The Ryukyu Islands include the Amami Islands, the Osumi Islands, the Okinawa Islands, the Sakishima Islands and other islands, and the Ryukyu Kingdom was established in history, and it was a vassal state of China.

In 1871, the Chinese navy finally launched an attack on the Ryukyus, which was also to restore China's original sphere of influence.

Five Chinese reconnaissance planes took the lead in taking off and flew toward the Japanese naval base in Okinawa, but by this time the entire base was empty, and Kato Kanji managed to escape from the attack of the Chinese wolves and stumbled to Okinawa.

The technicians at the port quickly checked the Kaga's injuries, but after seeing it, all the Japanese were half cold, and the Kaga was hit by six torpedoes, so it can be said that it was able to barely drive into the port, which was already the favor of God.

The huge hole in the bow of the ship continued to invade the seawater, and the interior of the cabin had been seriously damaged under the erosion of the seawater, and what was even worse was that the torpedo attack on the side side not only damaged the boiler, but also injured the keel.

Besides, Japan now has no ability to drag this big guy back to the mainland, Kato Kanji has a greater worry in his heart at this time, Okinawa is not safe, the Chinese navy may kill at any time, and Japan no longer has enough strength to fight China in the East China Sea, the wisest thing to do now is to withdraw to the mainland, otherwise the last bit of family money may be eaten.

Therefore, Kato Kanji did not hesitate to order the warships to be replenished quickly, and then set off immediately and retreated to the mainland, in fact, he also took considerable pressure to make this decision, and the forces in Japan would never want to see a retreat, which means that Japan has admitted defeat.

For island countries, a defeat even means a thousand years of sinking, and Japan has been pretending to be a grandson for more than a thousand years. It was not easy to show off his might in front of China. It also has a certain status in the world, and now no one can stand being beaten back to its original form all of a sudden.

Therefore, Kato Kanji knew very well that the country would definitely let him hold on to Okinawa and resolutely not allow him to retreat, but Kato had no desire to fight at this time, and the naval aviation in his hands had lost nearly half, and if the Chinese aircraft carrier was killed, there would be only a dead end.

Kanji Kato also played a slash and then play. After the retreat, he reported to the country, of course, the Japanese were furious, but there was no point anymore, he also knew that he had borne the shame of defeat, and now he took the initiative to retreat. Even if he returned to Japan, he first sent a regular telegram to Tokyo, explaining his intention to preserve his strength, and at the same time strongly advocated the role of the air force, believing that the way out for the Japanese navy lay in the planes, and then he committed suicide by disembowelment on the new flagship, the Akagi.

The Combined Fleet retreated, but the Kaga was left alone in the port of Okinawa, and all the soldiers did not leave their combat posts. Their mission is to live and die with the Kaga. To guard the dignity of the Japanese Navy, and Kato also gave the order. If the Chinese navy tries to capture the Kaga, they will blow up and sink the warship, and the Kaga must not fall into Chinese hands.

Soon the Chinese reconnaissance plane appeared in the sky over Okinawa, only to see the Kaga parked alone in the harbor, looking very lonely and lonely, and the battleship, which was originally a symbol of strength and majesty, gave everyone a very funny feeling at this time, just like a tragic clown, which is very similar to the situation of Japan now, and it was originally a joke that a small country wanted to swallow an elephant.

The opportunity that Japan was given was nothing but a joke played by history, and now that history has finally returned to the normal track, the good days of the island nation are over, and after reconnoitering the situation in the Ryukyus, Chinese bombers and torpedo formations have also appeared, and an overwhelming number of planes have launched a fierce bombardment of the port.

All the facilities are within the strike range of the Chinese Air Force, nothing can escape, Japan has also organized a large number of air defense forces, and even more than a dozen land-based planes have risen into the air to respond to the battle, but in the face of the disparity in power there is no effect, and soon these Japanese planes were shot down, becoming a fireball, falling down.

And the Kaga was also taken care of, and more than a dozen bombs and four torpedoes were damaged, and the superstructure of the entire warship was almost destroyed, and there were several holes in the side of the ship, like honeycomb coal, and the Japanese sailors suffered heavy casualties, and the entire warship was wrapped in thick flames.

After the successful destruction of the Ryukyu port, the Chinese navy had taken control of the air and sea supremacy of the entire Ryukyu Islands, and the Japanese defenders on the island suddenly lost all sources of replenishment, and they could only wait for the judgment of fate in fear.

The Chinese people finally waited for the long-awaited news, especially the news of the sinking of the two largest Japanese warships, the Kaga and the Michinoku, and everyone was overjoyed.

In contrast to the optimism of the people, the government has not relaxed at all, and although Japan's combined fleet has suffered a great loss of vitality, its backbone strength still exists, and what China needs to do now is to quickly consolidate the results of the war, take down the Ryukyus and Taiwan, and take all the sea control in the East China Sea into its own hands.

