Chapter 11, Trafficking

Early the next morning, the team began to prepare for the transition. The fighter jets hung up the auxiliary fuel tanks, and the pilots were on standby in the lounge, and they all learned the specific destination at this time, and sure enough, it was Midway.

Groups of planes took off, and soon it was Ron's turn, mechanically refueled and inspected the newly assigned P40. Just waiting for him to board the plane.

Just as Ron stood up and was about to walk out of the break room, Wing Commander Major Braun and another officer in Navy uniform walked in. The man was Rear Admiral Peterson, commander of the aviation unit aboard the Yorktown.

The two walked straight up to Ron.

"Second Lieutenant Ron, I now announce the new assignment that the Army Air Corps has assigned you," said Major Braun aloud, "and as of today, you will be temporarily seconded to the USS Yorktown for combat duty. ”

Before Ron could understand it, Rear Admiral Peterson stepped forward and patted Ron on the shoulder enthusiastically: "I forced you over, I hope it won't upset you." He stopped, staring into Ron's eyes, as if he really wanted to see if Ron was really upset. Alright, my car is waiting for us outside, young man, let's go. ”

Sitting in the back seat of the jeep, Major Peterson began to brief Ron.

"We're three days away. Everyone thinks you are very talented in air combat command. We feel that we need [a^book^read^novel][.[ yb][du].] Your help. Especially these days, we need your help us to complete the training of the new tactics. Time is pressing, let's go straight to the airport. ”

An hour later, the vehicle pulled into an airport and stopped in front of the tower. Just not far away, two F4Fs are landing on the runway.

Entering the tower, Ron found it very lively, with many small flags of different colors on a large chart. Apparently, the tower is directing training based on the information provided by the radar.

At the same time, in the Pacific Ocean, a large fleet was speeding up. It was a formidable fleet consisting of 26 large and small ships, including 4 large aircraft carriers: Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Wyvern. They were surrounded by the battleships Haruna and Kirishima of the Second Squadron of the Third Battleship Squadron, the heavy cruisers Tone and Tsukuma of the Eighth (Heavy) Cruiser Squadron, and the light cruiser Nagara and 12 other destroyers and 5 supply ships of the 10th Destroyer Squadron. This is a victorious division, and the strength of this fleet alone has already overwhelmed the entire US Pacific Fleet. And there was an even larger fleet of ships sailing for several hours behind him: the main fleet of Isoroku Yamamoto, which consisted of 1 aircraft carrier, 2 seaplane carriers, 19 carrier-based aircraft, 50 seaplanes, 7 battleships, 3 light cruisers, 21 destroyers, and 4 supply ships!

The commander of the second squadron of the 3rd Battleship Squadron, Mitsuru Takama, stood on the bridge and looked out through the glass. Now the sea is a little windy, and the waves are gradually getting bigger. But this was nothing for a huge battleship, and the waves were swept by the wind, crashing against the plowshare-like bow, and then split into flying droplets by the huge, solid bow, which were blown up like smoke and rain by the wind, drifted over the huge turrets, all the way under the bridge, and then dissipated into nowhere. Since the Meiji Emperor, the empire has been like this warship, which has weathered many storms, but has been able to break through all obstacles and forge ahead. Both the Beiyang Naval Division of the Chinese and the Far Eastern Fleet of the Russians once rushed to their faces like the wind and waves in front of them, but they were completely destroyed by the power of the empire in a blink of an eye, like a splash of water at the bow of the ship. Now that the empire is once again facing a great challenge, if it can defeat the United States, the empire's journey will be smooth sailing, and the great ambition of the Meiji Emperor to conquer the world will be realized in the hands of his own generation. Just like in the lyrics.

"The loud roar of artillery is the only thunder in the storm!

The warship swept over the waves,

The light of the empire is shining! ”

Thinking of this, Takama Wan felt his heart fluctuate and he couldn't help himself. When Marshal Heihachiro Togo raised the Z-shaped flag in the Battle of Tsushima and issued an order to the entire Combined Fleet, "The rise and fall of the empire will be fought here, and the princes must fight bravely to kill the enemy," he must have felt the same way. It's a pity that at that time the battleships were still the decisive force, and now, those ugly fly ships have actually become the creators of some of the previous victories, and the Imperial Navy actually wants to use noble battleships to escort those fly ships.

