Whether the ground-penetrating bomb can play its due role, in fact, Wang Yue's heart has no bottom, there are too many variables on the battlefield, and Yang Sen and Tian Songyao are also worried, if it can succeed, then the fortifications that Japan relies on for a living will not have any threat, and the Chinese army will be able to quickly take the Ryukyus, if not, then it can only be filled with human lives, and a war will require at least tens of thousands of families to break up.

Although it is said that a general will succeed in ten thousand bones, but no general is willing to watch his subordinates die in vain, if there is a way to reduce casualties, it is naturally undesirable, the results of the first round of bombing finally came out, thirty planes, a total of sixty bombs, destroyed five bunkers!

A hole was opened in Japan's solid defense line, and as soon as this result came out, Yang Sen and others were overjoyed, destroying a bunker with an average of twelve bombs, which was already a very amazing achievement, and you must know that there were no precision guided weapons in later generations in this era.

The most popular in World War II is carpet bombing, there is no dead end, but this kind of bombing sounds powerful, but this bombing method wastes a lot of ammunition, and because of carpet bombing, it lacks the focus, and some well-defended fortifications cannot be destroyed.

Therefore, in World War II, there were often cases of tilting tens of thousands of tons or hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs, but they did not destroy the opponent's defenses, especially in the battle between the United States and Japan for the Pacific islands.

Now that China has developed a ground-penetrating bomb, it is equivalent to breaking the underground fortifications in advance, which has a huge impact on the way of warfare, but Yang Sen and others are not interested in discussing any military changes, they are more interested in the war in front of them, and it is too important for China to quickly take the entire island of Okinawa.

With the weapon of ground-penetrating bombs, the Chinese army was able to easily smash one Japanese fortress after another, and the speed of advance was greatly increased, and it took just over a day. It was five kilometers ahead. Having broken the first line of defense of Japan, the army is firmly advancing towards the Shuri area.

At the same time, domestic follow-up troops also quickly rushed to Okinawa, and the Chinese side has transferred three divisions, totaling more than 50,000 troops, in addition to heavy weapons have also been delivered to the island, tanks, armored vehicles. Heavy artillery armed the Chinese army to the teeth, but the most effective weapon in Okinawa was a combination of ground-penetrating bullets and flamethrowers.

The most common tactic used by the Chinese side is to first use the air force to carry out large-scale air strikes, and the ground-penetrating bombs will destroy a large number of Japanese fortifications, and the defense line that Japan has worked so hard to build will be shattered, and the casualties will be piled up. The Japanese soldiers who were in the fortifications were either wiped out or fled in disarray.

Of course, there will be some remnants of fortifications left, after all, the ground-penetrating bomb is still very primitive and cannot achieve precise strikes, so at this time, flamethrowers will need to show their skills and turn the bunkers into ovens, and most of the Japanese inside will be burned.

Having settled the stubborn fortifications, China's armored forces were like iron ploughshares. Wipe out the remaining Japanese forces. In this way, the battle became simple and efficient, and the army advanced like a tidal wave towards the Shuri area, the center of Japanese defense.

The Army's progress is rapid. It was also a huge relief for the navy, who were able to spare most of their forces to restore their combat effectiveness and defend the shipping routes, but also to prepare for the next naval battle.

The Battle of Okinawa went smoothly, and Qiao Yu and other members of the Supreme Command who were in Beijing were also very relieved that it was too important for China to be able to take the strategic location of the Ryukyus, and with the help of the Ryukyus, China was able to move out of the Pacific Ocean, be pressed by Japan, connect Taiwan to the south, and then affect the entire Nanyang region.

Since ancient times, the Ryukyus have been an important node of trade between all parties in East Asia, and their strategic and military value cannot be ignored, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty was weak and incompetent, and sat back and watched Japan annex this subject country, which brought endless troubles and seriously hindered China's pace of going to the sea.

"President, this Ryukyu is about to be taken down, what do you think should be done?"

Yang Du suddenly asked Qiao Yu this question, some time ago China and Japan were still dead, it was a little too early to discuss this issue, and now China is about to take the entire island of Okinawa, and it must be taken out and discussed carefully.

Ryukyu was originally not a territory directly controlled by China, but a subject country of China, and now although the Ryukyu Kingdom is destroyed, the people are still there, and the royal family still has descendants.

"President, in the past few days, several Ryukyuan people have submitted a request to the government to restore the country!" Wang Yongjiang said: "After the Ryukyus were annexed by Japan, many Ryukyuan people were unwilling to let the country go to ruin, so there were many people with lofty ideals who tried to restore the country, but the power of the Ryukyus was still too small, and they tried to restore the country with the help of China's strength." ”

During the period when the Ryukyus had just fallen to the country, they actively sought the intervention of the Qing court, hoping that the suzerainty could help them restore the country and drive away the Japanese, but the Manchu Qing dynasty was sinking more and more, and the whole country was immediately divided and had no time to take care of itself.

These Ryukyuan people set their sights on the Americans, after all, it was the American Navy that knocked on the door of Japan, and the United States had a special influence on Japan, but the Americans did not promise to help them.

