The first few days of the Sakura Plan were basically near the base camp of the United States. At the closest time, it was only 180 kilometers. In such an area, once discovered by the United States, it might cause unnecessary trouble. However, after passing this area, it will be safe. At a distance of 400 kilometers, the armored troops are mobile units, and the tanks of the New First Army are even above the American tanks. As long as you do a good job of reconnaissance, you really don’t have to worry about being besieged by the US military.

The two days went by, which made Kawasaki's beauty completely relieved. When camping, I just found a relatively gentle place with a small river around me, and did not deliberately look for a hidden place. Of course, this is also related to the situation of the Great Plains, which is one of the few places in the United States and Canada with not dense vegetation. In these places, it is very difficult to find the woods like yesterday.

However, although this place is surrounded by a small river, there are only 3 villages within 150 kilometers, with a total of more than 50 people. The nearest village is 72 kilometers away, which is almost outside the area where people move. Few people will run into this area.

However, tonight, Zheng Shuming's report became much simpler. Most of the things were reported yesterday. There were not many new things today. There were not many places to play along the way, nor were there many obstacles encountered. Everything arrived smoothly. Even the daytime march lacked highlights. It was nothing more than continuous marching, which did not help China much.

Even if Zheng Shuming was an amateur, he could see that it was indeed the case. The staff only took a look at the report on the next day. They also knew that the first day was more important and might see something, but on the second day, or even the third day and the fourth day, they might have to wait until they pass through the Mississippi River to gain something.

In the entire Great Plain area, there are not many big rivers. Most of them are rivers within 50 meters, with a depth of not high, about one meter. As long as these rivers are not swamps and silt, they can pass directly without building bridges. After all, tanks are tracked, not wheeled, and have strong off-road capabilities in the wild.

During the day, there was no problem. It was empty and the third day was very smooth. Because it was even far away from the US military and Canada, they chose a flat land to receive airdrop supplies, and they replenished the supplies while airdropping. After receiving the airdrop, it was only 4:30 pm. After receiving the airdrop, they started to set off without any repairs. On this day, they would march for 18 hours in a row and would not rest until 10 am on the next day.

After walking 1,200 kilometers in three days, we have already reached central Canada. The question of distance selection is about the time to prepare the cherry blossom plan. During the 12-hour uninterrupted reconnaissance of the reconnaissance aircraft, we found it. Not only are they walking the flattest area, but there are also quite few rivers. Even if it is a river, they will choose shallow or narrower places. It is quite easy to spend this way and will not delay much.

Most rivers pass directly, and only a small number of rivers use the hukou bridge troops. This Zhouqiao troops, which has been modified by China and has a maximum traffic range of 700 meters, will certainly have no problem dealing with these small rivers in Canada. With the help of Zhouqiao troops, it is almost 500 kilometers a day. The excellent performance of Chinese modified tanks is undoubtedly shown here. If it is still an American tank, 500 kilometers will require a continuous maneuver of 25 kilometers and a maximum speed of 20 hours. This is almost impossible to solve.

However, among the modified tanks, the average speed has exceeded 35 kilometers per hour, which is only a little over 14 hours. This is not difficult for the New Army. From Alaska, we will walk around the Rocky Mountains and enter the heart of Canada. Although the 120 kilometers in the first three days are south, there are not many southwards, and the whole thing is still going east. According to the route map of the Cherry Blossom Plan, they need to go from Alaska to Canada, and go deep into about 1,400 kilometers before turning south, and basically traveling about 2,200 kilometers southward, which means that in Canada, they will travel about 3,600 kilometers.

Canada is the largest and has the longest travel time in the entire mileage. According to the Cherry Blossom Plan, they will take about 8-12 days to pass through this distance, and the lowest travel distance is 300 kilometers. In fact, from the third day, the entire mileage will be greatly exceeded.

The desolation of Canada's no-man's land was even above their previous reconnaissance. On the third day, that is, after more than 800 kilometers from the US base camp, they boldly marched for 20 hours, from five o'clock the day before, until one day the next day, and then rested for an afternoon and evening, and started the daytime march.

