    The twin-engine "Type One" large land transport aircraft flew very smoothly, and the propellers rotated at high speed, disturbing the flowing clouds. General Yamamoto wore white gloves, slightly closed his eyes, and sat on the seat with a calm face, clasping his hands.  He carries his beloved ancestral "Moon Mountain" saber. This saber has accompanied him for dozens of years in the Imperial Navy and has never left his hand.

    In the spacious cabin, there were only General Yamamoto and five accompanying junior staff officers. The five junior staff officers were sitting far away from General Yamamoto, with awe and admiration in their eyes, looking at the empire in their minds from time to time.  The third god of war is the commander of the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy.

    Within the Japanese Navy, Admiral Yamamoto has almost become a god-like incarnation. The five young staff officers are all extremely proud and proud that they can accompany Commander Yamamoto and become the attach¨¦ of their idol!

    General Yamamoto was not at peace in his heart. Although he and his close friend General Minamino spent several days working out a detailed Australian battle plan, it was not an easy task to control more than two million Imperial Army troops.

    Generally speaking, this combat plan is inconsistent with the original intention of the base camp. The requirement of the base camp is that once all the troops mobilized from the North American battlefield are assembled in northern Australia, they will immediately start a full-line counterattack, striving to defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time.  To annihilate all the independent division troops on the Australian battlefield is to annihilate them, not to defeat or defeat them!

    But the core gist of the battle plan drawn up by Generals Yamamoto and Minamino is.  Don't be in a hurry to counterattack, use a month's time.  Organize your troops into five attack groups, simultaneously.  The base camp is requested to try its best to provide Australian battlefield troops, strengthen land-based aviation and tank troops, increase the number of heavy artillery troops, and also leave ample time for large-scale hoarding of combat supplies.

    According to General Minamino¡¯s calculations, if the Imperial Australian battlefield forces want to achieve the campaign goal of annihilating the independent divisions, they will need at least five joint air groups and more than 1,200 combat aircraft.  In addition to five chariot brigades, 800 taels of tanks, ten field artillery brigades, and more than 900 large-caliber artillery pieces, more than a thousand carrier-based aircraft of the combined fleet must be added to the ground and air  In terms of firepower and armored firepower, it exceeds the firepower of independent divisions on the Australian battlefield.

    ??While General Minamino was sitting on the bench in North America, he did not sit idle all day long.  Ito Yanzaburo did not let him interfere with the affairs of the North American Combat Command, so he chatted with the generals who had fought with the China Independent Division in mainland China and Indochina, and learned a lot about the weapons of the Independent Division.  Equipment and other things.

    General Yamamoto believed in his old friend¡¯s calculations.  He has never fought against the ground troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, but this does not mean that he can underestimate them. There are so many famous imperial army generals.  It can only be explained that they were all damaged in the hands of this person.  This is an extremely formidable and powerful opponent.

    General Yamamoto¡¯s invitation to meet with His Majesty the Emperor was for two reasons.  The first is to persuade His Majesty the Emperor not to rush to launch a counterattack on the Australian battlefield, so as to give the Imperial Army troops buffer time. The second is to require the base camp to meet the above equipment requirements. Otherwise, I would rather wait than wait until the battle is insufficiently prepared.  Under such circumstances, launch a counterattack rashly!

    General Yamamoto knew in his heart that both of these things were very difficult. Given His Majesty's stubborn temper, more than two million elite Imperial Army soldiers had gathered on the Australian continent. If he did not immediately launch a counterattack to kill all the Chinese people, he would not agree.  Yes, maybe he will accuse himself to his face of being a "coward, a coward!"

    In addition, the current war potential of the empire is also worrying. The huge number of weapons and equipment that I have proposed can almost make the empire sell iron. Can the base camp satisfy it, or can it agree?

    In addition, Admiral Yamamoto also had secret talks with His Excellency the Minister of the Navy, His Excellency Nagano Osamu. He planned to split the combined fleet in two, with one part stationed in northern Australia to deter independent divisions trying to go south from the southwest Pacific islands to attack northern Australia, and the other part,  It is to form a task force, which must go to the eastern Indian Ocean to perform the task of cutting off the maritime logistics supply line of the independent division troops on the Australian battlefield.

    As for the candidate for the commander of the task force, Admiral Yamamoto had already made up his mind. His old friend was the former commander of the Imperial Navy task force who was relegated to the sidelines due to his previous unfavorable battle with the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet in the eastern Pacific.  Lieutenant General Guannan Yunzhongyi.

    This is another difficult matter. Nagumo Chuichi has been dismissed from his post for many years. Coupled with his stubborn and unsociable character, his popularity within the navy is very bad. Even the Minister of the Navy, His Excellency Nagano, does not like him very much. He once mentioned to himself  However, "Nagumo Chuichi is not available!" How to convince Nagano-dono to use Nagumo Chuichi?, is also a matter of considerable talk.

