On March 23, exactly ten days after the battles of Iriomote Island and Ishigaki Island, the Japanese garrisons on the main islands of Okinawa, Miyakojima, Tokunoshima, and Amami Oshima were nervously entering a state of first-class combat readiness, but the Ryukyu People's Revolutionary Army was slow to move, but everyone knew that the Ryukyu Islands were in a calm period before the storm.

The Ryukyu Islands are very close to the Japanese mainland, and as soon as Lin Junxiong arrived in the Ryukyus, he set off a monstrous wave, and no one dared to deny whether he would lead the Ryukyu People's Revolutionary Army to attack the Japanese mainland.

When the Japanese military department was deploying troops everywhere, a piece of news swept the entire Ryukyu Islands: Lin Junxiong was inaugurated as commander-in-chief of the Ryukyu People's Revolutionary Army, and at the same time, Lin Junxiong inspected the Northern Military Region and the headquarters of the headquarters, announcing to the outside world that the Ryukyu People's Revolutionary Army had started the Ryukyu War of Independence, and the Ryukyus would be full of anti-Japanese fireworks.

Kiyohide Nakagawa and Toshihiko Kojima were standing in the conference room of the Okinawa garrison headquarters, Kiyohide Nakagawa had been standing in front of the map for nearly two hours, and Toshihiko Kojima's feet were numb, but he didn't dare to move.

After a long time, Nakagawa Kiyohide sighed: "The Ryukyu Islands are going to become the second Northeast, and this will be the battlefield for Lin Junxiong's performance." ”

He turned to look at the somewhat timid Kojima Toshihiko, and said with a wry smile: "Kojima-kun, you have been by my side for the past few years, and I have worked hard for you, since I was humiliated and tossed by Lin Junxiong and the Ryukyu People's Revolutionary Army several times, my temper has become tyrannical, and you have been wronged." ”

Toshihiko Kojima couldn't believe that Kiyohide Nakagawa actually apologized to himself, he raised his head suspiciously, looked at Kiyohide Nakagawa, and guessed his mind in his heart.

"Kojima-kun, don't think about it, after the defeat of Iriomote Island and Ishigaki Island, the commanders of the Sixth and Eleventh Fleets complained to the military headquarters, claiming that everything was carried out on my orders. I also had a sense of fear when I faced Lin Junxiong, and I took the opportunity to resign from the post of commander-in-chief of the Okinawa garrison, and the new commander of the garrison will soon arrive with five reinforcement divisions, so you don't have to worry about me anymore. ”

"Commander, is Lin Junxiong really so terrifying?"

Nakagawa Kiyohide let out a long sigh and said slowly: "When he turned the Ryukyus upside down with more than a hundred people in the Ryukyus, he was only eighteen years old, and he had not yet gone to Germany to study. When he accumulated a lot of actual combat experience in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Wuhan, and rose in the Northeast, he was destined to become a disaster for the Kwantung Army. Nearly a million Kwantung troops were defeated by him in just three or four years, with more than half of the casualties. ”

He paused and continued: "In the face of the powerful German Army, the Soviet Red Army, which was not afraid, was annihilated by tens of thousands of people by Lin Junxiong, which made the Soviet Red Army on the Sino-Soviet border frightened when Lin Junxiong was mentioned. ”

Toshihiko Kojima's deeds had heard of Lin Toshio's deeds, but when Nakagawa Kiyohide repeated it briefly, he still felt a chill in his heart.

"A dozen people killed nearly a thousand imperial warriors, and nearly a thousand people on Ishigaki Island chased more than 10,000 of us to fight, and we haven't fought back yet."

The chill in Kojima's heart was even worse, and he suddenly said without thinking: "Commander, you have resigned, please allow me to follow you!" ”

Nakagawa Kiyohide saw the fear in Kojima's eyes, but he didn't despise him, because he was just like him, and he nodded slightly.

Ando Toshiyoshi was extremely depressed, since the last time Lin Junxiong came to Taiwan and commanded the Taiwan column of the New Fourth Army to fight a beautiful battle in the Alishan area, the Japanese army has lost control of the area around Alishan, and now under the pressure of the Taiwan column, many places are also losing control, and it was originally planned to concentrate troops for counterattack, but at this time, the military headquarters called and asked a division to be transferred to Ryukyu to fight.

Although Akai Naomasa made a very serious mistake and caused the area around Alishan to be lost, Ando Toshiyoshi still misses this general very much, at least when he was there, Taiwan's anti-Japanese forces were completely suppressed, and he still sighed when he thought of him being to death.

Ando Toshiyoshi looked at the group of officers, there are still a few days before the military headquarters ordered to send a division to fight in the Ryukyus, and now the deployment of the Taiwan column of the New Fourth Army to encircle and suppress the area around Alishan has been completed, and if this opportunity is missed, the Taiwan column will definitely become even more rampant, he clenched his fist fiercely and ordered: Immediately launch a plan to encircle and suppress the Taiwan column in the area of Alishan.

Li Youbang, Lian Yue, and Wu Guoxing were at the headquarters of the Taiwan Column in Alishan, analyzing the information transmitted from various places.

"Commander, I think this is an opportunity, if the devil sends a division to Ryukyu, there will be a gap in the encirclement around Alishan, and we can take the opportunity to beat the devil fiercely." Wu Guoxing has already burst with confidence after several battle victories.

