No matter how unworthy the Self-Defense Forces are, and they are not a national army in name only, they are just "state civil servants with weapons," they are still quite capable compared to the ordinary Army of Truth. The truth army's ability to seize Lu Zi's military base is related to Qi Yiming's secret support, but it is not so easy for the truth army to expand its achievements again.
After Nerima Base was captured, the defenses of other land, sea and air bases of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces became stricter. Although the Self-Defense Forces were seriously affected by the Ebola virus, the Japanese government, which was not short of money, urgently ordered additional supplies from the United States and China. A batch of three-proof clothing, although relatively cumbersome to use, can provide better protection for the self-defense team members. At least the self-defense team members will be more psychologically stable and will no longer worry about being infected with the virus at any time.
Moreover, the Ebola virus is not transmitted through the air, so soldiers do not need to carry bulky oxygen tanks to fight. This has allowed the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to resume many battles after implementing a higher standard of the three-defense combat manual. ability.
After Asahara captured the Nerima Base, he despised the Self-Defense Forces and over-inflated his confidence. He then made the decision to attack the Kisarazu Base, the main base of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces helicopters. This time, the Army of Truth mobilized more forces. In addition to more than 200 formally trained Army of Truth soldiers, there were also some temporary ragtag groups, with a total number of nearly a thousand people.
"It's just that unlike Aoki Gen's previously planned sneak attack plan, the battle to seize Kisarazu base commanded by Asahara Shoko's confidants was very hasty and amateurish, not to mention the actual situation. Because the Truth Army has received a lot of heavy armaments from the Far East, in addition to firepower such as RPGs and mortars, it even brought imitation Chinese 10-point arrow artillery. The deputy commander, who did not understand military affairs, felt that he had a thousand combatants in his hands, while Kisarazu only had three to five hundred self-defense troops. He ordered the heavy firepower of the Truth Army to be lined up outside the base. Fire artillery into the base.
The volleys of dozens of artillery pieces fired at the Kisarazu base had quite a sound and light effect, especially the Chinese 10-man shooting. The swarm of rockets fired out was both beautiful and enjoyable, and even some soldiers of the Truth Army did not care about any tactical moves. , actually gathered together to watch the fireworks.
The only meaning of this round of shelling is the so-called shock. The deputy commander believed that one of his shellings would frighten the Self-Defense Forces and then surrender to them, so there was no such thing as observation and sighting, just a random attack. . This kind of shelling naturally did not produce any actual combat effects, but instead caused the self-defense members in Kisarazu base to react. Moreover, this base is an army aviation base. Although the personnel there are not full, there are still a considerable number of helicopter pilots and combat personnel.
The command staff of Kisarazu base responded quickly and dispatched several helicopters, carrying Vulcan cannons, mini-cannons and so on. Qi Yiming supports the Army of Truth just as he previously supported guerrillas such as Shining Path, providing many RPGs, crossbows, and avant-garde missiles that can be used for air defense. Naturally, the Army of Truth this time also carried a certain number of individual soldiers. Anti-aircraft missiles. However, when the helicopter flew into the sky and used ferocious firepower to attack the Army of Truth from above, which had already revealed its whereabouts, they were in a hurry and had no time to take out individual anti-aircraft missiles to fight back.
Originally, the formal troops in the Army of Truth who had received several months of military training still had this idea, but when those ragtag groups saw casualties, they immediately became chaotic and seriously affected the operations of the regular army. It also made the Army of Truth's position chaotic and unable to continue fighting. At this time, some combatants in military jeeps and light armored vehicles rushed out of the Kisarazu base. They relied on the armored vehicles to attack the unprotected artillery and other infantry of the Truth Army, directly forming a one-sided scene.
The Army of Truth was completely defeated in this battle. Shoko Asahara and the Shinrikyo cult also realized how much the Army of Truth weighed. The radical attack on the bases of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces was finally stopped. Asahara Shoko called Aoki Gen and other Yubu who really understood military affairs, and held an enlarged meeting to discuss how the Truth Army should develop next.
Herberts, who has become the foreign core of Shinrikyo, concluded: "Now military operations should actually be subordinated to our missionary needs. The spread and expansion of the Ebola virus is still a theme in Japanese society and the Japanese government is most worried about. Partly, and through this doomsday atmosphere, it is time for us to better attract more believers and strengthen ourselves, rather than hastily confronting the government."
Katsuya Takahashi doubted: "Does Mr. Herberts want us to negotiate peace with the authorities? The authorities will definitely not agree."
"It's not like signing a peace treaty or any other peace talks. And indeed, as you said, if we don't show our own strength, the Japanese government will really ignore us. So we still have to fight with the Self-Defense Forces, but this kind of The conflict must be limited in scale, and at the same time, it must be based on the premise of maintaining its own strength, and it must make the Self-Defense Forces suffer and let the authorities understand that we are not so easy to defeat, and then there is a good chance that we canIf we get a substantive acquiescence in the peace talks, the authorities can't do anything to us, and we can take the opportunity to greatly increase our influence. "
Asahara couldn't help but nodded and said: "The growth of Shinrikyo is our core work, and there is no problem with this."
He turned around and asked Aoki Gen, "How are we going to deal with the Self-Defense Forces now? The Self-Defense Forces' assembled strength is much greater than ours. I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble to maintain the current situation."
The military defeat of several Asahara confidants also made Asahara Shoko understand that he could no longer doubt capable people in this regard, and could only let people who were truly knowledgeable participate in it, otherwise the Shinrikyo would be destroyed and he would be finished.
Gendao Aoki: "We only have a military force of less than 3,000 people at full cost, and the actual quality of these people is far lower than that of ordinary national regular troops. Moreover, they are scattered throughout Japan and it is difficult to integrate them together. Mr. Herberts proposed I very much agree with this strategy. We also have the strength to hurt the Self-Defense Forces. We should not participate in a frontal war. If the Self-Defense Forces attack us, we will withdraw and preserve our strength. If the Self-Defense Forces are negligent, we can launch surprise attacks. Relying on the complex terrain of the city and their determination to scorch the earth, they are able to deal with the Self-Defense Forces in the city. However, the Self-Defense Forces are very lacking in urban warfare capabilities. Coupled with the large number of people in the city, it will be difficult for them to use their tactics. Furthermore, Cities are the core of the country's economy, and turning them into battlefields will inevitably lead to the destruction of cities and serious economic damage, and sooner or later the authorities will not be able to bear it."
