Chapter 1763: Logging
In this uninhabited col, in addition to this part of the vigilance force, there are also some people who are busy, their work, and the vigilance, and camping have nothing to do with it, even the personnel are selected before, in the whole process of the march, they are ordered to rest, so last night's march, they basically spent in sleep, a night of rest, can not be said to be very good, it is also good, this is the time of energy, they were ordered to go to the depths of the forest.

The action of the armored corps is this good, the ordinary army marches at night, no matter who it is, it is a person who is on his back, even if he rests in shifts, someone must go up, and for several days in a row, the iron army has also become a soft-footed shrimp, so in the era of the Continental Army, the march day and night will only be used in special places, when there is a surprise soldier.
Mechanized troops do not have this problem, although in the armor, rest is not as good as in the camp, but after the Chinese modification, comfort and noise are greatly reduced, temporary rest is feasible, and even some nerves are thicker, rest is still very good.
Of course, the mission of this part of the people is not to hunt, although there are many animals in the jungle, but to rely on hunting to supply, this is almost a drop in the bucket, in the silent wild, the sound of gunfire can still spread far, far away, so before completely entering the no man's land of Canada, for the new army, unless necessary, no shots are allowed.
The task of this group of people is simple, to cut wood, to clear a large enough area by logging deep in the dense forest. In this camp, in order to protect the armored troops, they chose a dense forest full of tall trees, and the requirement for the airdrop is to have an open landing field, which may not necessarily be level, at least in the line of sight in the air, you can see that the open space is the best, unobstructed, even if it is because of the wind, the airdrop materials deviate a little, and they can be collected quickly.
This part of the carefully selected personnel, need to open up at least 50 landing fields in the dense forest, each landing field does not need to be very large, as long as there is a diameter of 30 meters of square, that is, 900 square meters, the landing field will be arranged in the depths of the dense forest, with a combination of radio guidance and ground layout, to guide the target to the aircraft, so that the aircraft can find the target.
50 airborne fields can accept airdrops from aircraft, even if according to the efficiency of dropping 2 airdrops per minute, each airdrop field can accept at least 60 tons of materials in an hour, so the efficiency is not low.
All use airdrops to supply, such a supply method is almost epoch-making, even in the World War II period, there was no such airdrop supply method, even if World War II was the first attempt of the airborne troops, but most of the airborne troops, are very miserable, whether it is the airborne division of the United States, or the German airborne division, often airdropped in a relatively large area of contention, no supplies, no reinforcements, only them, the mortality rate is extremely high.
Occasionally, several large-scale airdrops, in the besieged troops, give part of the supply airdrops, mainly to solve the problem of urgently needed materials, such airdrops, for the ground troops is a drop in the bucket, at most played a role in prolonging the breath, in fact, there are not a few troops, with the help of the airdrops, defeat into victory.
After World War II, with the strengthening of the air force, the significance of the airdrop began to increase, in the 50s, in the war that took place in the Far East, it was besieged by five or six times the heavy troops, and the people turned on their backs, almost to the Jedi American army, with airdrops and air raids, killed a bloody road, and kept the name of the US army without a reorganized regiment being annihilated, of course, the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical significance, this regiment was almost half disabled, and the price paid by the airdrop was also huge, consumed a lot of fuel, and some were shot downMost of the airdrops did not fall on the heads of the American troops, but on the hands of the encircling forces.
In the fifties and sixties of the 20 th century, half a century away from this era, it stands to reason that the difference in science and technology will be very huge, and China's scientific and technological strength, even if it is not as good as the US military in the fifties and sixties of the 20 th century, is not much different, especially in specific fields, such as the air force, some of which surpassed the US military of that era.
Strategic bombers with a take-off weight of more than 90 tons and a maximum load of more than 30 tons in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, the U.S. military may have something to match, in terms of cruising range and stability, far inferior, after all, China has begun to use turboprop engines, which was developed in the eighties and nineties of the 20th century. It has become the standard configuration of large passenger aircraft in later generations, and it can be said that it is a little untimely.
