The loss of personnel can be quickly compensated. Behind the US military, there are still more than a dozen divisions ready to be mobilized at any time. However, the loss of weapons and equipment is difficult to replace in time, even if the US military's logistics efficiency is high, even if there are no federal bombers in the sky.
When bombing the U.S. military's logistics convoy, it's impossible for a large number of tanks and heavy artillery to come up at a moment's notice.
But the U.S. military did not retreat. They just moved a little farther away from the front line to avoid the shooting distance of federal artillery, and then stopped retreating. In response to the air strikes and harassment by federal aircraft, the U.S. military could only bite the bullet and hide.
In the woods and trenches, looking forward to the coming of night.
The north and south of Pocatello were locked in fierce fighting, and the four federal airfields located next to the town were not idle either. Batteries of long-range bombers filled with fuel and "medicine" took off from here, heading towards Texas.
Flying in the direction of the state, the federal air force carried out large-scale strategic bombings on several key cities in Texas for dozens of days at a density of almost every two days, vowing to wipe these cities and oil fields off the ground.
Shanshan Kenta just celebrated his 38th birthday today, but there was no birthday dinner, no sake, and no friends and family to congratulate him. At this time, he was sitting on the branch of a big tree, staring at the scene in front of him.
He was in a daze in the wilderness. His home is Kamamakusa on Kyushu Island, which is a part of Kumamoto Prefecture.
A small fishing village. When he was young, he joined the Kumamoto Division, but was defeated by federal tank troops near Miyazaki. However, he was not injured or captured. Instead, he hid in a big tree and successfully hid.
After being searched by the federal army, he finally escaped back to his hometown and continued to help his old father fish for a living.
Later, his hometown became the southern territory of Japan, and the emperor disappeared, but life was still so hard. When he was 33 years old, he married a fisherman from the same village as his wife. In order to find him a wife,
The old father sold his only small fishing boat. Life after marriage became even more difficult. Since the family no longer had a fishing boat, the father and son could only work odd jobs on other people's fishing boats, which could not support the family at all.
Kenta had no choice but to go to the Federal Navy base in Miyazaki to try his luck. In the end, he actually found a job. He was to help the Federal Navy as a frogman and do those very dangerous diving jobs.
Although the salary of this job is good and can fully support his old father and wife, Kenta is getting older day by day. It is very likely that he will not be able to get up to work like diving one day. It is not a long-term job that can settle down and establish a career.
Work.
2 years ago, his first son was born, which made Kenta's pressure increase again. He didn't want his son to live in that kind of poverty again. But he had no other skills except diving and fishing.
At the beginning of the year, Nanhai United
The Federation suddenly set up many recruiting points in Nanrben. It was said that they wanted to recruit foreign troops to help the Federation fight the war. At the beginning, Kenta did not want to join the army. The bloody storm of the year had frightened him, and he did not want to
Go ahead and make money with your head in mind.
However, the benefits of joining the foreign forces made him very greedy. As long as he joined the army for five years or died in battle, his family could immigrate to the South China Sea Federation and become residents there. Since Kenta works in the federal navy base, he can immigrate to the South China Sea Federation every day.
meet those navy soldiers
They live their lives and have a lot of contact with them, so Kenta has a better understanding of the living standards of federal residents. If his son can become a federal resident, then he must go to school.
A lifetime of escape from the sea of suffering.
For the sake of his son and the whole family, Kenta gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and ran to his immediate boss, a logistics officer at the federal naval base, and begged him to sign up for him. He wanted to join the army for the sake of his family. This federal officer
After hearing his reasons for joining the army, the naval officer
Yu was also sympathetic to his situation, so he took him to the registration point dedicated to recruiting the Federation Navy and helped him sign up. However, when Kenta was registering, he told him that he had joined the Kumamoto Division.
, but ended up not being admitted to the Navy, and instead being admitted to the Army.[
The army is the army. Kenta is actually not very interested in the navy. There were so many warships in the Japanese Navy back then, but most of them were sunk. In Kenta's view, the army is safer, at least on land.
