Chapter 1717: The Dismissed Commander

Fortunately, 6,500 of them escaped, but the US Army could see that at least 1,500 were in poor condition, and some even the turrets were hugely damaged, and even billowing smoke, which looked very miserable at first glance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, after the U.S. tank returned to the camp, the well-trained maintenance personnel have rushed forward, and the crew of the tank also helped to repair it, after all, they are the drivers, and they know the most about the situation of the tank, and with their joint efforts, most of the tanks were saved, but there were 4,500 of them that night, accounting for almost two-thirds of the tank overview.

Such an amount was unacceptable to Delved and the U.S. military, and all the maintenance personnel were busy all night, and the spare parts that had been stored in the past, and the intact parts of some damaged tanks, all of which were used, could not make so many tanks lose their combat effectiveness, even with the efforts of logistics and maintenance personnel, 1,500 vehicles were lost forever.

From the arrival of 8,000 vehicles, the highest increased to nearly 8,500 vehicles, two battles, the loss of more than 3,500 vehicles, such a heavy loss, not to mention Delved did not expect, even the Japanese did not expect that the tanks caught in the trap became a target, of course, the United States could not let these tanks be captured by the Japanese, because before, the ratio of Japanese prisoners was too high, more than 400 tanks, the prisoners were close to 300, if among the thousand, there are seven or eight hundred, If the Japanese were captured, the impact on the United States would be great. Tanks are the army's superweapons, and each tank is worth a lot of money, tens of thousands of dollars, almost equivalent to a tank of a small gunboat, thousands, what is this concept.

Instead of taking the position, it was a loss of troops, Delved already knew his fate, two tank trenches, trapped a large number of tanks, although he tried his best to ensure that most of the tanks were not lost, but this is useless, failure is failure, what he can do is not let the Japanese get those tanks.

It's just that the artillery attack tank was not successful in the end, in the nearly more than an hour of confrontation, the US artillery fire was at an absolute disadvantage, although before the artillery battle, sufficient preparations were made for the artillery reinforcement, but the artillery fire in the open air, no matter how it was reinforced, his defensive power was not high, perhaps in the early stage, he could still have a move or two with the Japanese artillery fire, and there was a mutual attack and defense, but with the continuation of the war, especially the Japanese long-range artillery fire, when the US army could be attacked without any scruples, The defense was gradually weakened, and the casualties of American artillery began to increase, and in the later period, with the increase in artillery casualties, the United States could no longer hold on to such a scale of shelling.

Especially under the premise that the armored forces in Delved have returned in vain and suffered huge losses, it is certainly impossible for the army to devote its only strength to such a seemingly meaningless thing.

After arguing for most of the afternoon, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Delved left the camp with a slight dejection, he also knew that his fate in the future was predestined, this trip to Juno, not only did not achieve due merit, but two consecutive failures, buried a great prospect, at least, in 10 years, if there is no accident, he will not be able to go further, his current position, can not be kept, can stay in the army, and do not let the military rank have a large-scale regression, It's already his own qualifications and the help of his family, and there is nothing else he can do.

Delved still spent a night to write the last debriefing report clearly, the tank trench is not omnipotent, the seemingly simple tank trench may have a huge effect on the current tank, but in the future, with the development of the tank, especially what he expected, when the tank has artillery on the premise, just the tank's artillery is enough to destroy the tank trench.

Many years later, when the armored force became the most powerful force in the army under the impetus of China, the U.S. military only realized Delved's insights through the accidental discovery of a junior officer who had just interned, and Delved had foreseen all this many years ago.

History cannot be turned back, Delved at this moment, has been ancient for many years, and the United States has also been misguided by China, walking on the wrong path for at least 10 years, missing the opportunity for main battle tanks, and even more missed the opportunity for airplanes and helicopters.

In a sense, even if Yang Yuanzhao does not carry an all-in-one machine, just by virtue of his understanding of history and science and technology, especially in the field of power, it is enough to change the fate of China.

