Chapter 1805 "Chen Cang" set sail
After attacking Ogden, Japan's Sakura plan actually succeeded, destroying the railway station in Ogden, destroying more than 20 kilometers of railway lines, and the Pacific Railroad was actually cut off, and even if construction began on the spot, it would take at least a month or two.

Some people will say, why the destruction of hundreds of kilometers of railway, it also takes two or three months, dozens of kilometers of railway is also like this, in fact, the destruction of the railway, as long as it is not a little bit of damage, more than a few kilometers, plus there are railway bridges and stations such as the premise of damage to the premise, it is not a simple problem to repair, as for hundreds of kilometers but not much, the reason is very simple, that is, the sub-bid section, if the United States really wants to repair a railway, As long as huge manpower and material resources are invested, it is completely feasible.
As long as the Pacific Railroad is cut off, even if it is only for a month or two, it is enough to have a huge impact on the United States, and the most important thing is that as long as the United States determines that the northern section of the railway on Ogden's side is cut off, in addition to continuing to send troops to eliminate such a tank force that has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the United States, they will not send trains to Salt Lake City, so that the Pacific Railroad from Salt Lake City to the West Coast will inevitably be thinned, and this is the basis for the realization of the Chen Cang Plan.
China has been waiting for this result since the Kawasaki Scenic Department entered the United States, especially after breaking through the Missouri River, it is only a matter of time before the Pacific Railroad is breached, but the time is not determined, so on this day, all the soldiers who stayed in the barracks are preparing for war, and even after nightfall, they directly rest in advance and wait for the signal to attack.
The time when Japan captured Ogden and cut off the Pacific Railway was about 12:30 in the morning, and the radio waves returned to Sakura Airport, and reported to the Chinese side for the first time, the Chen Cang plan has been prepared for a long time, and the node of this plan was when the Pacific Railway was cut off, and now, after this railway was really cut off, only need to notify Baotou to report, and then you can set off on your own, unless there is any force majeure, or some huge change, Only then will the General Staff terminate such a plan.
It has been waiting for a long time, and has also made a long time of adaptation training for this plan, and now it is finally time to realize it, and several commanders are also excited, in the next few years, it is almost impossible for China to engage in a large-scale conflict with the United States on the ground army, and this operation may be the only one outside of naval and air operations.
Red lights were shining in the camp, and special sirens were also heard from the Sakura Airport, not only all the special combat personnel who participated in the Chen Cang Plan, but even the army divisions responsible for the security around the Sakura Airport also began to do comprehensive vigilance work.
The Marine Division guarding the airport is itself a fast reaction force, but they are still a little worse than the special forces, the special forces are the fast reaction forces among the fast reaction forces, even if they hear the alarm sound while sleeping, they will jump up as soon as possible, no matter what order they give, in short, they will gather in the playground as soon as they hear the bell of the immediate assembly.
Guns, basic ammunition, and all kinds of information, special combat personnel have undergone quite strict training, and their weight-bearing capacity is at least 10 kilograms higher than that of ordinary army, but even in the cross-country performance under such a weight-bearing capacity, special combat personnel are above many armies, they are the king of soldiers in a thousand, and their innate quality is above the army.
Responsible for commanding this operation, and personally participated, is the captain of the special operations brigade Zhou Juyang, he is a special operations officer equivalent to the division commander, once participated in the 1911 Mongolian War, also participated in the Shandong war against Japan, is in the midst of a war, out of the special operations commander, the Sakura team currently has 680 people, although the rest of the personnel are not announced, but after the signal of the action is made, it means that the operation has begun, they are all left, they will also be organized into 4 squadrons, Each squadron has about 170 men to carry out this unprecedented mission.
This is the largest operation since 1917, in which the entire Chinese special forces participated, completely destroying the US Pacific Railroad, not even giving them the last chance, at least, there will be no similar Panama Canal, which may be repaired in a year or two, basically destroying this section, and it is impossible for them to rebuild the Pacific Railroad in this section.
The goal of the Chen Cang plan is very simple, the special forces need to drop explosives in the entire Rocky Mountains, in a range of more than 500 kilometers in a distance of more than 500 kilometers, and kill more than 200 targets, these targets, the small ones may only have one or two bridges, and the most may stretch more than 1 kilometer, or even a few kilometers of tunnels, and even some roads around the mountains, and areas such as herringbone folding, are also in the goal of the entire plan.
