Chapter 1743: The Power of New Tactics

Looking at the U.S. military, approaching with different tactics from the past, the commanders on the front line are still a little happy, they have fought enough with the U.S. military, and they also know that the greatest power of the tank is in the speed, when the high-speed tank, whether it is a bazooka, or a single cluster bomb, for such a high-speed tank, there is no very good way, but once the tank is tripped by the tank trench or other things, after losing his maximum support speed, he will become a target, and it is much easier to deal with.

However, the army that follows behind is a huge threat, even if they hide behind the tank, but after entering the range of the rocket launcher, they will inevitably move forward to ensure the safety of the tank, because the tank is also their talisman, and if they lose the tank, they will have no barrier, and will be exposed to the machine guns in the position.

18 kilometers away from Juneau, the Japanese faced the most forward position of the American army, in fact, in the past week of operations, they have already withstood three American attacks, with the help of a unique geographical advantage and a part of luck, this sudden forward position successfully resisted the attack of the American army.

However, in this US attack, these forward positions have become the focus of the US attack, and there are US troops in three directions of this position, with four companies in front and three on each side, a total of 10 companies of US troops, more than 1,000 people, and only 20 tanks, but this time, it put tremendous pressure on Japan.

As a matter of fact, when the US artillery was being prepared, the Japanese front commander already knew that the targets of the US army's attack must be these several parts of the front of the attack, and these front parts, because the relationship between the war and the war became prominent, if these parts were held, even if only half of them were held, the US offensive could be delayed for another three days, and even after three days, even if one was held, even if the US troops were making smooth progress in other parts, it would not be possible for them to advance significantly, and they had to take into account the problem of the rear road.

In order to defend this place, Japan not only added one squadron to supplement the original two squadrons, but also concentrated high-density rocket launchers in these places in order to deal with the direction of the main attack of the United States, at least five times the previous density, even if the other side used a dense tank camp, it could resist and even kill and injure the enemy on a large scale, but on the contrary, the Americans adopted another method, using tanks to carry infantry.

The tank takes care of the relationship between the infantry, the speed does not increase, it does not drive to the maximum speed of the US tank, and maintains a speed of about 15 kilometers, so that the speed of the infantry can keep up with it if it runs a little, and there is no disjointed relationship, so from a distance, the tank and the infantry are very closely combined, this closeness not only increases the protection of the tank, but also gives great difficulty to the defense, because the tank trench is almost useless.

Some individual tank trenches, no matter how they are hidden, make it impossible for fast tanks to find them, because on the tank, a periscope is used, and the angle cannot be without dead ends, and seeing things is also optical imaging, there is a certain deviation, in the tank, only the general target can be seen.

But the infantry is different, their sight is unobstructed, those tank trenches, it is definitely impossible to be like the previous trap, the tank trench that took seven days to build, and even the bamboo and wood are used to support it, and the top is also covered, but even so, it is impossible to completely cover up, after all, the naked eye can see things from a close distance, a tank trench of this length, it is impossible to cover it, even if it is carefully set up.

Even the kind of well-constructed tank trenches can't cover the traces, not to mention these hastily excavated individual tank trenches, an attack every three days, a salvo of tens of thousands of heavy guns, can basically destroy most of the tank trenches, these individual tank trenches are built by the Japanese army at night, at most a layer of straw is laid on them, it doesn't look so obvious, this may be able to block the observation of high-speed tanks, but it can be easily found by the infantry with the naked eye.

In front of this sudden forward position of Japan, there are at least 20 tanks, but there are at least 70 individual tank trenches, but these tanks all easily bypass these tank trenches, even if they spare a little road, but there is no slowdown in the slightest, when the artillery attack, the tanks and infantry are still 800 meters away, only a few minutes, gradually approaching the position, and soon entered the 500-meter area.

The area of 500 meters is already considered a threat area, the main weapon of the tank is machine guns, and their range is above 1000 meters, but they are frontal, there are not many targets, so they have not been shot, as for the infantry, just cover the tank, see if there is a tank trench in front, so as to remind the tank that the bazooka that really threatens the tank is in the area of 200 meters, and this time is not yet.

