The United States wants to annihilate the fleet of the island nation in one fell swoop, and the island country also wants to annihilate the fleet of the Americans.

Midway already has an airfield, if they are smart enough, after taking Midway, they will immediately mobilize a large number of fighters and bombers from the mainland, and they can not only use Midway Island as the core to fight the Americans' aircraft carrier formation, but also move eastward at any time.

It's a pity that they wasted their time.

Ciric is not optimistic about the islanders, they have wasted a lot of opportunities.

"How did Nagumo do it?" At this time, in the waters near Midway, Pheasant Fifty-Six was also extremely angry: "I actually lost two aircraft carriers!" ”

The loss of two of the four aircraft carriers is quite a huge price, you know, this is only the result of an air raid by the Americans, and this result is certainly not satisfactory to him.

"But the Americans also only have two aircraft carriers at their disposal, and we are evenly matched." On his side, the assistant said: "Now, General Nagumo is still sailing north, trying to find the main battle of the Americans. ”

Nagumo originally wanted to retreat, but the pheasant did not agree, so Nagumo could only continue to the north, preparing for the moment of head-on contact with the Americans.

In their eyes, they thought that the Americans would be able to put together two aircraft carriers at most, and they did not know that the Saragato was also taken off the slipway by the Americans and hurriedly joined the battle.

"Tell Nagumo that the main force of the American fleet must be eliminated, so that we can continue to attack to the east with confidence." Pheasant said: "What about our army aviation? When exactly will they arrive? ”

What Ciric could think of, in fact, the pheasant could think of, but he couldn't help it.

Because the island countries are different from Germany, the island countries have limited resources, so the competition between the army and the navy for resources is very fierce, which has led to a great discord between the two services.

In order to compete for resources, the army wants to develop southward, fight Australia, Southeast Asia, and occupy resource areas, while the navy wants to defeat the United States and fight the Pacific War.

The Navy helped fight Australia, and the Army helped to increase troops at Midway, but for some reason, Army Air Force could not arrive immediately.

The Navy has done its best, but the Army is holding back.

Even the pheasants can't do anything about these, even if he goes to the emperor to complain, I'm afraid the emperor will play fifty boards each.

The pheasant waited until dawn in his worries.

On the sea, today's wind and waves are a little strong, huge aircraft carriers are swaying in the seawater, and the sailors of the island countries are standing on the deck, watching their reconnaissance planes take off.

It is likely that there will be an encounter today, they will first need to detect the enemy, and the first wave to take off, it will be reconnaissance aircraft.

At the same time, the Stuka dive bomber was brought to the deck, waiting to take off at any time to attack the American fleet. The deck was full of Stuka bombers, and there were less than ten Zero fighters for air defense duties.

They don't know that they have made a serious mistake.

If there are four aircraft carriers, then you can calmly deal with them, for example, two aircraft carriers are used for air defense, and the Zero fighter can take off at any time, and two are used to attack, and Stuka can take off at any time.

But there were only two ships left, and Nagumo Tadaichi, who was eager to attack, ordered all the Stuka bombers to be lifted to the deck, and released at any time to launch the first round of attacks.

Time is passing little by little.

On the E-13A reconnaissance plane, First Class Pilot Yoji Cao Ganli piloted his reconnaissance plane and shuttled between the clouds.

This kind of reconnaissance aircraft was successfully developed in 38 years, and like other aircraft, it has a considerable range, and it can fly on the sea surface for five hours at a time of takeoff, and has a range of two thousand meters, that is, after taking off, it can fly on the sea surface for a day.

It is very difficult to find the fleet of Americans in the vast sea.

It was a three-seater reconnaissance aircraft with a pilot in the front, a machine gunner in the back, and a lookout and radio operator in the middle, and as a reconnaissance aircraft, it had to have a telegraph over a long distance, sent back to the fleet via a cipher, not through an unencrypted radio station.

"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, the machine gun in the tail pointed at the sky and shouted loudly.

At this time, in the sky, a huge group of planes was flying over their heads, and when Yoji Ganli saw it, he immediately felt his eyelids jump.

"American aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft formations! This shows that the aircraft carriers of the Americans are in their rear! Let's fly over and see! ”

They don't have to worry about being spotted, they can effectively search the sea surface, they can fly higher and stand taller and look farther, however, this will make them unable to identify targets on the sea, so they fly at a low altitude.

Flying at an altitude of several hundred meters, they will not be detected by the radars of this era with low accuracy, and at the same time, they will not be detected by the group of American aircraft carrier attack aircraft at an altitude of several thousand meters in the sky.

Yoji Ganli pushed the lever and flew in the direction from which the other party came, and at the same time, the crew in the middle had already begun to shoot the telegram back.

"One of our reconnaissance planes spotted a large number of American carrier-based planes coming towards us." On the aircraft carrier Kaga, Nagumo Zhong's face suddenly changed as soon as he heard the news he had just received.

"Quick, take off Zero, release all of our Zeros!"

They were originally going to attack first, so almost all the decks were Stuka, and now, after hearing the news that the American carrier-based aircraft was arriving, Nagumo Tadashi ordered the fighter to be released first in an instant.

Self-protection is the only way to win, and if you ignore these attacking planes, then your own side is very dangerous!

"And what about our Stuka bombers?"

For aircraft carriers, the bigger the tonnage, the better, in later generations, the Americans fooled that heavy aircraft carriers are expensive, operation and maintenance costs are high, and small and medium-sized aircraft carriers are the king, so that the British built the Invincible class, and at the same time, the Americans' own aircraft carriers are larger than the other.

The biggest feature of a large aircraft carrier is that the deck is wide, so that there is enough space to take off and land fighters, and there is also enough parking area.

And now, the aircraft carriers of the island nation will not work.

The aft deck was full of Stukas, making their deck work difficult, and in general, it was best to empty the deck before the release could be carried out.

But it was too late.

And they're still waiting to take off! After discovering the American carrier-based aircraft formation, they will definitely be able to discover the American aircraft carriers very quickly, and they will have to take off to meet them!
