On April 6, 1945, everything in the Pacific Ocean was calm. More than 1,000 American ships are moored off the coast off Okinawa, and the soldiers on deck are enjoying the peace they had before the War.
Suddenly, a formation of more than 300 Zero fighters appeared in the quiet sky, and they pounced on the US warships with great momentum, and the sirens that sounded through the sky awakened the American soldiers who were resting, and the Allies once again learned the blood and madness of the Japanese "kamikaze" special attack team.
Since the fall of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, the so-called "absolute defense circle" of Japanese imperialism has been opened a gap, and the flames of war can burn to the Japanese mainland at any time, and the red-eyed Japanese have begun to jump the wall and come up with a crazy plan - "all-aircraft special attack".
Allied pilots reacted quickly, piloting fighter jets from the carrier and taking off to stop the kamikaze's suicide attack and protect the safety of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Although the US military pilots are usually well trained and technically passed, no one is not afraid in the face of death; once the human mind and body and mind are dominated by fear, the brain cannot make any effective commands, the bladder is the first to be uncontrolled, and the result is that many of them are scared by the crazy behavior of the "kamikaze" special attack team and wet their pants, so the first thing the Allied pilots do after landing on the ground is to wash their underwear, but there are many people who will never have this opportunity.
At this time, the U.S. Pacific Fleet did not know that their nightmare had just begun, and the Japanese High Command had already issued the most extreme and crazy combat plan since the beginning of the Pacific War- "Operation Kikusui", and the "Kamikaze" special attack team would become the core tactic of the Japanese army's dying struggle, and its purpose was that the Japanese army would use all the aircraft they could use as suicide weapons and throw them into the Pacific theater.
This frenzied way of fighting will last for two months, and the ferocity of its comings, the cruelty of its means, the perversion of its thinking, the extremes of its tactics, and the fierceness of its destruction are unprecedented in the history of human warfare.
The Attack Method of the Japanese "Kamikaze" Special Attack Team terrified the US Pacific Fleet, and the leader behind the planning of this suicide attack was Vice Admiral Ugaki of the Japanese Navy.
Ugaki was an extremely fanatical Japanese militarist with a reclusive and indifferent personality, nicknamed the "Golden Mask", and after Ugaki was ordered to form a new "kamikaze" special attack team in February 1945, he thought that he would take on the task of saving the fate of the Great Japanese Empire.
After the successful Allied landing on Okinawa on April 1, only 560 kilometers from the Japanese mainland, Okinawa's location was crucial for both the United States and Japan. If the U.S. military occupies Okinawa, it can use Okinawa's geographical advantages to launch air raids on the Japanese mainland; and against the Japanese army, it means that the war will burn to the mainland, so the Japanese army must defend Okinawa at all costs.
Ugaki decided to make a desperate bet and let go of his all-out suicide attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet. At this time, in various aviation schools in Japan, conscription and mobilization orders were issued.
Under a brainwashing mobilization order speech, young pilots were forced to fill out volunteer forms, a practice that seemed very humane, when in fact there were only two choices in the volunteer form: willing and very willing.
This form can be rejected by no one, and if anyone openly opposes it, it will be punished with military law for treason, and countless young people will be sent to their deaths, many of them without systematic aviation training, and some even with only a few hours of flight time.
In the days when Japanese militarism was rampant, they had no idea of independence, and the Empire simply treated them as private property, or simply did not treat them as normal people, just machines of war, and it was more appropriate to call them "human bombs" or "meat bombs".
In the long history of human warfare, whenever one country possesses a weapon, other countries will soon have the same style or imitate almost the same weapons, such as nuclear weapons, radar, etc., but the "kamikaze" special attack team, a crazy bottomless weapon, has lost the basic norms of mankind, and no country can replicate this infamous "weapon".
Why is it that the Kamikaze task force cannot be copied? Because there is no other country in this world that has this Japanese way of thinking and inhumane practices.
The japanese military top brass used fanatical militaristic ideas to seduce young Japanese people who used their blood to participate in this suicide attack, in order to prevent them from defecting while carrying out their missions, to keep their mentality calm and peaceful, and even let them take the drug "pseudoephedrine", so that their psychology remained extremely distorted for a long time.
The brutal war crimes committed by The Japanese soldiers, poisoned by the spirit of "Bushido", have lost their basic norms of human beings, which is one of the reasons why Japan's expansionist ambitions are bound to fail.
