I am helping

"Shet!"

"It's not our planes that are firing, there are other planes, there are other planes!"

The sudden situation was beyond the expectations of all American pilots, Lieutenant Lanphier's wingman said loudly.

"Other planes?"

"This is impossible!"

Lieutenant Lanphier spoke loudly, and finally stabilized the plane, when he suddenly saw two black shadows flashing in front of him like flying swords.

"Oh God, they're so fast!"

The horrified voice of Lieutenant Moore, the leader of the second squad, rang out over the radio.

Lieutenant Lanphier, who had not yet figured out the situation, quickly turned the nose of the plane and prepared to circle back to shoot again, when he heard the voice of Major Michel in the headset again: "Attack group, attack group, two Zeros are heading towards you!"

Lieutenant Lanphier saw two Zero fighters suddenly flying towards him from the right rear: "Damn it!"

Yu Hengchan only heard a huge explosion in his ears, and his consciousness fell into endless loneliness and darkness.

In the dense rain of bullets, Lieutenant Lanphier suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane to evade...

The wings fell off and the fuselage plunged into the dense forest like a red fireball.

But before he had time to grieve further, Yu Hengchan felt the fuselage shaking cracklingly, as if it was being hit by something.

Subsequently, under the siege of eight US P8 fighters, two more Zero fighters were shot down.

But Li Shaorong didn't intend to join in the fun and let the Japanese and the American army fight each other.

Lieutenant Lanphier steadied the plane and looked to the right, just in time to see four jet fighters blowing up the two Zero fighters that were attacking him.

Li Shaorong looked at the four Japanese Zeros that were fighting with the US Air Force, and then ordered: "The mission has been successfully completed, let's retreat!"

"Da da da…"

"The bomber on the right has been shot down!"

at the same time.

Therefore, at the first moment, the plane of Lieutenant General Yu Hengchan, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, was not attacked.

The American pilot who was responsible for keeping an eye on the Eighth Route Army fighter plane couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes filled with horror: "Oh, God, what a fast speed."

"The bomber on the left has been shot down!"

If it was his own plane, he would definitely shout "Well done!"

"I don't know." Lieutenant Moore said, "Their target is the Japs, and they don't seem to be hostile to us!"

"Fuck!" Lieutenant Lanphier asked loudly, "Who are these fighter planes that appeared?"

Although Yu Hengchan did not hear the explosion, he could see that the No. 1 plane was instantly blown up, and the wings were engulfed in purple flames, fire and debris.

"Don't worry about it!" Major Michel shouted, "Let's kill the enemy Zero fighter first!"

"And shot down two turkeys by the way!"

Yu Hengchan in the cabin looked anxiously to the right, wanting to see clearly the situation of plane No. 1.

The Japanese pilot of Chief of Staff Ugaki Matome's No. 2 plane hurriedly lowered altitude and made two evasive turns.

A US fighter plane was hit by the Japanese Zero fighter and was falling towards the rainforest on the ground with a tail flame.

next second.

"Your Excellency, General!"

Yu Hengchan was immediately furious.

As the 15 Sabre fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army cut in forcefully, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

But the sudden appearance of this fighter jet made Lieutenant Lanphier shudder. His brain CPU was so confused that he couldn't figure out what was going on.

at this time.

When being hunted by the American devils' planes, the four fighter jets of the US attack group all headed for Yamamoto Shihachi's plane No. 4.

Babar: "Two of the Japanese bombers were shot down by others."

The two fighter planes chased after it rapidly, as fast as lightning, and soon caught up with Yamamoto's No. 1 plane and immediately opened fire.

"Report, everything was captured!" replied the pilot in charge of filming.

As Li Shaorong's order was given, the jet fighter quickly flew away and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Lanphier: "Who stole our pheasants?"

The No. 2 bomber was blown up in mid-air by the Eighth Route Army's cover group. The Type bomber disintegrated in the air, and the flying parts fell into the rain forest and the Kahiri Bay with tail flames and smoke. At this time, the American pilots realized what had happened.

"Very good!" Li Shaorong's satisfied voice sounded in the channel, "Did you take the photo?"

Admiral Yamamoto's No. 1 plane was seen at an altitude of about 3000 meters, slowly falling towards the rainforest on the ground with flames and thick smoke.

