Chapter 1782: Superiority of the Air Force

Everywhere Kawasaki Meijing went, it caused a series of sensations, facing the handshake of Kawasaki Meijing, the excited young faces, especially the soldiers who had heard of Kawasaki Meijing's actions, but had not seen them with their own eyes, were even more emotional, you must know that most of the time before Kawasaki Meijing was in the transformation of the factory, and only at the last moment, he returned to the new army, the time was too short, he only had time to control the middle officers and ordinary officers, and there was no way to involve the lowest level.

Now, entering Canada, the first phase of the Sakura Project was successfully completed last night, and in the next few days, the possibility of encountering war has been reduced to almost the lowest level.

A few hours of rest, most of them are full of energy, Kawasaki Meijing is chatting, grasping the current situation of the troops, a tank team of 5,000 armored forces, with a total tonnage of more than 120,000 tons, not only the combat effectiveness is amazing, but the daily consumption is also quite amazing, the tank is for fighting behind enemy lines, it is impossible to carry much logistics for the tank convoy, even if the Chinese side has supported a large number of trucks on the Japanese side, these trucks are only suitable for fighting in the tight control area, Not very suitable for fighting behind enemy lines.

Compared with the tanks with armor protection and amazing speed, they can only travel on a smooth road, and the trucks with low reliability on the complex road surface are impossible to follow the tank convoy out, let alone fight behind enemy lines, these trucks will become the focus of this army's attack, and it is easy to be attacked.

The situation of the New First Army is acceptable, on the first night, the plan is relatively conservative, they did not reach the limit of the New First Army, at least 4 percent of the fuel remains, if you add some reserve fuel, you can make the tank reach about 7 percent, so that it can not only support a small-scale battle, but also support the tank troops to transfer more than 200 kilometers.

This is still a place very close to the Rocky Mountains, and even the base camp of the US army on this side of the Rocky Mountains is considered to be the same dimension, but the location of the base camp is about 180 kilometers south of his location, in terms of the reconnaissance range in this era, more than 100 kilometers, which is already outside the absolute control range, in the case of reconnaissance can only rely on manpower, at most on horseback, 100 kilometers, almost a fast horse galloping for 2 and a half hours of reconnaissance distance, if you don't get the exact news, No one will run this far.

You know, reconnaissance is not only for one direction, the ancient cold weapon era of war, the successful stolen camp, negligence is certain, but in most cases, if you want not to neglect prevention, the need to pay for personnel is huge, in the absence of telescopes, no more efficient means of the premise, the scope of investigation every few kilometers expanded, the density of reconnaissance and labor costs are amazing, even in the era of telescopes, to carefully investigate within 50 kilometers, it is a very difficult thing, Not to mention 180 km.

Here, there is also a dead end of thinking, this is still on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, Japan has never been active on this side of the Rocky Mountains, successfully confusing the American army, the American army has never considered that there is such a large army, has reached their side, is preparing to secretly march towards their depth, and even to some extent, blowing the death knell of the United States.

Kawasaki Meijing, who was patrolling the barracks, happened to meet Zheng Shuming, who had just finished sending a telegram, and sent a telegram for 2 hours, because Zheng Shuming had to be present, more than 2,000 words of telegram, even if it was just staring, it would take too much energy, and this was just a regular message every day, mainly about last night's march, in fact, later today, there will be a telegram sent over, which is about the airdrop, and he will conduct a comprehensive assessment from the airdrop, and send all the advantages and disadvantages.

In the next hour or two, there will be the most important operation for the New First Army, in which at least 70 large transport planes and at least 200 fighter planes will escort them, which will take off from Alaska, bypass the densely populated area of the US-Canadian coalition forces, and quietly fly to this uninhabited valley where they docked, and airdrop supplies to them, mainly to supply fuel and some logistical resources.

On the route map, the position that has been clearly marked, with the addition of radio and ground guidance, it is not difficult to reach that position, but everything has the first, this is the first time, not only Kawasaki Meijing is worried, even Zheng Shuming is the same, he is also worried about the problem of airdrop, the exercise is different from the war, plus the relationship between time and cost, in the previous preparations, it was only a small-scale exercise, and even the plane was not sent out to be directly airdropped.

