(10,000 words plus more, although the monthly ticket recommendation ticket is smashed, well, I can withstand such a blow.) ）

It was close to 5 o'clock

The sun is shining outside Makihara on Ryukyu Island, but it's late June, and the days are getting longer and longer, and the sun doesn't set until nearly 7 p.m.

Small boats in the bay were constantly coming and going, transporting a large number of soldiers and equipment ashore, and because of the two landings in the Sino-Japanese War, the 6th Division was organized in an orderly manner and with considerable efficiency.

So far, there have been more than 5,500 officers and men on the landing, and after another night of hard fighting, the entire 6th Division (more than 10,000 people) will be able to go ashore.

In a pergola not far from the bay

Lieutenant General Kuroki Weizhen's hands were stabbed with his command knife, surrounded by a group of senior generals, who were looking at a topographical map of the Ryukyu Islands on the table and listening to the staff officer's explanation;

"After our army landed on the shore, it has quickly sent a small group of pioneers to advance 8~10 kilometers to control the surrounding roads and favorable terrain, block traffic and all information, and try to achieve the suddenness of military action.

At present, in the direction of Naha Port, there has not been any movement of the enemy forces.

The general staff of the division and regiment is making arrangements for the landing of heavy equipment to avoid losses from falling into the sea during night operations, and it is expected that most of the artillery and heavy machine guns of the division and regiment will be landed one after another before dark.

As for the ammunition, it will be necessary to wait until after dawn tomorrow before organizing the delivery.

We anticipate;

The entire landing operation will end at around 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, and some of the remaining food, tents, blankets and other supplies will not be transported in a hurry, and when the port of Naha is conquered, the cargo ship can directly arrive at the shore for loading and unloading. ”

"Yo Xi, it's good to drop a big drop." Lieutenant Kuroki Weizhen glanced at the people around him, turned a blind eye to the tragic situation of the corpses in the fishing village, and said in an extremely arrogant tone; "General Kawagen, I hope that at 7:00 tomorrow morning, your brigade will be able to make all the preparations for battle and attack in the direction of Naha Port, and by this time tomorrow afternoon, I hope to stand in Naha Port and look at Shuri Castle from afar, and give these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods of the Ryukyu Kingdom enough fear of death to show the glory of the Great Fuso Empire."

"Hey, resolutely carry out your orders, Your Excellency Division Commander." Major General Kogoro Heyuan "snapped" and replied without dragging the mud and water.

"Very good, I believe that the warriors of the empire are invincible, I plan to kill Shuri Castle in three days, this archipelago country has existed for too long and has brought too much trouble to the empire, it's time to erase ...... completely"

His words were murderous and smelled of cruelty, and suddenly he heard a long alarm bell from the bay, and the rest of the words choked in his stomach, and he turned around in great astonishment.

I saw that all the warships of the Fuso Combined Fleet in the bay rose thick black smoke and began to turn their bows to prepare to flee frantically, and the ships carrying soldiers also began to move slowly, and the people in the bay shouted and neighed.

Nani...... What the hell?

Just when the army generals were in doubt, a group of cruisers from the southwest sea was cleaving the waves at high speed, when the huge triangular steel masts jumped out of the sea one after another, the extremely oppressive huge steel hull shimmered with a cold luster, the black hole hole pointed straight ahead, and the chimneys emitting heavy black smoke had rendered the blue sky a gray-black, which was the color of death.

The Red Mountain Dragon Banner hanging high above the cruiser fleet fluttered in the wind, instantly sending Vice Admiral Kuroki Weizhen into the abyss of cold fear, and his body involuntarily began to tremble, and he was out of control.

Amaterasu, this is a trap.

Half-crossed, if Lieutenant General Kuroki Weizhen didn't understand the difficult situation at this time, he would really be a fool.

Almost immediately, he jumped up and shouted; "Quick, order the small boat to carry the officers and men ashore, let the troop carrier rush to the beach, and try to preserve the backbone of the 6th Division."

