When he heard that he had met his old rival Yamashita Fengfumi again, Xigua suddenly jumped up from the bed. With this jump, his head hit the lower edge of the bed. The pain made Digua almost shed tears, but Digua didn't care about this and said in his mouth.
Said: "Damn it, I didn't expect to meet this old devil Yamashita Fengwen again. This time, I will make him pay with blood!"
There is a reason why Digua reacted so fiercely. In the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the third regiment, Yamashita Fengwen is their biggest enemy. This is not only because the third regiment fought several battles with Yamashita Fengwen when they were in the Northeast, but also because Yamashita Fengwen
Fengwen destroyed the Changbai Mountain base and occupied Wujiashan, a base established by countless people with their lives and blood.
Without Yamashita Fengwen, the Wujiashan base area would have been fine, political commissar Wang Husheng would not have escaped to Yan'an, and so many good brothers would not have died at the hands of the Japanese.
This bloody feud has long been engraved in the hearts of everyone in the Third Regiment. Now that they have encountered Yamashita Fengwen again, how can they be willing to let it go?
"Captain, give us an order. We must not let Yamashita Fengwen escape this time!" Digua said.
"Captain, we must capture that old devil Shanxia Fengwen alive!" said Donkey.
The Wolf Fangs were all filled with indignation and clamored for Xu Rui to give orders.
Xu Rui said: "Be patient and take a good rest for a while. The Japanese have at least hundreds of thousands of troops in the Philippines. To destroy them, the Americans will definitely need our help. Sooner or later, we will be able to use you."
"Captain, how long will we have to wait?" Zhuan Shanbao asked.
"Soon." Xu Rui's face became solemn. He believed that in the future war, the Third Regiment and Langya would definitely play their role and show their might in the Philippine Campaign...
At this time, the U.S. military and the Japanese were fighting extremely fiercely on the battlefield in the Philippines. Last time, the Leng Tiefeng barge held back the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet in Leyte Gulf. As a result, the U.S. military won the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and the heavyweights above the Combined Fleet cruisers
Thirteen warships were sunk, and Japan's naval and land-based aviation forces in the Philippines were completely wiped out. From then on, the Japanese navy was no longer a strategic force in the Pacific War. This battle also helped the US military capture the Philippine Islands, and even the future.
A good foundation was laid for the capture of Okinawa.
At this time, the Japanese commander in the Philippines was Marshal Yamashita Tobumi, who was transferred from Northeast China. His subordinates were mainly the 14th Army, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, the commander, and Lieutenant General Sosaku Suzuki, the commander of the 35th Army.
Philippines, Manila, in the Japanese High Command in the Philippines, Yamashita Tomofumi was ordered to unified command the 14th Army and the 35th Army. Yamashita's heart was extremely complicated. In Northeast China, Yamashita was invincible and eventually occupied the entire Far East region.
, even the powerful Soviet army was no match for him, but when he arrived in the Philippines, he encountered big trouble.
This is because his enemy was changed from the Soviets to the Americans. This does not mean that the Americans are much more powerful than the Soviets, but because when they were in the Northeast, the Soviets' strategic focus was always in the direction of Europe, and in the Far East.
The region remained on the defensive, so although Yamashita Fengfumi failed in several battles, he finally captured the entire Far East region.
However, the situation on the Pacific battlefield is completely different. The US military has used its main force on the Pacific battlefield. Japan is at a strategic disadvantage. More importantly, in Northeast China, Japan has air superiority, but on the Pacific battlefield, the United States
People have superiority in the sea and air. Yamashita Tomofumi, who is familiar with military affairs, certainly knows how important it is to have air and sea control in a battle.
At this time, Yamashita Fengfumi had no choice. He had to persevere and even dreamed of winning this battle with no chance of victory. Because Japan had already lost Mariana and Saipan. If it lost the Philippines or Taiwan,
Then the lifeline of the Japanese Empire's resource transportation to the mainland will be cut off, and the connection with China, North Korea, and the mainland in Southeast Asia will also be cut off.
However, at the beginning of the battle, Yamashita Tomofumi suffered a heavy blow. Because of a small barge, the main force of the Japanese combined fleet suffered a devastating blow from the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Leyte Gulf. Now strategically speaking, Japan has not won at all.
The possibility of a war in the Philippines, however, Yamashita Fengfumi did not want to give in. He wanted to make a final death struggle.
In the headquarters, Yamashita Fengwen was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and he shouted: "A group of idiots were dragged by a small barge. What a bunch of idiots!"
Masaharu Honma on the side said: "Marshal Yamashita, please don't be too excited. Although our navy and air force failed, we do not have no chance to turn defeat into victory."
"What opportunities are there?" Yamashita Fengwen asked.