On the fly ship the Flying Dragon, which Takama was looking at from afar, Rear Admiral Tabun Yamaguchi was also pondering. This battle is not only to capture Midway, but the more important goal is to draw out the US Pacific Fleet and give them a devastating blow. Completely wipe out the Pacific Fleet and expose the West Coast of the United States to the Japanese fleet. Perhaps only in this way can Commander Yamamoto's vision be realized, forcing the United States to bow its head and negotiate. Since the beginning of the war, the Imperial Army has been invincible, and there is a sense of optimism within the Empire, where the ignorant populace marches every day with lanterns to celebrate victory after victory, believing that the Empire can easily defeat the United States. Now not only the ignorant people, but also the dirt buns of the army, think so, and even, even within the navy, some ignorant old guys and little guys think that the empire can defeat the United States in the same way that Russia has been defeated. These red deer have no idea how terrible America is. He remembered the conversation he had with Admiral Yamamoto the other day. Those red deer in the army, especially the brainless red deer in Tojo, have promised to make peace with the United States as soon as possible. But if this war is won, will the United States definitely make peace? Are the red deer in the military department, who were carried away by the victory, willing to stop? Even if the U.S. Pacific Fleet is completely destroyed, Japan will win? No, both Yamaguchi and Admiral Yamamoto knew that with ten times the industry of the United States and Japan, it would not be long before a completely new and even more powerful Pacific Fleet could be rebuilt. They can easily overwhelm Japan with a pile of numbers. Before the war, Admiral Yamamoto said that the navy would last three to four years, and if the battle was won, it might be able to hold out for a longer time. Somehow, Yamaguchi suddenly remembered his wife, who usually likes to drink two sips of sake, and sometimes gets drunk and unconscious. His wife once advised: "You should cherish your body, if it is not for the night when the moon is in the sky or when the snowflakes are flying, it is not appropriate to drink." He replied at that time, "In my opinion, all the time is not the night when the moon is bright and the snow is flying." But since the outbreak of the war, there have been fewer and fewer such "moonlit nights or snowflakes flying." I don't know if I can have another one in the future.

Yesterday Yamaguchi and Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi had a conversation about the enemy's situation, and Yamaguchi was very worried about the US aircraft carriers, while Nagumo firmly believed that, according to intelligence, there were no more US aircraft carriers available in the area. His ease worries Yamaguchi, who has been troubled by a sense of foreboding these days.

However, Yamaguchi's emotions were not revealed. The officers and men of the fleet did not know at all the fears of the commander. Just like the pilot who was humming a song while walking not far away, he didn't feel worried at all. That pilot is called Yanagi Banditshi, from a famous family, and he is a young man. Because of his outstanding performance in an accident and his skillful skills, he had already received the rank of Shaozo at a young age. It's funny to talk about that accident.

That was a few years ago, Yanagi was still a new pilot, he and his troops were at Truk Airport at that time, equipped with some old biplanes, one day, a tornado suddenly blew, and the troops began to urgently transfer the planes on the tarmac into the hangar, but when there was still the last B4N Nakajima torpedo plane equipped with seagull wings, the tornado had approached the tarmac, and the commander of the unit called off the rescue operation, obviously, it was too late, everyone only watched the plane was destroyed by the tornado. Yanagi suddenly remembered that the plane was full of fuel, and if he ran over now and flew it before the tornado arrived, he would be able to save the emperor's plane. He knew that the commander of the unit would not agree to such a risk, so he ran like an airplane without others noticing, and with the foundation of the martial arts inherited from his family, he climbed into the plane like an agile ape, opened the cabin, got in, and then started the engine. The propellers spun and the plane staggered toward the runway, the tornado chasing after him. Those who found out all this were stunned. Just as the plane approached the runway, the tornado grabbed it, and the plane flicked its wings and flew vertically like a light skull. Everyone thought that Yagyu and the plane would be torn apart by the tornado and become a new tablet in Kudanzaka. However, when the tornado dissipated, the plane that was swept into the air fell almost vertically, but Yanagi leveled the plane at a height of less than a few meters above the ground, and finally landed safely with the plane. When he landed, it was discovered that the plane's horizontal tail was missing. Since then, Yanagi Bandit Stone has a nickname: Bandit Gull.

It's still a young man's happiness. Yamaguchi thought silently. Yanagi didn't notice that the commander was not far away. Still humming a song, he walked forward, and a breeze passed through the hall to bring his song into the ears of Yamaguchi:

"Across the sea, corpses float on the surface of the sea,

Across the mountains, corpses are everywhere.

Sacrifice your life for the emperor and treat death as if it were home......"

This chapter is dedicated to the Japanese soldiers who have been intimidating the military arena since the era of the Ship Knowledge Forum, and have continuously created such things as the Boeing 747 vertical take-off and landing, the Turtle Huaihai Campaign invested five million troops, the Japanese army's fully armed onboard charge speed can reach 10 m/s, the machine gun can't hit the Japanese soldiers running at full speed, the flamethrower can't burn the fast runners, 1 Zero can single-handedly take on 75 P51D and win, the 97 tank can penetrate the T34\85 head-on at a distance of 1000 meters, and the Bean Chariot can easily get the Tiger KingIf it weren't for the emperor's announcement that the end of the war against Japan in the northeast would have been able to completely annihilate the Soviet army of Vasilevsky, the most conscientious historical inventor, and the creator of low-carbon anti-tank technologies such as anti-tank bayonets, anti-tank vises, and anti-tank radio gymnastics, the famous Japanese powder - Bandit Gull. (For more information, please Baidu "Thief Gull's Nest" or "Pacific War".) In addition, pay attention to the fact that when watching the old bandit's article, you must be calm and calm again. According to unreliable rumors, the reason why Hirohito dared to start the Pacific War was because he strayed into the "den of the bandit gulls" when he was surfing the Internet. )

The bottle will try to reproduce these great theologies, (Khan, the pressure is huge) and shout to himself: Come on, old bandit!
