The expansion of the armed forces, on the one hand, is the basic personnel, on the other hand, weapons and equipment, the latter is not lacking, in order to let Japan drag the Americans in Alaska, China almost responds to Japan's needs, except for some strategic weapons, other conventional weapons are basically guarantees. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This has brought a solid foundation to Japan's expansion of military strength, coupled with the fact that Japan is a martial nation, even in China, a large number of permanent divisions have been annihilated, but such a long time of accumulation, coupled with the enthusiasm to defend this piece of land, let Japan join the army quite enthusiastically, before the arrival of winter, Japan's army has reached 2.3 million people, which is not a small number, relying on the Juno Line, 2.3 million troops can be arranged very thick, Japan has fully established 4 defense lines, It's still early, and more could have been arranged, but Japan didn't do that.

Although the follow-up defense line is still being established, but the personnel are evenly distributed, which is not conducive to defense, at most 3 lines of defense, and even in the 3 lines of defense, it is also important to focus on the two lines of defense, if the opponent's attack is too fierce, you can exchange space for time, so that you can make better use of these lines.

In addition to the complete line of defense, to defend well, the most important thing is artillery, which Japan has absorbed the essence of the Chinese military system, for the arrangement of artillery, far more than the previous permanent divisions, various types of artillery, at least 100,000, an average of 23 people have a cannon, although the vast majority of them, are mortars such as two or three people to operate artillery, but more than 100 mm artillery is also a lot, including even the famous Chinese 155 artillery.

Although it is said that the 155 in the hands of Japan is an early model, it is also 155, which concentrates China's top technology in the field of artillery, and finally under the mention of Yang Yuanzhao, the artillery that was taken out, the later model for his modification, only modified in depth, and did not surpass its basic model, even if it is the most elementary model, if you use ordinary long-range grenades, you can ensure a range of about 40 kilometers, and the later model is just a modification of the material, shells, or to strengthen the function of self-tightening of the tube body, With a larger charge and special shells to increase the firing range, the basic ones have hardly changed much.

Of course, using the bottom emptying and self-tightening function of the tube body, the latest Chinese 155 can reach a range of 80 km, which has more than doubled the primary version, and the range of 80 km is already considered over-the-horizon for this era, and the range of the original version for Japan is also more than 42 km, a proper ultra-long range.

General artillery, China does not care, but 155 is strategic artillery, as long as there is 155, even if the strength is far inferior to the Chinese army, as long as the Chinese army dares to attack, then it must pay a considerable price, but in China's artillery technology gradually progressed, has gone up a few steps, for this artillery, China's control has dropped a lot, not only to Germany equipment, now Japan is asking for the door, can not give at all, give Japan 300 doors.

300 guns, for ordinary artillery, not much, a German division, the number of guns above 100 mm exceeds 300, but this for 155, it is not equipped at the division and regiment level, it is at least a strategic artillery at the group army level. Japan had only heard that this strategic artillery had a long range and great power, but when they really got it into their hands, they found that they had imagined as much as possible before, and still underestimated the power of this artillery, which was a strategic artillery fire specially designed for war, and as long as it was placed in the rear of the Japanese defense line, it would inevitably show its role on the battlefield.

The firing range of 40 kilometers, which has surpassed the limit of optical sights, also exceeds the range of the world's most powerful warship artillery, the maximum firing range of most naval guns is about 30 to 40 kilometers, but the effective firing range is at most 20 kilometers, and the real sure shooting range is about 10 kilometers. Although it is said that with the help of telescopes, it is no problem to see 40 kilometers in the mountains without any obstruction, but this is not enough to reach the level of artillery aiming, and if there is no special aiming method, the error will even exceed 100 meters by virtue of experience.

In naval warfare, if the error exceeds 100 meters, the hit rate will almost be reduced to an unbearable degree, and the same is true in land warfare, before the artillery sighting radar progresses to a certain extent, after the artillery exceeds 20 kilometers, it is quite unreliable, and it is impossible to use a more professional aiming method to reduce the error.