However, in this era, when the whole world has not entered the peak hour of piston, China has entered the era of turboprops by leaps and bounds, and in terms of fuel consumption per unit range and speed, he has completely exploded the piston engine, perhaps in terms of speed and explosive power, slightly insufficient, but large bombers and transport aircraft have never relied on explosive power to win. Just such an advantage can save a lot of fuel space, or increase the range, both of which are the most critical places for strategic transport aircraft and bombers, and therefore, China almost has a huge in-depth attack capability and long-distance delivery capability.
At present, the new first army of more than 5,000 tanks, according to the consumption of fuel and various supplies combined, the daily consumption is about 1,800 tons, in the case of war, it can even surge to 2,400 tons, which is enough for the consumption of the entire armored force, if you use strategic bombers, about 60, you can, such a small batch, for China, is not difficult, the only thing to consider, is a large amount of fuel, which can not be the same as other supplies, continuous large-scale delivery.
As a flammable item, after the fuel collision, it is easy to be detonated by the sparks generated by the collision and burn one or two forests, which doesn't matter, and it is not their territory, but once the forest fire is triggered, it is easy to attract the attention of the Canadian side, after all, it is not far from the US military camp, once it is discovered, it is not easy to hide, so that the entire cherry blossom plan falls short. Therefore, it will be divided into 50 airdrop areas for airdrop, which can not only ensure the efficiency of the airdrop, but also ensure the safety of the airdrop.
This is the first day of the cherry blossom plan, as a bet on the Japanese national sports plan, the initial layout is very thoughtful, not only to determine this uninhabited col as a campsite, out of careful arrangement, their airborne field in the dense forest, to prevent being discovered, in the height of about 20 meters and 30 meters of tall trees in the dense forest, a 30-meter radius, or even larger landing field, can not be seen in the distance, let alone hundreds of kilometers around, there is no trace.
In the dense forest, to open up such a landing ground, in addition to luck, natural, it is necessary to cut down a large number of trees, in fact, the choice of this dense forest, is because of the lush foliage, there is no glade, so the cutting work is still very heavy.
Although they did not carry large logging machinery, but after some simple modifications, they could still manufacture automatic logging machines, and simply made 200 of them, all of which were driven by small gasoline engines, which were originally maintenance tools, and after carrying enough gasoline, they could be automatically cut, plus these specialized lumberjacks, a total of 2,000 people were dispatched to carry out logging operations to ensure efficiency.
There is no need to land, just an airdrop, remove the tall trees that are blocked in the sky, some shrubs and low trees, do not need to be cleaned, because the signs are made of plastic, can be laid on the shrubs, according to the density of these primeval forests, about 3 meters apart, there will be a number, each time a landing field is opened, you need to clean up at least 100 shrubs up to the top, more than 50, on behalf of these 5000 trees, this is not an easy project to complete, even if there are automatic tools, They also hold on to the day.
In fact, 2,000 people did not take long, these trees, as long as they were cut down, and they did not need to be put neatly, let alone get wood, among these soldiers, a small number of them, even the timber workers who first landed in Alaska, frantically cut down wood, you know, when they first landed in Alaska, when various gold mines and other mineral deposits did not start mining, all kinds of timber throughout Alaska became the focus of trade between China and Japan, After all, when a large number of ships brought in personnel and various machines, it was impossible to empty them back, and the efficiency of the demand at that time made it impossible for ships to wait here, so some valuable things with a certain weight became the best filling, and wood was one of them.
In China, in order to protect the natural environment, there will only be large-scale selective mining of timber, that is, after Siberia is in hand, it is a little more abundant, but in Alaska, there are really more than 1 million square kilometers of land, only 1 million people, out of the settlement, and other places, basically virgin forests, a large number of trees, these have been cut down by the Japanese like worker ants, sent to transport ships, throughout the winter of 1916, Japan every month, 3 million tons of various timber to the Chinese sideIt can be said that a large number of lumberjacks were created, and in the early days of entering Alaska, logging was the largest type of work for the Japanese, almost supporting the early consumption.
