Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2513 Too much bullying
June 1944 is definitely an important month worth remembering by all mankind forever.On the Soviet-Russian battlefield, the Sino-Soviet armies launched a counterattack, and the German army showed signs of defeat. In the Pacific battlefield, after the Battle of Guam, the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Fleet once again took the initiative to attack the Ryukyu Islands.Ryukyu was occupied by the Japanese before Taiwan, and of course it was regarded as the mainland by the Japanese.When Taiwan was completely captured by the army of cadets, the Japanese could still deceive themselves and others, categorically denying the so-called nativism about Taiwan, and only willing to admit that the strategy of colonizing Taiwan had failed.However, Ryukyu has been incorporated into Japan for many years. In the hearts of the Japanese, it is the inherent territory of the Japanese Empire. Therefore, although there are many voices such as "non-native" in the Japanese cabinet, they cannot resist the raging public opinion.When the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet was still about three days away from Ryukyu, not only the military and civilians in Japan regarded the attack on Ryukyu by the Xuebing Army as an invasion of the mainland, Hirohito also personally came forward and ordered the cabinet and the military to not hesitate Defend Ryukyu at all costs.

Jumping directly from Guam to Ryukyu is the biggest difference between the Chinese version of the "leapfrog tactic" and the American version of the "leapfrog tactic".The Americans continued to move eastward after the Battle of Guam. It was because of the security of the homeland that they had to close the channel for the United Fleet to move westward so as to implement "close the door and beat the dog".After the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet captured Guam, Ouyang Yun also set his sights on Iwo Jima.It's just that he considered that Taiwan was firmly in his hands, after much deliberation, he finally decided to move the Ryukyu Islands first.Ouyang Yun made such a choice because of his traveler complex - in that time and space, China clearly had the opportunity to gain control of the Ryukyu Islands, but in the end he gave up.As a result, the Ryukyu Islands are like a chain locked on China's southern gateway to the Pacific Ocean, and Japan can further erode China's territory by virtue of its actual control over the Ryukyu Islands.Now that Taiwan has been recovered, there is actually no obstacle to China's southward march to the Pacific Ocean, but if China wants to continue to maintain its pressure on Japan and maintain the highest voice in the Pacific Ocean, the Ryukyu Islands are too important.With the Ryukyu Islands in hand, plus Guam, Chuuk Island, and Marshall, the Pacific Ocean is the real river at China's doorstep.

In order to attack the Ryukyu Islands, the Ryukyu National Liberation Army, which came from the Japanese army, would naturally use them. In the plan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the coalition government to "liberate Ryukyu", these people will also be the biggest leverage for China to govern the region after taking over Ryukyu.Because the westernmost island of the Ryukyu Islands is only about [-] kilometers away from Taiwan, it is completely possible to attack Ryukyu from both directions.The Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet directly attacked the main island of the Ryukyu Islands from the sea, while the Taiwan Army and the Dongshan Fleet marched towards the main island in stages from east to west.

If the Battle of the Timor Sea, the Coral Sea, and the Solomon Sea only made the Japanese realize the strength of the Pacific Fleet, after the Battle of Chuuk Island, the Japanese had to abandon the number one navy in Asia due to the grim reality. The obsession with being a powerful country has begun to admit that sea power is inferior to China.It has been less than three years since the establishment of the Pacific Fleet, but it has risen violently with a thunderbolt, and it has attracted the attention of the whole country in Japan. There have been big defeats near the sea.It is not surprising that the Japanese will have such negligence. After all, the ocean now belongs to the aircraft carrier, and the aircraft carrier is the key to determining the strength of a country's navy.In fact, not only the Japanese, but Americans, French, Germans, and Chinese, when they talk about the navy, which one doesn't just focus on the aircraft carrier?However, this is obviously unfair to the other two fleets under the command of the Xuebing Army.That's right, it is the Haikou Fleet and the Dongshan Fleet.Because of the needs of the war, after the establishment of the Xuebing Pacific Fleet, the Xuebing Army and even the coalition government must of course focus on the development of this ocean-going fleet, but this does not mean that the Dongshan Fleet and the Haikou Fleet have no combat missions.Take the Dongshan Fleet as an example. Although the fleet's jurisdiction is all small and medium-sized ships below the [-]-ton class, their contribution to the fight against Japan is also indelible.It is precisely because of their firm blockade of the Taiwan Strait that the fishing industry and shipbuilding industry in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang can flourish, and it can also greatly increase the cost of Japan's transportation of resources from Nanyang to the mainland.

From the perspective of the naval officers and soldiers of the Haikou Fleet and Dongshan Fleet, although there are many warships and brothers who have gone out of them to learn from the Pacific Fleet. The report of the Pacific Fleet did not mention their fleet, and some of their former comrades-in-arms made several achievements, and there was still a serious imbalance in their hearts.

Soldiers' sense of honor and disgrace is always higher than that of ordinary people, and the acquisition of honor is naturally related to war. From their point of view, they are not without the spirit of sacrifice and tactical quality. They are also inferior to those comrades transferred to the Pacific Fleet. How aggrieved it is to be able to blow the sea breeze and watch the sea every day? !

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that when they learned that they could join the battle of the Ryukyu Islands, the Dongshan Fleet, from the fleet commander Chen Shaokuan to the most ordinary sailors, all rejoiced. They had been looking forward to this battle for too long.

General Chen Shaokuan's appointment as the commander of the Dongshan Fleet was entirely out of his personal strong request.After Chen Yuanyang, the former commander of the Dongshan Fleet, was transferred to be the commander of the Wudao Tianwang Aircraft Carrier Fleet, he wrote three consecutive letters asking for the transfer of the Dongshan Fleet, insisting that he only needs to be given a captain.It is of course a joke for an admiral to be the captain of a second-class ship, so Ouyang Yun had no choice but to appoint him as the new commander of the Dongshan Fleet.

Everyone in Japan is closely watching the Pacific Fleet, and the information collected every day is also related to the Pacific Fleet. Therefore, when about fifty warships of the Higashiyama Fleet suddenly appeared in Yona, which is known by the Japanese population, on June 6th When it was on the sea to the west of the island, the whole of Japan was stunned.

The area of ​​Yonaguni Island is only 28 square kilometers, and it is relatively far away from the main island, and it is difficult to supply supplies, so the Japanese army only stationed one squadron on the island.With the strength of a squadron and no fort artillery, Chen Shaokuan came out in full force. This was clearly an elephant crushing an ant. How could the Japanese not be surprised.

It is said that when Yamamoto 56 in Tokyo received the relevant battle report, the old devil was stunned for a long time and then choked out a sentence: "It's too fucking bullying!" When Ouyang Yun in Chongqing received this news, he shook his head and said Chen Cheng next to him said: "It's like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, it seems that Commander Chen is really overwhelmed!"