China's 155 artillery, although it is a standard configuration of firepower at the division level, is not used in sports warfare, even if it is useful in sports warfare, it will control the range within 15 kilometers, what really makes him play a role is land defense warfare, land defense is completely different from naval warfare, naval warfare does not have a fixed area at all, both sides are moving operations, the speed of battleships is quite fast, under the premise of huge relative speed, in a large case, mutual shooting depends on luck, but land warfare is different, In addition to optical sights, there is also something that has been used for a long time, interval setting, replacing position with zone, as the main aiming method for artillery shooting.

This practice is mainly aimed at defensive operations, defensive operations on a fixed battlefield, dividing the possible enemy troops into sections, and then using artillery to try, calculating according to the curve and angle of the artillery, and calculating more accurately, a certain angle and position, covering all the shelling indicators required for another range, when the time comes, there is no need to look at the distance at all, the commander in front will report a specific area, and then the artillery group in the rear can carry out fixed shooting according to these areas, in a way of coverage, Attacking the enemy, rather than shooting at a single target, allows for maximum range of the 155 gun, which is also used for strategic purposes.

In the process of designing, the strategic artillery fire will be more than 35 kilometers away from the forward position and will be diagonally inserted in the rear, except for the disadvantage of being a little closer to the seashore, there will not be many other problems.

The 155 as a strategic artillery, which can not only give full play to the great advantages of the 155, but also quite accurate method, was transplanted by the Japanese to the Juno Line, with a huge artillery as the backing, there are a large number of special cement and steel construction of the defense line, a full eight or nine months, the Japanese side of this line of defense is impregnable, according to their understanding, even if there are 5 million troops, the artillery fire is 10 times their current one, with the support of 155 and many heavy artillery, they can also fight with each other, Hold this line of defense.

After seeing China's reinforced concrete defense line, the Japanese realized their shallowness, the army is not to encourage morale to rush up, it needs scientific and accurate design, just like the machine guns arranged in parallel in the first line, and the machine guns arranged in two oblique angles, it seems that the line is closer, but the cross bevel angle, greater play the machine gun penetration and lethality of the advantage, but than the parallel arrangement of the power is much greater.

The same is true of the defense line, China's defense line, not only got Yang Yuanzhao's reminder, but also sent a large number of personnel to verify, they are familiar with military theory, for the grassroots combat effectiveness quite understand, how to avoid artillery attacks, how to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks, the arrangement of firepower points, the arrangement of artillery fire, etc., this is a complete system, that is, China has a systematic and in-depth study in this area, even the Japanese learned, there are some clouds and mountains and fog covers, that is, after China's guidance and arrangement, this is arranged, There are almost no dead ends on the position, in a complete situation, in the front two lines of defense, most of the soldiers can use their strength in one place, such a lethality, I don't know how much it has risen.

On the one hand, Japan is an outsider in the Americas, without a solid foundation, and the area and population of Alaska are also quite different from those of the United States, that is, the right time, place and people do not have it, and they can guard the Juno Line, relying on this strong defense line, to achieve the goal of bloodletting the United States, even if the task is achieved, there is no need to think about the rest.

The United States is completely different from Japan, and its thinking is more European, and it does not have the idea of killing and benevolence of the Eastern civilization, but it is quite concerned about human life and human rights, although it is said that some battles will be filled with human lives, but they are not pre-designed, and it is only a coincidental relationship that has to be tough, even if the higher-level commanders have this idea in their hearts, it is impossible to say it explicitly, as long as it is clearly said, it will cause a mutiny in the entire US military in minutes.

Through its own understanding of the Americans, plus some of what China and Germany know here, Japan knows very well that in a war with the United States, as long as the number of continuous casualties reaches a certain level, maybe one or two million, maybe three or four million, or at most five million, if the US military loses more than 5 million in Alaska, even if the US government and consortiums want to fight, it is impossible for the people to continue fighting, and they will not get any support, and Japan's purpose is the same, to force the Americans to retreat, so as to obtain the actual possession of Alaska.

From Japan's point of view, the most important thing is to hold Alaska stably and steadily, Alaska has all the conditions for Japan to take off, and it must stand firm in order to be able to count anything else, and even a foothold is unstable, and any vision and future are illusory.
