readx; Originally, the rear admiral was to sit on the "Enterprise" to command Task Force 38, but due to the arrival of Vice Admiral Halsey, Mitchell was ordered to lead a part of Task Force 32, originally numbered, to transport 183,000 land attack troops and 740,000 tons of war supplies to the Okinawa battlefield. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He had to escort 430 large transport ships. Most of these transports were still loaded on Leyte Island and Seattle, and the burden on the rear admiral's shoulders was not easy. And in charge of the command of the battle at sea was Vice Admiral Halsey. The vice admiral sat aboard his flagship, the USS Missouri, and he was so dissatisfied with fighting under the command of his fellow general, Vice Admiral Spruance, that in his words, "as long as he can fight and kill himself, whoever commands it is the same!" ”

This general has a total of more than 680 combat ships under his command, including nearly 30 large aircraft carriers, and if you add the escort aircraft carriers, Vice Admiral Halsey commands nearly 80 aircraft carriers and nearly 5,000 aircraft, which is not a small number. For this reason, the 'bull' general is satisfied, and he doesn't care who is commanding him! Besides, he had considerable autonomy, and in addition to leaving a part of the battleships, heavy cruisers, and destroyers to cover the landing of the landing force and shelling Okinawa, he could lead the fleet to the Seto Inland Sea or Yokohama, and no one would accuse him. But not now, not so. He must first ensure the safety of the fleet itself in this campaign. Of course, the commander-in-chief of the air force consisting of all 5000 aircraft was Colonel Kospel.

Ma Debi still established his headquarters on the Enterprise. It was the only campaign command ship that did not raise the flag. Madden recalled a conversation with Admiral Nimitz and Admiral Redstel, the acting secretary of the Admiralty, that happened on the day the Enterprise was awarded. Admiral Nimitz said bluntly to Ma Debi:

"General, the Navy needs you! We especially want to see a blue flag flying on the 'Enterprise', which may be more noble and valuable to this legendary warship. It is also worthy of the honor it has received. I believe that this is also what all the officers and men on board the Enterprise are looking forward to. Are you right? ”

Admiral Redstall also said:

"General, the President wants me to greet you on his behalf, he owes you a 'Medal of Honor', which he will personally hang on the General's chest after the end of the war!"

On April 1, 1945, Easter Sunday, the powerful fleet of the U.S. Navy sailed to Okinawa. The heavy shelling of naval artillery and the roar of aircraft woke up Vice Admiral Niu Mandao and his men.

The shelling and bombardment peaked at 10 a.m. At the same time, a large group of frogmen began to clear the mines they had set up on and under the beach under the cover of artillery fire.

The soldiers on the battlefield were both admiring and saddened to see the more than 1,300 ships and thousands of planes in the air gathered on the sea of Okinawa. On that day, 27,526 shells and bombs were dropped on the island of Okinawa, and the shelling and bombardment appeared to have destroyed the surname, but the fortifications on the main line of defense of the Japanese army remained intact. Major General Brandy, who commanded the landing, said:

"Preparations are complete, and the landing can begin!"

In the fortifications, he obeyed the order and did not fire a single shot, and the campaign of the coalition forces to attack Okinawa began!

On 6 April, the 5th Task Force was sailing in the waters off Okinawa. The nearly 400-nautical-mile voyage from Iwo Jima to Okinawa is easy and enjoyable. Except for the fighter groups that were on guard duty over the fleet, which took turns taking off and landing on various aircraft carriers, there were no planes or warships to disturb these American armed voyagers who had traveled far and wide. Not even a single submarine was found. The radar's phosphor screen was bare, and there was nothing but the echo of the waves. On April 5, the fleet had a day of bad weather, with rain and clouds, but not much wind and waves. By the early morning of the 6th, the weather would clear. Neither good weather nor bad weather could prevent the Americans from capturing Okinawa. On the wide ocean, more than 1,200 warships of the 5th Task Force formed a huge phalanx and rushed unstoppably towards the last fortress in the Pacific Ocean that he had resisted.

"I said that these shrimp soldiers are really getting more and more ineffective, and God testifies, fighting with them is getting more and more boring!"

Little Benz sat comfortably in a chair, and he took a sip of the hot coffee in his cup, the coffee was piping hot, but little Benz was always willing to drink it like this. He was so happy that he almost hummed!

