's that!"
The navigator of the seaplane exclaimed.
Two streams of white smoke, one behind the other, appeared on the sea quickly, about 1 km apart, and the white smoke extended at an extremely fast speed.The first puff of white smoke arrived first, biting the cargo ship following the destroyer.Then the navigator, the bombardier, and the self-defense machine gunner all saw it: the cargo ship first raised a puff of gunpowder smoke, and then the whole ship exploded into a huge fireball.
Bombardier: "It's a missile!"
The second white smoke was only a few seconds away from the first, and it bit the Israeli destroyer.Exactly the same as before, gunpowder smoke came out from the port and starboard sides of the Israeli destroyer. Obviously, the left and right sides of the destroyer were completely blown out.

"Under normal circumstances, the Soviet navy would not take the initiative to attack British or French warships," Tang Hua expressed his speculation at the meeting, "The United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and China are permanent members of the Security Council. If wars are fought in the name of countries, the UN Security Council structure may disintegrate. But Israel is different, and its treatment cannot be equal to that of Britain and France."
"On the one hand, the Soviet navy is already in place, and the Soviet navy is likely to be eager to show itself, because the navy needs to prove its importance in front of General Secretary Khrushchev; on the other hand, Israel has not honestly joined Britain and France Stop fire, isn't this looking for a beating?"
In the Eastern Mediterranean, the "Sunderland" seaplane, which had witnessed everything, turned a corner and looked back to see what happened along the way.Soon, the seaplane spotted the third and fourth ships lying on the surface and burning.
It was simply horrific, within seconds two Israeli ships were shot and 5 minutes later, the Israeli destroyer, which stopped at sea to save itself, ate another missile.
On the afternoon of November 11, the "Sunderland" seaplane sent a report to the Fleet Command to report everything that happened here.On the "Experience", Saha Jiyang also asked the signal soldier to send back a telegram describing the battle situation.
In the first round of strikes, four missiles passed, and 4 of 3 were hit.Then, Sahajiyang turned the warship around 180°, and used the right-facing quadruple missile launcher to replenish two more, one to attack the cargo ship that was not hit, and the other to hit the ship. Israeli destroyer.
Now, the sea is completely quiet.
The "Eilat" was quite active in the first few days of the war. On November 11, it cooperated with another destroyer "Jaffa" of the Israeli Navy to destroy the destroyer "Ibrahim Aiwar" of the Egyptian Navy. The destroyer struggled to escape back to the Egyptian port. Destroyed by the British and French air forces.
On November 11, the "Eilat" itself disappeared.
Chapter 145 Let's watch the Olympics
On November 11, the West finally realized that Mao Xiong's reputation for being quick and steady was well-deserved.If Israel does not stop firing and does not withdraw its troops, the Soviet Union really dares to fight.Not only did he dare to fire, but he would beat him to death as soon as he made a move.
One and a half rounds of missile strikes by the "Experience" emptied all Israeli warships and cargo ships on the route from Jaffa to Port Said.Extremely shocked, Israel quickly stopped its plan to resupply Port Said from the sea, and the other three transport ships that had already left the port retracted.
The sea transportation is gone, and the nearly 11-kilometer road from the Israeli mainland to Port Said has been repeatedly damaged by the Egyptian army and militants, and has been very blocked.In addition, the Soviet Union was targeting Israel's illegal actions of not withdrawing its troops. The Israeli army was forced to stop its shelling, and left Port Said on November 8, alternately covering and retreating.
For several days after the incident, neither Britain nor France spoke out for Israel's beating. I don't know if they had nothing to say, or they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
On November 11, the two destroyers "Experience" and "Mighty" docked at the Syrian port of Tartus, where they refueled and refueled.The Syrian military and civilians, who had close ties with Egypt and had been preparing to attack Israel to encircle Wei and save Zhao, welcomed the Soviet warship with great courtesy. Citizens in half the city ran to the beach, waving the Syrian and Soviet flags and shouting and singing.
Also on the same day, the "Dzerzhinsky" visited the Egyptian port of Alexandria-these three ships were originally a formation, but Egypt and Syria are now very excited, so they are still divided into two teams to perform their visits.
The entire war lasted for 9 days, and the British, French and Israeli coalition forces had always had the upper hand on the battlefield: by the end of the night on November 11, more than 6 British and French soldiers had been killed in action, more than 30 Israeli soldiers, more than 200 Egyptian soldiers, and about 700 others. Civilians died.
But Israel's casualties have to add a small tail: beaten by the Soviet Union. There were a total of 3 people on board the "Eilat" destroyer and three freighters, of whom 350 were killed and 87 were injured.
……
In the Suez War, Britain was the most injured, and the United States was the one who took the knife.
