Chapter 1736: Plan ahead
After all, it was only 1,200 tanks at the beginning, and no more than 1,500 at most, but now it has reached a strength of nearly 5,000 vehicles, and it is also thanks to China's advance planning, which did not send more than 1,000 sets of power units as required, but 5,000 sets, in order to give more tanks to Japan's armored divisions in the case of more tanks captured by Japan.

Since a plan has been made to let Japan repair the plank road, the greater the strength of this plank road, the greater the cover for the darkness of the warehouse, in this case, 5000 sets were prepared in advance, but no one thought that the final result would be like this, 5000 sets were all used, and even not enough, and finally 500 sets were urgently transported by air for the power of the backup and final armored vehicles.
As long as you can set off before September, even if you cross a huge distance of 5,000 kilometers, at the speed of a Chinese modified tank, you can travel 8 to 10 hours a day, that is, 350 kilometers, in this way, at most 15 days, you can go deep into the hinterland of the United States, in this way, in mid-August and the expected November, a little worse, the cherry blossom plan itself is ready to be dispatched in November, with the help of the winter time, the United States will be turned upside down, as long as it can be before the arrival of spring, The completely destroyed Pacific Railroad prevented the United States from taking advantage of the winter break to repair the railroad, which bought them time.
But now, Japan also has to revise the Sakura Plan, the reason is very simple, the front line has been unbearable, the United States' pervasive attack, so that Japan's pressure is very great, the Juno Line is rapidly shrinking, not only the United States attacked those lines, some of the lines of defense that have been cut off, and there is still a certain amount of support for the defense line, have to be retreated, there are many such examples, which makes the strong Juno Outer Defense Line shrink a lot, in this case, Japan cannot wait until winter to open the Sakura Plan.
Besides, it must be good to start the cherry blossom plan in winter, not to mention that there will be bad weather such as a snowstorm in winter, and in summer through Canada, to avoid a series of problems in winter, so it is good, a much more powerful armored fleet than previously expected, what kind of destructive power it will cause, as long as China really promises to give enough logistics and supplies, this batch of at least 5,000 armored forces, it is really possible to fight in the hinterland of the United States, and it really lasts until winter. It's not impossible.
Compared with the tanks that have been finalized, those iron shells with power systems, what Chinese engineers simply call armored vehicles, according to China, are an important addition to the entire tank fleet, 1000 armored vehicles, each with about 15 cubic meters of space, American tanks, very high, The distance from the ground is at least 2.3 meters, so that aside the chassis and tracks, the interior of the tank is at least 1.5 meters, plus the 3 meters wide and 4 meters long tank body, so that there is at least 15 cubic meters of space inside.
This part of the armored vehicles, mainly loaded with logistical materials, follow the movement of the tank corps, can not be a wheeled motor vehicle such as a car, the reason is very simple, the armored division is into the hinterland of the United States, it is conceivable that it will encounter huge resistance, wheeled vehicles have limited protection capabilities, and are easily hit.
Although China promised to use aircraft to support logistics, they must carry part of the logistics, such as three meals a day and some spare parts for maintenance, there must be no problems, and without spare parts, they should give up a tank, which is unthinkable for Japan.
Moreover, according to the Chinese side, this part of the armored vehicle can carry part of the infantry in addition to part of the logistics force. This is a new formulation, perhaps in positional warfare, the infantry can follow the footsteps of the tanks and contribute to the attack of the battle line, but when running from a distance, the infantry cannot catch up with the footsteps of the tanks.
Japan is also quite familiar with tanks, in the tank without infantry protection, there are many flaws, can only rely on the cluster advantage to offset his disadvantage, according to the 15 cubic space of an armored car, can barely fit 12 people, aside from some logistics supplies, 500 tanks, 6000 people, should be a good number, almost a small brigade, but in the end, in the choice of infantry, is the special forces.
With the help of armored forces, special forces can move quickly and transfer in a wide range, and the role that special forces can play in a specific environment is absolutely beyond the ability of armored forces.
