Chapter 2490: 2 hands ready for three

?

So, now the problem is here. Since the Japanese army can deploy artillery to cover the beachhead in the middle of the island, then in order for the US army to gain a foothold on this island, it must go deep into the island to clear all these artillery! However, is that easy? Obviously it is not easy. Not only is it not easy now, it will not be easy 50 years later! Close combat in the jungle heralds a large number of casualties! It is not only Japanese bullets that harm the US military, but also weather and various diseases!

As for whether it is possible to blockade the island so that the Japanese can misfire after consuming all the long-range ammunition? This is unlikely. The reason is very simple. It is also because of the geographical environment that New Britain is too close to New Ireland! After bypassing the islands, the U.S. fleet is likely to be attacked by the Japanese navy and the army, and the blockade is a long process. If the U.S. fleet is to blockade and at the same time ensure the landing site, it must be divided, and it needs to be divided. To remind, the length of this island is 350 kilometers. Even if you walk sideways, the distance between the blockade fleet and the fleet that protects the landing site is quite far away! If the real party is attacked, the other party will not have time to rescue!

So, returning to the simplest land warfare problem, in history, if a city or stronghold is attacked, if the city has foreign aid, the probability of victory of the defender is more than 80%. Therefore, the Americans are actually a bit worried about this. Of course, Raidel believes that someone in the US Army and Navy should understand this, but American politicians don't understand...

Finally, talk about the terrain of New Ireland. The southern part of New Ireland Island is full of mountains and the terrain is complex! In the northwest, there are the Lambston and Lylette highlands, with an elevation of about 610 meters. Only a small area along the coast has a small alluvial fan plain. If the previous factors are no longer friendly, then analyzing this from the island topography is simply It's the nightmare of the offensive side!

There are highlands or plateaus in the northwestern part of the island. It must have relatively flat terrain. So there is no problem with building an airport here, but, unfortunately, it is impossible for American battleship naval guns to shoot shells on a high platform 600 meters above sea level. This position is too high! Moreover, the location may be obscured. what? Do you use airplanes to pretend? This, have you asked if there is a land-based aircraft?

The central part of the island is a complex mountainous area, which means that the offensive side will be very troublesome, and because of the obstacles of the mountainous area, it is easy for American battleships to have no firing boundary. As a result, the offensive's firepower advantage has been greatly reduced, what? Do you rely on carrier-based aircraft? The single-engine ground attack firepower of this era is not worth relying on! And because of the attendance rate, single-engine carrier-based aircraft is even less trustworthy!

Of course, the most terrible thing is the landing area. There are only a few alluvial fan plains on the edge of the island. These plains are within the range of long-range artillery in the middle of the island. The Americans will choose this place, and the Japanese know it too! Therefore, from a specific tactical point of view, the U.S. Army almost hit the Japanese muzzle, which is extremely unfavorable tactically!

As for the Americans are stupid? how to say? If you say that the Americans do not understand at all, it is certainly impossible, but if you want to say how much experience the Americans have in attacking islands and land warfare, that is nonsense! From the founding of the United States to the present, he has never won wars with all the countries that can be called great powers. It is not too much to say that there is no experience in large-scale wars, because Spain has not invested much defense in Cuba on this plane. , So the US military has no actual combat experience.

Americans can come up with all kinds of landing crafts because of their needs. These things are indeed original, which is very good, but it only solves the problem of how to get from sea to land. When on land, you still have to fight. Land warfare! Don’t forget, the Bismarck Islands back then were a German colony. The Germans knew it well. Ryder had visited some German army generals, and in the face of the environment and geography of New Ireland, the German army generals meant that they could not It's best not to fight, this is a meat grinder, not much easier than attacking the Dardanelles!

From the perspective of land warfare alone, attacking New Ireland Island is already a nightmare level of difficulty, and the candidate to attack this dungeon is still an American, a newcomer to the army, so, in Ruprecht's view, If you are a newcomer, if you don't go to the novice village mission like Guadao, you will go straight to the nightmare difficulty. Aren't you uncomfortable? Ruprecht is not optimistic about the US military, apart from strategically, how to fight land warfare is another reason! The Germans have reminded the Americans, but before leaving enough blood, the Americans don't have too many specific concepts about this so-called difficulty!

"So do we have a better solution?" Su Xiong thought about it and asked.

"Isn’t it good to let the Americans meet and break the blood in New Ireland? We only need to make sure that the German-American coalition forces won in the end. The process is not important." Raidel said: "The war is something. The essence is a kind of exchange. If the sincerity of the Americans is reached, they can naturally kill the Japanese or force the Japanese to withdraw from the New Ireland Island."

Regarding Su Xiong’s words, Raidel couldn’t understand ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, with the end of the war, the foundation of cooperation between the virtues has been shaken, and now they are just using each other. Since they are using, then work hard. Well? Even the Americans don’t appreciate it, so you can just make a sword without thinking. Why take it seriously?

"The Americans are indeed our potential competitors, but the Japanese are our enemies. Whether it is because Japan is on the side of the British in the war or because in the future we must teach the Japanese how to respect a strong man, we must let The Japanese know how powerful the German Sabre is. The crown prince hopes that this cut will prevent the Japanese from attacking German economic interests in the Far East within 20 years." Su Xiong said.

The current basic situation is still that virtue is the alliance and Japan is the enemy. With this major premise unchanged, Germany can make the United States suffer a bit, but it must not affect the progress of the entire war, as well as the United States’ economic assistance to Germany. The worship of German military power!

There is such a kind of friend in the world, if you can't fight, you become a friend! Even if the foundation of the relationship between virtue and virtue is not there, as long as the Americans continue to fear the armed forces of the Germans, this peaceful relationship will continue.
