Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Chapter 1724 Night Attack on Okinawa

The navy is composed of a battleship, a cruiser, and eight destroyers. The Second Fleet of the Task Force, as well as the submarine force and the aviation force stationed in Kyushu, are responsible for anti-landing support and cover tasks.Okinawa and its neighboring islands also have a squadron of gunboats and more than [-] suicide attack boats.

Although this level of defense is not enough in the face of the powerful navy of the national army, the high-level officials of the island country have placed high hopes on it.

The safety of Okinawa directly determines the lifeline of the Songhu battlefield. Once Okinawa falls, it means that the Chinese navy will drive its long vehicles straight into the East China Sea. The situation of the generals is very critical, and the time left for them is far less than the fifteen days they imagined.

Moreover, with the springboard of Okinawa, the national army aviation can bomb the mainland of the island country at any time, and threats from the air will become the norm every day.

With the current strength of the Chinese Air Force and the small size of the island country, the terrifying scene can be foreseen.It will be tens to hundreds of times more intensive than the Locust Army's bombing of Chinese territory.

"Order Tadano Sano to defend the Okinawa Islands at all costs until the last person is killed."

Hirohito Tianchao personally ordered, and then ordered Yamamoto 56 to support them at sea, dispatching at least three aircraft carriers to participate in the battle.

By this time, there were only ten aircraft carriers left in the island country, and all the main aircraft carriers were lost. The rest were small and medium-sized aircraft carriers, and at least half of them were converted from cruise ships.

Island countries with extremely scarce resources show their spirit of conservation everywhere. The Adzuki tanks in the early days of World War II were not alone, and its seven "Eagle-class" aircraft carriers were also typical products of conservation.

Basically, they are transformed from cruise ships and large shopping malls. The method is equivalent to changing a van into a truck, by sawing off the rear part of the roof and laying steel plates.

This kind of aircraft carrier has a huge gap in combat effectiveness, especially its slow speed and small aircraft capacity, which limit its combat use.

Moreover, with the increase in size of carrier-based aircraft, these aircraft carriers cannot continue to be upgraded without catapults, and their combat capabilities are further degraded.

In terms of hull design, especially the important aspects of fire and explosion protection and underwater defense, it has become a fatal weakness. It can be said that the offense is limited and the defense is slag. Basically, it can only be engaged in fleet escort and aircraft transportation. It is to stay behind to deter the Chinese army that has no naval support along the coast.

Although he knew that the dispatch of the aircraft carrier was basically to die, but Yamamoto 56 did not disobey the locust, but gritted his teeth and agreed, because he knew that after the fall of Okinawa, his remaining ten aircraft carriers would no longer have a place to stand. The scenery is gone.

……

That night, Vientiane.

Heavy rain.

The rainy season on the southeast peninsula has come, and rainy days have become the norm. The Philippines across the sea also has a tropical monsoon climate, and it often rains heavily at this time.

The rainy season brought great trouble to the war. The first thing that bears the brunt is that the supplies cannot keep up, followed by the inability of the planes and fleet to dispatch normally, and the addition of many uncertain factors on the battlefield.

These factors undoubtedly gave the little devils on the Philippine island a chance to breathe, but at the same time they also created opportunities for Jiang Haoran.

At this moment, the signs of the Mi Army coveting the island country have long been revealed. Only by dragging their new force on the battlefield, they can't take care of others, and Jiang Haoran's decision to draw out the Third Army at this time is also based on this consideration.

Yamamoto 56's analysis is completely correct. At this moment, the two aircraft carrier fleets of the national army and the Yuansan Army are on their way to Okinawa. They are less than [-] nautical miles away from Okinawa. Unexpectedly, the ultimate goal of the Chinese army is not Okinawa.

In Jiang Haoran's eyes, the defense line of Okinawa carefully constructed by the little devil was a joke, he didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​landing.

The headquarters was busy, the general staff shuttled through it, the radio and telephone kept ringing, and the prelude to the war had already started.

A telecommunications staff officer stood up in front of Jiang Haoran with a folder between his legs, "Report, the 45th Army has called back, and the Taipei Airport has been repaired and can be put into use at any time."

Jiang Haoran turned back from the sand table, walked quickly to the window, opened the window, and the wind and rain poured in immediately, so scared that he immediately closed the window, but his upper body was already wet, wiping the rainwater all over his head and face, Jiang Haoran He cursed angrily: "Damn it, it's still such a ghostly weather, it's windy and rainy, why are the bombers dispatched?"

Huang Jie said: "Yes, judging from this situation, a night attack may not be possible. I just sent a telegram to Yang Honglie. They have already entered the island country sea. The sea is also very windy and waves, and the carrier-based aircraft is hardly dispatched. possible."

"Ask Su Peng, how's the weather in Taipei?" Jiang Haoran didn't respond to Huang Jie, but turned to the telecommunications staff.

The telecommunications staff stood up and said: "I have already asked, and it is not raining in Taipei, and the wind is about level [-]. Moreover, Kaohsiung Airport can be restored in two hours."

The Battle of Treasure Island has entered the final trailing stage. After tonight, the two armies will join forces in Taichung. The main force of the island army has almost been wiped out. Only a few rogues have entered the mountain. The cleaning work will take some time, but recovery The airport has become the current important task of the two armies.

Leng Rushuang on the side said casually: "If this is the case, then we can also mobilize bombers near Guangdong and Guangxi to carry out this mission. Although the strength will be weaker, just fly a few more times."

Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said: "No, what I want is that the little devils in Okinawa don't even have a plan to send a farewell message, so that the island army base camp doesn't even know what happened, and Okinawa completely disappears under their noses."

Jiang Haoran paused for a moment, and then said: "Order all the airmen at the airport to be ready to take off at any time, as long as the heavy rain stops, they can leave at any time."

"Yes, Chief." The telecommunications staff officer turned and left.

Leng Rushuang frowned, and said: "Boss, is this cloud explosion? The bomb is really so powerful that it can wipe out all the little devils on the island in a short time?"

Jiang Haoran showed an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Okinawa is a place with a lot of farts, as long as my aviation soldiers drop bombs accurately and do not miss them, there is absolutely no chance for the little devils on the island to escape by chance."

Huang Jie also smiled and said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Leng, you can go and see the report on the battle of the Cagayan River of the Yuansan Group. As long as it is taken care of by the cloud bomb? The shock wave can make rats more than ten meters underground do not even think about surviving. According to the information we have collected, the island army does not have such deep underground fortifications in Okinawa, so as long as the aerial bombs are evenly distributed, they can basically be wiped out.”
