All is lost. There is no hope. The miserable United Fleet, the miserable navy, and the miserable empire have been completely disintegrated in two days and two nights of Pacific naval battles.
Lieutenant Colonel Mizusawa Sugimoto hugged a hibiscus tree with both hands and banged his head against the tree trunk crazily. The hibiscus tree trembled with his shaking, and its branches rustled. Next to Sugimoto is Second Lieutenant Kobayashi Tawen. Xiao Lin stared blankly at the sky covered with rain clouds, and beat the moss on the stone slab with his fists angrily.
The truth cannot be concealed after all. The losses of the United Fleet in the Pacific naval battle were reported one after another, and a picture of a disastrous defeat was quickly pieced together. Sugimoto personally participated in the naval battles of Midway, Santa Cruz and Mariana, and he knew how to analyze the actual battle situation through the false records reported by the Japanese base camp. He was convinced that the Japanese navy was completely finished.
Sugimoto narrowly escaped death from the Marshall Islands. He was one of only a few people to escape that hellish island. Lieutenant General Obata met him and told him that the Marshall Islands campaign was nearing despair. He hoped that he could report the defense deployment of the Marshall Islands to the base camp to provide a basis for the Japanese army's island defense in the future. Regardless of success or failure, lessons must be learned.
There are several aircraft at the Marshall Islands airport. Most of them were cleverly camouflaged and escaped the bombardment of Chinese fighter jets and the artillery shelling of Chinese warships. Shanmu selected a Land Attack Type 1 bomber. Because he was flying at night, he picked the best magnetic compass from several airplanes and installed it on that airplane. Ground crews filled the runway as much as possible. He gritted his teeth, took several important Japanese intelligence officers and their families, and took off from the bumpy runway.
When he was taking a break in the Ogasawara Islands and repairing the bomber. Learned about the fall of the Marshall Islands and the massive attack by the Chinese army on the Line Islands. He thought, it seemed that Lieutenant General Obata was unfortunately right.
Sugimoto was very sad. This is a judo match with great disparity in strength. Japan uses an island country with a population of 70 million to fight against China with a population of 600 million. The level of steel, petroleum, and industry cannot be compared. The suicidal behavior caused by overconfidence has brought bitter consequences to the citizens and soldiers.
The plane finally landed at Miyazaki Air Base on the main island of Kyushu. Nakagawa had already reported the list of personnel on board to the Southern Army Command. As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Sugimoto got off the plane, he was retained by Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro, commander of the First Air Fleet. Onishi's men had just arrived at the Miyazaki base from the Ogasawara Islands. Most of them were novices. On their way back, they were hit hard by Chinese carrier-based aircraft. Shocked.
Onishi desperately needs veterans like Sugimoto to train his newcomers. Therefore, he tried his best to retain Sugimoto, and his sincerity was very touching. Sugimoto handed Obata's charts and Nakagawa's family letters to his companions, and settled at the Miyazaki base.
The war situation is getting tighter and tighter. Sugimoto rushed to train new pilots. Most of them are young students, Sugimoto had met such people when he was on Linga Island. It¡¯s no longer strange.
It¡¯s just that among the pilots, there is a young Shimiya named Kobayashi Tawen. The technology is very good. caught his attention. Xiao Lin was only twenty-three years old. He was originally a college student studying mechanics at the Higher Industrial Institute. After the war, he dropped out of school and joined the naval aviation.
Xiaolin is very good at flying airplanes and his culture is slightly higher than other pilots. "If it weren't for the war, he would be an excellent engineer!" Sugimoto thought. Because Kobayashi speaks Chinese well and has a good understanding of the performance of Chinese fighter planes and Chinese warships, Sugimoto often chats with Kobayashi.
In response to a possible offensive by the Chinese army, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters formulated the "Jie" combat plan. The word "Jie" means "reporting victory". It is divided into four types according to the different attack directions of the Chinese army: Czech No. 1 - Ogasawara Islands; Czech No. 2 - Minami Kyushu; Czech No. 3 - Japan mainland; Jet No. 4 - Hokkaido, Thousand Islands.
