The tracks crushed the port of Tokyo, and the steel chariots rumbled to the docks, and the addition of this latest tank made everyone's hearts immediately excited. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Why was there a truce in the first place? Why did they agree with the Soviets' idea to cede northern Hokkaido to the Soviet Union? And not because the armored forces of the Soviets were too powerful! None of the tanks in the West could withstand the fire of 125-mm tank guns, and at the same time the West did not have enough confidence to penetrate the main armor of Soviet tanks.

In terms of air force equipment, the United States was ahead of the Soviet Union, and in terms of army tanks, the Soviet Union was far ahead.

"Yes, just half a month ago, this tank was finalized and entered the low-speed production stage, and thirty units were produced first, all of which were equipped with our First Cavalry Division." Major General Field, the division commander, said proudly: "Our tank, which is powered by a gas turbine, has excellent acceleration performance, and the armor protection is much higher than that of the previous model, and now the 105 mm tank gun is temporarily used, and the 120 mm tank gun can be directly replaced when it comes out." ”

The power of a gas turbine! The biggest feature is that the torque is large, the start is fast, after entering the first cavalry division, the first batch of tank soldiers are stunned, the automatic transmission, as long as you step on the accelerator, a few seconds, can accelerate to fifty kilometers per hour! On the battlefield, you can avoid the opponent's shells at the moment when they fire them!

The full combat weight of more than fifty tons, and the armor protection is also quite excellent, in terms of tonnage, it is enough for the standard of heavy tanks of World War II, when depleted uranium armor has not yet come out. This initial production version used the Chabukhan composite armor, which itself had its own protective capabilities. That is, the ability to resist armor-piercing and armor-piercing is comparable to that of the British Chobham.

In later generations, this tank has been developed since 71. Chrysler won the bid in '76, officially opened in '78, and was given the number M1 by the Army, and 110 M1 initial production models produced from '79 officially entered service with the U.S. Army in '81.

And now, the Americans can't wait, and the M1 tank, although it is still under development, has been hastily finalized and partially produced in small batches. To be used by the Army, it is necessary to have a ground combat vehicle that can compete with Soviet tanks! The M60 is not qualified!

Sure enough, seeing the arrival of this tank, the island self-defense forces were jubilant, and the haze of many days was swept away, as if it was a sign that they were about to launch a counteroffensive and regain Hokkaido.

However, the 1st Cavalry Division was only stationed at the Yokota base and did not immediately attack to the north.

A direct exchange of fire between the US Army and the Soviet Army? Just a fool. are able to think of what this means, the outbreak of the Third World War!

The arrival of the U.S. Army was to deter the Soviets from continuing to move south, and at the same time to encourage the islanders. Let the island people go north by themselves!

"We now have six divisions on hand, three of which are armored divisions. If the people of the island nation dare to take the initiative to provoke, that is our opportunity. "In Kushiro. A meeting is underway.

Soviet occupation of Hokkaido. It has been consolidated through the agreement reached with the United States, and the Americans have long lost the opportunity, and now, the Americans want to plan a counteroffensive by the islanders, which is simply a fool's dream!

"Yes, the order from Moscow has come down, if the islanders dare to continue to provoke a war, we will fight back fiercely!" Commander-in-Chief Yazov said, waving his hand and slamming it on the table.

"Now, the islanders in front of us have mobilized eight divisions, but their equipment is mostly in Type 61, and there are only two divisions in Type 74, so our pressure is not very great." "Our fighters have a high fighting enthusiasm and strong faith, and it is not difficult to hold the line and fight a beautiful counterattack, but I am still worried about the threat from the air and sea," Andrei said. ”

There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Army, but in modern warfare, it is quite important to master air and sea supremacy, and in the case that the MiG-29 and Su-27 are still far from entering service, the main force in the air is still the MiG-23, and the MiG-25 is small in number and cannot afford the huge air consumption.

In addition to the transfer of the First Cavalry Division by sea, the Americans also transferred several squadrons of fighters reequipped with F-15s from China, and at sea, the second US aircraft carrier battle group, the Enterprise, also came, forming a two-carrier battle group with the Kitty Hawk, which greatly increased its power.

Once air supremacy is lost, the US Army will not move, but the more than 400 UH-1 helicopter gunships of the First Cavalry Division will definitely come all over the world and pose a serious threat to their own armored forces.

The existing air power of our own side is already the maximum against land-based fighters, and this cannot be solved by increasing the number of fighters, and the narrow airspace makes the command of the Soviet Air Force and Air Defense Force, which has weak electronic information capabilities, even weaker.

"Yes, Moscow also pays special attention to our current problems." "As long as we hold out for a few more days, the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Kiev will arrive, and we can use this formation of anti-submarine cruisers to contain the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans," Yazov said. As long as we get entangled with them and make them unable to attack on land, we will be relieved of a lot of pressure. ”

The aircraft-carrying cruiser Kiev, the aircraft carrier of the Soviets! Andre kept his eyes on it, with this aircraft carrier, it would be much easier for his side!

Aircraft carrier Kiev! As a huge red empire capable of confronting the United States, the Soviet Union also had aircraft carriers, and in addition to the first-generation Moskva-class helicopter carriers, it began to build the second-generation Kiev-class aircraft carriers.

In September 68, the Soviet government adopted a resolution approving the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry to stop the construction of a third anti-submarine cruiser of the "Moscow" class and the construction of a Project 1143 anti-submarine cruiser at the Black Sea Shipyard, which would carry from 20 to 22 Ka-25 helicopters and Yak-36M vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

In 70, the construction of the ship "Kiev" began at the Black Sea Shipyard, and V.H. Kolchagin was appointed chief builder. In December 72, the anti-submarine cruiser "Kiev" was launched, in 74 the outfitting was completed, mooring tests and sea trials began, and in 75 the first stage of state acceptance of the "Kiev" and its carrier-based aircraft was completed. In July 76, "Kiev" with 5 Yak-36M and 1 Yak-36MY, sailed around Europe to its station in the Northern Fleet, becoming the flagship of the Northern Fleet. (To be continued.) )