The flight cap was used by him to cushion the cup, and he said with emotion:

"That's a good point." Kauft squinted at little Benz and said:

"However, Mr. Flight Captain, you need not worry about my own plane, I believe you can deal with them completely. But you have to be careful with your anti-aircraft artillery, you don't want to set a new record in the history of the scary world war that was shot down by your own people for the second time! ”

"you! Last time, we were unlucky, and we dreamed of catching a black octopus. That anti-aircraft gunner Bill is a blind cat and bumped into the dead old man! Wrong! It's a live tiger that hit us carelessly. Who knew they would be attacked by their own people? I can't be blamed for that. This guy picked up a bargain, it's an 'own goal', you know? Otherwise, let him try 10 more shots with his broken anti-aircraft cannon, I'm afraid he won't even be able to touch the edge of the plane."

Little Benz shook his head and said solemnly, almost choking on coffee, causing the officers in the command room to laugh.

"Mr. Koft is right, and I want you to be more careful. I don't want someone to get carried away and give his life to me when I am about to see victory. Major Guy, Major Mack, and you, Mr. Philip Benz, you all need to be more vigilant. The more I get to the end, the more desperate I will be. He said that he was like a gambler who was about to lose out, leaving only a crotch cloth, or like a mad dog in the water, and it was not to be underestimated to initiate ruthlessness. He is stupid and self-righteous, arrogant and pretentious. There's a story that illustrates this. Liu Xirui stood in front of the map table in the command room, and he used a holster with a pistol to make the table, and said to his friends who were born and died, and shared weal and woe.

"Liu! Let's talk about it! Anyway, there was no war. I'll pour you a hot cup of coffee to refresh you, and tell your story a little more energetically! ”

Little Benz hurriedly handed over a freshly poured cup of steaming coffee. The others also stared at Liu Xirui intently, and their ears stood up.

"Wow!" Liu Xirui took a sip of coffee, which made him stammer, inhaled the cold air, and scolded Xiao Benz viciously:

'You're committing murder, can you drink this coffee?' Little Benz laughed wryly: "I'm sorry! I forgot you don't drink hot coffee, I'm really sorry! Are you okay! ”

"Of course it's fine! Can a small cup of coffee stump our Colonel? I said, Mr. Bentz, you are as self-righteous as you are, do you think that everyone drinks piping hot coffee like you? Liu, ignore him, let's talk about myself! Everyone is waiting! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Koft wasted no time in slapping the ass and damaging little Benz.

"Okay!" Liu Xirui licked his hot lips and said slowly:

"One day, a plane flew over the Pacific Ocean. There were 3 people on the plane, a Chinese, an American and a person. Unexpectedly, the plane broke down in the middle of the flight. In order for the plane to continue to fly forward and land safely, two people must jump off the plane, and only one person can be left. On board the plane there was only one parachute. Which two people jumped? And who can use this only parachute? The three people looked at each other and couldn't hold each other. The situation is getting more and more critical, and if no decision is made, the plane will crash. Then God came out and spoke. And God said, I have three stalks of grass here, two long and one short, and you should take turns to draw them. Draw to the long jump off the plane, draw to the short to stay. However, the person who jumped the plane, I can meet one of his requests in an orderly manner. However, this requirement can only be put forward for people and things in the real environment, and must not go beyond this scope. Indeed, this approach is fair to all three people. The first to draw lots was the Americans, and unfortunately, this guy drew a long lot. The Americans thought for a moment and said, I can jump off the plane, my request is to take that parachute with me. God agreed, and the Americans jumped out of the plane with a parachute on their backs. The second lottery was made by Yue himself, this little Yue Ben was lucky, he actually drew a short lot, he laughed proudly, he gave up the door, gloating and wanting to see the Chinese jump out of the plane. The rest must be a long stick, no need to draw. The Chinese spread their hands and said to God helplessly, can you really fulfill one of my requests unconditionally? God replied, of course"

"Report sir!"

With a shout, a staff officer broke into the command room.

"Mr. Colonel, the flagship sent a signal and found a group of about 400 aircraft, 220 nautical miles away, 10 degrees north-west, please Colonel decide whether to attack!"