The pilot reported to Li Shaorong on the radio.

Lanphier: “Watt?”

Lieutenant Moore: "You'd better look for yourself, they are on our right!"

Seeing the bad situation, the Japanese pilots of the remaining two Zero fighters quickly dived to break contact and fled into the distance.

The US fighter jets did not chase after them, but flew in formation towards Henderson Airport on Guadalcanal.

The hunting operation lasted only three minutes. As the fighter jets from the three parties left, the surroundings returned to calm.

……

noon.

U.S. Pacific Fleet Command.

Nimitz was smoking a cigarette, anxiously awaiting news from Rear Admiral Mitscher at Henderson Field.

He looked at his watch and said, "According to the time, Yamamoto should have been shot down by now. Our pilot should have returned to Henderson Field, right?"

"Yes, General." Spruance also checked the time. "I believe there will be news soon."

"Report!" At this moment, a report voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Nimitz said in a deep voice. He recognized the voice as that of the communications staff officer.

Nimitz and Spruance looked towards the door expectantly.

A moment later, the communications officer walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand.

"General."

The communications officer saluted solemnly and reported:

"Just now, Major General Mitchell of Guadalcanal sent a telegram confirming that Yamamoto's plane had been shot down 56 kilometers north of Kahili..."

Having said this, the communications officer paused.

"Good job!"

"Good!"

Nimitz and Spruance waved their clenched fists and smiled.

The communications staff officer continued, "However, Yamamoto's plane was not shot down by our fighter planes."

"Wait?"

Nimitz and Spruance's smiles froze.

Spruance asked: "Yamamoto's plane was not shot down by our fighter planes. Could it be that the Japanese plane fell down by itself?"

"Report to the General."

The communications staff immediately reported:
"According to Major General Mitchell's report, when our 330th Air Force Squadron was hunting Yamamoto, more than 10 aircraft from an unknown flying squadron suddenly appeared and shot down two Japanese bombers."

"Wait." Nimitz looked incredulous. "What did you just say? UFOs?"

"In the South Pacific battlefield." Spruance didn't believe it at all. "Besides the US Air Force and the Japanese Air Force, are there any other countries' air forces?"

"General," the communications officer lowered his head and replied, "I have no intention of arguing with you. This is a telegram from Major General Mitchell."

After finishing speaking, the communications staff officer handed over the telegram in his hand.

Nimitz took the telegram with a serious expression and began to read it.

After reading the telegram, Nimitz's expression became more solemn.

The communications officer did not lie. It was indeed an unidentified flying group that shot down Yamamoto's plane.

Spruance asked, "Could it be that an Army fighter plane shot down Yamamoto's plane?"

"Send a telegram to General MacArthur immediately." Nimitz quickly gave the order, "Ask whether they sent out the air force to hunt Yamamoto. Also, order Major General Mitchell to bring the commander of the hunting operation to see me."

"Yes, sir!"

The communications officer saluted solemnly, turned around and walked away quickly.

……

Five days later.

Japanese country.

Tokyo.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister."

Admiral Shimada Shigetaro, the Minister of the Navy, who had returned to Tokyo from his investigation in the South Pacific, walked quickly into the Prime Minister's Office with a serious face and reported to Tojo Hideki:

"The matter has been investigated clearly. The locust troops at the Rabaul base found the remains of General Yamamoto at Cape Moira on Bougainville Island."

"As for the body of the Chief of Staff, Vice Admiral Utsune, it has not been found yet..." "The Combined Fleet is currently commanded by Vice Admiral Watanabe, Admiral Yamamoto's aide."

So many days have passed, and Yu Hengchan's body has not been found yet. He must have been eaten by fish.

"idiot…"

Before Tojo Hideki could speak, Admiral Nagano Osami, the number one man in the Navy, angrily cursed:

"Have you figured out who shot down Yamamoto-kun?"

Yamamoto Shichihachi once opposed joining the German alliance, opposed foreign expansion and aggression, and even disagreed with going to war with the United States, but he had to do it.

Why? Because there is someone above him.

This person was Admiral Nagano Osami, Yamamoto Shibachi's immediate superior and the number one figure in the Japanese Navy.

His direct subordinate was killed, and Nagano Osami, his immediate superior, was shocked and angry.