It is this "Jie No. 1" plan that will use all the remaining ships of the combined fleet and all the aircraft on Kyushu Island to engage in the most critical battle to defend the empire.
Although China has begun a major offensive, the Japanese army still has formidable strength. The coastal defense artillery hidden underground, the Japanese sailors who are skilled in artillery, and the thousands of aircraft at more than 70 airports around the main island of Kyushu are more powerful than the aging Zhai. General Fuji is countless times stronger than General Yamashita.
I heard that China's aircraft carrier force has suffered huge losses in large-scale naval battles. Then, there will be no more than ten fleet aircraft carriers actually appearing on the coast of Kyushu Island. It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with them with so many sea and air forces. Bar.
Even if it is difficult, we must overcome all difficulties. Because if the main island of Kyushu is lost, Japan will surely perish.
The Pacific Naval War is a shame that the Japanese Navy will never forget. The Japanese nation's intelligence has declined, its energy has dried up, its thinking has become confused, its will has collapsed, its confidence has been shaken, its skills have become rusty, and its spirit of Yamato has dimmed. What should be lost is lost, and what should be lost is also lost.
Those that cost Japanese citizens huge sums of money to buildThe giant ship was so fragile under the attack of aviation, as if it were a target ship made of plywood and horse manure paper.
So, isn¡¯t it the same for old and American ships?!
An era in which aircraft dominate the battlefield has finally arrived. No one can feel the atmosphere of the new era better than Sugimoto, a veteran of carrier-based aircraft. What a shame, the war has been lost.
Now, what can be done is to let those Chinese pigs appreciate the power of Japanese pilots.
However, it is simply impossible for this group of "youngsters" who made a lot of fools of themselves in the Mariana and Marshall Islands battles. The Chinese warships are real steel beasts that will easily swallow up their young lives.
His students are really a bunch of superfluous people!
Shan Mu raised his head and looked at the mouse-grey clouds above the Miyazaki base. The roar of engines could be heard above the clouds, and one or two Chinese fighter jets rushed out of the low clouds from time to time and fired at several concrete runways at the Miyazaki base. The airport was empty, except for a few damaged planes. The wormwood reaches knee high, there are puddles dotted here and there, a group of frogs make noisy noises, and it is a desolate scene.
Xiao Lin suddenly stopped sobbing. he asked the fir tree;
"Did you fly on the 24th?"
"No. I suffered from dysentery that day. There are so many endemic diseases in Kyushu. I had diarrhea twelve times a day and I also had chills. Just to make matters worse, even taking Jinnashuang didn't help."
Kobayashi raised his eyebrows, "Lieutenant Colonel Sugimoto, do you know the story of Major General Arima?"
"I have heard about it a bit. However, I have been in the Naval Air Force for a long time, and the affairs of the Army Air Force are quite vague. The Navy never cares about the Army's affairs."
Xiaolin started to talk. He had poor eyesight and had to wear glasses when flying in the sky. Due to the serious losses of pilots, people like him who had never dreamed of flying a plane became a pilot. His eyes are always narrowed habitually.
"Major General Masayoshi Arima, like Major General Kato, were Japan's earliest aviation officers. They flew thousands of hours on biplanes. They also participated in the establishment of the Japanese Army Air Force. They are both heroes in the history of Japanese aviation. Major General Kato in Malaya After being shot down and sacrificed by a British plane, only Arima and a few other veteran pilots are left."
Sugimoto Suzuki recalled Arima. He had met him at Atsugi Airport and he was very busy. The impression given to him by Arima was that he looked like a postman. Or the old country policeman. Anyway. He seems to be a humble man. He is clean shaven, has thick lips and a wide mouth; he must be a good father. The officer's hat looked a bit too big on Arima's head. but. He has a straight back, a long neck, and is very energetic.
