While Nakamura was trying to mobilize the remnants of the 4,000-strong army, the northern part of the main island, dozens of kilometers to the north, was also attacked by the Australasian Air Force.

In the spirit of fairness and justice, the Australasian Air Force launched an air attack on the infantry wing of Division B on the size of Division A, dropping at least hundreds of bombs and hundreds of missiles.

After a whole round of bombardment, the infantry companies of Division B also suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the casualties, and the vast majority of the casualties were serious injuries or deaths.

What Nakamura didn't expect was that they pinned their hopes on the location of the B Division, but the casualties of the B Division were not much better than them.

What's more, because Division B controls a small offshore fleet, it is not only the Air Force that attacks but also a formation of the Navy.

Even in order to guard against possible support from the navies of the island countries, the Pacific Fleet can be said to have exhausted its main force, and a large number of submarines are deployed around the sea area, quietly waiting for the arrival of the possible island country fleet.

What is more disappointing is that the island navy obviously does not have the idea of a decisive battle with the Australasian navy now.

But it's normal to think about it, for an island country like an island country, a decisive naval battle also means that the war is about to be won.

Once defeated in a decisive naval battle, the mainland of the island nation will be completely blockaded by the Australasian fleet, and no matter how powerful the army is, it will be a landlubber after all, and it is impossible to fight on the water.

In this regard, Australasia is obviously much better than the island country.

Although Australasia is nominally an island country, the mainland is so large that it is not even a problem to call it a small continent.

As a country that monopolizes an entire continent, even if Australasia is blocked, it can still rely on Australia's rich mineral resources and materials to hold on for several years.

However, such land area and material advantages are not available to few countries in the world.

Before the United States perished, it was definitely one, and the overall environment was much better than that of Australasia.

But after the demise of the United States, the countries that still have such advantages are led by Australasia.

Compared with the air raids launched by the Air Force, the attacks launched by the Navy are truly earth-shattering.

First, several submarines infiltrated the waters where the island's coastal defense fleet was located and launched torpedoes to attack.

Then led by 1 aircraft carrier, 2 heavy cruisers and 4 destroyers opened fire in full force, targeting the small fleet and the bases on the coast.

Under the bombardment of large-caliber naval guns, the bases on the coast were quickly turned into ruins. The severed steel bars were exposed to the ground and covered with a layer of gunsmoke, proving how fierce and brutal the bombardment had just been.

As for the small number of island soldiers stationed at the base, they have disappeared completely. Perhaps only a little bit of blood and dirt poured on the concrete buildings can prove that they existed not so long ago.

After the successful attack on this coastal defense fleet, the island forces on the Ryukyu Islands had no hope of retreating.

Naha and other small cities were also completely blocked, and the waters around the Ryukyu Islands were forbidden to see any island ships without Australasia's permission.

Because of the prior warning, any ship of the island nation that appears around the Ryukyu Islands will be regarded as the naval fleet of the island nation, and the Australasian Navy will take the initiative to attack at all costs.

This decision was made precisely to prevent the island's army from fleeing in a variety of civilian ships after it had dispersed into various cities and villages.

In parallel with the air strikes, the Kalimantan and Philippine armies also carried out a final general assault on the coast.

It was clear that the remaining infantry wing was completely unable to stop the combined attack of the Kalimantan and Philippine forces.

The infantry wing of the A division has a full strength of nearly 5,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is still considerable.

But the problem is that the landing battle on the coast has been going on for a long time, and all the establishments of the A division are in a state of dissatisfaction, including the infantry wing stationed there.

After a long period of fighting, the 2nd Infantry Wing of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the A Division had only about 2,000 combat strength left.

These people are a little powerless in the face of the attack of tens of thousands of enemies.

The most critical point is that after Naha was occupied by Australasia, the troops stationed on the coast no longer had much supply of weapons and equipment.

The supplies from far away from the island country cannot be transported, and Naha's supplies have been occupied by Australasia, which also means that the weapons and ammunition reserves in the hands of the island army's army are getting smaller and smaller.

