Ishihara's "Decisive Plan" was divided into three parts.

The first is the Navy. Ishihara believes that the Imperial Japanese Navy was not wiped out, and the destruction of the Combined Fleet caused the Navy to lose most of its combat effectiveness, but Japan still had two battleships and four cruisers, and there were many smaller ships. Although the shortage of fuel limited their operations, the Royal Han Navy was still able to pose a sufficient threat to them operating along the Japanese coastline.

In addition, the Japanese Navy has 350 dwarf submarines, 1,000 man-operated torpedoes, and 800 suicide attack boats.

"We don't want to win the war, we want to give the Allies enough damage. We are not short of warriors, these people operate torpedoes and submarines and attack boats, and if they have a good command, they will definitely be able to sink many, many Han ships. ”

Minoru Higashi nodded heavily, "Ishihara-kun, that's right!" The chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, Ugaki, is in Tokyo, and it should be possible for him to command the navy! ”

"Is it a golden mask? I thought he was following the combined fleet...... This is great, with Ugaki-kun, the certainty of the ship attack battle is even greater! "Hideki Tojo and Ugaki are old acquaintances.

Seishiro Sakagaki, who has not been silent, also nodded, Navy Ugaki and Land Sakagaki, although the two do not know each other, they can be regarded as heroes.

"Indeed, with Ugaki-kun's presence, our chances of success are a little higher." Ishihara also quite approved of the golden mask, "Prince, then I'll continue to talk, the second part is, of course, the army." ”

In any anti-landing operation, the command staff has two options - beachhead defense or defense in depth. In the early days of the war, the Japanese army adopted all efforts to defend the beachhead, without leaving a single soldier for the follow-up battle, which has proved to be particularly vulnerable to the bombardment of the enemy's naval guns in several battles, especially in the face of the Han army, which has strong firepower and does not take artillery shells seriously, we should give up holding the beachhead, but belong to the terrain area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that the landing war becomes a war of attrition, consumes the strength of the Han army, and increases their casualty rate.

For the defense of Kyushu and the Honshu regions, we can adopt a compromise strategy, that is, only retreat the defending forces to a few kilometers from the shore. In this way, it was possible to avoid the shelling of the Han warships and ships, and at the same time, it was difficult for the landing force to establish an effective foothold because the space was too small. Counterstrike forces are deployed further back in the field to quickly support the side under pressure if the fighting begins.

The Empire's forces on the island of Kyushu were only four divisions, which was sufficient, and General Ryosuke Isoya, although he lost to the Russians at Nomenkan, could still be trusted to command such a defensive battle. Ushijima Manjun on the island of Okinawa can't hold it, he has done a good enough job, although our 100,000 warriors will inevitably be broken, but one of the Allied legions has basically been destroyed. Fighting like this, the Han State only had thirteen field legions, and they were added one by one, could the Han Emperor afford such a loss? Would he have chosen to send the Chinese army? The answer, of course, is no, our intelligence services have already received information about Chongqing's contacts with the United States - that little thing about Chongqing, will anyone not know about it?

Then our focus is on the defense of the west bank of the state.

"Yes, there are still six divisions and twenty new divisions in the state. We can also organize the National Volunteer Corps to plunge the Han invaders into our people's war! Aren't they the best at this in China? "Minoru Higashi's confidence has also come up!

Ishihara nodded firmly, "Prince, that's it!" ”

"I'll be tasked with organizing the National Volunteers!" Hideki Tojo knew that he was weak with others in military command, otherwise he would not have been ridiculed by Ishihara as a senior soldier in Tojo!

"Okay, Tojo-kun, we have 100 million citizens in the Great Japanese Empire, and it shouldn't be a problem to organize 20 million volunteers! Then, the defense of the west coast of Honshu will depend on Ishihara-kun and Sakagaki-kun. ”

"Hello!" This is the time that the two of them have to wait.

Regarding the third unit of the "Decisive Plan", Minoru Higashiku did not ask Ishihara to explain too much, and those few words were enough to explain everything.

Kamikaze! This was the trick that Ishihara relied on to deal with the Allied landing force. The next day, Emperor Showa announced the dissolution of the Konoe Cabinet and the appointment of Hideki Tojo as Prime Minister, and also announced that Ishihara Wanji and Sakagaki Seishiro would be appointed as the chief and deputy chief of staff headquarters to assist Prince Minoru Higashiku in the defense of the homeland.

Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe, who supported the peace talks, was announced to be ousted, which meant that Japan had given up the last hope of peace, and the Allied armies attacking Japan had accelerated their actions. The commander of the Taiwan Front, the National Commander of Lin, ordered the Mosu Corps to end the Battle of Okinawa before New Year's Day.

The Battle of Okinawa has been fought for almost a month, and Okinawa is the fifth largest island in Japan, after the four mainland islands. At the same time, after losing control of the Sakishima Islands, the Okinawa Islands and Amami Islands were already the only barrier in Kyushu, and Japan deployed 2 divisions and 1 mixed brigade on the Okinawa Islands, about 8. More than 60,000 people, as well as more than 100,000 troops from the naval base and a special regiment composed of residents of the island, were commanded by Lieutenant General Ushijima Man. Due to the lack of troops, Ushijima was unable to implement an island-wide defense strategy. He abandoned the beach positions and placed the main Japanese forces in the southern part of the main island of Okinawa. There are two lines of defense with Shuri as the core, Makiko and Shuri, and a third line of defense in the Yaedake and Mt. Zadake areas at the northwest end. Each line of defense was based on the hilly terrain to form a multi-layered and solid defensive position.

