Chapter 148: Operation to Seize the Island
Although in the declassified materials of later generations, the MiG-31 only entered service in the army in 81, the development of the MiG-31 began long ago. Before Belenko www.biquge.info defected, the Mikoyan Design Bureau planned to build an interceptor with a powerful radar, a high-speed, and long-range interceptor with a powerful radar, which could be fired downwards and could be fired downward.
In 75 years, this interceptor began to fly test, and after equipping the troops, this interceptor is still in the follow-up test flight, until later generations, this interceptor is also a unique magic weapon in Russia.
Compared with the existing fighters, the biggest feature of this interceptor is a powerful combat system! Although the Soviet Union was backward in terms of electronic technology, however, this fighter completely made up for the shortcomings of the past, the nose is equipped with an SBE-16 electronic scanning phased array fire control radar, the search range can reach 200 kilometers, it can simultaneously track 10 targets and attack 4 of them, and also has a medium and long-range navigation system, a radar warning receiver, an APD-578 data link system, infrared search / tracking sensors, etc. The strong performance of the fighter can even be used as a small AWACS aircraft to command four fighters of the same type or other models to fight!
If there is a MiG-31 now, then the American Tomcat fighters, caught off guard, may still suffer!
It's just that I don't know how the progress of this fighter is now, at least it has to be the fuselage, and after the avionics are complete, it can be pulled into actual combat, especially the coordination of the phased array radar and the R-33 missile, if there is a technical problem, it is even more dangerous to rush into battle.
"Report, Marshal Ustinov is here." Just then, an adjutant outside noticed. The people in the conference room were suddenly excited.
Marshal Ustinov! Many of you here have not seen this Minister of Defense for a year, and now the Minister of Defense has actually come to Vladivostok in person!
Andrei was also shocked, Ustinov came? What are you here for? Definitely not here to present the award, and then remember the words of Lieutenant General Bourman just now. Nine times out of ten, this war is really going to be fought!
"Hello marshal!" When Ustinov walked in, the audience erupted in warm applause, and everyone expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the defense minister.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to hear that our Far Eastern Military District has taught the Americans a hard lesson, now. I came from Moscow, bringing a cordial greeting from the General Secretary! Ustinov said.
There was another round of applause, and Andre suddenly found that most of the leaders were the same, and they liked to indulge in this atmosphere.
"However, the Americans will not be willing to lose, and they will definitely have new tricks to continue to hit the Americans hard. In order to create a good situation for our Far East, in order for our Pacific Fleet to get a good port. General Secretary, ****** approved our operation to seize the island! Ustinov said: "We will carry out this operation in ten days!" ”
Operation Island Capture! It's definitely going to fight Hokkaido! Andrei looked at the people around him, the high-ranking officers of the military region behaved very normally, it seemed that they had received the news in advance, and the commander-in-chief at the division level. There is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Andrei felt Major General Manitsky pushing him beside him and said: "No wonder we have stationed the 5th Tank Division and the 73rd Guards Motorized Rifle Division on Sakhalin Island in the past six months, and they were originally for cross-sea operations!" ”
Why are the Americans in a hurry to conduct reconnaissance on Sakhalin? When the Blackbird reconnaissance plane could not be used, it actually used a civil airliner to investigate? It was because the Americans, perceiving a sudden increase in the number of troops stationed on Sakhalin, aroused their strong concern!
Sakhalin was laid out with Soviet long-range ballistic missiles. The Air Force and Air Defense Force have a lot of troops, which is understandable, however, there is no possibility of an invasion of the island from the ground, so it is problematic to place a large number of land forces on it.
Now these people in the venue, the lowest official rank is the division commander, they know more or less something, but they don't know it perfectly, and now, the Minister of Defense has personally come here and issued an exciting task, the battle to seize the island! Find an excellent port of departure for the Pacific Fleet!
This is a problem left over from the Second World War, and it must be solved!
Hearing the words of Major General Manitsky, Andrei was also excited, and he was finally going to fight! From Sakhalin Island to Hokkaido, there is only one Soya Strait, and the minimum width of the strait is only 40 kilometers!
It's a pity that the sea here can't freeze, and if the sea is like the sea in the north, the Sea of Okhotsk in the north, etc., once it freezes in winter, the tanks can even drive directly there!
Therefore, if the Soviets want to occupy Hokkaido, they must also use Sakhalin Island as a springboard, and with the strong combat effectiveness of the Soviet army, a tank unit and a motorized unit will be enough to sweep the whole of Hokkaido.
The key problem is the surprise attack! Before the Americans reacted, the Soviet chariots were already driving on Hokkaido, creating an established fact! When the time comes, how do the Americans want to support the island nation? Bringing in the Army from Hawaii? The U.S. Army has just ended the bitter Vietnam War, and it will certainly not be bogged down again.
The Americans have been guarding against the Soviet Union, and there are no American troops in Hokkaido, so Americans are afraid of rushing to the front line.
Therefore, the way the Americans support the islanders is through air support, and as long as the air strikes of the Americans are blocked, the Americans will be forced to accept the status quo and sit at the negotiating table to negotiate.
The current president of the United States is not the old Bush who fights all day long, but just a wretched Carter.
"This time, our Pacific Fleet will cooperate with the landing operations of the army, and the task of landing in Hokkaido as soon as possible, and our air defense force is also very arduous, and we expect that the Americans will have a round of fierce air strikes, and we must withstand and cover our land forces." Marshal Ustinov said.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Those present were all the commanders of the Air Defense Forces, and when they heard the order of Marshal Ustinov, they immediately replied in unison.
"The specific battle plan will be issued to everyone, and each division will have its own tasks." Marshal Ustinov said: "Within ten days, all combat readiness will be completed. ”
Ten days seems to be a short time, but in fact, preparations for this campaign have been going on since last year, and now, it is just the order given by one battle left.
"Any other questions?" Ustinov's gaze swept over the crowd, and finally rested on a young face.
"Andrey, do you have a problem?"
"Report, I have a new idea." Andrei somehow had an idea pop up in his head, and hearing his words, the people around him suddenly gasped. (To be continued.) )
