247: Chapter 347: Food rationing implemented throughout the Kingdom of Judah.

Lieutenant General Sergei, after receiving the "Eagle" series fighter jets, immediately arranged to replenish the 1st Air Defense Command and deployed them to the battlefield.

He procured 350 "Eagle" series fighter jets, which would be divided into 5 aviation combat brigades. Each aviation combat brigade would oversee three aviation squadrons, possessing approximately 70 "Eagle" series fighter jets.

Among these, 3 aviation combat brigades would be allocated 50 "Eagle" Type IV jet multi-role fighters and 20 "Eagle" Type V jet multi-role fighters.

Another 2 aviation combat brigades would be allocated 20 "Eagle" Type V jet multi-role fighters and 50 "Eagle" Type VI jet multi-role fighters. These two aviation combat brigades, possessing more advanced fighter jets with higher performance, would possess stronger combat capabilities.

The pilots and ground crew for these 5 aviation combat brigades would be drawn from the Western Military Region, with requirements to enter training as soon as possible, striving to attain combat readiness in a short period.

After completing the formation of these 5 aviation combat brigades, Lieutenant General Sergei would hand them over to the battlefield commanders to be used as the main force for air combat.

Although many "Tianlong" Series UAVs have been deployed on the battlefield, the addition of the "Eagle" series fighter jets could further improve control over the enemy's airspace, creating conditions for gradually completing the no-fly zone over the enemy country.

After one week of offensive operations, the Anti-Judea Coalition Aqaba Front Command eliminated one Mechanized Infantry Brigade and two temporarily formed infantry brigades of Israel, successfully capturing Hatzeva.

In the joint advance of the Pakistan and Afghanistan armies, the Safed and Sodom front lines were already within reach. During the attack on Safed, Pakistan deployed 3 Mechanized Infantry Brigades to engage in a struggle against a temporarily armed infantry brigade stationed by Israel.

Israel, regardless of whether they were veterans, recruits, or civilians, now forcibly ordered anyone who could be pulled onto the battlefield to go to the front lines and engage in combat. The combat effectiveness of such an army could be imagined; it was fortunate that those units composed purely of recruits did not collapse under continuous shelling.

The Pakistan army's attack on Safed encountered such recruit units. After only a few hours of shelling, upon entering Safed, they found the Israelis surrendering one after another. After all, some recruits had never even seen a battlefield and only knew the basic action of firing a gun; how could they possibly resist?

The Afghanistan army's attack on Sodom was also very smooth. After some veterans and officers of the Israel army were eliminated, the remaining units either disintegrated or surrendered.

After some fighting, the Aqaba Front Command pushed the front line north by a significant portion. The next step was to advance to the coast of the Dead Sea and link up with the Iraq army, driving the Israel army westward and capturing each settlement one by one.

Iraq, after a long period of mutual attrition with the Israel army, finally broke through Israel's border defense line, destroying more than half of the solid fortifications that Israel had painstakingly built, forcing the Israel army to retreat and build new defense lines.

The cost of this was that Iraq had 4 Mechanized Infantry Brigades crippled in succession and had to draw troops from within the country to replenish them; otherwise, they would almost lose the ability to continue fighting. Other armed forces also lost 2 Mechanized Infantry Brigades.

However, the results achieved were also good, causing the Israel army to lose more than 1 armored division and 2 Mechanized Infantry Brigades, further weakening the strength of the Israel army.

The Anti-Judea Coalition could withstand such losses, but for the Israel army, every one eliminated was one less, with few opportunities for replenishment. After all, Israel's population was only so large, and the number that could be forcibly conscripted would not be particularly high.

Now, Israel had even recruited some employees from defense enterprises into the army to fight. In other various technology companies, industrial enterprises, and so on, many people had to leave their companies and join the army. The impact of this was significant, and if it continued, it would completely destroy Israel's economic foundation.

The Saudi Arabia army, together with the armies of other North African countries, joined forces to recapture places like Halutza one by one and advanced towards Beersheba. As long as Beersheba was surrounded, a new offensive front would be formed with the simultaneously advancing Pakistan and Afghanistan armies, and Israel's defensive space would be completely compressed.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Saudi Arabia army was not good, under the circumstances where Major General Faye activated his financial influence to encourage the armies of other North African countries to charge at the forefront of the attack, the Saudi Arabia army still achieved a series of results, and their own losses were within a controllable range, which would not cause dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers of the army.

Major General Al-Sisi of the Sinai Front Command led the Egypt army to continuously exert pressure on Israel's Tel Aviv, forcing Israel to dispatch a large number of troops to defend its actual capital to avoid being surrounded and captured.

This resulted in many settlements not having enough troops for protection. Major General Al-Sisi seized this opportunity and dispatched the Egypt army to wantonly clear out the garrisons of Israel's settlements, not even sparing the temporarily formed military police units of the settlements.

These military police were the most severe in their suppression and persecution of the Palestinians. After all, they were in direct contact with the Palestinians, and many Palestinians had been beaten or even shot by these military police.

But such Israel military police were still not enough in front of the regular Egypt army. When rooting out Israel's settlements, although these military police resisted, the intensity of the resistance was not very high and could not pose any threat to the Egypt army.

As the Egypt army successively rooted out settlements everywhere, Israel's economy was dealt another blow, and it could only use its own strategic reserve materials to continue to survive, along with the USA aid materials that were transported in sporadically.

This made the difficulty of Israel's defense increase again. Without the replenishment of logistical supplies, the resistance will of the Israel army would drop; they could not just hold on while lacking clothes and food.

To solve this problem, General Gadi had already implemented a food rationing system for the entire Israel populace. Except for the Israel army, which could obtain relatively abundant food and other logistical supplies, other civilians were basically in a semi-starved state, with no way to obtain sufficient food.

Of course, General Gadi and these high-level government and military officials were not affected, and the supply was still very sufficient. Only in terms of quality of life had they dropped a level; wanting to eat France foie gras again was already impossible.

Such a decline in quality of life had already aroused dissatisfaction among some high-level officials in Israel, who wanted to push for an early end to the war and not continue fighting.
