Volume 11, Thunderbolt, Chapter 59, Depressed Japan
.
As a leader, the problem was solved in a general direction. After meditation, I finally thought of a suitable thug and the Japanese again. Of course, this time I wanted to persuade the Japanese. Obviously, I had to pay some price. Three years ago, China abandoned Japan, which led to the defeat of the Japanese and eventually became slaves of the country. Now, the 13 million Japanese scattered on the West Bank of the United States have almost all become soldiers. This is an iron-blooded army trained with half of the population. As long as they are given appropriate weapons, they can be trained into qualified elite soldiers.
Sometimes, when Zhao Gang saw the war report on the West Bank of the United States, he was also very shocked. Under such poor conditions, the Japanese could still hold some of the land and had a gradual counterattack. After carefully studying the habits of the Japanese, he found that the Japanese spiritual world was really suitable for this hellish environment. However, as Zhao Gang expected, the Japanese opponent was the United States, and to some extent, it could be said that the peak of white people. He did not retreat at all under the attack of the Japanese. Although both sides were bleeding from each other, the Japanese's losses were obviously much greater than that of the Americans.
After much consideration, the Japanese had to accept the olive branch handed over by China. However, this time the Japanese decided that if they did not receive the goods, they would never send troops. Soon the first batch of arms arrived on the West Coast of the United States, including 75mm artillery and other weapons arrived at the base of the Japanese Resistance Army. The Japanese weapons shed tears and sent these equipment to the six most elite divisions in joy. Of course, he didn't know that these weapons were replaced by old equipment from an Arc division. They were once equal, but after more than ten years, the gap was a difference between heaven and earth.
Ten days later, the first batch of 500,000 Japanese troops arrived thousands of miles away. Although a carriage was slowly crowded, the Japanese were still very excited and exchanged their experiences with their eyes. Twenty years ago, Japanese children knew about trains. Twenty years later, the Japanese degeneration was astonishing and became a race that was addicted to force.
In order to give these new Japanese generals an opportunity to adapt to the environment, on the 415th, several Japanese generals were taken to the Southern Line General Command and started a classroom education. At the meeting, Liu Meng, the adjutant of the Southern Line Commander, began to talk about the difficulties faced by Japanese soldiers.
"One is the distance of maneuver. It is located in the western part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is far from our deep hinterland and densely populated and economically developed areas. The main force of the battle has to complete a journey of more than a thousand kilometers from the assembly area to the combat area, two-thirds of which are high-altitude mountainous areas. The distance between the various battle directions of the war zone is also more than a hundred kilometers, such as the distance from Yecheng to Sanshili Barracks is 367 kilometers. Yecheng to Tianshuihai is 579 kilometers, Sanshili Barracks are 674 miles from Shiquan River, and Sanshili Barracks are 300 kilometers away. From Shache to the 300-mile barracks are garrisoned and crossed 3 times on the way. After 9 water-destroying sections and 4 landslides, 7 areas with inconvenient convoys are manually repaired. The total room is 20 kilometers per hour, and it takes 4 hours in total.
Second, there are fewer motorized modes, only trunk lines of railways, and air transport and road transport modes are relatively single. Highways do not form a detailed network. Currently, the trunk and branch roads in the whole district have a total length of 36,579 kilometers, and the average density is only 9 per 100 square kilometers per 100 square kilometers. The average 32 miles per 100 square kilometers.
Most roads are under the standard of level 6, with steep slopes and sharp bends, small bending radius, extremely poor road conditions, and more road damage. The only Xinxi-Tibet highway in the region runs across the north and south, is responsible for the transportation tasks of most of the materials, equipment and personnel from the hinterland of the war zone to the combat areas and the front line of the border, and has a huge loading intensity. This single mode of transportation and road conditions have a great impact on the maneuver of the troops.
The third is the difficulty of mobility. The troops implement long-distance maneuver in high-altitude mountainous areas where there are few populations and materials, and the security problem is particularly prominent. First, road security is difficult. In addition to the good road conditions of the Xin-Tibet Highway, the road surface of the Hei'a Highway and the Lapu Highway are narrow and have poor road conditions, and the road along the route is deserted. Due to the high altitude, harsh climate, sparse population, long mobile roads, and the maintenance force for thousands of kilometers of routes is extremely short, making it difficult to ensure the smooth flow of the entire road.
