Just as the 21st Bomber Wing of the Army Aviation was exerting all its energy and throwing mines everywhere, the Navy was also very busy. Starting from October 20, the U.S. military began to return to the Philippines. Due to the previous

In the air battle near Taiwan, the Japanese aircraft fought hard. As a result, when the US fleet appeared on Leyte Island,

, Japan’s First Air Force stationed in the Philippines already has only 40 usable aircraft. As for warships? After fighting for so long, even the hard-headed battleship commentators understand that without air cover, it will

The previous fleet had more than a dozen aircraft carriers, and no matter how many battleships it added, it would only make people fly kites until they died.

Besides, even if we don't take into account their air superiority, the Japanese have no advantage in terms of battleships alone. Therefore, the Japanese did not care about the fact that the First Air Force only had 40 aircraft, and directly gave it to the commander of the First Air Force, Onishi.

Lieutenant General Takijiro issued an order and requested

He exerted his subjective initiative and attacked and severely damaged the enemy no matter what. Because once the Philippines was lost, the Japanese army would be cut off in the Pacific. Japan needed various materials produced in Southeast Asia, such as oil, rubber, etc.

There are various other

There will no longer be a chance for all kinds of things to be transported back to Japan. The problem faced by the Japanese Navy is even more serious. If they stay in the north of the Philippines, they will soon find that they do not even have the fuel to operate the warships.

No more. And if they stay in the south

On the other hand, stay on the Borneo side. The highly volatile oil produced there can even be sent directly to the boiler for burning. In this way, the fleet's fuel will be no problem, but they will soon discover that the amount of oil required for ship maintenance is

Parts and ammunition needed for combat are all gone.

To put it simply: once the Philippines is lost, the Japanese navy will be completely destroyed. Instead of losing combat effectiveness due to lack of fuel, or lack of ammunition and parts, after the defeat, the remaining warships will be used by the victorious countries.

It is better to die vigorously at this time than to carve up the country. Therefore, Japan’s goal is no longer

Then defeat the U.S. military and force the U.S. to negotiate with Japan and recognize Japan's special rights in the Asia-Pacific region. Such dreams have long since dissipated like morning dew as the Japanese army failed again and again in front of the U.S. military. Today's Japan

We can only hope that there will be an honorable armistice. However, the Japanese's hopes and those of the Allies are still far apart.

In December 1943, the Allies issued the "Cairo Declaration", demanding Japan's unconditional surrender, and clearly stipulated that the Northeast, Taiwan, Penghu and other areas that Japan plundered from China must be returned to China; and areas such as Korea and other areas that Japan plundered and occupied will also be returned to China.

Gain independence.

The Japanese government feels that such conditions are really unacceptable. They believe that they must bring greater losses to the Allies and make the Allies feel that the price to completely destroy Japan is too high. In this way, they may be able to get a better condition.

Therefore, the current combat mission of the Japanese Navy has become: to cause greater losses to the Americans as much as possible. The order received by Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro is actually based on this thinking.

Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro also understood that he had received a mission to launch a suicidal attack. Although he did not have the power to complete it, the order had been issued. Of course it must be completed if there are conditions. Without conditions, create

The conditions must also be fulfilled!

"Hey, it would be great if the elite pilots from back then were still there. Even if there were only 40 planes, they might be able to do something. But now these guys, even the American ships are parked there, even if their

The anti-aircraft firepower has disappeared, and these guys may not be able to drop bombs on the US warships! They can't even tell whether the bomb exploded on the water or on the warship!" Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro

My brain was broken by this matter.

"General, I have an idea." Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro raised his head and saw that it was Colonel Rihei Inoguchi, the staff officer.

"Oh, Inoguchi, what can you do?" Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro asked. Hearing that there was a feasible way, Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro suddenly became energetic.

"The method is special attack!" Colonel Rihei Inoguchi said. Seeing Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro's puzzled expression, he added: "It is to load military aircraft with explosives and ram them into US aircraft carriers, replacing one aircraft with another! American production

The ability far exceeds ours. If we use normal consumption, even if we can win every time, we will be the first to fall. Only by carrying forward the spirit of Bushido and adopting the collision method

, one aircraft for one ship, only then can we have the possibility to continue to support, and only then can the Americans realize our determination to resist. Moreover, ramming is easier to hit than dropping bombs, and does not require much training. When the Yuan invaders attacked, the kamikaze

Having surrounded Japan, let the Japanese samurai turn into invincible kamikazes and defend Japan again! I think such a force that performs special attack missions is called a kamikaze team."

"Well, that makes sense!" Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro thought for a while and said, "Under the current situation, this is the only way to do it! We in Japan lack everything except fearless warriors... But first,

Don't mobilize among experienced pilots. Go to flight schools to mobilize. In addition, we still have too few planes. We must find ways to get more planes. Otherwise, these planes are really not enough now.

ah."

