Chapter 1732: The Role of Stupidity
Even if it exceeds the maximum firing range of the U.S. military, the U.S. artillery unit is still very professional to do a good job of protection, itself such an artillery, there is a full 5 centimeters thick armor protection, plus the sandbags piled up, even if it is directly hit by the Japanese army's large-caliber artillery, as long as it does not hit the vital point, it can ensure the safety of the artillery, continue to attack, and only after doing all this perfectly, the artillery reconnaissance began.

Japan is responding to the attack of the US army, and has really prepared some tank trenches, Japan is still fantasizing, can it be as brilliant as before, capture more US tanks, although now with the help of Chinese engineers, some tanks that were previously identified as scrap iron, and finally start again, Kawasaki Meijing's armored force has increased to more than 3,000, and it is still increasing, but if the total number of captured tanks is more, 4,000, 8,000, or even 10,000, Surely they will have a chance.
Kawasaki Beauty's plan directly made everyone else extinguish the idea in their hearts, even later, a large-scale confrontation with the U.S. military, obtained more tanks than before, and they also wanted a piece of the pie, but then according to the Chinese side's suggestion, they were all divided into Kawasaki Beauty, and they had almost no chance.
But with the increase in the number of captured tanks, they also spied on many sides, and finally knew that the Sakura plan needed not as many troops as possible, according to the calculations of the Chinese side, the limit is 5,000 vehicles, and in the case of more than 5,000 vehicles, logistics and supplies are not so convenient.
Because of this, these Japanese Army backgrounds have a lot of thoughts, Kawasaki Meijing has no way now, after all, this cherry blossom plan has been supported by the high-level, and even the emperor has come forward, in this case, even if they want to reach out, Kawasaki Meijing is really a ruthless person, actually for so many tanks, put himself in a desperate situation, there are so many people from top to bottom staring, it is impossible to do something from the middle, at most get a few as samples, no more.
But now, the huge armored attack of the United States has given them hope, and the Kawasaki Meijing side has a maximum of 5,000 vehicles, so the number of more than 5,000 vehicles may be able to let them divide it, and they don't have to risk their lives to get those tanks like Kawasaki Meijing, as long as the American attack continues, maybe they can get a few hundred vehicles, and they can form one or two brigades.
The wishes are beautiful, the reality is cruel, the Americans are not stupid, they were only slightly underestimated before, and the preparation of the Japanese was beyond their expectations, how could they be on the third time after being fooled twice.
Now 200 guns with a range of more than 20 kilometers are even more powerful, with the help of artillery fire, the front line that needs to be attacked has been plowed again, and these newly dug tank trenches by Japan have been cleared out except for some individual soldiers, which have escaped the coverage of artillery fire, and the rest have been cleared out. Of course, it can't be all destroyed.
A tank trench more than ten kilometers long and a few meters wide cannot be destroyed by hundreds of artillery fire, but the United States does not need to destroy these tank trenches, as long as it blows up a passage in the tank trench, as long as the passage comes out, the tank just does not move too conveniently, will not be trapped or unable to move, let alone helplessly turn.
Japan also discovered the purpose of the United States, if the United States continues to fight like this, when the tanks rush up, their infantry can only fight with their lives, in the step by step contact and war, the Americans are also smart, and then want to use a single soldier to easily kill the tank, it is really not easy to take.
It is necessary to knock out the American artillery fire, which is also where Japan determined its own advantages before, simple tank trenches and bazookas, can not stop the high-speed charge of tanks, this point was known before, in fact, when the US artillery began to exert its might, the Japanese artillery was ready, ready to give the United States a little bit of color, in the Juno's sky, the artillery has always been dominated by Japan, and the US army can only be passively beaten.
However, after the study of elite artillery, the location of these American artillery fires was finally roughly given, which was at least about 7 kilometers backward compared with the previous position, which does not seem to be much, but with Japan's current relatively accurate artillery range of about 20 kilometers, unless the strategic artillery fire is placed on the front line, it is possible to get the American artillery fire, otherwise, it will be beyond the reach of the whip.
