Chapter 1128 is the same
Losing the protection of the Eagle and relying only on the aging F-4EJ, air supremacy in western Hokkaido soon changed hands.
While JASDF was trying in vain to withstand the Lucian air offensive, the Soviet attack aircraft group approaching the intended target had successfully suppressed a single Qiē ground anti-aircraft fire, and the screeching bombs and missiles were scattered across the land of Hokkaido, and important military targets, transportation hubs, and power transmission networks were subjected to heavy air strikes.
Unlike tactical strikes in the general sense, the Red Air Force's recent sustained air strikes are not entirely limited to military targets or important facilities directly related to military affairs, but are launched after announcements have been made through various channels to launch air strikes against any "suitable target" throughout Japan, in a way similar to "total warfare" to weaken the enemy's war potential.
Announcing in advance and then launching a swift air strike, regardless of whether the strike itself is "reasonable" or not, is a serious blow to Japan, which has joined NATO in a hurry.
Since the outbreak of the war in the Far East, a new contest has begun between the two major groups of East and West across the sea, and although the war has not yet evolved to the point of landing warfare for a while, the fighting in the sea and the sky has hardly stopped; For Japan, which is isolated outside the Eurasian continent and completely dependent on sea and air routes for its external relations, the air raids of the VVS will not hurt the muscles and bones for a while, but they can directly affect the feelings and mentality of the entire people.
Under an attack of unprecedented scale, warplanes roared. Bombs fly. A terrible air raid siren sounded in the skies over western Hokkaido.
An alarm sounded in my ears. Seeing that Lucia's fighters would bomb the air again, the staff and workers who learned of a series of communiqués through various channels and inevitably slackened their work and withdrew as soon as they heard the alarm immediately dispersed, and at the same time as the radar station, air base, fuel depot, and other military sites were attacked, empty ports, power plants, train hubs, and other important places were also hit by ammunition dropped by the Red Air Force.
In contrast to the chaos in other towns in the west, the village of Tomari, located on the northwestern coast of Hokkaido, was spared the onslaught, and the Red Air Force planes flew by to drop bombs and air-to-surface missiles dragging fireworks on other areas, but they paid no attention to this area.
"Bocun Nuclear Power Plant". Located in the western administrative village of Jimarari and the only nuclear power unit in Hokkaido, it was not included in the VVS list due to its particularity.
However, even so, the day after the start of the war, the Red Air Force sent a group of elite fighters to raid the "Bocun Nuclear Power Plant" and used precision-guided weapons to destroy a complete set of seawater cooling systems on the periphery of the power station.
In the face of the large-scale raid of the Red Air Force, JASDF saw that it would not be able to support it, and the stupidity of fighting against the Red Empire alone could only be done hard. The heavy losses were completely unbearable for the Japanese.
Since the start of the war, up to the top officials of the Japanese government. The most talked about topic of the grassroots officers and soldiers who went down to the line of fire, except for the "hateful red Lucia", was a series of complaints and complaints against the US military and the US government, blaming these arrogant and arrogant guys for not taking action and working together with the imperial people to help defend with all their might.
Could it be that the landing ships of the Red Party sailed into the Gulf of Tonkin, and the tracks and military boots set foot on the land of the allies, and this qiē did not matter to the Americans?
Unlike the JMSDF (Japan_Maritime_Self-Defense_Force, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force), whose main combat platform is domestically produced, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force, which is equipped with American-style arms and a small number of self-developed weapons, was once considered the most powerful air force in Asia before the war. In addition to the shortcomings in the organization, training, and operational principles of the JASDF itself, the negative attitude of the US military stationed in Japan is also one of them.
Japan's existence, as the most important part of the United States' Asian strategy, naturally has irreplaceable and unique value for the United States, and the beginning of the Cold War era has reinforced this point.
In the past few decades, Japan has experienced two local wars in Korea and Vietnam, and both have indirectly made a windfall with the help of US military operations, which is actually very helpful to Uncle Sam, two countries that have met each other in the Pacific Ocean and engaged in an unprecedented scale of sea and air battles, not only were not far removed by the two nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but actually gradually shortened with a series of cooperation between the two sides.
As an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the coastal waters of the Far East, the biggest beneficiary of the "US-Japan alliance" seems to be Japan, which is deeply threatened by the Red Party, but in fact it is fundamentally the United States on the other side of the ocean, and the rulers of both the United States and Japan are very clear about this.
