Chapter 1718: Attack the Nameless Heights
War is so cruel, especially for both countries, it is a battle to bet on national destiny. Victory is related to the future. Of course, it is not hesitant to reward if you win. This is how Miyan Kawasaki is. From a not very famous officer without any background, he has become a hot figure in the entire army. As long as there is no big problem, he will walk steadily. In the future, a marshal should be fine. At the worst, he is also a general, standing at the absolute top of the Japanese army.
In contrast, even before coming to Juno, his growth trajectory was completely different. He was more stable and more outstanding than Kawasaki Miyan, but Delverde was another extreme. He did not achieve his mission and his career was completely cut in half here. The best result was a deduction of 10 years later. However, in the end, even though his background was relatively deep, the United States itself suffered a huge blow and even collapsed, of course, like an abandoned person, he was completely thrown into the pile of history.
At most tens of thousands of morning and noon, Japan has been worried about these tanks. From the tanks verified from China, it learned that the price of a tank made by the United States was at least 50,000 US dollars, or even as high as 70,000 US dollars. Japan does not have the ability to equip these, and seizure is the only possibility.
For several hours, Japan was worried, but in the end, the US military did not attack these tanks, as if it was abandoned and lost here. This was the best thing for Japan. They were also worried that nearly 300 tanks had been seized at once, and the US military would definitely be prepared. This time, the main thing was to pit the tanks as many as the tanks could be pitted. The rest was left to fate. Anyway, after this battle, they would launch night attacks at night and take down the position that originally belonged to Kawasaki Miyan, thus forming a stable fulcrum.
In this case, even the tanks that have been attacked by artillery have the value of maintenance. They will no longer be rescued as easily as they are in the high ground in front of them. The rest will be put aside, and all the things related to the tank will be taken over. I am afraid that any part of the tank will be kept as long as the part is still intact, and the tank can be revitalized by patching and repairing.
In this way, the repair rate will greatly increase. When China recovered 294 tanks, it used a simple and crude method, and in the shortest time and the most effective method, the number of tanks that could be brought over was as many as the tanks as possible. At that time, the Chinese official was a little regretful and did not rescue more. Now, after taking down the nameless highland, the main plains were under the absolute control of Japan, and dragging them away.
In this way, even if you get a few, 300 of 1,000 or even 1,500 tanks can be obtained. Adding to the previous 300, this is a big number. Even in a certain state, when the US military uses tanks to attack, they can counterattack, charge backwards on the US camps, and even directly attack the US camps, giving the US military a little color.
However, what I didn't expect was that the long-awaited artillery fire did not come. Now the Japanese side was a little skeptical. Could it be that it was the American conspiracy to use the Americans to try to use the tanks to transfer or clean up the tanks, destroying the tanks and destroying the people who operated the tanks.
In itself, Japan was suspicious and did not dare to attack the tanks. It was ready to take down the nameless high ground. However, the explanation from the Chinese staff was like seeing the Japanese and American artillery battles. In the artillery battle between Japan and the United States, the United States was in a stalemate, but in the later stage, due to the huge losses, it was impossible to effectively attack these tanks. When the US troops retreated, there was no retaliatory artillery fire, this is the scientific statement.
Although Japan has received intelligence support from China and also knows the total number of American artillery, from the habits, Japan has not yet formed the ability to analyze and advise. They just saw one, but they don’t know that the one, two, three, and four behind the orders have excellent execution ability. Most officers have no analytical ability. After China’s points, Japan seems to have been in a dream, and it really has taken so many tanks. Not to mention that it is based on the previous seizure ratio, even if it is a little worse than the previous seizure ratio, maybe the total number of tanks seized by the Japanese this time will exceed one thousand.
This is a huge number. According to a tank of 50,000 US dollars, the value of Japan's seizures for the tank itself alone exceeded 50 million US dollars. Whether in the past or now, this is a considerable number, enough to move the entire Juneau East Line troops.
