934 Raid on Pearl Harbor (14)(1/2)
To be honest, in this era, apart from the powerful warships and aircraft, the army's weapons and equipment were almost all behind, even the tactical things were full of passion and technical content.
It is not only because of not fighting for many years, but also because of the serious lack of war training. Unlike those in Europe and Asia, countries that have been warring for decades and hundreds of years have formed a set of theories to be applied to practice. The German Army General Staff Department has
It can surpass countless countries dozens of streets.
If it were some experienced Chinese generals who commanded this defensive battle, they would never do this with Major General Smith even though they knew they were very inferior to each other. That would be purely a shame. For example, he was previously a man named Chiang Kai-shek.
Chasing the Red Party’s supply army that has been tens of thousands of miles is definitely a master in fighting disadvantaged battles. "If you can't win, you can hide", "eliminate the enemy in the movement", "avoid the real and attack the virtual, concentrate troops to fight annihilation wars" and other tactics
, a skill that was forced out by a million troops during several encirclements and suppressions.
The terrain of Oahu is complex and varied. Except for a dumbbell-shaped beach and flat ground in the middle, most of the places are mountains, and they are mountains with uncertain heights! The main peak is located at more than 1,000 meters away, with a maximum of more than 4,000.
foot.
Moreover, there are dense primitive jungles, tropical grasslands, and large-scale developed sugarcane gardens. Without war, it is definitely the best tourist destination in the world, but when fighting, it is definitely a poor mountain and a bad water!
If the Red Party members came in and had sufficient mechanical tools, weapons and ammunition support, after a long period of preparation, it would definitely become a nightmare for the attacker! Don’t say that you can’t penetrate it in a short period of time, you’ll give you three or five.
Don't think about cleaning it up for months or even longer!
But the US military has no such consciousness at all. They have been accustomed to living on wheels twenty years ago. Short-distance transportation is a car, long-distance transportation aircraft and ships. The time for two legs to run away is extremely limited, and they are better at using it like the Zhu family army.
Countless artillery and ammunition flooded the enemy.
But what if the enemy doesn't confront you head-on? Such a large island can easily hide 100,000 people, and have sufficient supplies. You can't starve to death, fight quickly, kill and eat thoroughly.
.It is as difficult to crack as rubber.
The US military never thought that such a war would be fought, so even though they were forced to be the defenders, they were still an offensive spirit in their bones. A madman like Smith couldn't hold back at all. He couldn't stand it with a slight stimulation. This key precious thing is
The chariot camp sent out, which really killed me!
There are 76 tanks in one armored battalion of the US military, including three companies, M3 Grant and one company, M3 Stuart. This is the product of the US military's own hard work to study and finalize it. It started mass production this year and was launched into service.
Fang was not very happy about this.
Why? They got the monkey version of the "bayonet" tank resold from the four major families, but it still shrank a lot. It was assembled with existing technology and materials, but it had a weight of 18 tons, a 75mm38l main gun and
The front main armor is up to 55mm or more. In particular, it uses the Monkey version of the thick armor, and its bulletproof ability reaches an astonishing 300mm or more!
Especially the fucking 200-hour life engine, it is just a trick to fool people, but because of its strong horsepower, it still rushes 2,000 kilometers with such a large body, which is especially suitable for the complex and wet terrain in central and southern China. It is seen in the US Marine Corps.
Come on, it was just made for them.
In addition to the same monkey version of the "Wild Badger" infantry fighting vehicle, the US military was shocked to find that their main station tanks were not even as good as other people's armored vehicles, so there is no need to mention the taste of affliction.
So the Army took the lead early and directly disassembled the series of things. The guys he created easily exceeded 26 tons, but the overall performance was much higher than their m3 Grant medium tank! Internal test found
.The performance is completely beyond the reach, and even the m4 that can install a 76mm cannon on a rotating turret, which is even more useless.
But American arms dealers are supported by large consortiums. It is impossible to say that they have started to develop but have been abandoned halfway. They can’t stand the self-esteem when imitating Chinese things!
While they continued to develop and improve new medium-sized tanks, they stepped up the imitation of a batch of "bayonets" and other armored vehicles. They were equipped with two heavy armored divisions to support them first. Large-scale installations have to wait until they were successfully developed before they could talk about it.
.
However, the US military also discovered a problem from it, that is, the design concepts of the Chinese version of tanks and vehicles are completely different, and the production process is complicated. If the complete reproduction requires the design of a new production line, the more serious thing is the metallurgical formula, except for the engine Americans can
Use your own gasoline engine to make do with the rest of the artillery, body, chassis, tracks, armor, turrets, etc., without exception, you need to start over.
