Age of Rebirth

Chapter 1564 A Different Naval Battle of Midway Island

Commander of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, Admiral Nimitz finished his breakfast in a dull manner. Due to insomnia, His Excellency's face was a little swollen and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. Although the Joint Chiefs of Staff had clear action instructions, he My heart is still concerned about Pearl Harbor.

After all, it is the base that I have been operating for several years. I have spent my golden years in the navy on that island. I can’t worry about it. With a long sigh, Nimitz is getting more and more dispirited. The defeat of the US Navy will be started by himself. , this weight made him unable to breathe.

Outside, the roar became louder and louder. In the blink of an eye, the dark Japanese navy carrier fleet had already flown over the US aircraft carrier formation. Everything happened so suddenly. The Japanese plane, like a ghost, appeared in front of our eyes in an instant.

Across the side, Nimitz saw this scene clearly. He was so heartbroken at the time, and before he could rush out of the cabin, there was a violent explosion. The huge hull of the fleet flagship "Lexington" aircraft carrier, Shaking violently, Nimitz was violently thrown to a corner of the cabin by the sudden violent shaking. Just as he got up, a lieutenant colonel stumbled in.

"Commander! We were attacked by Japanese planes!" The officer shouted in panic. Admiral Nimitz had already seen thick smoke and fire rising from the decks of several nearby warships without telling the officer. On the surface of the sea, a column of water was stirred up into the sky! [

Under the protection of several officers, Nimitz braved the fierce Japanese artillery fire, came to the flagship command cabin, and issued an order to fight back immediately. All the warships in the US aircraft carrier formation fired fiercely at the sky with anti-aircraft guns, a series of And the cannon blasted the blue sky into gray clouds of smoke.

The attack came too suddenly. Although the U.S. warships fought back desperately, they could not stop the indiscriminate bombing of more than 500 Japanese aircraft.When the U.S. aircraft carrier-based aircraft were not launched into the air to fight, the sky was dominated by Japanese aircraft, and the U.S. warships that had not yet sailed were suspected to be living targets.

Nimitz stands on the conning tower.I saw with my own eyes that several destroyers, amidst a violent explosion, a huge cloud of smoke wrapped in dark red flames, rushed into the sky, and the hulls were suddenly broken into two pieces, but in the blink of an eye.The warship sank into the sea.

The carrier-based aircraft on the U.S. aircraft carrier, unwilling to be a living target, braved the violent bombing and shooting of the Japanese aircraft, and forcibly took off. The smell came up, like a pour.The U.S. carrier-based aircraft was fired up, and this became the beginning of a bigger disaster.

Nimitz ordered the aircraft carrier formation to fight and retreat.Moving closer to the west coast of the United States, in this case, no matter how advanced the US military's carrier-based aircraft are, they are destined to play a tragic role. At the beginning, they fell into a disadvantage, and they could not even take off for combat.

The Japanese pilot's eyes turned red, and he flew up and down in the gap of the US ship's anti-aircraft artillery fire, Major General Guxiong Liangyou.Driving a reconnaissance plane, hovering at the high-altitude command position, seeing that the battle has become a one-sided trend, and the US warship has been beaten into fireworks, he sneered, with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.Slamming the joystick, the reconnaissance plane hovered lightly, and flew in the direction of the task force.

A few ten minutes later, the task force appeared on the dark green sea. Liangyou Gu Xiong flew a plane and landed on the aircraft carrier. At this time, his plane had already been taken to the take-off line. Hearing the news of Gu Xiong's safe return, he hurried over. In all fairness, Gu Xiongjun is the real hero of the task force.

Kobayashi took Gu Xiong's hand, and said tremblingly with excitement: "Gu Xiong-jun, please, as long as the aviation can entangle the American aircraft carrier formation for more than an hour, the fleet can arrive! At that time, it will be the US Pacific Fleet The real doomsday!"

Gu Xiong laughed and replied confidently: "Mr. Xiaolin, I'm afraid that when the fleet arrives, all you will see are the burning wreckage of American warships and American soldiers struggling on the sea. I have more than 500 of them." Bombers and fighter jets, the U.S. fleet was caught off guard again, coupled with the bravery of the imperial pilots, Mr. Xiaolin, after an hour, I am afraid you will only be left to clean up the battlefield!"

Kobayashi obviously enjoyed this joke very much, and said: "Gu Xiongjun, as long as we can completely wipe out the American aircraft carrier formation, I can serve as a logistics officer for your carrier-based aircraft. The miracle is created in our hands!"

Gu Xiong crooked his mouth, and asked in a secretive whisper: "Mr. Xiaolin, what did that old guy say? You didn't get into a rage, didn't you suffer any grievances?"

