The war of the industrial age has almost become a contest of production capacity, and whoever can have the most powerful production capacity will be able to win, but the human factor cannot be ignored, especially the high-quality arms, if they cannot achieve effective supply, serious problems will arise.

Pilots are such a group, aircraft are easy to produce, but pilots are not easy to train, China's current industrial production capacity is actually not much different from Japan, and there is even a gap in some hard indicators, but China's air force strategy is definitely longer than Japan's.

China has a mature pilot training system, and the number of reserve personnel is sufficient and the quality is very high, so China can quickly replenish some losses in the war, without affecting its combat effectiveness in the slightest, on the contrary, the level of pilots who have been trained in the war is getting higher and higher.

Japan made a serious mistake on this issue, although Japan also put a lot of effort into air power after the Battle of Qingdao, but they focused on building elite pilots, and the reserve echelon was seriously insufficient, especially the sinking of the Tosa, which caused Japan to lose more than one-third of its elite pilots at once, and lost about half of the remaining naval pilots in the Battle of Shanghai.

In this way, the Japanese exposed the Achilles' heel of insufficient reserve forces, and they had empty aircraft carriers, but could not restore their combat effectiveness, and could only watch the Chinese troops calmly attack the Japanese defenders in Okinawa, but they did not have any countermeasures.

This situation is also more obvious in World War II, the defeat of Germany and Japan began with the loss of pilots, especially in the later stage of Japan's aircraft carrier is completely an empty shell, there is no pilot on it, according to Japan's current capabilities, it will take at least three months to restore the combat effectiveness of the two aircraft carriers, which is why Tokyo desperately let Mataka guard for three months.

However, it is obvious that the Japanese miscalculated, and China's offensive was much faster than expected, especially after the ground-penetrating bomb was put into actual combat, Japan's fortifications collapsed in an instant, and the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse. The Chinese army can advance five or six kilometers in a day. That's more than three times faster than at the beginning of the war.

What makes Japan even more troublesome is that most of the islanders in the Ryukyus have fallen to the Chinese side, and most of the people in the Ryukyu Islands are descendants of Chinese immigrants, speaking Chinese, writing Chinese characters, and using Chinese etiquette, especially now that the Ryukyu Kingdom has not been destroyed for too long, and those older generations still clearly remember the pain of losing the country.

Now the Chinese have killed Okinawa. This was a great thing for them, so many people took the initiative to help the Chinese army, provided food and water, and took the initiative to report the movements of the Japanese army.

After fifteen days of fighting. The 30,000 Chinese landing force surrounded Makitayuki and his more than 7,000 remnants within 10 kilometers of Shuri, and outside the encirclement, the Chinese side had 300 combat aircraft, more than 400 tanks, more than 200 heavy artillery, and naval guns to help them, forming a strong superiority in troops.

The muzzle of the black hole directly directly into the Japanese broken defense line, in the face of the upcoming general attack, Mu Dazhi was anxious at this time. Telegrams have been sent from Tokyo. He was required to defend Okinawa to the death and fight until he was a soldier. The Chinese must not be allowed to occupy this place.

One of the telegrams was sent in the name of Emperor Hirohito, in which Hirohito even promised to put Makitatsuyuki in the Yasukuni Shrine and enjoy the worship of all people, a privilege that not everyone can enjoy, and the emperor's blatant promise also broke the practice of Japan, but it can also be seen from here Hirohito's thoughts.

He needs Mu Dazhi to defend to the death, and there must be no retreat, Mu Dazhi is also a diehard, and he is ready to die in battle, but now that he has run out of ammunition and food, he is really a little overwhelmed!

At this time, China's air raids began again, a total of more than 200 planes flew over Shuri, began to frantically throw ground-penetrating bombs, a large number of Japanese fortifications were immediately destroyed, those circular cemeteries although strong, still could not withstand the power of ground-penetrating bullets, one after another, most of the Japanese soldiers stationed in it were killed, mutilated corpses and dripping blood covered the tunnels.

They chose the cemetery as the fortification, and at this moment these cemeteries have become their home, and it is so interesting that it feels like there are days in the dark.

The perimeter of Shuri was emptied, the Chinese tanks were also thrown into battle, the steel behemoths easily crushed the Japanese broken positions, the vanguard had rushed into the city of Shuri, the Japanese soldiers were cut apart, and the Japanese, who had been divided into two parts, completely lost their command and were able to fight on their own.

However, the war has also reached the most brutal stage, and the losses in street battles have always been very staggering, and the Japanese hid in many buildings, constantly shooting cold guns at the Chinese army, and they could not be prevented.

The power of tanks in the narrow alleys was also greatly limited, but the Chinese also had flamethrowers as a big weapon of destruction, and they took fire measures against targets that could not be attacked for a long time, and soon most of the entire Shuri area was in flames, and ordinary people suffered heavy casualties.

