During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate
Chapter 311 The crazy beginning
It turned out that Yamamoto knew very well that it would not be easy to get his carefully planned plan passed.
So he resolutely took an extreme measure - threatening to resign, and emphasized the vital importance of destroying the Eagle Sauce aircraft carrier fleet to the entire war situation.
Faced with such a tough attitude and unquestionable rhetoric, the Naval General Staff finally realized the seriousness of the situation and began to seriously consider Yamamoto's proposal.
Finally, after intense discussions and weighing of the pros and cons, the General Staff chose to compromise and agreed to Yamamoto's plan.
When the order carrying hope and mission was officially handed down to Yamamoto, one can imagine the irrepressible excitement and excitement surging in his heart.
After all, for a born gambler like Yamamoto, he is most obsessed with the intense excitement brought by being in such a critical moment of life and death and unpredictable outcome. At the same time, he is also extremely eager to taste the incomparable feeling of exhilaration after victory.
At this moment, everything seemed to be developing in an orderly manner according to the script set by Yamamoto in advance.
Immediately afterwards, he issued a series of detailed and decisive combat orders to his fleet without hesitation...
"Gentlemen, the order has been issued. Please execute according to the following plan."
"This plan is codenamed Operation Mi, and its main contents are as follows."
"Strategic objectives: First, to capture Midway Island as a forward air base, thereby enabling early detection of enemy forces moving westward from the Hawaiian Islands; second, to lure out the remnants of the Eagle Sauce Pacific Fleet, engage it in a decisive battle, and annihilate it."
“Force deployment: approximately 200 ships deployed in 10 coordinated forces.
Submarine alert force: responsible for detecting and attacking the US fleet.
Main Northern Force: Capture Attu and Kiska Islands.
Second Mobile Force: Support the Northern Force and carry out air strikes on related islands.
Nanyun Mobile Force: Commanded by Nanyun, it includes 4 heavy aircraft carriers, more than 250 carrier-based aircraft, and is escorted by 2 battleships, 2 heavy cruisers and 1 team of destroyers. It is responsible for air strikes on Midway Island and seeking opportunities to destroy the enemy.
Midway Landing Force: responsible for landing operations.
Seaplane carrier force: capture Kure Island and support the landing.
Main force of the Midway attack: ensure the safety of the transport fleet.
Aleutian Guard Force: responsible for guarding.
Yamamoto's main fleet: led by Yamamoto himself, including 3 battleships, destroyers and 1 light aircraft carrier, with Yamato as the flagship.
11th Air Fleet Land-Based Air Force: Led by Tsukahara 243, providing reconnaissance and air cover.
"Operational strategy: First, send the main northern force to attack the Aleutian Islands, landing on Attu and Kiska to draw the US fleet's attention to the north. Then, the Nanyun mobile force will take the opportunity to launch an air strike on Midway Island. When the US fleet arrives to support Midway Island, Yamamoto will personally lead the main fleet to engage in a decisive battle with the US fleet and annihilate it."
After he recounted the entire detailed and meticulous plan in a calm and firm tone, the atmosphere in the entire Combined Fleet Command instantly became tense and serious.
Every commander is fully aware of the importance and risks of this operation.
However, they did not hesitate to quickly throw themselves into their respective jobs and carried out a series of complex and orderly action deployments in an orderly manner.
From this moment on, Isoroku Yamamoto and the Combined Fleet he commanded were like a giant ship, resolutely embarking once again on the gambling road full of unknowns and variables.
Time passed quietly, and finally this special day of decisive significance arrived.
The early morning sun shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle, as if foreshadowing the upcoming fierce confrontation.
The Japanese fleet was like a group of hungry wolves, advancing at full speed towards Midway Island.
At the same time, they split their forces into two groups.
Another part of the force quietly rushed to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands and launched a fierce air attack.
This sudden attack marked the beginning of the Aleutian Islands campaign, and its purpose was obviously to distract the Eagle Sauce by creating chaos.
However, what the Japanese did not expect was that the Eagle Sauce had already seen through Yamamoto's overall plan.
Faced with the enemy's carefully planned conspiracy, the Eagle Sauce side did not lose its composure at all.
On the contrary, the experienced and calm Admiral Nimitz decisively led a powerful fleet consisting of the Enterprise, Hornet and the Yorktown aircraft carriers which had regained their combat effectiveness after emergency repairs. He quietly set up a dragnet in the waters northeast of Midway Island, quietly waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was morning.
The dense formation of carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Nanyun Mobile Force appeared over Midway Island like a swarm of locusts, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
With the commander's order, these fighter planes rushed towards Midway Island like arrows, officially sounding the battle horn for the air raid on Midway Island.
In an instant, deafening explosions rang out one after another, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
The USS Midway base suffered an unprecedentedly fierce attack, with buildings collapsed, facilities severely damaged, and casualties increasing.
Despite this, thanks to the tenacious will to resist and strong fortifications, the core area of Midway Island was still held and was not completely destroyed by the Japanese's heavy bombing.
At this moment, the Eagle Sauce's plane took off early and quickly launched an evacuation operation like a nimble falcon.
Some of the brave and fearless fighter planes decisively swooped down on the Japanese fleet and launched a fierce counterattack.
However, despite the best efforts of these brave pilots, they failed to cause serious substantial damage to the Japanese fleet.
At the same time, from the distant Midway Island and the huge aircraft carriers, one American plane after another took off into the sky like a swarm of locusts. With endless anger and determination, they rushed towards the Japanese fleet, and a thrilling air duel began.
The first to attack were the torpedo plane formations carrying deadly torpedoes.
Although their attack did not immediately yield significant results, it succeeded in causing deep concern in Nan Yun's heart.
He began to worry whether there would be a continuous stream of fierce attacks to follow.
After careful consideration, Nagumo made a crucial decision - he believed that a second bombing of Midway Island must be carried out to completely eliminate the potential threat.
So, an urgent order was issued to all aircraft carriers.
Immediately replace the torpedoes on the carrier-based aircraft that were originally intended to attack the Eagle Sauce Fleet with powerful bombs!
This decision undoubtedly became a turning point in the entire battle.
