The entire airborne operation lasted almost an hour. The Chinese Air Force completed the mission excellently. The beautiful scenery of Kawasaki below was also very emotional. The armored troops had high logistics requirements and were the first among all the army. However, dozens of aircraft completed such a supply perfectly, which made him think deeply and even made special suggestions to the Japanese in the telegram that night.

In this way, the little thing about the air force displayed by China in front of Japan has aroused some of Japan's ambitions. In terms of army technology, Japan itself is not strong. Although the navy is emerging and has developed well with the support of the United Kingdom, the navy has basically been taken away by China due to the Sino-Japanese treaty. Even if it is prepared, it is difficult to carry out blatantly during this period. Even Alaska has not completely gained a foothold. Secrets can be continued, and large-scale construction and research are absolutely not possible.

I am ready to focus on developing the army, but the direction of the air force has become very attractive to Japan. The army has not developed much. The armor is just an investment. After Japan took Alaska, its wealth has become much richer. In the future, 5 to 10 armored divisions may be built, but a total of no more than 20,000 tanks are available. This is already a limit. It is impossible to fully popularize armor. In this way, the army's combat effectiveness cannot be greatly improved. The Air Force seems to be in the same direction.

Before we knew it, Japan actually moved towards history. In history, Japan was quite outstanding in aircraft. The zero-type fighter jets almost killed the United States. The excellent performance and force made the sky belong to Japan at the beginning of the Pacific War, which means that the stamina was insufficient and the background in engines and materials was not good. In addition, the competition for resources with the navy made Japan's Zero quickly fall behind. However, such a classic fighter left a strong mark in the history of World War II.

Now, after Japan lacks such a big pit of the navy, it can devote all its energy to the army and air force. Although the navy is no longer good, the army and air force has made great progress. This may be the variable caused by China. If it is replaced by Japan in history, it will kill itself. However, this era is different. Japan has changed from an island country to a land country. In this sense, strengthening the air force and the army is the most correct choice. As for the navy, before solving the North American problem and obtaining China's approval, they cannot develop this aspect.

Of course, China's improvement is somewhat higher for Japan. After Kawasaki's beauty has paid attention to it, Japan's first choice is to bring out the airdrop aircraft to support the future armored division. After the armored division has a weapon like airdrop, its power will definitely be stronger and will be less restricted by terrain, camp, and even front and rear. It will achieve better development on the entire vast American continent.

Unfortunately, even China has created so many strategic aircraft with the help of all-in-one aircraft. The strategic aircraft has about 3% of important components and about 40% of the components on the engine. They are all directly manufactured by all-in-one aircraft. Without the integrated aircraft, even China's current technical level cannot replicate such a strategic bomber. Japan rashly entered this field without any foundation and technological level, and had nowhere to start and took many detours.

Not to mention Japan's choice, the entire airdrop operation was barely completed until dusk. The strategic transport plane had already left two hours ago. After they completed the airdrop of all the supplies, they didn't have to worry about whether they were ready. Anyway, it was still a long time before dark, and the problem of collecting resources was really difficult to deal with, after all, this was in the dense forest.

Even if about 70% of them are next to the landing site, the dense forest is the dense forest. The simple passage opened before is not enough to get about 1,400 tons of materials, especially in addition to fuel, it is basically a large package of about one ton. These things are difficult to get out with just the manpower.

I had to get out the logging team again, clear the roads in the forest, enough vehicles to pass through, and with the help of some portable small locomotives, I got these things out, and after all I got to the camp and the supply was completed, it was already late.

The entire airdrop was successfully completed, with a slightly slower efficiency, but it was within the acceptance range. Most of the supplies were replenished during transportation, and the last ones were loaded into armored vehicles. The consumption was not large yesterday. Today, the materials dropped a little more, and they were also guarding against insufficient and problems. After filling them up completely and replenishing them, about 300 tons remained.

If it were Japan before, it would definitely try every means to take away these things. With these, you can fight for a long time. However, after seeing the power of airdrops, you can still find them accurately and the airdrops are dropped. Why do they have to install so many things? For armored forces, speed is the key. Instead of forcibly taking these things away and affecting speed, it is better to throw them here. This is an operation against the hinterland of the United States. What's wrong with wasting so many things.

To be honest, Kawasaki Mikazu was very psychologically fighting for a period of time and discarded these things. On the contrary, Zheng Shuming didn't think so much about it. When replenishing supplies, he must consider the margin. What's the relationship between a little more or less? Abandonment that exceeds the margin is certain. Compared with the discovery of the armored convoy, the latter is more important.

The airdrop has ended. He summarized the situation and sent it to China, mainly the effect, quantity, and how long it will take to complete the supply after the airdrop. According to the requirements, he is only an objective person. According to the actual situation, he will summarize some data, and it is best not to mix personal judgments.

This is also to help Zheng Shuming. He is just a deputy chief engineer. When it comes to professional theory, he can talk endlessly, but in terms of military affairs, he is definitely a layman. Maybe based on reality, the things analyzed are completely different from the real ones. Anyway, many things are derived from data. As long as the data arrives, the specific situation can be analyzed.