On the basis of this reality, the Japanese side, which is willing to be its younger brother, hands over billions of dollars to the United States every year in "garrisoning troops and defense expenses," and the United States has also set up dozens of military bases and stationed tens of thousands of armed personnel in Japan; in the event of an incident in the Far East, in accordance with the pre-formulated and rehearsed operational plan, the US military stationed in Japan will act in concert with the Self-Defense Forces, the US forces stationed in Korea, and the armed forces of the Republic of Korea to deal with the threat from the west on the principle of strategic defense and tactical offensive.
Now that the two camps of the East and the West are really fighting, the United States of America, which has always boasted of its image as a "fortress of freedom" and "the world's policeman", has not done a good job.
Although the United States did participate in the war based on the "Japan-US Status of Forces Agreement" and its own strategic interests, it never put on a decisive posture, not only did not put the huge USAAF Seventh Air Force into the front line, but instead shrank the defense area to the densely populated Tokyo and Hanshin metropolitan areas, that is, the core of Japan's territory in the Kanchu region; The main forces of the Navy's Seventh Fleet, including nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, attack submarines, and a large number of surface ships, have retreated to distant Guam, Hawaii, and even San Diego on the US mainland.
In the face of the Red Empire, which was aggressive and clearly intended for a quick victory, the Americans' deployment was strategically clever, but it was very chilling to the allies on the verge of the Eurasian continent.
At the beginning of the war, the struggle for air supremacy in the Japanese Sea was in full swing, and although Japan, which was bearing the brunt of the Soviet Union, was struggling to support itself, the Republic of Korea, which was separated by the Korean Strait, was still unable to sleep at night and felt a deep sense of danger, even though it had not yet fallen directly into the fire pit of a world war.
Unlike its eastern neighbors, which were defeated in World War II but at least maintained a unified appearance, South Korea, which has been in a state of division since 1948, and the confrontation with the northern regime on the Korean Peninsula after 1948 is relatively inadequately militarily underprepared; although its weaponry is obviously superior to that of the North, its military size and actual combat capability are not necessarily stronger; now, under the US Far East strategy, it has to cope with the military pressure from the Soviet Union, China, and the DPRK at once, and after weighing the pros and cons, the ROK Government has taken the initiative to abolish the "complete wartime command" of the US military. It was announced that it would decide for itself the direction of the country.
Naturally, the United States is very dissatisfied with the South Koreans' "going alone" behavior, but at the moment when Russia is aggressive and the free world is uniting against the enemy, there is nothing to think about for a while.
For a country that has been trapped in the division between the North and the South for a long time, but has never actually experienced war, there are many organizations and individuals with extreme ideologies in South Korea, and these guys, who have never known what war is, blindly clamored for a "counter-offensive against North Korea" and advocated taking the opportunity of the world war to eliminate the Kim regime in Pyongyang in one fell swoop, completely ignoring the current overall war pattern and the cruel reality that the United States of America is in an unfavorable situation.
Ignoring the basic facts, daydreaming together behind closed doors, these guys waving flags and shouting on the streets, but in fact, they cannot affect the direction of the country at all, the South Korean government of Kim Yong-sam chose to ignore them.
Not only that, but in the capital Seoul and other places where radicals frequently make trouble, military police have been dispatched to help maintain order, and to disperse any troublemakers who advocate "reunification by force" and "march northward," and many college students and unemployed people have also been arrested.
For a time, the public in South Korea was fluctuating, and most of the small people who were only concerned about their current lives could only worry about the war in the Far East, which was close at hand, while the radicals continued to promote their ideas through guò leaflets, broadcasts, and non-governmental gatherings. The young people who were agitated by the Yin-Yang Banner were very disappointed with the Kim Yong-sam regime, but they could not think of a way for a while, so they could only vent their dissatisfaction in the streets and alleys of South Korean cities, and many of their actions echoed those of Japan across the sea.
Although South Korea and Japan are both "allies" of the United States in the Far East, to be precise, pawn-like loyal lackeys, once they encounter the threat of red Lucia, compared with Japan, which has been peaceful for a long time and whose national spirit has been polished by a rich life, it is not so difficult to understand that the feelings of the South Korean people who live in the shadow of war all day long in the face of the Kim regime in North Korea are obviously more likely to be excessive.
