Chapter 1706: The War Begins
It seems that it is only 5 days, but the best opportunity is missed, the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, especially the difference in strength, one or two battles, may not be able to play a decisive role, but under the accumulation of a lot, the final result, it must have changed, the United States missed the best opportunity to attack, 5 days, perhaps the difference between a brilliant victory and a slight victory, the advantage of the armored forces of the US army is too great, if it is fully played, A decent victory is a certainty.

However, Japan has obtained enough opportunities, from blocking the US troops for 7 days, to 2 days, even the most anxious Kawasaki scenery before, has become much more confident, 2 days, as long as the methods learned from the Chinese army to deal with tanks, use these US troops, delay for two days, or even two days, in the second night, all the personnel above can be withdrawn, and then the entire battle damage can be controlled to a certain extent, everything is controllable.
If at this time, the U.S. military attacked Japan on a large scale, it will definitely be effective, tank trenches and fixed positions, these are completely different things, fixed positions, in addition to digging trenches themselves, the front is as flat as possible, and even large artillery pits must be reduced, so as to reduce the enemy's hiding places and increase lethality, but tank trenches are another aspect. A trench that can be caught in a tank will become a necessary cover for the infantry's charge, and once you have taken refuge in it, the difficulty of killing them will increase geometrically, and the distance between the two is very different.
The area behind Kawasaki Beauty, which is an area that the U.S. military can't even see visually, the area where Kawasaki Maze is located happens to be a hill, and this hill just blocks the sight of the U.S. military, in this case, the U.S. military has no way to see what happens after this hill before it captures the mountain of Kawasaki Meijing, at least 1.3 million people, working non-stop, within 5 days, digging a large number of tank trenches, because of the large-scale excavation of tank trenches, but also destroying the integrity of the entire position, In some places, even the barbed wire fence has problems, and the tank trenches that are too dense will also affect the stability of the battle line.
The loud sound of the military horn, the loud in the position, the US army did not attack the Japanese camp for nearly 40 days, this time the attack finally began, 8,000 tanks and 400,000 US troops, combined into a neat phalanx, the infantry on the outside to protect the tank, on average around each tank, at least 50 infantry, they hid behind the tank, although it was said that there was no attack for the time being, but once the Japanese army adopted the way of standing up, it would definitely be killed by the infantry behind, although it was said that the tank was on top, there were dead ends, But the infantry that followed behind did not.
Kawasaki Meijing looked at the U.S. troops in front of the position, without any fear in his heart, 2 days, for the 4 divisions of the U.S. army, especially the division that has undergone quite rigorous training, it is not a problem, he is sure to resist the U.S. troops in 2 days.
On the other end, Delved didn't know that he had concentrated 8,400 tanks and nearly 500,000 elite infantry, in his opinion, not only the position in front of him, even if it was a position of at least 10 kilometers in the future, he could break through it like a bamboo, maybe today, he couldn't see Juno, but within 3 days, he would definitely capture Juno.
Juno, which used to be an inconspicuous place in the United States, has become the current focus of the United States, and this place, which is only the capital of Alaska, has become the key to the current US military strategy and must be taken.
8,000 engines, there was a huge roar, 8,400 steel monsters, making a huge sound, rushing towards the entire position, if there is no 5 days as a buffer, maybe the Japanese troops stationed on the defense line will panic, will not know what to do, but unfortunately, 5 days of time, gave the Japanese army too much preparation, they can easily deal with it, these look vicious, and even actually deal with it, it is not easy to deal with the iron lumps, it is really an iron lumps.
In 5 days, not only behind Kawasaki Meijing, but even Kawasaki Meijing's position is also equipped with a large number of anti-tank weapons, for the 120 mm mortar armor-piercing shells, has been equipped to Kawasaki Meijing's position, as well as a large number of cluster bombs and explosive packages, although at this time, the relatively rudimentary cluster grenades are just a collective detonation device that makes the grenades one more, but the lethality of the tank is greatly increased, and there are a batch of explosive packs, It is also specially strengthened for the role of the tank, and even, on his front line, the trenches have been dealt with to a certain extent, which has a unique effect on the tank.
The loud charge came, 8400 tanks came with a huge roar, and many tanks rushed towards the position at a speed of about 7 kilometers in the roar, the speed was not fast, but the follow-up infantry could be guarded in it, Kawasaki Meijing looked at the form in front of him, according to the previous strategy, to deal with these tanks, it may come back to cover with artillery fire, to a certain extent, it can have an effect on one-tenth, or even one-fifth of the tank, but they have a better way, it is better to put the tank closer.
The US artillery fire did not appear, perhaps because it was known that these artillery fires did not have much effect on the position, and the US military had already deeply known that the Japanese artillery fire was so strong that as long as the US artillery fire entered within 20 kilometers of the front line, it would be hit, and in this case, the US military would never waste artillery fire to such an extent.
In the past 40 days, the U.S. military has also understood some of the situation on the front line, and even on the defense line of Kawasaki Beauty, how many bunkers, machine guns, and even artillery fire are clear, and it is impossible to compress the artillery fire of Kawasaki Beauty, but the corresponding arrangement is still okay, the tank began to charge forward, and the follow-up infantry also lowered their bodies, reducing the possibility of being strafed by sniper rifles and machine guns as much as possible.
