In military common sense, the best way to land on the enemy’s coastline is the beach. In this way, when the transport ship lands on the beach, open the hatch and the weapons and equipment inside can be activated directly.
Except for the beach, that is the port. It is of course easier to take the other side's port directly.
At the seaside, besides beaches and ports, there is also a common terrain, namely cliffs.
The Shiretoko Peninsula is such a terrain. It is located in the northeastern part of Hokkaido Island, on the edge of the Sea of Okhotsk, and is just across the strait from Kunigou Island.
This is the sea area with the lowest latitude and sea ice phenomenon in the world. For a long time, active marine sports and volcanic activities have created a peculiar natural ecological landscape here.
For example, the west coast of the peninsula is a continuous stretch of steep cliffs, creating a peculiar waterfall landscape where the river flows straight into the sea from a high place. Birds such as seagulls, rock swallows, white eagles, and great eagles, as well as animals such as sea lions and seals, inhabit here. Because of the beautiful natural scenery here, the island nation established Shiretoko National Park here.
At the same time, Shiretoko National Park aims to maintain the originality. Only the coastline at the base of the peninsula is paved. The hiking trails and the tip of the peninsula are almost inaccessible. You can only use the sightseeing boats on the sea to get a glimpse of the natural scenery of the Shiretoko Peninsula.
There are also people who want to visit here, but many times they have to call for rescue because they can't find the road.
The entire peninsula extends outwards and it is impassable here, so no one will defend it at all.
In normal perception, no one would choose to attack from here. The natural conditions here limit the landing of troops.
Just kidding, even if it's a landing ship, you can't get the bow of the ship to the cliff because it's not high enough. Even if it's high enough, it's high enough. At most, the soldiers dared to jump off. Can the tank drive over
If the tank cannot be driven, it lacks heavy weapons. How can this battle be fought
No one will choose to land from the Shiretoko Peninsula, and there will not be any coastal defense forces deployed here. It has always been a tourist attraction.
But now, the Soviet army is going to land from here. For them, the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to rise!
On the front rubber dinghy, there were soldiers in black uniforms. As long as you saw them, you knew that the Soviets were going to move.
They are one of the most dazzling troops in the Soviet army. Although the number is small, their military spirit is unmatched!
Black shirts, Soviet naval infantry.
In other countries, it is often called the Marine Corps, while the Soviets are customary to say naval infantry.
This force can be traced back to the time of Tsar Peter the Great until it was disbanded by Alexander I after the Napoleonic Wars. After that, naval infantry units rose again in the Crimean War and the Russo-Japanese War.
And their most brilliant is World War II.
In that terrible war, the precious Soviet army was consumed in large numbers, and it was the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops. Seeing that the Soviets were in danger, the Soviet navy was unable to fight against Germany at sea because of its backward warships.
Therefore, Marshal Kuznetsov at the time gave an order to organize the navy into a ground force organization, and the navy came ashore. They participated in the brutal defense of Stalingrad and participated in terrible battles. They used their own Blood and life wrote about their loyalty to the Soviets, and they also won the honor that belonged to them.
Although they are called naval infantry, they do not have any amphibious combat training or equipment. They are just ordinary soldiers in different uniforms, but their combat effectiveness is unmatched.
After World War II, the naval infantry was completely disbanded in 1947.
Later, it was rebuilt in 1961 and provided amphibious landing combat ships dedicated to each fleet to establish a minimum landing capability. At this time, their scale was quite small, with a total of less than 20,000. They were divided into 4 fleets of the former Soviet Navy: 2 regiments belonged to the North Sea Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet each had one, and the Pacific Fleet had one battalion.
Now, these black shirts are the naval infantry battalion of the Pacific Fleet. At this time, their eyes are looking at the mountains in the distance. They need to climb the cliff!
If they used a helicopter, they would definitely be able to kick it up directly, but for the sake of confidentiality, they did not do so.
The timing of their departure coincided with the replacement of the other's early warning aircraft. At the same time, the US Navy formation, under the attack of their backfire bombers, had already moved away from the land here. This was a rare opportunity.
The Backfire bombers' attack on the US aircraft carrier formation is actually still a feint, just to drive the US fleet away from here!
The US fleet is already far away. What they want to avoid is the long-range radar on the shore. If they use a helicopter, they may be detected by the other party, but it's different at sea.
There will be floating ice on the sea here. Even if the other party finds it, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a ship or floating ice. Moreover, there is no strategic value here, so it is very likely that the other party will treat it as floating ice.
There is only one chance. If they can't establish an advantage before dawn, then Moscow will have to bow its head.
The engine of the rubber boat was roaring, and the outline of the huge cliff became clearer and clearer in the distance.
Finally, the rubber boat stopped by the cliff, and a commander yelled: "Go!"
on! The warrior's hand grabbed the gap in the cliff and left the rubber dinghy. For them, this was just an ordinary rock climbing training.
In later generations, rock climbing is a very common adventure sport. This sport has the reputation of "rock ballet" and "rhythmic gymnastics on the cliff". It is derived from mountaineering and has strong skills and adventurousness. It is an important event in extreme sports, and if it is a competition, it is even more attractive.
However, few people know that this sport actually originated in the former Soviet Union in the 1950s and existed as a military training project in the army.
In the Soviet army, there are special special forces to train rock climbing. It is said that this sport has nothing to do with naval infantry. However, in naval infantry, it is still a basic training.
Now, finally received the miraculous effect.
Countless people are climbing up the wide cliff, as long as one person can climb it, that's enough!
Battalion Commander Varisi did not follow him to climb up, behind him, carrying a special backpack. (End of this chapter)
