616:Support the Ryukyus?

The war in Japan is going on in an orderly manner, and judging from the reports from all sides, the war on the Japanese front is going smoothly, and the Battle of Hakodate is also developing in the direction expected by the Chinese. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, an area as large as Hakodate could not accommodate too many army deployments, but the Chinese deliberately withdrew the battle line to make more space for the Japanese army as much as possible, plus launched several battles against the Japanese army from time to time to hit the Japanese army's 'inflated' morale.

The Japanese had to send more troops to support Hakodate, and it stands to reason that by sending a fleet to the outskirts of Hakodate, it would be easy to cut off the connection between the Japanese army and the island of Honshu, and to be able to bomb the Japanese troops in Hakodate through the fleet.

The Japanese did not have any heavy weapons here, not even a few infantry guns, let alone shore defense guns and other equipment. But the Chinese did not send a fleet here, and the Japanese tacitly did not send their fleet over. Perhaps the Japanese were worried that once their fleet came, the Chinese navy, which did not want to come over, would have to be forced to come over and participate in the war.

The previous battle between the Chinese and Japanese navies also made the Japanese navy realize the seriousness of the problem, and the navy, which Japan regarded as depending, is now far behind by others, and the Japanese will naturally not do that kind of self-defeating move.

In the same way, the Japanese also found out an even more terrible news, that is, in Korea, at least 200,000 Chinese troops have been gathered, what is the Chinese army trying to do in the south of Korea? Do you need to think about this?

The southern part of Korea is less than 100 kilometers away from the Japanese island of Kyushu, but it is almost 1,000 kilometers away from Hokkaido, so why should they give up the railroad and the opportunity to go directly to Vladivostok? And choose to hike to the south of North Korea?

The Japanese remembered the information they had received a month earlier, which showed that the Chinese appeared intent on landing on Kyushu rather than Hokkaido. Later, perhaps for some reason, the Chinese had to temporarily abandon Kyushu Island as a landing ground and temporarily chose Hokkaido.

But the Chinese never seem to have given up on this plan, and the troops stationed in Korea were not just to land on Kyushu Island?

But the Chinese have limited capacity, and now that most of the ships are sent between Vladivostok and Hokkaido to ensure the Chinese's advantage in Hokkaido, then even if the south of Korea sends more troops, they will not be able to transport the troops here to Kyushu.

This is also one of the reasons why Japan dares to continuously transfer troops from Kyushu Island to support Hokkaido, and another reason is that the Japanese side may also be waiting, waiting for news from Taiwan.

Because they know very well that the Chinese have more than 400,000 troops on the Taiwan side, and the supporting forces of the more than 400,000 troops have a capacity no less than that of the transport fleet in Hokkaido.

Compared with Hokkaido, the Japanese top brass still attaches more importance to Kyushu Island, so the only remaining combined fleet is scattered in the military port on Kyushu Island, and the Japanese side has no intention of sending them out.

Once the Chinese successfully land on Kyushu Island, then Japan will also mean that it will face the trend of north-south attack, and Japan alone will be somewhat unbearable.

Of course, the Japanese top brass also has unlimited hopes that the Japanese troops on the Taiwan side will be able to hold out for a longer time, but in their hearts they are so unconfident, and now Japan has not only lost contact with Taiwan, but also has lost contact with Okinawa, and the Japanese side knows nothing about everything about these two places. No one knows either.

…………

Taiwan, Taiwan is a region without strategic depth, and the terrain is complex, relatively speaking, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since the Japanese army occupied Taiwan, until now for more than ten years, Taiwan's local resistance forces have always existed.

It's just that from the beginning there were opposition forces everywhere, to the present only part of the Taiwanese aborigines are still holding on to their great cause.

In fact, during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan in history, the local resistance forces in Taiwan have always existed, and until the Japanese army withdrew from Taiwan, these resistance forces were not completely eliminated. But during this period, these forces of resistance were largely negligible.

Over time, Japan's domination over Taiwan allowed Taiwan's richest and most densely populated western region to gradually abandon most of its estrangement.

Japan's Governor of Taiwan, Sakuma Zuo Matthew, is even planning a plan to recruit Taiwanese youths to join the Japanese army within a few years, and through more than ten years of rule, the hearts of the younger generation have been deeply imprinted by Japan, and their vigilance against Japan is not as serious as that of the previous generation.

