Chapter 1677: The Canadian Army's First Attack

300,000 U.S. troops formed the vanguard of the U.S. Army and rushed to the front-line base, but because of the current environment in Alaska and the lack of roads in most areas, the sappers tried as hard as they could, just simply repairing the bridge, so that some heavy firepower of more than 100 mm would not be unable to move forward, but the relatively large heavy firepower still slowed down the force.

When the vanguard of the U.S. Army arrived at the outermost part of Juneau, under the camouflage, the U.S. Army only found a division of Japanese troops, and the position layout was quite loose, of course, this was only shown in front of the U.S. Army, in this position, referring to the suggestions of the Chinese side, on the frontal battlefield, only a small part of the army was placed, and most of the Japanese troops were distributed in the rear diagonal line, and there was no trace of the troops from the front.

The purpose of this is to conceal and paralyze the US army, to create enough advantages for the Japanese army in the initial war, it seems that there are only a few defenders of the position, once the war breaks out, under the order of electronic signals and telephones, the soldiers hiding in the hidden caves behind them can quickly enter the main front through the tunnels and tunnels to carry out the war.

In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why the Chinese staff officer suggested that the Japanese army mobilize forces to carry out a sneak attack on the vanguard of the US army. The Japanese did not follow the advice of the Chinese staff officers, but they still followed another suggestion of the Chinese side, that is, to reduce the frontal arrangement as much as possible in order to attract the US troops to attack, relying on fixed defensive positions, to give the US troops enough casualties, and create results.

When the U.S. troops came in a rage, and the Japanese high-level and the Chinese staff in the rear thought that a real battle was about to start on the Juno front, these U.S. troops not only did not attack, but stopped, looked at the Japanese troops in front of them, and were indifferent, but set up camp 5 kilometers in front of the defensive line. Has it been discovered? This is probably the only thought of the Chinese and Japanese officers, but looking at the signs of the US military camping, it is not that they have found an ambush on the Japanese side, but that they think that the Japanese army in front of them has no threat to them, and they have settled down with great swagger, and they do not plan to attack, but wait for others to attack.

In fact, the actions of the U.S. military are really like this, the vanguard of the U.S. military of 3 divisions, among the U.S. troops, is also considered an elite unit, they did not rush into battle, but waited for the follow-up Canadian troops to come, these U.S. troops are not stupid, the other side is in formation, even if the defensive force is not very strong, they are not willing to attack like this, let Canada take the lead, even the slightest sacrifice, the Americans do not want to bear, anyway, it has been a month and a half slow, but there is no need to worry about delaying a few more days.

The reconnaissance plane informed the Juno's front line of the shape of the US army and the speed of the follow-up troops, and the final judgment was about the same, the US army was waiting for the Canadian army, and the march in the complex terrain was a test of the strength of the army, it was obvious that the US army and the Canadian army had obvious differences in army strength, at the other end of the Rocky Mountains, the US army was about 2 million, Canada was about 1.2 million, and the vanguard was about 550,000, but within 3 days, The vanguard of the U.S. army has all arrived, and finally arrived at about 12 divisions, and there are several independent brigades, and the vanguard of Canada has only arrived with 5 divisions, a total of about 90,000 people, and the rest are in the rear, and those who arrived in advance still did not carry heavy equipment.

There are only 5 divisions, less than 90,000 people, and even most of the heavy firepower, which are not carried, fortunately, their infantry is complete, Japan was preparing as early as 5 days ago, and the division placed on the bright side has been reduced to the level of a regiment, that is only on the bright side, in fact, hundreds of firepower points on the entire defense line have been fully prepared, no matter where the opponent attacks from, at least on the front, there will be at least 1,000 machine guns covered, these machine guns form a fire defense line that attacks one after another, To break through this line of defense, it takes not only courage, but also sacrifice, and even under continuous attacks, these untrained troops are easily demoralized, and even a bullet-ridden battlefield, countless people are beaten into a sieve, which will make some people who have not been on the battlefield, or who have little experience on the battlefield, collapse.

For the request of the US military, the Canadian commander complained about this, but did not refuse, because the frontal battlefield, although it is a little steep, there are not many troops arranged, and there are not many lines of defense around, obviously only the first line, similar to the outpost battle, the Canadian general also knows that the strength of the Canadian army is not strong, but no matter how strong it is, there is no problem in overcoming such a line of defense.

