Chapter 1705 US reinforcements

After entering the US military camp, Delvede was resting. He was a young officer without the extremely strict habit of the old-fashioned one. After clearing the tanks that could be used, he hesitated. Although 8,000 tanks, although one-third of them may be used, can only attack the Juno line of defense. Such small-scale fights do not fit his ideas. They may play a little role and make a little contribution. Compared with breaking the rules, achieving phased victory, or even final victory, it is not a little bit worse.

He gave up his comfortable work in the rear and took the initiative to undertake this main attack mission. He didn't even have the subsequent tanks in place. He only carried 12,000 tanks and took the initiative to attack. Delverde was a very knowledgeable person, but no successful adventurer took risks at every time. When he was not taking risks, he was the most conservative. He had to ensure that he had enough chips in his hand when he was taking risks.

Delvede was hesitating whether to tentatively fight or take risks. When the two were swaying, another important news came, and a routine contact messenger came from the other side of the Rocky Mountains. A small tank convoy of 400 tanks was departing at the other end of the Rocky Mountains.

Of course, this batch of reinforcements is not reinforcements. With the US's big investment, the first batch of reinforcements is at least 20,000 tanks. This is the established policy of the US military. According to the current productivity, these tanks can be sent to the front line in up to two months.

The source of the 400 tanks is actually those abandoned tanks. Due to emergency marching and military information, most of the abandoned tanks are more damaged tanks, but a small number of tanks are only difficult to maintain and require a lot of time. The United States seems to have given up on this part of the vehicles, but in fact, they are only placed centrally and left for subsequent personnel to deal with.

Even if it is a wealthy United States, a tank worth tens of thousands of dollars, it is impossible for it to give up so many at once. The tank troops are short of personnel, but there are still many subsequent US troops. They dispatched personnel to send these tanks back according to the tank troops' notifications.

For the tank troops, these tanks were very troublesome and dragged down the speed of the entire team, but for the army, there was no problem. In fact, they were sent to a temporary camp 300 kilometers away one after another, and some logistics personnel and engineers were left there. After more than ten days of hard work, it was really hard to find a repairable one, and then put together and repair them. They pieced together 400 tanks that they could repair.

400 tanks are relatively small compared to the total of 8,000 vehicles, but under the current circumstances, even 400 tanks are a considerable force at this time. This news has become the last important weight. For Delvede, the personnel on the left and right sides cannot launch an attack, so he simply waited for a while. The total number of 400 tanks is small and the target is small. They do not have to lie down and walk at night. Although they set off 12 days later than them, they save a lot of time on land. After all, when within 300 kilometers, the US armored corps only traveled at a speed of sixty or seventy kilometers a day, and the speed of 400 tanks can reach 170 kilometers per hour. It is expected to arrive five days after their arrival.

Although Delvede didn't know when the Japanese side discovered the tank, it can be seen from the current contact that the other party did not have a rocket launcher, otherwise it would have been used long ago. In the dark, they knew their location and launched a sneak attack, the rocket launcher had a huge lethality.

However, the Japanese used human bombs, not rockets. Otherwise, even if the US military was confident, they saw with their own eyes that Germany used countless rockets to directly drive nearly 20,000 tanks into scrap iron, and only a small number of tanks survived. If the Japanese had rocket launchers in their hands, even if there were only a few dozen, they would not be used. Otherwise, even if there were only 50, the losses of the armored troops would increase at least several times in that attack. Only 50 rockets could be fired within 1 minute, and even at night, it would be enough to cause more than 120 losses, which was more than twice the previous one.

According to the forces Japan used in Alaska, even small-scale equipment, 50 units were too small, 1,000 units, or even 5,000 units, Germany was on the front line, with at least more than 300,000 units. From this point of view, it is enough to calculate that there is no rocket launcher on the front line of Alaska.

If we continue to infer from this point, now that Japan discovers that the United States uses tanks, it will definitely be possible to know from China that the bazooka is the strongest weapon to deal with tanks. In order to protect the defense line, Japan will definitely import the bazooka from China. Even if it is transported from China, it will take at least more than 20 days. After deducting 5 days, there will be 15 days of attack, which is enough for them to take down the entire Juno defense line. This time is still waiting.

