Chapter 1725 Strategic Objectives
At any time, an armored fleet can cross a distance of 5,000 kilometers. China's armored power can cross thousands of kilometers. On the one hand, it is because China's armor is extremely reliable, and on the other hand, it is because of its maintenance power. China has a complete tank maintenance power. Even at present, the armored corps headquarters has elite troops coming out of various tank divisions. Learning here and drawing randomly can also ensure the operation of Chinese tanks, and it is extremely powerful. However, this is a Japanese tank, which uses tank territory obtained from the United States, and at most adjusts to small places such as power systems. In this case, not only maintenance, but also a lot of power and assembly running-in. If all of them are drawn from the army, problems will arise.
1,200 tanks are already the smallest. After confirming the attack on the Pacific Railway, China hopes that the destruction can be greater. If the US armored troops continue to attack and capture more US tanks, this is the best. Even if they cannot, they will carry the necessary equipment and strive to repair more tanks in the ruins and enter the hinterland of the United States. Even if there are more than a dozen or twenty tanks, it will have a huge effect on the entire convoy.
Because of this, although the army's maintenance workers are elite, they can only make simple replacements and repairs. Japanese tanks will make some modifications based on US tanks. Among them, the power and transmission systems cannot be mature systems, and there may be many problems. In this case, the armor is slightly different from the armor trained by China. In this case, if no engineer goes there, it is easy to have problems.
Engineers do not belong to the combat force. They can provide help on the battlefield, but the premise is that in China, where there are Chinese interests. Now, this is in the Americas. Although there are Chinese interests in the long run, the immediate interests are Japan's interests. Under such circumstances, even Yan Xishan cannot directly order.
The ball was once again pushed to the engineers. Those who could attend such a meeting were all more aware and at least they had a close relationship with the armored corps. They also knew that this was inevitable. In fact, when they came, they were ready to go to Alaska, but this was a step further and they had to go to the battlefield. Several engineers discussed it a little and finally confirmed a result. However, they had to ask the combat troops whether there would be dangers in going there and how high the danger coefficient was.
Although the officers cannot guarantee this, as long as they go to the battlefield, there will be dangers. No one can guarantee this. Even the marshal may die. However, in the extreme cases at that time, generally speaking, engineers should be relatively safe among armored troops. This battle was proposed by the Japanese, from armored troops to armored vehicles, they were all dominated by Japan. The Japanese must be the Japanese. In terms of the state of the tank troops, as long as the engineers do not leave the large unit of the tank, the safety of the engineers can be guaranteed.
China commands dispatched a minimum number of engineers and then equipped with some elite logistics maintenance personnel. These are soldiers. They can protect the safety of engineers while maintaining them, and even in specific circumstances, they can sacrifice themselves to ensure the safety of engineers. Even if the Japanese army is wiped out, they can choose to surrender, or when they see the situation, the troops can find a place with water. With the help of small seaplanes, they have smaller targets than armed personnel.
When the US military went to Juno, it was equipped with a large logistics support force. The reason was very simple. When there was a problem with the engine and power system, if you wanted to not give up the tank, you had to use 12-15 personnel. Almost half of the tracks on the bottom layer, including some power transmission and wheels, to repair the engine. However, after China's adjustments, the difficulty of repair was greatly reduced. Only 2 people were used to open 12 screws and several partitions, and one engine could be replaced. This repair difficulty was much reduced.
Even if a division is repaired with 1,200 tanks, 6 engineers and 120 maintenance workers are enough. Some work and work that can be provided by the Japanese can provide, such as screws and transporting equipment. Almost everyone can do such work, which greatly reduces the number of maintenance personnel. 126 is enough, and to a certain extent, it will continue to reduce.
The battlefield is a very dangerous place. Even after experiencing countless battle situations, China also knows that sending non-combatants to participate in such an adventurous war is a gambling act. Fortunately, it is controlled to a certain amount. Not only is it easier for China to handle it, less than 130, two heavy seaplanes and six medium-sized ones. Just look for it casually. As for the water surface, some wider rivers or larger lakes, as long as there is a 800-meter-long water surface, it is enough to take off the seaplane. Less than 130, compared with the entire tank division, 6,000 main personnel and 8,000 logistics personnel, it is just a very trivial part. Any movement of these people is easy to adjust and is enough to ensure their safety.
