Does anyone know what the ancient name of Okinawa is? China people will answer, except traitors (except dogs), foreign countries can't do it, and the Japanese will fuck off!

It was called Ryukyu in ancient times.

Okinawa, the main island of Okinawa Islands in southern Kyushu, Japan, is located in the center of Ryukyu Islands and is the largest island in the archipelago. Length 106km, width 3 1km. The area is 1, 182.5 square kilometers. The population is about 940,000. The northern part is mountainous, accounting for two-thirds of the island, including Na Ba Yue, Yuyue Yue and Enna Yue. There are many platforms and plains in the south. Mainly agriculture, there are paddy fields and orchards, mainly producing pineapples and sugarcane. Rich in aquatic products. There are also canned food and sugar industries. Naha is the largest port city. (Formerly a dependency of the motherland)

There are no mountains and rivers in Japan, and Shangri-La in the hearts of the Japanese is the pure land in the sea-Okinawa. It's very close to China. It takes only 1 hour and 40 minutes to fly from Shanghai to Okinawa, which is closer than Tokyo to Okinawa. Okinawa, along with Hawaii, Miami and Bahamas, is also known as the four major seaside tourist attractions in the world.

Okinawa taste

Many people have heard of Emil Wakin Chau's "Flower Heart". The original version of Flower Heart is a Japanese song. This song is a household name in Japan, and the singer is a popular female singer. The original music of "Flower Heart" is set in Okinawa, Japan, and once released, it became popular all over the country.

As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water raises one side. When I arrived in Okinawa, the architecture was Japanese and the living habits were Japanese, but the taste of Okinawa was very different from that of Japan thousands of miles away. Shangri-La, China is located in Yunnan. The locals are good at singing long songs. Their unique voice is very penetrating, and they can really appreciate the atmosphere of the plateau and the artistic conception of Shangri-La. Okinawa's music has the same effect, unique sound, long distance, softness and rigidity. In 1990s, developed Japan was quickly covered by pop music. Facing the strong offensive from Europe and America, the Japanese music scene is struggling to find a way out. The artist discovered Okinawa, shaped the creative materials and made Okinawa music unique. Twenty years ago, Americans returned to Ireland, the hometown of immigrants, and injected local music elements into the pop music scene; 10 years ago, the Japanese went to Okinawa to learn from the scriptures, and the winding path was secluded; Today, artists from China came to the plateau in droves. The taste of Okinawa is the original Japanese taste, returning to the natural taste.

Okinawa characteristics

The beauty of Okinawa is unobstructed; Okinawa's character is a long story. If you go to Okinawa, you will meet many tourists from Taiwan Province Province, China. They come to Okinawa for weekends and family holidays, and they have frequent contacts, which makes people feel that the China culture in Okinawa is much stronger than that in Japan. Okinawa experienced an unforgettable disaster during World War II, and the US military paid a huge price for landing in Okinawa, thus foreseeing the risk of landing in Japan, which directly contributed to the determination of the US military to use atomic weapons to accelerate the war process. Although the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the fierce fighting in Okinawa was extremely fierce. For many years, the American occupiers have been making troubles and disturbing people in the Okinawa base and its vicinity, and the Japanese in Okinawa are filled with indignation, especially the rape of local girls by American soldiers in 1997. The governor of Okinawa Prefecture (the highest official of the local government) personally led the people to demonstrate and strongly demanded that the Americans be driven away. Isolated island, looking for support, leaning on strong shoulders, but unable to get rid of the injury. Okinawa embodies Japan's helplessness and helplessness.

Some people say that without Chinese characters and loanwords, Japan would have no articles to do. This statement does make sense.

Okinawa fun

Wash and sleep: Japanese people love to take a bath. There are many hot springs for people to enjoy in Japan, but not in Okinawa. Okinawa is surrounded by the sea, and beaches replace hot springs. However, some Japanese still regard the bathing beach as a hot spring, and put some towels and bath towels outside the swimsuit, which is very conspicuous. Of course, they still have to take a shower before going to bed.

Rinse and eat: historically, Okinawa only produced rice, but no pasta. Pasta is also popular now, and there are more than ten ways to eat it. The most unique thing is to make a pool with thick bamboo in the yard, lead cold water into a clean pool, soak the cooked hot noodle soup in the cold water pool, fish and eat at any time. Because Okinawa is located in the subtropical zone and the climate is hot and humid, eating cold noodles is a kind of enjoyment, while drawing water with bamboo is a kind of fun.

The Japanese are still creative, but these ideas are "Japanese".

Battle of Okinawa

Battle of Okinawa

During the Pacific War, the US military launched a landing campaign against the Japanese in Okinawa from March to June. 1945.

