Chapter 1732: The role of stupidity
Even if it exceeds the maximum range of the US military, the US artillery troops are still very professional in protecting it. Such an artillery itself has a armored 5 cm thick. Coupled with the piled sandbags, even if it is directly hit by the Japanese large-caliber artillery, as long as it does not hit the key, it can ensure the safety of the artillery and continue to attack. After all this is done, the artillery fire reconnaissance began.
In response to the attacks of the US military, Japan has really prepared some tank trenches. Japan is still fantasizing whether it can capture more US tanks as brilliant as before. Although with the help of Chinese engineers, some tanks that were previously identified as scrap iron have finally started to move again. Kawasaki Mikatsu's armored force has reached more than 3,000, and is still increasing. However, if the total number of tanks captured is more, 4,000, 8,000, or even 10,000, they will definitely have a chance.
Kawasaki Miyan's plan directly extinguished everyone's thoughts. Even afterwards, a large-scale confrontation with the US military won more tanks than before, and they wanted to get a share of the pie. However, according to the Chinese suggestion, they were all divided into Kawasaki Miyan, and there was almost no chance for them.
But with the increase in captive tanks, they also spyed from multiple parties, and finally knew that the more troops the Sakura Plan needed, the better. According to Chinese calculations, the limit was 5,000 vehicles. If more than 5,000 vehicles were used, the logistics and supply were not so convenient.
Because of this, these Japanese army with deep background and more thoughtful thoughts have nothing to do with Kawasaki Mikatsu. After all, this cherry blossom plan has received support from the top and even the emperor has come forward. In this case, even if they want to reach out, they can't reach out. Kawasaki Mikatsu is indeed a ruthless person. He actually put himself in a desperate situation for so many tanks. There are so many people staring from top to bottom. It is impossible to tamper with them in the middle. At most, they can get a few as a sample. If there are more than one, it won't work.
But now, the huge armored attack from the United States has given them hope that Kawasaki Mikatsu has up to 5,000 vehicles, so the number of more than 5,000 vehicles can be divided. There is no need to risk their lives to get those tanks like Kawasaki Mikatsu. As long as the attack from the United States continues, they may be able to get hundreds of vehicles and form one or two brigades.
Wishes are beautiful, reality is cruel, Americans are not fools, they just underestimated the enemy a little before, and the Japanese's preparations were beyond their expectations. After being fooled twice, how could they go to the third time?
Now 200 artillery pieces with a range of more than 20 kilometers are even more powerful. With the help of artillery fire, the front line that needs to be attacked has been plowed. Except for some individual soldiers, the rest of these newly dug tank trenches that have escaped the coverage of artillery fire, the rest have been cleared out. For tank trenches built with all of them, heavy artillery is his absolute nemesis. No matter how long the tank trenches you have built, they can be destroyed by others with heavy artillery. Of course, it is impossible to destroy them all.
A tank trench that is more than ten kilometers long and several meters wide cannot be destroyed by hundreds of artillery fire. However, the United States does not need to destroy these tank trenches. It is enough to blow out a passage in the tank trench. As long as the passage comes out, the tank is not very convenient to move, and will not be trapped or unable to move, nor will it turn helplessly.
Japan also discovered the purpose of the United States. If the United States continues to fight like this, when the tanks rush up, their infantry can only fight with their lives. In step by step contact and war, the Americans are also smart. If they want to use individual soldiers to easily kill the tank, it is really not easy to take it.
The American artillery fire must be knocked out, which is also where Japan determined its advantage before. The simple tank trenches and rocket launchers cannot stop the tank's high-speed charge. This was known before. In fact, when the US military's artillery began to show its power, the Japanese artillery was ready to give the United States a little color. In the sky of Juno, artillery has always been dominated by Japan, and the US military can only be passively beaten.
However, after the research of elite artillery, the positions of these American artillery fires were basically given, which were at least about 7 kilometers backwards than the previous positions, which didn't seem to be much. However, with Japan's relatively accurate artillery range of about 20 kilometers, it would be possible to obtain US artillery fire unless the strategic artillery fire is placed on the front line. Otherwise, it would be beyond the reach.