After all, Yamamoto Shibahachi can be said to be a banner and soul figure in the Japanese naval community, and he actually has a great reputation throughout Japan.

Tojo Hideki also looked at Shimada Shigetaro with a gloomy face.

"According to the escorting fighter pilots, it was the US aviation force."

Shimada Shigetaro said in a deep voice:
"When Yamamoto-kun and Yuheng-kun's planes flew over Bougainville Island, more than 20 US military planes appeared and shot down Yamamoto-kun's No. 1 plane and Yuheng-kun's No. 2 plane one after another!"

The Japanese pilots didn't know that the hunter-killer fighters that appeared before and after were not the same group.

But the Japanese pilots were familiar with the US P38 Lightning fighter.

"It was indeed done by the Americans."

Tojo Hideki said sternly:

"Americans will definitely pay the price for their actions."

Neither Tojo Hideki nor Nagano Osami had any doubt about this conclusion.

After all, in the South Pacific region, apart from the US Air Force, who else has the ability to dispatch P38 fighter jets to intercept Yamamoto Shihachi's plane?
After a pause, Shimada Shigetaro continued in a serious tone: "In addition, according to the escort pilots' reports, in addition to the P38 Lightning fighters, the US military also deployed jet fighters. This type of fighter is as fast as lightning and has strong firepower. Our Zero fighters are no match for it..."

"What?" Nagano Osami's face changed. "Jet fighter?"

Tojo Hideki's expression became increasingly ugly.

This reminded Nagano Osami and Tojo Hideki of the jet fighters owned by the Eighth Route Army.

Their combat capability was unprecedentedly strong. Even if 10 Japanese air force planes attacked 1 fighter plane of the Eighth Route Army, they were no match.

If the US military is really equipped with jet fighters, I am afraid that the strategic pattern in the South Pacific will soon be broken.

"Is this certain?"

Tojo Hideji asked in a deep voice.

"Hi."

"determine."

Shimada Shigetaro suddenly lowered his head.

"what is going on?"

Nagano Xiushen changed the subject and asked in a deep voice:
"How did Yamamoto-kun and Yuheng-kun's plane appear over Bougainville Island? It's very close to the front line."

Shimada Shigetaro said: "Yamamoto-kun is going to inspect the Shortland Islands and will pass through Bougainville Island."

"Shortland Island is only a few dozen kilometers away from Guadalcanal." Nagano Osami couldn't believe it. "Why would Yamamoto go to Shortland Island for an inspection?"

Shimada Shigetaro said in a deep voice: "It was the flight captain of Rabaul Airport who deceived Mr. Yamamoto. He said that he led the air force to sink 26 US warships and shot down hundreds of planes. Mr. Yamamoto thought the situation had reversed, so he decided to go to Shortland Island to inspect the troops!"

"Baka!" Tojo asked, "Who is the flight captain at Rabaul Airport?"

"It was Colonel Zentaro Miyano," Shimada Shigetaro replied, "He has already committed seppuku to apologize..."

Tojo Hideki tightly grasped the hilt of the admiral's sword with his right hand, and the words to order Miyano Zentaro to commit seppuku as a token of his thanks were stuck on his lips. He changed the subject and said, "Order the Combined Fleet to immediately launch a retaliatory action against the US forces in the South Pacific."

"Hi."

Shimada Shigetaro and Nagano Osami suddenly lowered their heads.

……

at the same time.

Beiping.

It’s a nice sunny day at Xijiao Airport.

A long-range strategic transport aircraft slowly landed on the airport runway and then headed towards the secondary runway.

The cabin door opened, and Li Shaorong, Wang Hexin, and a group of pilots from the New 1st Regiment walked down from the plane.

The pilots looked at the blue sky of Peking and breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as they got off the plane, pilots Li Shaorong, Wang Hexin and others saw Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang waiting on the airport's secondary runway.

Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin walked over quickly and saluted: "Report to the commander and political commissar! The hunting team has successfully completed the mission, please give instructions!"

"Nothing to point out."

Li Yunlong looked at the 15 ace and elite pilots who returned intact with an extremely satisfied expression:

"You did a great job hunting this time. I'll give you three days off to relax and rest."

Boss Chen has already sent a telegram to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang regarding the hunting down of Yamamoto Nanahachi.

