On October 6, 1973, Israeli forces were defeated for the first time in nearly 20 years when the Egyptian 3rd Army made a surprise crossing of the Suez Canal and quickly overran the defenders. Israeli military leaders immediately began drawing up plans to not only regain lost territory, but to cross the Suez Canal into Egypt. Noticing what appeared to be a gap between the Egyptian 2nd and 3rd Armies, Israeli military leaders sent three divisions with bridging equipment racing for the Suez - straight into the laps of the Egyptian 16th Infantry Division and the 21st Tank Division. The battle that followed was to be the wildest and most important battle of the war.*