¡°General Arima shot down fifteen British and American aircraft!¡±
Kobayashi continued: "My flight instructor, Major Iida, was a former member of the 26th Air Force. He admired Arima very much. When I first came to Kyushu, I was assigned to the Arima unit. He gave us lectures in person. and demonstrations, talking very seriously about the performance of enemy aircraft and the characteristics of Chinese military pilots. "If you are lazy now, you will pay for it with your blood in the sky." He also said: "The Air Force is a service that relies on ordnance and technology, and pilots must be allowed to perform." The greatest imagination. The situation in the air is changing rapidly, how can we memorize the regulations! 'We young people all regard General Arima as their mentor and father." Then, Xiaolin's voice changed a little. "On the day of the Pacific Naval Battle on the 24th, the Chinese Third Fleet assembled in the waters north of Leyte Island. The sky was cloudy, rainy, and the cumulus clouds were thick. I, Captain Kurojima, and Rear Admiral Arima had a total of twenty-six Zero aircraft to cover Twelve land attack bombers went to attack the Chinese army fleet.
"We found the mobile fleet of the Chinese army three hundred nautical miles south of the Ogasawara Islands. General Arima decided to focus on attacking one of them. Our past experience was to attack several enemy ships at the same time, but in the end, none of them could be sunk."
Sugimoto had to nod in agreement.
"We selected a Chinese Emperor-class mothership, divided into four teams, and attacked from both sides of it in turn. The Chinese army fighter jets rushed down to bite us and fight, and the artillery fire from the escorting ships was also very fierce. Just two minutes later, Half the bombers and fighters were shot down and we couldn't even get into bombing position."
Sugimoto sadly recalled the scene of the Mariana naval battle, and he was not surprised at all that this happened.
"The enemy's naval guns and anti-aircraft cannons are accurate and powerful, and the radio fuzes have aroused our sense of fear. The enemy pilots cling to us, even risking being hit by their own naval guns. If the attack continues like this, Sooner or later, we will die, and we will gain nothing. We are not afraid of death, but dying like this is worthless. There is a slogan in the army, "Seven lives to serve the country," that is, one life for seven lives. We must at least "one aircraft for one ship" 'That's right!"
"General Arima passed through us, and his Zero plane went straight towards the Chinese aircraft carrier. Until nowThey didn't even remember the number of this aircraft carrier. We were all shocked. He had neither bombs nor torpedoes. Did he use machine guns to shoot at the 30,000-ton aircraft carrier?'
"Although General Arima is usually kind to his subordinates, he is a depressed person. He is more silent than talking and laughing. He is the oldest noble clan - a Samurai warrior. He lives a very poor life and spends all his time studying military and military affairs. Tactics. He sent out the signal that "the empire rises and falls. In this battle, all personnel will perform their duties to the best of their ability." This was Admiral Togo's signal during the Battle of Tsushima. He shook his machine and passed through the blocking artillery fire of the Chinese aircraft carrier. Crash into the base of the enemy ship's island-shaped building. Looking back today, General Arima meant for us to follow his example and perish together with the enemy ship."
"What happened to the Chinese aircraft carrier?"
"Oh! A horse hit its vitals. It burst into flames and black smoke rose to a height of 700 meters. The ship shook violently and staggered out of the battlefield. When I flew over it for the last time, China The army has extinguished the fire. I saw clearly that its control tower was completely destroyed. Bodies were lying strewn on the deck, and more than a dozen aircraft were damaged. The general destroyer was rescuing people on the port side. Then her huge enemy ship Gradually tilting We idiots with no imagination. If everyone followed General Arima's example, not only could we sink that aircraft carrier - it would finally escape carrying the wreckage of the Arima plane and the general's bones. - and it can increase the results of naval battles several times, and then the Chinese will not be so arrogant."
Xiao Lin stretched out his little finger to the triumphant Chinese fighter plane in the sky and cursed,
Sugimoto almost blurted out, "Why are you so anxious? There is still a chance to do it next time!"
Xiao Lin was a little surprised: "Use a plane with bombs to hit the enemy ship"
"Exactly." Sugimoto explained calmly: "Actually, this idea has long existed among our naval pilots. For a carrier-based aircraft pilot, returning to the ship is extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than bombing the enemy. warship.
