Chapter 1714: Group Charge
Even if the position was finally taken, the clearing of the entire hill did not end until the evening, and in the face of endless mines, the US troops had to cancel the years of camping on this hill and defended at the foot of the mountain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At night, the camp just built, a large number of American troops entered the camp, the largest tent, Delved and at least 7 lieutenant generals and above, standing in front of the strategic map, the map of the US army, but also continued the previous style, not photographic, nor high and low maps, but you can also see the layout of this piece clearly, before the US military spent a huge price and casualties, it is considered to put Juneau, at least 1200 square kilometers of the area, in this area, Japan's general layout, the distribution of the front, Even the strength of the troops is relatively clear.
Why did the U.S. military choose to attack Kawasaki Meijing, the reason is very simple, which nameless high ground where Kawasaki Meijing is located is just at the forefront of the entire battle line, if this nail is not removed, their armored power will not be able to deploy at all, which is also the fundamental reason why Delved must remove this nail at all costs.
Now it has been pulled out, because Japan left a lot of mines, and there is no way to use those lines of defense for the time being, but the U.S. military still simply took advantage of it, moved the headquarters forward, and arranged enough tanks in the rear front.
Delved had a fierce battle with the army officers, mainly the next day's attack, in Delved's opinion, the next day, only need to draw about 2,400 tanks, can carry out a tentative attack on two of the Japanese heights, so that the intensity is there, and it is relatively safe, the army still believes that the offensive should be strengthened, especially mentioning the pressure of the War Department.
Delved was under a lot of pressure, 12,000 tanks were sent to the front line in Juneau, and the U.S. military paid a lot of money, and the support for the armored forces was also what they wanted, in order to let the armored forces show their power and capture the Japanese positions in Juno on a large scale.
But it was easy to send the positional armored troops, not only did it not have any effect, but it was hindered, which made the army slightly complain, itself, if 8,000 tanks, replaced by 10,000 or even 20,000 artillery, it is not impossible, in the eyes of the vast majority of the army, to crack the Japanese phalanx, but also to artillery, not tanks, this kind of fresh, not verified weapons, which originally made generals at all levels have some complaints, and now, finally won which nail, but afraid to move forward, This is inevitably a matter of gossip.
Delved is a cutting-edge general, the development of the entire army is very good, but it is not able to resist the strength of the entire army, now the army is concentrated in Juno, at least 2.5 million people, the generals have come several, the pressure of these army generals, directly fell on Delved, plus China has a weapon to deal with tanks, tanks can attack freely, I am afraid it is only ten days, in the future, it can only be through numbers and mobility, and Japan is maneuvering, of course, if the bazooka appears, The losses are relatively large.
Although Delved also knew that it would be easy for the whole army to attack immediately, and it would be easy to have problems, or even be targeted by the other side, but if he looked at the map carefully, behind the nameless heights, there was a flat land between several highlands, and in the previous firepower reconnaissance, he did not find any movement in it, seize the time, and cross this area before Japan reacted, and in this theater of operations, the United States would have an advantage.
That's right, Japan really didn't arrange this open space before, because this open space is not dangerous to defend, rather than spending too much force here, it is better to arrange it in other mountainous areas, that is, after the arrival of armored forces, once the US army breaks through the defense line of Kawasaki Meijing, the next few defense lines will not be able to connect, and the armored forces can easily divide these defense lines, and then attack separately, this is a huge loophole, plus some tank data from the Chinese side, It took Japan seven days to transform this plain and a lot of the surrounding areas, and now it's completely different.
Delved argued, but in the end, he couldn't convince the others, and in the end, the slightest luck in his heart made him decide to attack in full force the next day.
For the whole night, Delved did not rest, his men, staff officers, commanders above the regimental level, all gathered in his camp tents, to study the maps in the hand, in fact, they had already made a plan for the operation before, and it was also divided into several levels, including such a radical way as the whole army attack, it was good to do it themselves, but now, when the Japanese may come up with tank trenches, or even other means, they must make adjustments.
