The Americans thought of many ways to break through the Japanese defense line. However, in the era of hot weapons, after the emergence of trenches and barbed wire, when defense is stronger than attack, many tactics in the war were to mobilize the enemy. They would never choose to siege the city if they had no choice. Even in the siege, they would choose various tactics to weaken the city's defense.

This also refers to a city's real strategic defensive position. It is a huge land of 80 kilometers, ranging from 5,000 square kilometers, and for the purpose of combat, building a series of defensive positions. All of these positions are not isolated, and they are very closely connected with each other. There is no weakness of the city at all, but it has been strengthened to the extreme. However, the positions of thousands of square kilometers are almost spread around Juneau, with a huge range of 80 kilometers and a range of more than 5,000 square kilometers. It is just the outer defense line, which has been armed to the teeth, making people feel numb. To a certain extent, it is even more terrifying than the Bordeaux front in Europe.

It is precisely because of the results of the continuous fire reconnaissance of the US military that proved that there were almost no blind spots on the periphery of this line of defense. From this, it is inferred that if you want to take Juno, almost all of these methods will suffer too much. Even if it is the most optimistic estimate, it will take at least 2.5 million casualties for the US military to seize this line of defense. The United States does not have to bear this casualty number, but does this mean that the war situation in Alaska ends?

The possibility is not great. After all, Juno is just the capital of Alaska that the United States was previously deployed by the United States. Not to mention how important the location was, it is closest to the United States, with a relatively suitable environment and a large population. However, after the Japanese occupied it, Japan will definitely not continue to use Juno as the capital of Alaska according to geographical differences. It is too close to the United States and Canada, and it is possible to attack at any time. This shows that Japan's goal is very simple, and it is planned to destroy Juno, with millions or even nearly ten million troops. It is a crazy battle here, even if it can be taken down, it will not be the case.

It is almost certain that Japan will be placed deeper in Alaska in Alaska. At that time, after fighting Juno, it will continue to attack. This means that the attack is smooth. If the attack is not too smooth, the number of casualties may even reach more than 5 million. I don’t expect any other way, and I even really have to give up Alaska as someone said before.

Alaska cannot give up, and the strong attack cannot be done, so we can only think of other ways. At this time, shirk responsibility and discuss why the battle did not begin to come out last winter, and the Army Department became chaotic. At this time, a young general suddenly proposed a plan. Perhaps, you can think of tanks.

This young general of the Army was only 39 years old, but was a young general of the Army. He served as the commander of the 118th Division. He happened to be involved in the offensive and defensive battle of the Bordeaux tanks. Although he was an army division, he was following the tanks. At that time, he was lucky to follow the undamaged tanks and witness the power of the tanks in the trench war.

When a tank entered the trench, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In a short period of time, it burst out with such powerful strength. 20,000 tanks, even if only one-tenth of the tanks entered the defense line, it caused huge lethality. Such power was unheard of. However, Germany was well prepared and took out something that specifically restrained the tanks. Even if the impact of 20,000 tanks could still destroy most of the tanks. The coalition suffered huge losses and had almost no ability to start and cut off, which made 1916 so calm.

This is the Japanese, and there is no rocket launcher here. If the tank is brought over, can the problem be solved? In the previous offensive and defensive battles, even if Japan was suddenly attacked by the team and caused huge losses, it did not use even a slight rocket launcher. Or there are few rocket launchers, only in the core area, but a greater possibility is that there is no.

If Germany had no bazooka, not to mention 20,000 tanks, even 2,000 tanks could pose a huge threat to Bordeaux's defense line. Most generals of the US military knew that since the tank appeared on the battlefield, various exercises would not stop. Even when the tanks were subjected to the absolute nemesis of the rocket, there was no exception, because in the new US officers, the infinite possibilities of tanks were seen. Tanks were just the initial form. Once the tank's strength was improved, the threat of the bazooka would be greatly reduced.

