Chapter 321: Far Water Can't Save Near Fire

The capital of the island nation, Yokota base.

Lieutenant General Paul James, whose eyes were bloodshot, had never had a good night's sleep since the situation in the direction of Hokkaido, and now, he was lying in a break room next to him almost in his clothes, and when the situation occurred, he was woken up again.

When he came to the command headquarters here, he looked at the mark on the map, and couldn't help but gasp, sure enough, he was guessed by the navy!

When the Navy reported that it was judged that the Soviets might take the middle route and go straight to the Chitose base, Vice Admiral James still felt that the Navy was worrying about the sky, and that your Navy had not completed its mission today, was this intended to be remedied?

Although Lieutenant General James didn't believe it very much, he sent some search teams to go there to see, what if the Soviets really had their brains pumped?

And now, the news that came back surprised Vice Admiral James extremely much, and actually made the navy say that the Soviets dared to take the middle line and pass through an armored unit from the snowy mountains!

It seems that the Soviets wanted to replicate the Germans' crossing of the Ardennes during World War II!

If the Soviets managed to cross there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Because it is true that there is emptiness, that is, like a red-hot fork forked into a cream cake, the Soviets will easily pierce Sapporo, to the Chitose base.

Sapporo is an important city in Hokkaido, and once the Soviets occupy the city, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is equivalent to occupying the whole of Hokkaido.

And the Chitose base in the south of Sapporo is the main air base in Hokkaido, and once it is taken out, the air force will also suffer a lot of losses.

It can be said that although the Soviets are in danger, if they succeed, the situation in the whole of Hokkaido will deteriorate to the point of no return, and at that time, maybe the whole of Hokkaido will be Soviets.

The Soviets proposed to keep the Moe-Kushiro line, in fact, they were fooling people, making them think that the southern part of Hokkaido was safe, and sending all their troops to the north, who would have thought that the Soviets would actually take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the entire Hokkaido!

It's too much, it's so hateful!

Fortunately, the Soviets did not succeed!

"General, we can't let the Soviets cross the snowy mountains, otherwise our rear will be in danger." Nobuhito Matsushita, the head of the island's Defense Agency, said to Lieutenant General James.

Of course, the island country is in a hurry, and Hokkaido is in danger.

Lieutenant General James frowned: "Of course we can't let the Soviets succeed, but now, we must be too late to mobilize our troops." ”

In the snowy mountains, it is not easy to mobilize troops! Whether or not the army can pass there is a question, and if there are no heavy troops, what is the use of just passing the infantry?

The Soviets, who must have been prepared for a long time, began to survey the route of the Great Snow Mountains and find a passable road long ago, especially their intelligence officers, who must have studied the map many times.

Besides, the Soviets are not afraid, just like the landing on the Shiretoko Peninsula, they will no longer use tactical nuclear weapons to blow up impassable places.

Soviets, it's so hateful.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General James frowned again, and he said: "Now, we can only dispatch the Air Force and the bomber force to completely bomb the Great Snow Mountain!" ”

What is this called! Throwing bombs on one's own territory is something that only a fool would do, and, because it is now in the dark, the accuracy of the bombing cannot be guaranteed, which means that if you want to be able to catch the Soviets and bomb them, it is better to use carpet bombing!

The island country attaches great importance to the surrounding ecological environment, and the island country's Daisetsuzan National Park is simply a paradise of nature, and this time, once bombed, it will cause a serious ecological disaster, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover.

But now, is there any other way? If you can't block the armored forces of the Soviets, then Hokkaido is all Soviet, what's the use of a good environment? Not for the Soviets yet?

"I agree to bomb the area around the Great Snow Mountain." Nobuhito Matsushita said that although he still needs to go back and report to the cabinet, now, there is no time to wait, and every minute of delay is dangerous.

"If you want to carry out a thorough bombing of the Great Snow Mountain, you need to use B-52 bombers, and B-52 bombers are deployed in Guam." Now that the bombing has been decided, there is another problem.

Carpet bombing, which involves dropping a large number of bombs in a short period of time, is not possible with ordinary aircraft, only strategic bombers.

Although the United States has stationed troops in island countries, especially deploying a large number of air forces, it has not deployed them in island countries, and the nearest one is Guam.

During the Cold War, the United States had to maintain a 24-hour uninterrupted nuclear deterrent, and in the Air Force, B-52 bombers were also flying in the sky without stopping, ready to counterattack the Soviets at any time.

However, this is mainly the Arctic route, and American planes go around the North Pole, after all, everyone looks at each other across the North Pole, and at the same time, these bombers carry nuclear bombs, so they can't drop nuclear bombs on the snowy mountains, right?

It would take several hours to take off from Guam and fly to Hokkaido using Guam bombers.

Far water can't save a near fire.

What is needed now is to immediately stop the Soviets from breaking through in the Great Snow Mountain, not waiting until after dawn, a few hours, enough for the Soviets to climb the Great Snow Mountain in its entirety.

Lieutenant General James couldn't help but be in a dilemma, the only thing the Air Force could get his hands on was the F-15 fighter, relying on advanced radar, it could search for traces of the Soviets' tank forces in the snowy mountains, and the advanced synthetic aperture mode could even show the shape of the ground.

However, the current F-15 fighter has been implicated by the engine, because of the defect of the engine, the F-15 has been completely grounded, and now the new F-15 fighter has an empty tail and no engine to install.

What should I do with the existing F-4 fighters with insufficient radar performance?

Just when he was worried, Vice Admiral James suddenly thought of the Navy's Tomcat, the airborne radar of this fighter is quite strong, it is said that Major Nathan once flew at an ultra-low altitude on the ground in the mountains, if the Navy came to help find the route of the Soviets' armored cluster, then the Air Force's various fighters could be swarmed up.

The E-3 AWACS aircraft can also detect vehicle targets on the ground, but if the opponent is in a valley, the AWACS aircraft is powerless.

Well, just leave it to the Navy, haven't they always boasted that their Tomcat fighters are omnipotent?

Give the Navy an order to find the specific location of the Soviets first, guide your own air force to attack, wait until this round of attacks has passed, and when dawn comes, the B-52 fleet arrives, and then completely bomb along their marching route!
