But what they waited for was not the cannons of the Federal Navy, but the bombs falling from the sky. Only then did the Japanese defenders know the specific content of the telegram. It turned out that the bombs were dropped from airplanes.
They are no longer B-1 or Goose level bombers, they are all launched from aircraft carriers.
The take-off carrier-based torpedo attack aircraft and the modified Eagle carrier-based ground attack aircraft, although these aircraft cannot carry heavy aerial bombs, they cannot use such large aircraft to bomb fixed fortifications and personnel buildings on land.
Guys, 50kg or 100kg of frying is enough to complete these tasks.
Especially the modified Eagle carrier-based ground attack aircraft. It only reduced its load capacity and part of its armor weight by 500 kilograms, but it did not reduce its firepower output. This black flying monster seemed to be able to spray fire all over its body.
Like fire, it can not only drop strings of bombs, but also use its unique body to shoot machine guns at the ground.
, people and buildings on the hillside are swept randomly. As long as it finds the moving target, a bunch of big guys will follow it in a few seconds. Four such aircraft are in the narrow valley of Amami Port.
Flying back and forth, it was like plowing a field, exploring all the buildings and suspicious objects in the harbor with bombs.
On the 1st, it only took the federal army one day to capture the two main ports of Naha and Amami in the Ryukyu Islands. Although the Japanese army still had some remnants on these two islands, as the federal army repaired some port facilities
, the waterway has been cleared, and more and more federal armies have begun to launch
The federal army began to land. After landing, the federal army did not rush into the nearby mountains and woods to clear out the remaining R troops. Instead, it began to build fortifications a few kilometers away from the port. Then it stretched a long line between the bunkers and the trenches.
A long barbed wire gradually separates the port from the land.
Although the federal army did not clear out the remaining Japanese defenders, as long as the federal army occupied the port, these remaining Japanese soldiers would not be able to get enough supplies. Over time, they would not be able to launch a counterattack, let alone launch a counterattack.
Not bad. Although the residents of these islands can provide some food for these Japanese remnants, this is not a long-term solution.
After repairing the fortifications, the federal engineering troops and their construction machinery began to land. They began to build an airstrip at a pre-planned location. The Federal Navy's 2nd aircraft carrier formation also stopped its offensive.
It just cruises between Amami Oshima and Kyushu Island, cutting off the sea passage between Japan and Ryukyu.[
The performance of Japan's navy and island-defending troops was very disappointing to Britain, the United States and other countries. Originally, they thought that with Japan's military strength, coupled with their equipment and technical assistance, they could at least allow Japan's navy and army to compete with the federal army.
Well. It only took one day for the federal navy to capture two major ports on the Ryukyu Islands, and it seemed that the federal army planned to stay in these two ports permanently.
Facing the dissatisfaction of the allies, Japan's "government" and the military have stated that Japan is determined to continue fighting with the South China Sea Federation. However, due to the huge gap in naval strength, Japan's military decided to shrink the defense line and move the battlefield to Japan.
When they come to the country, they are confident that they will defeat all invaders.
The United Kingdom and the United States carefully analyzed the gap between the Japanese navy and the federal navy, and had to admit that the decision made by the Japanese military department was correct. The country has many mountains and few flat lands, and the transportation is complicated. Although the Japanese navy has declined, but
rThe Japanese army has never suffered any heavy losses. Back then, they and the Tsarist Russian army were on the Liaodong Peninsula.
The fight was very heroic, and the numbers were sufficient to deal with the federal army. As long as r's army can defend r's homeland and hold back the federal army, it would be victory for Britain and the United States. In order to provide r's "government" and
With encouragement from the military, Britain and the United States each privately issued interest-rate loans of US$100 million to Japan's "government."
They originally received a beating, but in exchange for US$100 million in aid, the Japanese "government" and the military immediately came out of the haze of failure. The steady support of the world's two major powers allowed them to recover.