In Delved's view, although the defense of Kawasaki is relatively strong, it is not enough to resist the armored force of the US army, and his protection is more against conventional infantry, and even in a certain sense, the defense line of Kawasaki Meijing is not in Delved's plan, and today his plan is to raid 12 to 15 kilometers with the help of armored forces, and cut through the entire Japanese defense line, It is best to make a huge gap in the Japanese defense line, and if it can deal with the strategic firepower of the Japanese army, even if it can't be dealt with, it can also deal an unprecedented blow to the densely defended positions of the Japanese army.
When a large number of tanks with a roar crossed the layers of positions and pressed close to Japan's vital areas, Japan's strategic artillery fire did not exert its might, this is certain, the American tanks, even if the armor protection of each tank is not strong, but the combination of speed and armor will make Japan's strategic artillery fire unable to work.
The coverage area of Japan's strategic artillery fire is about 20 kilometers, but this coverage is static, which is very useful for Japanese artillery, but it is not of much use to the armored forces that can travel at a speed of 15 kilometers on the battlefield, 15 kilometers per hour at a speed of 250 meters in a minute, at the speed of strategic artillery fire, a distance of 20 kilometers, at least 40 seconds to 1 minute, even if it is advanced, it is impossible to cover the entire area, occupied by 8400 tanks, nor is it covered by strategic artillery fire.
This decisive battle, I am afraid that it is a conventional state, without a bazooka, a very classic infantry to tank tactics, and even in the history of later wars, can be recorded in the history of the battle, at present, both sides are not aware of this, Japan is well prepared, they have a lot of ways, can deal with the US tanks, the United States is the same, think that the power of the tank, is Japan can not resist, but also a big grinning forward, in the front of the distance of 3000 meters to 1000 meters, the US armored forces, There was no great obstruction, and they walked smoothly through the 2-kilometer area.
Such a war situation greatly increased Delved's confidence, and the actions of the Japanese did not make Delved feel that Japan was planning to put tanks in, because he knew that Japan did not have a rocket launcher, so Delved thought that Japan had no way.
In an area of about 600 meters, strategic artillery fire began to fire, Japan used almost all of the strategic artillery fire, not aimed at a single target, but only for the US armored phalanx to strike, unfortunately, there was not much effect, at least 1000 artillery pieces participated in this strike, but in the case of armored forces with a speed of about 20 kilometers to evade, only a part of the infantry results were obtained, from 1000 meters to 200 meters in the distance, For a tank traveling at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, it is only a little more than 3 minutes, but for strategic artillery fire, it may only shoot 10 shells, but unfortunately, the final hit is less than one thousandth.
According to the statistics of later war history, in this area, no more than 100 shells were finally hit by Japanese artillery fire on US tanks, but among these 100 rounds, except for about 10 rounds, which hit the vital point, 10 tanks directly withdrew from the war, and the rest were only wounded, which did not affect the overall situation.
In the conventional artillery fire for the tank war, especially in the large-scale war, the first ended in the decline of conventional weapons, the tank with the roar of iron armor, rushed to the range of 200 meters, at this moment, Delved's heart is full of worry, even if it is more temptation before, even if it is countless fire reconnaissance, but Delved's heart, there is still no bottom, after all, there is no Japanese bazooka, China's rise, completely under the premise that Western countries are not conscious, from another sense, It is that the West is not prepared that China has hidden a lot of things.
Whether these things will be applied to the Japanese, this Delved has no way to judge, the power of the rocket launcher for the tank, Delved knows, and in such an indiscriminate authority assault, as long as Japan has 30,000 bazookas, it can have a huge blow to Delved's armored strength, which Delved does not want to see, and has been looking forward to the impossible.
200 meters, 150 meters, it seems that the clock has slowed down at this moment, what Delved has been worried about, did not appear, the tank smoothly appeared in the area of 150 meters, 100 meters, and even 50 meters, in the area of 150 meters, the machine gun in the bunker sounded, but unfortunately the machine gun did not have much impact on the dense tank position, at most swept a few unlucky infantry, did not hide within the protective range of the tank, as for the armored force, did not have much impact.
In Delved's view, Japan is a trapped beast, they did not realize that in the course of the development of science and technology, backwardness will be beaten, they do not have an effective weapon to deal with tanks, especially now, many infantry follow the tank to rush to the Japanese defense line, even if the Japanese army wants to desperately, with suicidal attacks, the kind of approach of the team, the follow-up infantry will give them enough blows, the tank has a dead end, but the infantry does not, maybe every infantry is not a sharpshooter, 50 infantry is enough to deal with most of the rushing forward team, even if they commit suicide, at most they threaten one or two infantry, and have no effect on the tank phalanx, in De Velde's opinion, as long as the tank phalanx rushes within 100 meters and there is no big loss, then there will be no problem with the victory of this battle.
Just when Delved was full of anticipation, the Japanese position was still silent, and there was not much movement, in fact, Kawasaki Meijing was fully prepared, on the front line position, there were 2 brigades of Japanese troops, and all of them were in an absolute state of protection, in their hands, at least one anti-tank grenade, or explosives pack, in front of them, there were at least 500 anti-tank trenches, as long as these American tanks fell into the anti-tank trenches, they would immediately go out, Deliver a devastating blow to the American tanks trapped in the trenches.
The situation on the battlefield is scorched to this moment, a distance of 100 meters, for a tank, it may only take a few seconds to walk, especially a tank with a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, just when A thought that he was about to occupy the forward position of this Juno, a change suddenly occurred.
