Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning of April 9, Okinawa was completely silent. After a day of intense training, all the PLA soldiers, except those on duty, had fallen asleep.

    Although China and Japan are currently at war, all the commanders and soldiers of the 31st and 32nd Army of the 3rd Okinawa Field Army who are preparing to attack the Japanese mainland are busy but not chaotic, and the preparations are done in an intense and orderly manner.

    In addition to undertaking part of the mission of landing on the Japanese mainland, Sanye also undertook the combat mission of landing on the Philippine Islands in Southeast Asia. Therefore, the person responsible for the frontline command of the landing on the Japanese mainland was Hu Tiantao, who had been promoted to deputy commander of the Third Field Army.

    Hu Tiantao personally landed on Okinawa as early as mid-January, and always insisted on being on the front line of training for the three night commanders, especially the joint training of the Marine Corps, which Hu Tiantao caught the most.

    Hu Tiantao also learned a lot of advanced military concepts from Xunbo when he was in the Red Tenth Army. Later, he stayed in the inner corps of the Red Third Front Army. Under the command of Su Yu, he repeatedly made surprise troops and won extraordinary battles. He was definitely both wise and brave.  senior general of our army.  He has grown very fast in these years. By 1944, he had been promoted from Chief of Staff of Sanye to Deputy Commander of Sanye.

    This time Su Yu sent him to Okinawa to organize and command the landing operations on Japanese soil, which can be regarded as the right person.  Although it was late at night and most of the soldiers had fallen asleep, the frontline command post of Hu Tiantao and Sanye's Japanese landing operations was still brightly lit. Hu Tiantao was standing in front of the huge military sand table in the Pacific region, deep in thought.

    Hu Tiantao knew that today, a shocking sea battle would take place in the waters of Okinawa. His troops had become a huge bait, waiting for the little Japanese navy and army to come and take the bait.

    A week ago, Hu Tiantao received a call from Commander-in-Chief Xun personally. On the phone, Commander-in-Chief Xun told him that he needed his troops to do a good job of decoy work and cooperate with the People's Liberation Army Navy to stage a big show.

    As early as half a month ago, Japanese reconnaissance aircraft had stepped up their reconnaissance of the Ryukyu Islands, especially Okinawa. However, under the command of superiors, the Okinawa Air Force only adopted a conservative response and expulsion policy, and did not show its ability to  great power.

    Although Hu Tiantao could not fully understand the intentions of his superiors at that time, Hu Tiantao, who had fought countless battles with Xunbo and Su Yu, was still sensitive to the fact that this time, Xunbo, the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army's war against Japan, must be setting up another plan.  A shocking situation, waiting for the Japanese to come and be fooled.

    This made Hu Tiantao extremely excited. Over the years, everyone in the San Ye family has been extremely itchy. Since the end of the Songhu Battle in the autumn of 1937, the San Ye family has not had the chance to fight a battle.

    In 1942, we saw the emergence of the First Field, Second Field, Fifth Field, Sixth Field and the Taihang Corps. They suddenly demonstrated their powerful military strength and annihilated them in Burma, Northeast China, Outer Mongolia, Siberia, and the Middle East in one fell swoop.  The Japanese army has more than one million people. With such an enviable record, it was not the Sanye's turn to send a single soldier.

    This made all the commanders and fighters in Sanye very jealous. Many people couldn't help complaining, including the Chief of General Staff. After arranging today's battle situation, why didn't they think of letting their old troops and subordinates  Share some soup and drink some soup.

    "Of course, the commanders and soldiers just complained and complained, but they didn't dare to really have opinions on General Xun. General Xun was planning the overall situation, so there was no way he could care about the feelings of a unit.  Therefore, everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the next war to begin.

    By the end of 1944, the officers and soldiers of the Third Field Army, who had been strengthening their training in landing operations over the years, received relatively clear combat orders. The Third Field Army, together with other brother units, would jointly assume the mission of landing on the Japanese mainland and the Southeast Asian Islands. This would allow  Everyone in Sanye was extremely happy. Everyone was really worried that Japan would surrender before their troops could enter the battlefield in time.

    Starting from the beginning of 1945, the main forces of the 31st and 32nd Army began to move from Taiwan to Okinawa, and joined the 311th and 312th Divisions originally guarding Okinawa, and began to make the final move to attack the Japanese mainland.  Prepare.

    Now, it is early April, and the Indo-China Peninsula Campaign has ended. The Japanese army is left with more than three million troops entrenched in the Southeast Asian archipelago and Japan. These troops strategically despise the enemy.

    Nearly 200,000 people from Sanye's 31st and 32nd Army Groups and more than 60,000 People's Liberation Army Marines who had landed in Okinawa earlier began intense joint training on Okinawa and nearby islands since the beginning of 2005.  The training projects became more and more complex and the training difficulty became more and more difficult. By the beginning of April, all training subjects had been completed and the soldiers were ready to land in Japan.

    But just seven days ago, President Xun¡¯s phone call let Hu Tiantao know that his unit was being targeted by the Japanese.?Has become a target in the eyes of the Japanese. The Japanese Navy is organizing an unprecedented scale landing operation on Okinawa. At the same time, it will concentrate six aircraft carriers and two battleships of the Japanese Navy and dozens of large sea ships and submarines to escort a large number of Japanese Navy landing ships.  and transport ships, mobilized more than 400,000 Japanese troops from the Southeast Asian archipelago at one time, and carried out landing operations on Okinawa, China's Ryukyu Islands. After obtaining this strategic fulcrum between Southeast Asia and the Japanese mainland, Japan's troops stationed in Southeast Asia were gradually evacuated to strengthen the Japanese mainland.  defense.

