Chapter 1772: Great Harvest
Splitting the United States is, of course, the best result, but it is up to people to make things happen, and no one dares to guarantee that this plan will definitely succeed, and analysis is always analysis, just like before the War of Resistance Against Japan, and even in the first five years of the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan, no analyst believed that China could resist Japan, and the theory of China's demise lasted for a long, long time, but in the end, China still won the War of Resistance against Japan.

Cutting off the Pacific Railroad is a set goal, and as long as it is cut off, it will be a huge blow to the United States, not to mention the impact of Japan's gaining a foothold in the Americas, but the impact of cutting off the Pacific Railroad and making it impossible for the United States to connect the east and west will be very huge.
It has been more than 40 years since the construction of the Pacific Railroad was completed, if it was during the Civil War, the truncated part of the Pacific Railroad would have affected the transportation of troops in the region at most, but now, with the completion of the Pacific Railroad 50 years later, the Pacific Railroad has become more and more closely connected with the East and the West, and the industrial development has reached a certain extent, which is almost inevitable division of labor and cooperation, for example, Ford Motor, which was developed in the early 20th century, applied assembly line technology to the factory. But the demand for parts is extremely high, and there are at least a few hundred factories serving Ford, and at most Ford produces engines, and then assembles them into finished products from various parts.
Although most of the parts are produced in Detroit and Pittsburgh, some of the parts come from the West, and in a similar situation, in the United States, there are many, and a railroad directly reduces the mobilization capacity and industrial capacity of the United States by more than one percent, which has a huge impact on the United States as an industrial country.
It was precisely because of the importance that China kept an eye on the Sakura Plan, and before the radio wave arrived in Baotou, a large number of senior officers waited at the staff headquarters of the Baotou Special Administrative Region in China, and after confirming that they received the radio wave, more senior officers arrived, including Yan Xishan and Jiang Baili.
Across thousands of rivers and mountains, from the other side of the distant world, the message sent over, after a series of transfers, and then smoothly accepted in Baotou, at least 40 telegraph operators, in the translation of the message, quickly completed the translation, formed a text.
The armored generals headed by Yan Xishan, the staff department headed by Jiang Baili, and the high-level leaders of the military academy all attach great importance to such first-hand information, and the importance of some problems is not at all that can be discovered in the exercise, and the exercise is more carried out under the guidance of the director group, and what the director team knows are some conventional problems, which can be solved in training and exercises. It also highlights the importance of the Sakura Project, in such a secret attack, it is easiest to find problems, this opportunity is missed, I don't know when, I will be able to find similar problems.
A report of about 2,000 words, because after being sorted out, it is very simple, and it does not mention a lot of top-secret things, but for senior officers in the field of armor, you can see a lot of differences from the middle on these simple data and some intelligence from the front.
For example, the fuel consumption of long-distance travel, although there is a proportion of fuel consumption in daily life, these are also in the exercise, very routine, according to training, although Japan has not reached the level of China's elite armored division, it is about the same, but it is obvious that in the case of night marching, even in the case of the battlefield, the consumption of fuel should be more than usual, and even more than the fuel consumption of Japanese training.
Although this may be caused by Japan's nervousness, but no one dares to guarantee that in the real battle, the Chinese driver will not also be nervous, the exercise and the battlefield of real swords and guns, this is completely different things, although this loss is less than 15%, but for long-distance marching, the most important thing for armored forces is logistics, a little difference, it is easy to have problems, especially oil, the tank is a mobile arms, only when it moves, it has great power, once the tank is lying down, can not move, No matter how big his threat is, it is just an armored battery.
Just such a little gain is enough for the staff to record it as an important reference in future wars, record it, or avoid this matter in future training, it really can't be avoided, and it also needs to be set up in the future as basic data for designing tactics.
In addition to fuel and loss, there are also some things that China does not realize about the night march, such as light control, as well as the use of shimmers, secret marches and rapid marches, which are completely different, China will not necessarily march secretly in the future, it is not equipped with glimmer lights, and they are installed at the request of Japan.
Who is sure that in the future, China will not act secretly, this does not need to be used as a standard configuration, it is only used on the lamp, and the interface with a glimmer of light is ready, and these will not affect the configuration of the entire tank. In addition to the low-light interface, there is also the command of the night operation, all kinds of signal flags, itself under the premise of radio popularization, the use of signal flags, in China has been reduced to a minimum, in a specific area, signal flags are also the fastest way, a few simple signals, can guide the direction, far stronger than radio, this is what China ignored in the past, it seems that it must also be picked up.
To a certain extent, when passing through valleys or certain intersections at night, the signal flag is also stronger than that of walkie-talkies, because if walkie-talkies want to guide the march of tanks, they must be guided individually, and if they are one-to-many, they are prone to problems, and if they do not refer to a certain tank, it is easy for all tanks to turn.
But when passing through the valley, 4 parallel and 4 parallel cars, to accurately find each car, not only need enough brightness, but also need to quickly control the ability, but the signal flag is different, some places stop, some places go straight, according to a simple signal, you can guide the rapid passage of all tanks, in a narrow place, orderly passage can pass at the fastest speed, once there is a command disorder, the light will affect the speed of traffic, and the heavy will produce blockage.
In an area that is completely unfamiliar or even controlled by enemies, it is necessary to pass through any level quickly, which can be very dangerous if there is an unnecessary blockage. Take the Chinese tank as an example, it is very powerful, with a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour and a weight of 40 tons, like a samurai in heavy armor, but blocked in a narrow valley, he is just a tin can, and if he gets enough combustibles and explosives, it is enough to kill him.
