It is the early morning of April 18, 1943.
Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, is departing Rabaul to inspect the front lines and boost the morale of his troops. Brushing aside the desperate attempts of Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa (Commander of the Third Fleet) and others to stop him, the Type 1 land-based attack aircraft carrying the Admiral takes off from Rabaul Airbase right on schedule.
Official war records list only two Type 1 attack aircraft involved in the mission.
Yet, on that day, another set of wings was indeed following close behind.
Six elite fighters from the 204th Air Group—including pilots Shoichi Sugita and Kenji Yanagiya—were flying in formation to provide immediate escort.
In skies thought to be under Japanese air superiority, a swarm of US P-38 Lightning fighters lay in wait just before Balale; having cracked the Japanese codes, they launched a relentless attack.
The escort unit fought back with desperate tenacity. However, after a fierce dogfight, the Admiral's plane vanished into the jungle, trailing plumes of black smoke.

それにしても3機目が存在したことについては今回初めて知りました。貴重な情報、いつもありがとうございます！
海軍乙事件でも同時に飛び立った3機の内、3番機(司令部要員の下士官兵搭乗)だけが無事、ダバオに到着したんでしたよね。 操縦士(黒川佐助氏)は851空切っての名パイロットで
司令が乗る時は常に彼が操縦し
その腕を称賛していたそうですね。その彼も台湾沖海戦で惜しくも戦死されました。新婚1ヶ月だったとの事。とにかく、手を合わすことしか出来ません。🙏🌸🇯🇵
しかし、自分が山本長官が戦死された年齢を過ぎた頃から考えが変わった。山本長官は死にに行ったんだと。
🇺🇸アメリカ合衆国軍側に
筒抜けで解読されていた
のだから山本五十六長官
機の撃墜死は「自明の理」
でしたねぇ・・・😢。
✈️一式陸攻機のイメージ
が山本長官機の撃墜シーン
なのが哀し過ぎますね😢。
結果論だがあまりに不用心さに改めてその背景に何かの力学が働いていたことを感じる。
大体、米国に打撃を与えれば、絶対に怒りを収めることがないことくらい知ってたはず。真珠湾攻撃自体が愚策。しかも燃料タンクや船舶のドッグを攻撃しなかった。どうせやるなら前戦力を投入して上陸、占領すべきだったのに、あまりにも馬鹿すぎる。奴のせいで日本は破滅した。
