After a long time, the tank crew who fell into the crater climbed up in disgrace, which was really too pit!

The beach here should have been flat, but who would have thought that the sudden shelling just now made this place full of craters, and the inner fireboats in front did not pay attention, and in the dark, it was not easy for them to see, not to mention that the field of view inside the tank was even narrower, and just like that, it actually fell.

Fortunately, the emergency brake in the back bypassed, otherwise it would have gone down in a row.

By the time they climbed up, the other boats were already firing, and they were attacking the American troops gathered on the beachhead.

Bullets flew everywhere, and like the German amphibious infantry fighting vehicles, the armor of this internal fireboat was extremely weak, and it was exactly within the range of being able to carry machine gun bullets, so they could ignore the American machine guns and rush forward bravely.

At the same time, the infantry who followed behind also charged forward with the spirit of not fearing death, and some of them fell down after being shot, and those behind followed and ran forward by stepping on the corpses of their comrades.

In this case, it is simply impossible for the defenders to hold out for long, and it is almost inevitable that they will be killed.

Fortunately, the radio waves have been transmitted.

The main forces of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which were roaming in the waters near the Aleutian Islands, immediately realized what was going on, they had been deceived, and just when they thought that the islanders were going to attack the Aleutian Islands, the islanders actually attacked Midway.

The most terrifying thing this time is that the islanders actually landed on Midway! Once the islanders gain a foothold at Midway, they will immediately advance eastward, threatening the entire Hawaiian Islands, and the US Navy will not even be able to gain a foothold in the Pacific!

The task force, which got the news, immediately drove at full speed and headed south, and at the same time, in the White House, it was already early in the morning, and everyone was sleepy.

Nimitz was not there, he had already returned to Pearl Harbor, and now, Roosevelt looked at his thinkers, and said lightly: "We have been deceived, we have fallen into the scheme of the islanders, and now, Midway has fallen into the hands of the islanders." ”

If you are familiar with the Chinese art of war, you will know that this trick is called turning the tiger away from the mountain.

"Damn, the islanders must know that we've deciphered their code and use their telegrams to confuse us!" Marshall was also extremely angry on the side, who would have thought that deciphering the code would be a trap.

It's useless to complain, the most important thing now is how to deal with it, and the Pacific Ocean has ushered in the most dangerous scene.

"Our forces in Hawaii are very empty, and almost all the air power has been transferred to the Aleutian Islands." Marshall continued: "It will probably take a day or two for our navy to return at full speed, and it is likely that the islanders have already occupied a lot of the islands, and even their navy may ambush us and cause us heavy losses during the return of our navy." ”

To anticipate the worst-case scenario, almost all of the strategists present know that the worse the situation, the more they must not rush.

"I have an idea." At this moment, General Arnold, who had arrived urgently at the meeting, spoke: "Send our 58th Bomber Wing, depart from the base, and wait until dawn to fly to the waters of Midway, and then carry out a bombing of the island nation's aircraft carrier group." ”

Arnold, now a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, was involved in the study of strategic issues in the Great War, particularly the combat use of the American and British air forces, and later he was the founder of the United States Air Force. the belief that the Air Force will be a decisive factor in future wars; Air superiority is a prerequisite for victory in any land or naval battle. Emphasizing the role of strategic bombing, he advocated that the US Air Force should take the strategic air force as the core; Attaching importance to technological superiority, he proposed that "excellent research work is the first element of the Air Force".

And in this day and age, Arnold single-handedly promoted the finalized production of the most powerful bomber, the B-29, which was able to appear a few years earlier than in history, and Arnold contributed a lot.

Hawaii was empty of troops, and the range of fighter jets on its home side was limited, and now the only one who could quickly reach the battlefield and return was the B-29 bomber, and the 58th Bomber Wing was the first unit to be equipped with a B-29.

"No, it is dangerous to use only bombers in the absence of escort fighters." Immediately someone refuted his suggestion: "Moreover, bombers are mainly used to bomb land, and it is better to use torpedo planes and dive bombers against warships." ”

Using strategic bombers to carry out ship-to-ship bombing missions? It's just a joke!

Arnold was very solemn: "The island country imported from Germany is mainly Stuka dive bombers, Germany's main fighters have not entered the island country's aircraft carrier formation, the island country's air control fighters are mainly zero, this fighter is unable to fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, its effective combat altitude will not exceed 5,000 meters, and the air defense anti-aircraft artillery of the island country's fleet cannot hit 10,000 meters, so at an altitude of 10,000 meters, we are very safe." ”

In the new agreement between Cirek and the island country, the BF109 was exported to the island country, and now the main fighter of the island country is the Zero type, due to the technical limitations and material limitations of the island country, they do not have a suitable supercharger, and the ceiling is only 5,000 meters.

"10,000 meters in the air, bombing the ship?" Someone is still retorting to him: "Are you sure you can hit?" ”

"If a normal bomb, even if we use a Norton sight, it can't be accurately bombed, so we want to use the latest bomb." "As you may not know, we have successfully developed a radio-guided bomb," Arnold said. ”

When it comes to guided bombs, it is generally considered that Germany's unrestricted guided bombs are the originators, and the Fritz-X series of guided bombs were used in large quantities in the late stage of World War II and achieved a lot of success.

However, it would be absolutely wrong to think that other countries do not have guided bombs, and the United States has gathered a large number of scientists who have fled from Europe, and their arrival has played a great role in promoting the development of science and technology in the United States.

In history, in 42 years, the U.S. Army Aviation Equipment Command began to develop the VB (Ason) series of guided bombs, using radio command guidance, and in 43 years successfully, entered the military service.

Moreover, the Americans, relying on their leading position in technology, are not interested in such backward radio guidance, they are already developing new ways of radar guidance, and there are several projects on the ground together.
