Chapter 187: The First Cavalry Division Arrives

As a tank designer, Kartsev was quite talented, or he would not have distinguished himself in the Nizhny Tagil Design Bureau and became the chief designer, and now Kartsev has gradually taken a back seat, leaving the deputy chief designer Veneditov with more design tasks. This is also the reason why he can lead the team to Kushiro www.biquge.info otherwise, he will have to stay in Lower Tagil.

Now, Kartsev has an indescribable excitement, and he feels that this visit to Kushiro is too worthwhile! The harvest is just too great.

Armor, ammunition, fire control, Andrei is right, and even, Andrei put forward a lot of "whimsical", but absolutely practical ideas!

For example, in the fire control system of the tank now, the laser rangefinder is already a must-have, and Andrei proposed that it is possible to develop a laser suppression system to interfere with the opponent's laser rangefinder, and when the opponent's laser emission source is discovered and tracked, the power will be increased immediately, and the opponent's laser rangefinder will be directly "burned through" to form a soft kill.

This kind of whimsy, but with a certain degree of feasibility, opened Kartsev's mind, yes, it can be done like this!

So, that night, when Kartsev stayed at the guest house in Kushiro, he didn't sleep all night, thinking about Andrei's idea, he couldn't wait to go back to Tagil immediately, especially the idea of the armor-piercing bullet, whether it was correct or not, go back and verify it!

…………

Tokyo, an island nation.

"It's coming, it's finally here!" Several diminutive islanders, dressed in the uniforms of senior officers of the Self-Defense Forces and wearing white-gloved fingers, looked at the merchant ships in the distance.

Lieutenant General Paul James, commander of U.S. forces in Japan. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after a long voyage. Army units brought in from the mainland, along with heavy equipment, have been brought over!

Recent wars. The Americans held back their anger, and when the armored forces of the Soviets landed in Kushiro, the Americans found that they could not deal with it! The main reason is that the United States considers the island nation to be safe, and only the air force and navy are stationed, while the army, which is the main ground war, is not stationed here.

In the end, it is still the army that determines the outcome of the war! I think of what new theories the domestic air force is engaged in, relying only on the high-intensity strikes of the air force. To be able to disintegrate a country's will to fight is simply nonsense!

"Report, the 1st Cavalry Division has come to camp in the island nation." Looking at Lieutenant General Paul in front of him, the division commander of the 1st Cavalry Division who came down from the ship, the hunky Major General Field Taylor, saluted Lieutenant General Paul in front of him.

1st Cavalry Division! In the army, in addition to the 1st Cavalry Division, the 1st Armored Division can get the first number. At this time, the 1st Panzer Division was stationed in Germany, ready to guard against the Soviet attack, and was on the front line. And the 1st Cavalry Division, although in the United States, but. Once various situations arise, they will definitely be the first troops to be sent.

Although it is called a cavalry division. This division did not have a single horse, it was a heavy army in the full sense of the word. In fact, it is an armored division.

This division was formed in 1921, as a strategic reserve in the United States, has participated in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, is the first ace army invested by the United States in various wars, after the Vietnam War, this division returned to the United States for rest, just over a year, it came to the battlefield again.

As an ace division, the 1st Air Cavalry Division had a total of 16,000 people, and during the Vietnam War, it began to have more than 400 UH-1 helicopters, becoming an air assault division. At the same time, the main land equipment of the 1st Cavalry Division is also the advanced M60A1 main battle tank, which cannot be quickly reached by air, and can only be traveled by sea and across half the world, which is already the fastest speed.

"Good work." Lieutenant General Paul said to the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, "Our task is very heavy, and if we want to retake northern Hokkaido, this battle will not be easy to fight. ”

Remembering that he was forced to sue for peace at that time, Lieutenant General Paul was also quite depressed, if he had not sued for peace at that time, the Soviets would have occupied the entire Hokkaido by now, and when the time came, it would be an impossible task for their own side to cross the strait to carry out landing operations, and now, with the territory of southern Hokkaido, their own armored forces can be stationed there at any time and attack directly to the north.

The Soviets were content with the status quo, they seized half of Hokkaido, and they were already happy, what a fool! Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Paul will have some confidence.

"Yes, we were at sea, and we got the news that the Soviets' new tanks were very powerful, and the Type 74 tanks of the island nation did not have any advantage in front of their 125-mm tank guns." Major General Field said.

The overall performance of the Type 74 tank of the island country is similar to that of its own M60 tank, and since the Type 74 tank is vulnerable, its own M60 tank will also face the strangulation of the Soviet Union's armored forces.

"Yes, the Soviets have an advantage in weapons, but we also have our own advantage." Lieutenant General Paul said: "As long as we seize air supremacy, the 1st Cavalry Division can take advantage of helicopters. ”

The 1st Cavalry Division can be called an air assault division, with a large number of UH-1 helicopter gunships, and through anti-tank missiles, it can kill huge armored clusters, of course, this premise is that they have seized air supremacy.

The new F-15 fighters are being transferred from home, and they must outperform the Soviet Union in terms of equipment!

"Boom, boom." While chatting here, the equipment on the cargo ship was already gradually moving downward, and everyone opened their eyes wide as they looked at the heavy equipment that came off the ship.

"Oh, what's that?" The officers of the Self-Defense Forces of the island countries who were present could not help but be surprised.

The first to come down was not the tall M60 tank!

The length and width are larger than the M60, but the height is much lower, and the rumble of the tail engine is not like the sound of a diesel engine, with a certain whistling. The most obvious change is the turret at the top, which is not a rounded cast turret, but a new type of turret with edges and corners welded!

It must be the newest American tank, a weapon used to restrain the armor of the Soviets!

At this time, the driver in front of him, with his head out, looked at the road in front of him, and rumbled up.

"Our new tank has been finalized and put into service?" Although Lieutenant General Paul is a lieutenant general in the Air Force, he still has some knowledge of land warfare weapons. (To be continued.) )
