Chapter 886 Leave no one behind

Knowing that the war in the Ryukyu Islands has fallen into a disadvantage, the island government can't sit still.

The Ryukyu Islands are very close to the mainland of the island country, and they can also pose a greater threat to the entire East Asia, which is something the island country does not want to see.

What's even more terrible is that currently, the island country is clearly at a disadvantage in terms of air force.

If the Ryukyu Islands are occupied, the coastal cities in the southern part of the island country may be bombed at any time as long as Australasia sets up a large air base in the Ryukyu Islands.

And now the only one that can support the Ryukyu Islands is the navy that is evenly matched with Australasia.

Of course, the so-called equal power only exists in the imagination of the island government. After the last unsuccessful sneak attack on the Hawaiian port, the casualties of the island nation's navy were greater than those of the Australasian navy.

Because of the sudden attack, the Australasian army caused a large number of casualties to the island armies on the flanks in a short period of time.

If you know the history of the Ryukyu Islands, there were once three countries on this island, which correspond to the three larger islands in the Ryukyu Islands.

The second step is to collect some food supplies from Naha City and make them into food for transportation to the front line.

In order not to attract the attention of the island army, the Australasian soldiers chose to advance on foot when they were relatively close to the island army.

Because of this, Australasian soldiers can skillfully drive the island country's trucks after a short period of adaptation.

The conditions proposed by Australasia were naturally welcomed and "loyal" by the Ryukyu people.

Most of the division's troops surrounded Naha on three sides. Among them, the one responsible for the main attack was the infantry regiment supported by the Class A Division.

At least the current island nation's military can get infinitely close to Australasia's defensive positions, and can even threaten the lives of soldiers in the positions.

Thanks to the stability of Naha, the Australasian army can safely resist the attack of the island country's army.

If the Ryukyu Islands fall, I would like to see if their navy can stop the Australasian army from the coastline. "

After a long period of fighting, the island nation's army in Naha has been reduced to less than 15,000 people, or only about 14,000 people to be precise.

In addition to competing for material reserves, the two sides are also competing for their enthusiasm for war and their military strength.

Because he had fought a war with the Island Country's C Division, Odalasia naturally understood the true combat effectiveness of the Island Country's C Division.

The quantity of ammunition, the number of soldiers and the enthusiasm for war are three factors. Once any one of these factors falls into a disadvantage, it means that this side will be at a disadvantage in the entire war.

More than an hour after the war at the port ended, more than 3,000 Australasian soldiers finally successfully arrived near Naha.

Coupled with the panic and untimely response of the island nation's military, hundreds of island nation soldiers had already lost their lives by the time they reacted.

Before the encirclement was implemented, the paratroopers had contacted the Naha army to ensure that the encirclement could be implemented smoothly.

And every charge by the island nation's army can also cause considerable casualties to the Australasian army.

Even in later generations, Ryukyu still has a lot of independenceists who want to be independent from the rule of the island country. Although the Ryukyu people do not have much influence on the rule of the island country, once the island country loses its rule over Naha, the Ryukyu people will never miss or even help the island country.

When the news came back to the Ryukyu Islands, the commander of the Class A Division, Murai Noo, had an angry look on his face and vented his anger to his subordinates: "Damn the Navy, at a critical moment of national survival, they actually only care about for one's own benefit.

What's more, there are nearly 100,000 troops stationed on the island. In order to transport the supplies of these 100,000 troops, trucks are indispensable.

They were not even qualified to get close to the Australasian defensive positions, and their charge was only easily massacred.

The long and narrow main island of the Ryukyu Islands is only about 100 kilometers from south to north. The distance between the port and Naha is only 55 kilometers. As long as a certain number of trucks are used, it actually only takes more than an hour to arrive.

If the moment of defeat really comes, division commanders like Murai Noo may have no choice but to commit seppuku as an apology.

