Early the next morning, the wing began preparations for the transfer. The fighter jets were equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks, and the pilots were on standby in the lounge. At this time, they all learned the specific destination, which was indeed Midway Island.

Groups of planes took off one after another, and soon it was Ron's turn. The P40 newly assigned to him had been mechanically refueled and inspected, and was waiting for him to board the plane.

Just as Ron stood up and was about to walk out of the lounge, Wing Commander Major Braun and another officer in navy uniform walked in. That person was Lieutenant Commander Peterson, the commander of the aviation unit on the Yorktown.

The two walked directly to Ron.

"Second Lieutenant Ron, I now announce the new mission assigned to you by the Army Air Force," Major Braun said loudly. "Starting from today, you will be temporarily seconded to the aircraft carrier Yorktown to perform combat missions."

Before Ron could understand, Lieutenant Commander Peterson came forward and patted Ron's shoulder enthusiastically: "I forced you to come here, I hope this won't make you unhappy." He stopped.

He came down and stared into Ron's eyes, as if he really wanted to see if Ron was really unhappy. "Okay, my car is waiting for us outside, young man, let's go."

Sitting in the back seat of the jeep, Major Peterson began to brief Ron on the situation.

"We are leaving in three days. Everyone thinks you are very talented in air combat command. We think we need your help. Especially in the past few days, we need you to help us complete the training of new tactics. Time is tight.

, let’s go directly to the airport.”

An hour later, the vehicle drove into an airport and stopped in front of the tower. Not far away, two F4Fs were landing on the runway.

Entering the tower, Ron found that it was very lively. There were many small flags of different colors on a large chart. Apparently, the tower was conducting training based on the information provided by the radar.

At the same time, in the Pacific, a huge fleet was speeding. This was a terrifying fleet, consisting of 26 large and small ships, including 4 large aircraft carriers: Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu

Surrounding them were the Haruna of the 2nd Squadron of the 3rd Battleship Squadron, the battleship Kirishima, the Tone of the 8th (Heavy) Cruiser Squadron, the heavy cruiser Chikuma, and the battleship of the 10th Destroyer Squadron.

The Nagara light cruiser and 12 other destroyers and 5 supply ships. This is a victorious division. The power of this fleet alone has overwhelmed the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet. And the ships sailing behind it

There is a larger fleet a few hours away: including 1 aircraft carrier, 2 seaplane carriers, 19 carrier-based aircraft, 50 seaplanes, 7 battleships, 3 light cruisers, and 21 destroyers.

, Yamamoto Isoroku’s main fleet with four supply ships!

Commander of the 2nd Squadron of the 3rd Battleship Squadron, Captain Takama Tsunade, stood on the bridge and looked forward through the glass. It was a little windy on the sea now, and the waves were gradually getting bigger. But this was really not enough for a huge battleship.

No matter what, those waves were blown by the wind and hit hard on the plowshare-like bow of the ship. Then they were split into splashing water foam by the huge and solid bow. These water foams were blown up by the wind like smoke and rain, and drifted past.

The huge turret floated under the bridge, and then disappeared without a trace. Since the Meiji Emperor, the empire has been like this battleship. Although it has weathered many storms, it can break through all obstacles and move forward bravely. No matter it is

The Chinese Beiyang Navy and the Russian Far East Fleet both came towards us like wind and waves, but in the blink of an eye they were completely destroyed by the power of the empire, like water spray splashing on the bow of the ship. Now the empire is faced with it again

A huge challenge. As long as the United States can be defeated, the empire's future journey will be smooth sailing, and the great ambition of Emperor Meiji to spread his power across the world can be realized in the hands of his own generation. Just like in the lyrics.

"The roar of the artillery is the only thunder in the storm!

The warships skimmed the thousands of miles of waves,

The light of the empire shines brightly!"

Thinking of this, Takama Wan felt his heart beat up and down, and he couldn't control himself. I thought that Marshal Togo Heihachiro raised the Z-shaped flag during the Battle of Tsushima and issued a message to the entire combined fleet: "The empire will rise and fall in this battle. You must fight bravely to kill the enemy."

"When he gave the order, his mood should be like this. Unfortunately, at that time, battleships were still the decisive force, but now, those ugly fly ships have actually become the creators of a series of previous victories, and the Imperial Navy has actually

We need to use noble battleships to escort those fly ships.

