Just as the four-star Admiral MacArthur gave a speech, a Japanese lieutenant admiral came to Philippine. He was the mortal enemy of the Chinese people, Lieutenant General Onishi Takiji, the commander of the Japanese naval aviation who bombed the mountain castle. He served as the commander of the Second Joint Air Fleet, with the rank of Rear Admiral.

Onishi Takijiro first served as the Chief of Staff of the 11th Air Force of the Japanese Navy. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, in March 31 of the Republic of China, he was transferred to the General Affairs Minister of the Naval Aviation Department. In November of the Republic of China, he was promoted to Aviation Weaponry. Chief of the General Administration.

Until this time the United States was about to attack the Philippines, he was transferred back to the front line and appointed as the commander of the Navy's First Air Fleet.

After the end of the Mariana Sea Battle, the Japanese Navy suffered a disastrous defeat and was sunk three aircraft carriers by the U.S. Navy. Onishi Takijiro wrote an opinion and distributed it in the base camp naval headquarters, saying that if the war continues like this, it must be If it fails, the upper echelons of the Navy should resign collectively.

In view of his personal ability and fame, this opinion letter also caused an earthquake in the naval military command, which made the big figures very embarrassed, so he believed that Onishi Takijiro could no longer work in the navy center command organization, and got to the front line out of sight. Not upset.

On October 20th, Lieutenant Admiral Takijiro Onishi took over the command of the Joint Fleet First Air Force. This air force is an aircraft carrier that once owned the aircraft carrier Shozuru, Zuizuru and Zuiho three aircraft carriers. An aircraft carrier, an elite force of about 1,600 fighters, including land-based airports.

However, when Onishi Takijiro came to the Philippines to take over this force, the entire aviation team did not have a single aircraft carrier. There were only more than 100 fighter jets, and only one-third could be deployed.

He finally decided to attack the US Navy’s aircraft carrier by suicide, because conventional combat methods were ineffective, and the opponent’s strength was so desperate.

That night Takijiro Onishi summoned the backbone of the First Air Force. The method he adopted was to use zero fighters, filled with bombs weighing 250 kilograms each, and dive into the flight deck of the enemy aircraft carrier. Come sink the opponent's aircraft carrier.

Unexpectedly, his method was affirmed by the pilots. In fact, except for some pilots who were poisoned and brainwashed by ****, most of the pilots of the Kamikaze Special Forces were succumbing to pressure and could not let themselves be laughed at. And humiliation. Don’t let your family members be ridiculed and humiliated. As long as you are selected, there is no one who dares to refuse.

The first suicide attack in the first round was carried out by Naval Aviation Commander Guan Xingnan, and a total of six Zero fighters were organized.

This is the infamous Kamikaze task force in the history of World War II, and because of this opening, it has become normal for the Japanese to drive planes into warships.

The Battle of Wright Bay began on the night of October 23 and ended on the morning of October 26.

It was already early November when Chen Mingxiang got the news, and he was closely watching the movements of the Japanese 11th Army and the attacks of the 23rd Japanese Army.

"The headquarter of the bureau received a report from Guizhou Station that the counterattack in the fourth theater failed to work. After several days of stalemate, the 23rd Japanese Army cancelled its plan to attack Guizhou and mobilized the 22nd Division and The 104th Division, as well as the 23rd Independent Brigade, are fully attacking the troops in the Fourth Theater, and they have now reached the outskirts of Liuzhou."

"Our Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan offices have called, and the Frontier Intelligence Group has reported that the 11th Army of the Japanese Army used the 58th, 40th, 3rd, 13th and 30th Divisions. The Fourth Division and the 37th Division began to move towards the Guizhou area on the 24th."

"Among them, the 58th Division consists of the 14th and 15th Heavy Artillery Regiment, the Second Independent Field Artillery Regiment, the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the Third Tank Wing. It's the main attacking division." Wang Zhen said.

"I knew it would be such a result, and I counterattacked. I was sent to Liuzhou City by the Japanese army. It happened that the Japanese 11th Army picked up a bargain. Liuzhou's troops were unable to reinforce Guizhou. What kind of counterattack was this the continuous offensive against the 23rd Japanese Army?" Chen Mingxiang shook his head helplessly.

He really didn't have much hope for the performance of the Shancheng government forces. He didn't react too fiercely when he heard the counterattack failed in the fourth theater.

The plan of the Japanese army was to mobilize the two armies to attack Guizhou. The intention of the Fourth Theater Command was to block the 23rd Japanese Army and relieve the pressure on Guizhou. If it could persist, it would be a good move. , But the problem is, he didn't stop the Japanese army!

"Mingxiang, look at it, Ono Osa's car is coming, and even Major General Ono Ichiro is following." Wang Zhen pointed to the parking lot outside and said.

"There is good news. It must be the Japanese fighting against the United States in the Philippines. The navy has suffered a big loss, otherwise it will not look like a concubine." Chen Mingxiang said to Wang Zhen.

This time the Marine Corps commanders Major General Ohno Ichiro, Ono Osa, Nakajima Osa and Shimada Nakasa, the four came together, Chen Mingxiang felt very excited in his heart, he was too eager to hear good news.

"Chen Jun, I also just received news from the Military Command. From the 23rd to the 26th, the main force of the combined fleet and the U.S. Navy will conduct operations in the Sibuyan Sea, Surigao Strait, etc. There was a fierce naval battle, and the navy suffered heavy losses this time." Ono Osa said in a sad tone.

The U.S. Navy lost three aircraft carriers in the naval battle in Wright Bay. The Gambier Bay escort aircraft carrier was sunk by naval artillery, and the Princeton light aircraft carrier and the Saint-Lo escort aircraft carrier were hit and sunk by the God*wind*.Two destroyers and one frigate were also lost.

Four escort aircraft carriers, two destroyers, three frigates, and one submarine were injured, 162 aircraft were lost, and fewer than 3,000 casualties.

The Japanese Navy's combined fleet was spared in the battle by the Zuizuru aircraft carrier, the light aircraft carriers Zuiho, Chitose and Chiyoda, and none of the four aircraft carriers that fought.

The three battleships Musashi, Fuso and Yamashiro were sunk.In addition, six heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and ten destroyers were lost.

One aviation battleship, four battleships, three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and three destroyers were damaged. Two hundred and eighty-eight aircraft were lost, and the casualties exceeded 10,000.

"After this naval battle, the main force of the combined fleet was basically lost. At most, it was fighting in the domestic waters. There was no ability to support ocean operations. The battleship Musashi was sunk. This is a disaster!" Ono Major General Ichiro said.
