Chapter 260 Rocket Launch
The Americans were very smart. The Vietnam War that had just ended made them a little afraid of large-scale ground wars. So when the Soviet Union invaded Hokkaido, the Americans chose to give in and let the Soviet Union get the northern part of Hokkaido. At the same time, they knew that this was a war between the Japanese, so they let the Japanese troops stand on the front line. Half of the Japanese army was assembled in Hokkaido.
The Americans gave great support to the island nation, including their own M1 tanks, which could be handed over to the island nation to operate. However, the U.S. Army reinforcements were temporarily stationed at Yokota Air Base and did not move north to Hokkaido.
The Americans did not want to have a direct conflict with the Soviets, and they did not want to get stuck in the quagmire again. However, in order to completely control the island nation's self-defense forces, the Americans placed a certain number of commanders in each unit.
For example, the United States set up a forward command post in Shirakami, which is the front line facing Kushiro and is also the first location to be hit in the event of a war.
Right in the city of Shirakawa, on what was once the most prosperous section of the road, there is a three-story Western-style building, where all the people living are Americans. In addition to the American commanders, there are also their families, and some are women they just met in Hokkaido.
Revenge! How can I avenge Ohashi Mieko? In addition to flying a plane and defecting, the most important thing is to kill the Americans!
As Maruoka Osamu spoke, he gently pulled the joystick, and the AH-1 helicopter began to turn. In front of him was a large urban area. Before coming to perform this mission, Maruoka Osamu had carefully studied the aerial map and was very familiar with the area.
"024, 024, wrong heading, wrong heading." The ground guide couldn't help but shout on the radio when he found that the armed helicopter was actually flying towards the urban area in the east, instead of a Chi military base in the western snow-capped mountains as planned.
Ohashi Rokuro quietly turned off the radio, and his ears became quiet.
"Prepare to launch the rocket." Maruoka Osamu shouted.
The AH-1 attack helicopter is a two-person system, with the front person responsible for operating various weapons and the back person responsible for driving. Maruoka Osamu had only flown a helicopter before, so he could act as a pilot, while the operation of various weapons would be carried out by the professionally trained Ohashi Rokuro.
Hearing Maruoka Osamu's words, Ohashi Rokuro skillfully turned on the various switches and said to Maruoka Osamu behind him: "Keep steady and prepare to launch the rocket!"
The AH-1 helicopter hovered in the air. In front of it was the small building painted white. On top of it, an American flag was flying.
Yankees, prepare yourself for revenge!
At this time, neither of them knew that several important people had just arrived in this small building.
The commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States Army, Major General Field-Taylor, General Shinzo Ozawa of the island country's Self-Defense Forces, and the chief of the island country's Defense Agency, Hideyoshi Watanabe, were standing on the balcony of this small building at this time, holding binoculars and looking to the north.
Kushiro, once an important port in Hokkaido, now flies the flag of the sickle and hammer! How much humiliation has the island nation's Self-Defense Force endured in this year!
Recovering lost territory has always been the goal of the island nation's Self-Defense Forces. Just last year, when reinforcements from the United States arrived, the Defense Agency began its operational plan.
Unfortunately, a piece of news that surprised countless people came at that time. The Soviet Army’s tanks had powerful firepower and were simply not something their own tanks could contend with!
With a penetration of one meter, how can the armored forces of the island nation survive? No matter what tank it is, it will die if it goes up! Even the American M1 tank is no exception!
Faced with such pressure, the combat plan was terminated, and the Soviet MiG-25 discovered at sea was able to take off and land from the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, which also made the US Navy calm down.
Just like that, in the face of humiliation, the islanders chose to endure it until not long ago, when the United States finally received accurate information through a spy that the MiG-25 would never be able to be deployed on board!
The runway length required for the MiG-25 to take off is simply impossible for the Kiev class to provide, and the take-off deck is not available! Moreover, after discovering that the Kiev class has recently changed, the take-off deck is gone! And the MiG-25 has not seen when the wings can be folded. This further strengthened their judgment that the Soviets were fooling the United States at that time!
Since the MiG-25 being put on board is a scam, then the depleted uranium armor-piercing shells with a penetration depth of more than one meter are definitely a scam! In this case, what are we afraid of!
The Chi Army in the country is constantly active, and the situation inside the island country is becoming more and more chaotic. Although the Chi Army is constantly being encircled and suppressed, this organization seems to be an immortal monster. No matter how hard you fight, it can't be defeated, and it is getting stronger and stronger! This further strengthened the determination of the island government: it is because of the support of the Soviets in the north that the Chi Army has developed into the monster it is today. If you want to solve the problem of the Chi Army, you must solve the problem of the Soviets in the north!
The most important place to fight the Soviets in the north is Kushiro! Because Kushiro is the location of the Soviet Hokkaido headquarters! That guy named Andrei has recently returned to Kushiro! With him around, the islanders will definitely have a harder time, so there is no room for hesitation!
There are many former militarists among the islanders, and there are also people who are not afraid of death, like Watanabe Hideyoshi, who is on the front line now, and even though he is a civil servant, he exudes a rage for revenge.
He held up the telescope and looked at Kushiro across the street. There was the shame of the island government, and this shame must be washed away!
Major General Taylor was simply bored, and he was not required to come with them, but when the head of the island's defense department was coming to Baikang, he volunteered to come with them. He had been stationed here for more than half a year, and he had not really been on the front line. Now, he went up to take a look at the Soviets on the opposite side, so that he could be prepared. Moreover, commanding the islanders' counterattack would require an experienced commander like him.
So he followed, not knowing that he was walking on the road to death.
Not far away, the roar of a helicopter was heard. Major General Taylor put down his binoculars and looked at the helicopter. Familiar lines and smooth outlines, this armed helicopter that was hastily put into service during the Vietnam War did play a big role in the war, and now it has become an important equipment of the US Army.
But there is a plaster flag painted on the side of this helicopter, which belongs to the island nation’s Self-Defense Force.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that white smoke was coming out of the short wing rack on the side of the armed helicopter opposite! In the thick smoke, rockets with flames were flying over without any warning!
