Chapter 575 575 Chaos

In fact, the battle strategy of the Truth Army, which changed its strategy, was nothing more than the set of the great men of the past: "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue." Moreover, with Japan's dense urban circles, the Truth Army has a good space for maneuver and room for maneuver, and although they are relatively short of weapons, the threat they can pose is still very huge. In particular, after capturing some bases such as Nerima, the Truth Army transferred a large amount of ordnance to the Truth Army organizations in various places, and they frequently attacked government facilities, and when the Self-Defense Forces appeared, they immediately flashed and never fought with the Self-Defense Forces.

In fact, this is also an allusion to the psychology of the Truth Army, which is either a rabble that has just picked up a gun, or has only been hastily training in the Far Eastern Republic for a few months, fighting head-on with the self-defense forces of the regular army, and must be weak-minded. Following the urban guerrilla warfare strategy formulated by Aoki Moto, they only need to bully ordinary civilians or police, harass public agencies, and cause sabotage, while when the real Self-Defense Forces come, they just leave and are not happy.

After a change of strategy, Aoki Mototo, commanded Shinrikyo militants in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and fought with the strength of about a division of the Self-Defense Forces entering the city. Prior to the war, Aoki had deliberately sabotaged Tokyo's civilian communications facilities, which had no effect on the SDF, but limited the ability of Tokyo residents to inform the SDF and the government, and increased the city's panic.

When people were unable to make phone calls, even some power grids were forced to be cut off, and scattered gunshots were heard in the streets, many Tokyo citizens did not care about the danger of the Ebola virus, and fled from their homes with their families and some small children, wanting to evacuate from the war zone. Long queues began to form on the highways, making it difficult for SDF tanks to run smoothly in Tokyo, especially for bulky guys like Type 90 main battle tanks, which could not be used in urban warfare.

The SDF had no choice but to abandon their heavy equipment and enter the city of Tokyo on foot to begin encirclement and arrest the Truth Army. However, this is destined to be a nightmare for the Self-Defense Forces, and although the Truth Army will not be able to fight a big battle and is basically incompetent in frontal combat, it will not be difficult to carry out such a calculated and unintentional sneak attack.

In particular, many of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Truth Army were artifacts of the Self-Defense Forces produced in China and the former Soviet Union, and a few guys came out with a mortar on their backs, and when they saw the Self-Defense Forces wandering into the city, they set up small cannons and fired a cannon at them. The 60mm mortar shells were not too powerful, but they terrified the Self-Defense Forces, who had not experienced much war. Often, after a few mortars were fired, light and heavy machine guns were fired at the SDF members in a fixed position.

The combat experience of the Self-Defense Forces is even inferior to that of some Shinrikyo soldiers, and they have been beaten by this style of fighting, and they have suffered a lot of damage. Or there are some Shinrikyo soldiers who are even more single, carrying Chinese 107 rockets without artillery mounts, firing directly with a fuse, and one person can run with two shells on his shoulder, and open fire when he sees the Self-Defense Forces. The SDF was so uncomfortable with the fact that the enemy could fight in every corner of the city, and within 10 hours of the street fighting in Tokyo, the SDF frontline commander had to apply to the Unified Staff Supervision Department to clear the way for the SDF members by destroying buildings.

However, such a measure must not be implemented, because the city of Tokyo is the essence of Japan, and it is also where the interests of the major conglomerates lie, and with Japan's intertwined political and business relations, the rich people naturally cannot tolerate it when they learn that their office buildings and shops will be blown up by the Self-Defense Forces with artillery shells, and that the compensation has not yet been decided. However, the decision to be made by the Unified Staff Supervision Department in the form of destroying the city is also under great pressure, and it is impossible to carry it out.

When they were unable to effectively advance inside the city, the Self-Defense Forces had no choice but to temporarily stop their more aggressive attack methods in Tokyo in order to avoid causing more damage, and instead occupied some key points and began to prepare to continue fighting with Shinrikyo in Tokyo.

This cannot be said to be a very stupid method, it can only be said to be a relatively stable strategy, but if this continues, Tokyo will inevitably become the main battlefield of contention between the two sides, and the protracted contention will inevitably cause huge losses, not only economically.

