Netizens upload chapters Chapter 68 Woohoo! Ryukyu! (9)
.On the fifth day, the Second US Marine Division successfully landed at the southernmost end of the island.
The bear cubs who had been raising their energy for a long time (the US Marine Corps said that the officers and soldiers of the Second Marine Division were extended from the nickname of the division commander, Polar Bear.), it took only three hours to send the souls of several miscellaneous brigades guarding the 32nd Japanese Army back to the Yasukuni Divine Toilet. But these three hours were enough for Lieutenant General Niujima and his command members to flee in a hurry from the tunnel deep into the underground to a relatively safe place.
The army was in full swing, but the highest command of one side was broken by the other side, and the situation was shaken by the war was not enough. When the Japanese army stabilized its once stormy position, the Second Division of the US Continental Division had already stood firm on the island.
The Japanese army, whose troops are close to their limit, are not willing to risk the entire line of disintegration. After encountering, they have the courage of the Second American War Division, which echoes the firepower of the main Allied forces, can only be defeated by the reality of being attacked by the north and south!
On the 8th, Nazi Germany announced its defeat and surrender. US Navy Lieutenant General Chelsea ordered every US warship on the Okinawa sea to fire three shells at the Japanese position at 3:00 p.m. that day to congratulate.
Looking at the world, there is no unprecedented isolation of half an ally. Although the knowledgeable people in the 32 Japanese army are sad, it is not worth mentioning compared to another crisis facing the Japanese army!
The Japanese army almost lost shells!
This is really a firearm! If the Japanese army in Okinawa had some highlights in the battle ahead, it would have been the powerful artillery firepower of the Japanese army. The damage caused to the Allies by these 400 mountain cannons, field cannons, and heavy mortars were far more harmful to the Allies than those tens of thousands of 38 rifles! In this period of history, the Japanese army in Okinawa could still take the whole island's 60 to 13 years old and female high school students to fight for nothing, but Cheng Jiaji was disrupted. Most of the residential areas in Shuri and Okinawa fell into the hands of the Allies early, and the arrival of the army of the father-in-law of the Celestial Kingdom also made the Japanese side's deception and education that the British and Americans could not defeat!
From the beginning of the war... the Japanese army was at an absolute disadvantage for a moment. Without sufficient cannon fodder, the people's hearts turned to the enemy. The situation was difficult enough. The cannons became a pile of scrap iron. No Niudao was full of iron and stone, and was so worried that they drank drunk all day long.
The Allied forces did not disappoint Niujima. On the 10th, they realized that the Japanese artillery firepower was not as good as that of Lieutenant General Barnak. So they drew the 81st Division of the Army from the northern line and strengthened it to the southernmost island of Okinawa to fight side by side with the Second Marine Division. Later, Lieutenant General Barnak, who was authorized by General William to unify the command of the Allied ground forces on Okinawa, also explicitly ordered the ban on the ban that did not allow all Allied units to implement interspersive operations.
The correctness and timeliness of Barnack's order are undoubtedly correct. But the problem is that this three-star lieutenant general in his destiny seems to be too optimistic. With his unhealthy luck, he personally suffered serious and severe consequences. On the 13th, Lieutenant General Barnack, the commander of the 10th Army of the United States, was hit by a Japanese mortar shell while inspecting the frontier positions. He is the highest-level general in the US military's death in the Pacific War!
Lieutenant General Turner immediately took over Barnack's position and took on the burden of harvesting victory.
On the evening of the 18th, Niudao, who had lost his patience, gathered the remnants of the Japanese army and launched a suicide counterattack against the Allies on the South and North fronts at the same time. After a night of bloody battle, more than 5,000 Japanese troops were killed.
The Japanese army's counterattack, which was not worth the effort, had a sudden acceleration of the fall of the Japanese army!
On the 20th, the US Army met with the Second Division of the Japanese Peace Army during World War II, and the Japanese army's jade-breaking defense line was drilled through.
On the 26th, the division headquarters of the 24th Division of the Japanese Army was captured by the 81st Division of the US Army, and a group of senior officers including Niujima-man committed suicide!
On the 28th, the Japanese army had only one remaining heavy army group, the 44th Independent Brigade, was disbanded by the New 100th Division, and the Japanese army's organized resistance in the Okinawa Islands ended.piaotian Novels Network
On the 29th, Lieutenant General Turner adopted Cheng Jiaji's advice and openly claimed that the Allies would not accept the surrender of the former 15th Regiment of the Japanese Army (the main part of the 44th Brigade of the Japanese Army.), because the Japanese army in the wing was a Hokkien army and committed the crime of cannibalism on the Chinese battlefield and the Pacific battlefield. According to incomplete statistics, there were 10,000 victims, with identities spanning Chinese prisoners of war, civilians, American pilots, British nurses.... It lasted from the end of May to early June.
