Chapter 313: Crossing the Great Snow Mountain National Park (Addition 6)
The Soviets, the most powerful of which was the Army, were the first to land with the 5th Panzer Division and the 73rd Mechanized Infantry Division, and when the follow-up troops continued to arrive, they were also rushing forward as the vanguard.
Rush, what are you afraid of, what is in front of them is a piece of paper!
Although this was the first actual battle, the Far Eastern Military Region has always regarded the island country as a potential object of conquest, and the army of the Far Eastern Military District has studied the topography of the island country more thoroughly.
Although the road in the Daxueshan National Park looks rugged, from the satellite pictures, you can still find a road that can be crossed, and at the same time, there are also Soviet spies who have crossed here on foot, according to the observation of spies, there are tanks here, which is absolutely no problem.
Now, the tank unit is walking in the low-lying part of the roof of Hokkaido.
Although the altitude is not high, Hokkaido's high latitude makes some of the peaks snow-capped even in summer, and the mountainside and foothills covered with pine forests and wildflowers create a colorful landscape.
Between the peaks, there are many canyons, such as the Ishikari and Tokachi rivers that originate in the Daisetsuzan Mountains, and flow through the canyons. These canyons are the main passages for tank troops.
At this time, with the rumble of the engines, the troops of the 5th Tank Division moved to the front.
Tank soldier Yuri stepped on the accelerator, and the 2-stroke horizontal 5-cylinder opposed-piston water-cooled turbodiesel engine in the tail let out a roar.
The use of 2-stroke diesel engines in tanks is quite rare, and in later generations, only the island nation's own 90 tanks used this method, but if you want to talk about the peculiar way of 5-cylinder opposition, I am afraid that only the Soviet Union is one.
In short, the diesel engine in this way has high power and small size, but the fuel consumption rate is quite large, and the piston ring also loves to fail, which is a common problem of horizontal engines, and the upper and lower wear is different.
For tank soldiers, the throttle is the most common in the end, so that the highest power can be emitted, and the kind of driving people in later generations who are eager to idle and go all over the world are simply sorry for the engine whose power output can be increased several times.
Puffs of black smoke came out, and the tank continued to jolt.
"Attention, it's downhill ahead!" Half of the body of the commander Plushenko was exposed, and he could see clearly that from this side it was going downhill.
With his greeting, Yuri let go of the throttle, and the tank's acceleration disappeared in an instant, and after rushing over the top of the place, the front was indeed downhill.
Now, it's late at night, and they have to take advantage of this evening to cross the Daisetsuzan Mountains and advance to the Chitose base to occupy the most important air base in Hokkaido!
At that time, not only will you be able to obtain a large number of fighters intact, but you will also be able to obtain a complete air base, and when the time comes, your own fighters will be able to transfer to the Chitose base, and you will be able to protect the sky of the entire Hokkaido.
After all, it was a bit far from the direction of Sakhalin, and during the day today, they relied on advanced anti-aircraft missiles to survive for a day, but in the afternoon, the anti-aircraft missiles had already been wiped out, and if they wanted to survive tomorrow, the Chitose base was inevitable.
At the same time, this is also strategically important, since they have already appeared in the hinterland of Hokkaido, and the defenders in the north are under attack, so there is no other choice but to surrender.
Although the Soviet Union's request was to leave a line on the Moe Kushiro line, the Americans did not agree, so Hokkaido could only be obtained by the Soviet army's own hands!
Lay down the Chitose base and lay down Sapporo, an important big city!
Although they are alone, they are not afraid, because the Ground Self-Defense Force of the island nation does not exist here at all.
Hokkaido is too close to Sakhalin, and in order to counter the Soviet Union in the north, the islanders also deployed a large number of ground troops in Hokkaido, and there are four integrated divisions and brigades, the 2nd Division, the 5th Brigade, the 7th Division, and the 11th Brigade, with a total number of about 21,160 people.
Of these, only the 7th Division was deployed near Chitose, but when the Soviet troops landed on the Shiretoko Peninsula during the day, the 7th Division was sent up, and it should have reached the Kushiro area by now, ready to deal with the Soviet forces moving south from Shiozu.
There are no troops here, and it's definitely a good opportunity for a sneak attack!
After the front goes downhill, it suddenly opens up, and it just belongs to the end of this canyon, and it is still a few hundred meters away from the canyon of the next section, and after the canyon in front, this most difficult road will pass, and you can go straight to the Chitose base, and when it is dawn, you will get there properly!
When the time comes, the Americans will definitely be surprised, right? But they can't do anything.
The T-64 tank rumbled forward, and at this moment, Plushenko suddenly heard a roar in the sky, and in the roar of the tank, the whistle of the characteristic turbine engine, could not be mistaken.
What's going on? How could there be a plane so late at night? Aren't they afraid of hitting the mountain?
At this time, a full moon hangs in the sky, sprinkling the quiet moonlight, in this case, it is most suitable for tank troops to march at night, without turning on the infrared headlights, relying on the naked eye to start.
At the same time, it is also the most suitable for hunting gunships!
In the sky, as the sound kept getting closer, Plushenko finally saw a vague shadow, and suddenly, he exclaimed: "Gunship, fast, accelerate, accelerate!" ”
At the same time, Plushenko pushed himself ahead of 12,. The 7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun, which is a common auxiliary weapon of the T-64, is the latest HCBT-type 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun, but everyone knows that it is not enough to use this kind of thing against aircraft in the sky.
But now there is no choice.
Originally, it was downhill now, Yuri lost the throttle, and wanted to rely on the reaction force of the engine to slow down the tank, if the tank went downhill too fast, it would overturn, but now, seeing that the gunship is coming, at this time, they have to run away!
Yuri slammed on the throttle, and the T-64 tank roared again.
It was supposed to be downhill, and now he stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the tank suddenly increased, but he was not worried, for the Soviet tankmen, brutal maneuvering was a must, and in previous operations, he did nothing more exciting than this.
However, they only cared about meeting the enemy, forgetting that behind them, one tank after another was still following!
That helicopter may be searching aimlessly, but they are constantly moving like this, and they must be exposed!
