Fletcher was also plagued by problems, and in the course of the morning, his fleet suffered heavy losses, and even lost the capital to continue the war.

The USS Raider was sunk by Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and his flagship, the USS Hornet, is now under siege by the Japanese.

In the end, the miracle did not happen, and the Japanese army, with superior forces, had already occupied an absolute advantage in the Battle of Midway.

Although three aircraft carriers withdrew from the battle, the Japanese still had a huge superiority in strength, and the balance of victory had begun to tilt in favor of the Japanese.

Yamamoto's battleship fleet finally approached Midway in the midst of the chaos, and nothing could be changed.

"The second batch of attack aircraft groups, no news yet?" Looking at his men, Fletcher felt a little ashamed of his boss.

Nimitz secured as many ships as he could, but he still couldn't turn the tide.

"Boom!" "Boom!" The Japanese battleships had already begun to pour their own shells on Midway, because the area of Midway was too small, so these shells actually fell on the American airfield.

On the battleship Nagato, Yamamoto Isoroku smiled, holding his binoculars, looking at Midway, which was already shrouded in black smoke in his field of vision.

"Your Excellency, General! The battleship Mutsu had already fired a salvo once, and the target was silent...... The enemy airfield is finished! The officer walked in and saluted.

Yamamoto Fifty-six politely waved his hand, put down the binoculars and ordered, "Order the fleet to continue shelling...... Until Midway is completely silent. ”

He hated this island so much, and he wanted to make the American troops on this island disappear completely, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

How many years did the Great Japanese Empire work hard to amass such a large and powerful combined fleet?

As a result, this small Battle of Midway caused heavy losses to three Japanese main aircraft carriers wounded.

As the commander of the Japanese front, Yamamoto Fifty-six hated ah, hated the stubborn resistance of the US army, and hated that this terrible enemy had to be buried with Japan when he was dying.

"Wouldn't there be no such things if you surrender obediently......" In the bottom of my heart, Yamamoto Fifty-six thought so.

However, his face was not revealed, and he still looked at Midway, which had been baptized by cannonballs in the distance.

The six Japanese battleships, including the Kongo-class and the Nagato-class, so many battleships were gathered together, and the power of destruction shook the heavens and the earth.

Midway seemed to tremble at the sound of cannons, and the American troops on the island had almost nowhere to hide - there were too few islands, and the deployment of American troops was too dense......

Countless seemingly very strong fortifications, in fact, a single shell of the Japanese army was enough to completely destroy all the trenches and bunkers in the vicinity.

The naval cannon with a caliber of more than 300 mm is a terrifying existence that the army can never imagine.

The Japanese army had a full 24 guns of this caliber, which was not inferior to the number of German train guns combined.

The German army's accumulation of 4 battleships in the Gulf of Finland was already a headache for Marshal Voroshilov in the city of Leningrad, not to mention that Midway was far from being as huge as Leningrad.

The Japanese also had two more battleships than the Germans had assembled in the Gulf of Finland, which raised the firepower to another terrible level.

"Boom!" With the sound of metal grinding, the front No. 1 main gun of the battleship Nagato, which had bombarded a cannonball, began to return to its loading position.

The machine began to run, and under the heavy steel plate, the motor pushed the lever to make various movements, transporting the propellant in the ammunition room to the elevator, which then pushed it to the inside of the main turret.

The well-trained gunners of the Japanese army, shouting the slogan "Long live His Majesty the Emperor", pushed a special caliber 410-mm shell into the medicine room.

The soldiers were busy and nervous, ready as fast as they could, ready for all the preparations needed for another shot.

"Boom!" At this time, the X turret in the stern of the battleship roared and fired another 410 mm caliber shell.

On an American island in the distance, a huge explosion kicked up black smoke as high as a twenty-story building, and the sound of the explosion stirred in the air.

The runway of the US airfield had long been destroyed, and the surrounding anti-aircraft gun positions were empty, and the Japanese artillery shells could only turn these facilities into ruins.

Anti-aircraft guns, covered under camouflage nets, shook in the sound of shells. The airplanes at the airfield were thrown into the air by shells, and then fell heavily and became scrap metal.

There are still about 150 planes of various types on the island, all of which are now unable to take off.

What made the U.S. military even more uncomfortable was that the infantry, which had been assembled with great difficulty, seemed to have no place to use at this time.

On the small islands, without naval support and air force cover, no matter how many infantry there are, they are just targets and cannon fodder.

If Li Le is allowed to judge, the fate of these American troops on Midway Island will be no different from that of the Japanese troops on Iwo Jima.

The battle had come to this point, the Japanese had won the Battle of Midway, and now the question left was how much they could win.

"The second American aircraft carrier has not been sunk yet?" Seeing that the American positions on the island were completely silent, Yamamoto turned his attention to the American fleet behind him.

As long as he can calmly destroy this American fleet, then he has the capital to attack Hawaii.

In such an exchange, the damage to the three aircraft carriers will not become unbearable.

After all, they were only wounded, and after repairs, these warships were able to return to the battlefield. Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at his subordinates and urged: "Let Nagumo Tadaichi continue to attack, and give me priority to sink the US aircraft carrier!" ”

"Hey!" His subordinates bowed their heads and left the bridge with orders. Yamamoto fifty-six picked up the telescope in his hand again and looked at Midway Island in the distance.

"Is it necessary to suspend shelling...... After all, in a few hours, it will be our territory......" he muttered quietly, and no one could hear what he was saying.

"Let the fleet continue to shell!" After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and instructed another herald officer: "Send a telegram to the landing fleet and let them advance to the designated position!" ”

"Hey!" Hearing his order, the officer who gave the order pressed the command knife and bowed his head in agreement.

Seeing that the other party bowed his head to receive the order, Yamamoto Fifty-six continued to order: "When they are in place, send a confirmation telegram!" The whole army began a landing operation...... Before dawn tomorrow, I'm going to take Midway! ”