Liu Xirui said to Kauft: "Lieutenant Colonel, give an order, all the fighters of the fleet will be lifted into the air, the patrol fleet serving as a guard will be increased to 60, and the rest of the fighters will attack with me." The bombers and torpedo planes on the aircraft carriers are ready to take to the skies at any time. Signal back to the flagship, suggesting that the fleet form an anti-aircraft formation and deploy anti-aircraft fire. ”

Liu Xirui said as he put on his belt and pistol and walked out, the command room became agitated, and the officers rushed out. Little Benz asked as he ran:

"Liu! Did the Chinese jump out of the plane? What a request he made! ”

Liu Xirui glanced at him and said angrily:

"What else! The Chinese said to God, come! Throw this damn little devil off the plane and throw me down! ”

The flying officers, who were running wildly, couldn't help but take a break, and immediately fell to the ground with their stomachs in their hands and laughing.

Fuchida Tsumio Osa is the top of the Daimyo in the Morimoto Naval Aviation. If you want to say how many US fighters he shot down and how many vicious battles he fought, it is not necessarily. He, together with Minoru Harada and Nagano Shoichi Osa, are known as the "Three Musketeers" in the naval aviation.

Fuchida is 32 years old this year, and he is in the prime of life, but he really hasn't fought a few decent battles. He is an expert in aviation, but also an expert in tactics. Before the Pearl Harbor attack, Fuchida was still a junior at the time, and he served as the captain of the Second Air Force on the aircraft carrier "Akagi". The fleet he led trained hard and achieved remarkable results during the exercise. It was appreciated and trusted by the commander of the Combined Fleet at the time, Admiral Goo Yamamoto [***]. When the "Hawaii Combat Plan" was carried out by the Navy, Fuchida was personally named by General Yamamoto and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the air. This guy did live up to expectations, and he led a successful raid on Pearl Harbor.

The famous coded telegram "Torah! Torah! Torah! It was sent from his command plane at the time. Since then, not only himself, but people all over the world have remembered this letter, which is called "Tiger!" in Chinese. Tiger! Tiger! The telegram and the dispatch of the telegram to the commander Fuchida Tsumio Nakasa. Fuchida became famous, but this did not mean that he would hand in good luck from now on, on the contrary, Fuchida was very unlucky after that battle.

During the Battle of Midway, he was supposed to be the commander-in-chief of the air, but in the first two days of the Mobile Force fleet's arrival in the waters of Midway, he suddenly had a stomachache, and the ship's military doctor diagnosed him with appendicitis. There's no way to go to heaven! He could only watch as Osa Nagano replaced him.

At the Battle of Midway, the army was defeated. When the "Akagi" sank, Fuchida was rescued on the cruiser "Chikuma". When these remnants of the defeated soldiers returned to their original books, all the wounded, sick, officers and soldiers were isolated and "protected" in order to prevent the news of the defeat from leaking out, so as not to affect morale. After Fuchida recovered from his illness, he was transferred back to the Naval Command Department by an order and served as the chief of the Naval Aviation Training Division. It is said that the navy has long realized that in order to win a naval war, it will not work by relying only on strong ships and artillery. There must be a large number of well-trained pilots, and Yuantian's mission is of great significance and the burden is not light. He devoted himself to this work and trained a large number of naval pilots.

However, Fuchida always felt that something was getting more and more wrong, and despite the efforts of the military headquarters to block all unfavorable news, he still heard the officers and cadets talking in private, and judging from all kinds of signs, the situation of the battle was becoming more and more unfavorable to him. This can also be seen from the cycle of his pilot training, Fuchida Daisa's requirement that each pilot training must fly for more than 300 hours before graduation, and the start was not bad. It can reach this level. However, with the development of the war situation, the pilots were consumed a lot, and the reports of the pilots who were required to supplement them flew back to the base camp like snowflakes, and under the urging and strict orders of the superiors, the training time of the cadets was constantly shortened, 250 hours, 200 hours, 150 hours, 100 hours, 80 hours, and in the end it was only more than 10 hours.

Fuchida Tsu Mio Daisa was extremely angry, which was tantamount to his own irresponsible personal delivery of these young people to the guns of the American plane. He protested several times and submitted his resignation no less than 5 times, and finally his boss was impatient with him.

It just so happened that the base camp was forming a flying division to defend the homeland, and Fuchida was transferred to the combat unit as the 16th Flying Division for the defense of the homeland, and the 78th Fighter Wing as the captain. Fuchida finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately realized that the situation was not enough to make him optimistic. At this time, it was said that the current war situation was unfavorable, and the Americans had already come to their doorstep, which was already an open "secret."

