Zhou Weiguo and Liu Yuan did not just sit in the headquarters. The navy officers were busy preparing for the expedition. As generals, they naturally would not do nothing. The navy's military supply has always been sufficient, even
, without having to prepare more supplies, the navy can carry out 2-3 wars on its own.
The navy had already started preparations a few days ago, so now that they receive the order, they can set off directly.
Soon, the battleship slowly left the port.
The sea breeze makes tourists drunk.
"I really hope I can go." Zhou Weiguo shook his head helplessly. Yes, he also hoped he could go, but with more and more people under his command, and more and more talents in various fields, he could go to the battlefield in person.
The opportunities will become less and less. The son of a rich man cannot sit in court. Even if he does not have this consciousness himself, the people under him will not think so. They are still resisting Japan now, but what will happen after the Japanese are gone?
"Me too." Liu Yuan is also a soldier after all. Although he does more civilian work now, he still yearns for the battlefield more.
Until they lost sight of the battleship, Zhou Weiguo said, "Go back and wait for news from them."
"Um."
The navy on the Independent Division has just set out, but on the Midway Island side, it is already in full swing.
"Your Excellency Major General! All our fighter jets have taken off!" an American soldier reported to a major general.
"Very good! This time, we will make it impossible for these Japanese to come back!" Major General Spruance squinted his eyes. They had already received the news that Japan was about to attack, so they were completely waiting for it.
Over Midway Island, Chinese and Japanese fighter planes have come into contact.
The Japanese were not surprised why the US military responded so quickly, because even they knew there was such a thing as radar, let alone the US military.
Soon, bursts of gunshots and the buzz of dozens of aircraft erupted in the sky.
More than half an hour later, the first wave of Japanese attack aircraft began to return.
"Your Excellency, General, the fighter planes have begun to return and telegraphed that a second attack on the US military at Midway Island is needed." A Japanese soldier ran to Chuichi Nagumo and spoke.
"Yoshi, let them rest first."
"ocean!"
…
On an aircraft carrier.
"Your Majesty General, the Japanese fleet should be 200 nautical miles away in the northeast!"
"Very well, let the fighters take off! Go and finish off the Japanese fleet!"
"yes!"
At 7:06, 117 fighter planes, consisting of fighters, torpedo planes, and dive bombers, took off from the USS Hornet and Enterprise of the 16th US Task Force and flew towards the Nagumo Fleet 200 nautical miles away.
Looking at more than a hundred fighter planes taking off, Major General Spruance was in a good mood. At least, this time, they would not allow the Japanese to sneak attack again. In order to deal with the Japanese attack, they were almost attacked even before.
The disabled Yorktown was mobilized. The Japanese definitely didn't know this.
In other words, the Japanese have always thought that the US military can mobilize only two aircraft carriers, but in fact, they also need to add the Yorktown.
…
"Your Majesty General! American plane!"
"Yalu, let the fighter planes take off! Fight!"
"ocean!"
At 7:10, the first batch of 10 US torpedo bombers taking off from Midway appeared over the Nagumo Fleet. The US aircraft lined up in a single file and pounced on the Japanese aircraft carrier.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Most of the battles between fighters were in constant high-speed movement. These 10 US torpedo bombers were insignificant in front of the huge number of Japanese fighters. Soon, only 3 of the 10 bombers were left.
"Send the Akagi and Kaga to the hangar with the aircraft equipped with torpedoes on the deck, unload the torpedoes and replace them with high-explosive bombs for ground attack!" Chuichi Nagumo looked at the movement in the sky and ordered.
.
"Hi!"
More than ten minutes later, a telegram arrived in the hands of Nagyun Chuichi.
"Your Excellency, General! 10 American warships were discovered on the sea surface about 240 nautical miles from Midway Island!"
"Nani? Let the reconnaissance plane find out whether the Americans have an aircraft carrier!"
"Hi!"
"Suspend reloading of torpedo planes!"
"Hi!"
But at this moment, the alarm sounded again in the air. More than 40 US B-17 bombers and dive bombers taking off from Midway rushed towards Nagumo's fleet.
"Captain! American bombers are coming!"
"Haha! Baga! There are no fighter planes! They are here to die! Come on!"
"Hi!"
As a result, another fierce air battle broke out over the Nagumo Fleet. After dropping several bombers, the American bombers had no choice but to retreat.
"Your Excellency, General! There are indeed aircraft carriers in the U.S. fleet!"
"Nani?" Nan Yunzhong was shocked, "Reconfigure all fighter planes with torpedoes!"
The damage caused to an aircraft carrier by torpedoes and bombs is completely different!
"Hi!"
As a result, the aircraft on the two aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga caused another commotion. Moreover, in order to buy time, the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier was in chaos. In order to buy time, the unloaded bombs were piled on the deck.
…
On the Yellow Sea, dozens of warships were moving forward quickly.
Zhang Gan stood on the deck, looked at the endless sea, and squinted his eyes. Nowadays, the independent division's fleet is centered on aircraft carriers. The Japanese Navy still has two factions. He knows that. He doesn't
Understand why, even though most people know the importance of air supremacy, the Japanese Navy still has supporters of the naval faction.
"Captain, we should be able to arrive in Tokyo in one day, right?"
"That's almost it. After all, how far is it from us to the Japanese side?" Zhang Gan smiled. It has been a few hours since he came out. The destination is Tokyo. The distance is almost 2,000 kilometers. Even the time spent on the road is still long.
Two days, but they are actually not in a hurry, because at this speed, the Japanese can't go any faster. When they start to attack, the Japanese will know that even if they rush back from the Midway Island, it will take more time.
Jiu. “What a great opportunity that comes from heaven!”
"yes!"
…
Under the water, Liu Zhihui directed the submarine to keep up with the large forces on the surface.
"Captain, can we do something big this time?" an equally young soldier asked Liu Zhihui with a smile.
"Of course!" Liu Zhihui chuckled, "Otherwise, what would we do all the way to the Japs? Huh? Traveling? Let me tell you, the main force of the Japs navy has gone to the Pacific to fight with the Americans! So, what's next?
, our attack will not encounter the Japanese navy! Even if it does, it will only be small fish and shrimps! Give orders to me, be careful, don't be hurt by the small fish and shrimps of the Japanese, we will be in the sea of the Japanese.
, if I’m injured and can’t go back, then there’s nothing I can do!”
"Captain, don't worry!"
"That's right, if this is the case, we can still be injured by the Japanese's little fish and shrimps. We don't need to say anything to the captain, and we won't have the shame to go back!"