Okinawa is the largest island in the Ryukyu Islands, located between Japan and Taiwan Province Province of China. It is 340 nautical miles north of Kyushu, with a width of 3 ~ 3 1 km from north to south and an area of about 1 176 square kilometers. The north is mountainous and the terrain is steep; There are many hills and natural caves in the south. There are five airports and 10 harbors on the island and its nearby Yijiang Island and Qingliangjian Islands, which are the southern barriers of Japan. 1After the American army occupied Iojima in the spring of 945, it decided to capture Okinawa in order to gain control of the sea and air near the Ryukyu Islands and establish a base for attacking Japan. The Japanese army is determined to concentrate its naval and air forces and destroy the main force of the US Pacific Fleet in the waters near Okinawa. At the same time, it will stick to Okinawa with army troops to gain time for a partial decisive battle. The total strength of Japanese troops guarding the island is more than 6,543.8+10,000, including two divisions of 32 armies and about 86,000 mixed brigades of 654.38+ 0, as well as naval base troops and special regiments compiled by island residents. Under the unified command of Lieutenant General, Niudao Manchu Army. The defense focuses on the southern part of the island, with Mugang and Shouli as the core, and Yachongyue and Zuoyue areas at the southern end as the third line of defense. Each line of defense relies on hilly areas to form a multi-layered solid defensive position. The 2nd Fleet of the Japanese Joint Fleet (under the command of Lieutenant General Ito Izumi, with 1 battleships, cruisers and 8 destroyers), submarine forces and aviation units stationed in Kyushu and Taiwan Province provinces undertake anti-landing support and cover tasks. Okinawa and its adjacent islands also have 1 torpedo squadrons and more than 600 special attack boats. The U.S. military has 452,000 troops, 1500 ships (including those of the British Far East Fleet) and about 2,500 planes under the unified command of Admiral R.A. spruance, commander of the Fifth Fleet. The 10 Army (commander is Lieutenant General S.B. buckner), which undertakes the landing mission, consists of the 3rd Army and the 24th Army, and has 7 divisions183,000 people, of which the 27th, 77th and 8th1Infantry Divisions are reserves. The U.S.-British joint aircraft carrier mobile unit and the U.S. 20th and 2nd1Strategic Bombing Units are responsible for cover and support.

On March 18, the US military began air strikes on Kyushu, Shikoku and Taiwan Province Province. At the same time, all the assault echelons of 10 Army carried out sea navigation. Since the 23rd, carrier-based aircraft and naval guns have prepared for fire on Qingliangjian Islands and Okinawa Island, destroying some airports and exposed defense facilities on the island and eliminating Japanese offshore attack boats. On 26th, the 77th Infantry Division landed in Qingliangjian Islands, and obtained a ship berth and a logistics supply base. On the morning of April 1, Okinawa Island began to prepare for direct naval guns and aviation firepower. The 3rd Army (1, 6th Army Division) and 24th Army (7th and 96th Infantry Divisions) landed in the 9-kilometer section north and south of Yuju Banner. On that day, about 60,000 people from four divisions and a large number of tanks and artillery landed, and a landing site with a frontal area of 14km and a depth of 5km was established, including two airports. At the same time, the 2nd Marine Division of the United States feinted in Okawa Sea southeast of Okinawa. On the 4th, American troops occupied the central part of Okinawa, cut off the islands in the middle and began to attack the main positions in the north and south. At this point, the landing task has been completed. On the 6th, the 2nd Fleet of the Japanese Navy sailed from Japan to Okinawa in an attempt to fight a decisive battle with the US naval fleet. The next day, the American fast carrier formation sailed to the southwest of Kyushu to confront each other, and its carrier-based aircraft sank the Japanese battleship "Yamato", 1 cruiser and four destroyers, thus eliminating the maritime threat. Eight Japanese submarines went to the waters near Okinawa and were all sunk except 1. From April 6 to June 22, the Japanese army, navy and air force carried out 10 large-scale attacks on American ships. Although certain results have been achieved, it has not had a significant impact on the whole war situation. The 3rd Army of the United States successfully advanced to the north of Okinawa, and occupied the northern half of the island and Dao Jiang on April 2 1. The 24th Army attacked south, met with strong resistance from the Japanese army, and made slow progress. Break through the Mugang defense line on the 24th. Later, the U.S. military adjusted its deployment, and 1 Marine Division and the 77th Infantry Division fought in the southern line. On May 4, the Japanese army failed to launch a general attack and was forced to shrink its position. Surrounded by the two wings of the US military, he abandoned the first line of defense and went south on the 29th. On June 4th, the US 6th Marine Division landed on Lu Xiao Peninsula from the coast of Mugang. 17, 8th Regiment of 2nd Marine Division landed in Kiyamu. On 18 and 10, Lieutenant General buckner, commander of the Army, was killed, and Major General R.S. Geiger, commander of the 3rd Army, took his place. On the 22nd, American troops broke through Japan's southern defense line. In the early morning of the next day, Niu Shiman, commander of the 32nd Japanese Army, and his chief of staff committed suicide by caesarean section, and the battle ended.

In the battle, the Japanese army killed more than 90,000 people, captured 7,400 people, lost 7,830 planes, sank 16, and injured 4 ships. About 65438+ ten thousand people died on the island. More than 70,000 American soldiers were killed or injured (including 26,000 non-combatants), 763 planes were lost, 36 ships were sunk and 368 ships were injured. This battle was the largest and most disastrous in the Pacific War, and it was also the last battle between the United States and Japan. After the US military occupied Okinawa, it opened the door to Japan and achieved the goal of establishing a strategic base for its subsequent March into Japan. In this campaign, the US military occupied an absolute advantage, mastered the sea control and air control, and chose a favorable landing area, but the tactics were dull, fearing night battles, melee and hard battles, and did not make a detour at sea in time; The Japanese army used tunnels and anti-oblique positions to offset the advantage of American firepower, fought tenaciously for three months with melee firepower and night attack by small teams, and destroyed a large number of American warships with "Kamikaze" special attack aircraft. However, Lu Haijun and aviation failed to cooperate closely and gave up the opportunity to destroy the enemy in the beach.
