Within six days, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat had to plead for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire: so many Egyptian units were cut off, wrecked by air strikes, under attack, or fully encircled that no major forces were left to stop the advancing Israelis – not even to guard the road to Cairo.
短短六天内，埃及总统萨达特被迫请求立即、无条件停火：太多的埃及部队被拦腰截断，无法躲避空袭和地面炮火，或者被完全包围，以致于没有大部队能阻止以色列人进攻——甚至无法保卫通往开罗的道路。