Fuchida's wing was stationed on Jiuyi Island, and the wing had a total of 71 fighters. Half of them were improved "Zero" fighters, and the other half were old models, and the fighters used in the early days of the war should have been eliminated, but there was too much shortage of aircraft, and it was very good to have these planes to fill the list. If this is just the case, Fuchida Daisa is so-so, but it is acceptable. But there are two other problems that are deadly. First, more than 80% of the pilots in the wing are too tender and too vegetable, and even most of them have just learned to fly and land. What air combat? What tactical moves? What formations? I don't understand it at all, and I'm at a loss. It's just a group of baby soldiers in flight suits, can this go to the sky to fight?

Fuchida could have hurried to train them. But here comes the second question again, gasoline, fuel for airplanes. This is almost going to kill Captain Fuchida! Gasoline is in short supply. All the fuel tanks of his wing were full, but this was not something that could be used casually, and even wing commander Fuchida did not have this power. There must be an order from the division headquarters for the plane to take off. Usually! It's a good-looking ornament that can't be used! Even patrols are not allowed. They can only wait on the ground. The second is that half of this gasoline is pine oil, which is boiled from the bark and roots of pine trees, which not only has poor fuel value, but also lacks explosive power. With this kind of mixed fuel, the surname of the "Zero" machine can be greatly reduced, at least half of it cannot be used.

But Yuantian has no way, saying that the army is in short supply of military materials, which is a problem that cannot be solved at all, and it is very good to be able to do this. When Fuchida knew that the US "B-29" heavy bombers were bombing Tokyo day and night, and that the US Navy had captured Iwo Jima and was approaching Okinawa, he knew that the defeat of the US Navy was inevitable, and that his own final day was approaching, and that the Americans would never let go of him, the culprit who personally commanded the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

On 6 April, when the long-awaited day arrived, Fuchita's wing was ordered to cover the bomber and torpedo attack groups and set off to attack the U.S. Navy fleet in the Ryukyu Islands. A total of 220 bombers and torpedo attack aircraft were sorted, covered by 140 fighters of two wings of "Zero" fighters. Unbeknownst to him, behind their fleet were 350 kamikaze planes. At 8 a.m., the fleet took off. Fuchida organized the 71 "Zero" planes of his 78th Fighter Wing into a dense formation, which was too backward, but Fuchida had to do so.

Because it took nearly two hours to fly from Kudai to the Ryukyu Islands, and the range was as far as 500 nautical miles, he was worried that if the rookie pilots under his command spread too far apart, they would fall behind and get lost, and they would not even be able to find their way back. As for how many people will survive and return to the airport after the battle, there is really nothing he can do, so try their luck!

The weather wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either. There is no bright sunlight, but the clouds are not thick, basically only a faint cloud, just enough to block out the sun's rays. Cal. Major Festin led his flying squadron on the right flank of the vast fleet of American troops. The US military has about 800 "shrew" fighters, which is not a small number. Major Festin was the leader of a fighter flight squadron aboard the aircraft carrier "Hancock".

The aircraft carrier "Hancock" is a heavy aircraft carrier belonging to the "Yorktown" class, which is of the same type and class as the "Enterprise". The "Hancock" carried 148 carrier-based aircraft, and Major Festin's fighter squadron had a total of 57 aircraft. Today, however, only 51 aircraft were dispatched, and 6 aircraft were being repaired in the hangar due to breakdowns of various sizes, but this attendance rate had reached about 90 percent, which was not bad. Major Festin can also be regarded as an old ace pilot, and he is also well-known among fighter pilots.

He was one of the first American volunteer pilots to leave the Callavillar carrier-based aircraft training base and go to the United Kingdom. In the Battle of England, which helped the British against the Germans, he recorded seven German planes in his account. 2 Stukat; 1 Junker 88, 2 Misser 109 and 2 Misser 110. But he himself was shot down by the Germans once, and when he parachuted to escape, he fell on a rock pile by the strait, causing a fracture of his right lower leg, and was forced to lie in the hospital for nearly four months.

When he was transferred back to China to the Pacific theater, he originally intended to go to the "Enterprise" with Benz Jr., and his old friend, Liu, a companion of the Calavillar Carrier-based Pilot Training Base, served as the flight commander on the "Enterprise", and this guy was already a colonel.

