Tune the Pacific

Chapter 608 Wanli Iron Pliers 1

Khchaka Peninsula.

Next to the dense primitive forest of the Kamchatka Peninsula, a large group of snow wolves looked at the three black spots passing by on the ice surface of the Behing Sea. They kept spraying heat in their nasal cavity and seemed to see the fattest prey.

But only if you live here will you understand how difficult the long winter in the Arctic Circle will be. Even a little food will lead to disputes and killing, so the snow wolf will be so interested in the three fast-moving black spots, but they were soon disappointed. After a noisy motor sound, the three square boxes came from the ice. Passing by quickly, just at an unrearable speed, they dispelled all their desires and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

"It's a pity, otherwise we can have a barbecue tonight." Dong Dahai withdrew his eyes from the sniper rifle and closed the shooting window with his backhand. Suddenly, the chill in the carriage decreased a lot.

"Forget it, captain, that thing is dry and astringent. It's better to have a headhunter!"

"That's true. The bear's paw tastes good."

"You know nothing. The captain fell in love with the skin of the snow wolf and hoped to get a scarf for our captain's wife. Why don't you go back empty-handed and don't know what to be squeezed."

"Get out of here." Dong Daxu kicked the team member and scolded with a smile, "Do you dare to entertain me when you have nothing to do? Why don't you get out of the car and run after me?" No, captain, I can't keep up with the snowmobile. Speaking of the captain's painful feet, the night eagle quickly avoided the flying feet and laughed in the carriage.

The Siberian snowmobile is a new dual-use equipment that has appeared in recent years. There is also a short story, because it is not an expert or a mechanic who invented it, but an ordinary machine repairman who has served in Kamchatka. After seeing the frozen sea in winter, he has always wanted to get a The car can turn the sky into a route. Finally, he combined the advantages of sleds, cars and airplanes to create this kind of snowmobile driven by propellers.

His invention was valued by the Army Department, and experts were specially recruited to help him study it together to solve problems such as engine start-up difficulties and gasoline freezing at low temperatures. Finally, he applied for a patent for the soldier.

At that time, he happened to be retired. The army raised a lot of money with the veteran's retirement plan and lent him to invest in a snowmobile manufacturing factory in Harbin. He not only helped him explore the civilian market, but also landed 500 vehicles for winter snow patrols in the north.

In order to commemorate his years of service in Kamchatka, the machine repairman named it the Siberian brand.

With several years of development, the military Siberian snowmobile has been gradually improved. It is divided into assault type and transport type. It adopts two engines, 150 horsepower and 250 horsepower respectively. It uses a wooden propeller and is placed in the rear of the car. Recently, a ring culvert has been added to the propeller, consisting of two wooden rudders. Control the direction.

Because the temperature in Siberia is too low in winter, the steel will be very brittle and not too heavy, so the body adopts a double-layer wooden structure, only steel plates are installed on the front and sides of the car body, and the bottom of the car is two wide sled boards.

At present, the Nighthawk is riding an assault type. A driver and a co-pilot and machine gunner can carry six heavily armed soldiers at a time. In the ice state, the speed can reach 40 kilometers per hour and the driving mileage is 320 kilometers. As for the transportation type, it is wider, and two tons of materials can be transported at the same speed. It was transported 300 kilometers away.

For the troops stationed in the north, snowmobiles solved the big problem of winter patrol, so the troops were very welcome. After the war, orders of 1,000 assault and 3,000 transports were added in one go.

Half an hour later, three assault snowmobiles finally arrived at the camp in Petroba Frosk, Kamchatka Island. Seeing the continuous wooden barracks in the style of the early Canadian years, Dong Dahai smiled and thought that when the Nighthawk was first established, in order to exercise the ability of the army, the captain took everyone to live in winter. From Canada through Alaska to the Kamchatka Peninsula for exercise, thinking of that day, the tip of his heart was a little numb, and it was not as convenient to take a snowmobile now.

After the car entered the barracks, the first thing we saw was a row of simple barracks built before winter. As we all know, it was full of all kinds of snowmobiles, all of which added up to at least 300.

When the car was stable, Dong Dahai immediately opened the back door and went out. Although it was wrapped with thick wooden boards and the sealed surname was also good, the car was always a little cold, so the night eagle, including Dong Dahai, immediately got into the barracks for heating.

The red brazier warms the body quickly, and the big red lanterns hanging in the barracks bring a touch of New Year's atmosphere to the camp.

"You're back. I'm going to send a search and rescue team two days later." In the wind and snow, a man about 30 years old opened a thick curtain and came in. When he saw Dong Dahai, he immediately shouted.