The signal flag and part of the command, this is not difficult, for the co-pilot of the tank or other personnel, in daily training, only a little training, can be used in battle, but the effect is huge.
The generals and staff officers of the Chinese side are really powerful, and they quickly analyzed the deep-seated things from these reports, these subtle changes are not realized by China before, and once implemented, they can promote the security of future operations behind enemy lines, in a sense, what Japan did not see, and these staff officers have also noticed it, so as to prevent China from making the same mistake, this is enough to make China's armor stronger.
After reading the message, especially from the message, the results analyzed by the tank experts made these tank experts extremely excited, and the previous record was just a prepared situation, and they really saw these things, and even only the first day, they got a harvest from the middle, which is also what everyone did not expect, war, really depends on war, to be able to make up for some weak links, some things, just by virtue of exercises, with utopia, can never be gained.
Of course, with the strength of China, even if it encounters a problem, it will not hurt much, but there is obviously no problem, it can be solved in advance, why wait until the end, they are even more full of expectations for the next war, and even some young staff officers are even wondering if they can show more things when Japan is exposed.
5,000 tanks, perhaps in the no-man's land of Canada, can be hidden, once they enter the territory of the United States, densely populated, it is inevitable to be discovered, how long will they stay in Canada, the real test, will be in the United States.
After the analysis of the telegram was completed, the generals who were attracted by the telegram basically left, but Yan Xishan did not leave, he sat alone in the conference room, the mood at this moment is different, Japan is just a small country, in his opinion, it can be destroyed with a backhand, even the European steamroller Russia has been defeated, Japan has how much room for maneuvering, maybe in the Yuan Dynasty, Japan because of the protection of natural disasters, let him be under the iron horse of Meng Yuan, preserved, But for China, which has almost the largest navy in the world, it is really not enough.
At that time, Japan came over, suddenly changed its position, and when he joined China, he was against it, as a student studying in Japan, he was deeply aware of Japan's wolf ambitions, and he would be attached at this moment, but when, it would be backlashed, no one can say, Japan is too close to China, and once there is any problem in China, he will be the biggest hidden danger.
But the next change made him overwhelmed, Yang Yuanzhao accepted Japan and gave Japan such a high treatment, not only did he not blame the past, but also pushed Japan to go to Alaska, and handed over a piece of land so rich to them.
Through this war, in the Americas for almost a year, resisted the attack of millions of troops of the United States and Canada, so that the United States lost troops and lost the generals, but also came up with such a terrible plan, the Sakura Plan, this is simply a misunderstanding of thinking, if it were not for Yang Yuanzhao in the Chinese army, the popularization of asymmetric strikes, the popularization of combat behind enemy lines, they would not even understand, a lone army, knowing that the possibility of death is huge, but still put into it without hesitation, what is this concept, this kind of death as home, Taking death as glory, I'm afraid even Chinese can't.
With the strong support of China, regardless of the sacrifice of the Japanese, this matter actually became a thing, Yan Xishan has a good understanding of the Sakura Plan, after all, for Japan, this is top secret, but for China, the officers of the General Staff know that the reason for non-proliferation is not because of secrecy, but because there is no need for this.
Yan Xishan knows that among the cherry blossom plans, the most dangerous is the first few days, as long as the first few days are successfully passed, the probability of success of the cherry blossom plan is still quite high, and the United States at this moment is the weakest moment, their millions of troops are in Europe, and there are millions of troops in Alaska. It can be said that even if there is still the possibility of mobilization, that is, one or two million, the huge United States, more than 9 million square kilometers of land, it should be very difficult to fortify.
Not to mention, sent out is still a fast force, whether it is a tank, or an armored vehicle, is not an ordinary force can deal with, once these troops into the great plains of the United States, with the mobility and strength of the tank, a small group of infantry, as long as no more than 3 divisions of infantry, in the field, can be divided and surrounded by tanks, carry out a thorough strike, a little larger, the tank can be directly transferred, not to mention the speed of 45 kilometers, even if it is a speed of 25 kilometers, After a quick drive of more than 4 hours, the tank can distance itself from the opposing group, in which case the tank can attack selectively.
You must know that the Japanese side not only has the advantage of tanks, but also has the advantage of reconnaissance, logistics, and the supply of some aircraft, and they have sufficient ammunition and fuel every day. Japan is a small land, a little opportunity, it has such a strong combat effectiveness, which makes Yan Xishan vigilant, the current Japan has been castrated, because of the exchange, the current Japanese mainland, only 15 million people, the future will be reduced to less than 3 million, to some extent, as an old residence and the like, will not have industrial capacity and army, basically, Japan's power will be transferred to the Americas, more than a year of war, so that Japan has the confidence to gain a foothold in the Americas.
Although Japan's four islands are the ancestral land, but in the face of the modern war, the future has a promising future, Japan has been trying to get China, really if China gets it, they will still give up Japan, Japan's islands are just a barren land, can not bear the foundation of a developed country's take-off, with the territory of the mainland, will only put the four islands of Japan in a high position, but whether it is the economy or industry, will be based on the mainland, this is an inevitable law of the development of an industrial country, Without a land that is strong enough, it cannot become a powerful industrial country, and the historically successful Britain, if it does not have a vast number of colonies, simply Britain itself, cannot develop to the current level, and after losing most of the colonies, it also began to decline and become a second-rate country.
