Chapter 278 Soviet Intentions

"The Soviets have gone too far. They are trying to expand the scale of the war!" In Yokota, the Director-General of the Island Defense Agency, Shigeo Kuma, who hurried here, said to his American masters here.

It is true that the Japanese were the first to initiate the war, but the Soviets were too cruel! This was a fair contest, a tank battle on the plains, and the Japanese could tolerate even if their tanks were destroyed.

But what about now? The Soviets actually used a large number of multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles! The Soviets are playing with fire!

Looking at the satellite picture in front of him, Lieutenant General Paul's expression was extremely terrifying.

Just this morning, Lieutenant General Paul was woken up. What was originally a very promising military operation was messed up again by the Japanese, and in the process, the reputation of American tanks was also ruined.

The M1 tank, the latest main battle tank of the United States, has frontal armor that will never be penetrated! However, the Japanese foolishly charged towards a bunch of fake targets, and the Soviets destroyed them from the side!

Without seeing the actual scene, Lieutenant General Paul only analyzed the satellite images and found that the destroyed tanks were hit from the side, and it was obvious that they were hit on the flank.

If everything went well, we could have fought the Battle of Kushiro today! But what about now? The Soviets have already crossed the Baikang, crossed the heavily guarded defense line of the island nation, and are rushing through the southern part of Hokkaido!

If the situation last time continues, this armored unit will be able to reach Chitose Base in two days! If they occupy it, almost the entire Hokkaido will be lost!

When reporting to the White House, Lieutenant General Paul had guaranteed that the island nation's army would be able to drive the Soviets into the sea without the participation of the US military! But what about now? The situation seems to be exactly the opposite!

Seeing that his American master remained silent, Shigeo Kuma continued, "Now, the Soviets are attacking fiercely. Our troops left behind in Hokkaido may not be able to stop the Soviet attack. Please fulfill our previous defense contract and send troops to Hokkaido immediately."

Facts have proven that the Self-Defense Forces are not strong enough to fight. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, the Self-Defense Forces are no longer the force that once swept across Asia. If the US military does not directly participate in the war, the entire Hokkaido will quickly fall!

The battle last night completely destroyed the self-confidence of the islanders. They finally realized the gap between themselves and the Soviets! The Soviets in the north are born to be a fighting nation! The will to fight runs in their blood. When they charge, they are unstoppable and unstoppable!

Besides, the island countries were used as bridgeheads by the United States because they were obedient to the United States. If there were no Americans, perhaps the island countries would have a more harmonious relationship with the Soviet Union, and there would not be so many wars now. If the Americans do not step forward at this time, they will lose their position in the entire NATO!

To be a boss, you must have the courage to be a boss!

"General, give the order! Our First Cavalry Division requests to land in Hokkaido to fight!" Seeing that Lieutenant General Paul did not speak, the new Major General Kobe of the First Cavalry Division said.

The First Cavalry Division has a very high fighting spirit. Despite the scandal, they were still sent by the United States to deal with the Soviet Union. Moreover, a few days ago, their division commander, Major General Field, was killed in Hokkaido. Although it was the Chi Army personnel who did it, it was inseparable from the Soviets. The First Cavalry Division must avenge their division commander!

The Soviets flattened the entire Hokkaido, and across the Tsugaru Strait, they could threaten Honshu at any time! What was the Soviets' strategic goal? Was it just to occupy Hokkaido, or to take over the entire island nation? As the commander of the US military in Japan, Lieutenant General Paul had to analyze the problem from a higher perspective.

Now, the Soviets are fighting fiercely, even using short-range ballistic missiles, and it is obvious that they want to win the war quickly. In fact, when the Soviets got Kushiro, their containment in the Far East was declared bankrupt. The Soviets got access to the Pacific Ocean, but the Soviets' appetite was obviously not satisfied.

The more we give in, the more arrogant the Soviets become! If we allow our troops to enter Hokkaido and fight the Soviets, will we make them compromise?

Lieutenant General Paul kept thinking about all this in his mind.

"Report, the Pentagon has sent the latest analysis." A staff officer hurried in with the intelligence he had just received.

The battle here has also attracted great attention in the United States. The Pentagon has been working all night to analyze the battle reports from the front line.

At the same time, various intelligence in recent days has been constantly gathering. Just half an hour ago, an intelligence officer got this satellite image taken three days ago and immediately became alert.

Sakhalin! In the port east of Sakhalin, a large number of merchant ships are being loaded, and you can see Soviet tanks on them!

What are the Soviets going to do?

Last time, the Soviets used Sakhalin Island as a springboard, passed through the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and suddenly appeared outside Kushiro Port and landed here.

After that, the Soviets occupied Rumoi and no longer needed Sakhalin Island. After all, Rumoi was opposite the Soviet Far East Military District, so they could just go through the Sea of ​​Japan. The Soviets took a long detour to transport troops from Sakhalin Island and took the most dangerous ice-filled Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Obviously, they had a deeper purpose!

The Soviets' last raid gave them a taste of success, and this time, it seems that the Soviets are going to repeat the same trick! This time, they will definitely go from the east, bypass the Kuril Islands, and reach the island nation of Honshu!

This is a roundabout route, but it can avoid being discovered by the island country. The battle in Hokkaido is fierce now, and a large number of local troops will be transferred to Hokkaido! The mainland will be empty. If the Soviets suddenly appear outside Tokyo Bay at this time, they can even land in Tokyo easily!

By that time, the island nation would be doomed.

Would the Soviets do this? Of course they would! Wasn't it this kind of surprise attack that created miracles when the Soviets attacked Hokkaido? Otherwise, the Soviets would not be able to land at all!

The Soviets had such a big appetite that they actually wanted the entire island nation! When the Soviets' intentions were discovered, the US President took a deep breath. Fortunately, the US troops were not transferred to Hokkaido!

"Our troops cannot move." Holding this information, Lieutenant General Paul felt his hands shaking involuntarily because of anger and surprise!

"Why?" asked Shigeo Kuma.

"Take a look for yourself." Lieutenant General Paul threw the information to him.