Not to mention, the gap in combat effectiveness between Type A divisions and Type C divisions is huge. With the entire C Division's 20,000 troops, it would be difficult to pose a threat to Australasia's defensive positions in a frontal attack.

Anger is anger, and Murai Noo also knows that the army on the Ryukyu Islands is currently completely isolated and helpless.

Although it is already facing war, even a failed country may perish. But for the contradiction between the island country's army and navy, war does not seem to be that important.

Of course, the premise is that the Ryukyu people must support Australasia to win the island nation. Only on the basis of victory in the war will Australasia support Ryukyu independence.

You must know that the ports of the Ryukyu Islands are ports used by both military and civilians. Before being occupied, a large number of civilian ships would dock every day.

Therefore, after occupying Naha, the Australasian officers found some more prestigious people among the Ryukyu people and expressed their willingness to make Ryukyu independent.

When Murai Noo decided to give it a go, more than 3,000 Australasian troops in the northern part of the Ryukyu Islands, after temporary repairs, set off toward Naha in the south.

However, the water inside the island country is obviously much deeper than that in Australasia, and the conflict between the army and the navy is far more intense than imagined.

Just as the island nation's army launched an attack on the defensive positions in Australasia, the paratrooper force of more than 3,000 people on the other side finally completed the final outflank.

The Pacific Fleet currently has 7 aircraft carriers, 4 super dreadnoughts, 3 dreadnoughts, 5 battlecruisers, 6 heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers, 43 destroyers and 217 submarines. The size of the fleet is at the same level as that of the island nation's navy. same level.

As a senior officer in the army, Lieutenant General Murai Noo knew what kind of sensation it would bring to the country if he were captured by the Australasians.

As expected, when facing the attack of the Australasian army, the troops of the C Division on the two flanks seemed a little panicked.

Naha is not only the largest city in the Ryukyu Islands, but also the largest weapons and equipment storage warehouse and food material storage base in the Ryukyu Islands.

If the firepower in the air was not too powerful, and the overall quality of the Australasian soldiers exceeded those of the island countries, I am afraid that the island army would have regained the advantage in this offensive and defensive battle.

Accompanied by several gunshots from obviously different directions, the island nation's army instantly fell into chaos.

After the three countries were unified, the relatively famous Ryukyu Kingdom was born. However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu Islands were invaded by island countries and eventually came to a situation of actual control.

After a brief consideration, the Australasian army targeted the island country's C Division on the east and west flanks.

At least after Australasia occupied Naha, the order in Naha was still very stable, and these Ryukyuan people had no intention of causing chaos.

Judging from the current attack of the islanders, it is absolutely impossible for them to abandon the city of Naha.

The time came to around 10 o'clock, and the two sides were still fighting fiercely.

The second is to prepare logistics for the frontline troops. There is a large weapons warehouse in Naha, and many of the weapons and equipment in it can also be used in Australasia. This is good news.

It seems that most of the residents of Naha have no intention of resisting the rule of the Australasian army.

Without Naha, the tens of thousands of island troops on the Ryukyu Islands would have no place to find so many supplies.

As the side encircling and outflanking, the Australasian army naturally discovered the most powerful of the three armies of the island nation.

Australasia can rely on its defensive advantages and the air force in the air to cause a large number of casualties to the island country's army.

But after the infantry regiment arrived, the situation changed slightly.

In other words, if Naha cannot be regained, these island armies will not only face an ammunition crisis, but also a food crisis, starving to fight the Australasian army.

As long as the C divisions on the left and right flanks can be quickly defeated, no matter how powerful the infantry regiment in the center is, it can only be flanked by the Australasian troops on both sides.

These ships will bring a large amount of supplies to the Ryukyu Islands. If these supplies are to be transported to various parts of the island, trucks are naturally indispensable.

At a meeting within the island nation's government, the island nation's navy formally rejected the government's resolution for the navy to support the Ryukyu Islands Army, and stated that it was absolutely impossible for the navy to put itself at risk for the sake of the army.

