Chapter 163: Raid on Chitose
Chitose Base, the largest military base in Hokkaido, is the main base of the Air Self-Defense Force in the north. It is home to the 2nd Air Wing, including the 201st Squadron and the 203rd Squadron. When the F-15 fighter jets were not equipped with the island nation's Air Self-Defense Force, it was equipped with all F-4 fighter jets, totaling fifty.
Fighter planes took off into the sky, and two hundred kilometers away was the main battlefield!
At the same time, in order to prevent a sneak attack by the Soviets, the air defense forces here are also on high alert. The 9th and 10th anti-aircraft teams affiliated with the 3rd anti-aircraft group, equipped with anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles, are guarding the sky of the Chitose base. If the Soviet bombers dare to come, they will never return!
At the same time, the 1st Mobile Guard Team is also guarding the airport, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
However, it seems that these are all unnecessary concerns. The Soviets do not seem willing to expand the war. What the Soviets demand is the territory north of the Kushiro-Rumoi line, and their fighter planes are also avoiding entering the southern line.
In addition to the Air Self-Defense Force, the 7th Division of the Ground Self-Defense Force is also stationed in Chitose City. As the main division of Hokkaido, it is the only armored division in the island nation's army.
The 7th Division was established in 1908 and was one of the 17 standing divisions of the island nation before World War II. According to the rules of the island nation, it is also called the Asahikawa Division and was established relatively late. It belongs to the Class A division and has participated in the rotation of the Kwantung Army. During this period, it was transferred to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou. In 1939, the Sumi Detachment, which was mainly formed by the 26th Regiment of the 13th Brigade, participated in the Battle of Nomonhan and was severely damaged by the Soviet Army. Later, the Ikki Detachment, which was completely wiped out in the Battle of Guadalcanal, was mainly formed by the 28th Regiment of the division. More than 140 people survived out of more than 2,500 people.
This division remained in Hokkaido until its defeat.
Compared with other divisions that made great achievements in World War II, this division did not have many honors, but had many painful experiences. Once it encountered the Soviet army, and once it encountered the American army. Both times it was beaten to a pulp.
After World War II, the main threat to the island nation became the Soviet Union in the north, and the 7th Division was reorganized to become the largest reserve force to fight against the Soviet Union. Since the main force had disappeared in World War II, the main force of this division was formed in 1962 with the 7th Mixed Brigade of Hokkaido as the backbone. It includes 3 tank regiments, an anti-aircraft artillery regiment, an artillery regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment.
The 71st, 72nd and 73rd tank regiments are naturally the main force. They are equipped with the island country's latest Type 74 tanks, whose combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the old Type 61 tanks.
After receiving the order from Tokyo, in addition to the full deployment of Obihiro's 5th Division, Chitose's 7th Division also prepared for battle within two hours and moved quickly towards Kushiro.
Especially according to intelligence reports, the Soviet armored forces have landed in Kushiro via the sea! If it was just by air transport, the 5th Division would be enough to deal with it, but the armored forces coming from the sea must be the elite of the Soviet Union!
A force like that cannot be dealt with by the ragtag troops of the 5th Division. It must be the strongest 7th Division!
As a result, the 7th Division's powerful tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments all advanced along the highway towards Kushiro. The only ones left in the Chitose base were the 1st Special Technology Regiment of the Kitachitose Garrison, the 1st Anti-aircraft Special Technology Regiment of the Higashichitose Garrison, the Northern Area Mixed Regiment, and the Northern Area Training Company, all of which were ragtag among ragtag.
Unconsciously, the Chitose base in the rear had become empty.
The time has entered the afternoon, around four o'clock, and it will soon be dark.
Higashi Chitose Station.
Two soldiers were standing at the gate. The main force had set off and the barracks was empty. The positions that were originally guarded by soldiers from the 7th Division were now replaced by soldiers from the Northern Front Education Company.
"What bad luck! I was planning to go to the city today." The soldier holding the assault rifle stood at the sentry post and said to the sentry opposite: "Hey, Jiro, how far have you progressed with Chie?"
The person opposite pushed up his glasses and said, "Ji Feng, it's nothing, I just went to see a movie."
"Stupid!" Ji Feng said, "If you like her, take her to a hotel. The hotels near their school are very cheap. Are you still a virgin? Or you can bring her to the army and make everyone happy. It's been a long time since I tasted a high school girl."
As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and swirled it around his lips, as if savoring something.
"Yoshimine, don't insult Chie!" Hearing the guy on the opposite side speaking frivolously, Jiro knew what it meant to bring back the troops, and he was immediately dissatisfied.
"Jiro, don't pretend to be so decent!" Yoshimine said, "The photos of Chie under your bed have been mixed up like that. Don't deny the fact that you masturbate to Chie's photos at night!"
"Bullshit!" Jiro's face flushed red, he raised his gun and said to Yoshimine in front of him: "I was wondering why the photo got wet, it must be you!"
"Idiot, there are live bullets in the gun today, don't point it at me!"
In the past, the sentry’s gun was always empty, but today it’s different, it’s loaded with live bullets!
"Bang." At this moment, a gunshot was heard. Jiro looked at Yoshimine in front of him, who was looking at him in surprise. There was a hole in his chest and blood was gushing out.
I didn't pull the trigger myself? The safety wasn't even on.
"Bang." At this moment, another gunshot was heard. With the gunshot, Jiro felt his body shake and fell backwards. He lay on the ground, coughing up blood. His vision had begun to blur, but he could still see the armed men in field camouflage uniforms and the infantry fighting vehicles that were rumbling towards him.
The Soviets? Why are they here?
No one answered him. His blood had already flooded his lungs. His breathing became increasingly rapid, but his face turned ashen. Finally, his breathing stopped.
"Quick, occupy the entire base, and kill anyone who resists immediately!" the forward battalion commander shouted.
Accompanied by BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, the 73rd Infantry Division attacked the empty Higashi Chitose base, and the military operation against the entire Chitose base was officially launched!
Chitose Air Self-Defense Force Base.
"Boom, boom, boom." A roar came from the distance.
Hearing the sound, several island soldiers guarding an anti-aircraft artillery position raised their heads and took a lazily look. This kind of sound was too common in the aviation base.
However, when they looked over, they were stunned. A helicopter that did not belong to the island nation's Self-Defense Force appeared in their field of vision. The wide fuselage and the heavy ammunition mounted under the short wings on both sides...
It's a Hind helicopter, it's the Soviets!
