Chapter 1775: A Huge Trap
This is probably the largest artillery battle after the arrival of the US army in Juneau, from waiting for the arrival of tanks, most of the US artillery fire has been transported to the front line, but in terms of range, compared with the Japanese artillery fire, there is still a certain gap, in this case, unless necessary, the US army will rarely fight with the Japanese artillery. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But at this moment, in order to escort this armored force, the U.S. military took out all the artillery fire, which was somewhat unexpected by Japan, one side wanted to clean up the tank, but the other side didn't want to, the artillery on both sides, you come and go, the fight is lively, overall, Japan still has the upper hand, the number of artillery that can be concentrated on the front line is much higher than that of the U.S. army, and the quality is also high, and the artillery fire of the U.S. army was quickly suppressed. The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. This position is the most suitable place for tank charges, and at first glance, there should be nothing like a tank trench, at most it will rush to the Japanese position, and it will encounter resistance, which is one of the reasons why he forcibly attacked.
Perhaps, there will be some mines and the like, on the previous position, Japan has already laid quite a lot of mines, but the mines of this era may have a considerable lethal effect on the infantry, but for the tank, there is really not much effect, if it is not for the nameless high ground is too rugged, the tank cannot go to every position, maybe the tank will be sent to clear the mines.
In fact, on this road, there are really mines, the trap is in the central part, if nothing is arranged, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the US military, in the entire plain area, at least more than 30,000 mines have been arranged, and even when the US tanks carry out a group charge, a lot of them have been triggered.
It is precisely this relatively dense mine that makes the US military feel that Japan has exhausted its skills, after all, this is not a mountainous area, just a plain area between several mountain peaks, and it has not been detected before, how much defense there is, and the Japanese army's defensive positions are basically arranged near the mountain peaks, and quickly occupying this place can be regarded as a big step forward.
The tank drove to the highest speed, 5 kilometers, for the tank, less than 15 minutes, followed by the tank, there are at least 320,000 people, almost 20 infantry divisions, they will follow the tank, rapid impact, and finally with the help of the tank, occupy the position, the tank can play a lethal role at most, and the infantry is still effective in occupying the territory.
The Americans hope that later today, they will be able to reap huge results, in the exercise, as long as the other side does not have a bazooka, the tank will win, the bazooka thing, in the telescope, it is impossible to hide, at most a few dozen, there is still a possibility, once the number exceeds 1,000, or even reaches 10,000, this thing cannot be hidden, Japan has not used it in all the battles before, indicating that the bazooka is either none, or relatively few.
The reason why the tank was blown up on the European front is very simple, Germany is so mad that it actually got more than 300,000 bazookas from China, not to mention the tanks that are still in their embryonic state in World War I, even if it is a tank in World War II, in the face of such a huge number of bazookas that can break armor, the group charge will be very miserable. So, the Anglo-American tank, the end result is like this, was educated by the bazooka as a whole.
Dozens of bazookas, for these dense camp tanks, have no effect at all, maybe they can destroy one or two, but among the 8,000 vehicles, 1,000 less is not a big problem, 8,000 and 7,000 vehicles, rushed into the fixed position, and the effect produced is basically the same, can destroy this position, or even more than 7,000.
The battle on the high ground occasionally flashed in Delved's heart, but he quickly let go, at least, in this plain area, it is unlikely that there will be traps, and there are no clues to be seen in all directions, compressing the Japanese position, as long as they pass through this plain, they will compress the Japanese position on 4 nameless heights, and the connection between them will also be weakened, which is very good for the next attack.
In addition to these four heights, there are about 7 positions, as long as these 4 positions are cleared, the entire Japanese liaison system will be dealt a huge blow, at least 2,000 square kilometers, occupying a considerable part of the entire Juno outer defense line, will be gnawed down by the US army.
This is a huge progress, after the previous losses, Delved has thought that 8,000 tanks, unable to take all the positions, can take a part of it is good, the follow-up US army will give how much armor support, this he knows, at least 20,000, up to 50,000, before the follow-up tanks arrive, to establish a strategic advantage for the US army, this is his merit, with the previous vision of leading the armored forces to kill the Quartet, The dream of successfully winning all of Juno is a little different, but it is also his foundation, as long as he does all this, his level will definitely be improved.
