Chapter 1500: Foothold

On Unarasca Island, the commander of the Japanese Dispatch Army, Yusaku Uehara is in the war room, which used to be the conference room of the U.S. military, but for Unaralasca Island, which has only 20 soldiers, the conference room is not large, only more than 40 square meters, but at this moment it is full of all kinds of maps, the Chinese Navy did not go ashore, and is still anchored on the outside of Unarasca Island, and the Japanese army has carried out a preliminary exploration of Unalasca Island.

Unarasca Island is located at about 53 degrees north latitude, and Sakhalin Island is on the same latitude line, but because of the relationship between the deep ocean, it is heavily affected by the ocean climate, and the perennial temperature is not as cold as Sakhalin Island, at this time it is summer, it is thriving, the grass and trees are vigorous, and the temperature is also about 24 degrees, which is a very suitable temperature.

The exploration of the army cannot be from the resources, more can only come from the military, this island is very large, there are many bays, the island's residents are also mainly fishing, perhaps in the level of fishery, not as good as Hokkaido, but in this era, Japan is not doing well in the ocean fishery, in their opinion, basically can be offset, and even in some bays on the island, enough to build a large-scale port, which is the key for Japan.

Uehara Yusaku did not have a high position in this period, previously served as the division commander of the 7th Division and the 14th Division, before the Sino-Japanese war, he resigned for various reasons, avoiding the losses of the Sino-Japanese War, Sino-Japanese War, not only the Japanese Army was lost, most of the generals were also lost, although after the Sino-Japanese cooperation, some of the captured personnel were released, but these generals who had failed were no longer suitable for the task, most of them were engaged in second-line positions, did not enter the first line, Uehara Yusaku as a leader in the army, In the absence of more options, not only did he get a higher position, but in 1914 he was appointed a general of the army, earlier than in history, and his position began to rise.

As a senior general of the army, especially the long-term commander as a supervisor, Uehara Yusaku has a much higher understanding of military industry and logistics than other Japanese generals, especially after coming into contact with Chinese weapons, the combat effectiveness is much stronger, with China's armament, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, at least several times higher, but the biggest drawback of this Chinese weapon is that the cost is too high, there is not enough logistics, and it cannot support long-term, large-scale combat missions.

The initial exploration of Unarasca Island, especially the bays of several natural harbors, made Uehara Yusaku quite satisfied, as long as he could gain a firm foothold here and open up a port, a steady stream of supplies would be transported, Unaralaca Island has an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, enough to accommodate a large number of people and supplies, and is an important place as a transit base.

On this point, Uehara Yusaku is also quite satisfied, and even on the island, there are some basic materials and captured harvests, for example, this has long been one of the important fishing ports in the United States, more than 1,000 residents, more than 9 percent are fishermen, they confessed, just by virtue of the fishery, they can create an annual harvest of more than one million dollars, this is still in the case of insufficient processing capacity, Uehara Yusaku is heard, China has a kind of fishing boat, can be fishing, direct operation processing, if it is true, This sea area will become a rich resource point.

Just arrived near Alaska,It got off to a good start,It seems that the occupation of Unalasca Island,It also indicates that the next plan will be quite smooth,Yusaku Uehara temporarily took Unalasca Island as the initial base,It's very close to Alaska,He and Alaska deep into the Pacific Ocean A large peninsula,Alaska Peninsula,Just separated by a Unimac Island and some small islands,From the map,It's basically extremely close, However, the Alaska Peninsula is also a fairly long peninsula, with a length of 800 kilometers, which is relatively small among the peninsulas around the Pacific Ocean, but it is a volcanic peninsula with a large number of volcanoes and peaks.

In fact, the whole Alaska itself is densely populated with peaks, the 20 highest peaks in North America, at least 17 in Alaska, including the highest peaks in North America, which is also one of the fundamental reasons why Alaska is cut off from the United States, the road is too difficult, if from the land, not only to cross a large number of swamps and tundra formed by the cold zone, there are also a large number of peaks blocking the road, but close to the Pacific Ocean in the sea, the climate conditions are much better, such as Unalaska Island and the Alaska Peninsula, Due to the influence of the marine climate, the temperature in January is also about 0 degrees, which is at least a few tens of degrees higher than the terrestrial climate of the same dimension.

