Sharon was attacking the strongpoint at Abu-Agheila to the South. Meanwhile, General Yoffe's armored group started its advance between Tal's and Sharon's forces. Avraham Yoffe's Division avoided any areas of heavy enemy concentration and rushed to the passes; in fact, he traversed terrain that was unguarded because the Egyptians believed that tanks could not cross over dunes. However, with the info they had gathered during the 1956 War, Israeli command managed to locate a narrow path going through Wadi Haradin. Wadi's western exit was defended by a weak Egyptian force. With the first lights of the day Yoffe's leading armor reached the exit. Egyptian infantry woke up with the tank engine sounds coming from the seemingly "impassable" wadi. They had to pay for this fatal assumption.

As part of the Israeli plan of Southern Command, Ariel Sharon was ordered to capture the road junction at Abu-Agheila in order to gain access to the central route into the Sinai Desert. The openening attack was taken by the 14th Armored Brigade on the Um-Katef Ridge which led to a plateu dominating all of the eastern approahces to Abu-Agheila. The strategic ridge was defended by the Egyptian 352nd Infantry Battalion attached to the 2nd Infantry Division. Egyptian forces dug-in around the ridge, were supported by T34/85 tanks from the 6th Tank Regiment. At 24:00 hours, Israeli infantry reached their attack positions. After a brief but intense artillery barrage, engineers, closely followed by the infantry stepped forward to open lanes for the waiting armor.

I hoped you enjoyed yourselves. Now, get on your web gear and get ready for a rumble in the 1950's jungles and hamlets of Indochina. Point awards and such will be awarded as I get time this week.
