When the battle situation in Modaria became increasingly large, even MacArthur, who had originally known the Philippines and was more powerful than Australia, could not sit still because in order to maintain the consumption of huge military power in Australia, the US Pacific Command was not allowed to ask MacArthur to slow down the attack momentum in the Philippines and instead give more energy and material supplies to Australia first. Although MacArthur was reluctant, he even took a special plane to the headquarters in Honolulu to argue for more reinforcements to him, but this time, facing something Nimitz was spreading in front of him, MacArthur had to compromise.

What made MacArthur compromise?

According to the information declassified after the war, what MacArthur saw was exactly what Churchill in Britain showed Roosevelt, most of the appearance drawings and rough data analysis materials of the British fleet being sneaked into the Andaman Sea by Chinese secret weapons.

Although the data is limited, the Americans were surprised to find out after conducting more in-depth research on the information of British weapons experts. If this weapon is currently based on this speed and unknown ability, it will be difficult for the US fleet to make effective interception and defense.

Moreover, Americans are different from the half-knowing British. When the Americans attacked the Philippines, their fleet was attacked by the same weapons. Although their speed was far less rapid than the British described, many people can be sure that they were indeed attacked by Japanese suicide aircraft, and there are amazing similarities in appearance, propulsion and combat methods: rocket propulsion, manned, suicide attack!!

When the US fleet attacked the Philippines, it was attacked by nine weapons with long fuselages, short wings, and a raised bubble cockpit on the fuselage. Together with these nine aircraft, there were more than 60 suicide planes that Japan pieced together in the Philippines. Although this time was not the first time that the US military was attacked by suicide planes, it was the first time that this new weapon was put into use on the battlefield. Moreover, this aircraft with a slender body and a long flame dragging at the tail was the most eye-catching on the entire battlefield.

That's right, this is the Japanese "Sakura. Suicide Plane that is propelled by Japan's rockets.

Unlike Duan Guoxue's later history, Japan's rocket-propelled Sakura suicide plane made more than two years of reason. The reason was nothing else. It was when Nagashi Yun led a fleet to attack the Chinese Liugong Island Naval Base and was disrupted by twenty anti-ship missiles. While terrifying the effects and power of this high-speed and terrifying penetration weapon, he also conveyed the general structure of this "suicide weapon" and other ideas.

Japan is now able to take out the troops, and it is no longer the strong soldiers and horses of eight years ago. The navy has been exhausted. The remaining ships cannot form more combat power under the disguised "joint" squeeze between China and the United States. The islands occupied in the Pacific are lost one after another, and the loss of the Philippines is probably a matter of time.

A year before the US military landed in the Philippines, the Japanese Navy had animals believed that because the Navy's current ace pilots and high-quality pilots were too powerful, the current naval pilots' bomb dropping level is poor, and it is impossible to achieve much effect by conventional bomb bombing. The existing suicide intent is too slow and too large. It is recommended that the naval authorities create gliding bombs driven by animals carried by a type of land attack and flew over the US fleet to throw them, which will definitely achieve major results. This will turn the situation around.

In the view of the Japanese Navy at that time, this was completely nonsense and immediately rejected this suggestion, but the supporters did not give up. As the Japanese army retreated in the Pacific, the Japanese Navy returned with great defeat. The torpedo and bomb hit rate dropped by Japanese planes in the naval battle was astonishingly low, and there were not many bombs that posed a worthy damage to the US fleet. The battle situation deteriorated sharply, and the US military would soon attack the Philippines. The Japanese Navy and aviation forces had suffered heavy losses. It was difficult to organize enough strength to block the US military's further attack in a short period of time. In addition, the Navy Special Fleet was stimulated by the attack effect of twenty "suicide" rocket-propelled bombs in China, the Japanese Navy had to study the opinions on launching aviation suicide attacks and control bombs proposed by the frontline.

After receiving the Navy's research order, the Navy Aircraft Factory used some of the relevant information sent by the Navy's Special Forces fleet to integrate Japan's existing technology and resources, and manufactured the first batch of experimental products at the end of May 1943. Unlike the first batch of suicide bombs that were just gliding raids in later generations. Since the limited information sent back by the Navy's Special Forces fleet clearly pointed out that the high speed of the "suicide" bombs boosted by Chinese rockets during the breakout made all air defense weapons use no effect in the face of this high speed, the first batch of Sakura suicide aircraft directly used the rocket-boosted power system. Only part of the first batch of products was to train bomb drivers to train bomb drivers, and they could be recycled and reused.