When old friends get together, this conversation must be more impressive. But his luck was really flattering, and little Benz even coaxed him into the "Enterprise," but the lieutenant colonel with a full beard in the Navy Personnel Department refused to be accommodating at all, and no matter how much he cried and shouted and threatened and lured, the lieutenant colonel did not move, and resolutely threw him onto the "Hancock" to be the captain of the fighter squadron.

At first, Mr. Festine was depressed, but soon he liked his new position. It is good to be able to issue a command, but the important thing is that this aircraft carrier has been with the "Enterprise" in every operation, and from the beginning of the attack on the Gilbert Islands to the current hit to the Ryukyu Islands, these two heavy aircraft carriers have not been separated. This made him very happy.

Although I can't meet with little Benz every day and talk nonsense, it's the same. What's more, every time this guy is serving as an air commander, it is still possible to say hello to each other through the intercom radio after flying the plane. It's nice to be able to talk at such a close distance!

Festin looked at a black spot on the cockpit glass on the right, he was very strange in his heart, this is a fly from somewhere, it has been stuck to the glass for a long time but it doesn't move, and the high-altitude air current has not blown it away, what a capability! He looked at it again, and he almost didn't laugh out loud. What flies? It was a small piece of chewing gum that was spit out of my mouth when I boarded the plane, how could it stick to the glass of the cockpit? Whatever it is! Anyway, it doesn't affect flight operations. Major Festin looked to the left again, good! Oh, my God! The U.S. fighter jet was black, at least he didn't see the side. With so many planes dispatched, it's enough for a little devil to drink a pot! Since coming to the Pacific Theater, Festin has shot down 8 planes and 4 "Zero" planes; Three "Type 97" torpedo attack planes and one "No. 1" land-attack horizontal bomber are veritable ace pilots.

He felt that it was much easier and more enjoyable to fight with him than with the Germans. Not only do the Americans have more planes than they do, but they also have a much stronger surname than their own planes, and they can fight almost as much as they want, and they do not have the feeling of being scared, lucky, and cautious when they were in Britain when they were in the UK and playing with the Germans in a Spitfire. After many aerial battles, he hardly felt any danger. This guy Liu has always used the method of fighting more and fighting less, and bullying the small with a large number of large aircraft, and he will win every battle, he really has him!

The group flew straight northwest at an altitude of 6,500 meters. Festin's landline number is also "9", because Liu also flies on the "Enterprise" with the number 9, but the letter in front of Liu's "9" number is an uppercase "e", while the letter in front of the "9" of Festin's plane is a capital "K". This is the aircraft logo on different aircraft carriers, so that people will not be mistaken at a glance. It had been 35 minutes since he had been flying northwest, and Major Festin was in a rambling thought, when his familiar voice came from his headphones:

"I'm a Seal 9, I'm a Seal 9! Spot fish, spot fish, height 6000, large number, 10 point direction! Follow me, pay attention to mutual protection, and the fishing begins! ”

Festin glanced out of the cockpit, where the group of planes in the lead began to turn to the left, and he muttered:

"! It was this kid Liu who discovered himself first, and I'm afraid this guy's eyes are better than radar! I don't know how to practice it, I kind of obeyed him! ”

Major Festin swung his wings and asked his squadron to follow him. He swung his longitudinal pole to the left, and the "shrew-style" obediently bent to the left, and behind his plane, more than 40 US carrier-based fighters also turned at the same time. Two minutes later, the pilots saw that directly in front of them, a dense black dot appeared and flew head-on, which was called the local group. About 1,200 or so combat aircraft on both sides collided together. In the sky over the waters of the Ryukyu Islands, the United States and the United States said that the decisive battle of the aircraft group began.

Mio Fuchida Tsumio Osa also spotted a group of U.S. planes, which was about 80 nautical miles away from the U.S. fleet off the coast of Okinawa. It is no secret that the US military has shipborne radars and can detect them from a long distance. Fuchida also had no intention of keeping his whereabouts secret. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, for a Yamato samurai, it is an honor to fight the enemy with dignity, regardless of victory or defeat. Sneaking tactics can only be done occasionally, for example, by sneaking up on Pearl Harbor or something. So far, if you still think that the Americans have not learned their lesson and can succeed frequently by sneak attacks, then the sneak attacker himself is a fool who is more stupid than a fool, and the first person to die must have been he Fukita shook his wings and sent a signal, and all the "Zero" planes threw away the auxiliary fuel tanks. The group of planes began to accelerate, and Fuchida must lead his men to break a path through the American fleet, otherwise the group of bombers and torpedo attack planes that followed closely behind the fighter group would not only fail to fly over the US fleet, but would suffer a catastrophe. This is certainly true. The distance was getting closer and closer, and seeing the huge number of US fighter jets, there were more than 800 planes, and Fuchida's heart was furious.