The intensity of the task and the overall scale of the job are high, it can be said that they are unique in the entire mileage of China's special warfare, and as long as this battle is completed, even if they cannot become famous in the world, it will definitely be an excellent example within the special forces, and to a certain extent, it will be a huge encouragement to them.
The captain didn't say anything, just announced that everyone stayed, although because of discipline, there was no cheering at the scene, but in the excited faces, Zhou Juyang was still comforted, the division-level special operations brigade is generally composed of 2,000 special combat personnel, but only 1,200 people came to Alaska, and after several rounds of elimination and screening, there were 680 people left, and the others were not strong enough, and even eliminated in the last round, there were several top soldiers, It's a pity that they didn't meet the requirements this time.
In this operation, the battle is always put in the second place, even if China has carpeted, the depths of the Rocky Mountains, have been surveyed, and a lot of preparations have been made in advance, 500 kilometers in length, covering a huge area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, in a short period of time, to complete more than 200 different goals, completely destroy this piece of the Pacific Railway, what is needed is still to carry.
For every extra ton of explosives put in, the effect on destruction will be better, and even in some areas, after determining that the surrounding people and strongholds have been cleared, they will try to use radiolocation to carry out guided projection.
It's just that that's just a branch of the plan, so in the selection, the first thing is not combat effectiveness, but physical strength and strength, even if the combat effectiveness is strong, in the selection, it is impossible to be left to the end.
In fact, most of these people who were left behind were powerful, with a height of more than 190 abounding, and even the highest record, even carrying a weight of 120 kilograms, on a 5-kilometer rapid march.
In the Rocky Mountains, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of area, it is certainly impossible to use all manpower, the airdrop will ensure that the distance is as economical as possible, but some fine-tuning, it takes time, what they need to do is to tie the buttons on both sides, so that they can move freely within the Rocky Mountains, as long as they are given 8 to 10 days, according to the plan, this railway across the east and west of the United States, through the Rocky Mountains, the largest mountain range in North America, will be completely cut off.
In 10 minutes, 680 special operators completed the carrying of all the weapons, and rushed to the airport one by one, they only had to carry their weapons and supplies, and the rest had already begun to be loaded. In the airfield, 50 strategic transport planes are being prepared, auxiliary materials and other things, long before the emergency assembly, loaded, 50 transport planes, of which 30 are to transport their personnel and basic weapons, and the remaining 20 will transport 600 tons of explosives, which is the first batch of needs.
According to conservative estimates, 200 targets, including nearly 30 tunnels, the length of the tunnels alone is more than 70 kilometers, and to make these tunnels completely destroyed, or even impossible to repair, the tunnels themselves alone require more than 280 tons of explosives, an average of more than 4 tons per kilometer, not to mention a larger number of other targets, 600 tons of explosives, just the needs of the first stage, and more than 4,000 tons of explosives will be airdropped into the Rocky Mountains in the future.
Explosives, which was originally invented to open roads and build bridges, but showed his role in the war, enough explosives can almost blow up the mountain, as for the tunnel, in the mountains, ordinary air raids and shelling, can not affect him, under certain circumstances, the tunnel can even be used as an air-raid shelter like the existence, in the Peninsula War, the United States occupies the air superiority, in order to ensure the logistics line, the volunteers have dug a lot of caves, once they encounter air raids, they will find caves nearby to hide, That is also a way to do it under the premise of insufficient air power.
It's a pity that these tunnels, there is always an upper limit on the strength, the internal design is enough to blow up the point, destroy some of the support of the tunnel, under the weight of the loose rocks and heavy mountains, the tunnel can not be supported at all, especially the broken support, so that the mountain stones above are pressed down, but it is different from the burial of ordinary gravel and debris, as long as there is such a situation at one point, the repair rate of this tunnel is basically equal to zero, with the level of science and technology in the 21st century, it is impossible to hold up the mountain, let alone the beginning of the 20th century, It is conservatively estimated that at least 4 tons will be used in a one-kilometer tunnel, and more than 10 tons of explosives will even be concentrated at key sites, completely destroying the Pacific Railway, which has placed countless spirits in the United States.
