    Naha Port, which is not very open, is full of charred and ruined scenes.  Japanese ships that had been bombed, sunk, and burned lay in a mess in the harbor. High-powered tugboats and lifeboats flying Chinese naval flags were towing away and clearing them from blocking the waterway.  Beside the opened channels and docks, landing ships and transport ships came and went, unloading soldiers in summer combat uniforms and baggage and supplies.

    On the outskirts of the city, shells fell like black raindrops into the mud.  They range from 60mm mortar shells to 305mm barrier-breaking shells, and they are so densely packed that they are impossible to count.  Waterborne amphibious tanks, Army Type 31 tanks, half-track fire support vehicles, Hound wheeled armored vehicles, various self-propelled heavy artillery, multiple rocket launchers One by one, one by one, they are like wasps.  The Japanese army was very tenacious. They hid behind every building, in caves, in the woods, and on the river beaches. They gritted their teeth and launched a desperate charge. Even many Japanese immigrants were armed. Whenever they saw Chinese soldiers, they would  Grenades, screaming, want to die together.  However, the Japanese army has never fought such a battle made entirely of steel.  Except for the first few days, after the Japanese army, which was mixed with military and civilians, took advantage of cities and obstacles and suffered several moderate losses, the Ryukyu Campaign Command of the National Defense Force immediately changed its style of play and used tanks and various types of combat vehicles to cover and directly wipe out all  Visible obstacles.  Just like Zhuo Fan did in Alkarek, he directly flattened the barrel of the self-propelled howitzer, rushed within three to five hundred meters, and fired flatly

    Japanese buildings are not very strong to begin with. Most of them will be razed to the ground after three or five rounds of artillery fire.  But it should be said that the Japanese army is very tenacious and their fighting spirit has been praised even by many generals of the National Defense Forces.  But facing an old opponent who was armed to the teeth and whose firepower, tactics, and individual qualities were not weak, he was completely at a disadvantage.  Often as soon as they are exposed, they will be immediately covered and shot by various lightly armed weapons.  The proud night attack charge is more like committing suicide by hitting the muzzle of the gun.  More than 20,000 Japanese soldiers died in just a few days.

    Faced with this high-intensity, high-power modern steel warfare, Umezu Yoshijiro, who once clamored to destroy the landing force on the beach, only held on for seven days before leading the main force to flee to the mountainous area to the north, handing over Naha Port to his opponent.  Faced with the telegram asking for help, the Japanese navy, which was depleted of elites, was powerless and could only use the "Tokyo Express" to increase its troops on a small scale at night.  Not to mention that this method of increasing troops is limited, the destroyers and torpedo boats dispatched are basically meat buns that will never come back.

    "Dudu."

    A half-track command vehicle drove along the dilapidated streets, honking its horn wildly.  On both sides of the street, thousands of captured Japanese soldiers and Japanese under the guard of the National Guard were cleaning up the debris.  The Japanese soldiers who picked up guns were fanatical and brutal.  But once you are discouraged, throwing down the gun becomes the best free labor.  "You see, all the main city areas have been captured, and the current fighting is mainly concentrated in the suburbs. Especially in the Yuquan Cave and Shuri Castle areas, the resistance is still relatively strong." In the carriage, Liao Changfeng introduced to Chu Nan and Shen Honglie who had personally visited the island to inspect  War situation.

    "We have organized two small landings, the first at Nanjo. About two infantry divisions. Yesterday morning, the four divisions that set off from Ie Island also opened a gap on the Motobu Peninsula. This way we can head east from Nago Bay,  Cut across the Oura Bay and cut off the north-south connection of Oshima. If it can be done, it will not be a big problem to complete the entire clearing within three months." Ryukyu Island is not too big, but it is not too small.  The island has high mountains, dense forests, and numerous caves. It is possible to capture the city quickly, but it will take several months to clear the entire island.  Therefore, Liao Changfeng did not dare to boast.  Fortunately, the sea route has been opened and the troops have arrived on the island to establish a foothold. There is enough time to smooth out the entire island bit by bit.

    The vehicle turned around and just as it drove to Manhu Lake, a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of it.  Behind the soldiers were thousands of people kneeling on the ground and crying.  "Stop, what's going on over there?" The chaotic scene made Chu Nan, who came to inspect in person, shout to stop the armored vehicle.

    "It's a mass grave." After Liao Changfeng took the two of them out of the car and walked over, Chu Nan discovered that there was a huge mass grave that had been opened by the river ahead.  Beside the large pit, dozens of army doctors and reporters were wearing masks, examining the corpses and taking photos. The corpses were densely packed, at least several thousand in number, and most of them had been beheaded directly with knives.  The locals all knelt on the ground and cried loudly.  "The Japanese did it!" Liao Changfeng said angrily after handing two masks to Chu Nan and Shen Honglie: "We found out after we landed that Tokyo had issued a 'Jade Breaking Order', and it was personally operated by Umezu Yoshijiro. This is relatively small.  Yes, the mass graves in the suburbs are bigger. I heard from locals that at least 150,000 to 200,000 Ryukyu locals were massacred in the past two weeks."

    "These bastards!" Chu Nan cursed.

    After Japan invaded Ryukyu, it carried out organized massacres to clear out the locals many times. Now it has massacred nearly 200,000 people. It is not known how many will be left after the war is over.  "Chief of Staff, don't worry. We have established a local protection camp and asked them to help distinguish immigrants. These people hate Japan, so they are very willing to cooperate with us."

