Chapter 1671: The United States Strikes Back

In China is for the future layout, the vision of the luxury jewelry industry, when the domestic things are very stable, on the other side of the ocean in the United States, but also from the pain of the pain, after a year of adjustment, painful experience, in the past 8 months, a total of 18 capital ships launched, especially after September 1916, the integration of the harvest from the United Kingdom, concentrated on the construction of battleships, the United States actually burst out of unimaginable strength, a battleship, From launching to the completion of manufacturing, it may only take at least 6 months, and even if the sea test is added, it is only 300 days, which is much earlier than the previous 1 year of construction and one year of service.

What's more terrifying is not the capital ship, but a variety of auxiliary ships, a light patrol launch time is only 40 days, a destroyer 18 days into the water, such a speed, so that everyone is dumbfounded, especially later, the Americans concentrated all the manpower and material resources under the premise, this change is more obvious, although the speed of shipbuilding, did not exceed the original degree, but the battleship in terms of tonnage, or from the combat effectiveness, have been significantly improved, the United States is more and more confident, they finally discovered, It turns out that they really went in the wrong direction before, if they had such a huge fleet as a backing when they attacked the United States at the fantasy level, would China still be able to attack them as if they were in a no-man's land?

However, it is not too late to wake up now, although it is said that there are 18 more capital ships, as well as other warships of a large scale, which is definitely a great guarantee for the security of the US mainland, but in terms of China's strength that has been explored before, after such a long period of development, there are definitely more than so many capital ships, 18 ships, and it is far from reaching the highest level.

The United States concentrated all its manpower and material resources and began a frenzied shipbuilding to create a miracle in the shipbuilding industry, which was expected to be in April 1917. At least 37 3.5-ton super battleships have been launched, adaptive training and sailor recruitment have begun, plus the previous 18, there are 55 battleships, and that's not all, there are as many as 90 heavy cruisers, 150 light cruisers and more than 300 destroyers, this is a huge fleet, even if it is the battle between Britain and Germany in the navy, this number has not been reached, according to the number of 29 British and 18 German in front of the station, the two add up to only 47, this is the total combat effectiveness of the two countries, as for the heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers below, it is far inferior.

It can also be seen from this that the United States' extremely strong combat effectiveness is equivalent to the fact that the United States has spent a year to make up for it to create a navy that has always been large, and some of the sailors are not yet skilled, and their joint training also has certain difficulties, but with this, the hearts of Americans have begun to float, and the United States has participated in this world war in order to compete for world hegemony, and for many reasons, the United States must stand on the side of the victor.

In itself, from the beginning of World War I, all the strategies of the United States were correct, and it only took a short time to participate in the war, and it stood on the side of the victorious country, and had the same naval strength as Britain in the agreement on limiting naval armaments.

Although the navy has not yet been thoroughly prepared, the Americans are already preparing for a counteroffensive, first of all, against the Japanese army in Alaska, will send a large fleet to fight with China on the west coast, in case China interferes with their Alaska strategy, it is conceivable that the Japanese were sent to the American continent by the Chinese, and when the United States attacks Japan, China will almost certainly help.

The United States will send the army to attack Juno, where according to American information, the Japanese have built a huge defensive line, which is more than 60 kilometers away from the interior of the mainland, and the navy cannot reach it.

The navy cannot completely solve the battle, and the final decision of any war is only the army, otherwise, it is only an interest, especially for a land power, which cannot completely bring him to its knees.

It has been almost a year since the Japanese came ashore, because of the unique weather in Alaska, coupled with the heavy damage of the US Navy, there has been no more favorable method of warfare, and now it is finally time for revenge, in addition to naval rearmament, another good news is that the Panama Canal has been opened.

China attacked the Panama Canal, only attacked the dam, the Americans under the pressure of the war, the unimaginable force, in the restoration of the Panama Canal, paid unimaginable strength, especially in the area of several typhoons, still as much as possible to speed up the construction, and even because of the construction of many people died, but at present, in the entire United States has declared a wartime emergency, many things can be ignored, in Europe and the Atlantic, millions of people died, this part is suppressed, Not to mention the hundreds or thousands of people who were rushing to work in the Panama Canal, who could be thrown to Panama by the United States, except for blacks, people of color, and descendants of Indians, there was no one else, and they were not mainstream whites, how could there be too much repetition.

In this way, in the rush of work day and night, the construction of the Americans, also burst out of unimaginable power, and finally, let the Panama Canal be completed, although the Panama Canal compared to before, the traffic capacity has been reduced by nearly 3 percent, but this will be within a year, through continuous compensation, restoration and improvement, it is expected that after a year, the overall traffic capacity will rise to 1.3 times the previous one.

Large-scale munitions, through the Central Railway, transported to the west, piled up near San Francisco, the military ports on the west coast of the United States, began to be in full swing, from the cannons produced by the steel plant, directly pulled out, became a land-based battery, the experience of the East Coast, they can not experience it again, in case of repeated fantasy-class sneak attacks, it is not good, at most by May 1917, a huge fleet of more than 55 capital ships, will descend on the West Coast, in the eyes of the United States Navy, this force, They will become a decisive force, not only will they completely solve the Japanese army in Alaska, but they will also wave their forces in the Pacific Ocean and fight a war with China on the huge battlefield of the Pacific, which is completely determined by the sea.