After confirming the control of Unarasca Island, the next time is that China will help Japan, the aircraft on the aircraft carrier did not dispatch, but a large number of capital ships carry at least 30 seaplanes, at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, all the surrounding islands can be included in the scope of reconnaissance, Japan under the control of accurate intelligence, began to carry out a series of attacks along the Alaska Peninsula and the surroundings, after a week or so, the Aleutian Islands were all controlled, Almost all the inhabited islands have been taken care of, even the Alaska Peninsula is no exception, although it has entered the Alaska mainland, but this land is absolutely different from the mainland of the United States, the population is too sparse, cutting off the connection between the Alaska Peninsula and Alaska, and the people in it basically can't run away.

Attacking the island and attacking the peninsula should be different, if this happened in Europe, maybe it would have been known to the Americans on the spot, but unfortunately this happened in Alaska near the Arctic Circle, the United States is a developed country, and it also has a developed industrial civilization, but this development, most of which refers to the United States, not only most of the cities have telegraphs, but even some developed cities have telephones. It's still the most basic telephone, and there are many times when there are glitches, but the sound is far away and communicated, which is much more efficient than the telegraph, just like a phantom attack on Wall Street, it is a restriction and control for ordinary people, but for the high-level, a phone call, a telegram, you can know what is happening here.

Alaska is different from the mainland of the United States, it is too close to the north, the climatic conditions are particularly harsh, although it has long been rumored that Alaska has large gold mines and some precious metal deposits, and a large number of gold and copper mines have been discovered, but there are still not many people to go, the key is that the climate is cold, except for the coast near the Pacific Ocean, it will be affected by the ocean climate and the continental climate, which is warmer than the ordinary continent, but a large number of mountains block the depth of the ocean climate, most of the land, In the eyes of Americans in this era, it is a barren land.

Between the United States and Alaska, separated by a Canada, the south is below, along the coast inward to the Queen Charlotte Islands, which is the closest place to the United States, and further south is the famous Canadian city of Vancouver, so the communication from the United States to Canada, that is, in Vancouver to the north, to Juneau, Alaska, there is a telegraph, and there is no telegraph to other cities, and the Aleutian Islands are even more so.

At the beginning of the 20th century, in the era of technological and social change, some places had convenient transportation and developed communications, so that they could stay at home and know the affairs of the world, but the places that were close to each other became an isolated island because of the geological conditions and telegraph problems, and the situation in Alaska clearly showed this, only the capital had a telegraph, and other places relied more on letters sent by cruise ships, which was quite unreliable.

After all, even if the Panama Canal is through, the distance between the east and west coasts of the United States has been reduced by at least more than half, but from New York to Alaska, it is still a long way to go, and even some central cities have to make a long detour, and some letters have to be taken by road first, then by rail, and finally by sea.

The Americans don't know anything about what is happening on the islands thousands of miles away, the Aleutian Islands, which have only a few thousand people, and the Alaska Peninsula, which has a population of tens of thousands, but is still very scarce, is the same, the Japanese dispatched more troops than their total number, not to mention the Japanese who fought quite fiercely in order to obtain the land on the mainland, and the Americans faced the attack of the Japanese like a tiger descending from the mountain, 600,000 against less than 30,000, even if all of them were strong laborers, all of them were soldiers, None of them can recover the results of the war between the two sides, not to mention that now, many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, after all, most of the capable young and middle-aged people have chosen to return to the United States, where is the real developed land, this is a poor and remote land.

In the middle of this, it is necessary to mention the island of Unarasca, which was occupied by a leisurely stroll, which not only gave the Japanese an optimal foothold, but also made the Japanese clear about the combat effectiveness of these American troops, and the Japanese almost blossomed, directly controlled any exit from the island, and then attacked inward, and the cruelty and ferocity were undoubtedly displayed here.

The powerful attack of the Japanese, it is almost difficult to meet strong resistance, even if there is, the Japanese will choose to use murderous means to kill most of the resistance, not to mention the American army in Alaska, even if it is the American army on the mainland, they have never encountered such a murderous way of fighting that belongs to the oriental civilization, after they resisted a little, the American faction chose to surrender, they almost all became prisoners of the Japanese army, the war around Unaralaca Island, including the war on the Alaska Peninsula, they soon started, It ended quickly, and the Japanese won a big victory and got what they wanted.