In addition, the emperor ordered to treat the Taiwanese people well, so Japan's life in Taiwan during this period was not bad. But with the arrival of the Chinese army, all this came to naught.

Under the influence of the older generation, many young people in Taiwan have chosen to abandon the Japanese army, and although they are not qualified to join the army for the time being, they can act as guides for the army, and these people are still very familiar with the terrain of Taiwan. Under the leadership of these Taiwanese guides, the Chinese army drove the Japanese army step by step into the sea or into the mountains.

The Japanese army who were driven into the sea was considered lucky, at least their journey was over. The only thing that hurt the Japanese soldiers who were driven into the mountains, there were a lot of resistance forces in them.

This gang of people is also a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard, picking on the lone Japanese army, sending people to follow if they can't beat them, leaving marks along the way, and then going to the Chinese army to kill them.

In recent years, the Japanese army has repeatedly wiped out the Taiwanese indigenous opposition forces entrenched in the mountains, but they were forced to declare defeat because of their unfamiliarity with the mountains and other reasons. None of the Japanese forces in their heyday were able to eliminate these opposition forces, let alone now?

Since the second half of May, there have been very few wars in Taiwan, and the main battlefield has basically shifted from the western plains to the mountainous areas of central and eastern China.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, Taiwan basically entered the situation of military control over Taiwan, and the actual ruler here has changed from Japan to the military sent by Chinese mainland.

It's just that because there are still some remnants of the Japanese army that have not been completely wiped out, the news that Taiwan has been recovered has not yet been announced to the public. Of course, there are other considerations in this, such as the fact that the army attacking Taiwan will need time to recuperate, because they will appear directly in Japan next.

In the second half of May, about 100,000 of the 400,000 troops were resting, and they rested for half a month to thoroughly experience Taiwan's customs and customs.

Originally, there was not much difference between the two places, but because of Japanese rule, it added some Japanese flavor to the place. And the current Taiwan is not the Taiwan of later generations, the Hakka people have not migrated here in large numbers, and the culture of the mainland has not undergone earth-shaking changes.

It's not so much about experiencing the local customs, but rather about visiting some beautiful scenery everywhere, enjoying this rare time of peace, lying on the beach, looking at the endless sea, and sunbathing leisurely.

"Hey, the leisurely time is coming to an end, let's enjoy this last idle afternoon!" On the beach, groups of soldiers lay there, barefoot, because of military discipline, so they did not dare to go bare-chested, and their weapons were within reach.

A thin soldier about 1.7 meters tall walked over with a freshly picked coconut in his hand, lay down with a comfortable face, and said leisurely.

"Are you going to fight Japan?" The other soldier asked, his eyes closed, without turning his head.

"It's to fight Japan, but not to Japan itself, I heard that the two divisions that attacked the Ryukyus encountered some difficulties, the Japanese resistance there was too stubborn, relying on the terrain of the Ryukyus to resist everywhere, the casualties of those two divisions were too great, and the above planned to send our 100,000 people to the Ryukyus to take over. It is said that the ship will be boarded tonight, and the order will be given in two hours at most. The soldier carrying the coconut said that he had also heard from someone else.

"Isn't that the fighting power of the Japanese? They don't seem to have many people in the Ryukyus, right? Can you resist the attack of our two divisions? ”

"How else to say it, this time those two divisions can be regarded as capsizing in the gutter, and the Japanese have also turned into hole-digging maniacs, transforming the large and small mountains of the Ryukyus into positions, where the tanks can't go up, and the artillery fire is not easy to fight, where the Japanese drill, we can only fill with human lives. ……”

Not far from these soldiers, a Taiwanese fisherman unhurriedly packed up his fishing nets, carried two small fish, and left the beach in a hurry.

But shortly after leaving the beach, the Taiwanese fisherman left the net and the two fish directly aside, and disappeared from sight with a few dodges.

Among the Taiwanese people, there are also many who are loyal to the Japanese, maybe they were forced to make a living before, maybe they didn't expect that China would recover Taiwan so quickly, maybe they did too much evil before, and they were worried that they would settle accounts after the autumn, so these people don't want the Japanese to lose, because their fate is basically with the Japanese.

The news that the Chinese army in Taiwan was going to support the Ryukyus soon reached the surviving Japanese, who survived because they were not the army, but an intelligence agency hiding in the shadows, disguised as civilians, and the army would not attack them as long as they did not make dangerous moves.
