Chapter 1798: Approaching the United States

In the first few days of the Sakura plan, basically, it was near the base camp of the United States, and in the nearest time, it was only 180 kilometers, in such an area, once it was discovered by the United States, it might cause unnecessary trouble, but after passing this area, it was safe, 400 kilometers away, the armored troops were mobile units, and the tanks of the New First Army were even more than the American tanks, as long as they did a good job of reconnaissance, they really did not worry about being besieged by the American army.

Two days went well, so that Kawasaki scenery is completely relieved, when camping, just found a relatively gentle place, surrounded by a small river, and did not deliberately look for a hidden place, of course, this also has something to do with the situation of the Great Plains, the Great Plains is one of the few places in the United States and Canada where the vegetation is not dense, in these places, in the search for the woods like yesterday, it is very difficult.

However, although it is close to the edge of a small river, there are only 3 villages within 150 kilometers of the surrounding area, with a total of more than 50 people, and the nearest village is 72 kilometers away, which is almost outside the area of human activity. Very few people make it to this area.

But tonight, Zheng Shuming's report is much simpler, most of the things have been reported yesterday, there are not too many new things today, on the way, there is not much place to play, and there are not many obstacles, everything has arrived at the destination smoothly, and even the daytime march is even more lacking in highlights, it is nothing more than a continuous march, which does not help China much.

Even if Zheng Shuming is a layman, he can see that in fact, the next day's report, the staff officers only took a slight look, and they also knew that the first day was more important, and they might see some things, but on the second day, or even the third and fourth days, maybe they would not gain something until they passed through the Mississippi River.

In the entire Great Plains area, there are not many big rivers, most of them are rivers within 50 meters, the depth is not high, more than one meter or so, these rivers, as long as they are not swamps and sediment siltation more, can be directly passed without bridges, after all, the tank is tracked, not wheeled, and the cross-country ability in the field is quite strong.

One day, there was no problem, it was empty, the third day was very smooth, because it was more distant from the US military and Canada, they chose a flat place to receive airdropped supplies, while airdropping supplies at the same time, after receiving the airdrop, it was only half past four in the afternoon, after they accepted the airdrop materials, they began to set off without any repair, this day, they will march for 18 hours in a row, and they will not rest until 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day.

In three days, after walking 1,200 kilometers, we have reached the central part of Canada, and the problem of distance selection, in the time of the preparation of the cherry blossom plan, the map of the entire central Canada and the central part of the United States, in the 12-hour uninterrupted reconnaissance of the reconnaissance aircraft, found out, not only walking in the flattest area, but also quite few rivers, even if it is a river, it will choose a relatively shallow, or narrower place, so that it is quite easy, and there is not much delay.

Most of the rivers are directly crossed, only a small part of the rivers are used by the Zhouqiao troops, which have been modified by China, the maximum traffic range is 700 meters of Zhouqiao troops, to deal with these small rivers in Canada, of course, there is no problem, with the help of Zhouqiao troops, almost every day is a 500-kilometer trip, the excellent performance of China's modified tanks, here is undoubtedly shown, if it is still an American tank, 500 kilometers, you need to continuously march at a maximum speed of 25 kilometers, 20 hours, It's almost impossible to solve.

However, among the modified tanks, the average speed has exceeded 35 kilometers per hour, 500 kilometers per hour, which is a little more than 14 hours, which is not difficult for the new First Army. From Alaska around the Rocky Mountains, into the hinterland of Canada, the first three days of 120 kilometers, although to the south, but not much to the south, the whole or eastward, according to the road map of the cherry blossom plan, they need to go from Alaska to Canada, about 1400 kilometers, will turn around and go south, basically will travel about 2200 kilometers to the south, that is, in the territory of Canada, will travel about 3600 kilometers.

According to the cherry blossom plan, they will spend about 8-12 days to pass this section, and the lowest distance is also 300 kilometers, in fact, from the third day, the entire mileage is greatly exceeded.

On the third day, more than 800 kilometers from the base camp of the American army, they boldly marched for 20 hours in a row, from five o'clock in the afternoon of the previous day to one in the afternoon of the next day, and then rested for an afternoon and evening, and began the daytime march.