Even if the 300 tanks in front were sent to each army, there were only a few. At close contact with these tanks also made Japan feel ready. This is a king of land warfare. In the army, there are few that can threaten it, but it has thick armor and sufficient speed. Just like the heavy cavalry in the cold weapon era in the past, this heavy cavalry is almost unsolvable under the premise that the horsepower is not exhausted. To a certain extent, the unsolvable nature of the tank is even more than that of the heavy cavalry. After all, the heavy cavalry cannot block the horse's feet, and it can be easily dealt with with a hook and sickle gun. However, the tank has no simple weapon, and the tank trench is just a temporary solution.
Even if Japan really wanted to get these tanks, it was still stable. After all, this place was not a completely controlled area by Japan. The US artillery fire could cover it at any time. Previously, the Chinese staff analyzed that the US artillery was hit by a certain blow in the battle with Japan. But who knows when the US military could restore its original state, with the resilience shown by the US military before, this possibility is not lacking, it is still very large.
Suddenly, while they were transferring the tanks, they used the remaining and repaired artillery fire to cover them with the remaining artillery fire. Perhaps these coverages, for these tanks, tanks with strong skin and thick flesh, can withstand this attack, but the invited Chinese drivers will be dangerous when moving the tanks. Japan dare not bet, the US military will definitely not respond, and China cannot joke with the driver.
At present, taking advantage of the fact that the US artillery was affected and unable to play a role, the importance of the nameless highland has actually increased to a very high level at this moment. Even these Japanese troops launched an attack before night time. Even if they paid a huge price, they had to take the position.
The Japanese army is ready-made on this front line, and there are even some tunnels and trenches that can be used to organize their forces immediately and start counterattacks. The US military is prepared for the nameless high ground, but Japan has been unable to provide comprehensive protection for the entire nameless high ground under the premise of burying a large number of landmines. In addition to today's defeat, to a certain extent, the morale of the US military is already at the bottom of the valley. Even during the day, when the established Japanese army, with the support of artillery, began to charge towards the nameless high ground, the result was already destined.
In just 2 and a half hours, the Japanese army had taken down the entire nameless highland, used 40,000 shells, and some channels arranged before, annihilated 3,000 US troops, and lost more than 3,500. This was already a low point on the main attacking side.
The Japanese army basically occupied the nameless highland, but it still takes time to fully arrange the mines. Even if it is placed in the 21st century, it is a very troublesome thing. It is simple to arrange. If a soldier is trained and there are mines, it can easily arrange a minefield. However, it is quite inconvenient to clean up this minefield. Mechanical repair is really difficult for the many types of mines in later generations. Many times, manpower must be relied on, and even news of minesweeping soldiers die every year.
Even if Japan is the arranger, it is very difficult for him to clear this mine formation. It is very pleasant to arrange it, and it is extremely difficult to clean it up. Even Japan is no exception. Perhaps in the war, the warrior can make a desperate attack, but outside the war, a warrior rushes into the minefield without changing his face. This is even a crazy decision, no one dares to make a decision.
Fortunately, the tanks left in the plain area became Japan's possession. This is the fundamental reason why Japan's crazy attack on the nameless highlands, spending huge casualties, and eventually taking down this nameless highland. If it takes down it, nothing else matters.
When the Japanese artillery fired, it was known in the US base that the Japanese army had won the fruit of victory before it was heated up. This feeling lingered in the hearts of every senior US military. Unfortunately, they had no way at this moment. Most of the long-range artillery fire was lost and could not effectively support the high ground. Japan's offensive was quite fierce. In Juno for so many days, the battle between the army and the Japanese army was almost one after another. Japan never fought hard with them. It cleverly used its defensive positions to gradually weaken the strength of the US military, and rarely had such a strong attack.
But it was this strong attack that made the US military very helpless. It was too late to occupy the nameless high ground. Before it was completely arranged, it was attacked by Japan. There were still many mines in the area that were not cleaned up. Combined together, a high ground that was easy to defend and difficult to attack fell into the hands of the Japanese after resisting for 2 and a half hours. All the results were shining, and so many tanks and artillery were lost in vain. (To be continued.)