In addition to Tokyo, the activities of the Pram订购Army were also rampant in some other parts of Japan. Their strategy is similar to that in Tokyo, although they are not led by the old and spicy commander Aoki Moto, but the fight is not ugly. Anyone who is smarter can basically step on it well, and when the Self-Defense Forces come, they immediately retreat to a place of refuge. They then continued to operate in areas beyond the reach of the Self-Defense Forces, undermining the government, killing and injuring public officials, and coercing believers.

The size of the Self-Defense Forces is simply not enough to cope with a civil war of this intensity, and no matter how small Japan is, there are several thousand large and small cities and counties, and it is impossible to mix in one county, and the Truth Army, which has a few dozen people as a unit, immediately moves on to the next prefecture and continues to engage in their sabotage. And the land where the Truth Army passed, even if it was not devastated, the impact and damage caused were not small.

The biggest headache for the Japanese government and the Self-Defense Forces is that the Truth Army is a military organization of Aum Shinrikyo, and any military force must rely on a certain backbone in order to develop. Guerrilla warfare could be carried out in China in those years because it had a mass base. Although the expanding Shinrikyo religion has lost some of its adherents due to conflicts with the government, there are also a considerable number of people who believe in Aum Shinrikyo because of the virus or simply the problem of faith.

In the areas where the Pratra Army operates, there are basically local churches established by Aum Shinrikyo. After Aum Shinrikyo openly rebelled against the Japanese authorities, many of the local Shinrikyo churches that had remained outside went underground. Some of the Shinrikyo followers are scattered in different places and look like civilians, but when the Pratra Army and Shinrikyo need them, they jump out to provide all kinds of assistance, including providing supplies and intelligence.

This also makes it extremely difficult for the Self-Defense Forces to wipe out the Truth Army, just as the Japanese army cleared up the Tuba Road in China, and it is very difficult to eliminate the guerrillas that have the support and cover of the people. What's more, compared with China back then, Japan can be regarded as a row of buildings and buildings, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces simply do not have so many troops to investigate the past one building after another.

Of course, what is even more troublesome is that at this time it was also the period of Ebola virus infection, and many Japanese people were very unwelcome to the Self-Defense Forces who could bring the virus back and forth, and they held an uncooperative attitude, and refused to allow the Self-Defense Forces to enter their homes for inspection.

If the Self-Defense Forces forcibly break through, it may cause the problem of physical assault, and many of the Truth Forces are still thieves, they are all Japanese natives, they hide their weapons somewhere, and then find some shelter arranged in advance, pretending to be ordinary civilians, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces cannot distinguish at all, so they can only stare dryly.

Moreover, during the months-long encirclement and suppression of Shinrikyo, Shinrikyo has also continued to grow. The number of people infected with Ebola is increasing, and the trauma of war is more frightening and seeking sustenance. Obviously, the Japanese government is already a mess, and many people have already clamored for Hosokawa to step down and take responsibility for the whole incident. But according to the special handling method in wartime, as long as Hosokawa Goxi is strong, others have nothing to do with him.

The Shinrikyo missionaries sent by Shoko Asahara are privately active all over Japan, they mainly contact those who live in the fear of the virus and war, and then secretly gather them in private places of activity to carry out a centralized brainwashing, and in this process, most of the believers will become fanatical believers in Shinrikyo and are willing to give everything for their faith, and the Shinrikyo organization will select some people to be released to secretly serve the activities of the Pravitra, and they think that the believers who are not loyal and devout enough, then continue to carry out brainwashing education.

While the war is becoming more and more devastating, Japan is still helpless against the Ebola virus, and even in the process of encircling and suppressing the Truth Army, some Self-Defense Forces members have been infected with the Ebola virus, causing a large number of non-war casualties. Some SDF members are panicked because they could be attacked by the insidious Truth Army at any moment, and they have to guard against a highly lethal virus, and any contact could cause infection and lose their lives.