The depth is only less than 5 kilometers of flat land, the width is a lot, more than ten kilometers, the tank is divided into several batches, fast forward, this is a land suitable for the rapid advance of the tank, only some low shrubs have grown, even the shrubs are relatively sparse, the US army can use the maximum speed, and even with the army behind the army has opened up a distance of almost 1 km, and the Japanese resistance has, for the tank, relatively slight.
In the eyes of the Japanese commander, it is another matter, of course, this plain is armed, it is a huge tank trench, which is also one of the results of the previous Kawasaki beauty to resist for seven days, this tank trench with a width of 4 meters and a depth of more than 3 meters is even more frustrating than the previous Kawasaki scenery, not to mention the US tanks of this era, even if it is a heavy Chinese tank, it can also fall into it.
It's just that China's reconnaissance force is far stronger than that of the United States, and as long as the planes and special forces are arranged, they will definitely be able to investigate them, even if these well-camouflaged tank trenches are arranged as much as possible, they still look like some loopholes in the air, and even some high-definition cameras can show most of the situation, and they will not be like the US military, which will hit the trap alive.
Of course, in order to pit the Americans, Japan really did the extreme, in order to ensure the effect, did a certain amount of support and concealment, the upper bamboo board can even support a person of fifty or sixty kilograms to travel on it, encountered artillery fire, as long as it is not a direct hit, ordinary shrapnel can not make it show its original shape, which is also where Japan's confidence lies.
You know, 5 kilometers long, 12 kilometers wide, more than 60 square kilometers of the area, the US artillery fire is a lot, and it is impossible to cover it comprehensively, only the most likely place will be found, the central area is also missing, on this long tank trench, there are almost not many shells falling, most of the shells fell within 1 km of the front of the Japanese defense line, and there are many places inside the defense line that have been attacked intensively, and even the two tank trenches in the defense line are exposed because of the concentrated fire of the shells. The U.S. military once thought that the artillery attack had an effect, but it missed this, not only the relatively stable arrangement of tank trenches, but also the misunderstanding of thinking, after all, any line of defense is placed in front of the battle line, and you are empty a few kilometers away to arrange, isn't it in vain?
There are still 2.3 kilometers, at the speed of the tank, maybe six or seven minutes, it will pass, Delved burst of excitement, came to Juno for 7 days, today is his smoothest, because all the tanks can play a role, even if Japan can deal with one or two, the remaining tanks will still give heavy damage to the Japanese position, according to yesterday's plan, the main attack on two of the heights, just by the artillery fire found the tank trench, now the follow-up artillery fire has been extended, will destroy the tank trench, at least make a way, when the time comes, there is no tank trench, not to let their armored forces rage.
However, at this time, the U.S. military suddenly found that the armored forces were in chaos, and it seemed that the vehicles in front were in chaos. What happened, due to the distance, the two sides did not have a reliable method of communication, did not know what was happening ahead, and then, seriously, a tank seemed to sink into it all at once, and there was a big hole in the ground.
A was stunned for a moment, and his face immediately changed, tank trenches, the Japanese actually arranged tank trenches in this plain, and the scale is not small, this is terrible, although they were prepared before, but they were more on the Japanese defense line, and now they are trapped, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss.
A immediately brought a telescope to observe the situation on the front line, but the more he looked, the more helpless he felt, on the forward line, at least 800 tanks were trapped in the tank trench, but this is only a line, and some of the back are a little clever and began to slow down, but under inertia, dozens of them also rushed into the second wave, and the rest were also chaotic.
Tank trenches! Delved almost forced this sentence out from between his teeth, he was still fooled, it seemed that there was no protection against the Japanese defense line, there was really a trap, this time, the pit was even worse, nearly a thousand tanks, it had to be destroyed, even if it was irretrievable, it could not be cheapened for the Japanese.
But at this time, the Japanese army was in full swing, and it seemed that a calm plain suddenly had thousands of machine guns, and all the artillery was also extended to the follow-up armored and infantry positions, and they couldn't even withdraw the tanks as easily as before, and the crew on the tanks was also blocked into the tanks, and the positions that Japan spent 7 days preparing for were of course not so simple, they not only had to take down this batch of tanks, but also stopped the destruction of the American side, which was different from the previous Kawasaki beauty department, This time, Japan is more prepared and more comprehensive.
