Chapter 166： Seventh Division

"Your Excellency, the 7th Division has now moved to the Obihiro area. In three hours, we will be able to advance to Kushiro. Now, Kushiro is in a fierce battle. We only need to win Kushiro, the invading Soviet Union. People will have no way out. [Read the latest chapter]" said General Aoki, chief of staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force, after hearing that the director wanted to dispatch the 7th Division back.

In front of his eyes is the head of the Defense Agency, Hideyoshi Watanabe. Today, from the very beginning, everyone has been here, and they haven't even eaten. 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. The Soviets firmly grasped air supremacy, and at sea, the American aircraft carrier formation did not control the itinerary of the Soviets' maritime fleet, and was defeated by the Soviet Union. The two terrifying fighter planes were scared back!

The U.S.-Japan defense agreement made it clear at the beginning. Now, the island nation 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 give up the attack temporarily and wait until the new F-15 fighter wing was brought in from the mainland. By that time, Hokkaido had been planted with red flags!

And what made them intolerable the most was that the main force of the Soviets boldly interspersed to Chitose and seized the most important station in Hokkaido! Now, the Air Self-Defense Force in Hokkaido has no air bases to use!

Obihiro must be taken back! As the supreme commander, directly responsible to the Prime Minister, Hideyoshi Watanabe issued the next order to immediately let the 7th Division retreat and retake the Chitose base!

layman! Pure layman! Hearing his words, General Aoki knew something was wrong and immediately gave new advice.

The head of the Defense Agency is a civilian. It can be said that he was artificially appointed by the prime minister who won the election. He has no experience in commanding battles at all! He did this purely just like the moustache during World War II, commanding indiscriminately!

The 7th Division has reached Obihiro, and their mission is to capture Kushiro. The Soviets were driven into the sea, and now, after a long-distance raid for more than five hours, I was just in a state of exhaustion. If Obihiro had refueled and rested for a while, he would be a new force in Kushiro, but for now, pull back. This is just hilarious!

When I went back, I happened to be in the most exhausted state, to regain Chitose? It's hard to rely on the 7th Division alone! And as long as Kushiro is recaptured, the Soviets will naturally be defeated.

"No." Watanabe Hideyoshi said decisively: "Chitose is next to Sapporo, so there is nothing to lose. The Soviets have captured Chitose, and the next step is definitely to besiege Sapporo, where we have a population of nearly one million and is the administrative center of Hokkaido. And the industrial center, there must be no loss! Let alone cause panic among the people!”

If only the Chitose base. Then forget it, mainly because Chitose is only a few dozen kilometers away from Sapporo. For the armored troops, a charge is over, and Sapporo cannot lose!

The 7th Division must retreat to Chitose, which is their base camp!

When receiving an order from a superior, Lieutenant General Sato Kitaro, the commander of the 7th Division, couldn't help but scold his mother.

idiot! Go back now? Take back Chitose? This is simply an order from a fool! Looking at the 74-type tank behind him, Sato Kitaro was going crazy.

Of course he didn't know that the Soviets drove directly from the road, in order not to be hit from the air by the Soviet fighters. The armored units of the 7th Division came directly off-road from the field, walking in a straight line, and the road was bumpy. It was at its weakest, and the fuel was exhausted.

After refilling the fuel here, I can just pounce on Kushiro, but if I return to Chitose, it will be when I reach Chitose. It just happens to be out of fuel, how can we fight? The fuel in the Chitose base must be cheaper for the Soviets!

What should I do? Night had already fallen, and Lieutenant General Sato Kitaro smashed the order into a ball and threw it to the ground.

"Order, continue to attack Kushiro!" Sato Kitaro shouted.

Resisting orders, this is the tradition of the islanders! As a veteran who participated in World War II, Sato Kitaro doesn't care about the above orders at all, winning is the most important thing!

Attack, keep attacking!

The 7th Division, which was filled with fuel, continued to advance to the east. The three tank regiments, 71, 72, and 73, were at the forefront, with their gun barrels high. In the darkness, only the roar of the engine was roaring. .

Sitting in a command tank, Kitaro Sato was still looking at the latest battle report. The 5th Division had already fought against the Soviet defenders in Kushiro. There were not many Soviet troops, and the number had been figured out. It's the 105th Airborne Division!

The Airborne Division is simply incomparable to the elite Island Land Self-Defense Force! Now the 5th Division has a dirty face. The main reason is that the equipment of the 5th Division is too poor. The Type 61 tank is like a piece of paper in front of the opponent. As long as the Type 74 tank of one's own side is on top, it will definitely be able to kill the opponent!

After World War II, the island country developed the Type 61 tank, but after it was finalized and equipped with troops, this tank fell behind, and it did not have an advantage in the face of the Soviet T-62 tank. As a result, the development of the second generation of tanks began in 1964.

It adopts the L7A3 tank gun imported from the United Kingdom, which can launch synchronously introduced shelling and stabilized armor-piercing projectiles and armor-piercing projectiles. This NATO standard tank gun can tear the armor of the Soviet main battle tank.

At the same time, a high-power 700-horsepower engine is equipped with a new shooting aiming system consisting of a two-way artillery stabilizer, a ruby ​​laser rangefinder, an analog ballistic computer, and a periscope sight This The performance of this kind of tank is very advanced, and it is not behind compared with the western world.

Keep going!

The tracks are rolling against the ground, the hydropneumatic suspension system is buffering the bumps, and the tank is moving fast, getting closer and closer to Kushiro.

Port of Kushiro.

"Quick, comrades, speed up!" On the dock of the port, cargo ships were being unloaded nervously.

Relying on the heroic combat of the air defense and air force, the cargo ships were able to emerge from the waterway in the rear of the country without any risk, and finally arrived at the port of Kushiro when it was dark.

In the rumbling sound, the T-72 tanks of the 14th Guards Tank Division rumbled onto the 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 defended enemy!

This day was very difficult for the 105th Airborne Division. (To be continued.)
