Chapter 224: Fighting the Battle of Hokkaido (Gal. 2)

The paratroopers of the Soviet Union have a long history, the world's first paratrooper unit was formed by the Soviet Union, and it was not a World War II yet, in the military parade on Red Square in Moscow, those paratroopers fell from the sky and stunned all the spectators, from that time on, the military attachés present had an idea that they must form paratroopers of their own country!

At the same time, what is even more surprising is that the Soviets also airdropped a tank down, although this small tank could not be started after landing and was finally towed away, but the surprise brought to them was still very strong. What would happen if you airdropped this unit in your country's capital?

The results were, of course, quite terrible.

In many countries, there are no garrisons, and they are generally near the capitals, and by the time the garrisons arrive, the government has been overthrown and the top leaders have been killed.

The paratroopers, who were originally only lightly armed, were equipped with combat vehicles, it was different, they had greater mobility, more powerful fire support.

Now the newest Soviet paratrooper fighting vehicle is this BMII. paratrooper fighting vehicle.

This kind of car has a low appearance, the vehicle is less than 2 meters high, the track is narrow, the weight of the vehicle is very light, it can be transported by a transport aircraft, at the same time, it also has a 73 mm smoothbore gun, can be equipped with anti-tank missiles, combat effectiveness is very strong.

Although it can be airdropped, but in this situation, it is obviously a better decision to start it directly.

The An-22 is a super-transport aircraft, and in its belly, a total of six such paratrooper vehicles are loaded.

The first small paratrooper car rumbled down, and the paratroopers sat on it and quickly headed for the strategic point.

The first is the tower.

However, before they arrived, the fighters who got off the helicopter had already taken control of the tower.

This time, more than 300 people, including transport planes and escort Mi-24 helicopters, came.

Of course, they are just a striker, and their task is to take control of the airfield and welcome the arrival of the follow-up troops!

How many more follow-ups?

Hundreds of An-22, An-12 and Il-76 transport aircraft! The military operation of the Soviets either did not move or moved, or it was a landslide, and a transport of this magnitude used almost all the transport forces of the entire Far East, and it was possible to send the entire 105th Airborne Division at once!

At the same time, on the sea, there is already a huge fleet of ships, heading towards the port of Kushiro.

The task of the 105th Division is to land at the airfield in Kushiro, and from here, control the port of Kawaji, and hold on until the arrival of the main armored division at sea, you can sweep the whole of Hokkaido!

Now, in the tower of this civil airport, people are quite nervous.

"Sapporo, Sapporo, please pick me up at once." An island man shouted on the phone that with radio interference, they could no longer use the radio, and the wired phone could not be reached.

"Boom." The door outside was kicked open, there was no resistance, there was no confrontation, looking at the muzzles of those black holes, the islanders here had only one question, is the third world war about to break out?

"Use the reserved passage to guide our transport planes to land," said Molenko, the battalion commander of the 105th Battalion of the 345th Regiment of the 345th Airborne Division, who came in: "The runway lights are turned to the brightest, and safety must be ensured!" ”

As long as one transport plane after another landed safely, their troops would grow more and more, and now, although they occupied the place, they were still at their weakest.

Yokota.

"We lost contact with Kushiro, and there was strong electromagnetic interference there." Lieutenant General Paul James, listening to the report of his subordinates, suddenly felt a sense of relief.

This conflict, actually completely according to the Kitty Hawk's prediction to rehearse, the conflict of the military services temporarily put aside, this time the Kitty Hawk, did a good job, did a great favor to their side!

The Soviets really dare to use the Airborne Forces to pretend to be a civil airliner, this time, they must make the Soviets die an ugly death!

"Take off the AWACS aircraft immediately. From now on, all air forces must obey the command, let us fight this battle for the defense of Hokkaido! ”

The United States has been a turtle with a shrunken head for several years, and even when the Soviets shot down a civilian airliner, the United States only dared to protest and protest again, but now it is different!

If the Soviets want to land in Hokkaido across the sea and take the initiative to provoke a war, then naturally, they should no longer deliberately avoid a conflict with the Soviets, but will fight back fiercely!

At the Yokota base, an E-3 AWACS aircraft, which had been on standby for a long time, slowly slid onto the runway.

When radar was invented, it immediately became the eye to observe the sky, so that the incoming enemy aircraft could not hide, but due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, radar could not observe the aircraft flying at ultra-low altitude.

This can only be achieved by bringing the radar to the sky and shining it on the ground, but the clutter from the ground will interfere and the target cannot be found from the clutter.

This is the first problem of airborne AWACS.

The United States has successfully solved these problems by relying on its own advanced electronic technology, and at the same time, using the latest Boeing 707 passenger aircraft, it has developed the latest E-3 early warning aircraft.

From the outside, the large plate on the back of the aircraft is the most special thing compared to other aircraft.

This large plate is a radome, with a diameter of 9.1 meters and a thickness of 1.8 meters, supported by two pillars at a height of 3.3 meters from the fuselage. A radar antenna system is installed inside.

(Yes, this radar antenna is a flat slit radar antenna, so the big plate is very flat, and the technology of the United States is so developed that it is enviable.) )

This radar system enables the E-3 to provide radar surveillance capabilities of the atmosphere, ground, and surface. The detection range is more than 320 kilometers for low-flying targets, and even longer for medium-altitude and high-altitude targets. The identification of friend or foe subsystem on the radar system has the ability to look down and can resist ground clutter interference.

Of course, such a state-of-the-art early warning aircraft is also quite valuable, and according to the current currency value, it is as high as 270 million US dollars, which is definitely a strategic weapon.

After the completion of the research and development of the E-3 early warning aircraft, the first batch of early warning aircraft was sent to Western Europe, and last year, the Yokota base was finally assigned this advanced E-3 early warning aircraft.

Now, everything is under control!

The meteorological conditions at the Yokota base were good, the large E-3 AWACS aircraft, the four engines suspended under the wings, spewing hot gas backwards, and the huge fuselage slowly accelerated, accelerated, and at the end of the runway, it slowly pulled up.

There is a large plate on the back of the aircraft, and the aerodynamics have been greatly affected, and this kind of aircraft must be served carefully.
