Chapter 271 The battle begins
The air battle was over, and after Andre returned to the ground, he received confirmation that the defected Cobra helicopter had arrived in Kushiro safely. However, before defecting, the helicopter also did a major task of killing the American division commander, the chief of the island defense office and the chief of staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force!
Now, there is no room for relief. The angry islanders will definitely attack us! So, this urgent combat meeting began.
The islanders and Americans have an excuse. Now, this excuse is enough. Last year, they successfully gave up this idea by wearing armor-piercing missiles that were 1,000 deep and MiG-25 carrier-based aircraft. Now, this deception has passed, and we are ready!
Let the revolutionary fire arrive more violently. This time, it is a battle to completely change the island regime!
"Our ground troops have made all preparations." Dorofeyev said: "Neira Team 74 tanks and m1 tanks are not our opponents. We have issued the latest tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs, which have a depth of more than 700 mm and can penetrate all the tanks on the opposite side. At the same time, our reaction armor is put on, which can effectively protect our tanks."
Last year, under the suggestion of Andrei and under the promotion of Kartsev, the new tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs and reactive armor were being developed rapidly, and the process of depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs was still under study. The tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs with an increase in the aspect ratio has been successfully finalized and equipped with Hokkaido's t-64 and t-72 tanks. At the same time, the reaction armor, those brick-like things, were also put on outside the tank. Although the increase in weight affects the mobility, the protection is definitely first-class.
Andre nodded, wanting to gallop across the Hokkaido area. Tanks are the main assault forces, and these have always been the advantages of the Soviets.
However, if the tank troops can perform normally, another prerequisite is required: air supremacy!
Without air supremacy, nothing can be done. With air supremacy, the opponent's tank troops can also be solved by their own armed helicopters!
The Americans realized the importance of air supremacy more deeply. At the Thousandsea Base, they equipped the island countries with more than 20 F-15 fighters. This time they were killed by their own side, and there were more than a dozen! At the same time, on the southern Honshu Island, the US Air Force is also rapidly replacing the F-15s. Now the US fleet stationed in the island country already has more than 60 F-15 fighters!
Hokkaido's airspace is small, and dozens of fighter jets can block the entire Hokkaido. So Andrei knew that once the war begins, the battle in the air will still be the key to determining the outcome!
Fortunately, the MiG-31 and MiG-23 combination has been proven to be the most effective after verification! Our side can completely restrain the F-15 fighter jets and compete for air supremacy!
The MiG-25 Flying Regiment stationed on Haiyan Base on Guohou Island will be mainly used to defend against the sea direction. Once the US Navy comes to support it, the MiG-25 will intercept them!
"Our Air Force and Air Defense Force must also be fully prepared. As long as the alarm sounds, it must be able to take off the air to fight. If there is any problem in any aspect, the person in charge will wait to go to the military court!" Andre said.
When he was at the Sokolovka base, Andrei reformed the ground staff and used the method of conducting a maid competition to eliminate unqualified backdoor soldiers. Now, as Andrei's status in the Far East Military Region is getting higher and higher, his plan is also being promoted on a large scale. Moreover, the Far East Military Region is now facing great pressure from war, and those backdoor soldiers and the guys who are scattered are all eliminated, and the Far East Military Region has become an efficient combat force.
"We expect that our Kushiro will be the focus of the enemy's attack." Dorofeev said to Andre: "Commander, can you take our headquarters to move to Matsu?"
Bagetsu is the base of the Pacific Fleet, which is under construction on a large scale and is also suitable for the establishment of the headquarters. Kushiro is on the front line and wars will occur at any time. It is inappropriate to establish the headquarters here.
Hearing Dorofeyev's words, Andrei shook his head firmly: "No, Kushiro Port is the most suitable headquarters location for us. As the commander, I will always stick to it."
Just kidding, retreat at this time? Andre, who came from the Air Defense Force, only attacked but not retreated!
"After the commanders returned to the troops at all levels, they conveyed the spirit of our meeting and encouraged the soldiers. We are about to engage in a great war to liberate the proletariat in the island country!" Andre said.
To put it short, the specific combat arrangements were formulated as early as when we occupied this place. The islanders still wanted to fight ground wars. Did they have their minds? Didn’t they know that the Soviet Union’s advantage was ground troops? The rolling torrent of armor even trembled in Western Europe!
Outside, the night is getting darker and darker.
"Room, rumble." In the quiet night, the roar of the engine seemed particularly harsh.
Huge tanks drove out of the White Chest Base and headed towards the north, moving quickly.
Seven pairs of heavy-bearing wheels, the tracks are constantly moving forward, and the body of the car sometimes even flys up when passing through the gullies, but the entire tank is still as stable as Mount Tai. This most advanced tank is so powerful to walk!
Inside the huge welded turret, Teng Sakuragi, the commander of the 91st Tank Regiment of the 9th Division, was calmly observing the surroundings through a night vision device.
The area controlled by the Soviets is getting closer and closer. A battle is about to break out. The honor of regaining lost land first belongs to the glorious 9th Division!
Historically, the Ninth Division was a Division A Division of the Old Island Army organized in Kanazawa area. It is one of the six new divisions added in 1898 after the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, also known as the Kanazawa Division.
The personnel of this division are composed of soldiers from Toyama Prefecture, Ishikawa Prefecture and Fukui Prefecture in Hokuriku. The people in these three places are very distinctive. The people of Ishikawa Prefecture are quite conservative and cloaked, so they are taciturn. The people of Toyama Prefecture are those kind of thrifty rationalists and have strong practical abilities; while the Sabue and Totsuga in Fukui Prefecture are quite upright and hard-working. The 9th Division takes these people as the backbone and becomes a well-known division. From the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War to the Second World War, this unit has been fighting on the front line. Bad and tough battles have forged the glorious title of the 9th Division, which is considered to be a pair of gems within the army.
Unfortunately, these have nothing to do with the current 9th Division. After the end of World War II, the entire island country's army was disbanded. The current 9th Division of the Ground Self-Defense Force of the Island Country was adapted from the 9th Mixed Regiment and was later incorporated into the 9th Logistics Support Regiment, the 9th Air Defense Regiment, the 9th Flying Team, the 9th Chemical Defense Team, the 9th Anti-tank Team, etc.
