Chapter 161 T-64 Vs. Type 61

R-33 missiles were used in combat for the first time! With the help of phased array radar, four missiles attacked four targets at the same time! In the end, due to various reasons, two missiles lost control, and only the first two missiles flew accurately to the side of the target, shooting down one and damaging another!

Through actual combat, the performance of this heavy interceptor has been tested, and the Soviet Union also has the same long-range interception capability as the US Navy!

The remaining two Tomcat fighters gave up the attack. The early warning aircraft in the rear reported that several enemy planes were flying in the sky. The Soviet reinforcements had arrived!

If these incoming fighter jets all have long-range interception capabilities, the US Navy will suffer great losses.

The battle in the air was in favor of the Soviet Union, while in Hokkaido, the battle on land was driving all the islanders crazy.

After learning that the Soviets had landed at Kawaji Port, the islanders were very angry. While reporting to their superiors, the Northern Army Headquarters of the Island Self-Defense Force in Sapporo had already issued an order.

Obihiro's 5th Division immediately attacks Kushiro and recaptures Kushiro Port!

This is a division with a long history, which can be traced back to 1888. It was then called the Hiroshima Division. After its establishment, it participated in all wars. It was one of the 17 standing divisions of the island country before the Anti-Japanese War. It once set a record of fighting against more than 70 divisions on the Chinese battlefield. It was known as the "Steel Army". 40 years later, it was reorganized into one of the four mechanized divisions of the Japanese Army. The most famous person at that time was the 19th division commander, Lieutenant General Seishirō Itagaki, so the division was also called the "Itagaki Division."

The "glory" of the past has long gone. The island nation surrendered, and according to the law, it can only have a self-defense force to maintain domestic security. The 5th Division was also reduced to a self-defense force with more than 6,000 people. In later generations, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was further reduced to a brigade organization, and the personnel were further reduced.

This unit stationed in Obihiro is the closest to Kushiro. In fact, the defenders who were killed in Kushiro were also from the 5th Division. Now, after receiving the order, this unit immediately maneuvered quickly along the highway, hoping to drive the Soviets into the sea.

Walking in the front was the 5th Tank Corps, equipped with all Type 61 tanks.

The road wheels with torsion bar suspension and rubber tracks can run directly on high-quality roads. The self-defense forces of the island country no longer have the opportunity to go out and commit suicide, and can only defend on the land of the island country. Therefore, the tracks are usually covered with rubber for easy driving.

In the misty water vapor, the tanks were moving quickly. When they drove to the outskirts of Kushiro, it was already dawn. At this time, the order from Tokyo had just arrived.

The tradition of the island people is that their generals do not obey orders from the military abroad and like to act on their own. Some right-wing personnel in the island country's army are very stubborn. Now, it is time for them to show their talents!

They couldn't go out to fight, so they let the Soviets take advantage of them on the island country's territory? The islanders seemed to have forgotten how the Kwantung Army was taught a lesson by the Soviets, and they only thought about how to drive the Soviets away.

This can't be blamed on them. The Fifth Division, which was the first to receive the news, learned that the Soviets had raided here in a transport plane. What can a transport plane transport? At most, it is just a light armored vehicle! Although the performance of the Type 61 tank is outdated, it is still no problem to attack the armored vehicles transported by air. The 90mm tank gun can easily tear through the opponent's thin armor!

"Hurry, speed up!" Sitting in his armored vehicle, the captain of the 5th Tank Group, Lieutenant Colonel Taro Nakamura, kept urging on the radio.

As a force guarding the island nation, they maintain a high level of combat readiness and are also the fastest to be deployed. Now, while the Soviets are still not firmly established, they must be driven back!

"At a distance of 800 meters, deviate to the right by one position, and use armor-piercing discarding sabot shells." And just 800 meters away on the outskirts of Kushiro, on a steel tank, a Soviet Red Army tank commander calmly gave orders to his comrades.

The T-64 tank, the Soviet Union's most powerful weapon, is about to unleash its greatest power!

Inside the turret, with the operation of the gunner, the separately packaged ammunition and warhead were stuffed into the barrel by the automatic loader. The gunner adjusted his aiming according to the commander's instructions and accurately captured the target with the ＴＰＤ-2 gunner's aiming periscope.

The T-64's fire control system is quite advanced, with a combined optical monocular rangefinder, a ruby ​​laser rangefinder, an analog ballistic computer, a gunner's day and night sight, an ear axis tilt sensor, etc. The use of these devices allows the T-64 tank to have a 52% chance of hitting a target of the size of a T-62 at a distance of 1,600 meters.

Now, in order to prevent these Japanese canned goods from escaping, the Soviet tank soldiers put them at 800 meters! At this distance, even without any fire control, the tankers can have an 80% hit rate just by relying on experience!

"Shoot!" Following the commander's order, the gunner pressed the firing button hard. Then, with a loud bang, the entire tank began to shake.

Boom! A ball of fire burst out from the muzzle of the 125mm gun. Following the fire, a 3BM26 fin-stabilized armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile threw away the sabot it had been fired from the barrel and flew towards the target 800 meters away at an initial velocity of 1,600 meters per second.

"Baka! 11 o'clock, brake!" The commander of the Type 61 tank in the front immediately spotted the target's location when he heard the sound of the tank gun. He was careless and didn't notice the Soviet tank next to the roadside building in front! They were too much. They must have knocked down the wall from behind and used it as a cover!

Brake! To deal with a flying shell, a tank must change its state of motion. Acceleration is not an option, so the only way is to brake.

With a sharp squeaking sound of the steel belt braking the steel wheel, the people in the car felt their bodies being tightly pulled by the seat belts, and before they could even breathe, they heard the terrible sound.

The tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile has already flown over! In just half a second, the hard warhead of the armor-piercing projectile tore through the 64 mm thick armor at the front of the Type 61 tank turret, with a penetration depth of several hundred millimeters. Now it is too easy to penetrate this turret that is less than 100 millimeters! This armor-piercing projectile even passed through from the opposite side, as easy as threading a kebab.

For tank soldiers, this is the sound of death! When the armor-piercing bullet comes into contact with the armor, it generates a temperature of thousands of degrees. These metal heat flows into the interior of the vehicle body as the tank armor is penetrated.

"Boom!" With the sound of ammunition exploding, the Type 61 turret was blown off.
