Hannibal's classic double envelopement. This may be what's in play writ large as they draw the enemy to the south and now the air cav comes in behind.
But, I doubt this is happening as I don't think they can airlift enough of a strike force into the rear. No, it still looks like they're drawing the bear away from the honey jar long enough to go in and snatch it. Hope they get the captives too.