In this way, China's victory was completely stabilized, and after some discussions, the Taiwan side landed on Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou, and the people in charge of the landing operation against the Ryukyus were Yang Sen and Tian Songyao, and these four people were the backbone of the Sichuan army, and now the national defense force has completed the whole training work, and the proportion of Sichuan generals has exceeded half, and it is the number one faction that deservedly beyond.

The powerful Qiao Yu also had to consider the demands of these people, so there are good things to recover the country, and they must not be forgotten, and at the same time, Qiao Yu also sent Long Yun to the Korean battlefield, and the victory and defeat on the sea have been divided, so the battle on land is even more suspenseful.

The Chinese Army used this time to consolidate its control over northern Korea, and then used its air superiority to vigorously harass the Japanese rear supply lines, and now that the operation to divide the fields and land in northern Korea has begun, Kim Koo has also worked hard to formulate various regulations, but these things have become a joke in the implementation of these things.

There were some genuine idealists in the Government of the Republic of Korea, but more of them were opportunists, who had been waiting for the opportunity to make a windfall, so they were given orders. They act fast. First of all, all the Korean dignitaries who had been in contact with Japan were arrested and all their property was confiscated.

Most of these properties have fallen into the hands of the executors of this industry, but they feel that it is not enough, and the scope of the attack is getting bigger and bigger, and even the development is no longer a reform, but a robbery carried out by open fire, not only robbing property. Even the women did not let go, and the entire northern part of Korea was in mourning.

If it weren't for the strong pressure of the Chinese army, the entire social order would have collapsed, and there was a lot of bloodshed every day, and China took a measure at this time, that is, only allowed. Don't enter!

These Koreans can flee to the south, China will not interfere, thousands of Koreans have been deported to the Japanese-controlled areas in a short period of time, the population density of the north is rapidly decreasing, and the population burden on Japan has increased, making them even more embarrassed, but Japan has no way to refuse this gift, they are now at a disadvantage. It is also necessary to win the hearts and minds of the North Korean people. So they can't go too far anyway.

But the Japanese did have a way, and they gathered all the fleeing Koreans. Then, under the pretense of evacuating them to Japan, in fact, they were all sent to the Far East, and these people were used as live animals.

China's efforts to reduce the population of North Korea have begun to bear fruit, and as long as it continues to operate, it is not afraid that it will not become Lelang County again, which is definitely a much better name than North Korea or the Republic of Korea.

With a major naval victory, the balance of power between China and Japan has finally undergone a fundamental reversal, and the Chinese army, navy, and air force are planning their next offensive, and the military demarcation line in central Korea is constantly being filled with the sound of artillery fire, and both sides are tilting artillery shells at each other.

Japan has also made a desperate effort to carry out a comprehensive mobilization at home, sending six divisions and regiments in the direction of Korea, and in particular, sending more than 200 newly produced tanks as the most important force to defend south Korea.

After careful discussions, China first launched an attack from the direction of Okinawa, and the most fatal thing for the island countries is the issue of the maritime lifeline; as long as they occupy the Ryukyus, they will be able to further go north to threaten the Japanese mainland, and the United States has only taken this route to attack Japan in history; as for Taiwan, there is no need to worry for the time being, as long as it cuts off its ties with the Japanese mainland, it will be ripe and the water will come to fruition.

For the landing in the Ryukyus, China has gathered all its ships, oil tankers, cargo ships, fishing boats, passenger liners, tugboats...... As long as the ships that can sail to the Ryukyus are all on the list, in addition to the ships, China has also hoarded a large amount of arms and materials, and the amphibious landing operation is a new topic for the Chinese army, and it cannot be left unscrupulous.

By this time, the Chinese navy had sealed off Okinawa so tightly that any ship that tried to supply the island's defenders would be attacked, and naval aviation had intensified its bombing of Okinawa, attacking all military targets, as well as the Guangxi and the lightly repaired Chongqing.

Approaching the Ryukyus, the artillery operation began, the Japanese guard Ryukyu is the fifth division, that is, in the Anti-Japanese War known as the Steel Army of the Itagaki Division, which is also a crime-ridden unit, in the Anti-Japanese War in the Itagaki Division swept Shanxi, but also participated in the Nanjing Massacre, in fact, before the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War this unit was also stained with blood, this time the fifth division was responsible for guarding Okinawa.

The Chinese side is responsible for the attack is the Third Division of the National Defense Force, formerly known as the Sichuan Independent Cavalry Brigade, which is also the unit started by Qiao Yu, well-equipped and strong in combat, and the battle for Okinawa is destined to be a bloody contest!

After half a month of preparation, China began to launch an attack on the Ryukyus, the largest island in the Ryukyu archipelago, located between the Japanese mainland and Taiwan, 630 kilometers north of Kyushu. It is about 108 kilometers long from north to south, about 30 kilometers at the widest point from east to west, and only 4 kilometers at the narrowest point. (To be continued.) )
