The death of Kato Keno

After three months of endless attacks and long-distance flights, even Captain Kato, who is famous for his immortality, could not resist the fatigue attack. On May 22nd, 1942, the Brenheim IV bomber of the 60th squadron of the Royal Air Force attacked the Japanese Achap airport off the coast of Myanmar. Due to the failure, only one plane numbered Z9808 arrived at the Japanese airport. After dropping the bomb, the captain and warrant officer herget left at low altitude against the sea in Punk Bay. An Tian Iraqi Cao Chang (record 10) and Taiwei Otani Kazuo, the ace pilots of Japanese Flight 64 Team, made an emergency takeoff, pursued the Ki-43 I fighter ("Hayabusa") and launched an attack from above. Staff Sergeant Makraki, the shooter in the turret of the British plane, hit the An Tian plane and forced it to return, and then the I-type war built by Otani was also hit and returned. Thirty minutes later, three "Oscars" (the nickname given by the Allies to Type I fighters) caught up. Takeo Kato, the captain of Flight 64, personally jumped down from it in a Type I fighter. Sharpshooter Mark Lachi immediately shot Kato's landline in the abdomen, and he was burned in World War I.. Kato jumped over the fuselage and blew himself up on the sea (Kato himself usually asked his officers to fall into the sea when they were shot at sea and could not return). The remaining two I fighters returned immediately. The Brenheim bomber miraculously returned safely, with only two bullet marks in its tail. Later, three crew members (Captain Helga, Shooter Staff Sergeant Macra and Pilot Corporal White) were rewarded with telegrams for shooting down the enemy captain. After Kato Keno's death, Tekin was promoted to Major General, with 65,438+08 aircraft. Since then, the Kato Falcon Combat Team has experienced five generations of captains until the final battle. Since the war, they have shot down 258 planes, 25 of which are uncertain, 49 caught fire, 95 were seriously damaged, and 16 1 crew members died (39 died of illness).
