Chapter 169: The North American War
The great powers attach great importance to their own security, because development can only be achieved if security is guaranteed. Ren Di crossed the plane where he was before, the three big countries are like this, a series of countries on the southern border of the United States, although they have a large population, but under the intervention of the black hand, all of them are failed countries, and Canada on the northern border is cold and sparsely populated, and it is completely incapable of threatening, so it can live in peace. In the heyday of the Soviet Union, power in the East was strong, and China was required to be consistent in all respects. The relationship between the two was extremely tense, and it was only in the Russian era that Maozi's power was weakened in the East, and the relationship between the two sides could only be eased by focusing on the West.
There will never be a friendly and powerful neighbor in this world, and if there is, it is purely because you have given up your strength and are ready to become a vassal. Haisong is ready to develop in the Americas, so the industrial countries with high white racism in North America will inevitably have a strategic conflict with Haisong in the future.
This war was already planted after the end of the Northeast Asian campaign. Strategy, a country must have a long-term strategy, when it is strong, it is extremely easy to indulge in prosperity, when a country does not have a hundred years of strategic planning, that is from the peak of the downhill. Zhao Weiguo left a complete centennial plan for the republic. Politically determine the rule of law. The goal of domestic national efforts is to increase productivity, and foreign diplomacy is to break through the blockade step by step, squeeze through the blockade of the Haisong Dynasty with strong force, break the economic power from the South China Sea, and connect the trade of all continents.
Once the strategy is formulated, and several generations of leadership make unremitting efforts in this direction, it will be like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the Qin Dynasty accumulated for hundreds of years and dominated the world and swept away Liuhe. Hai Song clearly felt the implementation of the republic's strategy, no matter how many warships Hai Song built and how many actions he made, the republic remained immovable under the condition of ensuring security.
At this time, Haisong also began to implement its own century-old prosperity strategy. It's time to address the threat in North America. In 1720, Mingus had his biggest war in the plane.
Hai Song's tank corps has once again appeared in this world. Compared with the last tank that appeared in Northeast Asia, the data on paper of Haisong's tank has been greatly reduced from the last time, the weight of the tank has been reduced to 13 tons, and the gun used has become 37 mm. and a machine gun for firepower.
Of course, it should be placed on the frontal battlefield, compared with the previous combat vehicles launched in Haisong, it seems that it has degraded in terms of combat effectiveness, degrading from a large tank to a bean tank. However, this tank design idea was a problem found in the two actual tank weapons battles in Northeast Asia and North America in this century. How useful a weapon is a tank is related to the battlefield. In two real battles, a massive maneuver of tank corps. However, in the battlefield where the railway network is not developed and the carrying capacity of the bridges is insufficient, the overly heavy tanks cannot effectively cooperate with the corps. So Hai Song collected the database and made his own backbone combat vehicle in North American armored forces according to the standard of a tank designed by the Czech Republic for the Third Reich in World War II.
The 275-horsepower engine drives the one-man-tall, four-pair iron tortoise on wheels at an astonishing speed of 50 kilometers per hour. In the north of North America, the rapid crossing of river forests, shrubs, and the large amount of dust and grass clippings thrown off by the tracks like the hooves of a flying horse are not necessarily the most capable tank that Hai Song has built at present, but it must be the most suitable tank for large-scale combat in North America.
The torrent of gray-blue painted armor on the ground, and the columns of metal fighters in the sky, opened the prelude to the Haisong armed raid on the north. The Hai Song offensive was carefully planned, premeditated, and clumsy, under the pretext that a band of soldiers in Free Army uniforms had arrived at the North American border to occupy the radio station to promote Great Whiteism. Liu Yiming, chairman of Haisong, quickly arrived in Xinxiangyang and angrily announced that Haisong had been invaded by the Free Army.
Well, now there are no more countries in the world that dare to stand on the side of justice under the obscenity of Hai Song, so the North American Defense Forces of Hai Song quickly responded to the invasion, 1.2 million troops, 6,000 tanks, 20,000 other vehicles, vehicles, and 5,000 aircraft quickly made a move to defend the country on the North American border.
Seeing this performance, the travelers in East Asia couldn't help but laugh and squirt, Hai Song's gang of guys, I am afraid that they are directly copying and copying, the performance of Hitler's invasion of Poland. I don't want any Bilian. At the same time, Mingus in North America has no time to denounce the shameless and obscene behavior of Hai Song's gang. Hai Song's mechanized corps fought very fiercely. On the plain, the tanks charged directly, encountered the fortified fortifications and interspersed them directly, and then let the infantry attack with the support of heavy artillery and aircraft fire brought by the mechanics. The mechanized troops marched too quickly on the undefended strip of the plains, quickly dividing the 500,000 troops that Mingus had placed on the front line.
The tank does not need to attack the fort and fight hard, as long as it can quickly run over all the defenders in the area around the fort, it is easy and quick to clear the offensive obstacles for the heavy artillery infantry, and sit on the truck with the heavy artillery infantry and wait for the tank to sweep away the enemy's mobile forces, and then jump off the truck to attack the enemy troops who are holding a strong position. This is a tactic that uses steel chariots as a mobile force and machinery to transport a fast-moving attacking force.