These US planes are all small carrier-based fighters, dense and boundless, while their own side has only two wings, with a total of 141 fighters. The rest were bombers with poor maneuverability and bombs, and dive attack planes with torpedoes, all of which numbered only about 350, accounting for less than half of the number of US planes. The Americans can drown their own fleet with the tactics of the sea, and this is not counting the gap in the quality of the pilots. Not only have the quality and quantity of US pilots been fully guaranteed after a long period of training, but most of the fighter pilots are veterans of all kinds of battles.

On the other hand, most of them are novices, but now they can't manage these things. Unless the Americans fight their way through the fleet, otherwise the group will not only fail to complete the task of attacking the US Navy fleet, but will also be dead and dead. But things changed faster than he thought. Fuchida saw that about 300 US "shrew" fighters were rushing towards them in front of them, and on the left and right sides, there were two teams each, and each team of about 300 US fighters began to turn, with the obvious intention of bypassing the group of bombers and torpedo planes behind them.

These two groups of US planes are like two prawn pincers, stretching straight behind Fuchita's fighter group, and if the Americans succeed in their attempt, not only Fuchida but also the entire aircraft unit will be encircled. Fuchida had to admire the air commander of the US military for making such a correct decision in an instant, and this would immediately put the military aircraft group in a predicament.

If the fighters meet them head-on, the bombers and torpedo planes behind will inevitably lose cover and become live targets for the US fighters. Even if the "Zero" was able to barely make a way through, the mission could not be completed without bombers and torpedo planes, and the battle on this trip could be regarded as a failure. Don't use fighter jets to attack enemy warships! It was a mosquito biting an elephant, and it didn't work at all. But there was no time left for Fuchida Daisa to make a decision, and in his haste, Fuchida issued an order that he regretted all of his life.

He wanted the group to split into two lanes, avoid the impact of the frontal US planes, and meet the US planes on the left and right. He began to turn left with a group of "Zeros", and another team of "Zeros" had just turned to the right at the orders he had given. It couldn't be worse!

The two groups said that their own fighters exposed their flanks, and the US planes rushed wildly, and eight "Zero" fighters were hit in the first round of attacks. Three of them exploded in the air, and five of them rolled and fell from the air with black smoke and flames. The rest of the "zero" planes of the army could not continue to turn, and they did not care about the formation, and turned back to the nose of the plane to meet the battle bravely. He said that his fleet immediately became very chaotic, and the US planes took the opportunity to storm it. Nearly a thousand planes were fighting in the sky. Some dived, some rolled, some pursued, and some fled for their lives. The fire flashed, the guns rang out in unison, and the American plane and the plane danced "Rumba" in this airspace; "Tango" and the seemingly elegant but deadly "international ballroom dance".

Yuantian drove the "Zero" plane headlong into a large fleet of US planes on the right, and his landline plane was followed by only more than 10 "Zero" planes, and the rest were scattered by the US planes.

In fact, although thousands of planes on both sides fought in this airspace, the sky was vast and open, and there were no restrictions. The range of motion of the flight is large. However, it is a pity that the time left for the pilots to engage the enemy is very short, and it is very difficult to grasp the opportunity to shoot at the opponent, and the time for shooting down the enemy plane is only a few seconds or even a few tenths of a second. As soon as the plane rushed into the US military fleet, the US plane formation was thrown into chaos, but this confusion did not last too long, only a few seconds. The US planes immediately took on the shape of a two-plane fighter and began to encircle and annihilate these planes. On the other hand, some US planes continued to rush towards the group of bombers and torpedo attack planes that were still flying forward in a regular manner behind the "Zero" group.