Between World War I and World War II, and even throughout the 20th century, power is a mainstream topic, ships, aircraft, automobiles, which represent the three major forces of the sea, land and air, all of which are closely related to power, weapons have not yet developed to ignore power, but with the role of missiles, etc., before breaking the absolute difference between the size of ships, a certain increase in power is enough to change the role of the entire weapon, the navy, the army, and the air force.

The leadership of power, so that China can easily reach the level of weapons during World War II, although it is not the whole system of transcendence, but the super power, enough to make everything can be realized, just like around 2000, the power of the main battle tank is in 1200 horsepower to 1500 horsepower, their gap is not big, between the strongest and the weakest, only a slight difference in indicators, but when one side suddenly made a breakthrough, obtained 2800 horsepower, or even 3800 horsepower engine, how it will be.

Since the beginning of World War II, the United States has never been the strongest in the world in terms of design, for example, the famous F35, F117, their aerodynamics and even the overall design, is not optimal, there are many things that can be changed, but the United States has relied on super power, and has piled up the second-rate design to a first-class level, and most of the time, Chinese and Russian designers can only look at the power of the Americans, but there is no way, only in the weaker power, even worse than half the thrust-to-weight ratio, trying to achieve the targets that the United States has already achieved.

China is also on this road, Yang Yuanzhao's power knowledge, absolutely in the 21st century is more outstanding, in this era, can no longer be described as top, this is to cover this era, of course, if there is no all-in-one machine, Yang Yuanzhao has knowledge beyond this era, but can not be used, but the emergence of the all-in-one machine, from the later generations to carry a large number of items, finally made all this possible, beyond the power of this era appeared, When Britain and the United States were still pursuing a breakthrough of 100 horsepower and could not, China has quietly reached 800 horsepower, perhaps in the future, it is impossible to suppress seven or eight times, and under the premise that the power is getting stronger and stronger, more than double, is already quite terrible.

This is a later story, the research of American scholars in later generations is just a possibility, but the countless science and technology hidden in China have been proved by iron-like facts, even if the United States has also opened the hanging, it also has a traverser, in 1916 at this juncture, at most to make the United States in the Americas a little better, China's general trend has become a success, occupying half of the world's population, one-seventh of the land, so that China's development is almost unhindered, the rolling trend has been formed, just like the wheels of Mercedes, unstoppable.

The U.S. military fell into a dead silence, today, the losses are not large, the losses of the armored force and the army, combined, do not exceed 300,000, compared with the previous losses, it should be much smaller, there are losses in Canada, and the losses of the first contact with the Japanese position, more than 200,000 A little bit of losses are not very large, but the blow to the U.S. troops is not ordinarily large, which represents a kind of despair, millions of U.S. troops gathered here in order to drive down Japan that occupies the territory of the United States, but this is a small place, It will not be able to be captured, and there will be no result in the loss of troops, and under this kind of blow, it is by no means a simple sentence that can be erased.

The tanks with high hopes have no effect at all, but a lot of losses, so far, more than a third of them have been lost, and there are still a lot of hidden dangers left, God knows if they can play a role, but the most important thing is how they should do it, the US military can't think of any way to break through the Japanese position.

Even if the United States now has a population of 100 million, and there are 10 million in the foreground, and even the limit reaches 20 million mobilization capacity, but the loss of millions of dollars does not dare to be easily issued, in the US military estimates, Juno's defense power has been continuously improved, from the original consumption of 500,000 people, to the present, 1 million, 2 million, under the premise of a large loss of US armored forces, and it has reached more than 4 million.

It's not that the U.S. military is prone to fluctuations, the calculation is all subjective, the key is that the entire Juno defense line is too frenzied, and even the carefully prepared tanks can't shake this defense line, what should it be. The U.S. military has no fixed telegraph line, from Juno to Vancouver, there are still several days to go, but on the front line, Delved's post was directly dismissed, waiting for the rear to be dealt with, as for the order he issued, of course, it was ignored, and even the last debriefing report, which he painstakingly drafted in one day and perfected in a few days, was not sent to the desks of the generals, and was finally just filed by a small major into the archives, and then began to be dusty for 20 years, Until the moment of Delved's death, the lockdown was not lifted.