The hunt was successful, and the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Lieutenant General Yu Hengchan, was also killed. Buy one get one free.

This business is making a lot of money.

However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were not in a hurry to receive the goods. They were waiting to see whether the Japanese Tianhuang would posthumously award Yamamoto the title of Marshal.

If the Japanese posthumously awarded Yamamoto the title of Marshal, it would be a huge loss if we accepted the reward in advance.

After all, the price difference between a marshal and a general is too huge, they are not at the same level at all.

"Thank you, captain!"

Li Shaorong and the pilots looked delighted. These days they were either flying by plane or by boat, and their nerves were always tense. They really needed to relax and take a rest.

"Oh, by the way, Commander, Political Commissar."

Wang Hexin pointed at the cameras held by the two pilots and said:

"The footage of the hunt for Yamamoto Nanahachi has been captured by our pilots."

Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Comrades, you have worked hard. Just hand the camera over to the guard."

The guard beside Zhao Gang walked quickly forward and took the camera from the pilot.

Zhao Gang added: "Comrade Li Shaorong and Comrade Wang Hexin will follow us to the regiment headquarters. The other comrades will go to the canteen to eat first. The regiment commander has ordered the canteen to prepare a sumptuous lunch for everyone. Remember, although the hunting mission has ended, this mission is strictly confidential and is strictly prohibited from being disclosed to anyone."

"Yes!"

All the pilots shouted in unison.

Afterwards, Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin got on the armored vehicle and followed Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang back to the regiment headquarters in Peiping City.

In the regiment headquarters, Wang Hexin and Li Shaorong reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang the details about the hunting of Yamamoto Shibachi.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou, and more than a dozen deputy regiment leaders watched the footage of the hunting down of Yamamoto Nanahachi.

The camera provided by Boss Chen is a color camera. Although the image quality is not particularly clear, it is much better than black and white.

However, the hunting process was very short, only about a minute.

Just like in the movies, Yamamoto Nanahachi, Yuheng Chan, and two Japanese Zero fighters were blown up in mid-air.

After watching the video footage, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and the senior officers of the New 1st Regiment all had smiles on their faces.

Not only did they get rid of Yamamoto Nanahachi and Yuheng Chan, but the business this time was even more considerable.

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Old Li, I suggest that this time we don't announce that Yamamoto was killed by our New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"Old Zhao, what do you mean..."

Li Yunlong understood it immediately, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Make a fortune in silence? Without reporting to the headquarters, we will take over the business of Yamamoto Nanahachi and Yu Hengchan by ourselves?"

Anyway, unless Li Yunlong and the others said anything, no one knew that Yamamoto and Yuheng were killed by the New 1st Regiment, and everyone thought that they were killed by the American army.

Upon hearing this, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou and the deputy group leaders all smiled.

"It's true that you can make a fortune in silence, but you still have to report to the headquarters."

Zhao Gang curled his lips:

"What I mean is that we should not announce to the public that we killed Yamamoto Shichihachi, and our Eighth Route Army can make a fortune in silence."

After a pause, Zhao Gang continued, "The Japanese must think that it was the American army that killed Yamamoto Shichihachi. If we make it public, we will definitely be retaliated by the Japanese navy. Although we are not afraid, if the Japanese army and navy join forces, it will still be troublesome for us."

If the Eighth Route Army had not announced it, the Japanese would definitely have thought that it was the American army that killed Yamamoto Shihachi.

It is useless for the US military to quibble. This wave is like yellow mud falling on their crotch. It is shit if not shit.

Li Yunlong immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Gang's words. Our Eighth Route Army will make a fortune quietly and let the Japanese and the American army fight each other.

"Haha..." Li Yunlong burst into laughter, "You are the one, Old Zhao. You are so ruthless!"

Although it is not announced now, it will definitely be announced later.

Even after the end of World War II, the US military claimed that they had killed Yamamoto, but Li Yunlong had the video of the hunting down of Yamamoto Shihachi in his hands, so he was not panicked at all.

"chief of staff."

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and gave the order:
"You will personally take this video material to Taiyuan, hand it over to the head of the headquarters, and report to him."

The deputy group leaders were all smiling, and the head of the headquarters would surely be grinning from ear to ear after watching the video and listening to the report.