    However, in the mind of Admiral Yamamoto, Nagumo Chuichi is still a very suitable candidate for the commander of the task force. He has a calm personality, careful thinking, and maturity. Among the several fleet commanders under the Combined Fleet, counting from the beginning, the First Fleet Commander  Vice Adm. Sushiro Taka, and Vice Adm. Nobutake Kondo, Commander of the Second Fleet.  .  .  .  .  .  Wait, none of them can compare to Nagumo Chuichi's ability.

    Thinking of Takasu Shiro, General Yamamoto felt sad again. If Takasu Shiro did not die for his country, he would be another suitable candidate for the commander of the task force besides Nagumo Chuichi. He could train for a few years and take over his position.  , it may not be known, which is a pity.  .  .  .  .  .

    Several things were intertwined, which made General Yamamoto, who was on his way back home, feel very uncomfortable. He shook his head and temporarily expelled these troublesome things from his mind. He turned to look at the floating white clouds under the wing of the plane, and felt in his heart  Calculating the time silently, he was probably almost over the Northern Mariana Islands. After landing here to refuel, he would be able to set foot on the mainland in two or three hours and meet His Majesty the Emperor. He felt a little hot in his heart.

    Le Yiqin flew the fighter plane through the clouds. After circling for a week, his airborne radar suddenly sounded the alarm "Didi!". He looked over and saw a dozen small black dots on the radar screen.  Move towards your direction.

    "002, have you discovered anything?" Le Yiqin asked Tang Yunfei.

    "Report 001, the radar has discovered that the target formation is moving towards the airspace where our fleet is located. The altitude and heading have not changed. It is expected that it will enter the ambush area of ??our fleet in twenty minutes!" At the same time, Tang Yunfei's airborne radar also discovered that  After hearing Le Yiqin's question, he immediately answered.

    "Good boy!" Le Yiqin nodded with great satisfaction. He just asked a question, but Yunfei didn't understand what he meant immediately, "Attention fleet, 002 commands the left wing formation and is responsible for attacking Japanese escort fighters. Attack time  Five minutes in advance, I will command the right wing formation to kill the target, immediately gain altitude, and prepare to attack!"

    After the order was issued, the Le Yiqin fleet immediately divided into left and right wing formations, like the two ends of an open iron pliers, waiting quietly for Yamamoto Isoroku's plane to come in.

    Twenty minutes later, Yamamoto Isoroku's plane, escorted by ten "Zero" fighter jets, appeared in the field of vision from the clouds below. Yamamoto's plane and the escorting fighter jets were flying at normal altitudes, and were ambush at high altitude.  The Le Yiqin aircraft fleet has an altitude difference of several kilometers.

    Without the use of airborne radar, Le Yiqin could already see Yamamoto Isoroku's aircraft and ten escort fighter jets approaching from below. In an instant, his mind was extremely calm, "Attack!" He issued the order in the formation communication channel  With the simplest order, twenty-two new independent division fighter planes swooped down from high altitudes in two directions at an interval of five minutes, closing fiercely like iron pincers.

    Tang Yunfei flew the fighter plane and pounced almost vertically. The aperture of the sight immediately caught the Japanese Zero fighter that was obviously the leader of the aircraft. At a distance of less than 500 meters, he gently pressed down  Machine gun firing button.

    "Da da da!" Three flames flashed from the nose of the aircraft, like three fire chains, and they were fiercely drawn towards the Japanese fighter. With a loud "Boom!", the Japanese Zero fighter exploded into a ball of fire in the air, intercepting  The air battle to kill Isoroku Yamamoto began.

    The attack from high altitude came so suddenly. After the escorting Japanese fighter commander's plane was turned into a ball of fire, the other escorting Japanese fighter pilots realized that the eleven independent division fighter jets were like ghosts.  , suddenly appeared in front of us. The remaining nine Japanese fighter jets did not panic and immediately fought.

    The deputy commander of the Japanese escort aircraft group immediately took over the command, gritted his teeth and issued the order: "Protect the commander's plane at all costs!" Then, he called to the Northern Mariana Islands Airport: "I am Escort Group Zero.  Deputy Commander Ao Ze, we are under attack from a group of Chinese fighter jets, please support us!"

    The fighter jets from both sides immediately became entangled, and fierce gunshots rang out in the air. At this time, the left wing attack aircraft group commanded by Le Yiqin also arrived. In order to meet the attack of Tang Yun's aircraft group, there were only two Japanese fighter jets escorting them.  The guards surrounding Yamamoto's plane were instantly shattered into pieces by a dense rain of bullets.

    Inside the twin-engine "Type One" large land transport aircraft, General Yamamoto looked at the air battle outside with a calm face. He knew very well that his life had come to an end.

    At this moment, there was no panic in his heart, only endless regret that he could no longer serve the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor. In his field of vision, the figures of four China Independent Division fighter jets grew larger and larger. He closed his eyes  Eye.  .  .  .  .  .

     The target of the twin-engine "Type 1" large land transport aircraft was too obvious, and the speed was slow enough. Le Yiqin was in a very calm mood. She pressed the machine gun firing button and watched several tongues of flame penetrate the fuselage, and then,  The plane began to emit smoke and flames and plummeted to the ground.  .  .  .  .  .
