How will the current situation develop? This is what Americans scratch their heads the most. Everyone is judging the Soviet Union's movements. For the Soviet Union, it is also a very difficult situation.
"We can't blame our Far East Military Region at all, but the blind command above." In the Military Region Command, General Constantine Bullman looked angry: "Originally, our preparations were not in place because of the American investigations. We are forced to advance the action, and after the advancement, we have to modify our action plan and let us go to Kushiro to land. That is simply whimsical!"
Constantine's anger was for a reason. The Homeland Air Defense and Air Force had not been properly prepared. There was no tacit agreement between air power and sea power. In particular, they had to use the cover of heavy fog. This heavy fog did not provide one with a chance at all, on the contrary, it caused a heavy loss for oneself!
The loss of transport aircraft and the loss of ships landing at sea could have been avoided in the first place, if there were no random commands from above.
Constantine was angry.
Next to him, General Ivan Trechyanko, the commander of the Far Eastern Military Region, frowned.
Today’s battle was a complete failure, and the defeat was a bit miserable. My colleagues here are cursing, but they are actually trying to shirk their responsibilities. The Far East Military Region has tried their best. This battle is fought like this. You can’t blame yourself, blame the command. People are too mentally retarded.
But who is in charge of this operation and who gives the revised plan? That was Marshal Ustinov, so to speak, he was slapping Ustinov in the face.
I don’t know if I can stay in this position for a few more days. Maybe tomorrow, the angry Ustinov will dismiss him.
However, before leaving, I still have to sum up the lesson this time. The biggest problem is that this is simply a trap!
If the Americans didn’t know, how could they deploy so many individual portable missiles at Kushiro Airport in advance to attack those transport planes that landed on their own
You know, it's a civilian airport, how can there be so many military personnel there? Still carrying stinger missiles
The plan was leaked, it must be so!
Thinking of this, he has found the explanation and reported to Moscow that the failure of the operation of the own military region was because the operation was leaked ahead of time. Please cooperate with the KGB to find out the person who leaked the secret!
As for what to do next, leave it to Moscow to worry about it, as long as it is earnestly implementing the order.
General Ivan Trechyanko also made a contingency plan.
Moscow.
Like the Far East Military Region, in the command hall of the Ministry of Defense building, a large-scale sand table model was put out at this time.
The tragic battle was over, and the results reported in the front were unacceptable to Ustinov.
The remaining ships and warships swayed in the waters of Kunashir Island and Zehuo Island, waiting for new orders, while the transport planes that were lucky enough to return landed at the airport of the Far Eastern Military Region.
"Today, we sacrificed more than a thousand soldiers, we lost more than a dozen planes, and more than 200 people became prisoners." Ustinov said: "Far Eastern Military Region, it's embarrassing to our Soviets!"
Of course Ustinov was very angry. He could hardly believe that a confident landing operation and a battle to recover Hokkaido would actually turn out to be the current result.
The Americans still control Hokkaido, but they have suffered heavy losses.
"Marshal, the Far East Military Region reported that the reason for this failure was that our plan was leaked. Hokkaido has already done a tight defense, which is a fire pit, waiting for us to jump in."
"Tell Trechyanko and Konstantin two idiots, don't make excuses for their failure!" Ustinov said: "The whole operation is strictly confidential. No one knows exactly until the troops leave. Where they landed, they told me who leaked the news? Are we the ones present?"
The plan is secret, and the modification plan is even temporary. When it comes to leaks, it can only be leaked by the people present. How is this possible
"Marshal, what we need most is what to do next." Just then, an adjutant next to him asked.
Now, it is still too early to hold accountable, and what to do next is important.
The Soviets suffered a great loss. If they let it go, will the Soviets still have a lot of shame all over the world? However, fighting in Hokkaido was originally a task for surprise attacks to achieve miraculous effects. Now that the Americans have prepared them, if they fight again, it will become a hard fight. Such a fight may really become a world war.
The Soviet Union is not yet ready to fight a world war. Although Ustinov can't wait to push the Eastern European troops to the coast of France immediately, the Soviet Union is not ready.
Whether to fight or not to fight is a dilemma.
Ustinov gritted his teeth and looked at Hokkaido: "Those territories were originally ours. Now, if you win, you must fight, and if you don’t, you must fight!"
Just hit the Far East, and hit Hokkaido!
"Marshal, the American ambassador has come to protest to us." At this moment, a voice came from outside.
"Let him go to Gromyko," Ustinov said.
Gromyko was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union. Gromyko was in charge of all such protests. Ustinov didn't want to participate in fighting and wiping his ass.
"He had already gone to see Comrade Gromyko before he came to our Ministry of National Defense."
Damn, Ustinov frowned. Gromyko must have pushed him over and went directly to the Ministry of Defense to protest!
"Let him in." Ustinov pushed his glasses. He was also interested now. Now that his side is at a disadvantage, he wants to protest. That is also his own protest. What is the American's turn to protest
"Minister Ustinov, on behalf of the U.S. government, I protested to you that you deliberately undermined the peace in the Far East and suddenly dispatched a large number of planes and ships in an attempt to land in Hokkaido." Thomas, the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, said to Ust. Nov said.
"Mr. Thomas, I solemnly inform you about the agreement on the division of Hokkaido that we discussed with you at the end of World War II." Ustinov said to the American ambassador before him: "At that time, our The great leader Comrade Stalin put forward a new request for the northern half of Hokkaido, north of the line of Kushiro and Rumoi. This is also a revenge for the island nation’s sending troops to Siberia. Now, we need to occupy the area north of the line of Kushiro and Rumoi. It is an additional content of the original Yalta agreement."
We are not undermining the peace, but because the United States was too cunning. The Soviets are determined to win Hokkaido.
"So, if you want peace in the Far East, we ask for a garrison in the northern part of Hokkaido." (End of this chapter)