The four major families can't figure out the metallurgical formula. Their compradors have limited vision and just focus on ready-made things to buy and sell. The entire production process and formula of the metallurgical factories that Zhu Bin strictly controls are top secret. They used to
I didn't expect it, and I couldn't do it later.
This has led to the US military using its own things to make do with it, with a huge increase in weight, a large increase in cost, and a weakened performance. It is inappropriate to calculate it.
As the things the Army has brought, they are naturally given priority equipment, so the Navy has to do it themselves. After the six divisions were rushing to form, they were sorted out and sent out one. For example, all the armored weapons in Smith's hand were still on the rise.
The potential danger of the fresh buttery smell is that the soldiers are not familiar with each other and have limited experience!
A fatal weakness! Without baptism and practical verification, the scattered American soldiers in purely peaceful environments encountered the most powerful enemy as soon as they came up. It must be said that this is a tragedy!
The anxious Smith did not consider the danger at all and issued an order, and fifty or sixty m3 medium light tanks rushed out!
The undulating mountains and dense jungles covered the figures of both sides very well. The smoke from the beach below was greatly absorbed and diluted by the plants. It became very thin when it arrived at the foot of the mountain, except for the armored motorcycle bombing that was breaking through.
The explosion of smoke, the others still looked lush and green!
The roar of the chariot broke this false peace, the dull engine roar shook the valley, and more than ten tons of car bodies crushed the rugged ground that no one had walked for many years. The tracks were worn out quickly, and the body was shaken like a storm.
The small boat inside. The soldiers inside should not be aimed at shooting, they can be considered good if they can not faint and vomit.
It stumbled and slowly rushed out of the valley, smashing and crushing trees. The ugly upper 37mm secondary cannon slowly rotated to search for enemy tracks.
Without infantry companions, it is impossible to move in such a terrain. There is no time left, and the Second Division has not had enough manpower, so we can only take this worst approach.
The m3 75mm short-barrel gun stuck on the main passage up the mountain, and the heading m3 type 75mm short-barrel gun was shaking and tilting, aiming at the top and aiming, which was so clumsy that it was painful. Before they could prepare it, they were ghostly.
The armored motorcycle suddenly flashed out of the dense forest, and the strong body rushed into the air under the powerful power of the tank, aiming at the conspicuous target and "all of them" hit two rockets and grenades!
The front main armor of the m3 Grant is also 51mm the largest, but in the years when cannons are rampant, even professional 37mm armor-piercing bombs cannot withstand it, let alone rockets that specialize in anti-armor! They are so close that they are caught off guard. A bombardment is on the right track.
The stormy high-temperature metal jet almost penetrated the car body. The broken steel plates inside were mixed together and killed most of the crew in an instant. The shells that exploded were immediately filled with one shot, and a turbid mass was rumbling.
The fireworks disintegrate and shatter into a pile of scrap iron!
The stormy armored motorcycles completely ignore the limitations of the terrain. Their design is born to travel through mountains and rivers. As long as they are not completely cliffs, where wild beasts can go, they can go!
The screaming engine sound overwhelmed the screams of the US military, and they dodged left and right, avoided the agile artillery fire of the accompanying m3 Stuart light tank, and hid in the forest and disappeared in one flash!
The m3 Stuart, built in accordance with the spirit of multiple turrets, opened fire frantically with 5 7.62mm machine guns. Continuous rain of bullets ejected from three directions, whizzing across the mountains and forests, and immediately knocked down dense trees and bombed intermittently.
The 37mm cannon shattered the thick trees. The stones blocking the road and the large tracts of plants suffered. In a blink of an eye, it was as incomplete as a dog chewed, and withered withered with smoke and dust.
But they really wanted to deal with the target "ghost" motorcycle, but they couldn't find any of them!
In just ten minutes of the battle, more than a dozen tanks were destroyed, but no attacker was caught. Major General Smith immediately realized that he was in a new big trouble! He could imagine how he faced the tank soldiers' angrily cursed.
How difficult it is to get the clumsy tank guns to aim and shoot when they flash through the window.
To deal with these guys, only air force fighter jets is the most suitable one! But now does he have it? Can such dense forests find a smart guy who is not as tall as a person standing up?
Obviously impossible! Smith felt embarrassed when he was unable to do anything. After thinking about it, there seemed to be no one in his countless weapons that could really restrain the other party. The terrain that was originally the most reliable could not stop much. The infantry stopped him.
If you can't stop, the armored soldiers can't deal with it. What's going on?