In the moment of confusion of the US plane, Fuchida lassoed a "shrew-style", and the 20-mm cannon on the nose of the "Zero" aircraft spat out tongues of fire, and in the scope directly in front of the driver's seat, the US plane paused, flames erupted from the fuselage, long black smoke spewed out, and the nose of the plane began to fall as soon as it was lowered. Before Mio Fuchida had time to rejoice, he was attacked by a U.S. plane. Two U.S. fighter jets rushed almost perpendicular to his fuselage at 3 o'clock, the nose and wings of the fuselage glittering with fire, a dense stream of machine-gun bullets shooting straight through, pink bright spots constantly skimming past the "Zero" plane, and bouncing left and right on his fuselage.

Fuchida increased the throttle and violently pulled the longitudinal rod back, and the "Zero" plane raised its nose and flew up quickly, getting rid of the opponent's firing line, and the two US planes roared past his tail one after the other. Fuchida's plane rolled sideways, flattened, and then dived down from 6,500 meters in the air. He saw that the bomber and torpedo attack planes had been dispersed by the US planes, and that the two "96" bombers directly in front of him had already ignited a large fire, like two big candles. Unexpectedly, a small group of about five bombers was chased by the US planes and fled in panic from the east, west, south, and north to the south, and the direction of escape was not Okinawa but the direction of Jiuyi Island, where they came.

Not far away, two US "shrew-type" planes were closely following the two planes, one of which was a Type 1 land-attack bomber and the other was a Type 97 torpedo attack plane. The pilots of these two planes obviously attached much more importance to the task of attacking the enemy fleet than their own lives and deaths, and they continued to fly forward with great courage, while the gunners in the tail of the planes fiercely fired at the rapidly approaching American fighters. The two US pilots chasing them were obviously veterans of air combat, and the "shrew-style" almost rushed over at the blind angle of the tail gun shot, and the US planes were not in a hurry to open fire, and the distance between the two sides was gradually narrowing. As long as this situation continues for another 20 seconds or so, these two planes will definitely not be able to escape. Fuchida was in a hurry, he pushed the longitudinal rod forward with all his might, and opened the throttle to the maximum, the engine of the "Zero" machine roared like thunder, but the explosive power of the mixed fuel was really limited, and the speed did not seem to be as fast as the pilot pilots of this plane had hoped.

Fuchida was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood, and the damn engine speed was still rising slowly, and the speed couldn't be faster at all. Nine out of ten pilots would have suffered a heart attack in a war with such a very poor fuel value, and one of them died of a sudden death before he could get sick. He watched as the fuselage of the first US plane was a fighter with a big "K9" number and opened fire, and the machine gun projectiles fired by the "shrew" jumped on the fuselage of the "Type 97" torpedo attack plane like fried beans, and a blood-red and brilliant red light burst out from the tail of the torpedo attack plane, the tail cannon no longer sounded, and the debris of the plane flew in the air one after another.

The "1" land-attack bomber was also hit by another US plane, and with the sound of "Peng", flames erupted from the engine. Both planes lost control, and the planes spun and went to sea with a wail. All this happened in front of the eyes of the captain of the Fuchida Wing, as if he was laughing at him for his poor cover and inability to command, and Dazuo's mixed blood was about to coagulate, and then he was furious. He rushed frantically, and at this time the engine of the "Zero" engine had reached its limit, and the fuselage shook as if it was about to fall apart. Fuchida didn't care about anything, and he lunged towards the second "Vixen" a little later. As soon as the opponent's fuselage appeared in the scope, Fuchida pressed the firing buttons of the 20mm cannon and the 7.7mm rapid-fire machine gun on the wing.

The US fighter did not expect that a "Zero" plane would attack it from behind, and before it could recover from the joy of shooting down a "Type 1" bomber, it was hit by a 20-mm cannon shell fired by Fuchida at the tail of the plane, which exploded next to the tail elevator, and the tail of the "Vixen" fighter was blown off, and a large piece of the left wing was cut off by the flying shrapnel. The engine also appears to be malfunctioning. Although there was no smoke, the sound was a little choppy and not normal. This fighter and the "1" land-attack bomber that was shot down by it and still on fire fell one after another to the sea, and the bomber fell into the sea and splashed a high column of water, while the American fighter that had been hit by a machine shell was leveled out when it was close to the sea, and it staggered away in a southeasterly direction and broke away from the battlefield.

Mio Fuchida Tsumio Osa looked at the fleeing American fighter jet in amazement, he could hardly believe this fact!