It has to be said that the Americans still have a war vision. They actually saw the future development from the most superficial tanks, which neither Britain nor Germany did. The former is a naval country, and there is no more urgent requirement for land combat weapons. As for the latter, Germany was the one who received the greatest help from China in this war. When facing the crisis of tanks, they directly obtained the bazooka shipped by China urgently. The huge power of the bazooka made the tanks that spent huge financial resources turn into scrap iron. At this time, the deeper they understand the power of the bazooka, the deeper they are in the disgust of the tanks.

A tank worth nearly 10,000 US dollars may be easily destroyed by a bazooka costing hundreds of dollars. Not to mention personnel, even the economic losses are a bit unbearable. Instead of doing this, it is better to get more bazooka. Germany is deeply trapped in the war, and the two major spenders of the army and the navy, they finally chose to ignore the tank.

On the contrary, the United States, which is also a major army power, has seen the extraordinary nature of tanks. Now, perhaps it is still in the stage of exploration, but it will definitely shine in the future. Sometimes, the difference in equipment is such forward-looking, precisely because the United States has never completely let go of the tank project, which has also made the future development of American tanks very fast.

The proposal of this young general not only made the problems that plagued them seem to show signs of loosening. The most important thing is that the current tanks have been in production. They were originally produced for the European battlefield and assembled to change some cavalry units, form tank divisions, accumulate experience, and in addition, a batch was produced.

The young brigade general was the senior general who was the most familiar with tanks and had the deepest understanding of tanks. After some discussion, the plan he proposed became increasingly full. Some experts in this regard also roughly calculated that to break through the Japanese defense line, the general number of tanks needed was about 20,000. This was the lowest number made through careful comparison.

20,000 vehicles, this is really not a small number. Back then, Britain and the United States prepared 50,000 tanks for the Battle of Bordeaux, of which almost 20,000 were invested on the battlefield. However, this weapon that was highly expected to effectively break the trench was hit by a devastating blow on the front line of Bordeaux. China took out the bazooka, a big killer weapon. Even if the current bazooka has some weaknesses, this bazooka has not grown to the point of being as mature as the Arg, but it exceeded the number of arrangements and killed all the tanks like raindrops.

This attack was like a scoundrel, hitting directly above seven inches of the Allied Powers. No one mentioned the remaining tanks, either parts or finished products, but the final result was the same, and no one cared about these things.

However, this time, the United States' plan was made more meticulously. The weakness of the bazooka is that it is impossible to arrange too many in the same area. When there are really a large number of bazooka, choose weak links through harassment and transfer. As long as the tank can rush into the army camp and mingle with the other party, and not give the bazooka time to launch, this problem can be solved, but the loss is a little larger.

But even such losses are much better than using the army to attack. In the current situation of war development, the United States is not short of materials or weapons, and the one that is most lacking is people. War has reached a very high level of demands on people. Agriculture needs people, industry needs people, and the army needs people. Faced with the threat from Japan, the United States has mobilized all the troops in the army, but it seems that people are still not enough.

At present, the United States has turned all its economic structure to wartime situations, and military production has expanded by almost several times compared to before. It was not easy to produce so many tanks in the past. Now, as long as the production line is re-organized and personnel adjustments are completed, tanks can be continuously produced.

For the sake of Bordeaux sneak attack plan, the Allies prepared a total of 50,000 tanks. Putting aside the 20,000 tanks destroyed, most of the remaining ones were in the United Kingdom and staying in the United States. They had not yet been shipped away, but about 12,000 vehicles. At this time, all of these had been assembled and used for training. After that, 3,000 vehicles were produced one after another. The current number of tanks in the US Army is about 14,000.

The fundamental reason why it is not 15,000 vehicles is that even during training and use, the failure rate of the tank is not low, and most of it can be repaired, but if the key components are damaged, such as the engine, the tank will have no value for maintenance.

After the tank war, the United States also obtained engines through China's channels, but without much demand, it did not increase the number. There is now a gap of 6,000 to 10,000. They avoided the source cut after the Chinese discovered it. Despite the inventory of 3,000 engines, they ordered another 30,000 units at once. (~^~)