The lights did not slowly go out until the early hours of the morning, and in the hands of Delved, there was already a complete method of attack, which was a whole army of 8,000 tanks to attack, with the power of armor, completely swept the entire Japanese position.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, when the fog in North America had not completely dispersed, the armored troops had already rushed out of the camp, and in the history of this plane, the second large-scale use of tanks appeared on the land of North America.
On the other hand, the Japanese high-level who had long been prepared for this also hid on a high ground, looking at the armored forces of the US army with a telescope, and came out, to be honest, after seeing the nearly 300 tanks captured by Kawasaki Meijing, they were already full of emotion about the tanks, but 8,000 tanks, such a scale, is still shocking, if it is not prepared in advance, I am afraid that if the US army attacks this time, they will suffer a big loss.
In fact, the scene of 8,000 tanks roaring, shocking, even if the Japanese have been trained, they have some understanding of tanks, they are also taken aback by this momentum, some recruits even wavered slightly, before experiencing the armored force, the army is faced with tanks covered in steel, can actually do very little, especially with the speed of rushing up the might, the kind of smoke and dust are overwhelming, giving people huge psychological pressure.
Responsible for guarding this area, it is not Kawasaki Beauty, Kawasaki Beauty has completed his task, although it is with the help of luck, the U.S. Army stayed for 5 days without attacking, which was blocked, but the last two days are real, with the help of various preparations, Kawasaki Beauty has completed this task under the premise that it has not suffered much damage, of course, you can retire and recuperate, and more than 300 tanks obtained, there are many people staring, but there are not many people who really grab Kawasaki Beauty.
At present, Kawasaki Meijing is a hero-like figure, at the bottom and the prestige of the military is quite high, it is no problem to study a few cars, if you want more, it will definitely not work, in the end Kawasaki Meijing retained 210 vehicles, and the rest was distributed to the major armies for training and research, these 210 tanks, with the help of China, training that tank wing, at this time have retreated to the core area of Juno, training in a safe place.
The Japanese army is huge, in terms of seniority, I don't know how many are higher than Kawasaki Meijing, after Kawasaki Meijing retreated, there were a total of 12 Japanese divisions at the forefront of the front, most of them were divisions before the 30th, not only have a long history, but also combat effectiveness is not low, and the proportion of veterans in the entire Japanese army division is relatively high.
Just like soldiers, recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of guns, for recruits, when they have not felt the atmosphere of the battlefield, artillery is the most afraid, once it falls on the top of the head, it is a little soft, the wrong choice, will die, but for veterans, you can have some judgment on the shell, at least roughly judge the landing point, just dodge, can't dodge, lie down in time, it will not cause a great impact, especially when the artillery fire is sparse, even more so. But the gun is different, the bullet speed is faster, more deadly, sometimes, the cold gun is more terrifying, even if you are repeatedly alert, the sudden cold gun, is enough to kill you.
How to say that it is also a fixed defense, the instructor from China gave the method of dealing with it, ordinary soldiers have no knowledge, but the officers have ah, the dense anti-tank trenches in front are anti-tank weapons, unless these tanks can fly, otherwise they can't pass at all, and now in front of them, in the middle of the plain, there is a huge tank trench, and now the surface has been covered with bamboo chips and the like, and even people can walk on it, the Americans did not think at all, There will be a tank trench in front of them that is enough to bury them, it's as simple as that, no weapons, just relying on the laws of nature, the laws of gravity are enough to trap them in the tank at a great cost.
Tank trenches also have a lot of flaws, for example, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not to move, as long as the opponent is slightly embankment, before the attack, to prepare for artillery fire, the role of the tank trench will be greatly reduced, and even a round of intensive artillery fire is enough to destroy most of them.
The Americans are not stupid, and the artillery preparation before the tank charge has also been carried out for a considerable time, but this time the trap has already been set up, and the Japanese army will not let the American artillery fire cover it so easily, even if this area is large enough, even if the American artillery fire cannot successfully cover it, but the play must do a full set, when the US army begins to prepare for artillery fire and clean up the front for the tank corps, from the first time, long-range artillery fire and division-level artillery of more than 100 mm will attack with the US army, Even if the artillery fire of the US army cannot be destroyed, it will not allow the US artillery fire to easily fire a salvo.
