Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After reading the telegram, General Minamino's hands and lips began to tremble, trembling like dead leaves shivering in the cold wind. His eyes were closed tightly, and two lines of tears came out of his eyes, "Matsuda-kun, it is certain that what happened to Yamamoto-kun  What a misfortune!" His voice was as hollow as if it was coming from hell.  ¡ð

    Admiral Minamino was a veteran and could identify the problem at a glance. Bougainville Island in the Northern Mariana Islands was the place where Yamamoto Isoroku must pass when returning to his homeland. A large transport plane was discovered that had been shot down.  Does the result still need to be guessed?

    Chief of Staff Matsuda was completely stunned. He had also had the worst thoughts, but before he was sure, he still had a glimmer of hope. Now, the hope was completely shattered. He suddenly felt that the sky was falling and his eyes were filled with darkness.  .

    "General, what should we do next?" Chief of Staff Matsuda asked General Minamino almost subconsciously.

    After confirming the fact that General Yamamoto had met with misfortune, General Minamino had aged for more than ten years in an instant, and his heart was immersed in incomparable sorrow. Originally, he was from the army, so he would not interfere in the affairs of the navy.  Or it would be better to intervene less to avoid getting into trouble, but now, Lieutenant General Matsuda has completely messed up the situation, and coupled with his personal relationship with Yamamoto, he cannot let it go.

    "Matsuda-kun, please do two things immediately." Admiral Minamino said in a dry tone without any moisture: "First, in the name of the Combined Fleet Headquarters, immediately send a telegram to Nagano-dono stating that we are inquiring about Yamamoto-kun's whereabouts.  As a result, it is initially determined that General Yamamoto has been killed!¡±

    "Second, order the Bougainville Imperial Army Defense Forces in the Northern Mariana Islands to immediately organize manpower and conduct a search overnight. Be sure to find the wreckage of the fallen large transport aircraft, and do not destroy the scene. Likewise, do not reveal that you are looking for Yamamoto.  General!"

    After the telegram was sent, the reply from Navy Minister Nagano Osamu came as quickly as possible, asking, "Why did such a thing happen? General Yamamoto's return trip to the mainland should be classified as highly confidential. Shocking! Unbelievable."  Is there any conspiracy on the part of the Army?"

    "Furthermore, until the wreckage of the crashed large transport plane is not found and it is confirmed that General Yamamoto suffered a misfortune, I do not believe in the judgment of your Combined Fleet Command and will conduct a search all night long. As soon as there are results, report them to me immediately!"

    No wonder General Nagano Osamu didn¡¯t believe that a normal call back to the homeland would take the safest route and be escorted by two squadrons of fighter jets.  Why did something happen?  Especially at the critical moment when General Yamamoto was recalled to the country to meet with His Majesty the Emperor and was about to assume the post of supreme commander of the Imperial Australian battlefield, if there was no conspiracy.  Who believes it?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  There have been dogfights, so.  General Nagano would rather believe in Yamamoto Isoroku¡¯s phone number.  It was due to mechanical failure that he made an emergency landing somewhere and lost contact with the Combined Fleet Headquarters. However, he was even more flustered, but he did not expect where the ten escorting fighter jets were.

    After reading the telegram from Admiral Nagano, Admiral Minamino shook his head repeatedly and smiled bitterly. Now, he can no longer get involved in naval matters, let alone continue to participate in this matter, otherwise he may get into trouble.

    Based on the historical feud between the army and navy, the navy lost a super heavyweight general, and the reason is still unclear and confusing. It will inevitably arouse the anger of the navy's top brass. The first step is to trace the cause of Yamamoto's misfortune.  He did something, but he himself, who knew Yamamoto's return trip to his homeland, happened to be a member of the Army. It was strange that he was not suspected!

    After making up his mind, Admiral Minamino said quietly: "Matsuda-kun, there are so many things happening in the navy, and my status does not allow me to be too deeply involved. Therefore, you must calm down and take charge of the overall situation. Also, the escort mission of the combined fleet,  Don't be affected in the slightest Do you understand what I mean?

    "General, no one dares to doubt your personal relationship with Commander Yamamoto. His Excellency Nagano was also in a hurry" Chief of Staff Matsuda explained that his mind is still blank now and he urgently needs something like this.  Elders and wise men like General Minamino, who had a close personal relationship with Commander Yamamoto, would guide the way.

    However, General Minamino shook his head firmly. Just as he was about to say something, a communications staff officer came in, looked at General Minamino, and then reported to Chief of Staff Matsuda: "Reporting to Chief of Staff, you have received orders from the Empire of the Northern Mariana Islands.  A call back from General Fukui, Commander of the Army Defense Command.¡±

    "Read it!" Chief of Staff Matsuda said in a deep voice.