However, with Qiao Yu coming to power, China's national situation has undergone a huge reversal, the power is getting stronger and stronger, and the attitude towards the outside world is getting tougher and tougher, and the Ryukyuan people finally see hope again, and the hope of the Ryukyu restoration is still in the old suzerain, especially after the Sino-Japanese war, these Ryukyuan people are simply overjoyed, they fervently hope that China can win, just when China began to attack Okinawa, the leaders of the Ryukyu restoration movement represented by Tang Chunfeng formally asked the Chinese government to help them restore the country.

Qiao Yu naturally knew the importance of Ryukyu, but the more important the place, the more cautious it must be.

"Brother Baili, what do you mean?"

"President, ladies and gentlemen, I have also communicated with the military on this issue, and many generals believe that the Ryukyus should be directly incorporated into the territory of China, our soldiers are fighting bloody battles there, and we cannot make wedding clothes for others!"

Jiang Baili has always been relatively peaceful, but this time his statement was very clear, and he even did not hesitate to bring the military in. It's just to put pressure on everyone present. Jiang Baili continued: "The Ryukyu Islands can be said to be the gateway to the entire East Asia, equivalent to a gate of China, this kind of strategic place in the hands of any person, China can not rest assured, there was no opportunity in the past, now that the Chinese army has entered the Ryukyus, there is absolutely no possibility of handing it over to others!" ”

"Chief of Staff. The Ryukyu royal family is not the same as other countries, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, 36 Fujian people with the surname Min crossed to the Ryukyus, bringing a full set of Chinese culture to the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyus became the most obedient vassal state to China, and the languages and customs of the two sides have many similarities. It can be said that it is related by blood, and I don't think there is anything wrong with supporting such a vassal country; Moreover, the Ryukyu royal family still has a great appeal among the people, and it can greatly regain the hearts of the people. ”

Wang Yongjiang also made a point, which also represents the view of the Chinese government, that it is true that supporting the Ryukyu Restoration Movement can reduce a lot of trouble, and that the Ryukyus are more obedient. It can be called an example among all the vassal states of China.

"Premier Wang. Times have changed, and China is no longer the kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Times are different, people's hearts will change, and there are some things that are better not to take risks! Yang Du thought for a while, and said: "The problem of Ryukyu is actually a big matter related to China's century-old strategy, and if we deal with it cleanly now, we can make future generations less troublesome, on the contrary, if there are hidden dangers left now, future generations may not be able to successfully solve it with ten times or a hundred times the strength, and it will only leave endless disasters!" ”

This is the case in any country, in the early stage of the establishment of the system, it is necessary to think repeatedly, if it is not considered enough, it is likely to bring huge trouble to future generations, and even difficult to reverse, the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties all prove this, such as the two Han Dynasty gate lords monopolized the power of the imperial court, resulting in the decline of the royal family, and the Tang Dynasty implemented the system of festival degrees, which caused the Anshi Rebellion and completely corrupted a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented the Eight Banners system, after three hundred years of accumulation, the former fierce force turned out to be a gang of eagles and dogs, the lessons of the past are vivid, now if the Ryukyuan people are restored, then the Ryukyu is not a territory under the direct control of China, no matter how loyal they are now, they still have their own selfish interests, and the small countries sandwiched between the big countries will inevitably play a balance between several big countries, which is also their way of survival, and it is absolutely impossible to safeguard China's interests wholeheartedly.

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said: "The Ryukyuan people's demands will be suppressed for the time being, and everything will be said after China defeats Japan!" ”

Qiao Yu took a procrastination trick, and others didn't say much, after all, it was still in the middle of the war, if the Japanese could not be defeated, it would be in vain to talk about anything now!

The battle between China and Japan on the island of Okinawa has reached the most critical moment, the Chinese army has swept away the Japanese in the north of the island, and now Lieutenant General Makita of the Japanese Fifth Division is leading more than 12,000 people to defend the Shuri area, and the Tokyo side has given Makita a death order to hold Ryukyu for at least three months, and if the time is not enough, Makiyuki will apologize!

In fact, Japan also has a hard time, they already know the importance of aircraft carriers, if you want to fight a war, you must have aircraft carriers involved, and there are also two aircraft carriers in their hands, but the most terrible thing is that they have no pilots, Japan's accumulated pilots have been consumed in the battle, and now the Akagi and Fengxiang can only make up more than 40 pilots, less than half of the total, the aircraft is easy to produce, but the pilots have no way to quickly mass-produce, the Japanese have fallen into the dilemma of organic and unmanned, there are empty aircraft carriers, And could not prevent China from attacking the Ryukyus.

At this time, the advance of the Chinese army has approached the Shuri area, that is, the Naha of the later generations, the army is progressing very rapidly, China transferred one hundred and twenty bombers from the country, and at the same time transported 50,000 ground-penetrating bombs, which has become the biggest reliance of the Chinese army, the ground-penetrating bombs can easily knock open the turtle shell of the Japanese, is the biggest guarantee for the Chinese army to sweep Okinawa, Yang Sen personally commanded the army to besiege Shuri at this time, and his heart was full of pride!
