Chapter 1705: U.S. Army Reinforcements
After entering the U.S. camp, Delved has been resting, he is a young officer, there is no old kind of extremely strict habits, after cleaning up the tanks that can be used, he is a little hesitant, 8000 tanks, although a third may be used, but against the Juno Line, can only attack a little on the periphery, such a small fight, not quite in line with his ideas, maybe can play a little role, set up a little credit, and break the convention, to achieve a phased victory, Even compared to the final victory, it is not a little bit worse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Giving up the comfortable work in the rear, taking the initiative to undertake the main attack task this time, and even the follow-up tanks are not in place under the premise, just carrying 12,000 tanks, he took the initiative to attack, Delved is a person who knows how to take risks, but any successful adventurer, not every time to take risks, when not taking risks, he is precisely the most conservative, he must ensure that when taking risks, he has enough chips in his hands.
Delved himself was hesitating whether to make a tentative fight or a risky attack, when another important piece of news came, from the other side of the Rocky Mountains, a small convoy of 400 tanks was heading off on the other side of the Rocky Mountains.
Of course, this batch is not reinforcements, with the United States' largesse, the first batch of reinforcements is at least more than 20,000 tanks, this is the established policy of the US military, according to the current production capacity, at most two months, these tanks can be sent to the front line.
The source of 400 tanks is actually those abandoned tanks, because of the emergency march, the military situation is not waiting for anyone, most of the abandoned tanks belong to the more damaged tanks, but a small number of tanks are only difficult to repair, it takes a lot of time, this part of the vehicles, the United States seems to have given up, in fact, they are just placed centrally, left to follow-up personnel to deal with.
Even if it is the United States, which has deep pockets, it is impossible to give up so many tanks worth tens of thousands of dollars at once, and the tank troops are not enough personnel, but there are still a lot of follow-up US troops, and they send personnel back according to the report of the tank troops.
For the tank troops, these lying tanks are very troublesome and slow down the speed of the whole team, but for the army, it is no problem. In fact, they were sent to temporary camps 300 kilometers away one after another, where there were still some logistics personnel and engineers, and after more than ten days of hard work, they really didn't want to find a repair that could be repaired, and then put together and repaired, and they were able to repair the parts to piece together 400 tanks.
400 tanks, relative to the total number of 8000, is relatively small, but in the current situation, this time, even if it is 400 tanks, is a lot of power, this news has become the last important weight, for Delved, the personnel on the left and right, can not launch an attack, simply wait a little longer, 400 tanks, the total amount is small, the target is smaller, and there is no need to travel day and night, although they set off 12 days later, but on land, it saves a lot of time, After all, within 300 kilometers, the armored corps of the US army can only travel at a speed of 60 or 70 kilometers a day, and the speed of 400 tanks can reach 170 kilometers per hour, which is expected to arrive five days after their arrival.
Although Delved does not know when the Japanese discovered the tank, it can be seen from the current contact that the other side does not have a bazooka, otherwise it would have been used a long time ago, in the dark night, knowing their location, when launching a sneak attack, the lethality of the bazooka is huge.
However, the Japanese used the method of human bombs, not rockets, otherwise, even if the US military has self-confidence and sees with their own eyes that Germany has used countless rockets to directly beat almost 20,000 tanks into scrap metal, only a small number of tanks have survived, if the Japanese have bazookas in their hands, even if there are only a few dozen, they will not be used, otherwise, even if there are only 50 guns, the loss of armored forces will be at least several times higher in that attack, just 50 bazookas, within 1 minute, It is capable of firing 150 rockets, which is enough to cause more than 120 losses at such a close range, even at night, which is more than twice as many as before.
According to the forces used by Japan in Alaska, even if it is small-scale equipment, 50 is too little, 1,000, or even 5,000 is not too much, but Germany is on the front line, at least more than 300,000 are equipped, from this point, it is enough to deduce that it is impossible to have bazookas on the front line in Alaska.