In addition, the important supply station of Tianshuihai from the Indian Leh City to our Xinzang Highway is only a mile away in a straight line, and only 250 miles to our thirty-mile barracks. As well as the Indian Air Force's effective combat radius, it is very vulnerable to attacks during wartime and interrupts traffic, which is extremely difficult to repair; the second is the difficulty of food and accommodation. There are only a few along the Xinzang Highway that can guarantee battalion-level food and accommodation stations, such as those above the regiment-level scale
The operation, food and accommodation are mainly guaranteed by the troops; thirdly, technical support is difficult. Automobile repair shops, and there are no ordnance repair shops. Even if a certain number of field repair shops are opened during wartime, it is difficult to undertake the maintenance tasks of a large number of vehicles and equipment.
The last point is that the maneuver task is heavy. The heavy maneuver task is mainly manifested as: First, the maneuver task is extensive. In terms of time, not only the battle deployment must be completed through maneuver during the battle preparation stage, but also throughout the entire process of the battle implementation; in terms of content, not only the troop movement, weapons and equipment movement, but also the maneuverability of materials and equipment; in terms of operation, not only the persistence, support, anti-aircraft, counter-assault, and closed breakthroughs in defensive operations, but also the interlude, detour, encirclement, and pursuit in counter-attack attack operations; in terms of scale, not only the
The second-line border defense camp has a large-scale maneuver, and there are also maneuvers from the division and regiment scale from deep areas. The contradiction between the widespread maneuver task and the single maneuver mode has increased the intensity of maneuver. The second is the disparity in elevation displacement. The Xin-Tibet Highway-Piao Tianwen-Yecheng is 1,443 meters above sea level, the end point is 3,600, and the elevation displacement of the entire line is nearly 5,000 meters. In addition, most of the combat areas are above 4,500 meters in the sea. [;== To the plateau with an altitude of 6,000 meters, whether in the personnel or the harsh environment in the area, it undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the troops' maneuvering."
"Hey, General, I know all this. What I want to know now is when we can go to the battlefield, maybe because of the long-term battle in difficult environments, our beards have turned gray. Looking at him respectfully saluting a colonel who is only in his twenties, it is really an inconsistent picture.
"No, these are the current situation. I hope your army can overcome this difficulty and achieve excellent results." The adjutant ended the talks in a very standard official language. In fact, the troops stationed in Tibet faced far more difficulties than this, and the delay in opening up the gap and making breakthrough progress reflects to a certain extent the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army and has not grown with the increase of weapons and equipment. After enjoying a much richer material than the predecessors, the fighting will shown by the newly enlisted soldiers was surprisingly weak, which prompted Zhao Gang to decide to introduce a stream of live water to stimulate the increasingly rigid Chinese army.
This Japanese army was put into the most difficult Ali area, with a front width of 1,050 miles. In addition, the southern Xinjiang area behind the battle was large in size, but the areas suitable for combat were very narrow, and the use of combat forces and the scale of combat were limited. In the border areas in the main combat direction, except for a few longitudinal mountain passes, it is difficult to find roundabout or horizontal roads. The maneuver and deployment of combat forces, the use of heavy equipment such as large-caliber artillery and tanks will be greatly restricted. The key points of the control channel are often the key to seizing the initiative on the battlefield. The combat operations of both China and India will mainly revolve around the channels.
After China's continuous attacks, the Indians entered a defensive state. The Indians' defense mostly focused on key areas, and strictly controlled valleys, passages and mountain passes that may be the axis of attack, forming a depth defense system that defends point mounts, points to form surfaces and surfaces to form lines. In repeated attacks, it was impossible to break through here because the problem of military input cannot be solved. Of course, breaking through here is not very meaningful. Even if you break through Ali, you have to face the mountains behind Ali. The guards there are towering into the clouds and altitude of about 7,000, making it even more difficult to break through.
After a few days of simple rest, the Japanese began to attack. Unlike the Chinese army, the Japanese mainly rely on or use channels when attacking, so that they can deploy troops and weapons, quickly penetrate deep into depth to attack the enemy's center of gravity, facilitate maneuvering, coordination and support. Because the passage is small and inconvenient for large troops and heavy equipment to deploy and use, the weapons given to their soldiers are very pitiful every time they enter into battle, with only one rifle, which can be used with bayonets at any time. When facing mine formations and other terrains, the Japanese rolled past. With such a simple attack, the Japanese made progress with their ultimate patience. Within three days, they actually conquered the first line of defense of the Indians.
