After the airport on Hokkaido Island was destroyed, the airport on Sakhalin Island became very important. This was related to the operations of the Russian Empire Air Force on Hokkaido Island. Therefore, the Russian Empire Air Force increased its protection of the airport on Hokkaido Island.
A large number of fighter planes of the 19th Air Force were stationed at large and small airports on Sakhalin Island. At the same time, there were several air search radars that were turned on continuously for 24 hours a day.
This allowed the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet to be discovered more than 200 kilometers away from Sakhalin Island.
"Woo! Woo!"
Then, a shrill air defense alarm sounded over Sakhalin Island.
A large number of fighter planes took off to fight against the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet.
Although, in order to destroy the airport on Sakhalin Island, the Japanese Navy and the Lighthouse Navy both took off a large number of carrier-based aircraft.
But there were also many MiG-40 fighters of the Russian Empire Air Force and MiG-37 fighters of the Russian Empire Navy’s Pacific Fleet that intercepted them. In particular, the number of escort fighters of the Oriental Navy and the Lighthouse Navy was not large.
Therefore, under the interception of more than 400 MiG-40 fighters of the Russian Empire Air Force and hundreds of MiG-37 fighters of the Russian Empire Navy, the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Oriental Navy and the Lighthouse Navy suffered heavy losses~.
Whether it was the Zero fighter or the F4F fighter, they were not the opponents of the MiG-40 fighters of the Russian Empire Air Force and the MiG-37 fighters of the Russian Empire Navy.
A large number of Zero fighters and F4F fighters were shot down.
And the Oriental Type 99 carrier-based bombers and Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft, as well as the SBD2 dive bombers and TBD torpedo attack aircraft of the Lighthouse, were completely facing the slaughter of the fighters of the Russian Empire Air Force and Navy at this time.
Although these clumsy dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft also have weapons for self-defense. However, in front of the advanced fighters of the Russian Empire Air Force and Navy, they can only be crushed.
After a fierce battle, the air strikes on Sakhalin Island by the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet could only end in failure. Not only that, a large number of carrier-based aircraft were lost.
For the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet, these carrier-based aircraft are very valuable. At the same time, it is also related to their next actions against the Russian Empire Navy Pacific Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet. If the carrier-based aircraft are lost, how can the next battle be fought?
Therefore, after the failure of this operation, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet both gave up the military operations against Sakhalin Island.
Even if the Japanese Empire Army put pressure on them, they remained unmoved.
This also made the military operations of the Eastern Empire Army on the island of Hokkaido even more difficult.
It also made the contradiction between the Eastern Empire Army and Navy more acute.
"His Majesty Tianhuang, embark! Eastern Empire, embark!"
Countless Eastern Army soldiers, holding rifles, with white cloth tied on their heads, followed the officers waving command swords, and under the cover of their own artillery fire, they launched a fierce attack on the defense of the Tsarist Russian Army and the Goryeo Army.
But what greeted them was the dense firepower on the defense line.
In order to avoid the loss of heavy artillery units, the Tsarist Russian Army and the Goryeo Army both hid the artillery. There were only mortars, grenade launchers and rocket launchers on the defense line. But even so, relying on the solid defense line, the Eastern people hit their heads and bleed on the defense line.
After all, the soldiers of the Eastern Army can use landing craft to go ashore. However, those heavy artillery can’t do that, and they must rely on the dock.
And the engineers of the Eastern Army finally built a simple dock during the day. However, in the evening, it was destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army. The heavy artillery and tanks of the Eastern Army could not land at all.
Under such circumstances, the Eastern Army could only inspire the courage of the soldiers and let them attack the solid defense line of the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army without the support of heavy artillery firepower. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Although, the Eastern Army Air Force is also trying its best to provide air support for the ground forces’ attack.
But they not only have to face the slaughter of the Russian Empire Air Force, but also have to guard against the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground. This also forced the ground forces of the Eastern Army to launch an attack under very unfavorable circumstances. Then, the loss of the troops naturally could not be small.

As time passed, more and more troops under the Eastern Army Northern Army landed on Hokkaido Island. At the same time, these Japanese were fearless and brave when attacking, and they did cause a lot of losses to the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army.
Even in defensive operations, it is impossible not to suffer losses.
But even so, the losses of the Japanese were much greater than those of the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army.
After landing in Sapporo and Tomakomai, the 3rd and 5th Armies of the Japanese Army’s Northern Army launched an attack inland.
Under the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of Japanese Army, they finally broke through the defense line of the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army, and surrounded the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army in the south of Hokkaido Island.
However, even so, it was not so easy for them to eat up the Russian army in the encirclement.
The Russian army deployed an army group here, as well as two army groups of the Goryeo Army, with a total of more than 600,000 people. In addition, a solid defense line was built and a large amount of ammunition and food were stored. Even if the supply line is cut off, they can rely on these ammunition and food to last for a long time.
If nothing else, a few months is enoughThere is no problem at all.
And a few months later, perhaps the situation on the battlefield has completely changed.
Besides, the other Russian army group deployed on Hokkaido Island and the three army groups of the Goryeo Army will not allow the blockade of the Orientals to continue.
They will soon gather their forces to launch a counterattack against the Orientals, and continue to consume the Orientals’ manpower with the help of fighting.
The tactics of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army on Hokkaido Island are very clear, that is, to hold on. Hold on until the main force of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy arrives in the Far East and defeats the Oriental Empire Navy and the Lighthouse Country Navy. Even if the Oriental Army that lands on Hokkaido Island at that time will face the dangerous consequence of having its retreat cut off again. It will naturally be much easier for the Russian army to annihilate them. .