Prior to this, the first to start the war of the Americas was in Alaska, which had already gone through a winter of preparations, and had long been overwhelmed by the pressure, and began to attack Juno, the United States dispatched 1.8 million troops, and Canada also took out 1.2 million, 3 million troops, concentrated in the northern part of the Americas. All of them are relatively strong troops of the United States and Canada.

Things didn't go according to the Americans. At least 800,000 troops, divided into 6 large groups, the largest is 260,000, the least is more than 70,000, divided into different directions, indiscriminately suppressed the Japanese army, hundreds of kilometers away, for the army, at most half a month can arrive, the responsible US military momentum, they believe that they will be able to drive the evil Japanese into the sea, get their start in the Americas, as long as in the Juno area, annihilate the main mobile force of the Japanese army, next, is the question of clearance, Although the Japanese immigrated to the Americas for an unprecedented time, almost 20 million people, most of them civilians, just a prisoner relationship.

The Americans, unbeknownst to them, had lost their chance. Perhaps in the winter of last year, when the Japanese did not gain a firm foothold and did not completely establish a defensive line, the attack of the Americans may have had an effect, and the forced attack of the United States at that time may cause a large number of non-combat casualties, and even a large number of troops will lose morale, but the two sides are almost at the same level, Japan can only transport supplies and reinforcements through China and through the Pacific route, but the United States can rely on its own territory and has a huge strategic advantage.

It's been a winter, the winter in Alaska, for anyone, is more difficult, but on the Pacific coast, it's okay, the daily temperature is below zero, but not more than minus 10 degrees, the wild can still live, China's experienced construction team, on the Canadian side near Juneau, has established at least 12 lines of defense, just permanent fortifications, there are 150,000 large and small, the total mileage of the tunnel, More than 12,000 kilometers, almost a quarter of the diameter of the earth's equator, as for the anti-artillery holes, all kinds of small fortifications, and even tunnels, there is almost everything, the Germans and the Entente, the trench group made along the coast of Bordeaux, compared with this, is completely different, here is more professional, more adapted to local conditions.

The location they chose was quite good, the opposite side had a wide field of vision, there was nothing to obstruct, of course the trees were cut down, and it was not easy to even establish a defensive line on the opposite side, after all, it was mostly based on stones, on the high ground, there were some suitable positions, and a large number of artillery pieces were also arranged, China's 155 artillery, so that Japan was like a treasure, even if the price of each one was extremely high, even more expensive than the 250 mm main guns of the battleships, but Japan still did not hesitate to take it, the total weight was light, Only less than 7 tons of weight, but the power is more powerful than the ordinary 230 artillery, in this specific area of the army, this thing is really much more powerful than a lot of large-caliber artillery, easy to arrange, but also can be quickly moved, especially by motor vehicles, 7 tons of weight, in the general standard highway, you can do rapid mobilization, in order to play a flexible use.

The most important thing is that it is hugely powerful, which is the fundamental reason why this artillery is so expensive under such power.

After Japan joined the overall sequence, I really felt that China was different from Japan, but it could be regarded as an eye-opener this winter, and I was still a little angry before, China didn't just rely on good equipment, if Japan had these good equipment, it should be better, maybe it would be able to win against China, and the war situation was the fertile land of the mainland, but the actual situation was that Japan was backward in all aspects, whether it was the idea of army building or training methods, compared with China, there was a huge backwardness, this pointJapan has always been a nation that is good at learning, otherwise it would not have risen in such a harsh environment after World War II.

However, the Japanese are confident that relying on this line of defense, they can deal with 10 times the enemy before, and now there are 2.8 million soldiers entering Alaska, and there are 1.2 million reserves that can be brought up at any time, and 4 million are stationed in this defense line, and they don't know how many soldiers they need to be able to defeat them, even if the United States and Canada use 3 million troops, don't want to fight down.

The key to the expansion of confidence in these weapons lies in the excellence of all aspects; reconnaissance planes often fly in the sky, and the movements of the Americans, and the reconnaissance planes also know that in the Japanese command headquarters, they have enjoyed a good treatment, that is, they have been able to stay at home, and all the enemy's movements are under control, and even the movements of every battalion of the US army, they are all clear.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, Japan is deeply influenced by the entire Chinese cultural circle, many of China's traditional tactics are very marketable in Japan, although it is an ancient concept of war, but the simpler the concept, the more it can be proved that the basic concept of war, these basic concepts are applicable to the war in the era of thermal weapons, and even more excellent.

In the era of cold weapons, even if the opposing troops are found, they also need to be ordered and executed, in a sense, in any link, if there is a problem, it is easy to make the entire layout fail, but in the era of thermal weapons, as long as it is found, if it is not suitable to use artillery, infantry and mobile firepower can be used, and at the moment when artillery can be used, a round of artillery saturation attack is enough to solve the problem, and now, Japan is on the front line in Alaska, at least a large number of artillery pieces are arranged, which the Americans do not know at all, They still held that before the First World War, a small part of them borrowed the methods of the First World War and used them on the positions of the Japanese, in this case, there was no other way to think of except to achieve very insignificant results with huge human lives.