In 1994, a group of self-defense officers in Kansai, Japan, shot their superiors and dispersed. Anyway, because of the Ebola virus and Shinrikyo, the governments of various parts of Japan are already in a state of semi-paralysis, and even if they become deserters and criminals, it is not so easy for the Japanese authorities to arrest them, and there is still Shinrikyo to deal with first, and they will not be able to take their turn.

As a result, more and more Japanese Self-Defense Forces began to desert as deserters, no longer fighting against the Truth Army, but secretly fleeing, and even some of them left with weapons and ammunition, which caused more weapons to circulate in Japanese society and increased the factor of instability.

Seeing that Japan is becoming more and more corrupt, the United States has no intention of helping. After suffering for a period of time, the US troops stationed in Japan were finally announced by Clinton to temporarily withdraw from Japan, and not only the US troops stationed in Japan were evacuated from Japan, but also quite a number of foreign nationals, who were first taken to the sea for quarantine by joint evacuation ships organized by various countries, and after no problems for more than 40 days, they were then evacuated to other places.

China, for its part, quarantined some Chinese expatriates in Japan at sea, then evacuated to the island of Taiwan for observation, and finally confirmed that they were okay before returning them to their hometowns.

Japan is like an ugly and leprosy-looking patient, and any country in the world is now afraid to avoid it, and some countries sent medical rescue teams and other organizations to help when there was only a virus, but after the outbreak of the civil war with Shinrikyo, many countries withdrew those who could evacuate in order to avoid harming their own people. As for those who are unlucky enough to catch the virus, there is nothing they can do.

Obviously, Shinrikyo has not yet finished its crooked tricks.

Asahara, believing that although the Shinrikyo and the Army of Truth are still alive and strong, it may not be possible to realize his ambition to usurp the throne overnight, so Asahara, ordered his subordinates to increase the spread of the Ebola virus and launch horrific gas attacks on some areas.

Shinrikyo has selected some relatively densely populated places to make sure that its own people are not among them, but because of the fear of the virus, it is difficult to have a large number of densely populated places, but fortunately, Shinrikyo has hoarded a large number of chemical weapons, sarin gas and the like are tons and tons. These chemical weapons attacks often take place in areas that the Japanese government still controls effectively, and the main targets of death are actually the Japanese authorities and the Self-Defense Forces.

However, the Self-Defense Forces are equipped with three-defense suits, and they are not very afraid of the killing of poison gas, but ordinary people are quite troublesome. More than 1,000 people, the vast majority of civilians, were killed in the sarin gas attacks that lasted for several days.

Hosokawa hurriedly issued a statement condemning the evil acts of Shinrikyo and for the first time opened his mouth to ask for assistance from all countries in the world, saying that all necessary means were needed to help Japan solve the Ebola crisis and the ****** Aum Shinrikyo.

And Shoko Asahara, not to be outdone, declared: "The broken order of the old world has come to an end, I have seen the rules of the universe clearly, everything is about to start again, the apocalypse has come, the fool who can't recognize the form can only be completely destroyed, only by identifying with me and the supreme truth of the universe, can he be liberated in the apocalypse and be born in a new and better world!" ”

His views are naturally scoffed at by normal people, but many believers who have been poisoned by Aum Shinrikyo are convinced of this, and more Aum Shinrikyo believers feel that those who do not believe in them are doomed to be destroyed, and their killing of these people will be a liberation from the existence of evil, and it is also a way to promote the coming of a new world and end the end of the apocalypse as soon as possible.

Japan is also getting more and more chaotic.

During this period, the Japanese government also captured some Shinrikyo people, and indeed found that they were immune to the Ebola virus. Excited Japanese medical circles wanted to develop a vaccine for the Ebola virus in the same way that China had reverse-developed the Mad virus vaccine, but it was very strange that the serum extracted from the bodies of these people who were immune to the virus could not make any vaccine.

And this phenomenon has further fueled Aum Shinrikyo's propaganda that everything has nothing to do with medicine, but faith to save people in the last days. This fooled a group of Japanese people who were afraid of dying of the virus into the arms of Aum Shinrikyo, and in just a few months, by the beginning of 1994, the scale of Aum Shinrikyo had grown to more than one million people.

At the same time, more than 100,000 people have died in Japan due to the virus and war.