Delvede didn't know that he wasted his last chance. If they attacked desperately on the day of arrival, the Japanese tank trench had not been completely completed, and the Japanese did not master the means of dealing with tanks, it would definitely have miraculous effects. It might not be able to occupy the entire Juno's defense line, but it could cause heavy damage to Japan. Once Japan's losses exceed one million, or even 1.5 million, Japan will inevitably fall into a weak position in the future competition with the United States, and it will not even be able to defend the Juno's defense line.

In the war, there is no if, and it cannot be said that Delverde did something wrong, but China and Japan have better response strategies. China's depth of research on armor power is far beyond the imagination of the United States, and even some Americans have not realized the protection methods have been taught to Japan by China. The sudden arrangement of the United States only made Japan a little panic. Japan's most missed time. However, as long as the time exceeds 5 days or even 7 days, a large number of tank trenches are arranged in place, at least thousands of anti-aircraft machine guns of various caliber are arranged in various places. Perhaps on the periphery, it has not been fully arranged, which is not enough to block the torrent of the United States' armor. However, it is definitely enough on the core position. As long as the stability of the core position is held, this is the foundation of Juno as solid as a rock.

This is also the only way for Japan to destroy Kawasaki Mikyu, the elite that had just been trained, to hold back the US armored forces for 7 days. Even if it is to fight all the divisions under Kawasaki Mikyu, even if it is a waste of time.

Of course, the Japanese senior management knew that compared with the US armored forces, the divisions under Kawasaki Mikai were not a little worse than those of the US military. If they had to delay for a few days, they might have to fight all of them. However, as the senior management, they must be willing to sacrifice and fight several divisions, or even more than a dozen divisions, and gain a vital seven days for the rear, which is enough to ensure the stability of Juno. If it cannot be achieved, Japan cannot stay in Juno for too much. It will retain some troops in Juno to drag the US armored forces, and then retreat hundreds of kilometers away to the second line of defense.

For current armored forces, distance is the biggest problem. From Vancouver to Juno, only more than one thousand kilometers, one-third of the tanks will be completely trapped. A few dozen kilometers later, the US tanks will continue to be damaged, and Japan will have enough time to build tank trenches and various defense methods. Only when one rises and the other goes down can Japan block the US attack.

Unfortunately, the Juno defense line took 7 months to build, and giving up rashly is always a loss. Therefore, Japan has arranged the Juno defense plan in such a dilemma. However, the US military gave them time. The more time delayed, the more calm their mentality became. There were layers of tank trenches in front of the middle defense line, and targeted training for armored forces continued. We only waited for the US military to attack before testing the quality.

About three days later, after the reconnaissance plane expanded its reconnaissance scope, it finally discovered that the convoys of tanks coming from the outside were not large, only 400. With the wealth of the United States, it would definitely not be a reseller. After a moment of thinking, it was thought that the US military had 20,000 vehicles when it set off, and only 8,000 vehicles reached Juno. It was obvious that 4,000 were abandoned, and the proportion of abandoned was quite large. Obviously, this part might have been urgently repaired during this period, so he understood the choice of the US military. The US military must have some reasons, waiting for more tanks. 400 vehicles are not a small force, and it seems that 400 tanks have been added, but in fact, they missed the most critical fighter jet. It is unknown how far things will develop.

Five days later, 400 tanks entered the camp. They were very fast, traveling 12 hours a day, about 160 kilometers. From a camp above 400 kilometers away from Juno, it took 3 days to reach the front line. The most important thing is that after entering the attack camp within 30 kilometers, it still needs to be repaired and debugged. For the engineers, the largest number of tanks can enter the battlefield to achieve the best effect. Fortunately, they have already rested in a few days, the armored troops have recovered their combat effectiveness, and the time for the general attack has finally arrived, and the time is set on the fifth day after Delverde arrived at the US military camp.