    Looking at the gloomy Chief of Staff Matsuda, the staff member did not even dare to raise his head and read: "According to General Fukui's telegram, HokushimaThe Bougainville Island in the Anna Islands is very small. The Imperial Army only has one brigade stationed there. It is also densely covered with virgin rainforest and has complex terrain conditions, making it extremely inconvenient for search operations!  "

    "Especially at night, it is very dangerous to send out soldiers to search. He cannot risk the lives of Imperial Army soldiers. But after dawn, General Fukui will issue a search order, but there is no guarantee that within a few days, we can  The whereabouts of the fallen large transport plane were found!¡±

    "Baga!" Chief of Staff Matsuda roared angrily, slapped the staff officer hard on the face with a big mouth, and knocked the poor staff officer back a few steps and fell to the ground, "Matsuda-kun, please calm down.  !" General Nanye shouted in a low voice, and at the same time, he signaled the staff officer who got up to leave quickly.

    "General, those bastards in the Army are so cold-blooded? How dare you shirk the Combined Fleet Command's search order? Don't you know that this matter is related to the future and destiny of the Imperial Navy?" Chief of Staff Matsuda looked like crazy.  His hair exploded and he roared loudly.

    General Minamino shook his head and said: "Matsuda-kun, you must be very familiar with the feud between the Army and the Navy. Besides, we did not clearly state that we are searching for Yamamoto-kun's phone. Being impulsive and impatient will not help. Don't lose your temper.  !¡±

    "The safest solution now is for you to immediately send out the command officers who are familiar with Yamamoto-kun, all of whom must be loyal and reliable, and the position and rank of the leading officer cannot be too low, and rush to Bougainville Island in the Northern Mariana Islands overnight.  Join the search!"

    "And strictly require all officers to keep secret about everything they see, and not to disclose any information to the local army commander. You can find a normal reason to say which large transport aircraft has personnel from the Combined Fleet Command on it."  Top secret documents."

    Admiral Minamino was indeed experienced and his arrangements were spotless. Chief of Staff Matsuda sincerely admired him and was grateful for everything he had done for the Navy. He bowed deeply and said with sobs: "Senior, Commander Yamamoto will thank you for everything you have done for the Navy.  I am also grateful to senior for his guidance. I will make arrangements right away. Just stay here and wait for the news! ¡±

    "No! Matsuda-kun, after dawn tomorrow, please arrange a plane to take me back to the North American Combat Command. Don't forget, I am still the chief of staff!" Unexpectedly, General Minamino said this.

    "Senior, you?" Chief of Staff Matsuda was very puzzled, "Don't you want to know the exact information about Commander Yamamoto?"

    "I really want to!" Admiral Nanno said with sadness and loneliness in his tone: "But this is not the place where I will stay for a long time. Matsuda-kun, all measures taken afterwards are the decisions of the Combined Fleet Command and have nothing to do with me.  ,Do you understand me?"

    "Also, once you confirm the fact that Yamamoto-kun has been killed, please notify me immediately by sending a private telegram!" His voice became hoarse, and his expression became increasingly lonely.

    In the early morning of July 24, just as the sky was getting light, two large Japanese Navy transport planes landed at the airstrip on Bougainville Island, one of the Northern Mariana Islands. Nearly a hundred Japanese Navy personnel stepped out of the transport planes.  The officers and soldiers were led by Rear Admiral Kuroda, deputy director of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet Operations Department, and more than two dozen junior officers. In addition, there were two squads of Japanese Marines.

    Lieutenant Commander Watanabe of the Bougainville Island Garrison Group, which is affiliated with the Northern Mariana Islands Army Defense Command, received an order from the Defense Command last night to assist the Navy in searching for the downed Navy large transport aircraft.

    According to Japanese military tradition, when you see your superiors, you must obey orders unconditionally. If your superiors tell you to die, you must immediately wipe your neck. However, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe belongs to the Army system, while Rear Admiral Kuroda is from the Navy.  Don't care about yourself.

    What¡¯s more, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe is not very happy to carry out this search mission. Just kidding, there are virgin rainforests all over the place. Who knows if there is any danger to life?  Is it worth killing a few more soldiers for a broken transport plane?

    Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe was not very respectful and saluted simply, "Your Excellency, General, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe, Captain of the Bougainville Army Garrison Group, is at your command!" There was a lot less respect and awe in his tone.

    Major General Kuroda, who was in a heavy mood, did not notice the attitude of the Army Lieutenant Colonel at all. Before setting off from Honiara, Chief of Staff Matsuda's words of advice were still lingering in his ears. Moreover, Chief of Staff Matsuda did not  Concealed, between words, I shed tears of pain several times.

    Commander Yamamoto is the commander he admires most. During his several years in the Combined Fleet, he witnessed and participated in several battles with the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet commanded by Commander Yamamoto. The image of that god-like man has taken root in the Black Sea.  Major General Tian's heart, again, he doesn't want this to be true.

    Taking a deep breath of the salty and humid air, Major General Kuroda said expressionlessly, "Let's go!"