    Occupation is only the first step,How to grasp the occupied area and control it permanently, and use Ryukyu as an outpost for the navy to enter and exit the Pacific, is the key.  In order to achieve this goal, as soon as the war began, the General Staff formulated a detailed relocation plan, preparing to collect all Japanese prisoners of war and Japanese immigrants in Ryukyu, Nanyang, Micronesia and other places, and rush them back at an appropriate time  Japan, completely confine Japan to the mainland.  Therefore, this massacre actually contributed to the later de-Japanization operations in Ryukyu.

    After leaving the mass grave, Shen Honglie continued to introduce the situation: "There are currently about 40,000 Japanese prisoners of war and more than 190,000 immigrants of various types. Before landing, Umezu Yoshijiro took everything he could into the mountains, leaving only hundreds of thousands of immigrants.  and Ryukyu people. The weather here is hot, and there is a lack of food and medicine, and there have been several signs of epidemics. So we have had people clear Isena Island and prepare to gradually transfer prisoners of war and immigrants there."

    "How big is Izena Island, and how many people can it be detained?"

    "It's about fifteen square kilometers, so if we make a full budget, two hundred thousand won't be a problem."

    "Two hundred thousand?" Chu Nan frowned and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not enough. Marshall and Gilbert are basically over. I want to transfer all the prisoners of war and immigrants there to you. Saipan and Truk are nothing.  The resistance will definitely be over by early July at the latest, and there should be 20,000 to 30,000 people. Nanyang and India are too far away, and are not suitable for long-term detention. I estimate that your place must be able to accommodate at least about 500,000 people."

    Everyone likes to win a war, but the issue of prisoners of war is very troublesome.  There are nearly four million Soviet prisoners of war and immigrants in the country alone, and now Japan is added to the list. Not only is the food pressure huge, but safety is also a problem.  Therefore, the General Staff wanted to open an "island prison" to collect Japanese prisoners of war in a centralized manner to reduce security risks.  Hearing this, Liao Changfeng was also startled. Before the war was over, he had to deal with hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war and immigrants. This was not causing trouble for himself.  Fortunately, Chu Nan also wanted to hear their thoughts and did not give direct orders, giving him room for maneuver.  So Shen Honglie thought about it and said: "It's definitely not possible on Izena Island. I can only find a way on the big island. But I'm a little confused. Why are they being detained in a centralized manner?"

    "Let me tell you the truth, centralized detention is a decision made by the President, the Cabinet and the General Staff. Yesterday afternoon, the President has agreed to the plan to counterattack North Korea. Within three days at the latest, the Army will enter North Korea to fight. The Navy's 12th aircraft carrier battle group will go north to support the Korean Peninsula.  On the Yashima and Chiba Islands, the 21st aircraft carrier battle group attacked the Volcanic Islands, and the 23rd aircraft carrier battle group returned to Nanyang to cooperate with the Third Fleet. As a result, our general attack on Japan this year has been fully launched. Therefore, the president hopes that through centralized detention and screening, we can  First, train a group of people from Ryukyu locals and Japanese immigrants and hand them over to the Japanese National Society guerrillas."

    "National Socialist Guerrillas?" Shen Honglie and Liao Changfeng looked at each other, somewhat surprised by the term.

    Chu Nan said as he walked: "It is the armed force of the Japanese National Society. It is mainly composed of Japanese who oppose the Japanese Emperor, Koreans living in Japan and a small number of Ryukyus. The commander is Tokuda Kiichi, the chairman of the Japanese National Society. From the information provided by Yan Baohang and others  Look, resentment in Japan is growing, so the president hopes they can launch a grassroots liberation movement and pry open Japan's emperor system"

    "So, you are not planning to land in Japan?" Shen Honglie immediately caught the meaning.

    Chu Nan nodded: "The cost of landing on the mainland is too high, and it may also arouse the emotions of the Japanese people. That's why we have to attack the Volcanic Islands and Chiba Islands as soon as possible in order to completely block Japan. After the blockade, Japan will become  Pressure cooker, the president hopes to destroy external forces and food production through Ryukyu, Korea and Nanyang, and then through one to two years of continuous bombing and internal instigation, promote dissatisfaction at the lower levels and force the pressure cooker to explode itself. The president believes that the emperor is a symbol of Japan  , is the spirit! If we do not destroy the emperor system, Japanese militarism will resurgence. Only by truly abolishing the emperor system and allowing Japan to adopt a chaotic multi-party constitutional government can we better control this country. But precisely because the emperor is a symbol, we cannot  It is convenient to take action directly, but that will arouse hostility from all over Japan, so we must push, keep pushing, forcing ordinary Japanese people to have no way out and no way to survive, and promote a bottom-up movement of change."

    The two of them understood that Yang Qiu wanted to once again inspire the traditional Japanese spirit of 'the lower overcomes the upper'!

    "In addition to this matter, the president also hopes that we can train a group of Japanese volunteers from Japanese prisoners of war and overseas immigrants. Anyone who is willing to join the volunteer army can immigrate to Central Siberia as a family, and we will provide each household with 500 acres of cultivated land.  , grant corresponding immigration conditions and distribute production materials. In this way, on the one hand, it can solve the problem of disintegrating Japan, and on the other hand, it can also promote the independence movement in Central Siberia. The referendum east of the Yenisey River is basically ready, and after the start of the Sea of ??Okhotsk  , a voting process will be held. Immigrating a small number of Japanese and other populations to the Central Siberian region west of the Yenisey River will help achieve a balance among the Central Asian ethnic groups and ensure that?It is also in our interest to realize the post-war Eurasian barrier plan east of the Urals to the Yenisey River¡­.  "

    In Chu Nan's "presidential" speech, Yang Qiu's determination to use war to change the geopolitical landscape of Asia gradually became clear
