Chapter 347 Atomic Cannon
With a violent bump, the world's largest passenger plane, the Map 114, landed, allowing the major European newspaper reporters who were riding to experience a different charm. This charm lies in the fact that when you are a passenger plane, you can feel the feeling of riding on a fighter. I believe this experience should have a different impact in their lives.
"It's not bad, it seems that it's been more than twenty minutes earlier. It's really the Russian Airlines that never delays! Our fighter pilots never disappoint..." Selov, who was escorting himself with a group of flesh shields, walked down from the ladder bit by bit. A group of officers below had already been waiting. When they saw Selov coming down, they raised their heads slightly, looked up at them and saluted.
"Comrade Selov, welcome to Cuba, especially at this time." Lieutenant General Grechko, commander of the Cuban cluster air defense force, held Selov's hand tightly. At this critical moment, a KGB was sent as deputy commander in the country. Although he did not understand, he had never heard of Selov's name. When the KGB general was the director of the General Administration of Military Administration, his name had been remembered by all senior Red Army officers.
"Yes, the situation seems to be quite tense, and the blockade has lasted for four days." Shelov said hello and pointed at the reporter group behind him, "I brought a group of reporters who are not afraid of death. If it weren't for them, maybe the American fighter jets that had been escorted for so long at close range would have me buried in the Atlantic Ocean!"
After entering the Caribbean, the American fighter fleet had been wandering around the Tu114 for a long time. Knowing that it had only dispersed over Cuba, this made Selov even more sure that it was right to take these reporters on the plane, and the cautious style might have saved his life.
Selov, who came to Havana from Moscow, was wearing a gray woolen coat and military uniform. He felt sweating under his clothes for a few minutes after getting off the plane. He followed him directly into the jeep. As for the reporters' group, he believed that Castro would not disappoint him, and should understand how to use these European reporters' groups.
"Uncle Priev, we just met in the Kremlin not long ago." Selov directly followed Lieutenant General Grechko of the air defense force to the Cuban Cluster Command, a very ordinary building with some secret sentries outside. But finding such sentries is not a problem for people like him who are from the KGB.
The command post of General Priev in the headquarters is also very common, but the Cuban map hanging on the wall shows the importance of this place. The red arrows are used to outline the assembly route of the Soviet Cuban cluster, covering the fourteen provinces of Cuba. As well as the defense areas, Selov walked back and forth in the command post and observed the furnishings. It was obvious that General Priev was preparing for the purpose of the war. After all, no one knew what the final result was.
Under the cover of sea and air superiority, facing the close American land, you can imagine how much pressure General Puliyev was under. The US Army divisions of five divisions were not considered by General Puliyev. However, his strong sea and air superiority could not be ignored. The entire Cuba was an isolated island. Once a war broke out, the Cuban cluster would not obtain any support from the Soviet Union, except for the support of the Cuban people.
"Yuri, I mean to be based on urban combat and defend an island country with coastlines across the country, which is far beyond the military strength of the Cuban cluster. Even if I can allow air defense forces and naval infantry to join the battle after completing the mission, I still cannot afford the defense of the entire coastline." General Puliev said in a heavy tone, "Instead of competing for the beachhead and letting our soldiers have low eyes on the coastline's enemy, the navy and air force, it is better to be based on land warfare."
"Do you copy the Battle of Stalingrad? The Cuban cluster has only more than 70,000 people, and the number of people conducting street fighting seems to be insufficient." Selov never thought of winning. This battle was impossible. The difference is how many backs the Soviet soldiers could take before they died. At least the five US Army divisions in Florida should be brought closer to hell together.
After looking at the map for a while, Selov suddenly remembered Guantanamo Bay, which was the place where the Soviet Union declared to the outside world that it must help Cuba abolish the unequal treaty. He pointed to the map and asked, "Have you deployed the attack on Guantanamo?"
"It's ready, we're ready to attack with a tank regiment." Lieutenant General Grechko replied, "The land area of Guantanamo's US base is only a few dozen square kilometers, and the tank regiment can be captured in one assault."