"Division commander, did you lift the heavy equipment into the sea?"

"This ...... Orders were given to hurry ashore. ”

Lieutenant General Kuroki Weizhen is reluctant to give up these heavy equipment of the division, Fusang is really poor, these heavy equipment are all family funds that have been accumulated for many years, how can you say that you will lose it?

Right now

The artillery fire of the cruiser in the distance had already smashed down on the head and face, and the mobile strike fleet led by the heavy cruiser Suzaku was full of firepower, blowing up the sea area in front of him to a boil.

The firelight, the corpses, the water column of the forest and the brutal killing, it was an asymmetrical heavy firepower blow.

The Matsushima, the flagship of the poor Fuso Combined Fleet, had just been boosted at a rapid rate, and the boiler and pipes exploded, turning into a dead snake lying on the surface of the sea, and could only move slowly at a speed of 3~4 knots per hour.

This speed is no different from stationary.

The point is that the front main gun of the Matsushima was also injured, and the standard appearance of the goods could not fire back at all, so it was a tragedy.

In just a few minutes

The "Matsushima" was bloodied by the dense rapid-fire artillery fire, and the whole ship that was hit was on fire, lying crookedly on the sea, and it seemed that it would not work.

The Kumamoto, Itsukushima, and Saikyo Maru, the only two cruisers that were able to escape, the Hashidate, and the Fuso, were the only two cruisers that could escape, but they were chased by the heavy cruiser Suzaku and the other three cruisers, and were hit into a large fireball at 12 nautical miles and 16 nautical miles, burning and sinking into the sea.

On the Gulf landing ground

The few cruisers left behind were a burst of concentrated fire against the troop carriers, and except for the four ships that had been roughly emptied, the Japanese soldiers on the other troop carriers jumped into the sea like dumplings, and then were shocked to death by the dense artillery fire that followed.

A 152 mm shell explodes in the sea, creating a powerful shock wave within a radius of 15 meters, and soldiers within this range have little chance of surviving, unless they are Super Saiyans.

And a 305-mm shell exploded in the sea, and a radius of 40 meters was a death zone, without exception.

The rumbling shelling in the bay lasted for half an hour before finally ceased, and when the smoke of gunpowder cleared from the sea, a scene of extreme tragedy was presented to everyone.

Several huge troop carriers were burning violently and slowly sinking, countless corpses, quilts, oil stains and stumps were floating on the sea, and the sea outside the port was already stained with bright red blood, exuding a choking stench of burning.

The damage caused by the shelling in just half an hour was staggering, and tens of thousands of Fuso soldiers died tragically, without even the slightest strength to resist.

In the tide where the waves roll

A handful of survivors can still be seen struggling to swim to the shore in the hope of swimming to shore and retrieving their lives.

This hope is very slim, because most of the troop carriers are docked at anchorages 4~5 kilometers away from the bay, where the sea is deep enough not to worry about running aground.

Swimming 4~5 kilometers in the sea to the shore is an impossible task for the vast majority of people who are proficient in water.

This is not swimming 4~5 kilometers in the swimming pool, nor is it in the inland river, even when the wind and waves are calm, there are 1~2 meters of waves in the sea outside the port, and it is easy to be drowned by a wave if you do not master the skills.

Seeing the complete annihilation of his Arai Independent Mixed Brigade, Major General Arai Youmi's heart was dripping blood, and he sat down on the beach weakly with his legs weak, and let out a terrible cry like blood; "Amaterasu, why is this happening?"

"They're here again, they're going to shell the coast, run!"

The astute officer saw the cruiser in the distance lined up in a long line, with the side of the ship facing the coast, and was so frightened that he jumped up and turned around and ran wildly.

At this time, don't say anything, run!

Sure enough, the cruiser's secondary artillery bombarded intensively, and the landing field was blown up with fire, dust, corpses and weapons parts were thrown into the air, and the houses in the fishing village collapsed, and the big trees were broken, which was simply the end of the world.

