Chapter 1680: Artillery Sneak Attack

The U.S. military and Canada are two different parts, they each have their own demands, watching Canada and the Japanese fight to lose, but if Canada loses hugely, it is not in the interests of the U.S. military, really seeing the Canadian army lose everything, do you want the U.S. military to go on its own?

Thinking of this strong defensive line, the U.S. military is a little frightened, at this moment, even the U.S. military can't sit still, their previous estimates, some greatly underestimated Japan's strength, Japan is not only richly prepared, but also made a trap here, obviously, the Japanese are not negligent in guarding, is to take this line of defense as an important fulcrum, strict precautions, fortunately there was no rush to attack before, otherwise, it is the U.S. military that suffers from this, and the U.S. military will not behave as badly as the Canadian army, with a loss of 30% It is possible that the US army with 3 divisions may lose one division.

The U.S. military was glad that after they arrived, they did not act rashly, they were not attracted by the war exploits they saw, but waited for Canada, but now, how to rescue Canada has become a must-do, and the war with Japan will be a long-term process, lose a little today, lose a little tomorrow, and when the time comes, let alone drive the Japanese into the sea, I am afraid that their foundation in the Americas will be shaken, especially Canada, their military strength will not be able to resist the Japanese at all, once the United States gives up, I am afraid that Japan will really do something to Canada.

Alaska is so difficult, if Japan is really allowed to occupy all of Canada, what will become next, Japan will turn from a simple problem to a complex problem, the United States may not be able to take care of China, first solve Japan's problem, and then talk about it, at present, it seems that Japan's threat is getting bigger and bigger.

In the hearts of most of the high-level people, with this understanding, they no longer look at Japan as an unpopular power, but as an absolute henchman, and they must be completely eliminated, and they can no longer be underestimated, otherwise, something really will happen.

At the observation post, the US generals all picked up binoculars, at this time the front of the position, still in the smoke of gunpowder, as far as I can see, there are not many Canadian soldiers standing, I don't know whether they were killed, or lying down, but the entire battlefield is full of blood, how many people were hit by a machine gun under the face, the entire battlefield is full of blood, according to the probability calculation, at least thousands.

A general asked the staff officer behind him: "The Japanese machine guns are still ringing, what kind of machine guns are they using, and how many are there!" ā€

The staff officer looked at the record, and then said: "I don't know, I haven't heard the sound of the model, but the total number is almost more than 3,500, and the rate of fire is extremely fast, at least 1.5 million machine gun bullets were fired in 5 minutes!" ā€

The general's face showed a moving expression, this firing speed is definitely not slow, more than 100 rounds a minute, the most important thing is continuity, the continuity of the machine gun is not good, you have to take a break after a while, this is the most famous for Makqin, obviously, this is not Makqin, but a new machine gun, I don't know what model is used.

The general asked again: "Can you assess the losses of the Canadian army?" ā€

The person in charge of observation shook his head, it's really hard to say, although the line of sight on the front line is still unobstructed, but countless bullets have turned this area into a complete absolute domain, and all those who are standing and looking up are basically killed.

"By the way, why didn't our artillery fire be aimed at the machine guns, let them shoot like that!" The general in charge of the artillery suddenly remembered something, and said suddenly, but the officer who was questioned by him did not have the slightest fear, looked at him calmly, and said: "It's already turning, preparing to attack those machine gun positions!" ā€

The solidity of the Japanese position was far beyond their imagination, and in this case, it was certainly impossible for them to remain indifferent, and even the well-trained American troops, before the order of the superiors was issued, turned the artillery, and among the attacking artillery, at least 3 percent turned, and a large number of artillery began to turn around, and they were not at the front of the attack position, but began to extend the attack.

According to the speculation of just a short time, they have a certain understanding of the general position of the machine gun, in the war between artillery and machine gun, the range of machine gun can never be compared with artillery, for machine gun position, artillery is the best means of attack, machine gun generally can not touch artillery, but artillery can easily kill machine gun.

In the eyes of the U.S. military, more than 3,000 firepower points have been exposed, as long as the shells fall, it cannot be said that all of them must be blind, at least they will be affected, but after a round of three consecutive bursts of fire, the Japanese gunfire not only did not weaken, but became more and more intense.

