Chapter 1694 Suspected armored force
The tanks shocked the Japanese investigators, especially the huge roar and overwhelming momentum. The investigator didn't know that what he encountered was only part of the huge US tank unit, but the feeling of a prehistoric beast almost scared the Japanese special forces to death. He didn't even dare to get closer.
If you get closer, you may not be able to see anything. In order to keep it confidential, the US tank troops implemented quite strict controls. The entire army could only turn off the lights and drive under the vague moonlight. The outlines could be seen, but this day was really not a good day. The thick clouds blocked the starlight and moonlight, and it was pitch black and there was nothing to see.
Out of intuition, or in other words, the courage was scared. The Japanese special forces did not take action, but quickly left the area and transmitted the message to the rear overnight through the company's radio.
The US military has not launched an attack for more than a month. They seem to be constantly building, as if they have regarded this place as a position. The construction of a large number of trenches and defensive positions has made the US military camps increasingly stable. At the beginning, the Japanese side was not worried that time was on the side of the Japanese. If the Americans did not attack Juno between spring, summer and autumn, he would lose his last chance. In just 7 months, Japan formed a solid defense line in Juneo. In a year, behind Juno, among the large number of mountains and ridges in Alaska, countless Japanese were still building positions. It was a strategic national position, and some of them were even above Juno.
After all, Juno is a position built in a hurry under the pressure of the Americans. Even because the winter in Alaska is too cold, many places pursue speed rather than quality. They look solid defense, but compared with the defense line built behind Juno, it is somewhat inferior. It takes a full 10 months, and most of them are built in high temperatures such as spring, summer and autumn. His scale is even larger and his protective strength is even more crazy.
The Japanese waited with peace of mind, except for the front line, the rest even started a series of rotations. After 3 months of training for recruits, new recruits who barely meet the military standards can be filled into the defense line. The remaining elite troops will be listed separately for forming separate troops.
On the premise of feeling good about themselves, the special forces suddenly reported a huge convoy. The huge roar and black shadow felt very unusual. This news attracted the attention of the Japanese. After all, Japan only defeated the Americans' first wave of attacks. The total loss of the United States was only a few hundred thousand. Compared with the huge territory and population of the United States, this loss was nothing at all. Why didn't they take action?
Some people also suggested that the Americans are preparing stronger moves, but this opinion has not been widely recognized. The geographical advantage of Alaska is quite obvious. In previous investigations, it has been clearly shown that if the United States wants to get from its homeland to Alaska, it is not easy to transport some large-caliber artillery. The reason why the United States stopped was also related to this. After all, the 4 million group charge was under great logistical pressure.
This place is different from Europe. On the battlefield of Bordeaux, Germany relies on the developed railways of Germany, Belgium and France, and the emergency highways, which ultimately guarantees the logistics supply of the huge army. On the part of the Allies, it is through sea transportation and airdrops of some airships. Even so, it cannot guarantee that large-scale attacks are launched every day. Now, the US fleet is destroyed, before the new ships are launched, or when large-scale warships are not arranged to the Pacific Ocean,
They do not have the ability to attack at sea. They can only rely on land. Under the complex terrain conditions of the Rocky Mountains, the logistical pressure in the United States is amplified to ensure the survival of 4 million people or rely on the continuous transportation throughout the winter. On the contrary, Japan, on the contrary, Alaska's output and the construction of some roads, and even in emergencies, there are aircraft transportation. In addition, the defense itself consumes less than the attacking party, so the Japanese have an absolute advantage in logistics.
Any new tactics and weapons require logistics. On the premise that the logistics hole is stuck in the United States, the tactics that Americans can think of are quite limited. Perhaps they are unwilling to fail and insist on it here. When winter comes, if there is no improvement, they should withdraw from the war with dignity.
However, now, the report sent back by the Special Forces Scouts proves that the views of the few people before were correct. The United States has never given up on this war. They have been preparing for this war. Now, they have finally sent these things to the front line of Juno.