The Great Plain is flat and quite desolate. The difficulty of traveling during the day and at night is different. Before, it was set at night for safety, but now it is safe and I don’t worry about being besieged by the US military. Of course, I choose to go through the day. Even if I believe in the armored power, I can reduce the time as much as possible. Of course, I need to reduce it. It may be enough for 450 kilometers per day. From the third day, it will be 650, and then basically 600 has not been taken.

Because of this, Canada's mileage of more than 3,600 kilometers was only 7 days in the end. Thanks to Canada's no-man's land, there is no need to consider any hidden relationships. Except for a few settlements and river docks that need to be avoided, the rest is a smooth road.

It has been 7 days since the cherry blossom plan started in Japan. The armored convoy began to move south. In the early morning of this day, the plane provided a supply. Next, for a full 20 hours, this time the armored convoy was preparing to trek more than 600 kilometers a day, and within one day, crossing the dividing line between the United States and Canada from the northern border of Canada.

In 8 days, the continuous journey exceeded 3,600 kilometers. The speed of such a breakthrough was similar even for the Chinese armored troops during the exercise. In this sense, the Japanese armored troops had such an effect just now, which was very good. They almost completed such an incredible task under bad circumstances.

In the Japanese base camp, I accept this confidence almost every day, and advance a large part of it every day, making Japan's impression of the armored forces a higher level. It is just a plan to demonstrate its strength, but it has become a real military plan. On the map, the United States' border is getting closer and closer. As long as it crosses this, Japan will no longer be passively beaten, which will play a huge role in the entire Alaska strategy.

An armored unit of 5,000 tanks is a very powerful unit. In addition to the same armored unit, it requires at least 10 times the infantry, and it must be blocked on the premise of a preset battlefield. To eliminate it, not only will the number of infantry increase, but also requires a large-caliber heavy artillery cluster to be able to be possible.

As long as such a force appears in the United States and plays a little role, it will cause large-scale turmoil in the United States. At that time, the United States will not be able to concentrate all its strength in Alaska. Japan is under great pressure now. After fighting with the United States for several months, they have also seen the power of the United States. Although the will of the soldiers is not as good as the Japanese Samurai who has been baptized by Bushido since childhood, their equipment is much stronger than that of Japan in terms of tactical flexibility. If it weren't for the defense line built by China, and if it weren't for China's help to train defense, they would have collapsed long ago.

In this way, the emergence of tanks almost caused the entire Japanese defense line to collapse. If it weren't for China's help, it would have been done. Who knows what the United States would do next? Even if it has the advantage of geographical advantages in Alaska, the United States is much stronger than Japan. Not to mention twice the population, just talking about industrial capabilities. Their world's largest industry is like a mountain of pressure without any obstruction.

We must fight the United States. This time the Sakura Plan is a strategic plan, letting the United States know that Japan will not only be beaten passively, but they also have the ability to counterattack. As long as the United States does not defend its homeland well, they can attack the United States at any time. As long as the United States is distracted, even if it mobilizes one-third of its power to be used for local defense, Japan will be much easier.

Now, the goal is right in front of you, and the strategic plan is about to be successful. Yesterday, I arrived at a place less than 300 kilometers away from the US border. Today, I crossed this border and even moved forward continuously, and I would stop until I reached the Missouri River.

The Missouri River is the longest tributary of the Mississippi River, the largest river in the United States. It is located at the highest altitude, with the largest drop and rapid flow. It is one of the most important rivers in the northwest of the United States. Its length alone exceeds 4,000 kilometers. Finally, the Mississippi River was injected north of St. Louis.

In the cherry blossom plan, crossing the Missouri River is an important process. Its meaning is even crossing the US border and crossing the US border, at most it is an attack on the United States. To the north of the Missouri River, it is Montana, the United States. This American continent, which mainly focuses on agriculture, animal husbandry and logging, has a relatively small population density in the United States in the 21st century, with large areas of pastures and farmland, but there is not much industry and population.

Attacking here is just a symbolic attack on the United States. Only by crossing the Missouri River can it be a smooth road. Following the Rockies, attacking the hinterland of the United States, and finally cutting off the Pacific Railway to achieve the ultimate goal.
