It was a makeshift field command center on the edge of the jungle.

In the camouflage military tent, Cheng Gong, Keitel, and Ishihara Waner all wore the same style of Donghui Navy Camouflage Army training uniforms, and despite the hot and humid temperature, the wind and discipline buttons were also tightly buttoned.

Cheng Gong loves to drink good tea and smoke cigars, and these two hobbies are famous all over the world. However, Keitel and Ishihara don't drink much tea and smoke, but His Majesty King Donghui is a smoker. Therefore, Keitel and Ishihara could only accompany the young King Donghui in front of them very depressed, and they had to pretend to know a lot about tea ceremony and cigar culture, and accompany Cheng Gong to smoke while drinking tea.

"Your Majesty, are you really that confident? Are you sure our coalition forces can't catch your special forces? Keitel was obviously a little embarrassed by the calm and confident look on Cheng Gong's face.

"Hehe, jungle warfare, there are too many comprehensive factors to consider, and each of them may be the trigger for failure." Cheng Gong smiled confidently: "I'm thinking about how many officers and soldiers of your coalition infantry regiment will have non-combat attrition because they are not adapted to the jungle environment after today. ”

Ishihara's heart moved when he heard this, and he suddenly shouted loudly outside: "Someone! ”

A sturdy and sturdy army junior in his thirties appeared at the door of the military tent.

"Call me right away!" Ishihara said in a deep voice.

"Hay!" The young man took the order and turned around and walked away quickly.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the military tent, followed by the loud voice of a middle-aged man: "Report, the commander of the Red Army's participating troops, Abe Norihide, was ordered to arrive!" ”

"Come in!" Ishihara said with a straight face.

A major general of the Dongying Army, who was about forty years old, strode in with his head held high, strode in front of Cheng Gong, Ishihara Wan'er, and Keitel, and stood up and saluted.

"How many of the coalition forces participating in the exercise are now showing symptoms of maladaptation?" Ishihara asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

"Report to Chief Ishihara, as of an hour ago, a total of 352 officers and men of the coalition forces have basically lost their combat effectiveness because of vomiting and diarrhea, colds and fevers." Abe replied with a look of shame on his face, and after speaking, he lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, did you anticipate this situation?" Ishihara looked at Cheng Gong with a solemn face and asked.

"Fighting in tropical and subtropical rainforests will be a new proposition for the major military powers in the world today." The old god Cheng Gong was spewing clouds and mist on the ground, and said with an indifferent smile: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, and modern warfare has long ceased to be a trench and a crowd tactic like the First World War." Fighting in Africa and Southeast Asia, the tropical and subtropical rainforests will be a special battlefield that cannot be avoided. Therefore, this king specially arranged this confrontation exercise to let you know how to know what is a real jungle battle. ”

Ishihara and Keitel nodded thoughtfully and looked at each other, and Keitel suddenly asked, "How is the battle progressing now?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency Marshal, before coming down, I just received a message from the director's team that a search company of ours had strayed into a minefield set by the enemy, and the company had been announced to withdraw from the exercise." Norihide Abe pulled his head and replied in a low voice.

"In other words, our army has been wiped out by the enemy more than a hundred people?" Ishihara asked in a gloomy voice.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Norihide Abe nodded and replied.

"The latest battle briefing!" The voice of the exercise director team came from the radio station in the military tent: "Ten minutes ago, a small detachment of the Blue Army disguised itself as Red Army personnel and raided the Red Army's field hospital, and all the military doctors and nurses in the hospital, including 352 sick and wounded soldiers, were all killed and withdrew from the exercise. ”

"This is so inhumane! I protest! Keitel blushed and shouted at Cheng Gong in protest.

"What a ruthless method!" A look of horror flashed in Ishihara's eyes, and he said with a long sigh.

"In war, the effective way to preserve oneself is to destroy the enemy's living forces by all possible means." Cheng Gong pouted disapprovingly and smiled: "A veteran who has returned to the army after being healed from his injuries on the battlefield is far more effective than ten recruits. The situation just reported by the exercise director group has also fully exposed the serious loopholes in your work of guarding and guarding front-line field hospitals. Now that the field hospital of this coalition infantry regiment is gone, their wounded and sick soldiers will not be able to receive medical treatment at some point, and the non-combat attrition will be exacerbated. ”

This exercise was a simulated actual combat conducted by Cheng Gong in light of the numerous weaknesses and loopholes exposed by the German and Japanese armies in the battlefields of Africa and Southeast Asia in World War II, and by making targeted use of the complex terrain of the jungle.

This brand-new mode of operation was not only a new proposition for the German-Japanese officers and men participating in the exercise, but also deeply shocked the senior German and Japanese generals who were observing the exercise group and the director's office.

Can the battle still be fought like this?

Why is the opponent's battlefield communications so well-informed? Why are they so proficient in how to survive and fight in the jungle? How did they come up with so many traps?

On the fifth day of the exercise, the 1,586 officers and men of the German-Japanese infantry regiment participating in the exercise were drastically reduced by nearly half! Only eight members of the opponent withdrew from the exercise.

Of the officers and men "killed" in the coalition infantry regiment, only more than 200 fell to the ground under the guns of the hand. Most of the rest were reimbursed by the enemy's designs of various mines, traps, minefields, and various diseases caused by adaptation.

Cheng Gong also accepted it when he saw it, after all, he still had to take into account the face of the German army top brass, so he took the initiative to suspend this military confrontation exercise.

In the big tent of the barracks in the command center, Keitel, Kraushitsch, Ishihara Waner, Okamura Ninji and other German and Japanese military bigwigs sat there with their faces pale, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Why did it stop? Why don't you fight? Our officers and soldiers can still fight! We can keep fighting! I'm sure I'll be able to wipe out all this shameless and insidious enemy! I categorically do not believe that an infantry regiment under the command of I, Rommel, would lose to a thirty-six-man Donghui Marine Corps! I resolutely don't believe ......" Rommel, the commander of the coalition forces participating in the exercise, shouted all the way in from the outside with red eyes.

In just five days, it seems that the German army major general, who was later named the "Desert Fox", has aged nearly ten years. His eyes were bloodshot, in addition to not resting well, but more importantly, he was now red-eyed.

"Shut up! Don't you think you're ashamed enough! Keitel interrupted Rommel's request with a grim rebuke: "You have lost all the honor of the German Army!" ”

"Marshal! I ......" Rommel raised his hand and took off his military hat, squatted on the ground and began to cry loudly. He didn't know why this was happening, he had so many good fighters, but why did he lose so badly? The other party obviously only has 36 officers and soldiers, he really can't figure it out!

"Report! Liu Yan, commander of the Marine Corps of the Donghui Defense Army, was ordered to report for duty! Liu Yan's crisp voice came from outside the military tent.

"Please come in!" Cheng Gong stood up and raised his voice to greet him.

Liu Yan, who was dressed in a jungle camouflage special operations outfit and had not had time to wash off the three-color oil paint on her face, strode in with her head held high, and saw the senior generals of the German army and the Japanese army full of people, Liu Yan chose to ignore it and saluted straight to Cheng Gongli: "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

"You're a woman?" When Ishihara heard this, he stood up in surprise and asked.