The problem grew worse over time, and eventually came directly to the Australasian army due to the lack of manpower.

The final landing battle took just over an hour to completely conquer the garrisons and defensive positions of the island's troops on the coast.

More than 2,000 island soldiers ran out of ammunition and tried to fight the Australasian army with bayonets.

But alas, they are facing the Filipino and Kalimantan armies, which do not care about casualties. Although the remaining 2,000 or so soldiers of the island nation have caused thousands of casualties among the Kalimantan and Philippine troops, they are still only struggling to the death in the face of tens of thousands of troops.

At 5 p.m. on July 24, the landing battle finally came to an end with the killing of more than 2,000 soldiers stationed along the coast.

Immediately afterward, Commander Christie ordered all troops to go to the island to recuperate, and notified the Navy and Air Force that the two forces rebuild their naval and air bases in the Ryukyu Islands and deploy at least 1,500 aircraft.

Now that the Ryukyu Islands have been occupied, the next task is to organize the air force and drive a few bombers to the island country to have a fun time on the island mainland, in addition to clearing the remnants of the island nation in the island.

Of course, because of the limited number of places to play, we can only take a rotation method, and strive to let each bomber have a glimpse of the style of the island country, and by the way, leave their own things in the island country as a souvenir.

By 7 p.m., tens of thousands of troops had already landed on the island and were temporarily stationed near Naha.

At the same time, the more than 10,000 airborne troops who had been airborne at the beginning finally reunited after more than 10 hours of arduous fighting.

A total of 12,387 paratroopers were paratrooped, 3,407 killed and 5,822 wounded in battle. Of these, 1,742 were slightly injured and were able to continue fighting after simple treatment. The remaining 4,080 soldiers were seriously injured and needed surgery and recuperation before they could regain their combat effectiveness.

The Australasian government has also been prepared for such casualties.

After obtaining enough equipment from a few accompanying medical vehicles, a relatively rudimentary field hospital was quickly formed in Naha Castle.

Although the environment is relatively simple, it is still okay to perform surgery. Moreover, medical supplies from Australasia continue to arrive by air, and the field hospital has no shortage of medicines and equipment.

However, due to the small scale, most of the seriously injured still have to be transported back to China for treatment.

Fortunately, the Sop-34 transport aircraft can transport dozens of wounded people at one time, and hundreds of transport planes can be dispatched at the same time, and in one day, all the Australasian wounded can be transported home.

As for the wounded in the Philippines and Kalimantan, Australasia will naturally not let it go.

For those who are lightly injured, Australasia has built a special simple medical station, where they can receive certain treatment and medicine to ensure that they can quickly recover their combat effectiveness.

Seriously wounded Aboriginal soldiers were transported back to the Philippines or Kalimantan for treatment and some medicines.

Although it is a relatively slow way to take a boat, the good thing is that the distance is not far, and you can return to the country in a few days.

Because it was already approaching night, Commander Christie had no idea of continuing the battle for the time being.

Whether it is an Australasian soldier or a Filipino and Kalimantan soldier, after a long battle, fatigue and exhaustion are certain.

Let them rest for a while, and then there will be enough time to continue the battle and send the people of the archipelago to God.

In the evening of the same day, the logistics department prepared a large amount of beef and mutton and fresh fruits to reward the troops of the three countries.

Australasian soldiers, as well as Filipino and Kalimantan soldiers, were able to get beef and lamb and fresh fruit for dinner.

Of course, there are certain differences in terms of specific shares. Australasian soldier beef and lamb are available in almost unlimited quantities, and you can eat as much as you want.

The Kalimantan and Philippine armies, on the other hand, only have a maximum of two steaks per person, which is about a pound or so.

Although it is not much, it is definitely quite a luxurious dinner for Kalimantan and the Philippine army.

In addition to the beef, the dinner was served with pasta, sausages, white bread and some vegetables, Australasian soldiers had a choice of brandy, wine and whiskey, and the Kalimantan and Filipino armies also served a limited number of spirits that each could take a sip.

