Chapter 764: The Capture of Okinawa (1)

On the second day after the 6th Group Army occupied the Wushi Military Port, Zhang Yunfei personally visited the Ministry of National Defense, where Zhang Yunfei gave important instructions.

First of all, it ordered the major armies in Japan to seize the offensive and destroy Japan as soon as possible, and at the same time as attacking Japan, send a telegram to the Japanese emperor, ordering Japan to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise it will be conquered by the Chinese army by force.

Secondly, it was ordered that all the industrial equipment in Japan, a large amount of gold, silver, etc., be transported back to China, and the aircraft carrier, a heavy cruiser, and two light cruisers at the Wushi shipyard were all towed back to the Tianjin shipyard to complete the follow-up construction works at the Tianjin shipyard, and then, after the completion of these warships and this aircraft carrier, were all equipped with the Chinese Navy.

In addition, the major army groups assembled on the Sino-Burmese border were ordered to make preparations as soon as possible, and a large amount of military supplies would begin to be hoarded in Yunnan, and it may not be long before the Chinese army crossed the Sino-Burmese border and entered Southeast Asia to fight.

Again, the Chinese Navy was ordered to seize the Japanese prefecture of Okinawa at an opportune time.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei gave instructions, the Ministry of National Defense immediately took action, and various orders were quickly issued to all troops.

The geographical location of Okinawa Prefecture is relatively important, and Zhang Yunfei has long had plans to make a move on Okinawa, but now, with the defeat of the Japanese navy, its strength has declined by a large margin, while the Chinese navy has gradually become stronger.

More importantly, the construction of the Chinese Marine Corps has been completed, it has reached the size of tens of thousands of people, training has been going on for a long time, and now the time is fully ripe for the capture of Okinawa.

Okinawa Prefecture is centered on the Okinawa Islands and consists of the Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands and other islands. Numerous small islands form an arc along Chinese mainland.

This arc, coupled with the Japanese mainland, basically constitutes the first island chain, and as a traverser, Zhang Yunfei naturally knows the importance of the first island chain.

In later generations, it is this first island chain that tightly encircles Chinese mainland, and the Chinese navy can only operate in China's coastal waters, and this time, Zhang Yunfei is definitely ready to control the first island chain in his own hands. Let it become the first line of defense and barrier on the periphery of Chinese mainland, and no longer let it become a shackle that restricts the development of China's navy.

Now, the Japanese mainland has been defeated and retreated under the attack of the major army groups, and a large area of land has been controlled by the Chinese army. As long as Okinawa is recaptured, most of the first island chain will be under Chinese control.

In addition, Okinawa is also the territory occupied by other countries occupied by Japan, and historically, Okinawa did not belong to Japan.

Okinawa is strategically located between Taiwan and Kyushu, adjacent to Kagoshima Prefecture, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the East China Sea to the west.

Historically, Okinawa Prefecture has been a vassal state of the Chinese Ryukyu. Located between the Japanese island of Kyushu and Taiwan Province of China, it was occupied by Japanese forces in 1879, which was accustomed to aggression and expansion, and was destroyed and renamed "Okinawa" by Japan.

Mid-August.

A huge fleet is sailing in the direction of Okinawa, which includes a large aircraft carrier and several light and heavy cruisers. A huge fleet of several destroyers, followed by twenty or thirty transports, large and small, were followed by these warships.

This is the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy.

These twenty or thirty transports are a few hundred tons smaller, and one or two thousand tons larger. All of them were converted from former large fishing boats or large merchant ships.

Now, the large transport ships of the Tianjin shipyard are still being built and have not been delivered to the Navy, and for the time being, they can only be replaced by these various transport ships, which are now full of fighters, these are 5,000 soldiers of the Marine Corps.

Liu Dazhu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, stood on the deck of the "Datong" and looked at the sea in the distance with a telescope.

Liu Dazhu found that he liked the navy more and more.

At present, the construction of the domestic armed forces is vigorously tilted towards the navy, and not only a large number of ports and shipyards have been built, but at the same time, the scale of the navy is also preparing to expand again, and the funding has also increased substantially.

In this way, while Liu Dazhu was happy, he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, and he often secretly thought in his heart that he would definitely do a good job to develop the Chinese Navy into a world-class navy and live up to Chairman Zhang's heavy responsibility and expectations for himself.

With the successful test launch of the "Stinger" II missile and the towing of the second aircraft carrier from Japan to the port of Tianjin, Liu Dazhu's confidence was unprecedentedly high.

The Stinger-2 missile was improved on the basis of the Stinger missile, not redeveloped, so it was very short in time, and the first missile had already completed its test launch a few days ago and successfully hit the target.

Compared with the "Stinger" missile, the "Stinger" II missile has a longer range, with an effective range of 100 km, which is more powerful, and the power of the "Stinger" missile has been increased by 50 percent.