Onishi Takijiro knew that the so-called "one aircraft for one ship" is impossible. If a fighter jet loaded with explosives is used to ram a warship, the damage caused to the warship is actually much smaller than that of an aerial bomb with the same amount of explosives.

Because the aircraft is larger in size and softer in structure, it is impossible to penetrate the armored deck, and its destructive power is naturally inferior to

Aerial bombs that can penetrate armored decks. Most American aircraft carriers are relatively strong. It is almost impossible to knock down an aircraft carrier with a single plane. However, if you can damage it and force it to withdraw from the battle, even if

It was only a few weeks, so that was pretty good. At least it would give the Japanese army time to breathe.

In this kind of thing, the Japanese are very efficient. After a few days, Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro found a group of "Yamato warriors" with an average age of just 17 years old who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Japanese Empire. These mouths have not yet grown.

The beard is half full

The boys expressed their gratitude one by one to Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro for giving them the opportunity to become the God of War and enter the Yasukuni Shrine. Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro personally talked to them, fooled them into confusion, and then waved goodbye to them.

After getting into his car, Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro said to his adjutant: "Let them eat well before departure. In addition, the night before departure, ask the comfort station to stop other services and give them a special session. Otherwise, they will die like a child."

.In addition, the medicines prepared for them before departure must be prepared, and the aircraft must be modified as soon as possible.”

The so-called drug actually refers to a stimulant called methamphetamine, which now also has a more widely known name: ice.

Used in small amounts, this thing can improve people's mood, increase their ability, and increase their arousal, showing that they are energetic, awake, alert, talkative, enthusiastic, active in thinking, high in mood, focused, and able to work (especially

It is the improvement of technical work ability), and there is no fatigue when working or studying for a long time

, no feeling of hunger. So after it was first created, it was provided to drivers who drove long distances to avoid drowsiness, students who stayed up late at night to cope with exams, athletes to enhance endurance and speed, actors to increase energy and improve performing arts, etc.

Before World War II, almost all American truck drivers used this thing.

But later, people discovered that this thing is addictive and can cause hyperactivity, emotional impulsivity, brutality, delusions, paranoia, hallucinations and even homicidal tendencies, so the control of it has become increasingly strict. But now, these problems, for a group of people

For someone who is about to kill or commit suicide, it's really not a big problem. In fact, this effect is exactly what the Japanese military needs.

As for the modification of the aircraft, the suicide aircraft must be modified. For example, considering that the suicide aircraft flies out and does not need to come back, then the aircraft does not need to have fuel for the return journey. Then the fuel tank can be reduced and the remaining space can be reduced.

It is just used to hold explosives. For another example, considering that after this thing takes off, there is no need to consider landing, so the landing gear is redundant. First, remove the normal landing gear so that explosives can be loaded in the landing gear bay.

, and then on the machine

Just put a landing gear on your body that will automatically fall off after takeoff and everything will be fine. Also, kamikaze pilots do not need to parachute, so they also save the parachute bag, and the space saved is just for explosives. Considering the kamikaze

The aircraft does not need to engage in air combat with enemy aircraft. The machine guns and cannons can be removed, and the space under the body is just suitable for storing explosives. Considering... considering that the skills of kamikaze pilots are not very good, one of the basic principles of modification is to do everything possible.

It is possible to avoid changing the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft.

On October 24, the naval battle reached a critical moment. The U.S. military's landing fleet was densely packed all over Leyte Gulf. They had already landed again. Early tomorrow morning, the kamikaze team would launch their "earth-shaking, ghost-weeping" attack.

After having a hearty meal in the afternoon, a group of kamikaze boys were taken to the comfort station. A group of authentic Japanese comfort women received them.

I don’t know if it was due to developmental reasons, too much nervousness, or too much excitement or fear about tomorrow. According to the later memories of the comfort women, these "children" did not behave well. Some were very rude, and some were very timid.

, some became impatient but became fast men, and some did not get hard at all. Anyway, when the time came, they all went back to the military camp to sleep. As for whether they fell asleep or not, who knows?

Early the next morning, the special agents got up. Everyone's eyes were red and they didn't seem to have had a good rest. Some people even shivered involuntarily. When death really stood in front of them, a few more people

Can you truly be fearless?

But these were all within the expectations of Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro. Pilots must eat a good breakfast, so before breakfast, they all received a small tablet for appetizing. After taking this tablet, a miracle happened.

Everyone becomes optimistic and magnanimous, and their dreams slip away from their fingers

The courage came back from the stomach in an instant. While everyone was happily eating the last meal of their lives, they happily imagined how they arrived at Kudanban and became the God of War, and how their mother
Chapter completed!
