Chapter 1684 Camp on the bomb
The United States has a good learning ability. It went to Europe to participate in the war, paid millions of casualties, and also trained a group of officers and soldiers with rich battlefield experience. This time, when Juno faced the Japanese army, he was slightly relaxed and suffered a big loss in the early stage, but the United States could still bear the loss of 100,000 people. At least nearly 60,000 of them were from Canada, and the United States' losses were only 40,000.
On the battlefield, facing the strong positions built by the enemy, and even without knowing what else there is in the position, exiting the battlefield is the most correct choice. The United States did not escape directly during the day, but insisted until night, retreating in an orderly manner under the night, and even retained considerable forces at the original position of the camp to prevent the Japanese army from pursuing in the dark. Such actions were already the limit of regular army operations. What the United States did not guard against was the tactics and special operations that he had not seen at all.
This is also the tragedy of the United States. The United States has never encountered attacks from special forces. No matter how strong his learning ability is, he faces attacks he has never encountered before. Perhaps he has only heard of it. However, on the European battlefield, there are countless new things, even the test of blood and fire every day. There are too many military things that Americans can learn. How can some things that have been heard occasionally, and unproven, attract the attention of Americans?
After all, when the United States went to the battlefield, Bordeaux's defense line was already intertwined, and the absolute positional war was warned. The closest place between the two sides was less than 30,000 kilometers, and the farthest place was less than 7 kilometers. Every day, machine gun fire was almost costly and tilted forward. Even if you had to launch a large-scale attack, you would have to prepare artillery fire for at least 2 hours. You could only attack after destroying the opponent's front-line defense position. Otherwise, with dense artillery fire and machine gun attack, it would be a nightmare for infantry, and you would die as much as you come.
In a sense, there is no living space for special forces on this frontal battlefield. With a small distance and sufficient firepower arrangement, both sides are building trenches frantically. Outside the trenches, a place that both sides can reach is very dangerous. Once there is any movement, any movement will attract countless machine guns and artillery, and even strategic artillery over 300 mm will be fired.
With the characteristics of special forces, infiltrating in the darkness of the night is his specialty, but on the battlefield of Bordeaux, sneak attacks and anti-sneakings have been extremely late by the Allies and the Allies. Even at night, both sides will shoot flares every once in a while and illuminate the surroundings. The time interval is quite short, almost a time for a person to run with all their might. In this case, there is no chance for special forces to attack. Even when passing through, because of luck, the impact of the past few on the entire line of defense is minimal.
After all, this is a line of defense for steel, and each area has a fixed position. Even if one or two of these soldiers are not opponents of special forces, and they will be easily killed by special forces, but as long as they are done, there will be traces and will always be discovered. This is different from the city or military station in the rear. This is a battlefield where war is strictly guarded and ready for war at any time. Once the special forces are discovered, even if there are one or two hundred, or even hundreds, in the past, facing tens of thousands of armed to the teeth, equipped with various weapons, and well-trained soldiers, these special forces will find it difficult to escape.
In this case, there is no difference between special forces and ordinary soldiers. In a sense, special forces are not as useful as ordinary soldiers. Even a simple special forces, the cost of training is more than ten times that of ordinary soldiers. On the battlefield of Bordeaux, hundreds of or even tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers died on the Bordeaux. As long as the combat purpose is achieved, the commander will not feel sorry for him at all, but carefully trained and selected the best special forces from various elite soldiers. With the million German troops, the current special forces have only risen to the division level, which is more than 20,000 people, of which the elite, that is, three or four thousand, have really killed hundreds of elite soldiers. Not to mention the former commander, even the Army Department will feel sorry for him.
According to China's guidance and Germany's own experience, the battlefield of special forces should be behind enemy lines, in places with sufficient combat depth, complex environment, and even large populations, rather than on the battlefield where steel and steel collided.
Of course, this is also a relationship that Germany has not learned. Although Germany has taught the tactics of special forces by China, it is only a primary level. Just like an airship, there is no advanced usage of aircraft. Special forces are not impossible to use on the battlefield, but mainly depends on the effect. The decapitation tactics of special forces have always been a hot topic in the field of special warfare in later generations. How to take the general's head among the troops is the only way to win quickly in the era of cold weapons. Even in the era of hot weapons, the command system of a unit is enough to destroy most of the combat effectiveness of this unit.
The well-trained troops, without the command of their superiors, can only play the role of small groups, which can easily be defeated by their opponents. Under this premise, in the current battle, Germany used sneak attacks on the Listener Plan. At that time, most of the candidates of the Listener Plan were destroyed in one fell swoop, causing an extremely huge blow to the Listener Plan in the UK. However, after the emergence of sonar, it finally proved that this action was only a few months' advantage.
Even Germany has not increased its application, so the United States certainly cannot come into contact with it. In this case, what the US military learned on the European battlefield was nothing more than a trench battle between large armies, and they did not realize what kind of tactics the special forces were. However, now, the Japanese are preparing to use this method, which the United States did not expect at all. Because of this unexpectedness, they suffered a great loss in the subsequent war.
The United States retreated 20 kilometers towards the front line of Alaska. On the one hand, it was waiting for the follow-up troops, and on the other hand, it set up camps. They did not expect that their location was actually deliberately left by Japan, and even arranged a brigade of Japanese troops around. This brigade was the kind of Japanese who had trained martial arts or swords from the army according to the concept of Chinese special forces, and conducted special field training. They trained in the fields of Alaska in the cold winter. Japan's cruelty was undoubtedly revealed. The mortality rate of this part of the specially trained special forces was as high as 15%, and the disability rate reached 17%.
