Chapter 1768: Railway Destruction Machine

Even if the US military has mobilized a large number of troops now, some of them are in Europe and some are in Alaska. If there are fewer people, they will be eaten by the New First Army. An armored army and 5,000 tanks will be used to face the US military with less than 4 divisions. It is almost unnecessary to consider it and just attack directly. Even if there are more than 4 divisions, as long as there are not a heavy army group of twenty or thirty divisions, they have fixed camps and defensive positions, and heavy artillery.

Even if the United States can mobilize a large army, it will be difficult to affect the New Army in a short time. To transport these troops to the New Army, it only depends on two legs. This requires mobilizing nearly a large number of troops on a large scale. This is almost impossible to complete. Railways are always the first choice, especially for armored forces. There is no artillery infantry but just cannon fodder. Such a vast plain in the middle, as long as it causes damage to the railway, even if it is only a few dozen or hundreds of kilometers, it will be enough to cause huge trouble to the United States. At that time, the ones with mobilization advantages between regions will not be the US military, but will go deep into the Japanese army in the United States. This will be a huge irony.

The ultimate goal of the Sakura Plan is to destroy the Pacific Railway. The damage to the railway cannot be solved by dismantling it. Demolition of the railway tracks, with the construction and industrial capabilities shown by the United States, may take a few days to restore the railway to normal, and at most some railway bridges will be blown up. This will extend the time, but it will not be enough to completely give Japan a strategic advantage.

At the beginning, Japan was preparing to use tank off-road capabilities to significantly destroy the railway bridge. However, when the Sakura Plan was about to set off, China gave a choice, and was finally accepted by Japan. As long as the New Army attacked the Pacific Railway and controlled a section of the railway, China would airdrop a big guy, a machine that specifically destroyed the railway and roadbed. This machine was basically modified with a locomotive, with a total weight of more than 25 tons, but it was a nightmare for the railway and could destroy the railway at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour. This was not an ordinary demolition of the rails, but a common destruction of the railway and the roadbed. Once destroyed, it would be a complete destruction and it was basically unlikely to recover in a short time.

Destroying railway machines in this way sounds like a fantasy, and it is not difficult to realize. In real history, Belgium, a small European country, had such weapons. When the German blitzkrieg entered Belgium, they completely destroyed their own railways in a short time, allowing Germany to break the target of France with the help of the Belgian railway. Because the railway engineering troops of at least 6 divisions took more than ten days, they only completed 600 kilometers of railways, and were still thousands of kilometers away from the border between Belgium and France.

With the help of China, Germany won the Scarlet Fortress in this plane more than Belgium expected. Belgium did not have many low-end equipment and could not even destroy the railway, so it was completely occupied by Germany. This machinery that destroyed the railway did not work, but was instead used as a trophy by Germany.

Such a tool is nothing to Germany and China. After a little research, you will know his working methods and stored them as a technical reserve. Although Germany and China are very strong and unlikely to encounter the problem of being invaded by the enemy, who can guarantee that for infantry without cars, a developed railway line is the foundation for his rapid advancement. If the railway line is destroyed, it will delay this point and be enough to solve most of the problems.

For example, if the National Government had such weapons during the War of Resistance Against Japan and boldly destroyed a series of railways including the Jinpu Road and the Hanyang Railway, could Japan still make rapid progress in North China? The vast land of China would become their quagmire, and they would not even be able to achieve their past results.

The overall weight of such a tool is more than 25 tons after a series of weight reductions, and its performance has also been improved in stages. Previously, the maximum speed of Belgian products was 5 kilometers. If it was destroyed with all its strength, it would not even be able to reach a speed of five kilometers per hour. Belgium destroyed such a huge railway line because it invested enough such tools. In the Sakura Plan, it would only be invested at most 3 vehicles.

The weight of Chinese imitations is very light and has excellent performance. The speed of 8 kilometers is basically higher than walking efficiency. This kind of destruction is quite excellent. The German one is about the same as a locomotive, about 40 tons. Such things cannot be placed outside except for being operated in China or in absolute control areas.

China has a strategic bomber with a load capacity of more than 30 tons and the cabin is enough to accommodate such a big strategic aircraft, so it becomes the natural carrier of such things. By disassembly, such a big guy will be disassembled into 12 parts. The biggest one is just a little more than 4 tons, which is convenient for airborne.

