Chapter 1719 The battle for tanks
The US military had no choice but to retreat. When the Japanese army attacked the nameless highland, the US military had already retreated and took the nameless highland itself. The US military's position moved forward. Of course, the base camp did not move. Now the front line has returned to its original level. In this case, the US military's position has slightly emerged. Regardless of whether the nameless highland can be defended, it must retreat, let alone that the nameless highland cannot be defended. Of course, they retreated significantly.
The US military retreat basically represents the final end of this battle. Japan finally captured the nameless highland, making the plain area behind the nameless highland completely safe. The more than 3,000 Japanese troops died were indifferent to the Japanese top leaders. They had to take down the results of the battle. Although it was blocked by the nameless highland, it was almost impossible for the United States to accurately hit the tanks, but it was not afraid of ten thousand, but it was afraid that if it was the case. Time did not wait for anyone.
Japan acted quickly and almost did that night. With the help of the darkness and the nameless highlands, they successfully brought back all the tanks, and even used some motor vehicles to drag some tanks that had lost power and could not move back. Even in the darkness, their search work was almost three feet high, and they almost never missed any tank component.
China also participated in this operation. With the help of China's inspection, there were 550 vehicles intact and 400 vehicles left, which could be repaired through simple repairs and the remaining problems were quite big. However, with the wreckage and the final acquisition of more than 100 wreckage in the nameless highlands, Japan's final cargo and repair of more than 1,050 vehicles. In addition, the number of Japanese tanks before even reached an astonishing 1,300 vehicles. This not only has a very amazing proportion, but also has an amazing number.
This is an extremely ironic thing. The US military came in a fierce manner and used 8,000 tanks and large-scale artillery fire. In the end, not only did it lose its troops, but it also gave it to Japan 1,300 tanks, directly helping Japan build an armored division. This is probably the result of the United States losing both his wife and his troops. It seems a bit incredible, but under the trap of the United States and Japan's flexible application, it actually completed such an almost impossible task.
As long as the tanks were able to be activated, none of them remained on the front line. The gap in the nameless highlands had been blocked. It is logical that more than 90% of them could not be defeated by the Americans, but the mines had not been completely cleaned up, the defense lines were not arranged, and there were not even four divisions above, just a corps outpost position, so these tanks were safer to the rear.
For a whole night, the Japanese position was quite moving. On the positions in the valley, they were too close to the US military camp and dared not turn on the lights, searchlights and flares were not used. In the second half, they were more than 3 kilometers away from the plains, which was at least 12 kilometers away from the US military. Of course, it didn't matter. Even if the US military's artillery was accessible, they could not be accurately fired. The darkness had an impact on the movement of the tanks. Although the tanks had off-road functions, these were treasures seized by the Japanese and could not be broken so simply.
One night, in such a noisy situation, it passed. When the sun rose the next day, Juno's core position was close to a plain area of Juno's central position, with more than 300 tanks galloping in the area. Kawasaki Miyan looked at the Japanese army forming a camp to attack with satisfaction. The 20 instructors borrowed from China were all excellent trainers with experience in armored troops. Under their training, the tanks could soon play a role.
25 tons, full of steel. On the battlefield, except for the rocket launcher and large-caliber artillery, the others had little impact on him. In the state of running all the way, the speed of 25 kilometers per hour allowed few weapons to threaten him. Even if there were only 300 vehicles, he also expected that tanks might not play a big role in fixed positions, but in the pursuit battle, the position could not be taken with them. In the past, if the US military retreated, they would go wherever they wanted. But now, as long as these tanks were used, it would not be so easy for the US military to escape. Either they would leave some people behind to increase the results of Japan's battle, or they would be pursued by Japan's armored forces, and the losses would be greater.
In fact, he did not see the contempt expression of Chinese instructors. Yes, such a simple tank is not as good as the first generation tank that China has established after its founding. To a certain extent, at most it is just an iron shell equipped with an engine. The speed, protection and even firepower are all in the initial state.
