Why are the Japanese Kamikaze special forces so crazy?

During the period from 1944 to 1945, the uninterrupted bombing of Japanese mainland by American B-29 bombers gave birth to the idea that the Japanese army would prevent American troops from using the new airport in Mariana Islands. The special operations department of the gendarmerie has drawn up a commando operation comparable to the wartime special attacks of the United States and Britain.

Compared with similar actions of the allied forces, the only difference of the Japanese plan is that it inherits the spirit of "Kamikaze Death Squad" to the greatest extent, and designs the assault operation as a one-way mission.

On April 1945 and 1 day, the US military launched a large-scale landing operation on Okinawa Island in the south of Kyushu, occupying Yantan Airport and Kadena Airport on the west coast of Okinawa Island. American fighter planes quickly entered, intercepted and shot down several Japanese Kamikaze planes that tried to attack American and British warships supporting the landing operation.

Although several allied warships were sunk and wounded by the fierce and fearless attack of Kamikaze, the Japanese suicide tactics were seriously interfered by American fighters. It suddenly dawned on the Japanese army base camp that American planes took off from two newly occupied airports on Okinawa. On May 15, they decided to use the "Ilie Air Court Team" to raid and destroy the airport in Okinawa.

This raid, code-named "Operation Gi", is more feasible than the previous plan to attack the Mariana Islands, because the medium bomber Ki-2 1 has the ability to fly directly from Japan to Okinawa without refueling. After receiving the order, the "Air Shuttle Team" and the 3rd Independent Air Force quickly went south to Kumamoto Airport in Kyushu to prepare for an emergency attack on two airports occupied by the US military on Okinawa. Third independence

Air Force equipment 16 Ki-2 1 bomber, and there are four spare. In order to reduce their weight, all planes were disarmed. Captain Osama led the command class and 1, 2, 5 teams to attack dugu airport with 8 Ki-2 1; Captain Watanabe led the third and fourth teams to attack Kadena airport in four planes.

The "Ilikonting Team" departed from Kumamoto Airport in Kyushu, Japan in the evening and is expected to arrive at the US military airport at midnight. In order to attract the firepower of the US military, Lu Haijun will dispatch 50 Kamikaze planes to launch uninterrupted suicide attacks on the US military airport before the "airborne team" lands, cover the entry of the Ki-2 1 bomber into the US military airport, and make a forced landing with the landing gear retracted.

After the plane landed, Japanese commandos would pour out of the cabin and destroy American planes and important airport facilities with long-rod blasting devices and "blasting ropes". Subsequently, they will occupy positions overlooking the two airports and use light weapons to harass the normal operation of the airports.

According to the arrangement of the "just war", 180 Japanese suicide plane will launch a large-scale suicide attack on the allied fleet off Okinawa with the support of 30 conventional combat planes (some of which are equipped with "Sakura" jet manned space bombs, which are a kind of Japanese suicide weapons) the day after the attack.

If all goes well, the undamaged US military combat opportunity will not be lifted off because of the suppression of light weapons fire by the "airborne team", and the US military's air interception capability will be seriously weakened. Tokyo base camp believes that this means the end of the "just war" of the US military's landing campaign on Okinawa. The plan itself is perfect.

Although the U.S. and British fleets have adapted to the crazy attacks on their warships by Kamikaze special attack team planes, they did not expect that 130 more than 30 fully armed and well-trained Japanese death squads would fall from the sky, leaving everyone in danger.

Captain Osama's "team in the air" is fully prepared for hard work both in equipment and psychology. Their weapons include Type 99 rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns, Grenade launchers and blasting equipment specially developed for the "air squadron".

In addition, each team member also carried an automatic pistol and several white phosphorus high-explosive grenades. The original launch time of the operation was May 23, but it was planned to be postponed for one day due to the bad weather over Okinawa that day.

On the evening of 24th, the Japanese army held a short and warm farewell ceremony for the "Air Force" at Kumamoto Airport. Everyone picked up the rice wine on the long table and shouted "Long live!" After that, drink it off. Before boarding the plane and preparing to leave, Captain Osan gave his men one last provocative lesson.

18: 50, the first 12 Ki-2 1 bomber roared across the runway and flew towards Okinawa, more than 770 kilometers away. Inside the plane, everyone fantasizes about being able to die gloriously in the battle. On the ground, the flight attendants enthusiastically waved the Japanese flag to the bombers passing by on the runway and watched the "empty team" walk out.
