Chapter 153: Frog Jumping Tactics
There was no suspense, on the dock, there were soldiers of the 105th Airborne Division who had arrived in advance directing the tanks to go ashore, and the dock of Kushiro Port was wide, and more than a dozen cargo ships docked almost at the same time, and then sent the army on board to the shore at the same time.

If this scene is seen by the US military, it is estimated that they will vomit blood with envy, and in World War II, if the Allies also landed like this, how good it would be!
History will not repeat itself, only by having a keen insight into the fighters, skillfully taking advantage of the opponent's weaknesses, and not tiring of deceit, can we hit the opponent's soft underbelly heavily!
This surprise attack had a miraculous effect, that is, the Soviet Red Army easily occupied the entire Kushiro at the cost of more than a dozen wounded! Firmly controlled this important port, through which the Soviet Union could continuously bring in a steady stream of new troops.
Vladivostok.
"Andrey, it's all thanks to you that we were able to successfully occupy Hokkaido this time." In the command of the Far Eastern Military District, Lieutenant General Yazov said to Andrei.
At that time, the original plan formulated by the military region was to fight across the sea, rush through the Soya Strait, first destroy all the fortifications on the opposite side with the help of powerful air raid aircraft groups and long-range artillery, and then use a large number of ships to transport the army over, which is a complete replica of the Normandy landing.
With the strength of the Soviet army, there was no problem in fighting Hokkaido without an American garrison, but the imperfection of this plan was that there was too much movement.
The Air Force, artillery came on the field together, as soon as the war began. The whole world knows that the Soviet Union is going to occupy Hokkaido, if nothing else. At most ten minutes, a fleet of American aircraft taking off from the mainland. There will be a large-scale air battle with the Soviets' fighters, and in this case, there will be an undefensible situation, and the fight will get bigger and bigger, and even a large-scale local war will break out.
Therefore, the Soviet Union made two preparations, intending to notify the United States as soon as it started, which was to fulfill the order left by Stalin that year. To divide the island countries, it is hoped that the United States will recognize the situation and not get involved in this battle, otherwise the Soviets will not compromise.
And now, Andrei's plan has perfectly solved the problem, and now they have taken down all the Kushiro, and the islanders have not reacted yet!
Radio interference, coupled with the effects of fog at sea. In addition, there was almost no movement, and the Soviet Union had already occupied Kushiro without blood! The main purpose of the operation has been achieved, to obtain an ice-free port facing the Pacific Ocean! Pacific Fleet, which can easily be taken from here later. Sail to the ocean!
When Andrei first proposed the plan, many people thought it was too risky, and in the end it was Marshal Ustinov who made the decision. Now it seems, this bold plan. is the most successful!
"It's all the efforts of all the fighters, and the credit belongs to our entire Far Eastern Military District. Belong to our entire army. Andrei said: "General, can I go back to the original army and participate in the battle?" If nothing else, an air battle will surely break out tomorrow. ā
Back to the original unit! Whether in Sakhalin or in Iturupu, Andrei would love to go back and fight.
That day, after proposing this plan, Andrei was left behind on the grounds that Andrei's rank was not enough, and after coming into contact with such a secret, it was necessary to stay in order to prevent it from being leaked.
However, after Andrei stayed, he did not stay in the small black room, but in the staff department, he worked out all the plans, including the flight route of the air assault, including the transfer of the 105th Division, including the itinerary of the merchant ship transport landing force, including the cooperation of various units, Andrei knew that this was Ustinov's original intention, which was to train himself to become a commander.
Andrei was grateful from the bottom of his heart, but his hands were still itchy, and as a fighter, he hoped even more to be able to gallop on the battlefield, drive his own fighters, and compete with the Americans.
Now, the number of enemy planes shot down by Andrei has exceeded five, and he has become an out-and-out ace pilot of the Far Eastern Air Defense Forces, and Andrei hopes that the number of his own shots down can be further increased.
And now, the Far Eastern Military District, apparently, is going to hide Andrey.
Andrei, of course, knew that it was safe here, but Andrei was even more eager to spread his wings, especially after he learned that the MiG-31 interceptor had finally transferred from Mikoyan's test airfield, Andrei couldn't control his excitement even more.
If you are an eagle, you have to spread your wings and fly high!
"Now that our troops have landed at the port of Kushiro, from here, we must move quickly and quickly deal with the defenders of the island nation." Ignoring Andrei's application, Colonel-General Ivan Trecyanko continued.
Hokkaido is too close to Sakhalin, and in order to counter the Soviet Union in the north, the islanders have also deployed a large number of ground troops in Hokkaido, and there are four integrated divisions and brigades, the 2nd Division, the 5th Brigade, the 7th Division, and the 11th Brigade, with a total number of about 21,160 people.
Originally, the planned offensive line was to advance from north to south, and the first thing to be fought was Asahikawa's 2nd Division, but now, it has changed to a Kushiro landing from the east, and the battle plan has also changed.
From Kushiro to the west, first attack the 5th Division of Obihiro, then attack Chitose City, take down the 7th Division and the air base here, and finally attack Sapporo, so that the main force of the island country will be gone, and the 2nd Division in the north will be the turtle in the urn.
This plan was revised, but Andrei always felt that something was missing.
"The Fifth Tank Division, which has completed its assembly in the port, is now advancing towards Obiguang." Just then, a staff officer reported.
Frog Jump Tactics! In Andrei's mind, such a term suddenly came to mind, yes, frog jumping tactics!
This tactic was developed in the First World War in Papua New Guinea during World War II, when MacArthur, Halsey, and others, who were entangled with the Japanese Navy and Air Force, gradually formed their guiding ideology for the Pacific War: Under the condition that their own forces were limited, the attacking troops would not break away from the cover of the air force, and should make leap attacks along the central axis of the advance to the periphery of several important targets, that is, the "leapfrog tactic."
Guided by this thinking, the Allies successfully carried out more than a dozen amphibious landings along the coast of New Guinea, bypassing the Japanese fortified strongholds and targeting the Philippine island of Mindanao. In this way, the manpower and material resources of the US military have been greatly saved, and high results have been achieved at a low cost, which has become a model in military history.
Now that the Soviet army has landed in Hokkaido and transported a large number of Mi-24 Hind helicopters, the same tactics can also be used, bypassing Obihiro and raiding the Chitose base! (To be continued.) )