Some sense was lost again. Just as the federal army was carrying out construction projects in Naha and Amami Port, the Japanese army also began intense mobilization and deployment.
r's domestic standing army had a maximum of 10 divisions, of which 1-6 were old elite divisions. During the Russo-Japanese War, four more divisions were added. However, with the decline of r's economy,
In addition, with the withdrawal of troops from Liaodong, two of the divisions were abolished. Now, our military headquarters has begun to expand its troops again and plans to restore the standing divisions to the original 10.
Japan's divisions are relatively large in size. The number of people in a standing A division is about 24,000 to 28,000, which is similar to the establishment of a federal army division. There are usually two brigades under the division, each with about 7,700 people.
The brigade has two infantry regiments. In addition, the division has 1,400 cavalry regiments and 2,500 artillery regiments.
There are 1,500 engineers, 2,800 baggage troops, 650 communications teams, 500 health corps, and 150 field hospitals. The fully-staffed standing A division has about 7,500 horses and 15,000 rifles.
150 cannons, 290 light machine guns, 50 heavy machine guns, 16 mountain guns, and 36 field guns.
All in all, Japan's Army is the only country's regular army that has fought against the Federal Army. When the multinational fleets jointly attacked Taiwan Island, Japan's Sixth Division successfully landed on Taiwan Island and fought a battle with the Federation Army.
A real battle. Although the federal army successfully prevented the Sixth Division's attack, it was not the federal army that
How clever the tactics of the army were, and it was not because of how powerful the federal army's combat effectiveness was, but because it was a landing operation at that time, most of the troops of the Sixth Division were at sea, and the troops ashore could not be deployed due to terrain reasons, so they were captured by the federal army.
The army blocked the attack outside the mountain pass, and finally relied on the help of the federal navy to completely annihilate the division.
The Sixth Division was also called the Kumamoto Division. At that time, it was considered to be the most powerful division among the six standing divisions. Among the remaining divisions, the First Division, Tokyo Division, and the
The Second Division, Sendai Division, and the Fifth Division, Hiroshima Division, are also the ace divisions in Japan's army, and the remaining
The 3rd Division Nagoya Division, the 4th Division Osaka Division, the 7th Division Asahikawa Division, the 8th Division Hirosaki Division and the newly formed 9th Division Kanazawa Division, 10th Division Himeji Division
Although the regiments are also standing divisions, in terms of performance and reputation, they are not as good as the divisions mentioned above.
In order to respond to possible attacks by the federal army, the Japanese government established a wartime base camp. This base camp was established in accordance with the "Wartime Base Camp Regulations" promulgated by the emperor in 1893 as a highest wartime command organization directly under the emperor. In the base camp
In the meeting, the emperor, the chief of staff and deputy chiefs, the first minister of the General Staff Headquarters and the chief of the operations section, the first minister of the Military Command and the chief of the operations section are the main components. The minister of the navy and the minister of war can only attend the meeting as a non-voting witness and have no right to speak.
The newly established base camp immediately issued a mobilization order, announcing that Japan had entered a wartime state. All strategic materials must be uniformly deployed by the base camp, and the factory's production also shifted to wartime mode, mainly producing military products. In addition,
In addition, the base camp also organized an organization called the Volunteer Fleet. This organization does not fight against the enemy navy as its name describes, but it is a kind of intelligence.
Or the early warning system. To put it simply, it is to organize and manage all the fishing boats along Japan's coast, and then spread them out according to different sea areas to act as the base camp's eyesight. When the federal navy fleet is discovered, you can choose to escape and report back.
, even if it cannot run back, it can still use its disappearance to remind our military that there must be federal fleet activities in the sea area where it or they disappeared.
Since r is a pure island country, no matter how large its army is, it cannot defend every port. It can only defend some key areas, such as the Tokyo area, Osaka area, Nagasaki area, Nagoya area, etc.
, we can only leave it to fate. But fortunately, most of the seaside terrain in Japan is relatively steep and full of rocks. There are not many flat beaches that can be used for landing, so in terms of defense, it is not everywhere.