Think about it: landing on an undulating platform the size of a bathtub. There is a cross wind. The mothership had to make various maneuvers to avoid torpedoes and enemy aircraft. Our planes were riddled with bullets. Some of them had lost control, and the people were exhausted and even injured. Even landing on an army airport with a good runway was a very difficult thing. and. We were mostly out of fuel. Unable to pull up and fly again. The blocking rope should be hung with a tailhook on the thirty-meter runway. I think the acrobats in Hibiya Park are only qualified to be our apprentices!
"So, after the naval battle lost those veterans, the novices often said: 'It would be better to be killed on an enemy ship than to die unjustly when landing on the ship. At that time, our naval aviation also often thought that if we could carry bombs Crash into the enemy ship and die heroically like the samurai of Taranosuke. Do you know how many aircraft we lost in this naval battle? Two thousand three hundred and seventy. Even if we use seventy to ram the enemy ship , the Chinese fleet is also going to be doomed." Sugimoto finally said: "Anyway, if you die, you might as well carry out a special attack. Just like China's elusive missiles!"
At this time, an American-made jeep rolled through the grass at the Miyazaki base and drove to the end of the runway. It made a half circle and drove towards Sugimoto and Kobayashi. It stopped twenty meters away from them, and a man in a white admiral's uniform walked out.
"Ah, Lieutenant General Onishi, hello!" Sugimoto greeted the visitor. Xiao Lin said softly: "He is the famous person who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor!"
They paid military salutes to the lieutenant general, and then stood respectfully. Daxi's shoulders are very broad, and his chest is slightly forward. He is a proud man, frivolous in speech, full of talent and drive. It was he who, at a moment that most people thought was unimaginable, categorically recommended the use of aviation attack tactics to attack Pearl Harbor, which was a complete success.
Onishi has outstanding military exploits, but his promotion has been slow. He has only now become the commander of the First Air Fleet. Before taking office, the First Air Fleet was changed to the Fifth Base Air Force, under the command of the First Lieutenant General of the Mikawa Army. Although Mikawa was a hero in the Battle of Savo Island, he was left empty-handed. After he handed over Shima's Penghu fleet to Nishimura, he didn't even have a destroyer on hand. He could only command Onishi and Fukudome Shige, Vice Admiral Fukudome Shige was the commander of the Second Air Fleet.
Shanmu is very familiar with Daxi and knows his character well. Daxi is full of innovative ideas, but he does not know how to flatter others and does not know the secret of ups and downs in the officialdom. He is too aggressive, shows off his edge, thinks too highly of himself, and lacks etiquette, which sometimes makes it difficult for his boss to step down. However, his talent and resourcefulness are recognized by the world. Middle and lower-level officers like Sugimoto and Kobayashi admire Onishi completely.
Onishi approached them and moved his lips: "Let's talk casually, Sugimoto-kun, Kobayashi-kun. Oh, let's smoke." He took out a box of hard-covered Manila cigars and gave one to each of Kobayashi and Sugimoto. He also took one himself and bit it off.Take care of yourself and start the fire. Kobayashi and Sugimoto didn't bring any matches, so they lit the fire with Onishi's cigarette. Onishi's behavior is a bit strange.
Onishi¡¯s face darkened and he said bluntly: ¡°You all know the outcome of the Pacific Naval War, right?¡±
The two nodded with tears in their eyes.
Daxi became excited, the cigar swaying in his hand.
"The combined fleet, which was built with so much money from the people, was completely wiped out like this, Navy! Let's always remember this shame."
Sugimoto listened and forgot to smoke. The smoke went out and he held it in his hand.
Onishi looked at Sugimoto: "Hey, Sugimoto-kun is from the navy, and I am also from the navy. We don't have time to talk about the navy. Before the war, I carefully studied our navy at Kanoya Base, staff officer Yodo Minoru, and also studied We can defeat the enemy's navy. Our navy is very good. It has been fighting well in the three and a half centuries since the Imjin War. There is no use saying this!"
Daxi brushed off the cigarette ashes vigorously. He tossed the matchbox to Sugimoto. He actually noticed carefully that Sugimoto's cigarette had gone out. He is not usually so careful.