Xiao Lin smiled contemptuously, and replied: "What do you say? He still has the face to say that he pretended to be unwell, and has already handed over the command of the task force to me. I think he is looking for a way for himself. Let it go, Gu Xiong-kun, the task force is now in our hands, it is the strongest backing of the carrier-based aircraft, the glory of the Japanese navy, not only the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, but also the annihilation battle of Midway Island!"

Gu Xiongliang stood at attention and said solemnly: "Yes, acting commander, the carrier-based aircraft commander Gu Xiongliang, follow your orders at any time!" After speaking, he jumped on the fighter jet and slammed the joystick, "Ninety-two "Type" carrier-based aircraft roared like a ferocious beast with teeth and claws, and rushed straight into the blue sky, disappearing from Xiaolin's sight in the blink of an eye.

Kobayashi Xiuquan smiled knowingly. He was very pleased with what Gu Xiong said just now. The so-called "time makes a hero" and he was doomed to be extraordinary. Is it really my turn to take the position of commander?

However, the ambitious Major General Hideizumi Kobayashi never imagined that his opportunity was neither the manifestation of God Amaterasu, nor the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, but the mortal enemy of the Japanese Empire, Emperor Hirohito and all the Japanese generals. It was given to them by Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, who cursed viciously at the mention of it, but was terrified of it and could do nothing about it.

After Guxiong Liangyou returned to the command position, the attack of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft became more violent and methodical. Moreover, the focus of the attack of the Japanese aircraft was on the four US aircraft carriers. The body became a living target. After the Japanese bombers broke through the periphery of the US aircraft carrier, the thin air defense firepower composed of cruisers and destroyers, a series of bombs roared down.

The U.S. aircraft carrier "Saratoga" became the first aircraft carrier to be sunk. With several loud bangs that overwhelmed all the explosions, the upper deck of the "Saratoga" aircraft carrier was sunk by more than a dozen Hit by a heavy aviation bomb, the huge explosive force tore through the thick steel plate, and several huge irregular holes rolled over the steel plate, like a big mouth opened, and sighed loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the four Japanese bombers for the follow-up bombing flew at an ultra-low altitude almost at the height of skimming the mast of the aircraft carrier, and accurately dropped the bombs into the huge hole. The carrier-based aircraft of the drug exploded and detonated the aircraft, which became the fuse of a huge disaster, which in turn ignited the oil depot and the drug depot.

A huge puff of smoke, mixed with dark red flames, soared into the sky. The strong destructive force tore the aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 2 tons to pieces. The bottom of the sea, in front of the eyes of all U.S. officers and soldiers, with thousands of fresh lives, disappeared into the endless sea, only floating oil flowers, proving that there was once a huge monster that was still wandering on the sea surface a few minutes ago. [

Nimitz closed his eyes in pain. From the beginning of the Japanese raid to the present, in just fifty minutes, seven destroyers and four cruisers in the aircraft carrier formation were sunk, including the "Saratoga" that sank just now. "The aircraft carrier, the entire aircraft carrier formation, has lost more than one-third of its strength, and the remaining warships are all wounded. The situation is not optimistic!

A few minutes after encountering the attack, Nimitz sent a call for help like the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but he also knew that the land-based fighter jets of the US Air Force flew to the battle area, and it was impossible to arrive in less than an hour and a half. , Moreover, in a hurry, the first batch of land-based fighter formations for reinforcements, but 34 fighter jets in two brigades, in front of more than 500 Japanese aircraft, is not a drop in the bucket, almost like a self-inflicted trap.

In this one and a half hours, it is up to the aircraft carrier formation to resist the indiscriminate bombing of Japanese aircraft. Nimitz himself knows that this is very difficult. Even if land-based fighter jets arrive, the aircraft carrier formation can survive There will not be many warships.

What's more terrible is the shadow of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the annihilation of the main force of the Pacific Fleet. In the face of more than 500 Japanese bombers and fighter jets flying all over the sky with arrogance, the American officers and soldiers who were passively beaten, this terrifying shadow , was limited and magnified, and the organized resistance of the formation began to become chaotic, separated by Japanese aircraft, and fell into a situation of fighting independently.

Nimitz was almost desperate. He knew too well that once the overall air defense system of the formation was split, each warship would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Japanese aircraft. The only thing he could do was to order the ships to move closer to the aircraft carrier as much as possible. , It is easy to give orders, but it can be executed, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. The warship that has been scarred by the bombing and has not yet sunk can be said to be hardworking.

Three carrier-based dive torpedo bombers of the Japanese Navy suddenly passed through a layer of curtains and appeared in the sky above the left side of the flagship "Lexington" aircraft carrier. The mast climbed high into the sky, and one of the Japanese dive torpedo bombers did not escape bad luck. It was hit by anti-aircraft guns and was blown to pieces in the air.

However, Admiral Nimitz, who was standing on the command tower, saw with his own eyes that the six torpedoes dragged white and beautiful waves, like cracks on the dark green glass, and flew towards his flagship. rushed over.