On the plains, Mingus's free army could not stop Hai Song's light tan, facing the Iron Knights of this new era of big votes. Bullet machine guns are equal to tickling, and in the face of this steel galloping scene, anyone will feel powerless in the face of a simple defensive position on the plain. On the plains, the soldiers could not fight against the moving tank groups. Like the heavy knights of the European Middle Ages whose infantry could not withstand the charge. On the ground, too, only the steel chariot can face the strangulation of the steel chariot.
And what about Mingus's tank? Two hundred kilometers south of Detroit, the largest tank battle in history broke out, Hai Song mobilized 1,800 tanks, Mingus hastily assembled 1,200 tanks, and the two sides launched a heavy metal collision oil spraying fire and scorching metal war on the land of the Americas, which was full of wild grass.
As long as the speed is fast, the pickup truck abuses the tank. Light tanks were pierced by the 18-ton tanks of the Free Army with 50-mm guns. Hai Song's tanks were heavily penetrated by the frontal armor during the charge. However, with such losses, the light tanks had good mobility and made a massive detour to the rear of the Free Army armored group. With a strong engine, the speed of forty or fifty kilometers per hour is too fast for a tank designed by Mingus.
The tank copied by Hai Song from the historical line of the first generation of patriarchs has the reputation of Skoda sports car. When the detour was successful, the Free Army tank faced the fate of defeat, and a 37-mm tungsten core armor-piercing bullet pierced through the iron sheet of the Haisong tank. Don't ask where Haisong got so much tungsten. In recent years, the power equipment technology of the Republic has been Haisong. That's how some of the resources are exported. This is the reason why Hai Song suddenly had so many gold coin bullets on this battlefield.
The long core was easily punctured, and the Haisong tank was not armored at the back, and steel fragments splattered everywhere inside the vehicle with the hole punctured by the core. To make matters worse, Mingus is still stubborn about loading the vehicle with a gasoline engine. In fact, in recent years, Mingus has made very little effort to fundamentally climb science and technology, and a large number of industrial manpower has been invested in military manufacturing. Tank design pursues stronger power, thicker armor, and more firepower, as for the undesirable consequences after being penetrated. Mingus also considered, but the diesel engine developed has never been able to keep up with the power performance of the gasoline engine, rashly changing the diesel engine, it is necessary to redesign the tank, in the design can only make the tank combat effectiveness data shrink, how can Mingus, who already feels unsafe, withstand the weapon performance does not rise but falls. In the pursuit of better tanks, Mingus can only go down the road of gasoline tanks.
When Hai Song's chariot completed the task of stabbing the chrysanthemum, the tanks of the Free Army became steel crematoriums. Bursting flames erupted from the various cracks in the interior of the vehicle, and the occasional explosion of ammunition killed the flaming tank, sometimes directly causing the burning wreckage of the tank, which seemed to expand in a circle under the expansion of the shock wave and then ejected the turret, and the explosive gases were ejected from the exposed part of the tank turret flying to the rear of the tank. After the blasted turret rolled in the sky, the twisted steel barrel smashed into the ground and embedded in the earth.
This battle of tank clusters between the Free Army and Hai Song ended with the victory of Hai Song. 654 tanks were destroyed on the Haisong side, and 1,034 tanks were destroyed or captured by the Free Army. Since then, Hai Song has never been able to show such a scale of armored force in the plains south of the Great Lakes.
Heavy industrial cities on the south banks of the Five Great Lakes have become isolated areas, and a large amount of heavy industrial capacity has been exposed to the front lines of the battlefield. Withstands artillery fire. However, Mingus on the north shore of the Great Lakes will face a naval battle of the inner lake, let's call the surface war in the world's largest freshwater lake area a naval battle, don't look down on the Great Lakes, the Great Mongolia still has a navy.
As early as the ground armor raid at the same time, the Haisong fleet in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean broke into the Bay of St. Lawrence, which is almost surrounded by the surrounding land in eastern Canada, and the aircraft carrier battle group provided air cover for the 3,000-ton warships of the Haisong River, opening up a new battlefield, and along the St. Lawrence River can directly break south into the core theater of the Great Lakes, cutting off the control of the Free Army of North America south of the Great Lakes. and to prevent the transfer of heavy industrial equipment and population from the south bank to the north shore of the Great Lakes. Thus began the fierce war on this river. Gunboats on both sides spewed smoke into the narrow river channel, pushing the projectiles. The explosion exploded along the armor of the battleship, leaving scratches on the carburized armor, and the explosion made a splash on the deck that the soldiers had brushed countless times. At the same time, the bridge and chimney of the steel structure were wet, and in this smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of both battleships were unmoved, and cooperated to complete the mobile loading of the battleship, and completed the maximum probability of artillery covering salvo according to the order of the battleship officer. There is a difference between the navy and the army, in that in modern times, senior officers of the army relied on the authority of their rank in the army to let their soldiers charge, while on a battleship, the risks were the same from ordinary sailors to the captain of the battleship. The combat effectiveness of the entire battleship and sailors depends on the whole from the captain to the sailors, and how they can cooperate and control this large weapon of several thousand tons from top to bottom.
Haisong's fleet is a navy with a long history. has its own glory. In this artillery battle, he was very calm and calm, and after being shot in time, he could still carry out the damage management in an orderly manner and continue to follow the battle regulations. So after eight hours of fighting, Hai Song sank six Free NAF warships after paying for the sinking of a 3,000-ton destroyer. All the way towards the Great Lakes region, it rushed violently.
