Six hundred and twentieth chapters ground penetrator
In addition to the coastal guns of the same level as the main guns of the battleships, Oahu is also equipped with 6 356mm train guns, 2 305mm train guns, 18 203mm heavy guns (half are forts and half are train guns), 51 155mm grenade guns artillery and field artillery. In addition, there is a division of infantry on the island. If artillery and even medical and other technical arms are included, the total strength of the US military on Oahu is 40,000 to 50,000 (Note 1), of which There are more than 30,000 combatants. If they land directly on the beach, the Japanese landing force with only more than 8,000 people has no chance of winning, and may even be directly wiped out on the beachhead by the sharp artillery fire of the US military.
But the US military also has fatal weaknesses. Especially at this time, the US military on Oahu is not in a state of war. Otherwise, the US will distribute some "medicine" (Note 2) to the participating troops before the war to cheer up, and the US military's fighting spirit will be much stronger. .Historically, the U.S. military has a very significant characteristic in its operations, that is, whether it is an active attack or a well-prepared defensive battle, the mental outlook is not bad. However, if it is suddenly attacked without preparation, it is easy to be attacked. Enemies who are far less powerful than ourselves are beaten to a pulp. The reason is that the US military does not distribute drugs to its officers and soldiers (otherwise the US military would be almost the same as the double-gun soldiers of the Qing Dynasty), so the fighting will is far less than when it used "drugs"
The current Oahu garrison is in this state. The reason why it has not collapsed and the resistance has gradually strengthened is mainly because the powerful fortress group on Oahu is still in the hands of the US military. It has been prepared for this battle for a long time. Yamaguchi Tawen had long anticipated the current psychology of the US military, and came up with the strategy of "capture the thief first, capture the king first". That is to try to destroy the coastal fortresses that the US military believed to be indestructible, in order to destroy their will to resist. ,
Although Yamaguchi Tawen currently does not have large-caliber battleship cannons available, he does have a Zero heavy dive bomber that can carry an 18-ton super-heavy aircraft. As long as the throw height is high enough and the aircraft can gain enough kinetic energy, its penetrating power is very strong. It is very scary. Although the US military fortress on Oahu is relatively strong, the top is still relatively weak. After all, under normal circumstances, the threat from the front (large-caliber armor-piercing from a relatively close range) is always greater than the top. (armor-piercing bombs dropped by aircraft and large-caliber armor-piercing bombs fired from long distances) were larger, but they encountered the Zero heavy dive bombers and the 18-ton "burrowers" they carried in the third attack. This was originally A small flaw that cannot be considered a weakness can be fatal
After China reached a peace agreement with the US dollar, it immediately abided by its promise and liberalized the export of Yunbao, and Japan also benefited from it. It impatiently asked Yamaguchi Duowen in China to contact China, hoping to import Yunbao and imitate it. Hu Weidong knew that it was impossible for the Japanese to successfully imitate it. On the contrary, they might be able to obtain the first-generation cloud explosion technology from Germany in the future. Rather than this, it would be a waste of money. And after guessing Japan's intention to go south, during the negotiations Hu Weidong, who was depressed by the stubbornness of the United States and Britain, couldn't help but have the idea of venting his anger on the American emperor (which would also help China obtain greater interests in World War II). He immediately asked Yamaguchi to hear the latest news from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The new product developed - Earth-penetrating Cloud Explosion (originally based on the Hindenburg-class battleship as the imaginary enemy [after all, China will eventually join the alliance]). The name is not called Earth-penetrating, but in order to stimulate the Japanese's desire to buy , Hu Weidong changed its name in response to the Japanese psychology.) At that time, Yamaguchi Tawen was worried about how to deal with the strong fortress on Oahu. After hearing that this new type of bombing had an amazing effect on the fortress, he immediately decided to spare no effort. Buy at all costs[
However, because the price was too expensive, in order to have sufficient reasons to convince the Japanese "government" and the Navy, Yamaguchi Takan still asked the Chinese side to conduct a demonstration on the 18-ton earth-penetrating cloud blast he wanted to buy most. The results proved that it can be completely used
The heavy Stuka (basically equivalent to the Zero heavy dive bomber imitated by the Japanese) was safely mounted and dropped in a dive, and the one it exploded on the shooting range reached a depth of more than 20 meters (indicating that it had the ability to penetrate 20 meters
thick
The ability of the soil and rock layers) made Yamaguchi Takan even more ecstatic. Although this kind of power can only be achieved when the bomber dives to its ultimate speed and then dropped at an altitude of 3,000 meters, Yamaguchi Takan was very impressed by the Japanese HNA bomber pilots.
Very confident, "For a fixed-point target with a diameter of at least more than 20 meters, and it is a dive bombing method that has the least impact on accuracy, even if the drop height exceeds 3,000 meters, they can still achieve it, right?"
However, although Yamaguchi Dawen personally wanted to buy more, China's offer made Japan's Navy Ministry, which has always been wealthy, daunted. In the end, after Yamaguchi Dawen tried his best to fight for it, Yamamoto Isoroku agreed to buy 20 pieces (for random inspection).
Two coins fell off, so it’s really
In fact, 22 pieces were purchased.). Since the purchase volume was not large, the unit price was naturally even higher. It actually reached 1 million U.S. dollars per piece. This means that one Earth-penetrating cloudburst is equivalent to ten pieces.
(Note 3) Japan’s latest Zero fighter jet
Note 1: Because in this time and space, the United States was at war with Germany first, and Japan was pretending to be a grandson, so the garrison on Oahu at this time was one less infantry division than during the Pearl Harbor incident in history. This is why Yamaguchi Dawen dared to
Great reason to come up with crazy plans.
Note 2: In fact, there are all kinds of drugs, including methamphetamine, heroin, etc., methamphetamine is very effective and cheap, so it is the most used (historically, methamphetamine was not classified as an illegal drug by Western countries until 1962). In fact, during World War II, except China
In addition to being unaffordable, almost every major participating country used it in large quantities. Of course,
Under normal circumstances, the dosage is strictly limited, and it is only distributed to lower-level officers and soldiers of the US military before a battle. Therefore, there are not many addicts, but the harm to the body and mind is still difficult to completely avoid. The US military fought a Gulf War with almost no deaths.
The fact that there are so many patients with "war syndrome" has a lot to do with this.
Note 3: Although the process and production management methods are much better than in history, the consumables and production difficulty of the heavy-duty Zero fighter are also more difficult than that of light aircraft in history. In addition, because the production time is not long, the scale effect
It has not been fully revealed yet, so it is normal for the unit price to be as high as US$100,000.
ps: The unit price of the classic single-engine fighter models during World War II after they started mass production was basically around US$50,000. Among them, the Zero fighter has the lowest unit price due to its simple structure, few consumables, and extremely cheap Japanese labor.
Once planted, the unit price after mass production is less than 20,000 US dollars.
yen (550,000 yen), but the cost in the first two years was still extremely high, and in the first year it was as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars per unit. And it must be noted that due to the relatively weak industrial base, the cost from the time the sample leaves the factory to
The time it took for mass production was the longest among the major powers in World War II (to be continued...)
