Battle of El Argoup - Campaign Series: Middle East 1948 -1985

[Al Hasf, 25km SE of San'aa, Yemen: [SIDE B][HIS][CSL]: Five Hundred Royalists, under Prince Abdullah's command, attacked an Egyptian position on top of a sheer-sided hill that was fortified with six Soviet T-54 tanks, a dozen armored cars and entrenched machine guns. The Royalists advanced in a thin skirmish line and were plastered by artillery, mortars and strafing planes. They replied with rifles, one mortar with 20 rounds, and a bazooka with four rounds. The assault lasted a week and cost the Egyptians three tanks, seven armoured cars and 160 dead.[ALL: NOVV][NONE][1.00]
