Chapter 1506 The red-eyed gambler
"Old General! Our losses are indeed not small, but generally speaking, it is not satisfactory!"
The Kuroshima Turtle sighed deeply. Times have changed. The textbook victory in the Japanese-Russian naval battle decades ago could no longer be copied.
Yamamoto Iroku said bitterly: "Kukushima, the Imperial Navy did not suffer much from this battle based on data. But the question is, if we fight with the Americans like this, can we fight with each other?"
"Your Highness General thought carefully, I can't do it."
The Kuroshima Turtle flattered in a modest manner and then asked, "God General, what should we do next? Will we continue to fight as planned?"
"why not?"
Hearing this, Yamamoto Izuru's eyes suddenly became fierce again, and he kept mumbling, "Although the overall industrial strength of the Great Japanese Empire is much worse than that of the United States, it is developing at an unprecedented speed.
So the Great Japanese Empire needs more time to develop. What we need to do now is to buy development time for the Great Japanese Empire as much as possible, even if the Great Japanese Combined Fleet gives it all!”
"Although the United States has strong industrial strength, even though they have developed their full strength for more than two years, their navy is still too young, and the Imperial Japanese Navy still occupies an advantageous position!"
"After this submarine battle, we have clearly known that the Allied fleet is currently gathering in the waters near Midway Island, and relying on Midway Island to establish a defense and alert network.
Although they can borrow the island airport to fight, this is better than a double-edged sword. Midway can provide them with shelter, but it also becomes their shortcomings, tightly bound them there!
Therefore, compared with the Allied Fleet, the Joint Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire currently has the best combat conditions, that is, the enemy is open and the enemy is secret."
"So at this time, as long as we can fight with all our might, we may achieve unexpected and brilliant results and directly damage the US Pacific Fleet!"
As he spoke, he became excited. Yamamoto Izuru's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his gambler's traits surged wildly, and soon dominated the entire thinking.
"So, Mr. Kuroshima, since this battle has become what it is now, there is no need for us to hold back!"
After a while, Yamamoto Iroku decided to play a stud and said with a bit of tremolo, "Tell me my order immediately. Half an hour later, all torpedo planes and dive bombers took off to bomb the Allied fleet, and 80% of the fighter planes were assigned to follow and escort.
In addition, after completing the takeoff, each fleet will immediately evacuate the original sea area and make defense preparations. Be sure to protect the fleet's aircraft carrier!"
Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, although Yamamoto Irosaki opposes Japan's joining the Axis powers and going to war with the United States, it is not because he "loves peace", but because he feels that there is no chance of winning a war against the United States. Provoking the United States will undoubtedly establish a powerful enemy for Japan, causing Japan's aggression and expansion policy to be abandoned halfway.
But when the Pacific War came to this point, Yamamoto Iroku had no scruples for a long time. His only scruples were how to delay time as much as possible and use all means and efforts to defend the Pacific's sea control.
In fact, Yamamoto Iroku is a complete gambler who often ignores the military command's combat plan and often acts very resolutely in combat, especially likes to win strangely.
"Hayi! The Imperial Japanese Navy will win this battle!"
Infected by Yamamoto Iroru, the Kuroshima Turtle was also excited and couldn't help but think of the brilliant victory of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor again!
At 3:40 a.m., 82 torpedo aircraft, 324 dive bombers, and 302 fighter jets in the three fleets of the Japanese Combined Fleet took off from each aircraft carrier one after another, forming several bomber formations and then heading towards the Allied fleet near Midway Island.
The entire joint fleet only symbolically left 60 fighter jets to escort each fleet, and all the remaining combat aircraft attacked. The Japanese Air Force can be said to have come out in full swing.
In order to prevent Allied combat aircraft from finding the fleet's location in reverse along the bomber formations, not only did the bomber formation fly in a line, but the fleet also moved the place after the carrier-based aircraft took off.
"Imperial Air Warriors, I'll give you all the national destiny of the Great Japanese Empire!"
"Please be sure to complete the bombing mission well, and we are waiting for you to return in triumph!"
"The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire will win!"
Iroru Yamamoto, Kuroshima Turtle, Tadao Nakumo and other Japanese naval generals stood on the deck of the battleship, staring at the battle planes with taillights on disappeared into the darkness, until they could no longer see anything.
For them, there is only one thing left, which is to wait for the aviation corps to send good news back and be prepared to fight the Allied aviation corps that came to revenge.
The rest can only be left to fate.
Woo~Woo~Woo~
At 4:24 in the morning, only a faint light came out at the East Sea and Sky communication, and the sky was still in a dark state with extremely low visibility.
Midway and the surroundings were covered with thin morning mist and deep silence, as if everything was asleep.
And at this moment, a sharp air defense alarm sounded on Midway Island and the surrounding sea, and what was coming was finally here.
"Dog god, it's true that the thief is undead!"
"Brothers, get up quickly, the Japanese plane is here!"
"Hurry! Board the plane and take off now!"
"I'm going to buy it! A large number of Japanese planes are coming!"
"This is not an exercise! This is not an exercise! The enemy plane is here! The enemy plane is here!"
“go!go!go!go!go!”
"Gentlemen, enter the combat post now!"
“…”
The Allied troops, which had been on high alert, naturally could not let the Japanese planes take advantage of the loopholes. After receiving the alarm from various cordons, the Allied officers and soldiers on Midway Island and on various ships entered their respective combat posts as quickly as possible.
In a short while, fighter jets continued to take off from Midway Island and on various aircraft carriers.
Within just half an hour, more than 700 Allied fighter jets were all taken off and flew into several directions towards the Japanese fighter jet group that was about to arrive at Midway Island.
"Fuck these dog gods to death!"
"Kill!"
"Damn the devil, let them all meet God!"
Not long after, the Allied Fighter Group, which took off first, met the Japanese Fleet in the air more than 100 kilometers away, and an extremely fierce life-and-death battle broke out instantly.
Either you die or I die. Just start to do something wrong. Allied pilots opened fire with all their might and caught a Japanese plane and hit him to death!
A thrust machine gun roared, spit out a long tongue of flames, and a series of dazzling beams of light crisscrossed in the air, like a meteor piercing the sky.
"Bagaya Road! Imperial air warriors, charge!"
Faced with the interception of the Allied fighter fleet, the Japanese escort fighter jets naturally rushed over without hesitation and tried their best to bleed for their bomber fleet.
"Imperial Warriors, Midway Island is coming soon!"
"For the sake of the Yamato nation's successive generations! Charge!"
At this time, the sky was already tingling and bright. Although it was not as clear as it was in broad daylight, it could already be seen with the naked eye that the huge black shadows of Midway Island could even be vaguely identified on the sea surface in the far distance.
Chapter completed!