In addition, and more importantly, the hit rate of the Stinger-2 missiles has been greatly increased, from the previous rate of the Stinger missiles against destroyers to about 50 percent, but now it has increased to more than 70 percent, that is, two-thirds of the missiles can hit the target.

Next to Liu Dazhu, a naval colonel commander walked over quickly and reported loudly: "Chief, we are still about 50 nautical miles away from Naha Port, should we continue to move forward, or?" ”

When Liu Dazhu heard the report, he immediately said: "Continue to move forward, and at the same time, ask the Air Force whether the bombing of the little devil Naha base has begun." ”

At this time, the bombing of the little devil Naha base by the Air Force was about to begin.

The 20 "Super Flying Fortress" bombers of the Chinese Air Force have taken off from the Shanghai airport, and at present, they are approaching the sky above the Naha base of the little devil.

The forces of the little devils in Okinawa are mainly concentrated in the Naha base, and in addition, there is a small part of the forces in the port of Naha. There are three or four thousand little devils stationed at the Naha base of the little devils, and in addition, on the small airfield near the Naha base, the little devils have more than a dozen fighter jets.

The 20 "Super Flying Fortress" bombers are still dozens of kilometers away from the Naha base of the little devils, and the radars of the little devils have finally detected this group of aircraft.

Suddenly, a terrible siren sounded at the little devil's airport, and the little devil's pilots hurriedly prepared to take off, and the 25-millimeter air defense cannons deployed at the little devil's airport were also hurriedly preparing for battle.

More than a dozen planes of the little devil took off in a hurry, and the little devil pilots were up and down in their hearts, because there were only a dozen fighters of the little devils, and they were still relatively backward Nakajima-type fighters, and the "zero" fighters of the little devils naturally would not be deployed here, and were basically deployed on the front line of the naval battle.

At present, the main naval force of small Japan is engaged in the tragic naval battle of Borneo with the American army, but the naval battle has been going on for a long time and is gradually coming to an end.

More than a dozen planes of the little devil quickly greeted them, and soon, the pilots of the little devils saw this Chinese group, and the pilots of the little devils saw that the planes flying over were all huge bombers, and the pilots of the little devils felt light.

Fighters fight bombers, and the little devils think they have taken advantage of it.

Suddenly, many little devil pilots shouted excitedly, and rushed straight towards the "Super Flying Fortress" group.

Before bombing the Naha base of the little devils, China's air reconnaissance planes had already reconnoitred several times at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, and the situation of the little devil's military base had already been figured out.

These 20 "Super Flying Fortress" bombers naturally knew that there were more than a dozen planes at the airfield of the little devils, and this time, these bombers did not have an escort, so everyone naturally had to confront the dozen or so Nakajima-type fighters of the little devils first.

"Comrades! The plane of the little devil is coming, everyone is ready to fight! ”

Having received the order, the gunners on the "Super Flying Fortress" bombers were ready to open fire, and everyone had long been ready for battle.

The main armament of the "Super Flying Fortress" bombers was several 30-mm cannons, as well as several large-caliber machine guns.

Suddenly, the 30-millimeter cannons on many bombers fired at the little devil's plane, and the range of the 30-mm cannon was very long, and the little devil's plane was at least two or three thousand meters away from everyone, and the soldiers struck first.

The flight of the little devil absolutely did not expect that the bombers of the Chinese army had such ferocious firepower, and suddenly, several of the little devil planes without any defense were hit.

The 30mm cannon was much more powerful than the machine gun, and the rate of fire was not slow, and the little devil planes that were hit immediately smoked and planted on the ground.

"Yaga!" A little devil pilot, seeing that several of his planes had been shot down before the exchange of fire, immediately shouted angrily, this is a bomber, it is even more ferocious than a fighter.

"Kill to !!"

A little devil officer who led the team also gave an order, ordering the little devil planes to fire at these "super air fortress" bombers, and at this time, the little devils' planes were at least a thousand meters away from the fighters' planes.

The small-caliber machine gun on the little devil's plane began to shoot at the "Super Flying Fortress" bomber, although the "Super Flying Fortress" bomber was relatively large, but because the distance was really too far, it had greatly exceeded the effective range of the little devil's 7.7 mm machine gun, and the little devil's shooting accuracy was very poor.

Seeing the little devils firing, the fighters were not afraid, and they fired at the group of little devils, and the 30-mm cannons of the fighters had a great advantage, and in the blink of an eye, several more planes of the little devils were shot down.

After paying the price of at least seven or eight planes, the planes of the little devils finally approached the group of fighters.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was close, the little devil's pilot finally felt light, and the little devil felt that he could have a big fight, and suddenly, the planes of the two sides were scuffled together.

The 7.7mm machine gun of the little devil and the 30mm cannon of the fighters staged a duel.