Masaharu Honma smiled and said: "Marshal Yamashita, do you remember the divine wind that changed Japan's destiny during the Yuan Dynasty?"
Yamashita Fengwen's heart moved. After thinking carefully, a piece of historical information came to mind. When Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty was in power, he launched an attack on Japan in order to unify Asia. As a result, he was defeated by the Japanese due to lack of preparation. However, Kublai Khan
Lieutenant General did not give up, so he sent 40,000 Mongolian troops, 100,000 Han troops, 100,000 sailors, a total of more than 200,000 troops, and launched a second attack on Japan. The entire Japan was in an extremely dangerous state. However, at this time,
A strong wind suddenly blew on the sea, capsizing the Mongolian ships one after another. The remaining fleet was chased by the Japanese. In the entire battle, the more than 200,000 Mongolian troops were almost wiped out. This battle
The strong wind that saved Japan was later called Kamikaze by the Japanese.
Yamashita Tomofumi is familiar with historical anecdotes and naturally has a deep memory of this period of history that affected Japan's destiny.
Yamashita Fengfumi asked Honma Masaharu: "What do you mean by this?"
Masaharu Honma said: "I want to set up a kamikaze force to attack American warships like a kamikaze, destroy them, and save the Japanese Empire."
Yamashita Tomofumi couldn't help but sneer at Masaharu Honma's idea. Now, Japan's most powerful fighter, the Zero, is vulnerable to the American P51 Mustang fighter. How can it break through the U.S. military's defense and destroy the U.S. warships?
Masaharu Honma said: "Under normal circumstances, our fighter planes are indeed no match for American fighter planes. However, if our fighter planes set out without thinking about coming back, and with the courage to kill themselves, they would carry bombs and fight against American warships."
Are we going to die together?"
"The suicide plane died together with the US warship..."
Yamashita Fengfumi kept chewing on Honma Masaharu's words. After a while, his eyes lit up. Yamashita Fengfumi realized that perhaps, Honma Masaharu's idea could really reverse the unfavorable situation of the entire Philippines.
Thinking of this, Yamashita Fengwen said: "Homma-kun, this is really a good idea. I leave everything to you."
"Hai!"
Masaharu Honma bowed, saluted Yamashita Fengfumi, and then strode out of Yamashita Fengfumi's office...
At this time, the Japanese Air Force in the Philippines only had forty military aircraft from the First Air Force. However, their mission was to prevent the attack of US fighter planes. In the sky over the Philippines, there were a full 2,000 US military aircraft, forty
Fighting against two thousand aircraft, and still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quality and quality, there was no possibility of completing the mission. Therefore, the Japanese recruited a group of trainees from military schools, and after the most basic training, prepared to carry out kamikaze
Special attack mission.
The pilots who performed kamikaze missions were determined to die and prepared to die to serve the country, flying their planes and dying together with American warships.
In Leyte Gulf, in the great sea battle that just took place, the Americans achieved a great victory and completely controlled the air and sea supremacy of the Philippines. At this time, in Leyte Gulf, U.S. warships were constantly cruising in the sea. Under the sun, many soldiers and officers took
I brought a chair and put it on the deck to sunbathe. It was very comfortable and comfortable.
Regarding the just-concluded naval battle, Lieutenant General Turner firmly believed that the Japanese had lost all naval and air power, so the Philippines, both sea and sky, would be dominated by the Americans.
However, at this moment, General Turner heard a buzzing sound of aircraft in the sky.
Since no planes of our own had taken off, Turner concluded that there must be Japanese planes in the sky. Turner walked up to the deck and looked forward, only to see densely packed Japanese planes appearing in the sky like locusts.
Turner shouted: "Fight now!"
Following Turner's order, the U.S. military hurriedly fought, and U.S. planes soared into the sky. However, the Japanese planes in the sky had no desire to fight with the U.S. planes. They just wanted to hit them head-on before being shot down.
American warship.
Seeing the "scheming" attack by the Japanese, Turner was dumbfounded and shouted: "God, what are they doing? I have never seen this kind of attack before."
Many US military officers were also stunned and could not believe their eyes. They did not expect that the Japanese Japanese would be so crazy.
Little did Turner know that these Japanese kamikaze team members were actually a group of child soldiers. They had only seven hours of flying experience at most. The instructor only taught them two movements, "pull up" and "dive", and did not teach them "
"Land" because they didn't even need to land.
These planes are equipped with high explosives. Once the pilots enter the cockpit, the doors will be welded shut. Even if they don't hit Americans, these pilots will eventually die from running out of fuel.
These naive teenagers were completely poisoned by the Japanese devils' **** ideas. They crashed into the American fleet like "madmen" and wanted to exchange a plane for a warship.
Seeing the crazy actions of the Japanese devils, many American soldiers were stunned.