In the barracks arranged by the U.S. military in advance, the Canadian troops just rested for a night, and began to attack, this morning, there was a slight mist, but the sun was very dazzling, and the mist was quickly dispersed, 57,000 Canadian troops, almost 3 divisions and 2 regiments, under the orders of the Canadian officers, lined up in 4 phalanxes, mighty, like the momentum of the mountains and seas, holding rifles, and rushing up in black.

The U.S. commander pouted, even if Canada participated in the European War, but the Canadian army is still so stuck in the attack method of the last century, in this sense, as long as the other side counterattacks, they will inevitably suffer huge losses, maybe the first to shine under the face, the loss of a company, or even a battalion is possible, and the U.S. military did not remind Canada, but made a cover posture, on this side of the position, more than 20 machine guns were arranged, and in the other area, 12 divisions of strategic artillery fire were placed, Preparing to take advantage of Canada's attack to plow on the opponent's position, basically, is preparing to use Canadian blood to build their military exploits.

Kawasaki Meijing looked at the Canadian army that was slowly approaching with a telescope, under the premise of such a detailed reconnaissance, the military uniforms of the US army and the Canadian army were already very familiar, this trap did not trap the US army, but trapped Canada, which more or less made him a little unhappy, as the commander of the Japanese Eleventh Army, responsible for commanding a first-class army and two second-class armies in this defense line, the battlefield of 12 kilometers in front, the whole is the defense area, in the lush bushes, in the chaotic place, A large number of bunkers were arranged, not simple bunkers made of concrete or stone, but comprehensive, reinforced concrete bunkers, sufficient to withstand direct attacks from at least 300 mm guns.

All the firing points, all of them have been carefully calculated, and even the woods that look lush, most of the trees can't play any role in shielding, and the firing range is quite wide, not to mention 57,000 people, rushing up through a dense camp, even if it is lined up in a skirmish line, it is enough to cause huge damage.

However, there is still one last hurdle to pass, the high-altitude reconnaissance plane, has clearly transmitted the signal to the beautiful side of Kawasaki, the US artillery located in the rear, has begun to deploy, the US military supplies are very rich, even if it is an emergency march, but a month and a half is enough for most of the US heavy artillery to be sent over.

At present, a division of the US army is equipped with 750 cannons, which does not include mortars at the company and platoon level, which even includes more than 120 guns and more than 100 mm guns, and at least 1200 or more artillery pieces in 12 divisions.

The artillery of the U.S. army, began to prepare, ready to launch before the launch, Kawasaki Meijing has announced the preparation of anti-artillery, on the front-line position, a large number of infantry began to enter the anti-artillery hole, these anti-artillery holes are located in a very close position to the defense line, the straight-line distance is not more than 300 meters, even at this moment, the U.S. military began to shell, they can most of them withdraw into the anti-artillery hole, not to mention that the U.S. military is slow and methodical, giving Japan too much time.

Whether it was seven months from last year to this spring, when the United States and Canada sent troops, it still went very slowly, and gave Japan another one and a half months to adjust the army and consolidate the defense line.

In the midst of the artillery attack, the Japanese position, there are no more people in sight, there are some models of steel helmets and uniforms, etc., they look from a distance, it looks like someone is in the trench, but in fact, all the soldiers have retreated through the tunnel to the back, in the rear of the first line of the anti-artillery hole, this kind of anti-artillery hole that can withstand at least 300 mm naval guns, is currently the largest protection of the Japanese army, Japan did not even prepare for the lookout post.

The reason is very simple, in the second and third line positions, there are a variety of bunkers widely arranged, these bunkers are very thick, the degree of defense is even above the anti-artillery hole, and the position of the opening is quite exquisite, that is, it can prevent shrapnel killing on the outside line, and it can also give the shooters enough firing range, these machine guns are quite reasonably arranged, from top to bottom, far and near combined, enough to cover the entire battlefield, and even when the artillery cage is covered, it is enough to cast a death Jedi on a battlefield through a fixed shooting angle, As long as there was not enough armor to cover it, and with the arrangement of these machine guns and fixed firing points, no infantry could withstand the flames of death.
