In this day and age, radios were still a rarity, and they could not even be fully equipped in the military, let alone civilian ones. There is a radio for civilian use, and that is the enjoyment of the middle class.

The fishermen who go out to sea to fish are the poorest of the people, but they are still patriotic.

"Quick, quick, go back, be sure to report this news to the headquarters." Running the fishing boat were father and son, the father looked old, with gray hair on his head, his back hunched up, the sun tanning his skin, but his eyes were still bright.

The son was very young, it seemed that he was not yet fifteen years old, and at such a young age, he was already drifting at sea with his father, and at this time, the son drove the diesel engine in the tail to the maximum, and in the rumbling sound, the fishing boat was heading in the direction of Midway.

Fishing boats are civilian, this kind of boat can do a lot of things, in later generations, fishing boats follow the back of a certain country's warship to catch sonar buoys, the other party throws as much as they want, so that a certain country is extremely annoyed but has no tricks.

And now, fishing boats are the eyes of the navy, they are much better than reconnaissance aircraft, because they are spread over a wide area, and even if it is a coincidence, it will create countless coincidences.

It's a pity that they have already been seen by the islanders.

When the fishing boat was spotted, Vice Admiral Nobutake Kondo immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately said, "Catapult the seaplane!" ”

In this era, as long as it was a heavy warship, it was loaded with a seaplane with a pontoon, which could play a lot of roles, reconnaissance, artillery calibration, and now such a handling of fishing boats.

Soon, a small air reconnaissance aircraft of the Air Technician Factory E14Y Zero ejected from the side of the cruiser and flew quickly towards the target.

Although it is also called the Zero, it has no relationship with the famous Zero fighter, and those who are familiar with the naming of the weapons of the island country should know that it is named according to the name of the people's era.

This is a three-seat reconnaissance aircraft, the fuselage and wings are made of aluminum alloy and the wing ends are wooden, the wings can be folded to save storage space in the ship, at this time, after the catapult takeoff, the lid of the cabin is opened, and they fly quickly towards the fishing boat in the distance.

The man in the middle, picking up a tweeter in his hand, shouted to the lower in unskilled tongue-twisting English: "Listen to the fishing boat ahead, please stop immediately, wait on the water, please stop immediately!" ”

They didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, now that this place was too close to Midway, if they fired a cannon to kill it, it would definitely be discovered by Midway, and they could only solve it in this peaceful way.

If the fishing boats below are obedient.

"Daddy, are we going to stop?" The son asked.

"No, let's move on, we don't have to deal with them." Father said.

Keep it on!

The reconnaissance plane circled the fishing boat twice, shouting incessantly, and did not see any signs of stopping the fishing boat, and finally, the machine gunner in the back seat could not help himself.

He pushed the machine gun behind him and fired a three-point shot at the sea: "Dada-da-da." ”

The bullet hit the water and splashed a column of water more than a meter high, accompanied by a chirping sound, which was already the last warning.

"Keep going!" At this time, my father still did not give up.

Fishing boats are still advancing.

This time, the machine gunner's bullets swept down the side of the ship, from the front to the back, sending the ship flying sawdust, and they couldn't wait any longer, they had to be killed!

In the open sea, the sound of machine guns can be heard from up to three kilometers away, and if they are allowed to continue driving in the direction of Midway, they will not be able to hear their guns at Midway!

The father fell, a large hole in his chest, and just as the other man was fired, he jerked his son into the water, and himself, shot by a roaring machine-gun bullet.

At this distance, his son can swim back, and he himself has to move on!

His hand was firmly in control of the rudder, and the fishing boat continued to stubbornly move in the direction of Midway, his other hand blocking the hole in his chest, his blood constantly flowing out, and his vision blurred.

Finally, it was pitch black in front of his eyes, he lost all consciousness, and the fishing boat was still heading in the direction of Midway!

"Da-da-da-da." The machine gunner in the back seat opened fire again, this time, bursting the engine in the back, and suddenly the ship burst into brilliant flames on the sea.

"Matsuda, you idiot, you messed things up!" The pilot in front couldn't help but curse.

The fishing boat was on fire in the sea, and now it was about to get dark, and the light of the fire would reveal its tracks, and the people on the island would see that something was wrong.

Midway.

It consists of Thunder Island, East Island and Spit Island, and at this time, on Thunder Island, Henderson Airport, which the U.S. Navy has established, a flight runway that runs almost the entire length of the island, looks very clear.

Midway is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and is an alternate landing point for many intercontinental airliners, and can land here in the event of an accident, and this airport, now functioning, is still military.

It's just that there are not a few planes in the base now, and most of the planes have been transferred to the Aleutian Islands to prepare for the war there, and there is only one squadron of water reconnaissance planes here, together with the rest of the base, the total number is less than 800.

In the distance of the runway, at the top of a hill, a large radar station is working, countless electromagnetic waves fill the sky, once it detects a situation, it will immediately sound the alarm, through the submarine cable to Hawaii, to Washington, to the White House.

The radar of this era has many limitations, and it can only detect aircraft above a certain altitude, so the carrier-based seaplane ejected by the navy of the island country was not observed at all.

It was another boring day, and one of the radar soldiers walked out of the radar station, looked outside, and suddenly, his eyes widened. In the distance, on the surface of the sea, a fire appeared!

Night has fallen, what is that fire?

"Damn, what's that? Quick, report to your superiors! The radar soldier shouted, and he rushed back to the radar station, grabbing the phone on the table.

At the beginning, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, the vigilance of the US military was very low, even if the radar spotted the plane, they thought it was their own, but now, with the beginning of the brutal Pacific War, they have become completely vigilant.

The situation is unusual, this fire means the situation!

"Assemble, the entire army on the island, immediately raise your alert!" Colonel Lord, the commander of Midway, shouted, putting on his military uniform and carrying a pistol, and wanted to go out to check his combat readiness.