The total number of trucks at the port and the island country's military was barely in the hundreds, which was enough to quickly move more than 3,000 Australasian soldiers.

If they can't give it a final try, I'm afraid all the island armies on the archipelago will face the end of being wiped out or captured.

After receiving a reply from the Australasian army in Naha, the operation here officially began.

However, the island country's army is fighting fiercely with Naha's Australasian army, and presumably the whereabouts of this Australasian army will not be discovered.

So far, the island nation's navy has a total of 9 battleships, 7 aircraft carriers, 16 heavy cruisers, 18 light cruisers, 106 destroyers, 72 submarines, and a total naval density of 1.07 million.

Of course, because of the huge territory of Australasia, the fleet is naturally divided into the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Of course, in return, Australasia will not interfere in any affairs of independent Ryukyu, which will be an independent country with full sovereignty.

However, judging from the current situation on the battlefield, the Australasian army is not in a hurry. What is anxious is the talents of the island nation.

Snapped! Bang bang!

Since Naha was successfully attacked, the island nation's army has never approached the city of Naha.

It was not until 1872 that the island country reduced the Ryukyu Kingdom to the Ryukyu Domain through the so-called emperor's personal rule, officially confirming Ryukyu's subordinate status to the island country.

Because they are on foot, although there is a greater chance that they will not be discovered by the island country's army, it also means that it will take longer to complete the siege.

In 1879, the government of the island country announced that the Ryukyu Domain would be abolished and changed into prefectures, and the Ryukyu Domain would be changed to Okinawa Prefecture, completely completing the occupation of the Ryukyu Islands.

But at this time, the Ryukyu Kingdom had not yet perished, and this area was still called the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Why does Australasia have no interest in Ryukyu? Of course it is a terrifying creature called a river crab.

The truck technology of the island country originally came from Europe and the United States. Although it has developed some of its own characteristics, it is still basically the same.

As a result, the Army of the Ryukyu Islands has completely lost any channel to obtain support.

On the Australasian side, there are a total of 12 battleships, 10 aircraft carriers, 6 battlecruisers, 77 destroyers, 8 heavy cruisers, 22 light cruisers and 249 submarines, with a total naval density of 1.28 million.

For some special reasons, Australasia has no interest in the Ryukyu Islands.

But it is obvious that it has only been more than 50 years since the Ryukyu Islands were destroyed, and many Ryukyu people still have great feelings for the Ryukyu Kingdom.

After seeing the situation clearly, the more than 3,000 paratroopers supporting them chose to circle from the east to the rear of the island country's army and encircle them.

What the island army did not expect was that they were fanatical about the government and the emperor, and the Australasian army had the same fanaticism about Arthur.

As for Naha, only a few hundred people need to be left behind. First, it is to protect the order of the city and prevent problems within the city when the army is out fighting.

The current situation is that the interior of Naha has been occupied by Australasia, and a large number of island troops are attacking in the east and south.

Coupled with the pension policy and military merit system established by Arthur, the island country's army for the first time saw an army more terrifying than its own, and saw warriors who were more fearless and fearless of death.

The two flanks each have about 5,000 troops, but compared to the infantry regiment of the Class A division in the middle, the gap in combat effectiveness is a bit too huge.

Naturally, I don’t have much favorable impressions of the island nation as an invader.

The one responsible for fighting the war with the island nation's navy is naturally the larger Pacific Fleet.

These island country trucks are still very loud when driving. If they are discovered by island country soldiers, it means that the encirclement operation has failed.

So the question is, where do you get the truck?

That was of course obtained from the ports and the island's military.

As for now, both sides have entered into a delicate balance.

Seeing the poor performance of the soldiers from the island countries on both sides, the commander on the Australasian side smiled and gave his troops an order for a full charge.

Looking at the warriors rushing forward fearlessly around him, the Australasian commander did not forget to add: "According to your Majesty's order, not a single one of these island soldiers will be left behind!"
