Chapter 1684: The Camp on the Bomb
The United States has a really good learning ability, went to Europe to participate in the war, paid millions of casualties, and also trained a group of officers and soldiers with rich battlefield experience, this time, in Juneau against the Japanese army, it was slightly lax, and suffered a big loss in the early stage, but the loss of 100,000 people, the United States can still afford it, at least nearly 60,000 of them are Canadian, and the loss of the United States is only 40,000.

On the battlefield, facing the strong position built by the enemy, and even without knowing what else is in the position, withdrawing from the battlefield is the most correct choice, and the United States did not flee directly during the day, but insisted on it until the evening, and retreated in an orderly manner under the night, and even retained a considerable number of troops in the position of the original camp to prevent the Japanese army from pursuing in the dark night. Such a move is already the limit of the regular army's operations, and what the United States has not guarded against is precisely the tactic that it has not seen at all, special operations.
This is also the sorrow of the United States, the United States has not been attacked by special forces, no matter how strong his learning ability is, he is facing an attack that he has never encountered, maybe he has only heard of it, but on the battlefield in Europe, countless new things, even the test of blood and fire every day, there are too many things about military affairs that can be learned by Americans, and some things that he occasionally hears and have not yet been confirmed, how can they attract the attention of Americans.
After all, when the United States went to the battlefield, Bordeaux's defense line was already a dog-tooth staggered, absolute positional warfare, the two sides were separated by the nearest place, less than 30,000 kilometers, and the farthest place was less than 7 kilometers.
In a sense, on this frontal battlefield, there is no living space for special forces, the narrow distance, the firepower is arranged tightly enough, both sides are frantically building trenches, outside the trenches, where both sides can reach, it is very dangerous, once there is any wind and grass, any wind and grass, it will attract countless machine guns and artillery, and even more than 300 mm strategic artillery will come over.
With the characteristics of special forces, in the dark night, infiltrating at night is his forte, but on the battlefield of Bordeaux, sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks have been late to the extreme by the Entente and the Central Powers, even at night, both sides will shoot flares at intervals to illuminate the surroundings, this time interval is quite short, almost a person running with all his strength, in this case, there is no chance of a special forces sneak attack, and even when passing, because of luck, the past several, The impact on the entire line of defense is also minimal.
After all, this is the line of defense of steel defense, each area has a fixed position, even if these soldiers are one or two, not the opponent of the special forces, or even touched in by the special forces, they will be easily killed, but as long as they do it, there will be traces, and they will always be discovered, which is different from the rear city or military station, this is a heavily guarded, ready for war battlefield, once the special forces are discovered, even if it is one or two hundred in the past, or even hundreds, in the face of tens of thousands armed to the teeth, equipped with all kinds of weapons, With well-trained soldiers, it is also difficult for these special forces to escape.
In this case, there is no difference between special forces and ordinary soldiers, and even in a sense, special forces are not as good as ordinary soldiers. Even if it is a simple special forces, the cost of his training is more than ten times that of ordinary soldiers, on the battlefield of Bordeaux, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers died, as long as the combat purpose is achieved, the commander is not distressed at all, but carefully cultivated, from all kinds of elite soldiers among the best special forces, with Germany's million army, the current special forces have only risen to the division level, that is, more than 20,000 people, of which the elite, that is, three or four thousand, really hundreds of elites died, Not to mention the former commander, even the War Department will feel distressed.
According to the guidance of the Chinese side, as well as the experience that Germany has explored on its own, the battlefield of special forces should be behind enemy lines, in places with sufficient combat depth, complex environments, and even large populations, not on the battlefield where steel and steel collide.
Of course, this is also the relationship that Germany has not learned, although Germany has been taught the tactics of special forces by China, but it is only rudimentary, just like airships, there is no use of advanced aircraft, special forces are not unable to be used on the battlefield, mainly depending on the effect, the decapitation tactics of special forces have always been a hot topic in the field of special warfare in later generations, how to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, in the era of cold weapons, it is the only way to win quickly, even in the era of thermal weapons, Dismantling the command system of a unit is also enough to disintegrate most of the combat effectiveness of that unit.
No matter how well-trained the troops are, without the command of their superiors, they can only play the role of small groups under the premise of being chaotic, which can easily be broken by the opponents individually. Under this premise, in the First World War so far, the German use is to carry out a sneak attack on the Listener program, which destroyed most of the candidates for the Listener program in one fell swoop, and dealt a huge blow to the British Listener program, but later, after the advent of sonar, it finally proved that the operation was only a few months advantage.
In this case, what the US military learned on the European battlefield was nothing more than trench warfare between the large armies, and they did not realize what kind of tactics the special forces were, but now, the Japanese are ready to use this method, which the United States did not expect at all, and because of this kind of unthinking, it suffered a big loss in the next war.
The United States retreated 20 kilometers towards the front line of withdrawal from Alaska, on the one hand, waiting for the follow-up troops, on the other hand, setting up camp, they did not expect that their location, in fact, was deliberately left by Japan, and even around, a brigade of Japanese troops was arranged, this brigade is the kind that Japan has trained in martial arts or swordsmanship from the army in accordance with the concept of China's special forces, and has specially conducted field training, and they are training in the fields of Alaska in the cold winter, and Japan's cruelty is undoubtedly displayedThe mortality rate of this specially trained special forces is as high as 15%, and the disability rate has also reached 17%.
