Yamamoto held the saber in his left hand, put his right hand with white gloves on his left hand, his head drooped above the saber, his lower left armpit leaned slightly against the chair handle, and the blood flowing from his chest dyed the white gloves red.
Yamamoto Iroji was born on April 4, 1884, the sixth son of the samurai Takano family in Nagaoka City, Japan. Because Takano Sasaki was 56 years old this year, he named his son "Takano Izuru".
1916, after graduating from Etashima Naval Military Academy, he inherited the Yamamoto family and changed his surname to "Yamamoto", and changed his name from "Takano Izuru" to "Yamamoto Izuru". He was a filial son. After becoming an officer, he often returned to his hometown to visit the ancestral graves of Takano and Yamamoto families. Most of the salary was sent to his mother, helping his brother and sister, and sometimes paying tuition fees for relatives and teachers' children. It is said that this is an important reason why he has been unable to get married.
The US Air Force magazine disclosed that the reason why Yamamoto Iroku could not escape this disaster was related to the Japanese pilot's false claims of military achievements in the previous air combat, which led to Yamamoto Irokuri, who was praised by the Emperor, and finally headed to the path of death.
At dawn on April 7, 1943, Iroji Yamamoto appeared at Rabaul Airport on the New British Islands of Bismarck Island. The pilots looked back at Yamamoto and saw that he was still there to greet them. In order not to disappoint Yamamoto, the flight captain "deceived goodwill" Yamamoto, saying that he shot down about 10 US aircraft and bombed 26 ships. Yamamoto believed it and moved the bombing target to New Guinea. The pilots carried out three air strikes on New Guinea in four days, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not achieve ideal results. The flight captain deceived him again and said that he hit 28 ships and 200 planes. In fact, only five ships and several aircraft were hit.
Yamamoto mistakenly thought that the battle had reversed, so he decided to inspect the bases such as Buin and Schotland to boost morale so as to win the final victory. He personally formulated the inspection route: set off from Rabaul, fly for about 1.5 hours, arrive at Bougainville Island, then fly for about 15 minutes, arrive at Bouin, and then fly for about 5 minutes, arrive at Schotland Island. The
message was quickly sent to the commander Shirashima Gaoji on Shortland Island. Shirajima was shocked and blurted out: " used such a long telegram to shoot the whereabouts of the superior, so detailed. What is this not a fool! ." He hurried to Rabaul to stop Yamamoto.
Unfortunately, everything was too late. The US military deciphered the password and shot down Yamamoto .
Although he knew that the United States' national strength was several levels higher than Japan, he did not expect that the United States' technology would be so developed and developed, which directly deciphered his password, which also became a catastrophe between him and Japan. The devastation of Japan was precisely because the US military deciphered Japan's code, so they knew in advance that the Japanese army would attack Midway Island, so they calmly deployed their defenses and waited for work, and finally won the final victory in the most important war in the Pacific War.
In this war that has been completely in the opposite direction from the beginning, Yamamoto originally thought that he could suppress the United States after a sneak attack and dominate the trend of this war, but he did not expect that the whole war would be in opposition from the beginning. He did not develop according to the expected situation at all, but was led by the United States. It was really good luck and he was unhappy to retribution.
We all know that Yamamoto is a gambler. In fact, it is not only Yamamoto, Japan itself is a gambler .
From the first war after its reform, China-Japan War of 1894-1895 was a war to bet on national destiny. The next Russo-Japanese War was a war of ants regretting elephants. From the comparison of strength at the beginning of this war, we can know how much courage and perseverance it takes to fight. This itself relies on the courage and psychology of a gambler, so Yamamoto is just a microcosm.