If we continue to deduce from this point, now, after Japan discovers that the United States is using tanks, it will definitely be able to know from China that bazookas are the strongest weapons against tanks, and in order to protect the defense line, Japan will definitely import bazookas from China, even if it is transported from China, it will take at least more than 20 days, deducting 5 days, and 15 days of attack, which is enough for them to take down the entire Juno's defense line, which is still waiting for the time to start.
Delved didn't know that he wasted the last opportunity, if on the day of arrival, they attacked desperately, on the premise that the tank trenches on the Japanese side have not been completely completed, and the Japanese side has not yet mastered the means of dealing with tanks, it will definitely produce miraculous results, it may not be able to occupy the entire Juno's defense line, but it can inflict heavy damage on Japan, once Japan's losses exceed one million, or even 1.5 million, Japan will compete with the United States in the future, will inevitably fall into weakness, and even really can't hold the Juno Line.
At the moment of the war, there is no if, it cannot be said that Delved is not doing it right, but the coping strategies of China and Japan are better, China's depth of research on armored forces is far above the imagination of the United States, and even some Americans are not aware of the protection methods, which have been taught to Japan by China, and the sudden arrangement of the United States just made Japan a little flustered, and the most bad thing about Japan is time, but as long as this time is more than 5 days, or even 7 days, a large number of tank trenches are arranged in place, At least thousands of anti-aircraft machine guns of various calibers are arranged in various places, perhaps on the periphery, not yet perfectly arranged, not enough to block the flood of American armor, but on the core position, it is absolutely sufficient, as long as the stability of the core position is held, this is the rock-solid foundation of Juno.
This is also the reason why even if Japan wants to destroy Kawasaki Meijing, a newly cultivated elite, it will drag the US armored forces for 7 days, even if it will wipe out several divisions under Kawasaki Meijing, and even if it has more divisions.
Of course, the Japanese high-level knows that the divisions under Kawasaki Meijing are not a little worse than the armored forces of the US army, and if they want to delay it for a few days, they may all have to work hard, but as a high-level, they must be willing to give up, fight out a few divisions, or even a dozen divisions, and give the rear a crucial 7 days, which is enough to ensure the stability of Juno, if it cannot be achieved, Japan cannot stay in Juno too much, and will keep a part of the troops in Juneau to drag down the US armored forces. Then retreat a few hundred kilometers away and go to the second line of defense.
For the current armored forces, distance is the biggest problem, from Vancouver to Juneau, only more than 1,000 kilometers, completely let one-third of the tanks lie on their stomachs, and a few dozen kilometers, the US tanks will continue to be damaged, and Japan will have enough time to build tank trenches and a variety of defense methods, and only then will Japan be able to block the attack of the US army.
It's a pity that the Juno defense line took 7 months to build, and it is always a loss to give up rashly, so at present, Japan is in this dilemma, arranging the Juno defense plan, but the U.S. military gave them time, the more time delayed, the more calm their mentality, in front of the middle line of defense, layers of tank trenches have been built, and the targeted training on armored forces is also continuing, just waiting for the U.S. military offensive to test the success.
About three days later, after expanding the scope of reconnaissance, the reconnaissance plane finally discovered that the number of tank convoys coming from the periphery was small, only 400 vehicles. Thinking of the 12,000 vehicles when the U.S. military set off, only 8,000 arrived in Juneau, obviously, 4,000 were abandoned, and the proportion of abandonment was quite a lot, obviously this part, it may have been during this time, urgently repaired, and he also understood the choice of the U.S. military, the U.S. military must have a certain reason, waiting for more tanks, 400 is not a small force, it seems that 400 tanks have been added, but in fact, they have missed the most critical fighters, and it is unknown to what extent things will develop.
5 days later, 400 tanks entered the camp, they were very fast, 12 hours a day, about 160 kilometers, from the camp more than 400 kilometers away from Juneau, to the battle line, it took 3 days, and most importantly, after entering the attack camp within 30 kilometers, it also needed to be overhauled and debugged, for the engineers, to be able to have the largest number of tanks into the battlefield, in order to achieve the best effect, fortunately, in a few days, they have restedThe armored forces were back in combat, and the time for the general offensive finally arrived, and the time was set for the fifth day after Delved arrived at the American camp.
