When Niu Daoman realized the Qiong Army's plan, he immediately understood his situation. The Qiong Army obviously did not intend to continue attacking his defensive area. In this way, their solid defense line became a decoration. In this concentration camp surrounded by barbed wire, the role he and his troops could play was to restrain a group of Qiong Army's troops, and these troops were obviously not something that needed to be cared too much for the Republic of China, which had a large number of troops.

It can be said that if he could not find a way to break through this shackle made of barbed wire, then the existence of his troops would be meaningless. There is no doubt that both him and the Japanese base camp realized this problem, so they urged Nishima Manta to launch an attack as soon as possible, and Nishima Manta accepted these orders under the instigation of his assistant Changyong, preparing to launch an attack on the defensive areas of the Qiong Army that had not yet set up a minefield in the minefield at night.

However, even the raid from Niushima at night still failed to pose a major threat to the Qiong Army's defense line. The role of the small caliber and small number of artillery in front of the endless barbed wire defense line of the Qiong Army can only be said to be a drop in the bucket, and it was completely unable to provide any effective fire support for the Japanese infantry, let alone clearing a corridor that can pass through for the infantry.

In the end, Niudaoman's raid stopped in front of the Qiong Army's barbed wire. Although breakthroughs had been made in many places, it was only one of two barbed wire. In just one night, the casualties suffered by the Japanese army had reached nearly 10,000. As the sky was about to dawn, the Qiong Army's endless air raid was definitely coming. Niudaoman had no choice but to give up the faint results that had been achieved less than one kilometer and began to retreat voluntarily.

Because he knew that it would cost at least 20,000 people to break through the defense line of the Qiong Army during the day, otherwise it would be impossible to pose any threat to their defense line under the fierce air strikes of the Qiong Army. But if he really did this, he might have broken through the position of the Qiong Army for a while and temporarily broke the shackles. However, it is still unknown how long they can hold the position with excessive military losses.

The most likely situation is that the two sides formed repeated tug-of-wars at the breakthrough point, but this is obviously beneficial to the Qiong Army. The Qiong Army's artillery and air superiority can be exerted near the positions at the breakthrough point, while the Japanese army can only use their lives to fill those positions that were repeatedly attacked by artillery fire and plowed flat. In this way, it is equivalent to giving up the built solid fortifications and running to the field to fight attrition with the Qiong Army. This is obviously what the Qiong Army hopes to see most.

There was no way, Niu Daoman finally retreated back to his original position, watching the Qiong Army recover the lost position and then calmly carry out the restoration and reinforcement work.

This failed raid not only consumed a large number of troops in Niujima's hands, but also lost a lot of ammunition, causing great inconvenience to the Japanese army's future operations.

After seeing that Niushima had been silent and not much trouble, the Okinawa defense line changed its defense work. Most of the defense lines were handed over to Qiong's mechanized ** troops. Although their soldiers were of average quality, as the first troops to go abroad to fight, they were all highly motivated. In addition, they used their superior weapons and strong positions to fight defensive battles. At least under Niushima's full attack, it would be no problem to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.

After the defense change was completed, a large number of Qiong troops were liberated and entered a state of rest to prepare for the next battle.

While Okinawa was undergoing a major change of defense, Chen Xuchu returned to Qiongya on an Air Force transport plane. He had a plan to discuss with Roger, and his madness was even worse than Zhu Qingyue's plan to abandon the plan to wipe out Niushima Man.

"You mean...we will raid directly on the Japanese mainland!?Now!?Immediately!?" Roger stared at Chen Xuchu with an incredible look on his face, unable to believe what he had heard, "Are you sure you are not kidding?"

Chen Xuchu shook his head seriously: "Did I fly back from Ryukyu just to make a joke with you? Is this a joke OK?"

"Okay." Roger waved his hand. He had confirmed that Chen Xuchu was indeed serious. "Tell me your reasons. Since you think we can attack Japan now, then there must be your reasons."

Chen Xuchu said: "Actually, it is said to be Japan's local area, but there are still differences. Although Seed Island is also a traditional territory of Japan, it is not Japan's four main islands. Strictly speaking, the purpose of our operation is still to land on the four main islands of Japan to obtain a forward base. With the location of Seed Island, once we occupy it, the bombing range of the Air Force will cover the entire territory of Japan. Similarly, if we want to launch an attack, it will only take several hours from departure to arrival. The reaction time left for the Japanese is very short, which can greatly increase the suddenness of the attack. Finally, once we board the main island of Japan, Seed Island as the closest forward base is absolutely unestimated!"

