Under a message from the Sichuan government, the North China Military Region of the Eighth Route Army dispatched three columns of 150,000 troops to cross the river and approach Jinling City. The government even dispatched 500,000 troops to attack Jinling;
The millions of puppet troops of Wang's puppet government surrendered one after another under the pressure of the northern and southern armies. Few of them were willing to sacrifice their lives for Wang Ni and others.
Millions of puppet troops fell apart, and the traitor regime was defeated. Many puppet troops began to turn against the enemy. Their entire regiments and entire battalions surrendered to the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang Army. Some even turned their guns and arrested and brought to justice those prominent traitors. .
Wang Zhaoming, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fuhai and others were all arrested and brought to justice. All officers above the brigade commander of the puppet army were on the list to be liquidated. They were in panic all day long, looking for connections and backers everywhere, hoping to escape justice.
In just one week, the million-strong troops of the Jinling Puppet Government disappeared. The main force of the Kuomintang Army took over Jinling City. The Eighth Route Army withdrew to the defense zone north of the river in accordance with the agreement. Both sides were more restrained in order to avoid war.
The North China Military Region dispatched troops this time and annihilated more than 270,000 puppet troops, including 250,000 prisoners, and captured thousands of traitors, big and small.
The Kuomintang army annihilated more than 500,000 puppet troops, including 490,000 prisoners, and encountered almost no decent resistance. Zhong Caibai was worried.
Next, a special court was established in Jinling City attended by representatives from Yingjiang, Shuzhong and Yanzhou. A total of more than 50,000 big and small traitors were publicly tried. More than 100,000 people from all walks of life and people watched the trial. There were huge crowds of people and loud gongs and drums. sky.
The special court sentenced more than 20,000 traitors including Wang Zhaoming to death, and the others were sentenced to more than ten years in prison. This won the strong support of the people across the country. China became a sea of joy, even happier than driving away the Japanese.
Zhong Cai found that he had almost dug a big hole for himself, almost losing the reputation he had regained from the alliance, and even hating Wang Zhaoming;
Now Lao Wang was miserable. He was taken back to the Tsing Yi Club by Yu Nong himself and drank tea for a few days. When he was released, he no longer looked like a human being. He had been subjected to almost all the torture instruments in the Qing Yi Club. It was useless to explain. It was useless. People listen.
"Yunong, for the sake of Huangpu's love, please give me a good time!"
Yu Nong glanced at him with disgust, and then said coldly:
"Huangpu has a rough relationship with you. It's not that your brothers are making things difficult for you, it's that you are too shrewd and scheme against people you shouldn't!
In addition, No. 76 owes a lot of blood debt to the brothers of the Tsing Yi Club, and it can only fall on you, so brothers, you know the focus.
Okay, you have enjoyed what you should enjoy. That's it for today. I'm tired too. I want to be a good person in the next life. "
After Yunong finished speaking, he waved his hand in disgust and sent someone to send him away.
Three days later, Wang Zhaoming and other traitors were publicly executed. When the gunshots were fired, relief smiles appeared on their faces. It seemed that they had suffered a lot before they were executed.
After solving the problem of traitors, the expeditionary force launched a general attack on the Ryukyu Islands.
The Ryukyu Islands are the last line of defense in the footbath chicken's absolute defense circle, and beyond that is the Japanese homeland.
After Japan withdrew its millions of main troops from China, its military strength was very sufficient, so it continued to increase troops to the Ryukyu Islands and established the 32nd Army. The commander was Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru;
In another time and space, although the total strength of the Japanese was as high as 90,000, 39,000 of them were Ryukyu Labor Corps, or to put it simply, they were militias.
This time and space are different. The Japanese have withdrawn millions of troops from China. Therefore, the elite troops of the Japanese are deployed on the Ryukyu Islands, including the 3rd Division, the main force of the 11th Army, and the 15th Division stationed in Jinling. As well as the 24th Division, 62nd Division, 44th Independent Mixed Brigade, 27th Tank Regiment and other units of the original Ryukyu Garrison, the total number of troops exceeds 100,000.
The focus of the Japanese defense in the Ryukyu Islands was the Shuri Defense Line across the entire island, which was built on a series of steep ridges and cliffs north of Shuri.
The Shuri Defense Line is the most important link in the Okinawa defense system. Ushijima knew that the tidal flats could not be defended under the powerful naval and air force firepower of the coalition forces, so their main forces were deployed on the Shuri Defense Line to fight with the coalition forces. Fight positional warfare and tunnel warfare.
Ushijima placed the most elite 3rd Division on the front of the defense line. They dug deep trenches and tunnels on hillsides, ridges, and cliffs, equipped with crossfire, to block the coalition's attack;
Another elite 15th Division was deployed in the rear defense of the Shuri theater.
The 62nd Division is responsible for defending the beach positions and the northern front, the 44th Independent Brigade is responsible for defending the southern front, and the 24th Division is the battle reserve;
In order to resist the superiority of the coalition's navy and air force, they hollowed out almost all the mountain ridges on the island. Trenches and fortifications were built densely, with three floors inside and three floors outside. All ammunition and supplies were hidden in the caves, so there was no need to worry about being blown up. They turned the entire Ryukyu Islands into a giant hedgehog.
Ushijima clamored that if the Chinese Expeditionary Force dared to land on the Ryukyu Islands, 200,000 lives would be sacrificed.
The troops that the expeditionary force participated in the Ryukyu Campaign included the New 7th Division of the New Second Army, the Second Division of the Independence Army that had just arrived from Luzon to the Obitohara Islands, the First Brigade of the Marine Corps, and the First Army of the National Salvation Army, led by the New Second Army. Army Commander Yan Haoyu served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.
The total strength is about 80,000, and there is also the Eagle Navy 51 Special Mixed Formation to cooperate with the landing operations;
All the remaining ships of Takumi's combined fleet also went into battle. In addition, they also launched the "Kikusui Special Attack" that caused Takajiang a headache, which is also the infamous Kamikaze.
Before launching the landing operation, the navies of both sides fought for nearly a month of desperate struggle for sea control in the Ryukyu waters. This is why the landing operation has been delayed until now.
The Japanese kamikaze special attack operations caused the Takajiang Navy to suffer a lot. During this period, the Japanese launched a total of 10 "Kikusui Special Attacks";
A total of 26 ships were sunk and 225 were damaged in the kamikaze suicide attacks.
This suicide attack brought huge casualties to the Taika Navy. A total of 956 people died in the kamikaze attack, 2,650 people were injured, and 897 people were missing.
Of course, the Japanese suffered greater losses. Their combined fleet ships were almost completely lost, and more than 3,000 aircraft were shot down, which depleted the strength of the Japanese Navy.
After gaining air and sea control over the Ryukyu Islands, the landing battle on the Ryukyu Islands officially began, and it was the Chinese Expeditionary Force's turn.
Chuxiong and the expeditionary force headquarters also moved to the Ogasawara Islands to personally command this crucial battle. General Stevie was responsible for coordinating the Eagle Navy to provide fire support.
On January 1, when the New Year's bell rang, more than 300 coalition bombers flew over the Ryukyu Islands. Because of Chu Xiong's perspective, their bombing focused on the Japanese's Shuri defense line. The aerial bomb used was a Thousand pounds of heavy explosive bombs.
Thousands of aerial bombs rained down on the Japanese defense line, and the huge explosion almost flattened the fortifications on the mountain ridge;
The huge shock wave generated by the explosion caused huge damage to the Japanese hiding in the trenches, and the defenders suffered heavy losses. They finally tasted the absolute firepower of Eagle Sauce.