It is confirmed that in terms of technology, it can ensure that 1,200 Japanese tanks enter the hinterland of the United States and run at least 5,000 kilometers long. Even if it needs adjustment, it is no problem. The battle between Japan and the United States is destined to be long, as long as it is adjusted before the winter comes, the chief engineer has also given a special explanation on how long it will take to complete the transformation.
This is not a difficult thing, but mechanical modifications. Under the premise of changing the power system and even complete tanks obtained by Germany, they can easily judge how long it will take. As long as there are enough machinery and personnel, the modification and adjustment of 1,200 tanks will only take 15 days at most. Even if some personnel and tools are not very good, it will take up to 30 days to complete.
With the premise of determining the technology without any problems, the following discussion will focus more on the depth and breadth of this strategy, which can destroy the Pacific Railway at one time. With mental calculation and unintentionality, there should be no problem in destroying it, but what after the destruction?
The Panama Canal is not important, it is very important. At that time, the four fantasy-classes used powerful weapons to directly destroy the dam of the Panama Canal, causing congestion in the Panama Canal, and directly bought China enough time. Even if the United States could mobilize warships and could not take into account the west coast, this is probably part of the reason why China could easily capture many islands in the Pacific. If the United States wanted to detour South America, the danger would be very high. If Germany or China sent submarines to hunt in the waters of South America, the US military would be very troublesome. At that time, the US military had no warships, and even if there were, it would not risk passing by. Therefore, the extreme emptiness on the Pacific Ocean was seized by China and seized most of the islands in the Pacific Ocean.
It seems that the destruction of the Panama dam caused strategic losses to the United States, but this loss is temporary. What happened? The destruction of the Panama Canal basically achieves China's combat significance, but it did not continue. I thought it could delay the United States for at least two years, but the United States' repair speed exceeded China's imagination. The Panama Canal was only cut off for almost a year, and the restoration was completed, and even the entire time was less than a year.
It is precisely because of the experience of the Panama Canal that some staff members raised objections. The plains are easy to be destroyed and it is not difficult to build. With the hundreds of thousands of kilometers of railways built by the United States and the recovery speed of the Panama Canal, it can be seen that the United States is not weak in construction capabilities. It took a lot of effort to get an armored force. It only delayed the United States for several months, or even one or two months, which was a bit unworthy of the loss.
Of course, this gain is not worth the loss, mainly for itself. If it were Japan, at most it would be a pity that such a huge armored force would fall apart in the heart of the United States. This is what the Japanese demanded. China made only cooperation. According to the meaning of this staff, it would be enough to position the Pacific Railway as the ultimate goal. If possible, it could destroy and cut off the railway. It would be best to cut off such a strategic railway such as the Pacific Railway for a period of time. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. China supports Japan to enter the hinterland of the United States, even in meaning, it is enough to shock the United States, and let Japan and the United States gain the upper hand in their will and spirit, and make the United States feel anxious all day long. A real devastating blow is not very realistic.
This mentality represents the thoughts of most people, but he did not expect that Zhou Shucai, the first person mentioned in the Pacific Railway, was not willing to do so, but he did not have enough ways to convince others. The seminar itself was a gathering of people and speaking freely. As long as you can convince the other party, everything could be mentioned. Although he felt that this was a little unhappy, he did not speak, not that he was about to give up, but that there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind.
The colleagues next to him saw that the discussion was basically over. Yan Xishan was a little inclined to do this. When he saw his colleague who was still in a daze, he patted him gently and said, "Why, are you still thinking about the explosive idea?"
As he said unintentional listener, the word explosion seemed to be a wave of inspiration. How could he forget this? His inspiration line quickly began to spread, and he slightly determined several key links, and then suddenly stood up. (~^~)