The defense of the sea was entrusted to Okinawa and its neighboring islands, one squadron of torpedo boats and more than 600 suicide attack boats. As for the aircraft...... In addition to suicide planes, did the Japanese army have any fighter groups?

On the night of November 22, 1940, the strategic bomber unit of the Dahan Royal Air Force stationed in Taoyuan bombed the airfields of Kyushu and Shikoku and other military targets on a large scale. In the early morning of the 23rd, the four aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet, the Fengxiao, Wenhe, Wenruo, and Zhongda, took off a group of pterosaur and poison dragon planes and carried out non-stop bombing of the Kerama Islands and Okinawa Islands. Subsequently, the battlefleet carried out advance fire preparations, destroyed the island's airfields and exposed defenses, and eliminated the Japanese fleet of offshore attack boats. Bombers from Yonaguni and Miyako Island, and even Taipei and Keelung, joined the battle one after another, until on the 26th, the 56th Division of the 19th Army of the Yangzhou Corps, which had been transformed into an amphibious force, landed on the Kerama Islands and obtained the supply base of the Corps, and all naval and air firepower was turned to the main island of Okinawa. The Japanese sent only a dozen submarines left, but under the strict vigilance of the Pacific Fleet, they did not achieve very good results, and all but two of the Yushio-class returned home, and all of them were sunk. The towed sonar of the laboratory was successfully developed, and the destroyers of the Pacific Fleet and the Northern Fleet were the first to be installed against Japan. In the waters of Okinawa buried the last hope of Japanese submarines.

The maritime threat was lifted, and the Allied Mosu Army successfully landed in the central part of Okinawa, and the small number of troops deployed in the northern region by Ushijima Mitsuru only played a vigilant role, and they were completely unable to resist the advance of the Allied forces. One corps of the Mosu Regiment captured half of Okinawa and Ie Island in a matter of days. However, the other army that broke through to the south had just encountered stubborn resistance, and the Japanese army made full use of the steep terrain such as cliffs, deep ravines and valleys to build strong and concealed fortifications, and the Allied attack was slow. The last corps of the Mosu Corps was also engaged in the battle on the southern front, and on December 11, it finally broke through the defense line of Makiko and defeated the Japanese counterattack.

On December 16, the Japanese abandoned the Shuri Line, shrank their positions, and retreated to the southern line, and the Allies liberated Shuri Castle, the royal palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was a city built on a steep ridge that was liberated 60 years after the Japanese invasion of the Ryukyus in 1879, but its owner was still imprisoned in Japan or had been exterminated. However, in order to capture this ancient palace, the Mosu army paid nearly 20,000 casualties, and in the Jiashu Heights, the Japanese daredevils rolled down the hillside with explosive bags and blew up the amphibious tanks that assisted in the battle. Then they launched a charge against the Allied infantry who had lost the cover of tanks, and the Allied forces were defeated and retreated under the impact of the Japanese army, with nearly 5,000 casualties, and the Japanese offensive was contained only by the heavy artillery and superior firepower of the follow-up troops in the sea and air.

In Naha, the battleships Wenyuan and Wenqian of the Pacific Fleet led four cruisers and more than a dozen destroyers to launch a fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese positions, and nearly 1,000 howitzers of the Mosu Regiment also fired tens of thousands of shells at the Japanese positions, and then hundreds of bombers of the Navy and Air Force also carried out aviation fire preparations, dropping a large number of bombs and napalm, but after such a fierce and continuous firepower, the Mosu Army launched an attack, but the Japanese army used the tunnel to avoid the bombardment of the Allies, When the Allied artillery fire began to extend to the ground forces to attack, they entered the position to meet the battle, so the Allied offensive was broken up again and again. The Japanese army fully demonstrated its tenacious will to fight, every hill, every pillbox, every tunnel, and even every rock had to go through many bloody battles before it could be captured, and the fierce fighting lasted for five days, and the Allies barely advanced an inch.

This battle reminded Yu Rongfeng, commander of the Pacific Fleet, of the bloody battle of Pei Island, but this time, the area of the island was larger, the Japanese defenders were more, and the sacrifices of the allies were greater! If you continue to fight like this, the sacrifice will definitely be greater, although it is ...... But that's the power of the Allies! Commander Yu sent a telegram to the commander of the Taiwan side, Commander Quanguo, that he must apply to His Majesty for heavy tanks in order to speed up the assault!

Lin Ye of the whole country was scratching his head about this, and the hot-tempered loudspeaker spurted the blood of the commander of the Mosu Legion, Azmudi. But this matter really can't be blamed on this Sulu general, to say that the Mosu warriors are brave enough to still charge despite such a large casualty rate. The national forest also admitted that if it was replaced by the 13th Army of the Han Dynasty, in this case, it might not be able to fight better.

Yu Rongfeng's telegram reminded the whole country that there are still many black widows in Taiwan's Yizhou Army! There are more than 60 Mammoth weight tanks, and there are also light warrior special tanks, and it's not bad to spray fire at the devils who love to drill ditches.

In this battle, the army's equipment has to be reminded by the navy, and it is embarrassing to be designated by others, but who is the national forest? The four major members of the Imperial Army can't afford to provoke the whole loudspeaker, and the whole commander never knows what to call embarrassed! sent a telegram back to Yu Rongfeng, and said: Thank you!