Lian Yue frowned and said: "Lao Li, the devil spent more than half a month deploying this encirclement and suppression, and invested the troops of three divisions, I am worried that they will not give up so easily, I think it is better to wait and see what happens and strengthen vigilance." ”

Li Youbang nodded, thought for a while, and said: "I agree with the words of the political commissar, the devils should not give up so easily, and if they carry out the order to go to the Ryukyus to fight, the troops should be concentrated as soon as possible and in the direction of the port, you see that they have not made the slightest movement now." Besides, don't you think it's too easy for us to get the news that the devils are going to send troops to the Ryukyus? I'm worried that the devils have some kind of conspiracy. ”

Wu Guoxing said with a smile: "The devil has been beaten by us several times in a row, what kind of conspiracy can there be?" ”

Lian Yue glared at him, shook his head and reprimanded: "Old Wu, you, like many soldiers, are somewhat carried away by victory, an excellent commander must guard against arrogance and rashness, and always stay sober, you see that you look carried away, this is a dangerous signal." ”

Wu Guoxing was trained to sober up a lot, and stood aside obediently, not daring to squeak again. Li Youbang smiled and said: "It's good to know that mistakes can be corrected, Chief of Staff, I think that this time, for the sake of prudence, not only should we not take the initiative to attack, but also retreat the team twenty kilometers and set up some ambushes in the previous defensive positions. ”

"Well, I agree with the Commander's opinion, it's better to be safe."

Ando Rikichi was furious, he was very depressed, why did Lin Junxiong come to Taiwan, and the Taiwan column became smarter, it was originally a well-planned encirclement and suppression plan, but with a punch, it was like hitting cotton. The troops from all over the country attacked several important defensive positions that had been detected earlier, but not only did not see a single figure, but also touched the explosives in ambush, injuring nearly 1,000 people.

The situation suffered by the troops everywhere was very similar, fearing that there would be an unknown ambush ahead, and they asked for instructions on their next move, Ando Toshiyoshi thought for a long time, and he was not willing to give up like this, so he ordered the troops everywhere to carefully search and advance, and if there was no trace of the other party within 20 kilometers, he would withdraw to the same place and stand by.

To Ando's despair, the search advanced 20 kilometers, but still no trace of the other party was found, and the troops everywhere had to follow the order to retreat to their original positions. Toshiyoshi Ando also sent a division to the Ryukyus to participate in the battle against the Ryukyu People's Revolutionary Army.

On March 28, a division headed for the Ryukyus had just left for two hours, and the area around Alishan was attacked, and Ando Toshiyoshi had to urgently mobilize the surrounding troops to reinforce it, and the battle lasted until the evening, when reinforcements arrived everywhere, the Taiwan column of the New Fourth Army was lost again, and the thick darkness prevented Ando Toshiyoshi's decision to pursue with all his might.

On 29 March, five divisions dispatched by the Japanese military headquarters to the Ryukyus for reinforcements were ready to go, and a sudden news shocked the military headquarters and caused the cabinet to panic again. The Japanese army was routed by the Anglo-American allies in the Philippines and had to retreat in the direction of the Ryukyus.

Faced with four crises, the cabinet was in harmony, and the hard-line military still decided to launch a desperate counterattack by the Imperial warriors, who were deeply influenced by militaristic ideology, knew that they could not turn back, and they probably knew that if they continued to do so, they would lead Japan into the abyss from which they would never recover.

After the Battle of Iriomote Island, Lin Junxiong led the God of War Regiment to the Gyokusendong base through a secret passage, and the Japanese rout in the Philippines also disrupted his deployment.

"The Japanese troops retreating from the Philippines will soon assemble in the Ryukyus, and according to the news coming back from Japan, the Japanese military headquarters is preparing to set up defenses on the island of Okinawa to block the British and American allies. The Ryukyus have become the last obstacle to entering the main island of Japan, and the people of the Ryukyus will experience another misery! ”

Lin Junxiong let out a long sigh after speaking, Shang Tianen also frowned deeply, originally Lin Junxiong was in command of the army, which made him full of confidence that if Japan fought a decisive battle with the British and American allies in Okinawa, where the Ryukyu Islands had the largest concentration of personnel, it would be disastrous for the Ryukyu people in Okinawa.

Looking at Shang Tianen's somewhat lost expression, Lin Junxiong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Wu, things may not be so bad, it will take at least half a month for the remnants of the Japanese to withdraw from the Philippines, and if we make good use of this half month, Okinawa will be a desperate place for the Japanese." ”

Shang Tianen trembled a little excitedly, originally thought that the Japanese had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to defend Okinawa Island, and there would be nothing he could do on his side, but when he heard Lin Junxiong say, it seemed that he had a plan, and he looked at Lin Junxiong nervously.

"Little Five, in the past half a month, we will let the Ryukyus be full of fireworks, the Japanese will not disperse their forces, we will occupy all places except Okinawa Island, and then concentrate the troops and civilians in areas that cannot be bombed by Japanese ships, and then withdraw the shadows, and then let the God of War Regiment cooperate to stir up Okinawa."

"Big brother, if the devil completes the defense on Okinawa Island, it will still be difficult for us to have a chance?"

"We're going to give them no chance to arm, and when the Anglo-American allies arrive, they'll have to retreat!" After Lin Junxiong finished speaking, he smashed the location of Okinawa Island on the map with a hard punch.