Onishi said: "However, contrary to the incompetent navy, my pilots achieved great success. Captain Guan Xingnan commanded four planes to attack three Chinese aircraft carriers off Samar Island at the same time, and two were severely destroyed. Captain Guan The Chinese aircraft carrier that attacked had a big explosion, the flames were three hundred meters high, and it sank in just twenty minutes. It was much more powerful than the Yamato. You know, they rammed the enemy ship."
The three people were silent for a few seconds, Shan Mu didn't know what to say.
"One life is exchanged for eight hundred lives. One aircraft is exchanged for an aircraft carrier. I have already told Vice Admiral Nagumo about this method. I also said it with Admiral Koga and also said it with Admiral Toyota. No one paid attention to it. I thought This is an immoral tactic. They were good. They were very moral. In the end, they lost the battle. There are only wins and losses in war. There is nothing moral or immoral." Onishi has his own logic.
Sugimoto said angrily: "This should have been done long ago!"
Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro threw away half of the cigarette butt and took out another one to smoke. He excitedly talked about this period of history. The Chinese plane was flying in the clouds. The "cuckoo" sound of the machine gun seemed to add punctuation to Lieutenant General Onishi's story.
"After the Battle of Guadalcanal, the navy's heavy losses were slowly revealed, and the navy officers talked a lot: Only by using planes with bombs to hit the modified ships can the war have hope. Because China is vast and rich in resources, and has endless resources. , for them, people are more valuable than warships, but we are just the opposite.
Sugimoto-kun personally participated in the Battle of Mariana. The bombing skills of our new pilots are shameful! Three hundred planes were actually unable to sink an enemy aircraft carrier. We can no longer afford to lose planes.
"Rear Admiral Hisao Obayashi, commander of the Third Air Fleet, and Admiral Eiji Shiro, the captain of the Chiyoda carrier, reported the discussions in the military to Nagano. Sugimoto-kun, you know Admiral Nagano, he is always good at this kind of thing. As old as he is, he is old and indecisive. He did not comment on the plan, and just like that, he missed the opportunity again! Six hundred aircraft failed to sink an enemy carrier. I will think about this next time The number will become one thousand. We are all satisfied with the boastful battle reports from the base camp, and the aircraft that the people have worked hard to produce have been ruined in vain, and many people have died. My predecessor, Vice Admiral Teraoka Kinen, believed: Ordinary The tactics are no longer effective In order to win, the only way is to be brave.
When I took office, I only had 300 aircraft of various types on hand, some of which were twin-jet aircraft. I ran around and found that only one-half of them could get into the air. This was a joke! You wouldn¡¯t believe that such a few broken planes could defend the main island of Kyushu and the Empire of Japan. Sugimoto-kun, that¡¯s why I¡¯m detaining you for drafting training.
Rome was not built in a day. I had no time, no plane, no gas and the training was just a formality. Sugimoto-kun, I know you know, and students like Kobayashi know who can become an aerial expert like Mizuo Fuchida on the Akagi or Joichi Tomonaga on the Hiryu overnight. No way! Soon, I received the task of covering the Jie-1 operation. I thought to myself that within two days, these planes would be used up over the islands. I think that instead of passively defending, we should directly attack the Chinese Pacific Fleet. Of course, we will never die as foolishly as we once did. We must carry out special attacks. "
"Special attack?" Kobayashi and Sugimoto asked reflexively. In fact, they knew very well.
"Even if you use a Zero to carry a 250 kilogram bomb, or use a gale to carry 500 kilograms, even our few orange flowers can be piled full of explosives to ram enemy ships."
Sugimoto and Kobayashi were silent. Daxi has already done what they are thinking about. He is Daxi after all.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??? said sadly: "General Teraoka planned all of this, even compiled the plans and training tutorials. He left, and I came. I have no other choice but to follow his established plan. I decided to organize a special attack team immediately.
"Everyone already knows that the war situation is critical. The Chinese army has occupied the Aleutian Islands and landed in Ogasawara. It must be a large-scale invasion of Kyushu main island. Our last fleet will be dispatched according to the scheduled 'Jie 1' plan, and the attack may be in Ogasawara The Chinese army landed on the islands. Of course, the task of our aviation force is to resolutely destroy the enemy's motherships so that they cannot attack our fleet. In my opinion, if you want to use the power of the air force most effectively, you can only use aircraft to bring bombs to the collision Enemy ship."