Adding up the two, even if they did not go to the battlefield, the non-combat reduction was more than 30%. You should know that this is not an ordinary soldier. This is carefully selected from millions of soldiers. He is strong in physique or has a skill, but in order to achieve the task, the Japanese were extremely strict.
Perhaps, this is also related to the Japanese military tradition. It is this spirit that, under the premise that weapons and equipment and even basic concepts are not complete, the Japanese actually created a very terrifying special forces. They have a very good understanding of the surrounding environment. At this time, even if more than 1,300 Japanese soldiers lurked in the snow, the Americans still did not notice it. They hurriedly retreated to a place that is more suitable for building camps.
In fact, with the help of China, Japan took countless high-definition photos in this area, covering almost all the important locations in this area. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that the holographic maps are not an exaggeration. It is precisely this way that the places where the camps can be established are basically controlled by the Japanese. Moreover, before the arrival of the US military, Japan had already tampered with these places and sent special forces to observe them.
Sure enough, the US military chose one of them, not only was the Japanese army arranged in advance, but also the one with the most hands and feet. This shows that Japan is cruel. At least 2 tons of explosives were buried in 17 places where camping was possible, and this was also the result of being backed by China. Otherwise, with Japan's weak military production capacity, it would be almost impossible for them to arrange so many explosives.
The most unfortunate thing about the US military is that this place was analyzed by the staff teams of both China and Japan. The most likely place for US military is that not only twice the explosives in other places have been arranged, reaching 4 tons, but the distribution of the explosives is also quite balanced. Once detonated, it will be enough to blow the camp into the sky.
The US military has begun to set up camps. The well-trained US military is different from the Canadian army. They began to dig solid positions according to operating procedures. It was dark night. Fortunately, it was not too cold when summer was about to begin. They had to dig a trench deep enough to place wood and build a relatively strong camp. God knows whether the Japanese will come over.
Seeing the US military starting to dig, the Japanese army did not go east. In order to avoid discovering, 4 tons of things were buried at least 3 meters deep. Because there were too many, it would be very difficult to detonate with leads. Maybe some of them could not explode. Japan did not have China's awareness of explosions, nor did it have telexes and electronic detonators, so it was necessary to use artillery to attack several weak links, explode the gap, and then ignite the detonator. Finally, the explosives were exploding. The reasonable arrangement would make the explosion powerful enough.
The leaking sneak attack happened to be the role of the special forces. They carried large-caliber mortars with at least 150, which was considered to harass the US military camp. Even now, the US military is building a camp, but the camp is only solid and can be dug to 2 meters deep, which is considered good. 3 meters deep, which is almost impossible. If you go down alone and jump up, you may not be able to get the upper edge of the trench. In this case, the trench is not for combat purposes, but for cages.
Very confident about what they buried, Japan waited patiently, but it was not yet time. After a day of battle, these US troops were already quite tired. Under the circumstances of hunger and cold and the threat of the battlefield, they burst out with unimaginable will. Even if they attacked at this time, the effect would not be very high, unless they ignited those weak links.
However, for safety, even weak places are placed below 2.5 meters, which may not be so strong, and it is easy to break through under the attack of artillery, but this takes time. Once the US military reacts quickly and is not panicked, Japan may not be able to ignite these explosives. According to previous calculations and calculations, it will take at least 5 minutes to detonate this camp.
They can only wait, and people must comply with objective laws, and will cannot replace anything. When their camp is excavated and established, it is time for these US troops to rest, and that is the best time.
At night, at around 7 o'clock, the US troops evacuated one after another, about 6 hours. They arrived here at 1:00 a.m. and began to set up camps. It took 200,000 people three hours to build such a fixed camp under fatigue, which was built completely according to the requirements of the operation manual. From top to bottom, it was very perfect. Now, the US troops, who had been exhausted, began to fall asleep deeply. When the huge camp was shrouded in the night, the Japanese troops outside still did not move. It was only four o'clock in the morning, and an hour later, when the darkest time before dawn was the time for them to take action.
A brigade, close to 1,500 special forces, had been lurking in the wild for more than 17 hours. Before the US military retreated, it had already lurked here. It had not eaten or drunk for a long time. It was a great test for willpower. This was also the fundamental reason why the US military lost its vigilance. With enough patience, the lights in the US military camp did not change much, and it seemed to be a little brighter, but the sound in the camp seemed to have dropped a lot. Obviously, most of the US military had entered the water surface, and the Qiming star in front was rising high. Without looking at the watch, you already knew that the time for the attack had arrived.
There are almost 10 divisions stationed in this camp, with nearly 200,000 people. The 4 tons of explosives look very large, but not enough to cover the entire area. In this area, there are only 4 divisions sitting in the core area of the explosives. If the explosives are ignited alone, the result will be 100,000. The colonel's Japanese special forces commander is very greedy. He hopes for more. Therefore, in the dark, the determined tactics are used to use 15
0 120mm mortars, as the basis, raided the US military camps, and used blockers to seal the door to prevent the US military from running around, guided them to achieve the greatest results in a short period of time. Once there are enough personnel entering the core area, he will decisively detonate the explosives, completely blow up this core area of 40,000 tons, and kill the vast majority of the US military.
