Glorious Mission 1937

In fact, there is no need for Yamamoto to speculate. When the Japanese army cleared up the mess, it would be dawn. In order to prevent the fleet from being bombed by enemy carrier-based aircraft again without warning, Yamamoto sent more than 30 reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance around Midway Island. A huge fleet was discovered just 50 nautical miles southeast of Midway Island. According to visual estimates, there should be more than 200 ships of its size, including many aircraft carriers.

After receiving the information sent back by the reconnaissance plane, Yamamoto was shocked. With more than 200 warships, there is no other navy in the Pacific Ocean with such strength except the China Navy. It must be the China Navy.

Yamamoto immediately ordered the fleet to prepare for battle, and all warships immediately assembled in the southeast waters.At this time, Yamamoto 56 still believed that the navy of the Great Japanese Empire was the best navy in the world. Although the strength of the Chinese navy was a bit weird, he did not think that the Japanese navy was not even capable of fighting the Chinese navy.

1942年5月8日上午7点四十，中日两国的海军在中途岛海域完成了最后的集结，对战的双方分别是日本联合舰队主力127艘大小战舰、421架舰载机，指挥官为日本海军大将联合舰队总司令官山本56。

Confronting the Japanese Navy is the Chinese Navy's Heilongjiang, Yellow River, and Yangtze River Fleets, which have a total of 3 large and small warships and 224 carrier-based aircraft.

And less than 300 nautical miles away from the battlefield, there is a mobile formation of the Japanese combined fleet, which is rushing to the battlefield at high speed.This mobile formation has a total of 35 large and small warships, and the commander is Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo of the Japanese Navy.

At 8 o'clock, both sides sent carrier-based aircraft to fly towards the other side's fleet at the same time, and the naval battle of Midway Island broke out!

Chen Feng has commanded no fewer than a thousand times in land battles, ranging from small surprise attacks by dozens of people to large duels with millions of troops, but this is his first time in a smart naval battle.

In fact, Chen Shaokuan was quite worried about Chen Feng personally commanding the navy to fight. After all, the army and the navy are completely different arms, and their command tactics are also different. There is absolutely no such thing as saying that different routes lead to the same goal. The conductor messed up the good situation.

However.At the beginning of the battle, Chen Feng's super high naval command accomplishment completely shocked everyone.Actually all the soldiers of this legendary chairman have heard of it, and all the officers in the command room of the Chinese battleship know that this Chairman Chen has not only never attended a naval school, let alone an army command school.It's a mud leg who has not received an orthodox military education.

But it's such an invader with mud legs who not only reached on land, but the shit.He also has extremely high attainments in naval combat command.At this time, people have the most direct interpretation of the word genius.

In fact, the saying that Chen Feng is a genius has long been circulated in the army. This is not a secret. On the one hand, it is because of Chen Feng's impressive achievements and astonishing speed of rise.On the other hand, it was because of Chen Feng's precious children.Chen Feng's eldest daughter was born in August 40, and his son was born in November of the same year. According to the customs of northerners, these two little guys are already three years old, but in fact they are only two and a half weeks old.

However, this pair of little ones of the Chen family are simply too smart, they can read and write at such a young age, especially Chen Shengnan, Chen Feng's precious daughter, is not only proficient in Tang poetry and Song poetry, but also can play arithmetic and foreign languages. What is surprising is the physical fitness of the little girl. Although she is a female doll, she is over 1.3 meters tall and her strength is stronger than that of an adult, which is really surprising.

Chen Feng's son is also a little monster. Chen Yiding, who was born 3 months later than his sister, is not as good at reading and writing as his sister, but he likes to wield knives and guns. The two geniuses of the family are even more famous than Chen Feng, and many little princes of the Mongolian prince's family are vying to marry the daughter and son of the Chen Feng family.

Even if the child is like this, the father is of course even more powerful, so the statement that Chen Feng is a genius still has a market in private in the military.

What the officers think, Chen Feng doesn't care, it doesn't matter, what he is most concerned about now is what kind of record the navy can achieve today, and in his opinion, it is best to wipe out the combined fleet of Japan, Japan losing the combined fleet is equivalent to pulling out The Chinese can deal with the toothless tiger as they like, whether it is braised in soy sauce or deep-fried, the Japanese will not have any opinion.

However, Chen Feng also knew that it would be very difficult to wipe out the combined fleet of the Japanese army. After all, the strength of the Japanese navy lies there. It would be a first for the Chinese navy to send so many Japanese warships to the bottom of the sea. Great test.

The first two hours of the battle were performed by carrier-based aircraft. The two sides fought in the air. Except for the use of high-powered binoculars, the two sides could only vaguely see a few warships of the other side. Almost all the warships were out of sight. .

