Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

In the Pacific Ocean, [-] nautical miles away from the Third Fleet of the Mi Army, a huge fleet is advancing rapidly. Looking down from a high altitude, it can be seen that this is a fleet consisting of four aircraft carriers, six battleships, cruisers, and more than [-] destroyers. There is also a huge fleet of dozens of other transport ships and troop carriers. They are the first assault fleet of the island army's combined fleet.

At this time, on the aircraft carrier Taiho, the flagship of the Japanese First Assault Fleet, Lieutenant General Jisaburo Ozawa, the commander of the fleet, stood facing the wind on the bridge. Behind him were a group of generals and a flag of the sun.

After Nanyun Zhongyiyu was broken, Ozawa Jisaburo took over the important task of the commander of the main fleet and became the only vanguard officer in this battle.

Although he, like Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, was a torpedo expert, Ozawa Jisaburo was known for his calmness and composure, and he was also the leading aviation warfare expert in the navy of the island country. Air wars.

The intention of the base camp to plan this Midway operation is to further destroy the rice fleet, so that the navy of the island country can concentrate on consolidating the defense on the Pacific island chain, so as to ensure the stability of the defense line of the entire Southeast Asia, so that the army can sit back and relax and deal with the Burmese expeditionary force with all its strength. , to realize the strategic vision of joining forces between Germany, Japan and India as soon as possible.

Because this is a decisive battle, and at the same time they also learned the important information that the U.S. Navy is conducting an exercise on Midway Island. The seven aircraft carriers of the U.S. are all gathered on the front line of Midway Island. This is an excellent opportunity to wipe them out. Therefore, tactically, they Without any tricks, concentrate all the naval power that can be mobilized, with the four aircraft carriers of the first assault fleet as the main attack, the second assault fleet and the third assault fleet each with three aircraft carriers, outflank from the left and right wings, and occupy the middle with all their strength. island.

After the First Assault Fleet of Ozawa Jisaburo tore through the frontal defense line of the Mi Army, it launched a large-scale air strike on Midway Island at the fastest speed. After destroying the air power and ground protection of the Mi Army, more than [-] locust infantry soldiers Start the island landing operation and fully occupy the Midway Atoll.

After completing the above tactical actions, the US aircraft carrier formation must counterattack with all its strength. At this time, the second assault fleet and the third assault fleet will outflank the left and right wings, and the three fleets will meet in one place. The US Pacific Fleet was wiped out in one fell swoop.

Although the preparation time for this battle was relatively short, in Ozawa Jisaburo's view, their plan itself was quite thorough, well-organized, and the timing was well grasped.

Moreover, according to reliable information, compared to the powerful lineup of ten fleet aircraft carriers, fifteen battleships, twenty cruisers and 46 destroyers that the Locust Army plans to put into decisive battle, the U.S. Navy only has seven aircraft carriers, six battleships, and ten cruisers. And [-] destroyers, the others are some ships for exercise, transportation and observation, which shows the huge disparity in troop strength.The two warring parties are only relatively close in the number of large aircraft carriers, the number of aircraft available for mobilization, and the number of submarines.If nothing else, the locust army will have an overwhelming advantage.

While Ozawa Jisaburo was thinking, a lieutenant staff officer hurriedly ran up to them, saluted and reported that the reconnaissance plane had just discovered the US aircraft carrier group at a distance of 250 nautical miles ahead, with three aircraft carriers, two battleships, cruisers, and about ten destroyers. .

"Yoshi!" Ozawa Jisaburo showed an evil smile on his face, and immediately ordered the carrier-based aircraft to take off immediately, attacking the US aircraft carrier fleet with all its strength, and all ships moved forward at full speed, ready to hit the enemy head-on.

In an instant, the sirens sounded shrill on the sea, and the locust army on the ship began to enter a fighting state, and the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier also flew off the deck one after another, forming a formation in the air and heading west rapidly.

Ozawa Jisaburo did not intend to give the Mi Army a chance to breathe. This time, 56 bombers, 45 torpedo planes, and 120 Zero fighters were escorted. Almost all the carrier-based aircraft on the four aircraft carriers were dispatched in three waves. Xiangmi Army aircraft carrier formation, intending to destroy their resistance in one fell swoop.

Because the air battle is two hundred nautical miles away, which is beyond visual range, it is naturally impossible to see the situation of the air battle directly. Ozawa Jisaburo hurriedly got off the bridge and entered the war room. Although the distance has exceeded the communication distance of the telephone, the airborne radio The latest battle situation will still be transmitted to the war room.

Although there was no gunpowder in the war room, Ozawa Jisaburo quickly felt the smell of gunpowder from the news that came back, and what came back was not the good news that the locust army was advancing triumphantly.

The first wave of offensive aircraft was intercepted by Mi Army fighter jets at a distance of 180 nautical miles, and it was the new model of the Mi Army's exercise-f6f Hellcat that carried out the interception mission.

The locust army has been at a disadvantage since the beginning of the air battle. Although the locust army pilots have the advantage in terms of military literacy, the Mi army is obviously prepared for a long time. advantage, and the huge Hellcat is equipped with heavy armor in the two key positions of the aircraft fuel tank and the flight compartment. The firepower is two 12.7mm cannons and four 7.7mm machine guns. mm machine guns, their firepower is too powerful.

Based on these factors, coupled with the disadvantage in the number of fighters, the first wave of attacks suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the [-] zero battles were lost. However, as the second and third waves of fighters arrived, the situation did not change. Reversed by the Locust Army, the number of interceptor fighters of the Mi Army is too large, which is [-] to [-]% higher than that of the Locust Army. In addition, they seem to be completely familiar with the weaknesses of the Zero War. The defensive zero battles were shot down one by one. Although the locust pilots fought with the Mi army with their superb flying skills, they still could not tear their defense line, and the purpose of covering the torpedo planes and bombers for strategic bombing could not be realized.

Under such circumstances, Ozawa Jisaburo urgently stopped the attack and ordered them to return quickly. At the same time, he ordered the naval forces to prepare for air defense, cover the landing of fighter jets, and be ready to attack possible enemy bombers and torpedo planes at any time.

The air battle was severely damaged, and it is entirely possible for the Mi Army to take advantage of the chaos to attack the aircraft carrier fleet of the Locust Army. This kind of vigilance must be present. At the same time, Ozawa Jisaburo did not forget to report this emergency to Yamamoto, who is in the rear of the third assault fleet. General 56 asked the two fleets in the rear to quickly move closer to him in case of a large-scale air attack by the Mi Army.

Fortunately, what Jisaburo Ozawa was worried about did not happen. The Mi Army Air Force resolutely gave up the pursuit after entering the range of the naval guns, and all returned. The carrier-based aircraft of the Locust Army also began to land on the aircraft carrier.
