The first target plane, the eastern part of the Yanhuang Continent, the East China Sea.

At this time, a fleet was sailing here at high speed, and several fighter planes were flying in circles over the fleet, responsible for guarding and protecting the air safety of the fleet. As for the surrounding waters, which are farther away, the six reconnaissance planes are faithfully carrying out the task of "fan-plane" reconnaissance.

The fleet consisted of one Beijing-class heavy aircraft carrier (the Japanese Daiho armored aircraft carrier), one Guangdong-class battleship (the Japanese Yamato-class battleship), one Heilongjiang-class cruiser (the Japanese heavy cruiser), eight Anshan-class destroyers, and a large number of supply troop carriers.

In accordance with the principle of warfare, the Beijing-class aircraft carriers were placed in the center of the fleet, the Guangdong-class battleships and the Heilongjiang-class cruisers were on the left and the right to protect the navigation, the supply troop carriers followed closely behind the aircraft carriers, and even outside were eight Anshan-class destroyers, which formed the outermost ring of protection. Looking down from the sky, you can see that all the national flags promulgated by the New Yanhuang Democratic Republic -- the five-star red flag -- are hung in the entire fleet. That's right, this is the newly formed Xinyanhuang East China Sea Fleet! The purpose of their trip was also very simple, to capture the island of Okinawa, which had been forcibly occupied by the Japanese for decades!

Since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Yanhuang Navy has been in a slump and has had to use small ships and small boats to act as a "presence fleet" or "coastal defense fleet" for a long time. One of the consequences of decades of declining national strength is the massive shortage of naval professionals. Even if the Yanhuanghong Party has basically unified the whole country, it has absorbed a large number of former Bald Party Navy personnel. However, the number of defectors was far from enough to meet the needs of the new navy's large-scale ships, and besides, the concepts and tactics of naval warfare inherited by most of them were still at the level of "World War I" such as strong ships and sharp guns and torpedo boat assaults. There was no system at all to accept the baptism of aircraft carrier control and tactics, so it had no choice but to hire a large number of Stars and Stripes naval soldiers and officers within the East China Sea Fleet at this time.

"General Yi, I can't imagine that your country would resume work and launch so many unfinished warships on the slipway in such a short period of time, this is amazing!" Anderson, the head of the Star-Spangled Banner instructor, preached through a fellow Yan Huang translator.

"General Anderson, you have an overreputation, in fact, thanks to the army officers and soldiers of our country, they occupied the entire northeast territory extremely quickly, and kept a large number of warships that the Japanese did not have time to self-destruct and sink, plus a large part of the original shipbuilders were Yanhuang workers, and with the cooperation of the military and the people, it has the current scale." Yi Yaocai, commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Fleet, replied with a smile.

"Either way, that's a great achievement!" Anderson, the straight-hearted Stars and Stripes, didn't have so many politenesses, and said whatever came to mind, "It's just a pity that because the time is too tight, you sailors are all short-term accelerated training, and only learn the most practical courses in navigation, navigation, weapons, operations, ship position determination, and basic fleet tactics, such as more basic and important naval engineering courses, naval academic courses, leadership courses, as well as naval weapon system courses, damage management system judgment and maintenance, etc., there is no time to study and study." Anderson, who came from the academy and was a strict person, shook his head and continued.

"There's no way, the most important thing we lack is time." Yi Yaocai, commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Fleet, half sighed and half smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, in this battle of Okinawa, the resistance of the Japanese army above is extremely weak, so this kind of combat training relying on actual combat can allow our soldiers to grow up as quickly as possible." ”

Three hours later, more than 200 nautical miles northwest of Okinawa.

The Beijing-class heavy aircraft carrier is doing the final security check and ship steering work before a large number of planes take off.

The Beijing-class heavy aircraft carrier (the USS Dafeng armored aircraft carrier) is 260.6 meters long, 27.7 meters wide at the waterline, with a standard displacement of 29,300 tons, a full load displacement of 34,200 tons, and a maximum speed of 33 knots. It has a total load of 5,700 tons of oil and a cruising range of 10,000 nautical miles / 18 knots.

Unlike other aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy, the "Taiho" was designed by the Japanese to support other aircraft carriers in the fleet when it was built, and it did not take the number of carrier-based aircraft as the highest priority, but put the ship's protection in the first place, and focused on improving its defense capability. Therefore, the number of carrier-based aircraft of the Beijing-class heavy aircraft carrier is relatively small, with only 75 aircraft in total: 27 in ship combat, 27 in ship explosion, 18 in ship attack and 3 in reconnaissance aircraft (ship battle, ship explosion, and ship attack have been replaced by Stars and Stripes equivalent performance aircraft).

"Left full rudder, sailing against the wind, ordered the fighters to take off first to prepare for escort, and the bomber squadron took off later." Yi Yaocai followed the steps of the original training, and ordered very seriously but a little rigidly.

"Yes!"

