Chapter 1670 American Winter
In modern wars, as long as the two sides are not at a certain level of generation difference, the opponent's efforts, the troops they have, and even the largest forces they can mobilize are almost all on the table. One side is really capable of hiding most of the troops, and the level of both sides is not at the same level at all. Just like the United States and Iraq during the Gulf War, one side is ready for land combat, but the other side does not fight land wars with him at all. The powerful tank power will be wiped out immediately under the asymmetrical blow of the air force. This is the generation difference of weapons.
However, in the First World War in the early 20th century, many data were estimated. Except for big guys like the naval battleship, it was impossible to hide. The remaining ones were hiding the forces of several divisions and hiding some strategic artillery. Many things were only inquired on the battlefield. Some even went to open and saw the opponent's combat power, and then they considered what changes had happened to the other party.
After all, the troops of several divisions cannot play a decisive role. Germany is strong enough. It is relatively small in Europe. However, Germany can form a one-to-two locally at most. In most cases, it is one-to-one-five. A little more will put a huge pressure on Germany. The more troops of several divisions will not have a very big impact on the battle line between millions of people, and it will not play a decisive role.
The United States also wants to inquire about what Japan has prepared here, but this is the winter in Canada, with temperatures below minus 12 degrees Celsius, and it also needs to cross the Rocky Mountains. This is an extremely dangerous and highly mortality project in later generations, even in later generations, survival and extreme sports, crossing the Rocky Mountains in winter, is an extremely dangerous and highly mortality project, not to mention sending a reconnaissance team, in the wild, the sent personnel, even if they are well-trained, will die as many people as they have.
The Americans would not think so at all, but the Americans would not know that when they were preparing, Japan was still preparing. Not only did they mobilize more troops, but they also built a steel defense line and established a line of defense of at least 5,000 kilometers in total. There were as many as 7 lines of defense, even two of which were enough to accommodate more than 3 million people to fight.
This is a terrible data. In other words, even if the United States has worked hard to break through Japan's first two defense lines and the distance from Juno is further away, Japan can retreat into the back line of defense. This way, the effect of breaking through the first two defense lines is greatly reduced. If you want to break through the entire defense line, you have to deal with 7 defense lines. God knows whether there will be defense lines behind it. This is all a problem.
The Americans knew that Japan was stabilizing its defense, which was expected before, but they did not expect that Japan's defense line was so large, and under such a strong defense line, Japan was still filling these defense lines as much as possible. In the early stage, the personnel who arrived in Alaska, in addition to some of the working people working hard to build buildings and defense lines, the remaining young and middle-aged people will draw out some of them and join in the training. In the future, they will become infantrymen who have undergone preliminary training and then fill in this defense line.
The function of the defense line is to minimize the difficulty of soldiers. Some well-trained soldiers are not that different from well-trained infantry on the fixed battlefield of the defense line. After all, they are all lying in trenches to shoot. As long as the shooting skills are reasonable, the others can be weakened a little. These soldiers can not train a variety of subjects, and even physical training can be weakened. As long as they can shoot and know how to execute orders, they can be stuffed into the trenches and become qualified soldiers.
This is a practice of eagerness for quick success and instant benefits. It means that these soldiers can only play a role in the defense line. Once they leave the defense line, the soldiers in this part will not be much higher than civilians. Not to mention one-on-one, even one-on-two, one-on-three, when they encounter well-trained troops, they are all a dish. This is an extremely irresponsible approach in any army, but it has become a natural practice for Japan. It needs to ensure the solidity of the entire defense line and the necessary time can be used to exchange human lives for the opportunity to defend the defense line.
Japan is very clear about the difference between the United States. First of all, it puts itself in the position of a weak person. Without the unique environment of Canada and the severe cold here, they don’t even have the strength to fight with the United States, let alone defend Alaska. Now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of you, let alone a great chance, even if it is only one percent possible, they have to put in 100% effort.
