Chapter 166: The 7th Division
"Your Excellency, the 7th Division has now moved to the Obihiro area, and in three hours, we will be able to advance to Kushiro, and now, Kushiro is in a fierce battle, as long as we take Kushiro, the invading Soviets will have no way to retreat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Hearing that the head of the agency wanted to dispatch the 7th Division back, General Aoki, chief of staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force, said.
In front of him was the head of the Defense Agency, Watanabe Hideyoshi, today, since the beginning of the incident, all the people are here, and they haven't even eaten, but what they get is one bad news after another.
The confrontation in the air, despite the help of the US Air Force, was defeated by the Soviets, who firmly grasped air supremacy, and at sea, the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans, who did not control the itinerary of the Soviets' sea fleet, were frightened back by the Soviets' two terrible fighters!
At the beginning, the US-Japan defense agreement was clearly stipulated, but now, the island country is in danger, but the Americans are unwilling to rush to the front!
The Americans lost more than a dozen F-4s, so they decided to temporarily abandon the offensive and wait until the new F-15 fighter wing was launched from the mainland, and by that time, Hokkaido would have been planted with red flags!
And the most intolerable thing for them is that the main force of the Soviets actually boldly penetrated Chitose and seized the most important station in Hokkaido! Now, the Air Self-Defense Forces of Hokkaido no longer have an air base to use!
Obihiro must be recaptured! As the supreme commander and directly responsible to the prime minister, Watanabe Hideyoshi gave the order for the next step, which was to immediately let the 7th Division retreat and recapture the Chitose base!
Layman! Pure layman! Hearing his words, General Aoki knew that something was wrong. Immediately gave new advice.
The head of the Defense Agency is a civilian. It can be said that the prime minister, who won the election, was artificially appointed, and did not have any experience in commanding battles at all! He did. It's just like the mustache of World War II, commanding indiscriminately!
The 7th Division had already reached Obihiro, and their mission was to seize Kushiro and drive the Soviets out to sea, and now, after more than five hours of long-distance travel, they were just in a state of exhaustion, and if they had pounced on Kushiro after Obihiro had replenished fuel and rested for a while. It's going to be a new force, but now, it's hilarious to go back and back!
When you go back, you are in the most exhausted state and recapture Chitose? It's hard to rely on the 7th Division alone! And as long as Kushiro is recaptured, then the Soviets will naturally collapse without a fight.
"Nope." Watanabe Hideyoshi said categorically: "Chitose is next to Sapporo, and there can be no mistake, the Soviets captured Chitose." The next step will definitely be to besiege Sapporo, which has our population of almost a million and is the administrative and industrial center of Hokkaido, and there can be no losses! It must not cause panic among the people! ”
If only the Chitose base. Then forget it, the main thing is that Chitose is a few tens of kilometers away from Sapporo, for armored forces. One charge is over, and Sapporo can't afford to lose!
7th Division. Chitose must be retreated, and that is their base camp!
When I received an order from my superiors. The commander of the 7th Division, Lieutenant General Kitaro Sato, couldn't help but scold his mother.
Yaga! Go back now? Recapture Chitose? This is simply an order from a fool! Looking at the Type 74 tank behind him, Kitaro Sato was going crazy.
Of course, he didn't know that the Soviets were driving directly from the road, and in order not to be attacked by the Soviets' fighters from the air, the armored units of the 7th Division were all directly off-road from the field, walking in a straight line, and the road was bumpy and at the weakest time, and the fuel had run out.
After refueling here, you can just pounce on Kushiro, and if you return to Chitose, then when you reach Chitose, you will just run out of gas, how can you fight? The fuel in the Chitose base must have been cheaper than the Soviets!
What to do? Night had already fallen, and Lieutenant General Kitaro Sato crumpled the order and threw it to the ground.
"Order, continue the attack on Kushiro!" Kitaro Sato shouted.
Resist the order, this is the tradition of the soldiers of the island country! As a veteran who participated in World War II, Kitaro Sato doesn't pay attention to the orders from above at all, and winning the battle is the most important thing!
Attack, keep attacking!
The 7th Division, refueled, continued to advance to the east, and at the forefront were the three tank regiments of the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd, with their guns held high, and in the darkness, only the roar of the engines, roaring.
Sitting in a command tank, Kitaro Sato is still looking at the latest battle report, the 5th Division has already fought with the defenders of the Soviets in Kushiro, the Soviets do not have many troops, and the number has been figured out, it is the 105th Airborne Division!
The Airborne Division is simply not comparable to the elite Ground Self-Defense Force of the island nation! Now the 5th Division has a gray nose, mainly because the 5th Division is too poorly equipped, and the Type 61 tank is like paper paste in front of the opponent, as long as its Type 74 tank goes up, it will definitely be able to kill the other party!
After World War II, the island nation developed the Type 61 tank, and after it was finalized and equipped with troops, this tank lagged behind, and it did not have an advantage at all in the face of the Soviet T-62 tank. As a result, the development of the second-generation tank 64 began.
The L7A3 105mm tank gun, which was imported from the United Kingdom, could fire shell-shedding stabilized armor-piercing and armor-fragmenting shells introduced simultaneously, a NATO-standard tank gun capable of tearing through the armor of the Soviets' main battle tanks.
At the same time, the high-power 700-horsepower engine, with a new shooting and sighting system composed of a two-way artillery stabilizer, a ruby laser rangefinder, an analog ballistic computer, and a periscope sight, the performance of this tank is very advanced, and it is not far behind the Western world.
Keep moving!
The tracks are crushing the ground, the liquid-gas suspension system is cushioning the bumps, and the tanks are moving forward rapidly, getting closer and closer to Kushiro.
Port of Kushiro.
"Quick, comrades, hurry up!" On the wharf of the port, cargo ships are nervously unloading at this time.
Thanks to the heroic efforts of the Air Defense Force and the Air Force, the cargo ships were able to emerge from the Kunashir Waterway without danger and finally arrived at Kushiro Port when it was dark.
With a boom, the T-72 tanks of the 14th Guards Tank Division roared onto land.
The arrival of the 14th Tank Division made the defenders of Kushiro Port breathe a sigh of relief, this powerful new force will completely crush the defending enemy!
This day was very difficult for the 105th Airborne Division. (To be continued.) )