"Seed Island is indeed very good as a forward base for attacking Japan, but it only takes a few hours to sail between that island and Kyushu Island in Japan, which is almost the same as directly attacking the main island of Japan!" Roger said dissatisfied, "You should also know how tired our troops are now. Doesn't it be too dangerous to let them step into the quagmire of Japan at this time?"

Chen Xuchu said again: "If you attack the four major islands in Japan, it is indeed the case, but Seed Island is different!

First of all, the defense on the island. So far, our intelligence has confirmed that the Japanese have not arranged many defensive forces on Seed Island, and they are still trying to use the remaining islands of the Ryukyu Islands to stop us from attacking. But at this time, they have already planned to strengthen the defense of Seed Island. If we do not attack now, the price of the attack in the future will inevitably be much greater! And now attack. By surprise, we can completely occupy the entire Seed Island at the fastest speed at a small price, so that the maximum integrity of the island facilities can be guaranteed and the advantage can be ensured for subsequent operations.

Secondly, the aviation side. Although our Qiong Army's aviation force is tired, the Japanese are even more tired! The continuous "Jiusu" battle can be said to have exhausted the last bit of the Japanese aviation force. The Japanese aviation force is now lying in a cave and licking wounds! It can be said that now is the time when the Japanese aviation force is most vulnerable and the lowest combat effectiveness! Although our aviation force is also very tired, we can still persist. Especially the Air Force, because we participated in the battle late, the pilots even felt that they were not satisfied with the high fighting spirit! As long as our raid successfully occupied the airport, the Air Force can settle in to provide support for the entire battle! Even if the airport is destroyed at that time, facing the exhausted Japanese aviation force, our Navy aviation force can also persist at the airport to repair it alone, and the Air Force reinforcements will arrive!

Again, on the navy, all the main battleships of the Japanese Navy have been repaired in the shipyard. We have an absolute advantage in the navy and can completely ensure the safety of the transport fleet. If the initiation time of the Seed Island Battle is delayed until we have prepared all the conveniences, then the three super battleships and the remaining aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy are likely to be repaired and re-launched! In addition, the Seed Island Battle is actually carried out within the range of Japanese land-based aircraft. At that time, I am less than 50% sure whether I can successfully defeat the Japanese navy and ensure the safety of the transport ships! And now, I have 99% of my confidence!"

Hearing this, Roger already understood what Chen Xuchu meant. In the battle of Ryukyu, the Japanese Navy lost all its main ships and was unable to compete with the Qiongya Navy in a short period of time. The aviation force was seriously insufficient in the number of aircraft and pilots in the "Jujiu" combat, and the war-weariness was high. It can be said that it was the lowest period of Japan's naval and air strength!

Although the Qiong Army was not completely prepared to land on Seed Island at this time, if they were ready, the Japanese might have recovered. At that time, it would be even more difficult to attack Seed Island! Chen Xuchu's move was completely the most powerful strategy, and he would not give himself rest time, nor would he give the Japanese a chance to breathe! Relying on his own tired but his strength is above the Japanese, he would expand the results as much as possible!

Moreover, in their hearts, the Japanese were also not prepared for this move by the Qiong Army. In their opinion, the just-matched battle of Okinawa has consumed a lot of energy and supplies of the Qiong Army. Moreover, there are more than 100,000 people in Okinawa that have not been eliminated. It is incredible to directly attack Seed Island, which is far from Japan's threshold at this time. This kind of ideological slackness will greatly increase the success of the Qiong Army's raid. In addition, the preparations for landing Seed Island can be disguised as landing preparations for Amami Oshima to achieve deception purposes, making the battle more concealed.

However, even so, Roger was still worried because Seed Island was too close to Japan. Not to mention using transport ships to transport troops to reinforce, Japanese soldiers could float to the island with fast wood! There is no doubt that this would pose too much threat to the island's troops. If there is any unexpected situation, their Qiong Army's reinforcements would have to run at least 300 nautical miles before they could reinforce, and it is very likely that they would not have time to react!

"Old Chen, have you ever thought about what if the Japanese provide large-scale reinforcements to Seed Island? Seed Island is so close to Japan. What if they smuggled troops on the shore regardless of the night, regardless of casualties? Can you block them?"