This is a very innovative method, Japan formed a special forces, but in the fierce war on the front line, it has been lost, only a part of the seeds and training semi-finished products are left, but for this plan, Kawasaki Meijing specially found high-level personnel, in the semi-finished products and some selected into the armored division, among the personnel with relatively high tactical literacy, enough personnel were selected, specifically for training, mainly sniping and field lurking.
As the first to contact the U.S. military and the first to use the special forces, in the first battle with the U.S. military, the special forces established enough feats to detonate the explosives located above the camp, and directly killed seven or eight divisions of the U.S. troops. If we say that among Japan's several front-line commanders, the most familiar with special operations and the best at using special operations, I am afraid that the beautiful scenery of Kawasaki can be counted.
Kawasaki Meijing didn't realize the role of the combination of special forces and tanks at first, but after thinking about it carefully, isn't it because of the ability to communicate and move that the combat range of special forces cannot be expanded? With armored vehicles, the range of communication has not been expanded, but the ability to move has been improved, and in the range of tanks, communication can be done better, and compared with tank attacks, the penetration and sneak attack of special forces seem to be more suitable for operations in the United States.
For example, when the United States discovered an armored division and was preparing to besiege it with heavy troops, the special forces penetrated through the opponent's defense line and attacked the weak links in the opponent's rear, artillery positions, and even logistical supplies, which was impossible for the armored forces to do.
Armor is a powerful attack weapon, but the target is also a weakness of his, he can only break through the opponent's defense head-on, not a roundabout infiltration, and even a sneak attack can only be a large-scale detour, through the blind spot of the opponent's thinking, instead of shuttle infiltration.
The more I think about it, the more excited I become, Kawasaki Meijing knows that this is a combination of one plus one is greater than two, and there is really no way to know how much such a force can play, but it is conceivable that as long as the United States is defenseless, let such a powerful armored force enter the hinterland of the United States, it will definitely surprise the United States, maybe if you are lucky, on the premise of not alarming the United States, you will directly rush to the front of the Pacific Railroad and destroy the lifeline of the United States to support the battle.
The purpose of the most primitive armored car is so fixed, even the legendary beauty that is most important to the armored power has not put much energy into this ugly iron box, that is, the armored command vehicle satisfies him, and the rest is just a means of transportation.
In fact, China's research on armored vehicles, in fact, is more on the tank, there are fewer types of tanks, a heavy and a medium, there used to be light, but with the flowering of armored vehicles on all sides, armored vehicles of various types and uses, gradually replaced the role of light tanks, under the premise that anti-aircraft machine guns and some high-powered machine guns are mounted on armored vehicles, light tank 37 artillery and 40 artillery, the role played is extremely small, in terms of use and efficiency, he is far inferior to armored vehicles, and it is natural to be eliminated.
Kawasaki beauty in the modification factory has been more than half a month, with the modification gradually into the right track, all kinds of coordination work is not so important, to a certain extent, he is not there, there is not much difference, the Chinese engineer has changed from the hand-in-hand modification, into a command, the modification work, has been taken over by the Japanese project, the Chinese engineer only uses the final check, to see the effect of the modification.
After the initial slow speed, the speed of modification is gradually improving, in the past half a month, a total of more than 1,200 vehicles have been completed, a division based on modification, has been basically completed, now, is in the intense training and joint training, next, into the United States World War, is the most cruel, not to mention 5,000 armored vehicles, even if it is 50,000 armored forces, into the huge United States, it is like a handful of sand sprinkled on a beach, there is no big wave at all, In this case, being able to train a little more is also a huge improvement for the Sakura Project.
According to the calculation of the number of remaining tanks and the speed of modification, it will take at least 20 days to complete the modification of all tanks, and with the temporary preparation work and some necessary scenes, it will only be 30 days at most from his departure, although the results of the daily training will be formed by the underground division commander and summarized to him, but he did not see it with his own eyes, and he was still not at ease, staring at the modification production line on the last day, and seeing at least 160 new tanks after completing the final modification, Kawasaki Meijing eventually left, and he had to prepare for the United States.