The battle between carrier-based aircraft is undoubtedly much more powerful than the Chinese naval aviation, because the Chinese naval aviation has 8 aircraft carriers and is equipped with more than 800 fighters of various types. What about Japan?Although it has 13 aircraft carriers, they are scattered in the Northern Fleet and mobile formations. Only 7 aircraft carriers and only [-] carrier-based aircraft remain in the main formation of the United Fleet.

To make matters worse, the Chinese Navy's raid last night directly sank one of the main battle aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy, and also caused damage to its two main battle carriers and a small seaplane carrier. After this battle, more than 1 aircraft carriers The carrier aircraft shrank to four hundred.

The quantity is not as good as the Chinese naval aviation, but the problem is that the quality of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft is not good. Compared with the US and British carrier-based aircraft, the Zero fighter is still relatively advanced, but it is not as good as the jet fighters equipped by Chen Feng. Compared with the standard aircraft, it is far behind.

The quantity is not as good as the number, and the quality is even worse. As a result, the two sides fought for less than an hour, and the Japanese naval aviation encountered Waterloo.After two hours of fighting, the Japanese aviation force had only a few dozen fighters left.

However, the fighting will of the Japanese navy and its carrier-based aircraft group is indeed admirable. Under such a disadvantage, the Japanese naval aviation did not retreat. The remaining dozens of fighters continued to take off after replenishing their ammunition. Whatever the order, if it can die with the Chinese carrier-based aircraft, it will die at the same time. If it can't, it will directly hit the Chinese ship on the sea.

For a while, the Chinese navy and naval aviation disrupted the deployment of the Japanese naval aviation. 2 aircraft carriers were damaged, 1 frigate was hit by two Japanese fighter planes and sank, and 4 other warships were injured.

Chen Feng was very annoyed by this situation, and ordered each ship to send out a battleship to search and rescue the officers and soldiers who fell into the water, and the rest of the troops immediately surrounded the Japanese fleet and sent all the Japanese ships to the bottom of the sea.

The naval battle lasted for a day and a night, during which the battle never stopped. During the more than 30 hours of battle, the new missile ships equipped by Chen Feng played a huge role, and many large Japanese warships were sunk. wounded.

During the period, Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi commanded the mobile formation of the Japanese Navy to come for reinforcements, and was also involved in the Midway naval battle. The Japanese army invested all naval forces except the Northern Fleet in support of the Midway naval battle, while China dispatched all naval ships. It was completely a naval battle between China and Japan.

The war ended at 5:9 am on May 5, when the flagship battleship Yamato of the Japanese navy was sunk, and then the Japanese navy withdrew from the battle in a panic. Chen Feng's troops did not pursue and the battle ended.

According to post-war statistics, the Japanese Navy participated in the battle with a total of 183 warships, and Gongbei sank 64 ships, including 5 aircraft carriers, 5 battleships and 12 cruisers. In addition, the Japanese flagship Yamato was among the 5 battleships sunk .In addition, 74 battleships were injured, more than half of which needed major repairs, and only seventy or eighty battleships were intact, and most of them were small warships.

This battle also caused 56 deaths and more than 5847 injuries, including the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet Yamamoto 2000.After this battle, the elites of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy were devastated.

After the Japanese navy fled, more than 30 naval ships with damaged power became the spoils of war for the Chinese navy.Subsequently, under the command of Chen Feng, the navy successfully captured Midway Island, which was guarded by only 1 defenders, and disturbed a damaged Japanese aircraft carrier in the port.

At the same time as the naval battle at Midway Island, an armed helicopter loaded with high-definition camera equipment filmed the entire battle scene, and another dozen military reporters risked their lives to follow up and shoot at the scene, capturing a large number of photos. The ensuing days became classic illustrations of coverage of the Battle of Midway.

The losses of Chen Feng's troops in this battle were not small. After the capture of Midway Island, the Chinese Navy also carried out battle damage statistics. According to statistics, the Chinese Navy lost a total of 8 warships in this battle, including 1 cruiser, 3 destroyers, and 1 missile. A frigate, a minesweeper, and 1 fighter planes were shot down.Casualties were 21, of which 1212 were killed in battle.

Compared with the record, the loss of the Chinese navy is completely negligible, not to mention that the Chinese navy also captured more than 30 Japanese warships in this battle.

After the battle, hundreds of medium-sized warships collectively fired congratulations in the waters of Midway Island, and thousands of officers and soldiers roared to vent their excitement.

And Chen Shaokuan and others burst into tears. This is the backlog of anger that the Chinese navy has accumulated for many years after the collapse of the Qing Beiyang Navy. (To be continued..)