A few hours later, such a precious data passed through the Pacific Ocean, tens of thousands of kilometers, and finally arrived in Baotou, and was sent to the General Staff immediately. After careful analysis by many staff members, they finally got a result, that is, the airdrop in the dense forest is not efficient and safe, but a waste of time. The airdrop of about one hour itself, on the premise that all aspects are fully prepared, should be completed within an hour.

Unfortunately, in the dense forest, it took more than 2 hours to get out 1,400 tons of supplies. Finally, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening. It was supposed to set off around 6 o'clock, but it was postponed to 7:30. Fortunately, the road tonight was easier than last night. I had to pass through the huge Rockies yesterday. Even though they chose a not-so-hard road, the Rockies are the Rockies. This huge mountain range across North America has always been a watershed in the Americas. There are different situations on the West Coast and the East Coast.

As long as you cross the Rocky Mountains, it is the Great Plain, extending from the coast of Mexico to the back of North America. The huge and almost unobstructed plain should have been a place with fertile land, but because it is not covered, tropical storms in the Caribbean can blow all the way to the back of North America without any obstruction. Therefore, this is also the place with the most hurricanes. No matter what is planted, the hurricanes that visit every year will blow all this away. So until the mid-twentieth century, this place has always been a relatively difficult place in the United States, at most slightly better than the desert in Nevada.

However, in modern times, in the late 20th century, with the development of science and technology and the deepening of greening, various green belts and windbreaks appeared here. Therefore, hurricanes cannot be said to be completely eliminated, but they were greatly reduced. This place even became an important growth point for the development of American agriculture.

The Great Plain, except for rivers, there are flat grounds, no mountains, and no swamps and grasslands, is the best place for tanks to gallop. Even if it is just slightly closer to the edge of the Great Plain, it is a smooth road along the way. Even at night, you can travel as fast as possible. Even if you set off for more than an hour late, you can travel at least 11 hours tonight. To be converted into the speed of the tank, it will be at least 380 kilometers tonight. The maximum range of the planned second day is only 350 kilometers, which is beyond.

The supply has come to an end, and most of the troops are ready to set off. In the command car, Kawasaki Miyako looked at the map and 400 kilometers west of the Rocky Mountains, it has entered the hinterland of Canada. As a country with a vast and sparsely populated area, the central part of the country is no problem except for the natural rivers, and you can travel at full speed.

Soon, the guards came over and informed Kawasaki Mikatsu that all the troops were ready and whether to set off, he gave a positive answer. At this time, the forest was already pitch black, but with this order, the entire forest suddenly became lively, with a roar, followed by some lights, and then, a long line penetrated into the Canadian wilderness.

After a day's rest, the mental state of the New First Army reached its highest level. After rest and maintenance, the entire armored convoy was in very good condition. Starting from 7:30, because it did not pass through the Rockies, plus the maps and data in all aspects, it was already prepared. I chose a road farthest from the US military and the Canadian settlement area. I walked very safely against the night. When it was late at night, when people were quiet, I increased my speed. The convoy of 5,000 tanks was almost 38 kilometers per hour and had been walking for 10 hours. At about 5 o'clock, I had already walked 350 kilometers, which was basically the highest efficiency.

This distance from the Rocky Mountains is at least 600 kilometers, basically in the absolute hinterland. Here, it is definitely the sparsely populated place in Canada. There may be no one within 50 or even 100 kilometers. Looking at the sun that is about to rise, I am ready to move forward for another hour, but after looking at the map, Kawasaki Miyan adventure took another hour, and arrived at the farthest location at about 7:50 in the morning. Here comes the place where I camped yesterday, and it is at least 410 kilometers. It is the farthest place in the plan.

The next day, it was far less tense than the first day. On the one hand, it was more than 400 kilometers away from the US military base. After all, they turned west and turned north in the middle of the Great Plains. They had traveled more than 600 kilometers in two days, but the distance from the US military was only 400 kilometers. However, this meaning is different. One is in the north, further away from the United States, and the other is in the south, and the distance from the United States is 400 kilometers.

In this era, in the era without planes, the area that the army can control is about 100 kilometers, more than 400 kilometers. Even if they are really discovered, what can the Americans do? If they cannot control their speed and directions, they will find it difficult to block them. You must know that this is all armored troops, and they are mechanized marching. If there are fewer people, there is no way to go. Come here to deliver vegetables. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be discovered. With China's intelligence support for Japan, it can avoid heavy troops well. As long as you bypass them or mobilize them, it is another excellent opportunity.

Even during World War II, an armored convoy that was completely maneuverable and solved logistics and reconnaissance problems was a very difficult problem. If an armored division loses its trace on the battlefield, it may cause huge chaos. Not to mention a military, 5,000 tanks, at any time, it will appear in the weak links of the army, which is a huge threat.

This is the terrible thing about the mechanized army. It can wander outside the battlefield. Once it discovers the weak link in the battlefield, it can quickly attack that weak link. Not to mention 50,100 kilometers, even 200 kilometers or 250 kilometers, what does it mean? For ordinary army, it may take several days, but the armored troops will be out of the way and can reach it in one day, and it is like a sharp knife inserted in the vital part.

This is the case with the New First Army at present, and sadly, the Americans have not discovered anything at all. There is such a terrible force that has gradually approached the United States. If everything goes well, it will be able to enter the United States in at most three or four days.
