[Congratulations to the host for destroying 3 Japanese aircraft carriers, earning a total of 50 x 3 = 150 million points]

Not to mention the three aircraft carriers.

Those Japanese frigates and destroyers that were destroyed.

Of course, this was thanks to the 100 TBF Avenger torpedo bombers following the US torpedo bombers.

However, they were surrounded and intercepted by a total of 100 TBF Avenger torpedo bombers.

Only a few of the Japanese destroyers and frigates were destroyed.

It’s not that Qin Long’s torpedo bombers are not powerful.

After all, it is thanks to the bonus of his passive skill Encouragement.

All torpedoes launched by ships and torpedo bombers in his fleet can correct their trajectories within a certain error range.

The reason why only a few Japanese destroyers and frigates were destroyed was mainly because their forces were too dispersed.

This was also another major strategic mistake made by Isoroku Yamamoto in the Battle of Midway!

You know, the Japanese deployed a total of 200 ships of various sizes for the Battle of Midway!

Among them, there are 8 aircraft carriers, 11 battleships, 22 cruisers, 65 destroyers and 21 submarines.

At the same time, the Japanese had more than 600 carrier-based aircraft to cooperate with the naval forces to participate in the war.

The total number of American fleets participating in the war was only 27 ships, including the US troops on Midway Island.

With such a huge gap in strength, generally speaking, as long as the Japanese don't act recklessly and command properly, they should win.

But it's because their troops are too dispersed.

The entire combined fleet was divided into 6 squadrons relatively evenly, and each fleet acted separately.

As a result, they were unable to form a joint force in the battle, resulting in the Japanese army's superiority in strength not being brought into play.

Yamamoto Jūsiroku even deployed part of his fleet between Midway Island and Pearl Harbor, intending to intercept the remaining defeated American fleet.

Therefore, the only fleet that could seriously compete with the three aircraft carriers of the US fleet was Chuichi Nagumo's Nagumo Fleet.

This is equivalent to a fight between two parties, one with 200 people and the other with only 30 people.

But among the larger group, more than 160 people were posing outside, and only more than 30 people were actually fighting with the other side.

Isn't this pure brain damage?!

Moreover, because the US military had the support of the troops on Midway Island, its number of aircraft even formed a local advantage over the Japanese Nanyun Fleet...

If they could just concentrate their forces.

It would not even make it so that the aircraft carriers of the Nanyun fleet would be unable to protect themselves when attacked by the US military.

They could only rely on continuously launching fighter jets to drive away the US torpedo bombers, but in the end they were taken advantage of by the US dive bombers.

After all, the Japanese were defeated so easily in the Battle of Midway because three of their heavy aircraft carriers were destroyed at the beginning of the war!

This directly led to their remaining battleships and cruisers being used as monkeys by the US fleet using carrier-based aircraft outside the range of their anti-aircraft firepower.

So it was not unfair at all that the Japanese lost the Battle of Midway!

Even if there weren't those "five minutes of fate", the Japanese would have lost!

Of course, a big part of the reason for this is that the US military has cracked the Japanese Navy's telegraph codes.

In addition, the US military launched a series of reconnaissance aircraft, including the Catalina seaplane, to carry out large-scale maritime reconnaissance operations against the Japanese.

The US military knew exactly the Japanese fleet's movement location, number of aircraft carriers and other intelligence.

On the other hand, the Japanese were completely in the dark about the US military and had no information at all.

Therefore, the Battle of Midway seemed to be very unexpected, but in fact the US fleet had already established victory from the very beginning!

This also once again verifies a sentence in Longguo's "The Art of War"!

Know yourself and know your enemy! Only then can you win every battle!

Ten forty.

The Japanese attack formation consisted of 18 Type 6 dive bombers and Type Zero fighters.

Following their accidental discovery, the US VB-3 bomber squadron found the USS Yorktown and launched an attack on it.

The USS Yorktown was hit by three bombs, but after the US crew's strenuous repairs, it regained its ability to sail.

Half past eleven.

Chuichi Nagumo and his staff moved to the cruiser Nagara and began to assemble the remaining fleet.

One forty in the afternoon.

The Japanese mistook the USS Yorktown, an American aircraft carrier that had already extinguished its fire and restored its ability to sail, for another aircraft carrier.

And launched a second attack on it.

The Yorktown was hit by two torpedoes and suffered heavy damage.

Rear Admiral Fletcher was forced to transfer to the cruiser Astoria and handed over command to Rear Admiral Spruance.

Two forty-five.

The Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryu was discovered by the US military, and the US military immediately launched an attack on it!

Three o'clock sharp.

Captain Buckmaster of the USS Yorktown was forced to order the abandonment of ship.

However, what they did not expect was that the USS Yorktown did not sink.

So they returned to the ship and tried to tow the Yorktown back to Pearl Harbor with a tugboat.

After two hours of fierce fighting.

4:45 pm.

Haiwei received Qin Long's order in advance.

At a very precise time, he ordered the attack formation to take off for the second time and take away the Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryu before the US military.

At the same time, 100 TBF Avenger torpedo bombers had already secretly circled to the other side of the battlefield.

Then they threw all the torpedoes they carried at the remaining Japanese fleet that had just been gathered by Chuichi Nagumo!

Cruiser Nagara.

"Bagaya road!"

Just now, Chuichi Nagumo witnessed with his own eyes the attack of nearly a hundred "Dauntless" dive bombers on their Hiryu aircraft carrier.

And the sky is full of "US military" (Hellcat) fighter jets!

Now it just wants to curse:

"Damn Americans! Where did they get so many carrier-based aircraft?!"

"There must be some American aircraft carrier we haven't discovered yet! Quick! Send the reconnaissance..."

"General! Something bad has happened!"

At this time, the Japanese sonar monitor on the cruiser Nagara screamed in a tone full of fear:

"Torpedoes! Lots of torpedoes!"