Soon the flight deck with a total length of 257.5 meters suddenly became lively and noisy, the fighter at the very end of the flight deck, under the command of the ground crew, aligned the deck runway in turn, and then increased the propeller speed with maximum power, and the black exhaust gas quickly dispersed from the engine discharge port in the nose, and in just a dozen seconds, an F4F Wildcat fighter quickly sailed over the ship island, and with the help of its own speed and sea surface wind pulled upward, flying to the sky.

"It worked!"

"Good luck!"

"Let's go!"

"Avenge the dead countrymen!"

Within more than 20 minutes, in the midst of excitement and nervousness, the Yanhuang East China Sea Fleet, which sailed out of Bohai Bay for the first time, achieved a 100 percent success rate in the first take-off of ocean-going carrier-based aircraft, and flew toward Okinawa Island in an attack formation composed of 25 fighters, 25 fighter-bombers, and 15 dive bombers. In World War II, in addition to fighters, fighter-bombers, and dive bombers, aircraft carriers should also be equipped with a small number of torpedo attack aircraft, but first, the number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the Beijing-class heavy aircraft carriers themselves was small, and second, there were no enemy ships around Okinawa at all, and torpedo planes were useless at all, so the current Battle of Okinawa was directly abandoned.

"Leave four Anshan-class destroyers to escort the aircraft carrier, and the remaining destroyers cover the landing ships and troop carriers, and together with the battleships and heavy cruisers, launch an attack on the intended landing area on the beachhead of Okinawa." Yi Yaocai immediately ordered when he saw the air supremacy force set off.

"Yes!"

June 29, 1944, 2 p.m., Okinawa.

Although Okinawa had a population of more than 200,000 at this time, there were no more than 10 boats that could go to sea to fish, and most of them were small wooden boats. Without the early warning of the Japanese air force planes, the escort of the sea destroyers of the Combined Fleet, and the reconnaissance of submarines under the surface of the sea, the whole of Okinawa would have become a blind and deaf man, who could only live one day at a time and resign himself to fate.

However, as the number of reconnaissance by the Yanhuanghong Party planes became more and more frequent, the most dull-headed Japanese also knew that the deadline was coming. As time passed, the island's population began to polarize, with a small number of old Japanese men, armed with knives and a small number of guns, ready to wage a final "holy war" to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. Most of the others fled deep into the island's dense forests with enough food to survive the troubled times.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After the landing detachment of the Yanhuang East China Sea Fleet arrived around Okinawa, the 460mm front and rear guns of the Cantonese-class battleships reversed their angles and began shelling the area where they were scheduled to land (although there may not be any enemy at all).

Half a minute later, a ton of ammunition as high as one ton hit a sandy flat in the western part of Okinawa Island, and the huge explosion and the violent trembling of the earth made the Japanese people hiding in the nearby mountains panic, and everyone instinctively curled up together, hoping to be blessed by the heavens and redeem themselves.

"Order the bombers to reconnoiter and attack the hinterland of the landing area, the fighters to carry out strafing escorts, order the large landing ships to start releasing the landing craft, and the landing campaign begins!" Zhang Xuesi, captain of the battleship 'Guangxi' (Guangdong-class), ordered.

"Yes!"

More than 20 minutes later, the first wave of troops, consisting of nearly 100 landing craft, arrived at the beach. There are no mines, no roadblocks, no blocking fire, everything is like reconnaissance, and Okinawa is an "abandoned island".

"Don't get distracted, everyone builds up cover fire as they usually train, and send two platoons to occupy the commanding heights on the hillsides on both sides. Attention everyone, I'm repeating, this is not a drill, we have set foot in the area occupied by the Japanese invaders, we are all in good spirits, don't be hit by the enemy's cold guns, dead nests, do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

"Tell the landing force not to rush too much after establishing a beach-grabbing area, and wait for the tanks and armored personnel carriers to come ashore before attacking deeply. There is no suspense about the occupation of Okinawa by our troops, and our goal should be zero casualties. "Zhang Xuesi, the captain of the battleship 'Guangxi', issued an order after seeing the successful landing information reported by his subordinates.

"Yes!"

An hour later.

The landing force of about 20,000 men came ashore one after another, armed with more than 50 light tanks and armored vehicles, and according to the earlier deployment, they divided their forces into two routes and began to attack separately.

"Damn, there's no little devil either." Corporal Sun San scolded as he walked.

"Yo~~ San'er, what's wrong?" Squad leader Deng Jiatai joked with a smile.

"Squad leader, we're here to fight devils, but you see, there's not a single devil." Sun San pointed to the hill in the distance and complained.

"Poof~" As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet hit Sun San's helmet and popped out of the distance due to the angle.

"Enemy attack!"

"Cover!"

"Be careful!"

"Watch out for enemies~~"

"Damn, do you see the enemy? Where is it? ”

"It seems to be in the tall grass in front of the mountain ahead, the grass is too dense to see clearly, squad leader!"

"Let the tank rush over first, Wang Zaixing, Zuo Qi, Zhao Hui, Sun San, you and I follow behind the tank, pay attention to safety."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"Everyone, listen, from the beginning of our landing, no matter whether men, women, children, or women, whether the people on the other side are wearing Japanese uniforms or not, as long as they shoot at us or attack with knives, they are the enemy, and there will be no mercy!"

"Yes!"
