Rebirth of the Flying Era

After listening to Du Fei explain the rules, Yamada Kenjiro looked at the square formation opposite.

At this time, the drill had begun, and the phalanx in the distance began to spread out. First, it was divided into four groups, with more than a hundred people in each group, almost a company.

After that, a company was divided into three platoons, and the platoons were divided into squads and quickly deployed to form a battle formation.

Because they were trained in the same school, the routines of both parties are almost the same.

But as the team dispersed, the strategies displayed were completely different.

Dongyang's side was obviously more aggressive and took an offensive stance from the beginning.

Nanyang is more conservative, building positions and organizing defense...

Yamada Kenjiro looked at the telescope for a while again.

Although he doesn't know much about military affairs, he can still watch the excitement even if he doesn't know the truth.

Both sides showed a relatively high fighting quality from the beginning, especially when the teams dispersed, there was no chaos at all, and the movements of each unit seemed orderly.

At least in the eyes of Yamada Kenjiro, both teams are well-trained.

Put down the telescope and looked around.

Nagano Toban, Mishima Matajio, and Honda Shinji were all concentrating on looking through telescopes.

Especially Shinji Honda, he puts down his telescope and takes a look at his watch from time to time.

Du Fei had noticed his action a long time ago.

It is estimated that in the calculation of time, the speed of assembly and deployment of the two teams in front of me is compared with the current Self-Defense Forces.

Du Fei couldn't help but smile.

Although he has never seen what the veteran soldiers of the Oriental Self-Defense Force look like, Du Fei is very sure that with the same equipment and the same number of people, they will definitely not be able to defeat this group of training class students.

Soon, the sound of "ping ping ping pong" gunfire and the "booming" sound of artillery were heard from a distance.

Although all the ammunition used were blanks, the sound of guns and artillery, the smoke rising, and the murderous intent surging, actually gave it a bit of a battlefield atmosphere...

Behind both sides, someone quickly waved flags and conveyed the calculation results of the acting director team to the commanders of both sides.

In this era, there was no electronic equipment to accurately simulate casualties. The director team could only conduct deduction calculations and simulate the battlefield situation based on the usual assessment results of both sides and the on-site situation.

Soon, the Japanese concentrated their mortar firepower and tilted a barrage of artillery fire towards the opponent's position...

Each side of the exercise was equipped with thirty mortars.

According to the battalion-level establishment, this number is not small.

The purpose is also to make it exciting for Yamada Kenjiro and others to watch.

After all, there's no way the 'hand-cranked flower' is as enjoyable as the 'two kicks'.

Sure enough, with the intensive artillery fire, several people present flushed with excitement.

Only Honda Shinji, with a serious face, took a notebook to write down things from time to time.

Du Fei ignored him and was not worried about confidentiality issues.

Anyway, compared with the truly elite People's Liberation Army, the two sides below are just like chickens pecking each other.

Three hours later, the exercise ended.

The director team announced the results of the exercise and sent a more than 20-page study report.

Each step of the exercise is marked on it, as well as the reasons why each team was judged to have been killed or to withdraw from the exercise.

After hearing the results, Kenjiro Yamada and others had mixed feelings.

It can be seen that after a year of training, these people they sent have become qualified warriors.

The original stated purpose was achieved.

But the result of today's performance was that the Nanyang class defeated the Oriental class.

Although neither side received the other's flag, the Toyo Squad was ultimately judged to have failed because its battle losses exceeded 50%.

"A very wonderful exercise." Kenjiro Yamada maintained his grace and took the lead in applauding.

Du Fei smiled and said: "Yamada-kun, everyone, don't mind the outcome, it's just an exercise. If it is a real battlefield, I believe the scale of victory will be more tilted towards you."

Yamada Kenjiro was surprised and didn't understand why Du Fei said this.

Du Fei said bluntly: "The reason is simple, because you are not richer than Nanyang. Strategy and tactics are just skills. The foundation of modern warfare is logistics and equipment..."

Yamada Kenjiro was stunned for a moment.

Du Fei reached out and picked up the exercise report, turned to the second page, and pointed with his finger: "If the Dongyang Class's firepower increases by 30% here, the Nanyang Class's defense line will have been torn apart."

Before Yamada Kenjiro could speak, Mishima and his husband interjected: "If you compare equipment, you will never be able to compare with the Self-Defense Forces." This sentence was said to Yamada Kenjiro. After speaking, he looked at Du Fei: "And according to the If you say this, your country would not have been able to win on the peninsula back then~"

Everyone looked at Du Fei.

In fact, Yamada Kenjiro understood the purpose of Du Fei's words.

To put it bluntly, I still want them to use money to buy equipment.

But what Mishima and his husband said is right, there is a spear for the other side and a shield for attacking the other side.

Du Fei said calmly: "Mishima-kun, this is a good question. However, what I just said has a premise, that is, when the quality and tactical level of both sides' soldiers are similar, the side with superior equipment will have a higher probability of winning. big."

Having said this, Du Fei paused and looked at Mishima and his husband with a smile: "As for the Peninsular War, I'm glad that Mr. Mishima can objectively evaluate the outcome of this war. And this victory just proves what I just said. View."

