Chapter 151: Surprise Attack on Kushiro

As the largest prefecture in the northern part of the island, Hokkaido's economy is mainly based on steel, oars, dairy products and fisheries. Kushiro, as the largest port city in Hokkaido and the fourth largest city in Hokkaido, is also industrially developed and there is coal production here.

The eastern part of Kushiro is a fishing ground where fishing boats are operating and catching the marine fish gifted by nature.

There is another airport in the southern part of Kushiro. It is a civil airport, Category II, which mainly handles the take-off and landing of various passenger planes, with a large number of domestic flights.

As a coastal city in the east, the warm current of the Pacific Ocean and the cold current of the northwest meet, forming a foggy scene here. The meteorological conditions are just able to meet the take-off and landing of passenger planes. For safety reasons, a row of runway lights are lit on the runway.

"Flight 324, flight 324, please pay attention to your landing attitude, please pay attention to your landing attitude." In the tower on one side of the airport, the dispatcher was giving orders. He was looking at the image on the radar screen. The flight from Tokyo was at a high altitude today, and it was afraid that it would overfly the runway.

"Flight 324 received, continue descending." A familiar reply came from the headset.

While continuing to stare at the screen, the dispatcher began to pick up the cup next to him with his hands. He had just made a cup of coffee and was drinking it now.

Suddenly, a snowflake appeared on the radar screen in front of me.

Baka! The dispatcher put down his coffee and started knocking on the radar screen in front of him. What’s going on? What’s going on?

A hissing sound of electricity was also heard in the headphones. He suddenly remembered his training in the Air Self-Defense Force. Could it be that he was suffering from electromagnetic interference?

"Report, there is a radar problem!" the dispatcher shouted immediately.

At this time, at the outermost part of the tower, the lookout opened his eyes wide. The fog was not too heavy and he could see the planes taking off and landing clearly. The lookout here was responsible for the important visual observation task to ensure that there would be no accidents during the takeoff and landing of passenger planes.

And now, his eyes looked towards the east, where there was a roar of passenger plane that was different from the previous ones.

Flight 324 should have come from the south, and after turning, it would face the runway from the west. But now, what kind of plane is flying from the east?

Soon, he saw clearly the huge fuselage and the four high-powered propeller engines on the upper wing. The tail at the rear was not the common single vertical tail, but a double vertical tail attached to the horizontal tail.

Although we don't see the five-pointed star above, we can clearly determine that the model of this aircraft should be the An-22 heavy transport aircraft!

At this time, the opponent was about to aim at the runway, intending to land on their own base!

The lookout was shocked when he suddenly saw such a huge creature. At this moment, he saw several other flying objects following the huge creature.

The rotating main propeller, the circular cockpit, and the rocket launch pods hanging on the short wings on both sides, that is a Soviet armed helicopter!

Damn it! It was only then that he realized that it was the Soviets who invaded! It wasn't the transport plane that got lost!

At this moment, he saw countless flames on both sides of the helicopter's short wings. The other party launched rockets!

"Hit it!" shouted the pilot of the Mi-24 attack helicopter. The small building in front, which was the only Self-Defense Force barracks at the airport, had been destroyed!

"Hurry, hurry!" The Mi-24 slowly hovered in the air more than ten meters high. In the crew cabin at the back, one soldier grabbed the rope and quickly descended.

Mi-24 is the most important armed helicopter of the Soviet Union. Unlike the professional armed helicopters of the West, this armed helicopter has wide sides and a troop transport cabin that can accommodate eight people. This bloated appearance also earned it the nickname of "doe" in the West.

At this moment, the Mi-24 attack helicopter is not a gentle deer, but a grumpy bull!

The soldiers who fell from the crew cabin quickly ran to various commanding heights, preparing to take control of the airport.

At the same time, the An-22 transport aircraft, the largest Soviet heavy transport aircraft, had its wheels lowered. With a sharp sound of friction with the runway, the transport aircraft quickly slowed down and stopped.

As a military transport aircraft that can take off from simple outdoor airports, it is even easier to take off and land on the smooth runway at Kushiro Airport.

Almost as soon as the car was steady, the rear door opened, and first soldiers armed with live ammunition strode down. They held AK-74 assault rifles with folding stocks in their hands, and ran quickly in all directions on the land of the island country.

"Boom, boom, boom." With the roar of the engine, a BMⅡ airborne combat vehicle drove out from inside, followed by another one. These airborne combat vehicles are short and light in weight, and can be dropped from the air at any time. Now, there are a total of six of them stuffed in the belly of the An-22!

"Quick, occupy the airport completely and let our follow-up troops land!" shouted Molenko, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 345th Regiment of the 105th Airborne Division.

Follow-up troops! This first transport plane, including the six escorting Mi-24 helicopters, brought more than 300 people. Their mission is to control the airport here and allow the subsequent transport planes to land safely!

The tracks of the airborne combat vehicles were very narrow, but they could drive on them as if on flat ground. They moved quickly towards the tower, and almost at the same time, the soldiers who had landed from the helicopter had already run into the building, and all the frightened islanders were controlled.

"Hello, hello, is this Sapporo?" In a corner, an islander was shouting into the phone. The radio was no longer usable, so the only way to communicate was by phone.

Unfortunately, there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone and no response.

"Bang." The door was kicked open. The surprised pupils of this Japanese man were filled with the cold look and the black muzzle of the Soviet soldiers' guns.

Where did all these polar bears come from? This question was the last thought in the minds of the islanders.

No one would tell him that for this operation, the entire 105th Airborne Division had already entered the Far East in advance, and more than one hundred An-22, An-12 and Il-76 transport aircraft would transport all personnel and supplies over in the next few hours. The Soviet military operation has officially begun!

The leading An-22 transport plane took off from the Far East, bypassed Sakhalin Island and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and flew from the east. After approaching Hokkaido, it lowered its altitude and flew at an ultra-low altitude of about 100 meters. For a transport plane, this was a huge risk.

The Mi-24 armed helicopter that came for protection took off from a fishing boat outside and flew at a very low altitude, without attracting any attention from the islanders.

Because the Americans would never have thought that the Soviets would actually start from the eastern part of Hokkaido!