There is no airport in the United States. It is impossible to wait for strategic bombers with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons. It is not a professional airport. The runway of more than 3,500 meters cannot be a temporary steel runway. This basically eliminates the field effect of strategic bombers. A big guy with more than 25 tons airborne is an extremely difficult problem even in the 21st century. There are airborne tanks, but they are all light guys who castrate and reduce most systems. They really have the ability to airborne heavy tanks, and what do they need to do on the ground?

This is not a combat weapon. The guys who are specially used for destruction are all tough and thick skin. What they need is strong power and a little damage will not cause much problem. As long as the damaged part is intact.

Think about it, the guy who can completely destroy 5 kilometers of railways every hour, is afraid that no parachutes will be thrown from the air without a big hole in the ground, and will not be damaged much, let alone carefully designed parachutes. In order to ensure safety, four airdrops were even airdropped at one time.

It is conceivable that there are four such big guys who are rampant on the Pacific Railway. These are basically designed according to the front of the car. When the destruction mission is not performed, their speed can reach 35 kilometers on the rails, which is basically the same as tanks. At that time, the tank fleet can destroy them one by one, and the efficiency will be greatly increased.

With the help of such a giant beast that specializes in destroying the railway, some bridges and tunnels will be blown up. At that time, the speed advantage will not be the United States, but Japan. A speed of 40 kilometers to 25 kilometers per hour, as long as Japan is not in a brain, it will be forced into a desperate situation.

In a sense, if the United States can find so many tanks in the country, and the speed is only to attack cities and villages and prevent heavy artillery from being hit by heavy artillery, then in mobile warfare, this will be crucial. Compared with the speed of 25 kilometers per hour, it is only barely able to bite it, and use some geographical advantages and blockades to barely encounter it. The gap between 45 kilometers and 18 kilometers is nearly twice that, and it is impossible to even eat dust.

In fact, Japan's Sakura Plan was not only designed, beyond the expectations of the United States, but also hit the Americans' weakness. Because of the anti-aircraft machine gun, the United States stopped the production of its original tanks. After adjustments, it has begun to produce new tanks in small batches. This type weighs as high as 30 tons and uses a tank with a high-power engine produced by the United States. Its speed is only 5 kilometers per hour, or even lower than the speed at the design time. This tank may burst out with unimaginable light in positional battles, but in field battles, it is only a life of dust. Although this cannon is equipped with 37 guns, which can easily tear the opponent's defense, but a speed of 45 kilometers per hour can reach more than 25 kilometers on the battlefield, and these tanks cannot hit it.

The tank's aiming system is itself a very precise system. Just like a warship, the reason why the dreadnought is a dreadnought is that its power and full-heavy artillery are just one part. The advanced aiming system brings an improvement in the overall hit rate. Otherwise, how could it be that once the fearlessness comes out, all the fearlessness is out of date.

The aiming of tanks is common for China. From optical aiming to computer aiming, China has used electronic products on tanks, greatly improving the hit rate of tanks. However, for the allies of the newborn tanks, they even picked up the tank from a nightmare and hit the cannon inventively. His artillery can deal with fixed targets on land at most. It is very difficult. After all, the tank itself is in motion, hitting the target in motion. This book

It is a big problem. The US tank designers have never considered this issue. The hit rate can be imagined. While both sides are moving at high speed, the relative speed is sometimes as high as 60 kilometers. In this case, even Chinese tanks must be helped by computer-aided systems and with the help of excellent gunners, and finally they can reach a considerable hit rate. In this way, the tanks made by the United States have the simplest aiming method. How can they hit?

Speed ​​will become the best shield for the New Army. When the United States is weakest, even its armor strength cannot keep up with Japan, it will be fine to make the United States' stomach turn upside down and cause huge losses to the United States.

As for the army, if the tanks are moving near the Rocky Mountains, but in the Great Plains, which runs through the central United States, until now, due to the dry climate and the invasion of tornadoes, the central part is relatively sparsely populated, and it is simply a fertile ground for tanks. As long as the Japanese New Army does not lose fuel or logistics supplies, in the heart of the United States, it is really like the Monkey King entering Princess Iron Fan’s stomach and making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