During the battle of clearing out, not only did the Japanese army surrender individually or in groups, but also the established troops surrendered under the leadership of officers. More than 2,000 surrendered by the Forty-Eighth Army alone. This did not include the Japanese army dressed as civilians and attempted to escape the fate of being captured. Fortunately, the Allied forces did not expect to investigate the matter in history, but adopted the method of temporarily detaining all civilians in the mountainous areas and identifying the household registrations organized by the local government. Afterwards, a total of 1,800 Japanese officers and soldiers were found.
The bad performance of the Japanese army at the end of the Okinawa Battle was passed back to Japan, which dealt a fatal blow to the state adjustment case that had not yet established a stable foothold.
On June 6, the plan was completely overturned and negated.
In the words of those Japanese humanismists who are closely related to the military: "Although patriotism and family ethics can firmly fight the soldiers in the short term, it depends on the essence of reason, but it will inevitably collapse with the collapse of people's rational thinking!"
The arrogant Japanese will never admit that Japan's national cohesion needs to be strengthened and the family concept caused by universal sanity, and they will only attribute this weakness to human reason.
The rational method is not working, and turning back makes Japan's instinct and irrational training farther and farther. Forced brainwashing can no longer meet the needs of the Japanese military. In the recruit training camp in Hokkaido, a Japanese general named Hokkaida Shou invented a military dog training method. The essence of this training method is very simple, that is, using torture, hunger and other means to force the recruits to form a conditioned reflex that they are military dogs. In order to find that the Japanese recruits can fight fearlessly and die like military dogs!
The young and strong officers of the Imperial Door Sect who controlled the Japanese Army's training department highly praised the military dog training method, and Hoshida also rose to prominence and was promoted to colonel!
On the 8th, General William announced the end of the Okinawa Battle, and the US military obtained the best sea and air base to attack Japan!
In this battle, a total of 84,000 Japanese soldiers died. According to classification statistics, 66,000 Japanese soldiers outside Okinawa Prefecture died, 18,000 local soldiers and military families died, and more than 10,000 civilians died in the war (most of the causes of death were forced to be enlisted by the Japanese army and coerced to commit suicide.)
The Allied forces did not take any advantage. More than 3,200 ground troops of the US military died and 17,000 injured. Navy ships were killed and 6,000 injured. Each division of the 48th Army also suffered 12,000 casualties. The Japanese Peace Army was the worst, with more than half of the damage. If Turner did not do good, he forced all Japanese prisoners of war into the Japanese Peace Army, Hojo would become the commander of the barely!
No matter how many hawks and dog slaves die, the owner will not be sad!
As a total of up to 40,000 personnel losses, the commanders of the Chinese and US armies could not afford to hold a celebration ceremony at all! This was a tragic battle that the winners were not happy about!
After that, the participating troops were ordered to rest on the island, and the Allied ground troops from the Philippines, Hawaii, the United States, and Australia were also landing on the Okinawa Islands one after another. The intention of the Allied forces seemed to be so simple that they could not even hide the rats in the grocery store in Tokyo. The Allied forces were preparing to land on the Japanese mainland!
Midnight on June 20th, the headquarters of the Japanese Peace Army.
Hojo, who was awakened from his good dream, turned over and pushed himself to the edge of the bed, took out the Southern Fourteenth Stage from his military uniform pocket, which he had almost never used before, and pointed the muzzle at the black shadow who had stood in front of his bed at some point.
"Hojo-kun! Do you want to turn on the light?" He rushed forward and calmly knocked out the shadow of a beautiful naked woman who was pushed out of bed by Hojo in a hurry and complained in a low voice: "You! You don't know how to be merciful?"
The soft and kind family kiss made Hojo sweat.
He was so familiar with this voice that had changed his life trajectory. What's more terrifying is that the master of this voice was on the list of the three people who were most afraid of and least confident of being enemies in his life (the other two were Cheng Jiaji and Qian Shen). The one who came was his colleague Yamada Kaikou when he was serving in the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, and his immediate boss when he was the deputy captain of the Special Operations Team of the Independent 100th Division, Tian Jiafu!
"Captain Tian! Is it Jun or Gan asked you to come." When Hojo asked a question, the gun in his hand had already been put aside.
He is not stupid! The old boss can be in a state of no one in the highly vigilant Peace Army headquarters and dare to stand blatantly on his bedside. Then his life will be held in his palm. Holding a gun will only die faster and more miserable!
"Smart! I've said you're a smart person!" Tian Jiafu took out two cigarettes, handed them to Hojo, and lit one by himself: "Junzu said that the size of the Japanese Peace Army is slightly reasonable, but the internal cancer cannot be tolerated anymore!"
When Hojo heard this, he felt cold. He had secretly troubled with Nakamura and others in the past few years. How could he not know what he had in mind? He was the commander-in-chief of the Peace Army, so how could he not bear the brunt of it!
After admiring Hojo's panic for a while, Tian Jiafu said, "If you can cooperate, you will not only be alive, but also have an official in all sizes!"
Like a Hojo nodded like a cock pecking at rice, it doesn’t matter whether there is an official or not. The most important thing is to be able to continue to live!
