"Among the island forces in the south, M1 tanks appeared?" Andrei, who took the document, also had an incredible look in his eyes: "So, the Americans are planning to start a new war?" ”

In the confrontation at sea just now, the Americans were told that if the US Navy dared to come up and provoke, the Soviet aircraft carrier group would carry the powerful "MiG-25 carrier-based fighters" and conduct a wonderful naval battle with the US Navy at sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info had just breathed a sigh of relief, but something new had appeared on the ground.

The fact that the U.S. Army was stationed in the island nation last month, but only at the Yokota base, and not to the north, is a signal that the Americans do not dare to really break out into a direct conflict with the Soviet Union on the ground, after all, the consequences will be undesirable for both sides.

However, in just one month, the most advanced main battle tank of the United States actually entered the Sapporo base in Hokkaido. Are the Americans going to decide to do it?

As the standard weapon of the U.S. Army for decades later, the advanced nature of the M1 is needless to say, although the power of the gas turbine is fuel-intensive, but it allows the bulky tank to have good maneuverability, and the acceleration performance is difficult to compare with the German tank. Although there was no depleted uranium armor, the composite armor made on the basis of the British Chobham armor technology was quite strong. Although it is still a 105-mm gun, the advanced ammunition developed by the Americans themselves makes this tank gun powerful, especially against their own T-72 tanks, which are not at a disadvantage in the face of firepower.

"We did not observe the presence of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, and in our opinion, the Americans should have transported the equipment. Leave it to the islanders to operate and test the performance of this tank. "The commander of the 5th Tank Division on the side. This was stated by the Deputy Commander of the Army of the Hokkaido Front, Colonel Dorofeev.

The Americans remained in Yokota, and only a small number of American tank crews came. It is not for war, but to help train the people of the island countries, and it seems that the Americans are very sophisticated, and as long as the two armies do not formally clash, there is still room for relaxation.

"It seems that the Type 74 tanks of the islanders must also be produced at full capacity." Andrei analyzed: "If they have new armor-piercing shells and other ammunition, it will also have great lethality to our tank troops." ”

In the last battle. The Type 74 tank will be able to tear through the main armor of the T-72 at close range, and if it is replaced with more advanced ammunition, its own tank troops will be greatly threatened in the next battle.

Hearing Andrei's gap, Colonel Dorofeev couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up: "Commander Andrei, you guessed correctly, in the past few days, the islanders have deployed at least two new Type 74 tank regiments on our defensive line. And the number is growing. ”

These days Andrei went to sea with Gorshkov and did not stay in Kushiro, so the military intelligence on land Andrei did not see. Now it has been analyzed that the islanders are stepping up the production of new Type 74 tanks to supplement the consumption of the last time.

"It seems that the people of the island nation must not be willing to accept our occupation of northern Hokkaido. Trying to start a war to regain these territories. Andrei said: "We must not allow the conspiracy of the islanders to succeed. ”

At this time. A group of high-ranking officials had returned to the headquarters in Kushiro to discuss the next situation.

"The Americans have already signed agreements with us. Ceding these territories to us, it is absolutely impossible for the islanders to take them back. General Yazov said: "If they dare to come, we will give them a head-on blow!" ”

Looking at the latest battle report, Andrei couldn't help frowning: "Is there any news from the Tagil side?" ”

The existing T-72 and T-64 125-mm tank guns are difficult to destroy the American M1 tanks at a long distance, and when they get closer, the American M1 tanks will give full play to various advantages, in short, to the detriment of the Soviet Union.

Fighting for an advantage by numbers? That would mean the sacrifice of Soviet tank crews! Thinking of the T-72 that was blown out of the turret, Andrei couldn't bear to let such a tragedy continue to happen!

When Kartsev came to Kushiro to visit, Andrei gave Kartsev suggestions on his various ideas, which were also adopted by Kartsev, but Andrei was only talking on paper, and armor-piercing shells with a larger length-diameter ratio and explosive reactive armor were not so easy to make.

"There are still many problems in terms of explosive armor, in terms of armor-piercing shells, tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells have been tested, and after lengthening the aspect ratio, the armor-piercing ability has been greatly increased, and there are many praises over there, a few days ago, the Kartsev designer also personally called and wanted to communicate with Commander Andrei." Colonel Dorofeev said: "Moreover, depleted uranium armor-piercing shells are being developed over there, and the armor-piercing effect is quite good, but there are still problems with the process and cannot be mass-produced." ”

Although Dorofeev was only a colonel, as the head of the Hokkaido Army and as the commander of the ace Fifth Tank Division, Dorofeev's troops would be the first to be equipped with new armor-piercing shells and reactive armor, and he was also qualified to receive this information.

Depleted uranium armor-piercing shells are all made? If there is a problem with the process, I am not afraid, and I am not afraid if I can't produce it in large quantities, one shot is enough! Hearing the news, Andrei's face finally appeared with joy: "General Yazov, I have an idea that I can continue to confuse the Americans and buy us time ..."

August '77 was a hot, tumultuous time.

There is a sad atmosphere throughout the island country, the Soviets have occupied the northern part of Hokkaido! Now, a few months on, it seems that the island nation has no hope of reclaiming its territory.

The island countries are vigorously reorganizing their armaments, and the required expenses come from increasing domestic tax revenues, so the island people endure heavier taxes, which have become tanks and guns and ammunition.

The island nation is also constantly preparing, and the eyes of the world are looking here, will there be another war?

At the same time, there are more journalists who realize that if they want to get the most valuable news in the world, they need to come to Hokkaido and find news from here!

Albert, a Times Times reporter, won this year's Pulitzer Prize last time for being the first to discover the presence of reconnaissance equipment in the wreckage of a downed passenger plane on display in the Soviet Union, becoming the most envied journalist among his peers. (To be continued.) )