This is absolutely impossible, the 155 obtained from China, each of which is the treasure of the Japanese Army, with a fast rate of fire, light weight, and long range, in the eyes of Japan, this artillery is the perfect artillery for the infantry, and it is easy to get so much from the hands of China, all of which are precious and cannot be done, and none of them is allowed to have problems, and it really gets to the front line, what to do, because the range between the two sides is about the same, the Japanese artillery can reach the US army, and the US artillery can also hit, Although the American artillery cannot be compared with theirs, there is no chance of any accident, and the artillery that is easy to get cannot be wasted here.
As for increasing the firing range, Japan has never thought about it, according to the statement provided by the Chinese side, the range of the 155 artillery is about 40 kilometers, at least more than 35 kilometers, according to this range, it should be possible to include the opponent's artillery into the firing range, but unfortunately no, Japan has also tried in artillery training, even the most elite gunners, after the firing range exceeds 25 kilometers, there will be an error of more than 500 meters, 35 kilometers, basically can only be determined within 3 kilometers, Maybe tens of thousands of shots, a blind cat touching a dead mouse, should be able to reach the US artillery position, but more will fail, most of them depend on luck, maybe a hit, maybe an hour or two, it is possible that it will not fall on time.
But this is useless, useless, even in the accurate range of the Japanese army's American artillery units, when supporting the tank charge, can also play a few tricks with the Japanese artillery, in a large-scale charge, and even with the Japanese army for more than an hour, in that case, according to the intensity of the opponent's shells, obviously, did not suffer fatal damage, until the back, fought for several hours in a row, and there was no good development on the scene, before the initiative weakened.
Even if the firing range is close to more than 7 kilometers, it can't completely suppress the artillery fire of the US army, not to mention that now, the artillery of the US army has suddenly increased by 7 kilometers, looking at the sparse artillery fire, the number should not be very large, but even so, it is very depressing, the tactical literacy of the Americans is very sufficient, this must be a special weapon, this artillery will definitely not be missed, all are in strict protection, even in the face of intensive artillery fire, you can pass a few moves, such a rabbit-like attack, there is no way.
200 guns, in the entire Juno front, is not much, even more than 20 kilometers of range, the US army can not do accurate shooting, they are not as accurate as the Japanese mapping, but simple aiming and elite gunners, can still make the accuracy control band above a certain extent, this extent, may not be able to carry out long-range support for infantry attacks, the US army is not attacking one or two moving targets, he just hits tank trenches, which are fixed targets, except for individual tank trenches, Each tank trench is a long and wide trench, and the probability of hitting a salvo with probability is very high at 200 guns, but on the contrary, their position, the Japanese will not be able to touch, unless the Japanese are willing to fight bayonets with artillery like the United States.
In this way, a stupid and coarse, even in peacetime, it is impossible to even pass the standard, in peacetime, military spending is to pass through the parliament, and an artillery that can only play a tactical role is impossible to pass, after all, this artillery can only be used in a more specific environment, and most of the environments in wartime are not suitable for use.
However, in the war years, everything is based on war, the requirements of war are the greatest, in the face of the requirements of war, many things can be put aside, such a weapon that seems to be a waste, but in Juneau, a unique battlefield, played a super role, directly reversed the situation of the US army, 200 guns, you can support a piece of sky for the US tank charge, with more and more follow-up artillery, more and more combat areas to support, Japan began to have a headache.
In fact, in itself, in terms of strength, the combat effectiveness of the US army on the Juno front line is superior, not to mention tanks, tanks are tanks after all, just like the infantry in the era of cold weapons for cavalry, it is a last resort, although occasionally there are infantry defeating cavalry, but in most cases, it is normal for cavalry to beat infantry, even if it is well-equipped infantry, occasionally some victories over cavalry, But they couldn't hold on, couldn't expand the results of the battle, ate a small part of the cavalry at most, and then were defeated by the cavalry and won many times.
The same is true for the infantry, although in the era of thermal weapons, the infantry has weapons to deal with armored forces, but these weapons are not decisive, or rather, the limitations of these weapons are very large, as long as the other party is familiar with it, it is Japan that falls behind, before such an artillery does not arrive, the United States has been able to steadily suppress Japan, and now, with this model, under the premise of being able to attack and defend each other with Japan's strategic artillery, the powerful attack power of the tank is immediately displayed, In just half a month, the US forces launched a total of 21 division-level attacks, all of which were victorious, and the battle line was advanced by 100 meters at a time and 500 meters at most, making Japan's originally solid defense line a storm of rumors.