Although I don’t know what it is, the premise that the scouts emphasize their power is definitely a weapon specifically targeting fortresses and trenches. The Japanese couldn’t figure out what this weapon was. The more unknown it is, the more terrifying it is. For this reason, the Japanese quickly reported the news to the Chinese side without any results when they discussed it themselves.
The Chinese commander was also very surprised when he received this news. To be honest, the actions of the Americans were quite unusual, which was completely different from the characteristics of the United States they mastered. Unlike the blind optimism of the Japanese, the Americans suffered a fantasy-level blow and lost a series of cities along Wall Street and the Atlantic coast. Even the Panama Canal and Fleet were hit hard, and they had to give up all strategic areas in the Pacific, including Hawaii. In such a harsh situation, the Americans did not surrender, actively expanded their military preparations, and even crazily produced battleships, which proved the resilience of the Americans.
In this case, the attack was abandoned after losing several divisions, which was difficult to explain. Moreover, there was another problem. After losing a large number of troops for the first time, the Americans did not retreat to the base camp, but arranged large-scale troops to test small groups of troops, and sacrificed a lot of sacrifices for this. The Japanese were obsessed with victory after victory, but China clearly saw from the actions of the Americans that it was a reconnaissance. The United States had basically figured out the arrangements of the Japanese on the defense line, and there would definitely be some actions in the future.
However, for a month, the Americans have not taken action. In the eyes of the Japanese, the United States is bluffing, but in the eyes of the Chinese, the United States is accumulating some kind of strength. Now it is finally here, and the Chinese commander also hopes to know what the United States has taken out.
Because it was at night, the investigators did not get close to the United States, and only had a rough judgment. At the first time, the judgment might be a kind of mobile force. The one that could come up at this time was probably armor, but the commander had never experienced the European war. This kind of tank, which was significantly different from China's armored forces. Coupled with the deviations in reporting by the Japanese special forces, it sounded like a large tractor and the sound was very similar.
Here, this is Canada, and there is a deserted Canada everywhere. Large-scale tractors are useless here. Then there is only one possibility, which is military use. Tanks, after the term rises from the commander's heart, in some cases, the most lethal force for fixed positions is armored power. Even if it is just the initial armored power, it will pose a fatal threat to the defense line.
Seeing the Chinese commander's face changed, Japanese Prince Fumimi Sadae Miya was a little nervous. The United States had not been moving for so long, and he thought the Americans were afraid. Now, looking at the attitude of the Chinese, it is obvious that the Americans have brought out extraordinary weapons. In this case, it may be a huge threat to Japan's defense line. How could he not worry?
"Zhang Sang, please tell me what those are!"
"Tank, maybe, my intelligence here is incomplete, and I need more and more detailed information!" Chinese commander Zhang Tianyou said with a gloomy face. Any armored force is a huge threat to the current trenches and fixed defense lines. Perhaps the reinforced and integrated bunkers can withstand the invasion of tanks, but in the bunkers, there is no huge threat to the tanks, which means that the tanks can freely rage on the position. When all the attached infantry are dead, how much function does the remaining bunkers have? Infantry can clean the bunkers at will under the cover of tanks, which is nothing more than time.
The attention of the Chinese staff team made Japan very panicked, especially the information China said was incomplete. It was only 200 kilometers away. They almost sent out all the special forces that could be sent out. Not only did they have to figure out how many such forces the United States has come, but they also wanted to figure out what this thing was.
In the dark night, to figure it out, flares must be used. This is no less than letting infantry and tanks compete in a duel nearby. The Chinese side knows the Japanese's approach. The Japanese army responsible for the attack will never survive, but as long as they can figure out the intelligence, it's not bad to sacrifice some.
Only by figuring out what this thing is can we arrange it in a targeted manner. Even if they know it a little later, the convoy is less than 200 kilometers away from their front line. However, as long as they know, they can prepare, instead of being suddenly taken out by the other party during the battle and being caught off guard. Obviously, this so-called tank has great significance for the US military. Otherwise, the Americans would not be so careful and spend a huge price to send this thing to the Juno front line.