In this way, the prelude of the war began to appear. The United States and Japan, across Canada, began preparations for the war. One side was a powerful industrial country. The United States' industrial strength was the leader in the entire world except China. Germany, Britain and France combined, which was similar to the United States. The United States had the qualification to support the entire Allied Power. Compared with the United States, Japan is too far behind, and it may only have a fraction of its output value. However, Japan also has advantages. It has a rich population and a war tradition. The most important thing is that with China's support, Japan has a very good choice. Japan is still crossing the ocean and has the advantage of geographical advantage. It has to be said that Japan's life is really good.
Even China, before this, did not expect that the final development would be like this. It can be said without hesitation that as long as the fight starts, it is easy to have the same state as Europe. In a stalemate between the two sides, even if the United States is not prepared for such a state and is not making a protracted war, as long as the war begins, it will inevitably suffer a great loss. Whether the losses will be huge depends on whether the Americans wake up in time.
I never thought that the front line of defense would be armed to the teeth. Japan used tens of millions of national strength to create another 5 million troops under the premise of China's large losses. Such mobilization ability is unimaginable in the United States. In principle, there are still subtle differences between different countries. The United States is slightly worse. It is very difficult for the United States to mobilize more than 10 million troops with a population of more than 10 million. However, Japan has less than 60 million people, and the previous and previous troops mobilized more than 8 million, and there is still spare force.
Winter is here. As a region at high latitudes, all regions outside the oceanic climate, the temperature in the inland Canada has already dropped below minus 10 degrees Celsius. The heavy snow seems to have not melted much after it has come down. There is a white world everywhere. The cold current formed by the huge Canada will affect the entire United States along the entire American continent. In the early 20th century, the temperature was very low without a greenhouse effect.
In such a white world, neither the United States nor Canada will choose to send troops. Even if the US troops are one step away from the Rocky Mountains, they have stopped. They must ensure that they are sending troops when spring comes. That is to say, Japan has a correct choice and will have at least 8 months of preparation time. As long as this time is made good use of Japan, Japan will establish a solid line of defense to offset the difference in combat effectiveness between the US military.
Juno, even in winter, is not so cold, because he is very close to the seaside and is affected by the ocean climate, the temperature difference between the four seasons is not too large. However, this refers to the coastal areas. The temperature in winter is higher, and the deeper it goes into the inland, the more harsh it becomes. Especially when setting up defense lines, considering the problem of sea attacks, he chose a place closer to the inland, which is basically in the slow attack of the mountains. The climate conditions in winter are quite harsh. The white background has not stopped since the beginning of winter. However, at this time, the Japanese in yellow military uniforms worked on the frozen soil like ants.
I don't know how many times this has been. The steam has evaporated and the temperature of the frozen soil has risen a little. Most of the outdoor work has been completed before the beginning of winter. Currently, it is just a repair work, and even most of the work is indoors. However, if you want to survive in the severe cold, it is impossible to not have enough conditions to protect the cold.
China, which was prepared, provided the Japanese with 15 million sets of cotton coats, as well as a lot of cold-proof equipment, and a large amount of coal excavation to fill the front line. In winter, they barely started working. Although in winter, the efficiency of work cannot be compared with that in summer, the Japanese knew that at most, at least 4 million troops would be pressed on this line of defense at the beginning of next spring. If they could not stop it, Japan's foundation in Alaska would shake. The Japanese believed in the combat effectiveness of their army, but the United States was even stronger. If they broke the defense line, even if they could defend some of Alaska, they could not develop Alaska and could only devote themselves to endless struggles.
So for the Japanese, there is only one road in Huashan. If the Americans cannot be blocked by this line of defense, everything that follows cannot be said, but if it blocks it, it will be clear. With the help of the geographical advantage, the United States cannot attack from the northern part of Alaska. There are not only a large number of mountains, but also a 20 highest peaks in the United States, 17 of which are located in Alaska. The north is not only a place with plateaus, but also a place with bitter and cold. Even in summer, the temperature is not too high. If the cooling is slightly reduced, a cold wave will come, which is not suitable for attack. (To be continued.)
