Polonaysk.

It is a bay estuary port, which is located at the mouth of the Pirone River on the coast of central Sakhalin, on the northwest side of Terpeniye Bay, and is the commercial port of central Sakhalin.

Compared to Korsakov, the port is not large, for example, its berths are only 610 meters long, and the water depth is not enough that some ships need to be moored outside the port.

Throughout the island, as we move northward, the climate begins to get colder, and now, on the nearby hills, you can still see a snow-covered cover, some of which melts and turns into water, which flows into the Pirone River, and from Polonesk into the Terpenye Bay.

The sea breeze was blowing, and on the west side of the harbor was a wooded area that was not too lush.

The woods here are not very dense in the first place, and in recent months, trees have been cut down and built into wooden houses, so it has become even more sparse.

At this time, in this forest, steel chariots are standing quietly.

This is the main tank of the Soviets, the T-64.

When it comes to Soviet tanks, the most impressive thing for the general public is the T-72, after all, in later history, this tank appeared in many conflicts, although most of them were tragic characters, it was also a very famous tank.

In contrast, the T-64 is unknown, and in its long history it has never been exported and has always been used by the USSR itself.

This main battle tank developed under the leadership of Chief Designer Morozov has a lot of originality, such as its 125 mm large-caliber tank gun, and the automatic loader for this purpose, such as its liquid-gas suspension, such as its composite armor, all of which are secret.

It can be said that the sensational effect of the birth of this tank at that time was comparable to that of the legendary T-34 tank.

The Soviet Union regarded this tank as a treasure of the country, and only equipped it with elite troops, and at the same time the news of this tank was tightly sealed. It wasn't until March '70 that Western intelligence officers discovered the mysterious tank from photographs of military exercises in Belarus at the time, but thought it was an early model of the T-72, and it wasn't until '78, after Soviet officer Viktor Suvorov defected to Britain, that NATO got an overview of the T-64.

This tank has a low profile, in the usual Soviet style, and at this time, next to the tank, the tankmen are seriously undergoing routine maintenance.

The cold wind was still blowing, and in March, it was definitely a cold time for Sakhalin, but at this time, the tankmen were wearing only single clothes, and several people shouted trumpets and pulled a crowbar several meters long, the end of which was attached to the screw of a load-bearing wheel.

Being a tank soldier is definitely manual work, and all kinds of tank maintenance are extremely physically exhausting, and some are even dangerous.

However, they do not feel bitter.

The weight wheels were tightened, and several people sat down.

"Come on, smoke." Yuri, a tank soldier, pulled out a box of Moscow cigarettes and said to his two companions.

The T-64 tank was reduced by one crew due to the use of an automatic loader, and now there were only three of them, Yuri was the driver, and he handed it to the commander and the gun commander.

The two men took the cigarettes, lit them, and smoked them.

"We've been transferred here, it's been a few months, why hasn't the superior ordered it down?" Yuri lit a cigarette, took a puff, spat out a smoke ring, and said to the commander.

Commander Plushenko also sighed: "Yes, everyone is waiting, it's been a few months, let's stay here, just waiting for the order to attack, but, I think it's fast, there was a plane crash recently, and the boss can use this incident to make a fuss." ”

The 5th Tank Division, the ace unit of the Far Eastern Military District, when they were transferred to Sakhalin, almost everyone knew what was going to happen.

Attack Hokkaido! There could be no other mission than this goal, and even their company-level commanders began to study the map of Hokkaido every day.

However, the order was not given for a long time.

For them, as soldiers, it is their duty to carry out orders, and besides, the Western world is the devil, and they have the right and obligation to destroy the Western world and save the proletariat there.

As he spoke, there was a roar of engines in the distance, and the sound of the plane's turbines was heard.

"It seems that the units of the Air Force and Air Defense Force are also increasing their training intensity, and there have been more and more aircraft here recently." Yuri said, looking up in the direction where the roar had come.

Nothing?

Impossible, there is a voice, could it be that the pilot is flying at an ultra-low altitude?

"It's Polonesk ahead," at this time, on the Tomcat fighter, Nathan said to Gus in the rear cabin: "Let's come all the way and find nothing, if we fly to the north and there is no result, then we have to fly back and go around those air bases." ”

Gus was behind, feeling his heart beating hard, and his nerves crumbled as he flew over.

The terrain is undulating, and Nathan pilots his own plane, flying close to the mountains, it is simply too thrilling.

Especially just now, a hillside suddenly appeared, blocking the way.

The train passed through the tunnel, but the fighter couldn't, and just as he spotted it, Nathan turned on the afterburner and took the lever into his arms.

You can almost see the mountain peak coming on, and when it was about to hit the mountain, the Tomcat fighter finally climbed up, flew up against the hillside, rushed to the top of the mountain, and then swooped down again.

Even if it was a fraction of a second slower, the tomcat crashed into the mountain.

At that time, Gus felt a surge of blood rush into his brain, which was like playing with his life, but it seemed to be more exciting.

Nathan loved the feeling, flying at high speed close to the ground, his adrenaline was pumping fast, his hands and feet were more agile, and at the same time, he was completely confident in the engine behind him, no matter how brutal the operation, he would never pick a pick!

At the same time, Nathan was also watching his own route, and in front of him, he had reached the most important place, the second largest port on the island, and at the same time, it was also a relatively hidden port.

Ahead, there's a forest.

The Tomcat fighter spread its wings and flew over the woods, and at the same time, under the belly of the plane, all kinds of reconnaissance equipment were working in a tense and orderly manner.

The CAIKS-87B frame camera at the head was constantly taking pictures of the ground, and suddenly, a large number of tanks, hidden in the woods, were exposed to its field of vision and appeared on its negatives.

At the same time, the Tomcat fighter also appeared in front of the tankmen on the ground, because flying at ultra-low altitudes, it became very massive.
