...two damaged Centurion/Sho’t tanks engaged approximately 150 Syrian T-55 and T-62 tanks. In the course of the following 30-hour tank battle, the two tanks knocked out over 60 tanks

It took them several hours to move cautiously along the Tapline route that went parallel to the border. The situation of the Israeli forces was quite desperate – heavy and effective Syrian artillery fire was causing untold damage to the units and the local IDF was in disarray. Lieutenant Greengold hoped to link up with some of the units still fighting in the area and to provide fire support, but on October 6th, 1973 at around 9PM, his 4-tank tank force ran into a full company of Syrian tanks in column formation.
The Israelis – true to their training – immediately drove their tanks into hull-down positions and turned their 105mm guns towards the unsuspecting enemy. Suddenly, one Syrian T-55 appeared from the darkness ten meters from Greengold's tank. Zvika's gunner immediately fired and blasted the T-55 apart but the explosion knocked out the Centurion's radio circuit, effectively cutting Greengold off not only from other tanks but also from the rest of his crew. Zvi Greengold decided to get out of his tank and to make his way to the second Centurion next to him. He made its commander switch tanks with him and gave him the order to follow his lead and do exactly what he did. This unfortunately did not succeed – both tanks advanced together for a while, but without radio contact the second tank could not keep up and got lost in the cold desert night. Greengold's tank was left all alone

Greengold's two tanks engaged the opposing T-55s at 2100 hours, with Greengold destroying six. Later, he had lost contact with his other tank when he spotted the advancing 452nd Tank Battalion. He engaged the enemy, taking advantage of the darkness and moving constantly to fool the Syrians into thinking the opposition was stronger than it was. Greengold destroyed or damaged ten enemy armoured vehicles before the confused Syrians withdrew, believing they were facing a sizable force.[2] Even Greengold's superiors were deceived; as the fighting wore on, he did not dare report how weak he actually was over the radio for fear it would be intercepted; at best he could only hint "the situation isn't good".[4] At a time when Force Zvika was only one tank, Colonel Yitzhak Ben-Shoham, the brigade commander, assumed it to be "of at least company strength".[5]

For the next 20 hours, he fought, sometimes alone, sometimes in conjunction with other tanks, displaying an uncanny knack for showing up again and again at the critical moment to tip the scales of a skirmish. He had to change vehicles "half a dozen times"[1] as his tanks were knocked out. He soldiered on, even after he was wounded and burned.[1] When Nafekh itself came under attack from a fresh force of T-62s, he rushed over to bolster the defense.[1] In a lull in the fighting, an exhausted Greengold got out of his latest tank and dropped to the ground, murmuring, "I can't anymore