It was clear that the night of July 24, 1936, was definitely a night of revelry for soldiers from Australasia, the Philippines and Kalimantan.

After a long war is finally over, soldiers can also relax, sip on spirits, eat beef, and enjoy a short period of comfort.

But just one night later, the atmosphere became tense again.

The war is not over, not even on the Ryukyu Islands.

Although the garrison on the coast of the Ryukyu Islands was eliminated, according to the intelligence of the Air Force, there were still two remnants of the Ryukyu Islands, adding up to several thousand troops, were still circulating around.

Although the strength of a few thousand troops does not pose any threat to the current Australasian army, if this army is not removed, it seems to Australasia to be stuck in the throat.

The good news is that with the intelligence of the Air Force, it will be much easier to eliminate these two remnants.

What's more, these two remnants have long been bombed by the air force, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and there is no threat to the Australasian army.

If it weren't for the fact that bombing would not have been possible to solve all the enemies, and if the planes had been depleted of ammunition for a long period of time, I am afraid that this combat mission would not have been the turn of the army.

After all, the Air Force has been staring at these two armies for too long, and this is a credit to the hand, and the Air Force has no reason to let it go.

With the intelligence of the Air Force, the approximate location of the two armies has been basically determined. If the guess is correct, the purpose of the remnant army in the south should be to merge with the remnant army in the north.

This is also good news for Australasia, if the two armies can converge, it will be convenient for the Australasian army to solve it at once.

In order to be able to catch up with the enemy, Australasia used a large number of cars and motorcycles. Although the main island is not very large, it is still okay to let trucks and motorcycles drive for a while.

Thanks to the infrastructure of the island nation on the main island, at least the roads are still repaired very well.

The well-connected roads also facilitated the offensive of the Australasian army, at least in pursuit of the island army, making the Australasian army more effective.

Including the trucks left in the Ryukyu Islands by the island's military, nearly 400 trucks were dispatched in total, and nearly 30 soldiers were transported on each truck.

This also means that the total number of soldiers chasing the island's army in trucks is close to 12,000.

Of the specific proportion of 12,000 troops, Australasia only dispatched about 3,000 troops, and the remaining 9,000 troops were basically Philippine and Kalimantan troops.

In addition to pursuing these islanders, the more than 9,000 Aboriginal soldiers had another mission, which was to be stationed in the area that originally belonged to the island nation's B Division, and to help build an air base in Australasia.

The air base built in the northern part of the main island will not only effectively control the entire Ryukyu Islands, but will also affect the mainland of the island nation further north.

On the premise of fully dispatching jet planes, it is even possible to do five or six hours to run a round trip, at least three times a day to bomb the island country.

Compared with the more advanced Australasian army, the island army is much more pitiful at this time.

Because it was often bombed by the Australasian army, the army of the island nation did not dare to use more conspicuous trucks and other equipment, and could only rely on foot to join the B Division in the north.

But the problem is that the distance between the two is up to tens of kilometers, and it will take a long time if you only rely on walking.

While Australasia was celebrating its victory, the island's army was still on its way overnight.

Finally, before dawn, the remnants of Division A finally approached the station of Division B.

Just when the officers of the Division A led by Nakamura Taiki thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were horrified to find that their destination had already been bombed by Australasia, and the situation at the station was even worse than the bombardment they had suffered.

The convergence is a convergence, but the combined number of island troops after the convergence is only about 6,000 people, and some of them are wounded.

Trying to rely on these armies to fend off the attack of the Australasian army was obviously a bit self-inflicted.

Updates are delivered. In the past two days, the manuscript has been deposited, and it will start on the 28th and last until 5.7.

The old rule, in the middle of these ten days, take one day off and pay two days a day, no difference of 1,000 words and 3,000 words.

The book has entered the late stage, kneeling down and begging for the support of the brothers, to give the author a little motivation (the more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to write, and you can't even hold a word for an hour)