But there was no way around it, and after two days of fierce fighting, China had cleared most of the Shuri city, and only Makita's turtle was huddled in the basement of his command post, and the bad news kept coming, and all his subordinates lost contact one after another, and there was no doubt that these people had gone to see Amaterasu.

And the Tokyo side just blindly let him insist, but there was no news of sending troops to help, didn't this not only let the horses run, but also prevent the horses from grazing!

Mu Dazhi was desperate at this time, he knew that Tokyo had given up on him, and the Chinese would soon kill here, waiting for him only to die, now he can choose how to end his life!

The ancestral saber was carefully taken out and gently wiped up, and at this moment, a violent explosion came from the next room, and the entire basement shook wildly, and the partition wall was also destroyed by the violent explosion, scattered bricks and cement were scattered and splashed in all directions, and Mu Dazhi's body was also hit by a few, and the blood was left immediately.

It turned out that a ground-penetrating bomb happened to hit Mu Dazhi's basement, some of his assistants and staff officers were killed in an instant, Mu Dazhi's house was far away, he was lucky, he didn't die, he was only a little injured, but when he looked at the corpses that were blown apart, he had a hideous expression. Mu Dazhi's heart seemed to be slammed.

A feeling of horror kept welling up from the bottom of my heart. In a daze, Mu Dazhi's mouth kept muttering: "Rush to the high mountain and let the corpses fill the ravine; Go to the sea and let the floating corpses float on the surface of the ocean......"

Looking at the military songs of all countries in the world, there is not a single such song with blood and murder, and it is a barbaric expression to ignore the life of the opponent, and to ignore one's own life is to be a complete devil, and Japan has cultivated such a group of ferocious war machines since the Meiji Restoration.

Aggression and killing are their mission. Makitaka was a Japanese general who was trained in this environment, and he thought that he could do the same, so he disregarded his own life and did everything for the honor of His Majesty the Emperor!

However, when it came to life and death, Mu Dazhi found that he was far from being as strong as he imagined, and the war knife in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting letters. was staring at him, ready to jump up and bite his throat at any moment.

Mu Dazhi's forehead was soaked with a layer of delicate beads of sweat, and his face became more and more pale, and then he trembled all over, his legs and feet were weak, and he screamed!

The sword fell to the ground, and Mu Dazhi finally did not have the courage to choose death. He became the highest-ranking officer captured by the Chinese.

The Battle of Shuri lasted a total of five days. Seven thousand eight hundred Japanese soldiers were killed, and another 213 were taken prisoner by the Chinese. China also paid 5,000 casualties, so that Okinawa fell under Chinese control, and the first phase of the Sino-Japanese war ended.

"The only death through the ages! As a lieutenant general, this Mu Da didn't have the courage to commit suicide! "After China captured Mu Dazhi, it did not publicize that the lieutenant general was already a very great official for Japan, especially the division commander of the Fifth Division of the Steel Army, and if it was used well, it would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to Japan's morale.

Therefore, Yang Sen did not rush to publicize it, and even asked the captives of Mu Dazhi to keep it strictly secret, and then he reported the news to the High Command!

Along with Mu Dayi, there was also a military flag of the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army, Yang Sen and Tian Songyao did not pay much attention to this matter, just a flag, and what is the big deal, a lieutenant general of Mu Dayi also hid the flag on his body, and finally solemnly handed it over to Yang Sen, looking extremely pious, as if he was treating some holy object!

Yang Sen didn't take it seriously, but Qiao Yu knew very well the value of the Japanese United Flag, the symbol of the Japanese imperial family was a sixteen-petal chrysanthemum, the imperial family used a fourteen-petal chrysanthemum, the Chinese used twelve petals, the ordinary people used ten petals, and the colonies used eight petals.

In later generations, the Green Party on the island of Taiwan took out an eight-petal chrysanthemum flag and kept preaching independence, but they didn't know that it was a colonial symbol, and using the colonial flag as the national flag at the time of independence was really ignorant to the extreme!

Japan's flag is a round of red sun shooting sixteen rays, known as the Rising Sun Flag, because of the use of the emperor's symbol, for the Japanese is a sacred object, the flag is in the people, if the flag is captured by the other side, the troops will be removed from the battle sequence.

Once the time of defeat came, the Japanese army also formulated detailed regulations, the military flag should be burned, and the part that could not be burned should be buried deep underground, and it must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

This time Mu Dazhi handed over the flag of the 11th Infantry Wing to China, which was also an accident, the 11th Wing has been responsible for protecting Mu Dazhi, and the flag protection team was also in the basement with him, and it happened that at this time, a ground-penetrating bullet killed everyone in the flag protection team, and there was no time to destroy the flag.

And Mu Dazhi was very disappointed in Tokyo, and his spirit was a little broken, and he actually found the wing flag from a pile of ruins and handed it to Yang Sen, after getting the news, everyone in the Supreme Command was ecstatic, they knew very well what such a small flag meant to Japan, this mouth was enough to knock Japan out!
