Because the flying formations carrying out Operation Revenge maintained radio silence, Generals MacArthur and Nimitz were unable to accurately grasp the progress of the operation.

The two of them kept pacing in the naval headquarters, looking a little anxious.

The damage report has been handed over to them. The losses caused by the Japanese Sakura fighters are no less than that of a small fleet.

In the process of advancing towards Japan, such attacks will definitely become more frequent and more violent.

There is currently no effective way to restrain suicide attacks.

What they want to hear most now is the news that the Japanese combined fleet Yamamoto Isoroku was shot down.

Lieutenant Commander Mitchell, who was waiting in the ambush area, looked at his watch every few dozen seconds.

Yamamoto Isoroku is an extremely punctual person, and his plane should arrive in this airspace within a minute or two.

Major Mitchell was nervous and looking forward to it.

This kind of action is enough to be recorded in history, and every pilot who participated in the action will leave his name in history. Mitchell tilted his head and looked at his formation with excitement.

The 16 P38s were hidden in their respective positions, just waiting for the prey to enter the encirclement.

As time passed by, Michelle's nervousness turned into confusion.

…………

All nine escorting Zero fighters were diverted away by six J-3s.

When the Zero fighter jets fought with the J-3s and were shot down one by one, the medium bomber Yamamoto Isoroku was aboard was completely exposed to the cannons of Zhang Aiguo and his wingman.

The J-3 fighter is equipped with two 23mm cannons and a 37mm cannon.

After the attack began, Zhang Aiguo and his wingman simultaneously selected the 37mm cannon.

There is no other reason. It has a large caliber and is powerful.

The Japanese medium bomber was diving rapidly, but it seemed too bulky in front of the J-3.

The bomber pilot tried his best to make an emergency landing on a nearby island.

But it will take at least two or three minutes for the bomber to land safely on the ground.

This time is enough for Zhang Aiguo and his wingmen to launch dozens of attacks.

The 37mm shells easily broke through the bulkhead of the bomber. The shells hit from two directions, broke the wings, smashed the engine, and killed the entourage in the cabin.

The plane completely lost control and the pilot shouted unwillingly.

Yamamoto Isoroku's face and uniform were splashed with red spots. He was hit by shell fragments in many places on his body, and blood began to gush out.

Compared to other disabled people, his situation is pretty good.

The cabin was riddled with holes, and Yamamoto Isoroku could see the Chinese fighter jets that continued to attack, as well as the black smoke-belching engines and broken wings.

The pilot tried his best to save the plane, but it was impossible to save it.

When the plane completely lost control, the cockpit pilot turned to look at Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto Isoroku.

His eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions.

Fear, despair, shame of incompetence, etc.

Yamamoto Isoroku and the pilot looked at each other for half a second, and the next moment the cockpit and the rear cabin separated. He watched with his own eyes as the two pilots turned into pieces flying in the sky in the explosion.

The bomber broke into multiple segments, and the wreckage spun and drifted toward the ground.

At this moment, Yamamoto Isoroku could not think of anything, and his body fell downwards together with the wreckage.

The howling wind is in my ears, and the green island is in front of me.

The pilot tried his best, but the final result was that the wreckage of the fighter plane did not fall into the sea, but fell into an unknown island.

"Boom boom boom..."

Before his consciousness fell into the endless abyss, Yamamoto Isoroku clearly saw the outline of the island below, like withered cherry blossom petals rising and falling in the endless sea.

In order to completely kill Yamamoto Isoroku, Zhang Aiguo and his wingman did not give up the attack after the medium bomber was broken into several segments.

They continued to output firepower until the cabin was reduced to pieces flying in the sky.

What fell into the unnamed island were burning pieces of the plane. Almost none of the wreckage was complete. It was impossible for Yamamoto Isoroku to survive under such circumstances.

Other fighters in the formation also ended the battle one after another. They flew over the unnamed island at a very low altitude, and only after confirming that no one survived did Zhang Aiguo order the team to close.

The cheers of the soldiers rang out from the communicator, and Zhang Aiguo himself was very excited.

The battle lasted no more than 5 minutes, and Yamamoto Isoroku and all the escorting fighters were shot down.

Zhang Aiguo suddenly remembered that in the airspace further north, US Navy pilots should still be ambushing.

He was in a good mood and commanded the formation to fly in that direction.

Major Mitchell, who had been waiting impatiently, finally heard the report from the nearby pilot.

"The target has been found and is approaching at high speed!"

Mitchell felt happy and quickly looked up.

The enemy formation was just a few small black dots a second ago, but soon it was in sight.

Mitchell and the ambushing pilots soon realized that this was not Yamamoto's formation at all.

p38 still stayed in its original position, not daring to move rashly.

Six J-3 jet fighters rushed through the middle of two P38 formations at high speed, and the tail flames of the jet engines disappeared like meteors.

Mitchell broke out in cold sweat all over his body. The high-speed J-3 made a circle and headed straight towards his formation.

The wireless communicator sounded the voices of other pilots asking what to do.

Before Mitchell could make up his mind, the fighter plane passed through them again at high speed and finally disappeared into the colorful clouds to the west.

The two pilots of the P38 formation were silent for more than ten seconds. They kept turning their heads and looking at the surrounding airspace, fearing that they would be intimidated again.

After confirming that the jet fighter had really left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

What followed was intense frustration and boredom.

It is certain that Yamamoto Isoroku's plane has been shot down by a Chinese fighter jet.

After completing the mission, the other party still had room to play tricks on itself, and simply did not pay attention to the "two-pronged devil" that spanned the Pacific and Southeast Asia.

It’s frustrating, it’s really frustrating.

Major Mitchell hammered the engine room hard several times. China was bullying them too much, but they were powerless.

At this moment, Mitchell felt the same as General Slim and Marquis Hope.

Two minutes later, Mitchell ordered all P38s to assemble and conduct reconnaissance along the flight path of the Yamamoto Fifty-six aircraft.

Soon after, they saw the burning remains of Japanese aircraft on the island and floating on the sea.

Isoroku Yamamoto is over, but this honor will not go to American soldiers.

Mitchell once again lamented that China was bullying others too much, and then commanded the formation to return.

MacArthur and General Nimitz received the news that Yamamoto's Isor6 aircraft had been shot down almost at the same time as Japanese Lieutenant General Muto on Luzon Island.

This was good news worth drinking champagne to celebrate, but after listening to Mitchell's detailed report, both of them fell silent, and Farke couldn't say anything.

Muto felt an unprecedented fear. At this moment, he truly realized that Japan was likely to be defeated and fall into a situation of no return.

After being frightened, the Japanese lieutenant general issued a confidential order while sending people to the Bashi Channel to search for the wreckage of the fighter plane.