The armored convoy carries relatively few supplies, they have to come to the airdrop almost every day, if the airdrop fails today, then at night, no matter how economical they are, they will not be able to go 200 kilometers today, people are fine, the tank is drinking oil, there is no oil, even if it is a powerful tank, it must be blinded. In the vicinity of Canada's no-man's land, the airdrop will be located around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, during this time period, there are fewer obstacles, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others.

Zheng Shuming just asked casually, but Kawasaki Meijing was more concerned, just now, he contacted the headquarters, and even in his hands, there is a special channel for contacting the airport, however, there is no need to contact them, now it is mainly the liaison officer of the Japanese headquarters stationed at the airport, responsible for transmitting information, and what is really connected with the airport channel is that some unpredictable things have happened, designed to facilitate contact.

Zheng Shuming and Kawasaki Beauty, there is a ride, no match chatting, in fact, for the two commanders of China and Japan, today's matter is almost handled, and there is only this airdrop left, Kawasaki Beauty has never seen the airborne, a face of worry, thousands of tons of materials, just dropped from the air, not to mention whether it can be transported, even if it can be transported, these things fall from the air, not broken, in short, Kawasaki Beauty does not know, what the airdrop is, just out of confidence in China, Even tanks can be used to dissolve cattle, and it may not be impossible to use airplanes to airdrop them like they are now.

The little worry in his heart made Kawasaki Meijing want to know from Zheng Shuming, but Zheng Shuming is the general assembly of armored forces, the army's things, more or less dabbling, but the air force things, for him, are really cross-lined, he is also well-informed, knows some flying clubs, and even when he goes out for meetings, he has also taken one or two planes, but the only few flight experiences, and large-scale, thousands of tons of airdrops, this is not a concept at all.

However, it is precisely because of this trip to the hinterland of the United States that he has broadened his views, and he understands better than Kawasaki Meijing, the benefits of airdrops for an armored force, the daily consumption of armored forces is huge, if there is no logistics, no matter how strong the armored force is, it is also a weak chicken, and even thousands of tons of materials can be airdropped, so what about tanks? Putting wings on tanks, like cat's claws, flickered in Zheng Shuming's heart, and even gave birth to his independent research on airborne tanks later, and achieved great results.

Zheng Shuming can only tell what he knows now, and Kawasaki Beauty, overall, the story is still unknown, but only a little bit, it can be regarded as a great amazement of Kawasaki Beauty, an armored force, has opened the eyes of Kawasaki Beauty, maybe this Air Force, is another world, before, the Air Force gave Kawasaki Beauty's impression is reconnaissance and reconnaissance, although the results of the reconnaissance have opened Kawasaki's eyes, but just like a battleship can not deal with land, your plane can run to the ground.

The biggest role of the aircraft is really the ground attack, after the air force, there is an air attack on the rear, asymmetric strike, in the past, outside the country, set up the line of defense, the two sides mingled, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, now, the air force and air attack has become a force for in-depth strikes, not only to strike at military targets, but also for civilian, war heritage, and even some paramilitary targets and reserve targets for sneak attacks, the latter is relative to the former, causing greater lethality and influence.

You can't ask the frog sitting in the well to realize that the starry sky above his head is infinite, and what he can see is only the sky above his head, and only by jumping out of the bottom of this well can he see the wider world.

Japan would not have thought that even in some respects, Japan is quite good, it knows at least one thing, such as the plane can be reconnoitred, the speed of the plane is very fast, the plane is the future direction of development, and other countries in the world do not realize at all that the era of the aircraft has come, and it is not the army but the air force that will decide the outcome of the battlefield in the future.

As a unique branch of the military that can fly in the sky, the Air Force has become the darling of the battlefield from the moment it was born, a airship that can only fly at a speed of sixty or seventy kilometers, and even a huge explosive bag itself, can only attack with precision, play a huge role in the sky, weapons on land, few threaten him, an aircraft that can fly more than 10,000 meters and a speed of more than 500 kilometers, his strategic role is even greater, especially China's constant upgrading, Aircraft, which have climbed the technological line to a certain height, have become the third important branch of the armed forces independent of the army and navy, and their weight in the army is also getting higher and higher.