Gripping his teeth, he waved his hand vigorously, ordered the soldiers of the two battalions to replenish, provide companionship for the armored battalion, and asked the battalion that had been opened in front to withdraw as the main force to search for enemy tracks and act as a spy. Theirs
The mission does not require a head-on impact. It only needs to fire a warning after discovering the enemy and gain time for the tanks to strike.
At this time, Smith was particularly angry with the damn arms dealers, what kind of rags they provided to him! If the main gun of the m3 Grant could be rotated, at least it wouldn't be impossible to aim, right? The 37mm sub-fire speed is fast enough
Cannon, if it cannot hit directly, the fragmented damage power is too small, so the other party doesn’t care at all!
More than a hundred armored motorcycles have become ghosts between jungle and mountain, elusive, and completely disobeying the defense line of the Second Chariot Battalion without restraint. They just fucked the cold ones and rushed after a shot. They won.
Staying in place for a moment, the heavy car body was as easy to control as if it was growing on them, and there was no clumsiness in common sense at all.
Half an hour later, the blocked passes in front of the entire chariot battalion were basically attacked. The reinforcements from the infantry in front and behind clearly marked the mountain passages, and the geographical details of the entire mountainous area in the southern part of the Kaannai Ridge.
Exposed most of it!
Smith couldn't even think of what the other party wanted to do. He thought he was able to set up a trap to kill his opponent, but unexpectedly, the positioning of the combat target was far different!
In the command center of the Ocean Fleet, a huge holographic map is quickly filling the data. The attack line trajectory from the airborne troops and armored motorcycles are summarized, and some details are described from both the internal and external levels, through the camera carried by each person.
Real-time impact and detection data, calibrate passable vehicles and terrain indicators.
The operations of Smith's Second Division exposed the remaining operational routes of their own, such as soldiers retreating within, armored soldiers and infantry coming out of the periphery. They all outlined a series of passages that allow people to pass through with armored units.
, After all of it is added to the holographic map and regenerated, a series of tactical analysis will be done immediately.
New combat commands were issued, and more than one hundred armored motorcycles scattered in full swing, quickly cutting and detouring from the front towards the middle of the northwest mountains, launching a new spy attempt. The heavy paratroopers who were attacking while rushing to search suddenly stopped and went to the spot.
Rest, adjust and supplement, but the attack aircraft hovering around the periphery suddenly flapped its wings, accelerated and swooped down, quickly pounced on the chariot passes from an ultra-low altitude!
The air defense positions spread all over the coastal mountains opened fire without hesitation! Their mission was placed there, and it would not be possible to fight!
But those attack aircraft were too sneaky! The route they were traveling completely copied the trajectory detected by the armored motorcycles, from the low valley, close to the jungle and sugarcane field, the tip of the grassland flew slightly faster, and the moment they were stunned
After breaking through a few kilometers, he sprinkled rockets and lightweight bombs into pieces at the US military mixed infantry!
Anti-aircraft guns equipped with wireless near-explosive fuze shells all stared at each other! In order to ensure the attack vision, their places were relatively high, and there was no way for the flying units below the vision!
Anti-aircraft machine guns can be suppressed and fired, but in their shooting world, their own infantry are all placed. Not to mention that the mountains and vegetation turn in the curve seriously blocked the view, Damn it, if you really want to continue to attack, who will kill
Not necessarily!
The attack aircraft with full speed is no less than that of professional air-optimal fighter jets. After they have clear targets, they will knock down the bomb and directly pull up the head of the aircraft and run away sideways against the rapidly bulging mountain loop.
.Do not make any hovering stops!
Behind them, the valleys within a radius of dozens of miles were boiling! The infantry that had just been replenished and all the armored combat vehicles that had been reconnaissed were all submerged in the earth-shaking explosion!
The overwhelming rockets were a large area, following the bombing and blasting, and there were almost no units to resist! Dozens of attack aircraft were not shot down, and they easily circled a small circle back to the sea, but took the whole thing.
The Second Armored Battalion almost wiped out all! Except for the several command vehicles of the battalion headquarters behind, the rest of the losses were all gone!
Dozens of rolling fireworks rose from the valley, Major General Smith's eyes were bursting and roaring. He finally understood the opponent's tactics. It was indeed a use of motorcycle soldiers and paratroopers to spy on defense and use air strikes to eliminate his own vitality!
Damn it! It's extremely abominable!
At this time, he suddenly remembered the concept of "Don't fight with the Chinese army to consume head-on, your weapons and tactics are repeatedly instilled in the training of middle and senior officers secretly provided by the General Staff.
