Before the U.S. forces advanced to the main Japanese defense line of about 4,500 meters, the two sides reached a stalemate, and Buckner took the opportunity to adjust the deployment, transferring the 1st Marine Division and the 6th Marine Division in the north to the southern front, and the 27th Division on the southern front to the North Peninsula to take over the defense of the two marine divisions; The 77th Division, which captured Ie Island, took over from the 96th Division and threw it into the southern front; The 96th Division rested for 10 days, and then replaced the 7th Division for rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After completing the adjustment, the US army launched an attack with four divisions, adopted the tactic of outflanking on both flanks, and attacked the main defense line of the Japanese army in a roundabout way to speed up the combat process. On April 24, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, the American army finally made progress, overcame the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, and broke through the defensive line.

On May 4, the 24th year of the beginning of Taichu, Ushijima saw that the US forces were advancing step by step, and in order to gain the initiative, contrary to the defensive policy that it had always adhered to, launched a desperate general counteroffensive, and carried out a landing on the rear coast of the US army by barge with part of its troops, and cooperated with the main force to launch an attack from the front, but because it could not receive strong support from the navy and air force, the landing force was discovered by the US forces on the way to the sea, and was immediately bombarded by destroyers and ground artillery fire, and was wiped out before it could go ashore. As soon as the frontal main attacking force left the strong and concealed fortifications, it was immediately bombarded by the superior artillery fire of the American army, and the counteroffensive was crushed in less than 24 hours. Ushijima's counterattack was more than worth the loss, losing a large number of personnel, consuming a large amount of ammunition, especially the ammunition consumed was difficult to replenish, so that the Japanese army's ammunition reserves were close to exhaustion, Ushijima had to order to save ammunition, each gun only had an average of ten shells per day, which seriously affected future operations. If Ushijima does not carry out this counterattack, then the personnel and ammunition lost in the counterattack can hold on to the defense for more time, giving the US troops greater damage. However, considering the brutal spirit of the Japanese army, it is a miracle that Ushijima can hold these guys with muscles in their heads for so long.

On May 8, the 24th year of the beginning of the Taichu, the U.S. army put in a new type of Spitfire tank and heavy tanks, braving the rain of Japanese bullets, crushing the Japanese trenches, rushing into the Japanese position, the Spitfire tank shot napalm into the caves and tunnels hidden by the Japanese army, the Japanese army finally could not support it, and its defense line was gradually broken through, but Ushijima immediately under the cover of night and smoke, quietly organized the troops to withdraw to the next defense line in an orderly manner, so the battle developed into such a pattern: the Japanese army first defended to the death by danger, and then the American army broke through with heavy fire support, the Japanese army retreated to the next line of defense and then defended it, and so on, and the Japanese defense area gradually shrank.

On May 19, the 24th year of the beginning of the first year, Okuyama discussed the battle plan with the captains of each squad and the flight captain, and decided that Okuyama would command three squads to attack the Setouchi airfield with eight planes, and Captain Watanabe would lead two squads to attack the airfield with four planes, and the attack was scheduled to be launched on May 23, the 24th year of the first year. Due to weather conditions, it was postponed to May 24, the 24th year of the first lunar month. At 18:40 a.m. on the same day, 12 planes carrying the "Righteous Martyrs Airborne Detachment" took off one after another, and on the way, four planes returned home or made a forced landing due to a malfunction, and another four planes were shot down by the US military while approaching Oshima, and all the people on board were killed, and only four planes arrived at their destination at 22 o'clock, and the Japanese planes landed on the airfield in the form of belly landing, and the commandos jumped down from the cabin without waiting for the planes to come to a complete standstill, and threw grenades and incendiary bombs at the planes parked at the airfields. After a short engagement, the commandos and their crews who landed at the two airfields, a total of 56 people, were all wiped out, 2 US troops were killed, 18 were wounded, seven planes were destroyed, 26 planes were damaged, and more than 70,000 gallons of aviation gasoline were burned, causing huge losses. The fire at the airport was not extinguished until 20 o'clock on the 26th, and the fire at the Setouchi airport burned for three days and three nights, and was not extinguished until the morning of the 27th, and the two airports were paralyzed for nearly three days and three nights. The lessons are worth studying, and at least China's Zaolin National Defense University has listed this operation as a key case in the command system.