I have been training for several days, but unfortunately the progress is not very high. The Japanese are not very good at machinery and have American equipment. Many things are a bit different from the Japanese. In addition, the complexity of the operation is so difficult to move, and I can't even care about the camp or something.
However, today, another good news came. Today, during the battle between Japan ambushing the US military, the tank trench once again showed its power. This time, the trap of the largest tank trench actually fell into 1,000 tanks at once. Unlike before, they took the risk of getting the tanks away on the front line. This time, at least 1,500 tanks were left in the area completely controlled by Japan, especially after taking down the highlands guarded by Kawasaki Mikazu, this area became a place where Japan could move at will.
At this moment, Mikai Kawasaki no longer cared about training armored soldiers. Under the premise of simple connection, he began to realize what kind of existence the tank was. Although this tank was quite simple in the eyes of Chinese instructors, from simple calculations and steel itself, he knew that this tank was valuable, at least tens of thousands of dollars. Each division had 1,200 tanks. Not to mention the subsequent consumption, just talking about the purchase cost. This tank was not supported by Japan. Only the tank could be effective under the premise of concentrated use.
Since the first armored wing was established in his division, of course he could not have allowed the tank to fall into other divisions. To a certain extent, he still had certain advantages, but this was what he took for granted. When Mikatsu Kawasaki arrived at the headquarters, he knew that this matter was in great trouble.
There have been almost 30 people in the headquarters, and almost all of Juno and the commanders of the eastern region have arrived here. There are also several independent division commanders, near the water tower. They were the first to come into contact with the armored forces of the US military and the ones who know the most about the armored forces of the US military. They are very eager to bring this batch of US military tanks to their division.
The US tanks suffered a huge blow on Juneau's defense line, and it can even be said to be a loss of troops and generals, but is this a tank not good? No, Japan's advantage in Juneau is the result of the joint action of various situations. To a certain extent, the tank trench is only a part of the reason, a very important reason, but not all, or even the most important.
Japan has the upper hand more because of fixed positions and artillery fire. Especially the latter, the US military was at an extremely unfavorable premise at the beginning of the attack. Japan's long-range artillery fire almost doubled the range of the US military. Under this circumstance, every attack by the US military was in the premise that there was little or no artillery fire support, but they could attack the US military unscrupulously.
They think from the perspective of others. If the artillery fire of both sides is at a certain level, or even the artillery fire of the US military is a little stronger, can they still achieve such great results?
Tank trenches are right, they are a harmless magic weapon to deal with tanks. They have been constructed and have a simple structure, but their fatal flaw is that they are afraid of firepower. Compared with fixed turrets, tank trenches that have been constructed represent easy destruction and cannot move are just a target for long-range artillery fire. If the power of strategic artillery fire is not suppressed by the US military's strategic artillery fire, how could their tank trenches play such a big role? At most, they will delay the US offensive. Without the function of this tank trenches, their positions will be really dangerous to a certain extent.
This is not an alarmist statement, but the result of real calculation step by step. Strategic artillery fire and process artillery fire can almost be ignored. Even under the barrier of the tank trenches, a large amount of long-range artillery fire was concentrated, but only 400 tanks were destroyed. The power of the tank can be seen. During high-speed travel, even dense long-range artillery fire can be destroyed very limited. After all, only artillery more than 100 mm cannons can be destroyed by using armor-piercing bombs. Unless they hit the key points, such as fuel tanks or tracks, they cannot deal with these tanks at all.
I don’t know if Japan will be equipped with a large number of tanks in the future. The tanks it is not easy to give up. With these tanks, to a certain extent, it is a great benefit for the overall Juno strategy. To be honest, the army will become the target of Japan’s vigorous development in the future. After the navy was taken away by China and completely abandoned the navy, it will be a complete fool in the United States. Now facing the land, the most powerful weapon is not obtained in advance, studying it, and forming power. It is simply a joke. Whoever gives up this opportunity is a complete fool. (To be continued.)