    When Hu Tiantao first heard the news, he was really shocked. People like him had been targeting Japanese enemies all day long. Unexpectedly, he became a target in their eyes. This made Hu Tiantao feel really unhappy. However,  Of course Hu Tiantao knew that the search for the Commander-in-Chief would not interfere with the command of the troops casually. This time he personally called himself, there must be a deeper meaning. Therefore, he felt relieved. The superiors had already set their sights on little Japan. How could he let him  Even if Japan's plan succeeds, you'd better listen to Mr. Xun's clever advice.

    Sure enough, in the next conversation with Hu Tiantao, Xunbo learned in detail about the current specific deployment and preparations of the Okinawa People's Liberation Army Sanye and the Marine Corps. Finally, Xunbo was going to use the nearly 300,000-strong force in Okinawa to do the attack.  Bait, attract the main Japanese naval forces to the waters around Okinawa, and then our navy and air force will annihilate the plan of the main Japanese naval forces in one fell swoop.

    At the same time, Xunbo explained the details of the layout to Hu Tiantao in detail, emphasized some points of attention, and finally ended the call.

    After receiving the call from Xunbo, Hu Tiantao was naturally very excited. Immediately, Commander Su Yu also called and communicated with Hu Tiantao the details of the bait operation.

    In fact, the core of this decoy operation is to let the Japanese army use refueling tactics to annihilate a large number of Japanese navy and army forces near Okinawa.  This will further clear the way for the People's Liberation Army to land in Japan and Southeast Asia.

    Therefore, a few days ago, Hu Tiantao began to arrange the troops to enter a situation of internal tightness and external looseness. On the one hand, he pretended to be normal training of the troops, and on the other hand, he began to arrange the anti-landing operation plan for Okinawa.

    According to the instructions from their superiors, the troops must actively resist and make concessions in the first three days. While dealing a huge blow to the Japanese army, they must also give up the landing site to the Japanese army so that the Japanese army can complete two to three waves of more than 400,000 people.  After the landing plan of the army, our powerful navy and air force will suddenly exert force to annihilate in one fell swoop the main force of the Japanese navy that was covering the Japanese landing operations. Then, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops dispatched to the south to carry out the landing operations will be caught in the urn.  Force them to surrender or annihilate them on the spot.

    Three days ago, after receiving the official combat mission from his superiors, Hu Tiantao immediately began to make more detailed pre-war arrangements and also started pre-war mobilization. When the three field commanders heard that Little Japan was about to attack their doorsteps, everyone became excited.  He wanted to devour the Japanese devils in one bite, but Hu Tiantao was very patient. The senior commanders of Sanye howled like wild wolves. It took a long time for everyone to deeply understand the superiors' combat intentions, and finally saw them one by one.  Han excitedly went down to assign specific tasks to his subordinates. It seemed that after being influenced by his superiors, a fierce general turned into a cunning fox.

    On the night of April 9th, on the battleship Yamato, Yamamoto Isoroku, who personally directed the Okinawa landing and naval battle, also stayed up all night.

    Although Yamamoto Isoroku carefully planned this Okinawa landing operation, for this purpose, almost all the power of the current Japanese navy was used, and the main force of the precarious Japanese Southern Expeditionary Army was gathered in the northern port of the Philippines. The first wave of hundreds of thousands of land troops  It has been shipped through landing ships, various transport ships and even merchant ships. This group of people will arrive in Okinawa in the early morning of the 9th. The second wave of hundreds of thousands of troops is also setting sail and is expected to arrive after the third day. The third wave of troops  , is being shipped and is expected to arrive in six days.  Although a total of more than 400,000 troops were organized for the Okinawa landing, Yamamoto Isoroku still cannot believe that his army can successfully implement the Okinawa landing and occupy Okinawa.

    Yes, although I have organized six large aircraft carriers, two battleships and dozens of large surface ships and submarines to the ocean near Okinawa, preparing to hunt down the aircraft carrier formation that the Chinese Navy has arrived for reinforcements, at the same time, according to reconnaissance, China is currently in three  , The only ones that can reach the Okinawa waters within four days are the two aircraft carrier formations of the Taiwan Navy Fleet. Several other aircraft carrier formations of the Chinese Navy are either concentrated in the Malay Peninsula and are dealing with the Japanese army in order to cooperate with this Okinawa operation plan.  A feint attack on the Malay Peninsula was launched on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.  Either prepare to cooperate with the People's Liberation Army's plan to land on the Japanese mainland in places such as Sakhalin Island and the Korean Peninsula.

    However, Yamamoto Isoroku knew clearly that this Okinawa landing operation was completely within the scope of the air force strike in Taiwan and East China.In addition, China's military deployment has always been elusive. Even if the reconnaissance report clearly points out the distribution of Chinese aircraft carrier formations, Yamamoto Isoroku does not have much confidence in this.

    If the Chinese army can gather more than three aircraft carrier formations to lay siege to the Japanese Navy, it will be difficult for the Japanese Navy to escape the fate of annihilation. The only thing on its hands that may pose a threat to the Chinese Navy is the large-scale secret construction and deployment of the navy over the years.  If this secret force can play a certain role, although it cannot fundamentally reverse the situation of the war, it can still cause a certain amount of trauma to the Chinese Navy, then the suicide operation organized by myself can barely  It was somewhat fruitful.