While Takama Takama was watching the flying ship Hiryu in the distance with a complicated mood, Rear Admiral Yamaguchi Tawen was also deep in thought. This battle is not only to capture Midway Island, but the more important goal is to lead the United States out of the Pacific.

fleet, and give them an annihilating blow. Completely eliminate the Pacific Fleet and expose the U.S. West Coast to the Japanese fleet. Perhaps only in this way can Commander Yamamoto’s vision be realized and the United States be forced to lower its head and negotiate. Since the war began

, the imperial army was invincible, and there was an atmosphere of optimism within the empire. The ignorant people paraded with lanterns every day, celebrating victory after victory. They all thought that the empire could easily defeat the United States. Now not only the ignorant people, but also

Those bumpkins in the army also think so. Even within the navy, some ignorant old guys and young guys also think that the empire can defeat the United States just like it defeated Russia in the past. These red deer have no idea that the United States has

How terrible. He recalled the conversation he had with General Yamamoto a few days ago. Those red deer in the army, especially the brainless red deer Tojo, have promised to make peace with the United States as soon as possible. But if this war is won, the United States will

Will they definitely make peace? Are the red deer in the military department who are dazzled by victory willing to stop? Even if the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet is destroyed, Japan can win? No, both Yamaguchi Tawen and Yamamoto Admiral

We know that with the industry of the United States ten times that of Japan, it will not take long to rebuild a new and even more powerful Pacific Fleet. They can easily overwhelm Japan with their sheer numbers. Before the war, Admiral Yamamoto said

However, the navy can support it for three to four years. If this battle is won, it may be able to support it for longer. Somehow, Yamaguchi suddenly thought of his wife. Yamaguchi usually likes to drink a few sips of sake, and sometimes he will be drunk until he loses consciousness.

My wife once advised me, "You should take good care of your health. You should not drink to your heart's content unless it's a night with a bright moon in the sky or when snowflakes are flying." He replied at that time: "From what I can see, there is always a night with a bright moon in the sky and snowflakes flying."

"At that time." But since the outbreak of the war, such "nights with the bright moon in the sky or when snowflakes are flying" have become rarer and rarer. I don't know if they will happen again in the future.

Yesterday, Yamaguchi and Vice Admiral Nagumo Chuichi had a conversation about the enemy situation. Yamaguchi was very worried about the U.S. aircraft carrier, while Nagumo firmly believed that according to intelligence, the U.S. military no longer had available aircraft carriers in this area. His ease made Yamaguchi

He was very worried. Tai had been having an ominous premonition these days, which troubled him.

However, Yamaguchi's emotions were not shown. The officers and soldiers of the fleet were not aware of the commander's worries at all. Just like the pilot who was humming a song while walking not far away, he did not feel worried at all. The pilot's name was Yagyu Bandishi.

He came from a famous family and was successful at a young age. Because of his outstanding performance in an accident and his proficient skills, he had already obtained the rank of major at a young age. Speaking of that accident, it is really funny.

That was a few years ago. Yagyu was still a new pilot. He and his troops were at the Truk Airport at that time. They were still equipped with old-fashioned biplanes. One day, a tornado suddenly blew, and the troops began to urgently respond.

The planes on the tarmac were transferred into the hangar, but just when there was the last B4N Nakajima torpedo aircraft equipped with seagull wings, the tornado had already approached the tarmac, and the commander of the unit stopped the rescue operation. Obviously, it was too late.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as the plane was destroyed by the tornado. But Yagyu suddenly remembered that the plane was full of fuel. If he ran over now and flew it before the tornado arrived, he could save the emperor's plane.

He knew that the commander of the army would not agree to such a risk, so he took off like a plane without anyone paying attention. With the foundation of his family's martial arts, he climbed onto the plane like an agile ape, opened the cabin, and got in.

He went in and started the engine. The propellers rotated, and the plane slid staggeringly towards the runway, with the tornado chasing after him. Those who discovered all this were stunned. Just as the plane approached the runway, the tornado

After catching it, the plane shook its wings and flew vertically, like a light bandit skua. Everyone thought that Yagyu and the plane would be torn to pieces by the tornado, and then become the ninth section.

However, after the tornado dissipated, the plane that was swept up to high altitude fell almost vertically, but Yagyu leveled the plane less than a few meters above the ground, and finally drove the plane to a safe landing.

When he landed, people discovered that the horizontal tail of the plane was missing. From then on, Yagyu Bandishi had a nickname: Bandit Skua.

Young people are still happy. Yamaguchi thought silently. Yagyu didn't realize that the commander was not far away. He still hummed and walked forward. A breeze passing through the hall brought his singing into Yamaguchi's eyes.

ear:

"Crossing the sea, corpses floating on the surface,

Across the mountains, corpses litter the fields.

Sacrifice one's life for the emperor and regard death as home..."

This chapter is dedicated to the military who has shaken the military world since the era of the Ship Knowledge Forum, and has continuously created innovations such as the Boeing 747 vertical take-off and landing, five million troops invested in the Huaihai Campaign, and the Japanese army's fully armed onboard charge speed that can reach 10

Millimeters per second, a machine gun cannot hit a Japanese soldier running at full speed, a flamethrower cannot burn a person running fast, a Zero Fighter can single out 75 P51Ds and win, a 97 modified tank can fight head-on at a distance of 1,000 meters

Breaking through the T34\85, the Bean Chariot can easily defeat the King Tiger. If the Emperor hadn't announced the end of the war, Japan's Eastern Army in the northeast would have been able to completely annihilate Vasilevsky's Soviet army. In the end,