This is absolutely impossible. Each of the 155 obtained from China is the treasure of the Japanese Army, with a fast firing rate, light weight and long range. In Japan's view, this cannon is the perfect artillery for infantry. After finally getting so many from China, it is not allowed to be carried out. No problem is allowed. If it is really brought to the front line, what should I do? Because the range between the two sides is similar, Japanese artillery can be obtained from the US military, and US artillery can also be fired. Although the US artillery cannot be compared with them, no accident can be used. The artillery that has finally been obtained cannot be wasted here casually.
As for increasing the range, Japan has never thought about it. According to the statement provided by China, the range of the 155 artillery is about 40 kilometers, and at least more than 35 kilometers. According to this range, the opponent's artillery should be included in the range. Unfortunately, Japan has tried it in artillery training. Even the most elite gunner will have an error of more than 500 meters after the range exceeds 25 kilometers. 35 kilometers can basically only be determined within 3 kilometers. Perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of shots. If a blind cat hits a dead mouse, it should be able to obtain the US artillery position, but more will be lost. Most of it depends on luck. Perhaps one shot hit, or maybe one or two hours, it may not fall to the right point.
But this is useless and has no use at all. Even the American artillery troops at the precise range of the Japanese army can use a few moves with the Japanese artillery when supporting tank charges. During large-scale charges, they even fought with the Japanese army for more than an hour. In that case, according to the density of the opponent's shells, it was obvious that they did not suffer fatal damage. They continued to weaken until they fought for several hours in the future and did not develop well in the scene.
Even if the range is nearly 7 kilometers, it cannot completely suppress the artillery fire of the US military, let alone now, the US artillery has suddenly increased by 7 kilometers. Judging from the sparse artillery fire, the number should not be large, but even so, it is very depressing. The Americans have very good tactical qualities. This must be a special weapon, and this artillery will definitely not be missed. They are all under strict protection. Even when facing dense artillery fire, they can still use a few moves. There is no way to attack like a rabbit like this.
200 artillery pieces are not too many in the entire Juno front line, and even exceeding 20 kilometers of range, the US military cannot achieve accurate shooting. They are not as accurate as Japan's surveying and mapping, but simple aiming and elite gunners can still allow the accuracy control to a certain extent. At this level, it may not be able to provide long-range support for infantry attacks. The US military attacks not one or two moving targets, but it is just a tank trench, which is a fixed target. Except for individual tank trenches, each tank trench is a long and wide trench. At 200 gates, the chance of hitting is very high. On the contrary, Japan cannot touch their positions, unless Japan is willing to use artillery bayonets like the United States.
In this way, a silly and sturdy model, even in peacetime, even the standard of passing is impossible. In peacetime, military expenditure must be passed by parliament. An artillery that can only play a tactical role cannot be passed at all. After all, this artillery can only be used in a relatively specific environment, and most environments during wartime are not suitable for use.
But in the war era, everything was based on war, and the war had the greatest requirements. Faced with the requirements of war, many things could be put aside. Such a weapon that seemed to be a waste played a super powerful role in the unique battlefield of Juno, directly reversing the situation of the US military. 200 gates could support the sky for the US tank charge. With more and more subsequent artillery, more and more combat areas were supported, and Japan began to have a headache.
Just after such artillery attacks, the situation of the United States on the Juneau front suddenly improved. In fact, in terms of strength, the US military has the advantage in combat effectiveness on the Juneau front, not to mention tanks. Tanks are tanks after all, just like infantry in the cold weapon era, which was a last resort for cavalry. Although occasionally there were wars of infantry defeating cavalry, in most cases, it was normal for cavalry to defeat infantry. Even well-equipped infantry occasionally had some victories against cavalry, but they could not persist and could not expand the results of the battle. At most, they could eat a small part of the cavalry, and then they were defeated by cavalry to win.
Tanks are the same for infantry. Although in the age of thermal weapons, infantry has weapons to deal with armored forces, these weapons are not decisive. As long as the other party is familiar with them, the one at a disadvantage is Japan. Before such a cannon arrived, the United States was able to suppress Japan steadily. Now, with this model, the tank's powerful attack power can be immediately displayed. In just half a month, the US military launched a total of 21 division-level attacks, all of which won, from at least 100 meters to 500 meters, making Japan's original stable defense line become tideous.