In the area of about 500 meters, the commander of the front line could no longer bear it, and ordered the machine gun position to start firing, and at the first time of the order, the machine gun went off, although it was said that the machine gun did not have much firing range, but at this time it was not possible to shoot, so that the tank could easily pass through the position in front and enter the attack area.

The machine-gun bullets passed through an area of several hundred meters, crackling the tank, but there was no way to break through the tank's defenses, and after the tank was attacked, as if waking up from a dream, the four machine guns above began to turn and swept towards the position. When the tank suppressed the machine guns, those infantrymen, who seemed to be well-trained, lay down almost at the same time as the machine guns sounded, waiting for the tanks to block the front, and then under the cover of the tanks, they continued to advance, and the huge tanks could block a large area of the firing range in the front of the position, which was enough to ensure the safety of the infantry behind them.

The steel protection of the tank is enough to block the bullets of the machine gun, and the 4 machine guns on the tank can suppress the frontal position, one side is a tank with strong protection, all wrapped in steel, and the other side is the Japanese army hiding in the position, because of this line of defense, the two sides have been fighting for too long, most of the bunkers have been killed by long-range artillery fire, even if there are wreckage, but it is not suitable for protection, so the machine gun position is in the trench, at most some sandbag protection, such protection, None of the attacking infantry was well protected, let alone the tank's machine guns.

This kind of protection could not stop the suppression of the tanks at all, some of them could not raise their heads to attack, and some of them forcibly attacked, and in the face of the intensive attack of the tanks, they soon lost a lot, some machine gunners were killed, and even some of the machine guns were also attacked by bullets, some were destroyed, and a large number of machine gun positions were forced to mute fire.

Letting the machine gun fire did not achieve any effect, maybe at the very beginning, the sudden attack made a few soldiers who had no time to dodge be knocked to the ground, but when the soldiers in front of the tank were lying down, there was no firing range, the machine gun did little damage to the infantry, but was a little overwhelmed by the tank's counterattack.

What to do? This is the idea of the front-line officers, the confrontation between Japan and the United States has lasted for several months, they have a comparative understanding of the strength of the two sides, and they also knew before that the machine gun cannot deal with the tank, and his machine gun attack is also to deal with the infantry that follows the tank, in his opinion, this attack of the US army, it seems that the tank has played a huge role, the tank covers the infantry, the infantry covers the tank, and it is difficult to pose a direct threat to the tank if the infantry is not removed.

Now it seems that the U.S. military has already done targeted training, those infantry are very smart, they have always been under the cover of tanks, even if the machine guns are not suppressed, it is unlikely to kill and injure those U.S. troops significantly, not to mention that now, the machine guns are suppressed, except for some machine guns in the marginal areas, which can also play a role, the rest, basically there is no way.

Guarding the position is a deputy captain, who carries two infantry squadrons of the brigade, as well as another infantry squadron that has just been added, a total of more than 700 people, guarding such a small hill only 100 meters high.

In his position, there are at least 80 bazookas, but the range of the bazooka is 150 meters to 200 meters, to ensure the hit, it needs to be about 100 meters, 100 meters is definitely within the range of the opponent's rifle, from aiming to launching, it cannot be achieved overnight, there must be a few seconds, or even more than ten seconds, this time, enough for infantry shooting, that is, if you forcibly let the bazooka shoot, it will put the bazooka hand in extreme danger.

The same scene also appeared on other positions, without exception, everyone was stumped by the new tactics of the US army, under the cover of tanks, this group of mixed troops, smoothly crossed the most dangerous area of 600 meters to 200 meters, and gradually approached the position, whether it was more than 200 individual tank trenches, or 150 machine guns densely spread on the position, did not produce any effect, but because of the counterattack of the tanks, 30 were lost, it can be said that the first preliminary contact, The losses were heavy, and there were no great casualties.

"On, anti-tank operation immediately!" When the tank approached the area of 200 meters, the officers on the front line could no longer bear it, if they waited until the tank approached the position, then there was no way, only to be desperate, there were only 7 tanks in the front, and he couldn't take care of the tanks in the other two aspects, he was ready to put 30 rocket launchers at one time, and there were only 7 tanks that threatened, and he killed these 7 tanks, and there were nearly 1,000 people on the frontal battlefield, which was the target, and he was sure to leave them behind.
