Chapter 354: Anglo-American Air Team VS Kamikaze Attack Team Begins
"Are we really going to die in Sicily for the Germans? Shimada-kun? β
Sugimoto said in fear as he piloted the Zero. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmmm! In order to get the exchange of new weapons and equipment for the German army, we can only sacrifice like this! But I believe that our sacrifice will be worthwhile, at least our imperial troops can get advanced weapons and equipment to fight against the American army! β
Shimada sighed, suppressing the feeling of fear in his heart in response.
"I don't want to die, and I'm dying in a foreign land!"
Sugimoto said in a depressed and sad tone.
"I don't want to! But for the sake of our motherland, and for the sake of our families, we can only go and fight with the British and American troops! And aren't the biggest enemies of our empire those American troops? Although it is now fighting with them here in the Mediterranean, isn't it the same as fighting them in the Pacific, killing these British and American troops? β
Shimada also responded distraughtly.
"It's all these damn Anglo-American troops, without them, we wouldn't have made these exchanges with the Germans, and we wouldn't have had to come to fight in a foreign land!"
"Actually, if I really want to die, I'd rather die in my hometown! I would love to see my family again, especially my wife Nanako, I wonder how she is now? Will she miss me? I wonder what her life would have been like if I had died in battle. I'm really worried! β
Sugimoto's eyes suddenly turned red, and he cried hoarsely.
"As long as we can defeat the U.S. military, then they can have a good life! There will be no war in our homeland either! β
"We're almost in Sicily, let's fight bravely! There will always be death in life, and we are a bushido warrior, so for the sake of the Empire, for the sake of our Emperor, and for our families, we must fight until the last moment, and our souls will be redeemed after death! β
"Maybe we can live a better life and a more wonderful life in the next life!"
Shimada also comforted himself with a heavy heart.
Then, without responding to Sugimoto, he sped up his Zero and flew towards Sicily.
In this regard, Sugimoto also sighed sadly, and then followed resignedly.
Because this was an order given by the Japanese army, all the pilots of the Japanese Navy and Army could not disobey.
The young players, all in their 20s, were far away from their families and were indoctrinated with the spirit of Japanese bushido, demanding "dedication to the emperor and the country."
Although the top brass of the Japanese army constantly used various methods and tricks to glorify the "kamikaze" and create ecstasy for militarism, so that those pilots who volunteered and forced to join the Japanese Air Force joined the kamikaze and wanted to be suicide pilots who wanted to be heroes willing to serve the emperor.
But many Japanese pilots did not depict the kamikaze fighters fearless of death, gleefully shouting 'Long live the Emperor!' He rushed towards the US pilots.
Many of these young Japanese pilots were pushed onto planes by the Japanese military police, and some of them resisted because they were too frightened, but unfortunately they were killed.
Moreover, many pilots were sadly and reluctantly forced to go to the battlefield to commit suicide.
As for those pilots who wrote in their last words: Abandon everything, go to the safety of the country, return to the country with their souls, and turn into ghosts to protect the country, there are very few.
However, even so, after the Japanese army suffered a series of crushing defeats in the Pacific theater in 1944, in order to hinder the US naval offensive, they attempted to use the flesh and blood of the pilots to drive the fighter planes to ram and sink the US warships, so as to redeem their already doomed fiasco, and thus successively set up eight "kamikaze special attack teams" with a total of more than 10,000 "kamikaze" planes.
Moreover, most of the planes used in these "kamikaze" attacks were modified from light bombers or fighters, and were equipped with a large amount of explosives for suicide operations.
It was only with Chen Yanlong's proposal to exchange new weapons and equipment that Japan's notorious "kamikaze special attack team" began to be hastily established in 1943.
Because Japan is also very short of pilots, in order to obtain the new weapons and equipment that Chen Yanlong exchanged for them, they can only send some recruits who have little flying experience, or pilots who have just been recruited to the air force, and those pilots who have just learned to fly, to Germany and hand them over to Chen Yanlong for disposal.
For these Japanese recruits who had experience but no experience and had no skills, Chen Yanlong did not have the time and mind to train and train them, but directly dispatched all of them to the battlefields on the eastern and western fronts.
As for whether these Japanese "kamikaze" members are alive or dead; But he didn't think about it, he just wanted them to disrupt the operations of the British, American and Soviet air forces.
It would be even better if more British, American, and Soviet pilots could be killed on the battlefield.
"Oops! German reinforcements are coming, and all fighters are ready to split up to meet them! β
"Quick! There are many of them, don't let them come close! β
"Huh! This is not a German fighter, it is a Japanese Zero fighter, they would appear here so suddenly! β
"It's really the Japanese Zero fighters, how can this be, aren't they supposed to fight with our air force in the Pacific? Could it be that our Pacific Fleet has lost a battle? β
"No, it won't! Didn't our Pacific Fleet win the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Guadalcanal, and the Battle of the Marshall Islands? How could so many flying units of the Japanese army come to the Mediterranean in Europe! β
"Who knows! If you don't want to die, give me a quick attack on those Japanese Zero fighter groups! β
About half an hour or so, the British and American air crews, who were still fighting with German fighter groups and anti-aircraft artillery over Sicily, suddenly shouted in surprise.
After they were shocked, they immediately split up and charged towards the Japanese Zero fighter group.
"The Anglo-American air force is coming, everyone be careful, wait for them to get closer before they fight hard!"
"But I really don't want to die! I don't want to die in a foreign land! β
"If you don't want to die, just watch it yourself! Anyway, my family is being coerced by those damn militarists, and there's no way I can't help but obey their orders! β
"I'm not afraid of death, my brother and brother were shot down by these American pilots in the Pacific Theater, I'm going to destroy them now to avenge my family!"
"I'm not afraid of death, for the future of our empire, and prosperity, I fight! Long live the Emperor, long live the Empire! β
When the British and American air crews charged at the Japanese kamikaze with a brave attitude, the Japanese pilots also shouted and screamed, relieving their inner thoughts and fears.
Unfortunately, before they could finish shouting, the Anglo-American air force had already come to them and began to attack with ferocious fire.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"
With the fierce firepower of the British and American troops, more than a dozen Japanese kamikaze planes were destroyed in half of the air in an instant, and the news from this time was reported in the world.