"But Guantanamo military base is a port by the sea, which means that the US Navy can support it. With the movement frequency of the US spy satellites on our heads, we have just concentrated our forces and the news may be reported to the US Navy." Selov said calmly with his hands in his pocket, "It's a bit of a risk to let the tank regiment be exposed to the enemy's naval guns."
"But war is a risky one, it is war, not a game like your National Security Council to deal with mass sexual riots. We are facing the US military. How can we win if we don't take risks?" Lieutenant General Grechko insisted on his own opinion.
"The internal affairs forces also participated in the National Defense War, and the Derrensky Division also participated in the Defense War in Moscow when it was the most dangerous. Don't think that we anti-counterfeiting workers cannot fight." Selov retorted Lieutenant General Grechko coldly, and then turned his attention to Guantanamo base again, as if looking for a countermeasure.
"I really want to hear the plan that General Selov said was not risky!" Lieutenant General Grechko said a word and stood aside.
"What is the plan that I don't take too much risk?" Shelov thought for a long time, "Fortunately, I had expected this situation to happen. There was something in the hands of the KGB inner guards on Cuba Island, which I put into the previous freighter through the approval of the Minister of Defense Marshal Malinovsky. You don't know about this."
"What is the mystery?" General Puliev, who had not spoken, also asked with interest.
"The 420mm self-propelled atomic cannon is one, and the shells are two. As part of the preparations for the Guantanamo US base earlier." Selov thought for a moment, "The atomic cannon is in the hands of Alexev, the head of the KGB Cuba. This kind of ragged Ministry of Defense is not rare, so I got it to Cuba to exert my remaining heat!"
The 420mm self-propelled atom cannon was exposed only once in the Red Square parade five years ago. In fact, after the Soviet Union developed them, it never seriously considered how to use them. Because the Il-28 light bomber of the Soviet front-line aviation company could complete the task of implementing tactical nuclear assaults. At the same time, the Soviet Union could carry low-equivalent nuclear warheads and the development of tactical rockets and the development of the Soviet Union was close to completion, and their use was much more convenient than these two behemoths and had a wider range of attacks. In fact, before the Cuban crisis, this thing had been brought to the Military Industry Museum by the Ministry of Defense to make decorations. Shelov remembered this and thought that hiding an atomic cannon in Cuba could scare the US military army even if it was not used. If Slov remembered correctly, the last time he came to Cuba for inspection, he had already built a launch base.
"Transport the atomic cannon to the outer position of Guantanamo within one day. Depart at night, the self-propelled atomic cannon can move, and a night should not be a problem. Cuba is not very big!" Serov directly expressed his less risky idea.
This relaxed tone made the Cuban cluster commander General Puliev and Lieutenant General Grechko look at each other, which is a less risky deployment? They both have been preparing here for so long, but they are both within the scope of conventional wars. Selov has just arrived in Cuba for less than an hour, and the preparations look like nuclear war no matter how they are.
"Actually, I went to the United States to negotiate with the order of the Central Presidium, but before striving for peace, I must let Yang understand one thing: they cannot win a nuclear war. They cannot defeat the Soviet Union at a certain price, but they will die together!" Shelov continued unmoved, "The medium-range nuclear nuclear of all the strategic rocket forces under the Cuban cluster will be adjusted immediately and aimed at Yellowstone Park in the United States. The secondary target is the largest city in the United States."
There must be a result. The Soviet navy cannot come up, and nuclear submarines can only play hide-and-seek with the US Navy in the Caribbean Sea. The United States is so close to Cuba, and dragging it down is actually unfavorable to the Soviet Union. In addition to more than 100 meat shields, the Tu114 passenger plane that Selov was riding on was also a complete set of equipment. This set of equipment can ensure that Selov could also be with Cuba’s Cuban Cluster Command at any time when he was in the United States. This set of equipment was prepared to join Dobrenin and take it to the United States.
After discussing with General Puliev, the commander of the Cuban cluster, and Lieutenant General Grechko, the commander of the air defense force, the commander of the air defense force issued an order to the entire Cuban cluster through telegram. The air defense force entered the second-level combat readiness, the strategic rocket force was ready to fill fuel, and the army troops were still deploying beachhead positions along the location where Cuba might have landed. Soviet soldiers began to deploy positions along the coastline and were immediately discovered by American reconnaissance aircraft over Cuba.