The Great Plains is flat, and quite desolate, day and night, the difficulty of the march is not the same, before for safety, the time of the march was set at night, but now it is safe, do not worry about being besieged by the American army, of course, choose the day, even if the armor is quite convinced, can reduce the time as much as possible, of course, to reduce, itself may be 450 kilometers per day is enough, from the third day, it is 650, and then basically there is no 600.

Because of this, Canada's mileage of more than 3,600 kilometers, the final time, is only 7 days, thanks to Canada's no man's land, there is no need to consider any hidden relationship, except for a few settlements and river docks, need to avoid, the rest, a smooth road.

It has been 7 days since the start of the Sakura Project in the Japanese base camp, and the armored convoy began to go south, and in the early hours of this morning, the plane carried out a replenishment, and then, a full 20 hours, this time the armored convoy is ready to trek more than 600 kilometers a day, and prepare to cross the dividing line between the United States and Canada from the northern border of Canada within one day.

In 8 days, more than 3,600 kilometers in a row, such a rapid advance, even the Chinese armored forces, during the exercise, were about the same, in this sense, this Japanese armored force, when it was just formed into the army, has such an effect, this is very good, they almost under bad circumstances, completed such an incredible task.

In the Japanese base camp, almost every day to accept such confidence, every day to advance a large piece, so that Japan's perception of armored forces to a higher level, itself is just a plan to show strength, but it has become a real military plan, on the map, the United States border is getting closer and closer, as long as this is crossed, Japan is no longer passively beaten, which has a huge effect on the strategy of the entire Alaska.

An armored force of 5,000 tanks, but a very powerful force, in addition to the same armored force can deal with, at least 10 times more infantry, and to preset the premise of the battlefield, to be able to block it, to destroy it, not only the number of infantry increases, but also need to have a large-caliber heavy artillery cluster is possible.

Such a force, as long as it appears in the United States, as long as it plays a slight role, it will cause large-scale turmoil in the United States, and at that time, it will be impossible for the United States to concentrate all its forces in Alaska, and now Japan is under great pressure, and after several months of fighting with the United States, they have also seen the strength of the United States, although the will of the soldiers is not as high as the Japanese samurai who have been baptized by bushido since childhood, but their equipment, in terms of tactical flexibility, is much stronger than Japan. If it weren't for the defense line that China helped build, if it weren't for China's help in training defense, they would have collapsed long ago.

In this way, the appearance of tanks almost collapsed the entire Japanese defense line, and if it weren't for China's help, it would have been finished long ago. Who knows what the United States will do next, even if it has a geographical advantage in Alaska, the United States is too much stronger than Japan, not to mention that the population is twice as large, let's talk about industrial capacity, their world's first industry, under the premise of unobstructed, is simply like Mount Tai pressing the top.

It is necessary to hurt the United States, and this time the Sakura Plan is a strategic plan, so that the United States knows that Japan will not only be passively beaten, but also have the ability to counterattack, as long as the United States does not defend its homeland well, they can attack the United States at any time, and as long as the United States is distracted, even if it mobilizes one-third of its forces for domestic defense, Japan will be much easier.

Now, the goal is in sight, the strategic plan is about to succeed, yesterday we have reached less than 300 kilometers from the US border, and today we will cross this border, and even continue to move forward, until we reach the Missouri River, we will not stop.

The Missouri River, the longest tributary of the largest river in the United States, is located at the highest elevation, with the largest drop and strong currents, and is one of the most important rivers in the Northwest of the United States, with a length of more than 4,000 kilometers alone, and eventually, it flows into the Mississippi River north of St. Louis.

In the cherry blossom plan, crossing the Missouri River is an important process, and his significance is even on the border of the United States, crossing the United States, at most it is a sense of attacking the United States, north of the Missouri River, that is Montana in the United States, the United States of America with agriculture and logging as the main American continent, in the 21st century, the population density is also relatively small in the United States, there are large areas of pasture and farmland, but there is not much industry and population.

Attacking here is only a symbolic attack on the United States, and only by crossing the Missouri River is it a smooth road, along the Rocky Mountains, all the way to the hinterland of the United States, and finally cutting off the Pacific Railroad to reach the ultimate goal.