The shelling lasted for a full 20 minutes before it stopped, not to mention the loss of a large number of personnel and equipment, and all the materials piled high were blown into a large burning torch, the head of the fire was thirty or forty meters high, and from time to time there was a "crackling" explosion, which was the explosion of infantry ammunition.

This situation and this scene really make people want to cry without tears!

post-event inspection losses;

Most of the heavy equipment of the division and regiment was lost, about eighty percent, and the only remaining ammunition was insufficient, because all the ammunition sank to the bottom with the munitions ships.

The 20-minute heavy bombardment caused more than 800 casualties, and even with the more than 100 people who swam desperately to the shore, the total strength was only more than 4,830 people, and most of them were not fully equipped.

Clothing, food, tents and other materials were all lost, how can the word "miserable".

From this, it can be seen that landing without mastering sea supremacy is tantamount to suicide.

But now it's too late to say anything, and when you step into this deep pit, what you leave for Lieutenant General Kuroki Weizhen is a mess, and the disaster of the landing force is not over, and it is facing an extremely difficult situation.

Think about it with your toes, I'm afraid that the Ryukyu Kingdom has already been in full battle, maybe we have to add the army of the Ocean Kingdom, which has enough soldiers and ammunition, just waiting for the landing force to crash into it?

Well, now, there is no food to be found in the small fishing village of Mugang, and an army of thousands of people is trapped in a corner, and if you don't fight your way out, all of them will starve to death.

The change from happiness to despair was so rapid that even the Japanese officers could not accept it.

This is a full 16,555 officers and soldiers, in the First Sino-Japanese War, 5 Japanese divisions and regiments fought for 8 months without so many casualties.

The key point is that the latter figure is divided into casualties, and now the vast majority of officers and men are buried in the belly of the fish, dying very hard, and the wounded are very few.

Before nightfall

The mobile strike fleet of the Ocean Kingdom finished its work, patted its ass and left, leaving only one cruiser "Mercy" to monitor from afar, always staying at the end of the sea antenna.

It has to be said that it is very ironic that the cruiser "Mercy" did something extremely brutal.

That's it

Vice Admiral Kuroki no longer thinks about what is there and what is not, and now his only hope is pinned on Amami Oshima in the north.

The Ryukyu archipelago is home to hundreds of islands, but Amami Oshima is the second largest island in the north, having been occupied by the Satsuma clan more than 30 years ago and is still in the hands of the Fuso people.

The two islands are about 140 kilometers apart, and if the garrison on the island can detect the problem in time, they should be able to find some supplies by all means, and if they don't want anything else, they will need ammunition and food.

But as soon as this thought came to Lieutenant General Kuroki Weizhen's mind, it was quickly extinguished.

The combined fleet of Fuso has been completely wiped out, how can there be a fleet that can escort it?

That's when it happened

There was a cry of surprise in the darkness, and it turned out to be Vice Admiral Yokei Ito of the Combined Fleet and Captain Omoto of the Matsushima who knew that Osa, and several other survivors, had floated back from the sea.

Compared with the army's horses and horses jumping into the sea like flies, the officers and men of the navy are much smarter, and at least they know that they can find a life jacket to put on first, and then jump into the sea when the shelling is roughly over, so that the probability of survival is much higher.

In the middle of the night, some naval officers and sailors floated ashore one after another, about seventy or eighty people, and this was the only remaining blood and blood of the Combined Fleet.

After the war, the Combined Fleet lost 2,631 officers and men, almost a generation of elites died in the belly of the fish, which is really heart-wrenching and inexplicable.

Every gunner, a communications officer, every flag speaker, and every engineer here are elites who have been trained at great expense, not everyone can be a naval officer or soldier, and as a noble army, at least learn to eat steak.

Now, don't mention anything!

There is only a thought between heaven and hell, and if it is measured by time, then the officers and men of the combined fleet will talk for half an hour, absolutely no more.
