Chapter 942: Japan's Surrender I

readx; Historically, the Ryukyu Islands, which were captured by the US military after more than 100,000 casualties and were captured by China's land and sea siege, China only took them at the cost of more than 1,000 killed and wounded more than 5,000. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, these casualties occurred at the time of the landing, and in the middle and late stages, because China had not taken the initiative to attack, it was said that "I can't stand the suicide attack when I face the strong defense line and fierce artillery fire of the Chinese army, it is basically a one-sided massacre, and those who launched a suicide attack said" The infantry did not even carry out any tactical mobilization, they simply rushed up, and then fell in batches under the machine guns of the Chinese soldiers. Therefore, the casualty figure of the Ryukyu Front led by Zhao Zhike at this stage was almost negligible.

On November 21, after Emperor Hirohito and a large number of high-ranking military and political officials went to meet Amaterasu Okami, Lieutenant General Ushijima, who was in charge of the defense of Ryukyu Island, committed suicide by disembowelment in a cave in complete despair.

After Zhao Zhike's Ryukyu Front completely took control of the Ryukyus on November 24, more than 100,000 of the more than 100,000 troops on the Ryukyu Islands before the war were killed, a small number of them were killed in the early stage of the battle, but most of them were killed in the suicidal attack in the later stages of the Ryukyu Campaign, and nearly 3,000 people committed mass suicide in the past few days! Less than 10,000 hungry Japanese troops remained, surrendering to Zhao Zhike's Ryukyu Front in accordance with the final battle order.

The tragedy of the Battle of the Ryukyus can be said to have greatly shaken the Chinese side, but they did not expect to say, "I am cruel enough to others and so cruel to myself, even if I launch a suicide attack, there will be a collective suicide even after the end of the war."

Whether it is Zhao Zhike or other Chinese generals, they all believe that they are also the army of East Asia, but their own army is not so ruthless, if they face the situation of the Ryukyu defenders, it is estimated that the situation of fighting to the death will occur, and suicide attacks are also possible, but there will definitely be no collective suicide.

I have to say, 'My own national surname is indeed difficult for people of other nationalities to understand.'

When he said, "This was due to the second Tokyo nuclear explosion and the final battle order that was violently shaken and even turbulent, in Nanjing, Chen Jingyun looked at this final battle order with satisfaction, Chinese and at this moment he was full of smiles, but Ma Yinchu and Shen Gang and others beside him were also smiling.

"After half a year, I finally beat me down, it's not easy!" Shen Gang touched his beard and said with a smile, and Guan Shijie on the side also said: "It's not easy, our navy has gone through several wars, tens of thousands of casualties among officers and soldiers, and now it has finally paid off!" ”

Although Guan Shijie said so, the implication is that the battle was fought by our navy, and your army just picked up a peach in the end.

Shen Gang didn't care, it doesn't matter what navy or air force you have, the landing said, "It's our army unit that is on the mainland, and no matter what you say, you can't take the credit of the army!"

Chen Jingyun put down the final battle order in his hand, looked up at these old subordinates in the room, and said after a while: "In the past few decades, everyone has come together, and now it can be regarded as a small achievement, and you are fortunate!" ”

Chen Jingyun is a little grateful to these old subordinates in his heart, although such things have happened every year for decades of intrigue and power struggle, but in any case, China's military and political leaders have generally maintained a close-knit attitude, and they are able to abandon their prejudices and cooperate with each other when facing foreign enemies.

"In addition, I will pass on a few words to the following, not to mention that I will personally hold a promotion ceremony for the meritorious generals in this battle!" Chen Jingyun said this at the same time, and then said: "I gave Chen Yanjia an order, controlled Kyushu Island according to the predetermined plan, and then landed on Honshu Island, accepted the surrender of the local army, and resolutely suppressed if it encounters resistance!" ”

After these people went out, Chen Jingyun thought about it again and then called Yan Jing Kuang: "Send a message to that kid Huatian, and say that he is ready to prepare to go and say, 'Ben presides over the surrender ceremony!'" ”

Naturally, Chen Jingyun's purpose in this move was very clear, that is, to give Chen Huatian a great qualification and merit, to accept the surrender of the so-called 'Ben on behalf of China, so as to further increase his prestige and qualifications in the army and in the country.

After receiving Chen Jingyun's telegram, Chen Huatian, who was far away in Shenyang, took a special train into Korea on the same day and prepared to go to Pusan, where he was about to join up with the Chinese negotiating delegation and go to the "present negotiations, which are said to be negotiations, but in fact they are going to accept surrender."