The two combined, even if they did not go to the battlefield, the non-combat attrition reached more than 30%, you know, this is not an ordinary soldier, this is carefully selected from a million soldiers, the physique, or a skill, but in order to achieve the task, the Japanese are extremely strict.
Perhaps, this is also related to the military tradition of the Japanese, it is this spirit, under the premise that the weapons and equipment and even the basic concept are not complete, the Japanese actually made a very terrible special forces. At this time, even if there were more than 1,300 Japanese soldiers lurking in the snow, the Americans still did not find out, and they hurriedly retreated to a place more suitable for setting up a camp.
In fact, with the help of China, Japan has taken countless high-definition photos in this area, almost all the important locations in this area, have been shrouded in it, in a sense, holographic maps are not exaggerated, it is this understanding, the places where large camps can be established, basically, have been mastered by the Japanese, and before the arrival of the US military, Japan has done tricks and feet to these places, and sent special forces to observe.
Sure enough, the U.S. military chose one of them, not only because the Japanese army had arranged it in advance, but also because it was the one with the most hands and feet. At this point, we can see Japan's ruthlessness, in the 17 places where it is possible to set up camp, at least 2 tons of explosives have been planted, which is also the result of relying on China, otherwise, with Japan's weak military production capacity, it is almost impossible for them to arrange so many explosives.
The most unfortunate thing for the US military is that this place, after the analysis of the staff teams of China and Japan, is the place where the US troops are most likely to appear, not only has twice the amount of explosives in other places been arranged, reaching 4 tons, but also the distribution of explosives is quite balanced, and once detonated, it is enough to blow up this camp into the sky.
The U.S. military has begun to set up camp, the well-trained U.S. troops, but unlike the Canadian army, they began to dig strong positions in accordance with the operating procedures, it was dark night, fortunately, it was not too cold when it was about to enter the summer, they had to dig deep enough trenches to be able to place wood, build a relatively strong barracks, God knows, the Japanese will not fight.
Watching the U.S. military begin to dig, the Japanese did not have any eastward walk, at that time, in order to avoid discovery, 4 tons of things, at least buried under 3 meters deep, because there are too many, it will be very difficult to detonate with a lead, maybe some of them can not explode, Japan does not have China's awareness of explosions, and there is no telex and electronic detonator, so it is necessary to use artillery, attack several of the weak links, blow up the gap, and then ignite the detonator, and finally explode the explosives, reasonable arrangement, will make the explosion powerful enough.
Leakage sneak attack, this is exactly the role of the special forces, they carried large-caliber mortars, at least 150, it can be regarded as an attack on the US camp, even now, the US army is building a camp, but this camp is only strong, can dig to a depth of 2 meters, which is already good, 3 meters deep, it is almost impossible, a person down, jump, may not be able to reach the upper edge of the trench, in this case, this trench is not for combat use, but a cage.
They were very confident in what they had buried, Japan waited patiently, the time was not yet yet, these American troops, after a day of fighting, were already quite tired, in the case of hunger and cold and the threat of the battlefield, they burst out with unimaginable will, even if they attacked at this time, the effect would not be very high, unless it ignited those weak links.
But for the sake of safety, even the weak place is arranged below 2.5 meters, and the top may not be so strong, and under the attack of artillery, it is easy to break through, but this takes time, once the US military reacts quickly, if it is not panicked, Japan may not be able to ignite these explosives, according to the previous calculations and calculations, if you want to detonate this camp, it will take at least 5 minutes.
They can only wait, people must conform to objective laws, will cannot replace anything, when their camp is excavated and set up, it is the time for this group of American troops to rest, that is the best time.
From the time of nightfall, more than seven o'clock, the U.S. troops withdrew one after another, about 6 hours, arrived here at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and began to set up camp, 200,000 people spent 3 hours, and finally under the fatigue, built such a fixed camp, completely in accordance with the requirements of the conduct manual to build, from top to bottom are very perfect, this time, the U.S. troops who have long been exhausted, began to fall asleep, when the huge camp was shrouded in darkness, the Japanese army outside still did not move, it was only four o'clock in the morning, An hour later, when the darkest hours before dawn were the time for them to really get their hands dirty.
A brigade, close to 1,500 special forces, they have been lurking in the field for more than 17 hours, from before the retreat of the US army, has been lurking here, for a long time without eating, drinking or moving, it is a great test of willpower, which is also the fundamental reason why the US military loses vigilance, in enough patience, the US camp, the brightness of the lights has not changed much, and even seems to be a little brighter, but the sound in the camp seems to have dropped a lot, obviously, The vast majority of the U.S. troops have already entered the state of the water, and the morning star in front of them has risen high, and without looking at the watch, they already know that the time for the attack has come.
At present, there are almost 10 divisions stationed in this camp, close to 200,000 people, 4 tons of explosives, which seems to be very large, but it is not enough to cover the entire area, stationed in this area, sitting in the core area of explosives, there are only 4 divisions, if the explosives are ignited alone, the results will be 4 divisions and 100,000 people, the commander of the Japanese special forces of this Dazuo, is very greedy, he hopes for more, so, in the dark of night, the determined tactics, with 150 120 mm mortars, as the basis, The U.S. military camp was attacked, and with a blocker, the gate was sealed to prevent the U.S. troops from running around, and they were guided to the core, striving to achieve the greatest results in a short period of time, once the personnel who entered the core area were enough, he would decisively detonate the explosives, let 40,000 tons of explosives, completely blow up this core area, and kill the vast majority of the U.S. troops.