Fierce fighting on Oshima continued, and the U.S. forces captured Naha on May 27, the 24th year of Taichu, and continued to attack and advance toward Shurijo, the capital of Oshima. On May 31, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, the U.S. Army finally made significant progress, breaking through the Shuri Defense Line, the core defense zone of the Japanese army, and the Marines attacked Kasari, which was already in ruins, and the commander of the Tenth Army, Buckner, was full of joy that the last large island town was occupied, which meant that the battle was about to end, but his idea was very wrong, the Japanese army's battle of trapped beasts was even more crazy, and he would pay the heaviest price for this madness! Ushijima led the rest of the army back about ten kilometers to the final line of defense carefully prepared at the northern tip of the island, a natural barrier of two mountain peaks, the terrain was rugged and precipitous, and the Japanese made full use of the terrain to build cleverly concealed gun emplacements and tunnel fortifications, and Ushijima was determined to rely on this to fight to the last soldier. Therefore, the resistance of the Japanese army did not weaken in the slightest, the US army mainly relied on Spitfire tanks to open the way, many Japanese troops who were on fire rushed out of their positions, hugged the American soldiers and died together, every meter of the US army advanced was still very difficult, in the face of the more frantic resistance of the Japanese army, the US army also used more fierce artillery fire, the US army's sea, land and air intensive firepower carried out the most fierce bombardment of several square kilometers of the southern part of the island held by the Japanese army, although the Japanese army only had more than 30,000 people left, more than half of the artillery was lost, and there was little ammunition left, but it was still a desperate battle. On June 3, the 24th year of the beginning of the first year, Halsey was anxious to get out of the waters of Kagoshima, which had been passively beaten, and set up radar stations on the islands of the Kagoshima archipelago to form an early warning radar network; On the one hand, part of the fighter unit of the Marine Corps Air Force was transferred from the Philippines to the Oshima airfield. Then he personally led the 38th Task Force to the north and attacked the Japanese aviation base in the Kyushu area.

On June 5, the 24th year of Taichu, two regiments of the 6th Marine Division of the US Army landed on Hengdang Island northwest of Oshima and attacked the Japanese flank in a roundabout way. On June 5, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, a typhoon swept through the waters of Kyushu, Japan, and the US Third Fleet suffered serious losses, with 32 ships damaged and 142 aircraft damaged. For this reason, Halsey was investigated by a court-martial, which was presided over by General Hoover, and found that Halsey had violated the rules on how to deal with the fleet in the event of a major storm, and was responsible for the loss, and recommended that he be removed from his post or ordered to retire, but Nimitz believed that Halsey was a national hero, and if he was removed from his post before the end of the campaign, it would hurt the morale of the American army and the morale of the Japanese army, so he was not punished.

On June 8, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, the 38th Task Force of the US Army went north again and attacked the Japanese aviation base in the Kyushu area, and then Halsey left the landing formation commanded by Hill in the waters of Kagoshima, and used the escort aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in the formation to cooperate with the Marine Corps and the Army Aviation to protect the landing beachhead and transport ships, and led the 38th Task Force to return to Leyte Gulf, and when the 38th Task Force arrived at Leyte Gulf on June 13, the 24th year of Taichu, this heroic unit had been fighting at sea for a full 92 days! There will be a brief break in Leyte Gulf in preparation for the final blow to the Japanese mainland in July.

On June 17, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, the U.S. Army put in reserve the 2nd Marine Division, and a regiment of the division landed near Cape Waya at the northern tip of Oshima to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army with friendly forces on the front and flanks. At this time, the situation of the Japanese army was very passive, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Buckner used clear-code telegrams and broadcasts to persuade the Japanese army to surrender, but Ushijima was not moved at all, and replied with gunfire and artillery fire.

On June 18, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, Lieutenant General Buckner personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and when he was observing the advance of the troops on a hill near the headquarters of the 8th Marine Regiment, a Japanese artillery shell flew in, and the shrapnel and sharp debris flakes that crashed in all directions hit him in the head, killing him instantly. You must know that the Japanese artillery fire was extremely weak at that time, and before he arrived that day, this place was not shelled for several hours, and it is incredible that the first shell of the Japanese army actually killed the commander of the lieutenant general's group army, and he became the highest-ranking general of the US army to die in the entire Pacific War. The commander of the Tenth Army was represented by the commander of the 3rd Marine Corps, Major General Geiger, who thus became the Marine General who commanded the largest number of Army units.

On June 19, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, Ushijima sent a final farewell message to Tokyo in the cave tunnel numbered 89th, and then instructed his subordinates to make a final decisive attack. On June 22, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, the U.S. Army broke through the last line of defense of the Japanese army, attacked Chongya, the northernmost part of the island, and divided the remnants of the Japanese army into three parts. Geiger optimistically announced that the organized resistance of the Japanese army on the island had been cleared.

At four o'clock in the morning on June 23, the twenty-fourth year of the first year, Ushijima knew that the American troops were about to occupy the tunnel where he was, so he took off his military uniform, changed into a kimono, toasted with the staff officers around him one by one, drank the last farewell wine, and then committed suicide by caesarean section. His chief of staff followed him to commit suicide by caesarean section, and a number of officers also committed suicide en masse. At this point, the organized resistance of the Japanese army subsided, while the sporadic Japanese resistance continued, and the work of clearing the remnants of the Japanese army continued until the end of June of the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, and on July 2, Nimitz officially announced the end of the Battle of Oshima.

On July 15, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, Emperor Hirohito of Japan issued the "Edict of Accession to the Same Country" through radio, announcing that Japan recognized China as a subject country and was willing to join the Greater China Community unconditionally as a subject country. This paper announcement shocked all the major powers in the world and lost their voices, what happened? Japan actually quietly put down the status of the great powers (although it was only the last seat of the second-rate powers), and became the horse boy of China in this way. This made the US Pacific Theater Command, which was still hesitant to land on its own soil, cry and laugh, China and the United States did not declare war, so does the United States continue to beat Japan to mean that it is in a state of actual war with China? It really gave Brother Truman, who had just succeeded the president, a headache.
