On the day of the accident, the Japanese troops stationed on Niho Island urgently dispatched thousands of ground troops to drive a small path in the jungle, looking for Yamamoto Izuru landlines with a glimmer of hope.

After most of the day of carpet search, the Japanese army finally found the crashed plane deep in the jungle.

However, the next scene broke all the Japanese soldiers' hearts and despair!

The miracle they were looking forward to did not happen. The I6 General Yamamoto whom they were looking for had already returned to the arms of Amaterasu.

I saw that Yamamoto Iroku was still tied to the seat by a belt. He was shot in the head and still held his chest tightly, holding the sword tightly, but he lowered his head and had no vitality at all.

All the Japanese soldiers present knelt on the ground and cried loudly, which was even more uncomfortable than if they died. If possible, they would rather exchange the lives of everyone present for their own general.

But this can only be a kind of delusion. The cold fact is that it is impossible to change based on people's subjective consciousness!

"Is Yamamoto really broken?"

"An unprecedented disaster in the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Bagaya Road, damn Americans, damn Chinese, you must not die a good death!"

"Yamamoto, how could you leave me like this? Who should you entrust your unfinished career to the Japanese Empire?"

"My Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body!"

When the exact news came back to the Japanese cabinet, the Japanese emperor and the ministers all felt in pain. Deep in their hearts, it seemed that they were constantly pricked by millions of needles, and the inner world became riddled with holes.

To some extent, Yamamoto Izuru has become the spiritual pillar of the Japanese military and civilians. Now this spiritual pillar collapses, and the trauma and grief caused cannot be expressed in words.

It is also because of this that in order to avoid severely damaging morale and people's hearts, the Japanese authorities blocked the news of Yamamoto Izuru's death for 34 days.

It was not until May 25 that Tokyo Radio unwillingly announced the news of "Yamamoto's heroic sacrifice" and then held a grand state funeral with millions of people attending.

Tang Fuqing was promoted to colonel two consecutive levels due to his outstanding military achievements, and received a congratulatory message from President Roosevelt.

However, in order to strictly observe the secrets of deciphering Japanese codes, the Hu Ben Army and the United States have been strictly ordering participants to keep the relevant situation confidential, and dispatched several batches of aircraft to Niho Island for many days afterwards, with the purpose of Japan to believe that shooting down Yamamoto's plane was purely accidental.

On the evening of May 27, the Allied Forces of China, the United States, Britain and France in Libya, North Africa were conducting a practical exercise of 10,000 people.

In the past six months, the European Eastern Front battlefield, the Chinese domestic battlefield, and the Pacific battlefield have successively launched effective strategic counterattacks, and the African theater Allied troops will naturally not be idle.

During this period, the African Allied forces were preparing for wars and wars of attrition with the Axis armies.

Although the Luftwaffe has successively added several waves to Sardinia and Sicily, which are located in Italy, to support the German-Italy African Army Group that shrinks to defend against the Tunisian Highlands.

But in the end, under the fierce war of attrition, the Luftwaffe finally overwhelmed and admitted defeat. He only retained a symbolic air force to jointly defend the Italian mainland and no longer dared to confront the Allied Air Force head-on.

Now the Allies have finally fully obtained air superiority on the North African battlefield, and have taken advantage of the situation to pursue and expand their advantages, further strengthened control of the Mediterranean, and after a bloody battle, the supply line of the Tunisian highlands was basically cut off.

The Axis military can only rely on helicopter transportation at night to survive.

Well, that's right, due to the butterfly effect, Germany has successfully developed a helicopter that uses rotors to take off and has begun to be put into mass production.

In fact, when it comes to the flight principle of helicopters, its biggest feature is that it is different from ordinary fixed-wing aircraft, because it does not rely on the engines in the fixed-wing aircraft, which generates a driving force that allows the aircraft to fly freely in the sky.

Instead, it rotates through its own characteristic wing - the propeller, thereby generating an upward rotation force, bringing up the entire aircraft's fuselage and finally achieving flight.

There is actually another saying of propeller, which is that the rotor. During the high-speed movement of the rotor, there is a buoyancy force that can rotate the aircraft fuselage in the opposite direction and the wing, thereby achieving a clever balance point.

This is why helicopters can park directly in the sky, while fixed-wing aircraft cannot.

Currently, the German army uses helicopters to transport materials. The advantage is that they can fly at ultra-low altitudes, are very small and flexible, and can directly shut down on many small-area sites, which can break through the Allied blockade line well.

The disadvantage is that helicopters are not suitable for long-distance flights and are only suitable for traffic activities within a radius of 300 kilometers.

In addition, it is also very affected by the weather. Strong winds and heavy rains are not suitable for helicopters. The speed is relatively slow, and the sound of the very rotor is very noisy.

However, the straight line distance from Sardinia, Italy to Tunisia is only 200 kilometers, so the newly developed helicopters of the German army are fully capable of transport tasks.

It is also because of this that the German and Italian African Legion that concealed defense in Tunisia can survive until now, otherwise it would have ended long ago.

After a long war of attrition and pre-war preparations, the North African Allied Forces launched the Battle of Tunisia on April 17.

The ultimate goal of this battle is to smash the German-Italy African army group, capture Tunisian territory, and drive all the German-Italy coalition forces out of North Africa.

So far, the ground battle in the Battle of Tunisia has been launched for more than a month, and the enemy and us have engaged in a series of arduous tug-of-wars.

In the early stages of the battle, the German and Italian troops achieved initial victories with an extremely strong defense system and tenacious resistance. The Allied forces suffered severe damages in repeated attacks, and the battle was very difficult.

However, as the supply of the Axis troops becomes increasingly difficult, the huge supply supply and quantity of the Allies are moving towards victory step by step.

Most of the land in Tunisia is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are not many gaps that are conducive to the attack of mechanized troops, so the Allied forces with a total strength of more than one million naturally cannot rush in. Most of the troops can only become spectators and rest and train on the side.

Anyway, they are idle. In addition to daily military training, the Allies also hold friendly matches and practical exercises from time to time to increase their coordination and practical level.

“Is this the beginning?”

Senior Allied generals such as Okinlek, Montgomery, Patton and Sun Fumin stood on a small high ground. While chatting, several red signal flares suddenly rose in the dark sky in the distance.