"I mentioned it before at an aviation meeting, and the response was far beyond my expectation. As soon as I finished speaking, everyone was brave and willing to sacrifice for His Majesty the Emperor. There is only one thing left, and that is this What is the name of a death squad? I remember General Nogi Nogi used the word "kamikaze" on Highland 203 in Lushunkou. I don't want to repeat it. Lieutenant Commander Inoguchi suggested using the word "kamikaze". Great! That "kamikaze" battle 600 years ago The wind blew over the Mongolian Eastern Expedition Fleet and saved Japan. Today, the passionate young man will use his body and spirit's "divine wind" to blow over the Chinese fleet. It will save the empire. I agreed at that time .¡±
Onishi talked about the scene of the first attack of the "Kamikaze" special attack team:
November 25th. A stormy dawn on the main island of Kyushu. Dawn illuminates colorful wildflowers. In front of a cream-yellow Spanish-style building, stood a team of "Kamikaze" pilots; they were all young people, with a passion for death and no fear in their eyes. Some of them are married; some have fianc¨¦es. But not worried. Many of their contemporaries have died on the battlefield in the service of the Empire. Nor do they covet their own lives. Although they didn't fly a few ups and downs. The technology is very poor and cannot attack the heavily defended Chinese warships, but. Now they bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the emperor.
Their short lives are more like wild flowers that are bright but fade in an instant. May the empire not forget these flowers.
The kamikaze team is divided into four squads: Shikishima, Yamato, Asahi, and Yamasakura, with a total of twenty-four pilots.
They had a hearty breakfast, left a suicide note and relics, and even took the time to take a shower. As a soldier of the empire, you may die in battle at any time. But the Suicide Squad is another thing, and the Commando is a third thing. Soldiers die and live, kamikazes occasionally survive, kamikazes definitely die. Death was his mission.
When they think about their inevitable death, they realize the beauty of life. Their time in this world is too short. They are studying, falling in love, and don't even know what women are. They also had all kinds of ideals, fantasies and dreams. Who plans to die in their twenties?
Now, the emperor wants them to die, Japan wants them to die, and the commander wants them to die. Their brothers, from as far away as Port Moresby, the Aleutians, Tarawa, Imphal, and all the way to Leyte Gulf, became ghosts one after another. They want revenge on the Chinese.
But who sent them to these foreign lands that they had never even heard of? Their brothers and sisters who survived, while sympathizing with their sacrifices, shouldn't they condemn the launching of the war and destroying the Japanese nation? That bastard military headquarters who threw himself into a sea of ??blood with other nations!
Onishi approached them, shook hands with them one by one, and then made a speech. He said that it was his intention to board the plane with the special forces team. However, he still wants to stay and encourage the next group of special attack warriors, so he takes a step back and asks everyone to wait for him in the Kingdom of God.
Danishi was like a hypnotic wizard, speaking impassionedly: "Gentlemen, the Japanese nation is facing troubled times. Those who can understand and share the national crisis are not important ministers, generals, military ministers, or veteran soldiers like me. What can we do for us? It is you, the energetic, innocent and pure young people, who bear the fate of our motherland. Therefore, on behalf of the Japanese people and the officers and men of the entire army, I implore you. I wish you immediate success."
He became more and more emotional as he spoke, and his voice trembled, making it difficult for him: "Gentlemen, you are already gods! You are the military god most admired by the Japanese. It is precisely because you have become gods that you do not miss this dirty and miserable world.
"If you have any other wishes, then I guess you want to know the price of your attacks. Your only regret is probably this. You cannot know this because of your long sleep. Everyone Please rest assured. Although I cannot inform you, I will report it truthfully to our country and His Majesty the Emperor. Your military exploits will be spread throughout the world, and your souls will rest in peace.
"Everyone, please!"
