Chapter 215 Attacking the Convoy
It is only the 1970s, and the island country has not yet seen the rise of right-wing forces like in later generations, nor does it have a tough attitude. Sandwiched between two superpowers, the island country has the status of an economic power but is a dwarf politically.
The people of the island were also very confused. Some were rich, some were poor, and various ideological trends were constantly spreading. Those who had lived through that era would never forget that there was once a red empress who led an organization and fought for the red belief all her life. Although the way she achieved it might be wrong, she was still a person who made a sensation in this era, and she was still a beautiful woman.
But the reality and history have changed. Under Andre's promotion, the actions of the Chi Army began in a more high-profile, more powerful and more motivated environment.
Takigawa.
This is a city under the jurisdiction of the Sorachi Branch Office in Hokkaido, located in the northern part of the Ishikari Plain, at the confluence of the Ishikari River and the Sorachi River. In the past, it was just an unknown small city with a population of only a few hundred thousand, but now, its importance has begun to stand out.
There is no way. This is a city close to the Rumoi-Kushiro border. With the end of the last war, the areas north of this line became Soviet territory. Fifty kilometers to the north of here is Asahikawa. The Soviets stationed a tank division and a mechanized infantry division in Asahikawa, and the island country also deployed a large number of troops in Takikawa.
The 2nd Division, which had withdrawn from Asahikawa, was also stationed in Asahikawa. At this time, there were more than 20,000 troops stationed in Asahikawa. Moreover, as the front-line troops, the new Type 74 tanks were being quickly replaced.
In addition to tanks, various advanced ground weapons were replaced first. The 2nd Division, which had to go out with bare buttocks at the beginning, soon became fully equipped again. Moreover, due to the losses suffered by this unit, the entire division was gritting its teeth and wanted to take revenge. The fighting spirit was very high, and it seemed to have returned to the era of the powerful island army in the early days of World War II.
However, the need for logistical supplies for such a large troop stationed there is also considerable, and all of these have to be transported to Hakodate by ship and then transported overland.
Hokkaido and Honshu are separated by the Tsugaru Strait, which makes transportation inconvenient. In order to solve the transportation problem, the island country began to build the Seikan Tunnel project across the Tsugaru Strait in 1971 after seven years of investigation. The tunnel connecting Aomori in Honshu and Hakodate in Hokkaido is 53.85 kilometers long, with a seabed section of 23.3 kilometers. This is a grand and arduous project. It was not completed until 1982, and it became a transportation artery connecting Honshu and Hokkaido.
Now, the excavation of this undersea tunnel has been accelerated, and it will take at least 79 years to complete. Therefore, sea transportation is the only option. As for air transportation, since fighting may break out at any time, even civil aviation has been suspended, not to mention transport aircraft.
A convoy of vehicles was running on the smooth road. They were all Isuzu military trucks, and the diesel engines made a unique crisp sound.
In the car, the transport team's sergeant Tanaka was squinting at one side, his body shaking as the car swayed.
It was already a lot of work just to transport supplies for 20,000 people, but now, it was not just food, but also various weapons and equipment! The transport troops were the busiest in the entire army. Just like ants moving house, they kept transporting supplies from Hakodate.
This is the 33rd trip! The only time we can rest is during loading and unloading. Normally, we have to work with the vehicles. Even the strongest body can’t stand it. Therefore, the transport team can only have two drivers. One drives while the other sleeps.
Damn this truck, it doesn't even have a sleeper berth! It's a day cab!
Since the island country has a small land area, drivers almost do not need to sleep in the car. The farthest place can be reached in one day. In addition, the small land area of the island country also leads to limited road resources. The size of the vehicle is also an important factor, which results in the current cars not even having a place to rest!
Tanaka was extremely sleepy and could only lean on the passenger seat and squint.
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge explosion woke Tanaka up suddenly. Then, he felt his body flying forward involuntarily. The seat belt pulled him tightly, and it stopped just when his head was about to make close contact with the windshield.
"Squeak!" His companion stopped the car and shouted to him in a trembling voice: "Tanaka, get out of the car quickly, something's wrong!"
"Da da, da da da." At this moment, an even more terrifying sound was heard. From the sound, you can tell that it is the most widely circulated individual weapon in the world, the AKM assault rifle!
Tanaka had just unbuckled his seat belt when he heard banging sounds. Bullets had swept over and hit the car door. A hole appeared in the body of his companion who had just jumped out, and blood was flowing out. He lay on the car door, motionless.
At this moment, Tanaka only felt a hot stream gushing out from his crotch, and drops of liquid flowed out along his trouser legs.
What’s going on? Are the Soviets attacking?
"Quick, kill them all!" A hundred meters away, a tall Japanese man stood up, holding a squad machine gun in his arms. In the ammunition box below, the bullet chain made a rattling sound, and bullets were fired one after another in the hot stream spurting out from the muzzle.
Cool, it's so cool! The Japanese man was so excited, he felt that now was the time for a real man to come! Those guys from the Self-Defense Forces were so shameful! They were not worthy of being soldiers at all!
"Izumi Suzubo, don't waste bullets!" Just as this guy was firing back and forth, a cold voice came from behind him. A short Japanese man jumped back and forth, holding the AKM rifle in his hand, and killed a convoy driver with a burst of fire.
Izumi Hiroshi stopped, his magazine empty.
It seems that I still lack experience. Maruoka Shu is a well-tested warrior!
A convoy of more than 30 vehicles and more than 60 soldiers in the transport team were all killed, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
"Quick, look at what's in the car!" Maruoka Shu shouted, "We'll blow up the heavy weapons that can't be taken away, take the light weapons away, and if it's food, we'll deliver it to the nearby villages!"
This mission was completed very smoothly and we won the first battle!