In limited tests, the Japanese Navy called out "Weapons are indeed a powerful weapon of Danbu. Six-powered artifacts thrown out from the Dried Sakura Aircraft Zanbahu aircraft. When using altitude acceleration and rocket boost, the speed during diving can reach 900 to 960 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it is actually impossible to intercept human forces in the air. Therefore, the danger is huge. Once launched, facing this high-speed and high-passing ability, the attacked ship can only leave it to fate."

The nine cherry blossoms used in the Philippines were the first actual combat experiment used by the Japanese army. The great result of the first time the Japanese cherry blossom aircraft was put into actual combat. A light aircraft carrier was severely damaged. If it were not for the intercepted aircraft used for throwing, the intercepted aircraft was blocked outside, which caused the limited range to be unable to enter more range. The escort ships that hit the outer space early or had no power and fell into the sea, the cherry blossoms' first appearance should have achieved greater results.

However, even so, seeing that Sakura has such efficient penetration capabilities, the Japanese Navy has strengthened the ability of Sakura. The updated and longer range of Sakura is immediately developed in Japan. It is ready to fight the US and Chinese Navy in a more desperate battle.

These are all stories from the Japanese side, and the US military was shocked after being attacked by Sakura's suicide. In the face of such high-speed penetration weapons, if the American aircraft pilot had not strangled and interfered with the land attack with hens in front of them, more warships would have to withstand the destructive attack of this terrifying weapon. In the face of such weapons, even praying with a sharp cross in the chest would be very little,"

Japan has this weapon, and the Chinese seem to have the same weapon, and the range seems to be farther and faster than the Japanese side of Sakura." The fourteen warships of the British fleet silently even lost contact before they could send the emergency telegrams to the attack. It can be seen that the Chinese use of this "suicide weapon" weapon is completely higher than that of Japan. Although it is not certain how long the range of this weapon is, it is blocked from the British information and the US aircraft pilot.

Judging from the distance of the Japanese hen, the Chinese weapon is much further than the range of about 40 kilometers in Japan. Because Japanese hens must be thrown at high altitude so that cherry blossoms can have a better gliding distance, the radar on the British cruiser is not a deaf ear piece. Although the early models on the cruiser made the judgment sensitivity and accuracy very poor. However, within a range of 50 to 60 kilometers, if a large aircraft group is pushed up and thrown together, it is absolutely impossible to run."

MacArthur could only give up the idea of ​​attacking and taking over the entire Philippines, and use the Philippines as a breakthrough point and jumping hammer to launch a strategy of raiding against Japan and China. Before the Navy could take out the sheath to face the penetration ability of this high-speed weapon, the US Navy could not be able to follow MacArthur's idea. After taking over the Philippines, the US Navy was swaying and swaying in China's offshore waters,

For this reason, MacArthur had to face up to the layout of both sides again. The Chinese did not rush to compete with the United States for the Philippines, which is more important to the Chinese. It was not that the Chinese were stupid or that the Chinese were stupid, but that they were a case. Even if the US military could completely take over the Philippines and use its geographical importance to its geographical location, it could indeed threaten the southern coast of China. However, if the huge navy suffered too much loss in the face of such high-speed penetration weapons, the heavy losses would seriously affect the subsequent war process. Moreover, when modern wars entered this stage, if you could fight others, it would mean that others could fight you. When you took the Philippines and started to enter the South China Sea, your fleet would also enter the range of others.

In this way, MacArthur accepted this fact with anger, helplessness, and disgusting attitude as if he had eaten a fly. Although he was arrogant, he was not a fool. Although he looked down on the Chinese, he was also angry at the fact that the Hunger submarine slapped him a few times in front of him. But he also knew that the Chinese had good submarines and torpedoes. Now he had such good air penetration weapons. What kind of terrifying attacks would his fleet face if he entered the South China Sea?

MacArthur could not take this risk. Although he was as adventurous as Patton, the risks they took were only willing to bet with enough backstage support and grasp. What is this backstage support in the future? It is logistics support. Looking at their adventures many times in their lives, they are actually just using the lives of frontline soldiers to risk attacks and fight for their merits. If they were allowed to take risks to the logistics line and supply line, hum, they would not do this even if they were beaten to death!!

A weapon did not change the entire war, but it changed the course of the entire war situation.”