After Daxi finished speaking, his eyes were full of tears, his throat was sobbing, and it was difficult to make a sound. ?He had to turn around and was silent for half a minute. Then he turned around and walked up to each special attack team member. As a vice admiral, he bowed deeply to each of them at a 90-degree angle. The special attack team members who had never seen the world were moved to tears.
The special attack team members began to put on flight suits and wore white ribbons with "Yamato Soul" written on their heads. One by one, they said goodbye to the base commander and ground staff, drank a bowl of Japanese sake, and then stepped into the cockpit of the fighter plane. The mechanics had already hung a bomb on the pylon of the auxiliary fuel tank and connected the safety device to the cockpit. They specifically told the pilots: "Before hitting an enemy ship, don't forget to open the safety device!"
The "Kamikaze" team members waved their hands. The mechanic helped them close the canopy. The engine whirred, and the plane climbed into the sky and flew toward the east. They will never come back.
This is the scene when the first batch of "kamikaze" special attack teams attacked.
Onishi Kanjiro looked at Sugimoto and Kobayashi with a strange expression. There was a gloomy and suppressed emotion on his face that only "old guys" like Sugimoto and the others could understand. He said:
"Commander Onishi, please let me join the special attack team."
"The men on your second aircraft carrier are under the command of Lieutenant General Fukuru Shige. Fukuru Shige and I discussed the matter of the special attack team. He said that since Guan Xingnan and the others have done a good job, I will leave my people to you. I dare not disobey him. I mean, Japan is in danger. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility on my shoulders, I would rush straight towards the enemy ship like General Arima. It's so happy! It's a pity that I have to organize more people to defend Kyushu's main island, defend the coast, and defend Japan. , this responsibility is heavier than death!"
"Let me do it for you," Sugimoto said.
¡®And add me. "Xiao Lin also expressed his attitude anxiously.
"Thank you. You're welcome. With an aerial hero like Sugimoto, the Kamikaze team will definitely hit the Chinese people hard."
He patted Sugimoto on the shoulder: "You are worth more than a Chinese warship. Your mission is to take them over the enemy fleet, tell them various flight data and technical essentials, and then observe the bombs and record their successes and failures. The reason is that it can be used to train the next batch of special attack team members. Let our young people reach the pinnacle of life in batches, while the Chinese people fall into the abyss of darkness. Behind the main island of Kyushu, there are Shikoku, Honshu, and There is Hokkaido. As long as we resist to the end, everywhere will become a Chinese cemetery. They will be afraid of our soldiers and our youth. They paid a high price in blood, the security of the motherland has been guaranteed, and the Sacred Heart of His Majesty the Emperor has also It¡¯s peaceful.¡±
"I understand. Don't worry. The people on the second aircraft carrier will not be worse than those on the first aircraft carrier. Let's compete." Sugimoto gave a military salute to Onishi. Onishi returned the gift and ran to the jeep. At the car door, he waved to Shan Mu and Xiao Lin again. "please."
The jeep has gone away. Sugimoto thought: Onishi is really a resolute and resolute man of action!
Sugimoto went to see Lieutenant General Fukurun Shige. The Lieutenant General had already discussed with Onishi and ordered him and Kobayashi to carry out the order to form a special attack team.
Sugimoto is stupid, so let Xiaolin do the talking.
"Xiao Lin is an intellectual after all. He told the pilots the history of Japan since Emperor Jimmu, Japanese culture and religion, the traditional spirit of Japanese samurai, and how such a great nation was facing the danger of national destruction and how to save Japan. It is up to you to sacrifice your lives for the country. He sang the school song of Etajima Sea School:
We are the cherry blossoms of the same period,
in full bloom at the Naval Academy.
"Everyone has to die. Rather than living under the rule of the Chinese, it is better to die magnificently and become a military god admired by future generations."
The pilots were inspired and their emotions were very high.
Sugimoto stood in front of the queue again:
"Gentlemen, I am in the barracks tonight. If any of you are willing to join the Kamikaze team, please come to my residence individually. If you don't come, I will keep it a secret. We only want people who have nothing to worry about, and you are completely You can volunteer. Do you understand?" he asked loudly.
"I understand!" the pilots replied in unison, with tears on many of their faces. (To be continued)