Escape, no one can hear you even if you want to surrender on the sea. As long as you lose the battle, you will 100% feed the fish.
After the physical examination and enthronement procedures, Kenta successfully entered the training camp of the Federal Foreign Forces. Here he can get a fixed monthly salary. Although it is not much, it is enough to support the life of three members of the family. For the training of the Federal Army,
Kenta is much better than those new recruits. After all, he has served as a soldier in the Kumamoto Division for 2 years. Although he is not an officer, the Kumamoto Division was also one of the most elite in Japan back then. In terms of individual soldier training, it is no better than the Federal Army.
Difference.
What makes Kenta even more happy is that the food treatment here is very good, with meat and vegetables included in every meal. Although Kenta sometimes misses meals, he can feel full and eat well, so he has nothing to be dissatisfied about. 8
In March, he and his 22nd Foreign Infantry Division boarded the ship. After more than 20 days of sailing, they docked in a big city called Seattle.
The first impression that Shanshan Kenta and all the Japanese soldiers who came with him had on this place was: How big it is!!! When Kenta first arrived at the Federation Naval Base in Miyazaki, he had the same impression; and then he arrived at the Federation again
Domestic Manila Port will appear again soon
This impression; now that he came to this place called the United States, this impression shocked him again; in Kenta's mind, cities in Japan are simply villages, and cities in the South China Sea Federation and the United States are called cities. Look at this building
, almost higher than Mount Fuji.
There was not much time to enjoy the scenery. His 22nd Foreign Infantry Division got on a large number of trucks early the next morning and started marching along those wide and flat roads. In the end, Kenta's battalion was assigned to a place called
Stationed near the small town of Kimberley, their mission is to build fortifications about 3 kilometers south of the highway, and send out three patrol teams every day to patrol about 30 kilometers south on motorcycles to ensure the safety of the highway.
In the past two months, Kenta's battalion has basically become an engineering battalion, digging bunkers and bunkers everywhere, and then constantly laying mines, patrolling, and setting up hidden sentries. Life is very regular, Kenta
Sometimes I even think that it would be great if I could live like this for five years, and my whole family could immigrate to the South China Sea Federation without having to fight.
When he was doing the final recruit training in New Guinea, Kenta's company commander once told him that the South China Sea Federation had occupied a very large land on the south side of the sea, and there were basically no people on that land, and the wilderness was full of wild animals.
Rabbits and a kind of rat that is bigger than a sheep can be beaten and eaten at will, and there is no way to kill them all.
Moreover, the federal government is encouraging its residents to open up wasteland wherever they can. According to the company commander, as long as you agree to plant trees and cultivate on this land for more than 10 years, then the land will belong to your family. It is not rented or
Borrowed, but became your family's property, but
It is passed down from generation to generation, and the size of the land is also particular. In plains and places with sufficient water sources, this land is only 100 acres in size, while in slightly desolate hilly areas, the size of this land requires you to ride.
You have to ride your horse and run for a while before you can cross.
This company commander had just been transferred from the federal army. It is said that his troops had just marched to the front line from that area in Australia, and he also had a photo somewhere, in which he was holding a head taller than him.
He said that the animal was a local rat. Kenta was not very interested in how much food this kind of rat had to eat to grow so big. Instead, he was interested in what the company commander said about how it would take a while to run on horseback to cover his land.
Very interested in wearing.
Kenta thought again, if he could obtain federal citizenship, he would immediately apply for a piece of land like that. It doesn't matter if it's a bit desolate, and it doesn't matter if it's far from a water source. In his own country, rice can be grown even on the hillsides. Kenta has been growing it with his mother since he was a child.
After working in the fields for more than ten years, he believes that his ability is no worse than that of farmers in any other country. And judging from the photos, the hilly lands mentioned by the company commander are not considered mountains at all. This is a plain in Japan!!!