"Ha ha, it's not that simple to want our night eagle's life." Dong Dahai turned his head and laughed as soon as he saw the person coming. After hugging him, he asked, "My leader Luo, aren't you going to welcome us empty-handed?"

"Come on, I'm going to be unlucky again." The person who came was Luo Qiang, Luo Sanniang's younger brother. He has now been promoted to major, and his face is not as green as before. He looks much calmer. Due to his identity, he is familiar with Li Qiang and other Nighthawk captains.

A moment later, Luo Qiang and Dong Dahai walked into the large canteen in the middle of the barracks, but as soon as they arrived in the canteen, more than a dozen officers in new military uniforms made the night eagles frown one after another. After seeing them, all these officers immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

Although everyone is an ally at present, the Nighthawks are still a little strange in their hearts, but no one said anything more. After saluting and greeting each other, they walked inside. While walking, Dong Dahai also asked, "They?"

"I just arrived five days ago, and there are three teams in total. They will act with us." Luo Qiang saw Dong Dahai's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Os, the old days did not exist. Now we are allies, and this kind of bad weather, let our own soldiers rush forward?"

"Yes, you are highly aware." Dong Dahai shook his head with a wry smile.

The food is not rich, mainly dried meat and canned food, but it still allows the night eagles to enjoy a good meal for more than ten days, especially the vegetables planted in the greenhouse, which is appetizing, and a large pot of white-faced steamed buns are wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the appearance of the night eagles, Luo Qiang couldn't help but feel funny: "Are you here to eat big families? Or have you really not eaten for a few days?

"It's about the same." Dong Dahai patted his belly and took a sip of the white wine in the toast. Then he burped contentedly and said with a smile, "Let you go first. I'll blackmail you hard when I get back to Yanjing."

The army usually bans alcohol and only provides light beer during rest. However, because it is too cold in Siberia in winter, you can drink some spirits to warm up, but it also stipulates the amount of alcohol you drink. Anyone who is drunk will be punished, so Luo Qiang did not add it to him after drinking.

After being full, Luo Qiang returned to the point and asked, "Have you gained anything?"

Luo Qiang is not an outsider, so Dong Dahai did not hide it from him. He pouted at a night eagle. The latter immediately moved the stool to the door and said, "There is now a battalion of the U.S. troops stationed in the Dutch port, with more than 600 people. There are only two military radio stations, but there are several radio stations on the fishing boat in the port, which need to be noticed. If you want to take them quickly and not be noticed, these fishing boats must be vigilant.

In general, with your strength, coupled with the newcomer, it is not a problem to take over the Dutch port. Moreover, there are two fish and meat canning factories in the port, which have built large warehouses, which can provide a place for storage of materials. In addition, we can build temporary tents to meet the needs of 3,000 to 4,000 people, but where is There is relatively little money. It is not easy to maintain the transportation of materials for such a long distance. Fortunately, the ice has been much thinner. When we came back, we had a grenade to try. The navy icebreaker should be able to go. If it leads the way, we can take the boat from Attu Island to Unaraska Island.

After saying that, Dong Dahai picked out his teeth with his nails and continued: "Although it is difficult, there are also benefits. Americans certainly will not think that we will seize the port of the Netherlands in the cold winter, not to mention that we will set sail in another month. As long as we stand there first, build a perfect camp and warehouse facilities, and wait for the army to come. It's much shorter to get to Alaska from there.

Alaskan Americans have never paid attention to it. There are almost no troops there, only some gold miners and adventurers, but they all have guns and may be slightly resisted. Moreover, the recent Canadian troops need to mobilize for at least a month to rescue and come farther from the United States, so you just need to take the Dutch port. The rest is very stable."

Hearing that he could take the icebreaker, Luo Qiang was finally relieved. He was not worried about his troops. With one regiment and three Japanese regiments, he took the small Dutch port, and even Aragas would not have any suspense at all. The main problem was the distance and weather. He arrived at the target Dutch port nearly 1,500 kilometers from Kamchatka. Among them, 400 kilometers from Kamchatka to Atu Island, this section of road needs to be transported by snowmobiles. Only after arriving in the warmer waters of Attu Island can the navy icebreaker approach. Coupled with the bad weather, there are a lot of wind and waves on the sea at this time, so it's really not a good job.

But there is no good job in the war, not to mention that this operation is related to the smooth launch of the northern line of the whole iron pliers plan, so no matter how difficult it is, you have to bet on this. As long as you take the Dutch port and don't let the news spread, you can launch a sudden attack on Alaska after sailing. Before the winter of May passed, the United States There is no chance to react!

Thinking of this, Luo Qiang gritted his teeth fiercely: "Captain Dong, have a good rest. I'm going to contact the navy icebreaker. We'll leave in ten days!"
