In February 1941, the Japanese Emperor's favorite, military negotiator, and admiral Ōkaku Cen Sheng was shot down by a group of heavy machine guns ordered by Yuan Dai, commander of the Chinese Third Guerrilla Zone, in the airspace of Zhongshan County, Guangdong Province, in a plane, becoming the supreme general of the Japanese Navy who was killed in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the Meiji Restoration and reforms, Japan's national strength increased rapidly, and the arrogant Japanese emperor and cabinet formulated a policy of foreign expansion and aggression, and by the time of World War II, China had become Japan's greatest strategic goal.
By the time of World War II, Japan's ship tonnage had ranked third in the world, and its naval strength was theoretically the third in the world.
Despite this, the Japanese Navy has a high level of individual combat effectiveness and military training, and has 10 aircraft carriers such as Fengxiang, Akagi, and Kaga, as well as Kongo-class, Fuso-class, Ise-class, Nagato-class, and Yamato-class battleships, among which the more famous Yamato and Musashi battleships have a full load displacement of 72,000 tons, which is the largest battleship in the world at that time, 10,000 tons more than the tonnage of the Liaoning aircraft carrier.
By the beginning of the Pacific War in 1941, the Japanese Navy had reached the peak of its strength, reaching 70% of the strength of the U.S. Navy, and the arrogant Japanese Navy began to fantasize about conquering the world, and Admiral Ōkaku Censei was one of the core figures in planning and launching the war of aggression.
Ōkaku Censor was the most trusted favorite of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, the pride of the Japanese Navy, and when Emperor Hirohito was still the crown prince, the two people had a close relationship. After Hirohito ascended the throne, Ōkaku Censon was even more favored, and in April 1931, he was promoted to admiral and became the planner and commander of the invasion of China and the Pacific War.
Ōkaku Censei's aggressive ambitions continued to expand with the promotion of his position, and even developed to the extent that he could influence the emperor, which showed his monstrous power in Japan at that time.
However, God made him crazy, it would definitely make him perish, and what he did not expect was that he would be killed in China. In early 1941, Dajiao Cen Sheng made a special trip to China to plot to expand the invasion of Southeast Asia and launch the Pacific War. He flew to Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan and other places to meet with the senior commander of the Japanese Army's Chinese Dispatch Army.
On the morning of February 5, 1941, accompanied by the japanese Navy's military adviser to the puppet national government (Wang Jingwei) in Nanjing, China, and the famous "China Pass" Major General Suga Yanjiro, he set off from Guangzhou and flew to Hainan Island under the escort of 6 fighter planes, taking the naval transport plane "Breeze". When passing over the Lingling Ocean, perhaps discovered by the gods of Wen Tianxiang, a whirlwind blew up, and the engine of the transport aircraft failed and was forced to turn back to the Pearl River.
When the group returned to pass through Dachikan Township, Zhongshan County, Guangdong Province, it was discovered by Yuan Dai, commander of the 3rd Column of the Chinese 12th Group Army, who did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the heavy machine gun group to carry out intensive fire, and the transport aircraft was hit by multiple bullets and lost control and fell into the valley of Huangyang Mountain.
Yuan Dai quickly led his troops to block the three junctions into the mountain, conducted a carpet inspection, and found 10 flesh and blood blurred corpses in the mountain pass, two of them dressed in the costume of a Japanese admiral, and from the documents, one was the infamous Admiral Ōkaku Cen Sheng, whose head was hit by a heavy machine gun and his forehead was exploded, and the other was burned to the ground, it was Rear Admiral Suga Yanjiro.
While killing Admiral Dajiao Cen Sheng, Yuan Also found many confidential documents of the Japanese army, which were sent to the theater command and analyzed by Chinese military experts to confirm that the Japanese army was about to launch a Pacific war.
When the Kuomintang government revealed this conspiracy to the whole world, it immediately caused a sensation in the world. However, because the United States, Britain, and other countries despise China's military and intelligence capabilities, they do not pay attention to Japan's core secret Pacific plan, but think that China is making a big fuss and falling into the trap of the Japanese army.
Dozens of days later, when the Japanese military command confirmed through various indications that the core secrets of these top-secret documents obtained by the Chinese government were not taken seriously by the United States, Britain and other countries, it continued to prepare for the "southward expansion" plan, and six months later, the "Pearl Harbor Incident" broke out, and the careless US troops suffered heavy losses.
Yuan Dai was also rewarded by the Kuomintang army for killing Admiral Cen Sheng and Rear Admiral Suga Yanjiro, and obtaining major confidential documents, and awarded a huge prize of 100,000 oceans, which was a great reputation for a time, and Yuan Dai was also called an anti-Japanese hero by the people of Zhongshan.