On the 23rd, it was said that "Field Marshal Shunroku Hata announced the organization of this provisional cabinet, with the prime minister of the cabinet and commander of the Kwantung Army Front, Sugiyama Moto, as the minister of war, and the rest of the military and political dignitaries of the main peace faction holding important posts, and then Shunroku Hata immediately sent diplomats to actively negotiate with China in order to reach a formal peace agreement and end the war once and for all."

You must know that the final battle order jointly issued by Shunroku Hata and Gen Sugiyama two days ago was only a unilateral final battle order for the local army, and the navy and the Australian side of the army did not participate in it, and the main purpose of this was to make China give up the nuclear bombing of other cities in this country through this unilateral armistice.

After two days of chaos, Shunroku Hata and Motomo Sugiyama had already preliminarily integrated the opinions of the country, and even after two days of negotiations, they had the acquiescence of Marshal Terauchi Toshiichi, commander of the Australian Front, so that they could formally form a provisional cabinet to coordinate negotiations on the end of the war.

On the 24th, it was said that "the Karatsu Port of Kyushu, at this time, the Karatsu Port has completely turned into a super-large-scale material transit base, and countless transport ships from the country to transport materials docked here, and then lined up to unload all kinds of materials, with all kinds of shells and bullets needed for the war, as well as medical equipment, medicines, and a large number of food and other materials.

Although the Third Army has conquered many ports in the northern part of Kyushu Island in the past few days, due to the short period of time, it is not possible to say that those ports that have been captured can be used immediately, not to mention that the dock facilities have been damaged in large quantities during the war and need to be repaired.

In the past six months, first of all, China has laid a large number of mines along the southern coast of Honshu, especially the coastal areas of Kyushu Island, in order to blockade the maritime communications of the island, and then it has deployed a large number of mines along the coastal areas of Kyushu Island and the northern coastal areas of Shikoku on the island of Honshu in order to prevent China from landing.

When it came to the time when the final battle order was issued, it was said that the coast of Ben, especially the coast of Kyushu Island, was almost full of mines, and only the area off the coast of Karatsu was slightly better. If China wants to use other ports for large-scale transportation and replenishment of supplies, in addition to repairing port facilities, it is more important to first remove those mines, and at least clear a shipping channel that can be used for navigation.

In addition to the traditional touch mines, there are also magnetic mines, water pressure mines, and sound guide mines, basically many types of mines that appeared in World War II all appeared along the coast, a small part of which are traditional touch mines, but the largest part is magnetic water and water pressure and sound guide mines.

Since the landing, although the three minesweeping fleets sent by the Chinese Navy to Ben have successively dispatched thousands of mines, they are nothing at all for the number of tens of thousands of mines along the coast, and the minesweeping sea area is limited to the waters outside the port of Tangjin. So there is no way to do it for the time being.

At the same time, due to the large-scale and intensive bombardment of China and the United States, the railway traffic on the mainland was not completely paralyzed, but it was not running smoothly, which led to the extreme dependence of the landing troops on the land of Tangjin on the road transportation, and the number of car transportation was also limited, so that the Tangjin Port piled up a large number of materials.

When Shigemitsu Aoi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Interim Cabinet, arrived at the Port of Karatsu in a special car arranged by the Chinese side, he looked at the countless supplies piled up almost in the entire port city, and he really understood where Ben was defeated!

While the soldiers fought with rifles and a small number of bullets, the Chinese fought with countless tanks and planes, and shells and bullets were poured forward almost without money, destroying any enemy who stood in their way.

Chen Huatian, who had just arrived in Tangjin on a special air force plane from Seoul, North Korea, with a victor's smile on his face, led General Chen Yanjia, the commander of the Third Group Army, to meet with Chongguang Kui and his party.

After the two sides sat down, Chongguang Aoi spoke first: "In order to protect the safety of the empire's hundreds of millions of citizens, the empire has agreed in principle to the content of the advice proposed by your country!" ”

This is not too surprising, if I had not accepted the contents of the advice, then Shigemitsu Aoi would not have appeared here, and China would not have stopped its large-scale bombing and ground offensive against him.

Chen Huatian said with a smile: "Your country's political axe cares about the people of your country, so I am pleased." Your decision is bound to eliminate the misunderstanding between China and China, rebuild friendly exchanges between the Chinese and Chinese peoples, and lay a solid foundation for the prosperity of Asia. ”

Chen Huatian's words were grandiose, but his tone was with a tone that belonged to the victor, and even the smile on his face was full of pride.

Looking at Chen Huatian's face, Chongguang Kui and others secretly sighed in their hearts, there is such a young leader in China in the future, I am afraid that it will be able to be brilliant for at least 30 years or even longer, right?