After taking a breath, Du Fei continued: "Back then, the People's Liberation Army, which had been honed in decades of war, was the strongest in the world in terms of tactics and willpower. Unfortunately, our equipment was too poor. Otherwise... there would be no 38 or 39 lines, and the good land would have been driven into the sea long ago."

Having said this, Du Fei looked at Mishima Mataikio meaningfully.

In that case, across the Tsushima Strait, which is a strip of water, is Kyushu Island in the East.

Mishima felt Du Fei's hidden evil intentions and gritted his teeth.

Although his position is problematic, it does not affect his judgment.

Not many people even know better than him what the virtues of the so-called Self-Defense Forces are today.

In his own words, they are a group of red deer with expensive equipment but no blood...

That night, Du Fei and others did not stop at Sijiazhuang.

After watching the exercise, we took the evening train directly back to the capital.

Along the way, Mishima and his husband were in a trance. They kept looking out the dark window, wondering what they were thinking.

Honda Shinji took a notebook, kept writing and drawing, and was still analyzing the day's drills.

Du Fei and Yamada Kenjiro stood alone at the junction of the two carriages, each holding a cigarette in his hand.

There is not much coolness in the summer evenings.

Kenjiro Yamada was well-dressed, but his clothes had already been wet and dry many times.

Du Fei's physique was strong, but he didn't sweat much. He looked no different from when he came out in the morning.

Du Fei took a puff of the Oriental cigarette that Kenjiro Yamada had just handed him: "Yamada-kun, are you satisfied with the results of this year's training?"

Yamada Kenjiro nodded repeatedly.

He had communicated with Honda Shinji privately before.

According to Honda Shinji's judgment, those Toyo students in the training class can be called "well-trained", and their tactical level and execution ability far exceed those of the Self-Defense Forces.

But then, Kenjiro Yamada made a request: "Dusan, given the current situation, can you... allow these students to return home early?"

Du Fei said in surprise: "Go back now? There are many things that I haven't learned yet~"

Yamada Kenjiro smiled bitterly: "If we delay it for another year, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Du Fei understood that the so-called lack of time was because he was afraid that there would be any changes in the flowers and the beautiful land in the next year.

When the time comes, they will be caught in the middle and unable to advance or retreat.

It doesn't matter to Du Fei, it's all your consumption anyway, you can leave whenever you want.

But the money has already been paid, and it is absolutely impossible to refund the tuition.

Our service tenet is to never refund money.

Yamada Kenjiro was very sensible, but he didn't mention the tuition refund.

But he found another way: "As for...the remaining year, I plan to organize another group of people, I don't know..."

Du Fei didn't bother to take advantage of him and said with a smile: "Of course, we never let our friends suffer when we grow flowers."

Yamada Kenjiro breathed a sigh of relief, put the matter aside, and asked instead: "Dusan, in terms of equipment..."

Du Fei could feel that Yamada Kenjiro was suppressing his eagerness and asked: "It has been decided, this year?"

Kenjiro Yamada did not hesitate and nodded directly.

Du Fei didn't ask much. Anyway, it's the same sentence. You spend money and I provide services. It's that simple.

As for the final success or failure of Yamada Kenjiro and the others, Du Fei didn't particularly care.

If it succeeds, it would be better to occupy Hokkaido and form a new pattern in Northeast Asia that is different from the previous one.

Even if it doesn't work out, there's nothing wrong with maintaining the current structure.

Anyway, let’s get the money first.

As for how to arm Yamada Kenjiro and the others, Du Fei was already prepared.

I consulted with someone in advance about the most reasonable equipment configuration for fighting guerrillas in Hokkaido.

Du Fei said: "You will focus on guerrilla warfare for a long time in the future, and the light equipment will be configured according to our country's standards. But the Self-Defense Forces you face are well-equipped, equipped with a large number of tanks and fighter planes. There is no solution for the problem of fighter planes for the time being. , we can only use mountains and forests as cover..."

Hearing this, Yamada Kenjiro frowned, but he smoked silently without making a sound.

He understood that there was really no way around it.

Du Fei saw his expression, but he had other plans in his heart, but it wasn't time yet.

Then he said: "Tanks and armored vehicles must be targeted. Only by killing a large number of armored units on the battlefield can we create a huge psychological deterrent to the enemy and make them shrink to big cities. Only then can guerrilla warfare be fought."

Yamada Kenjiro said: "You mean, rocket launcher~"

Du Fei said: "Of course, we have just verified on Zhenbao Island that anti-tank rocket launchers are the most effective anti-tank weapon for light infantry in the absence of tanks. As far as I know, the main thing you faced in Hokkaido was 61 tank."

Having said this, Du Fei smiled contemptuously.

This is the first type of tank developed by Toyo after the war. As always, it adheres to the tradition of Toyo tanks of "thin skin but big stuff", and its defensive power is not as good as the Type 59 tank.

Using the new anti-tank rocket launcher, as long as it hits, it will hit the target no matter where it is.

Du Fei said: "According to published data, the Self-Defense Forces currently have a total of 800 tanks, more than one-third of which are deployed in Hokkaido to defend against Sugo, and there are about twice the number of armored personnel carriers..."

Du Fei looked at Kenjiro Yamada: "Yamada-kun, my number should be correct, right?"
