Twenty minutes later, Admiral Yamamoto approved Jizaburo Ozawa's tactical bombardment, ordering him to intensify his implementation, and at the same time ordering the First Assault Fleet to rapidly pursue the Third Fleet of the United Army, and to deal with them before capturing Midway.

Ozawa was overjoyed and immediately ordered the fleet to pursue at full speed, and the air force was ready to attack.

The locust army on the aircraft carrier began to get busy, the reconnaissance planes began to take off, preparing for the routine expansion of the search before the war, and some fighters also immediately took to the air and arranged the outer defense line to prevent the Mi army from sneaking up again, and the planes that had already been loaded with torpedoes immediately returned to the hangar and replaced them with high-explosive bombs for ground attack.

Half an hour later, everything was ready, Ozawa confirmed the distance for the last time, and the staff reported that the First Assault Fleet was four hundred and sixty nautical miles from Midway, and thirty nautical miles from the First Assault Fleet of the Mi Army.

Ozawa immediately showed a wicked smile on his face, raised his arms high, and was just about to give the order for the air force to attack Midway, when a senior staff officer stumbled onto the bridge and reported to Ozawa in a panic that the reconnaissance plane had found more than 10 enemy warships at a distance of 150 nautical miles from the right flank, but had not found the aircraft carrier.

Ozawa's expression was frozen, and it was not good news to find out that there were enemy ships on the flanks at this time, so he immediately roared: "Order the reconnaissance plane to expand the search to find out whether there are aircraft carriers behind the enemy ships and how many are there?" ”

"Hay!"

The staff officer quickly turned to leave, and Ozawa began to not calm down, pacing back and forth on the bridge.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and another staff officer walked onto the bridge, and Ozawa thought that he had brought news of the reconnaissance plane, and hurried to meet him, but who knew that the staff officer reported that the forward troops were already only 450 nautical miles away from Midway, and the air force requested to take off immediately to carry out the task of bombing Midway.

"Yaga!"

Ozawa roared, slapped the staff wheel to the ground, and an enemy ship appeared on the right flank in front of him, if there is an aircraft carrier behind the enemy ship, it can only show that the Mi army is premeditated to outflank the locust army, and the locust army is already in a dangerous situation, what is there to attack Midway Island at this juncture? There is no common sense at all, this slap is his own slap.

The staff officer quickly got up and stood in front of Ozawa with a red face, expecting to be scolded by Ozawa again, but Ozawa was no longer in the mood to pay attention to him, because one of the previous staff officers had also appeared on the bridge.

The staff officer reported that the reconnaissance planes on the right flank had already determined that two aircraft carriers had been found 20 nautical miles behind the enemy ships, flying British flags, and they were initially suspected to be the British East India Fleet; at the same time, the reconnaissance planes on the left flank had also discovered the Seventh Fleet of the Mi Army, also two aircraft carriers, which were about the same distance as the right flank, and they were also 150 nautical miles.

Ozawa suddenly felt that his head was "Weng", his body flickered, and he almost didn't fall to the ground, the Mi army was already so close to them, and completely entered the attack distance of the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, but even if they chased the Third Fleet fiercely, the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft on the left and right flanks did not go to support, which can only show that a huge conspiracy is already waiting for the locust army, and the locust army is only afraid that it has entered the enemy's ambush circle at this moment, and the so-called military exercise is simply a conspiracy, a conspiracy to lure the locust army into falling for it.

Moreover, the Mi Army even mobilized the British East India Fleet this time, and the aircraft carriers participating in this battle are by no means the seven that the Locust Army knows, so where are the remaining two or more aircraft carriers at this time?

These questions came to Ozawa's mind, and his scalp was numb and his legs were weak.

"Retreat, retreat, drip, order all ships in front to retreat immediately! All fighters immediately took off and prepared to meet the enemy, and the bombers immediately replaced their torpedoes and were ready to take to the air at any time to attack the Mi fleet, hurry up! ”

Ozawa suddenly danced and howled, and all the staff officers and generals also immediately took action, scattering like birds and beasts.

In the next five minutes, Ozawa received reports from reconnaissance planes in three directions one after another, and found that a large number of enemy planes were flying towards them, more than 100 on each flank on the left and right flanks, especially in the direction of Midway Island in the front, and the number of planes covering the sky and the sun was incalculable.

Ozawa was completely panicked, because the bombs were replaced twice in a row, and in order to save time, the bombs were stacked on the deck, and the planes had to return to the hangar to replace the torpedoes, and the deck was already a mess.

However, at this time, the first batch of fighters released asked for landing and refueling, which made Ozawa even more messy, if the planes were not allowed to land, they would definitely run out of fuel and crash at sea, so Ozawa had to vacate the runway, first take back the first batch of fighters, and then release all the fighters on the aircraft carrier.

It took nearly half an hour to go back and forth, and by the time the fighters began to take off, the sky over the entire circular fleet was already densely packed, full of fighters and bombers of the Mi Army.

The Dafeng is better, because it is the flagship, the position is relatively backward, and the fighters still flew into the sky smoothly, and the other three aircraft carriers were not so lucky, and many planes were shot down just after taking off.

The pilots of the Mi Army completely ignored the dense anti-aircraft fire network of the locust army, and frantically poured down bombs and torpedoes, and the scene got out of control in an instant, and the entire sea surface was full of flames and cannons, and the water column was several tens of meters high.

Fortunately, the first arrival of the Mi army was only the carrier-based aircraft that took off from the aircraft carrier on the left flank, and the number was only more than 100, and it is estimated that the planes on the right flank were attacking the second assault fleet, otherwise this first round of attacks would have caused the locust army to lose its armor.

Amid the terrible sound of air defense sirens, Ozawa Jizaburo commanded the locust army to resist with all its might, and on the other hand, ordered an urgent distress message to be sent to General Yamamoto 56, requesting the rapid support of the Third Fleet air force in the rear.

But the bad news came again, a large number of aircraft suddenly appeared in the direction of Midway, but this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that the giant aerial bombs dropped from the B-24 heavy bombers can actually fly autonomously and automatically find targets, and the Musashi bore the brunt of the attack, being hit by two giant aerial bombs in one minute, and in less than three minutes, the Musashi disappeared into the sea.

As soon as he heard the bad news, Ozawa Jizaburo immediately trembled and his face turned white, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his face like raindrops, if it wasn't for the guards around him to support him in time, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

The battleship Musashi is the second ship of the Imperial Yamato-class battleships, claiming to be one of the largest battleships in the world, and its armor thickness is simply not the same as that of ordinary battleships.

Ozawa Jizaburo instantly realized that everything was as he had estimated before, the so-called exercise was really a huge trap, and the Mi army led the locust army into their ambush circle step by step, and the real killer weapon was these so-called "giant aerial bombs", so that what awaited the locust army was probably a nightmare that would never wake up.