"What the hell is going on?" When the American officer said this, he thought of the answer, in the midst of artillery fire, he was still able to maintain the intensity of the attack, and it was clear that the opponent was not an open-air machine gun position, but a protected, even permanent reinforced concrete bunker.

This kind of bunker, in the war, in the Bordeaux front, is very common, the Allies and the Central Powers, on the huge front less than 150 kilometers wide, attacking each other, simple trenches or open machine gun positions are easy to hit, they began to dig and build bunkers, the entire Bordeaux front, is in repeated battles, constantly looking for fighters.

Unexpectedly, in the winter of Alaska, the Japanese still built so many machine gun positions, this is still on the periphery of Juno, 3,500 machine guns, not necessarily 3,500 bunkers, but at least a few hundred, a small hill, just so many bunkers, Juno, thinking about it makes my scalp numb.

"Report, Canadian side requesting artillery support!"

The face of the American commander was ugly, at this time, although only one-third of the artillery was attacking those bunkers, but the bunkers were still indifferent, without the slightest interruption, it was obvious that most of the artillery had a low lethality for the bunkers, and even in a sense, only a direct hit of more than 100 mm guns could affect the bunkers.

Among the US troops, more than 100 mm artillery, the US army is not absent, but because of the muddy road, most of these guns are in the rear, and only about 20% of them come to the front line, and this part of the artillery is not enough to attack such a huge bunker group.

The liaison officer knew what was going on from the general's expression, in fact, he also replied to the Canadian general, but the general did not ask for coverage of the front line and bunkers, they only asked for an attack on the front line, and they didn't even have to worry about the problem of accidental injury, the attack was not on these bunkers in front, but to create gunsmoke and smoke, and strive to block the sight of these soldiers and let these soldiers run back.

This is acceptable, the artillery commander thought for a moment, then nodded, and gave the order, although the direction was changed twice in a short time, the well-trained American troops, or turned, they began to aim at the side of the front, there was definitely smoke, and there were even some craters, which could help the Canadian army hide, what they didn't know was that before they turned, the Japanese had already set their eyes on them.

In order to keep these 60,000 troops, the Japanese endured for a long time, and did not attack within their firing range, and kept pouring artillery fire on them, and in just a few dozen minutes, they poured about 20,000 or 30,000 shells.

As long as the boring artillery determines the position of the opponent in the trajectory again and again, in fact, in the first minute, the position of the 12 US artillery regiments has been determined, and in the next few minutes, it is accurate again and again, and now, for the artillery, as long as it is aimed at any target, at least most of the US artillery can be overturned.

At this time, Kawasaki Meijing's order was issued, and the artillerymen, who had long been hungry and thirsty, immediately opened the cannon's gun jacket, and the huge muzzle of the cannon was quickly aimed in that direction, and various preparations had already been made, the coordinates were clear, and the direction was determined with the fastest speed, and then the Japanese strategic artillery began to prepare for the attack.

At this moment, the U.S. artillery has not yet turned to the end, they ushered in the first strike, the strategic artillery located in the rear, arranged on those high grounds, more than 100 mm artillery, has begun to roar, the caliber of the Japanese artillery, may not be as good as the U.S. artillery, because the U.S. army has the largest 250 mm artillery, and the artillery has not yet been transferred to the front, but on the front line, there are also about 180 mm artillery, the total number of these guns is only 30, but it has produced a little bit of results, Six machine guns were wounded, and a small number of bunkers were damaged, but in very small quantities and did not affect the overall situation.

Of the 3,000 machine guns, only 6 have problems, and on the noisy battlefield, the influence is almost small, not to mention that the US troops on the other side of the battlefield do not feel it, even if it is on the Japanese side, a little farther away, there is not much feeling.

As far as Japan is concerned, there are very few new types of American artillery on the opposite side, and the firing range is quite limited, at most only about half of the Japanese strategic artillery 155, and even the new 108 and 120 equipped by Japan have far exceeded the US artillery of more than 180 mm in terms of firing range. In addition, the Japanese artillery is arranged on the high ground above 200 meters to self-injury, this difference, directly so that the range of the two sides is upside down, in order to avoid startling the snake, the Japanese artillery did not shoot, 60,000 Canadian troops, although not all taken, but have been controlled in the front of the battle line, annihilation is only a matter of time, now, it is just the time for them to shoot.
