In order to prevent the fleet from being bombed by the enemy's carrier-based planes again without warning, Yamamoto sent more than 30 reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter around Midway Island, and soon discovered a huge fleet 50 nautical miles southeast of Midway Island, and it was estimated that there should be more than 200 ships of all sizes, including a number of aircraft carriers.

After receiving the information sent back by the reconnaissance plane, Yamamoto was shocked, there are more than 200 warships, and there is no navy in the Pacific Ocean that has this strength except for the China Navy, and it must be the China Navy.

Yamamoto immediately ordered the fleet to be ready for battle, and all warships immediately assembled in the southeast sea. At this time, Yamamoto still thought that the navy of the Great Japanese Empire was the best navy in the world, and although the strength of the Shina navy was a little strange, he did not think that the Japanese navy did not even have the strength to fight with the Chinese navy.

At 7:40 a.m. on May 8, 1942, the navies of China and Japan completed the final assembly in the waters of Midway, and the two sides of the battle were 127 large and small warships and 421 carrier-based aircraft of the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the commander was Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

The confronting of the Japanese Navy was the Chinese Navy's three fleets of Heilongjiang, Yellow River, and Yangtze River, with a total of 224 large and small warships and 828 carrier-based aircraft, and the commander was Chen Shaokuan, commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Nationalist Government.

And less than 300 nautical miles from the battlefield, there was a mobile formation of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which was rushing towards the battlefield at high speed. This mobile formation consisted of 35 large and small warships, and its commander was Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi.

At 8 o'clock sharp, both sides simultaneously sent carrier-based aircraft to fly towards the other side's fleet, and the Battle of Midway broke out!

Chen Feng commanded no less than a thousand times, the small ones had dozens of sneak attacks, and the big ones had millions of army duels, but it was the first time for him to fight in the Wisdom Navy.

After all, the army and navy are completely different arms of the army, and their command tactics are also different, and there is absolutely no such thing as the same goal, and Chen Shaokuan is very worried that Chen Feng's indiscriminate command will mess up the situation.

However. At the beginning of the battle, Chen Feng's ultra-high naval command cultivation completely shocked everyone. All the officers in the command room of the battleship Zhonghua knew that Chairman Chen had not only not attended a naval school, let alone an army command school. Completely a mud leg with no orthodox military education.

But it's such a mud-legged invader who not only reaches on land. He also has extremely high attainments in naval combat command. At this time, people have the most direct interpretation of the word genius.

In fact, it is no secret that the saying that Chen Feng is a genius has long been spread in the army, on the one hand, because of Chen Feng's own proud record and terrifying rise speed. On the other hand, it is because of Chen Feng's pair of precious children. Chen Feng's eldest daughter was born in 40 years and 80 years, and his son was born in November of the same year, according to the customs of northerners, these two little guys are already 3 years old, but in fact they are only two and a half weeks.

However, the Chen family's little baby is simply too smart, reading and writing at a young age, especially Chen Feng's baby daughter Chen Shengnan, not only proficient in Tang poetry and Song poetry, arithmetic and foreign languages can play, the most surprising thing is the physical fitness of the little girl, don't look at it as a female doll, more than 1.3 meters tall, and her strength is greater than that of an adult, which is really surprising.

Chen Feng's son is also a little monster, Chen Yiding, who was born 3 months later than his sister, is not as good at reading and writing as his sister, but he likes to dance knives and guns, and he plays with a good knife at a young age.

The child is still like this, and of course the father is even more powerful, so Chen Feng is a genius This kind of remark is still very marketable in the army in private.

Chen Feng didn't care what the officers thought, it didn't matter, what he was most concerned about now was what kind of record the navy could fight today, and in his opinion, it was best to be able to completely annihilate Japan's combined fleet, and if Japan lost its combined fleet, it would be tantamount to a tiger with its teeth pulled out, and China could deal with it as it wanted, whether it was braised or fried, the Japanese would not have any opinions.

However, Chen Feng also knew that it was very difficult to completely annihilate the combined fleet of the Japanese army, after all, the strength of the Japanese Navy was there, and it was a huge test for the Chinese Navy to send so many Japanese warships to the bottom of the sea.

The first two hours of the battle were all carrier-based aircraft performances, and the two sides were fighting in the air, except for using high-powered telescopes, the two sides could only vaguely see a few warships of the other side, and almost all of them were out of sight.

There is no doubt that the battle between carrier-based aircraft is much more powerful than the Chinese naval aviation, because the Chinese naval aviation has 8 aircraft carriers and is equipped with more than 800 fighters of various types, and what about the Japanese side? Although it has 13 aircraft carriers, it is scattered among the Northern Fleet and mobile formations, and only seven aircraft carriers remain in the main formation of the Combined Fleet, and only more than 600 carrier-based aircraft.

What is even worse is that last night's surprise attack by the Chinese Navy directly sank one of the Japanese Navy's main battle aircraft carriers, and also caused damage to two of its main battle aircraft carriers and one small seaplane aircraft carrier, and after this battle, the number of more than 600 carrier-based aircraft was reduced to 400.

The problem is that the quality of Japanese carrier-based aircraft is not good, and the Zero fighter is barely relatively advanced compared with the carrier-based aircraft of the US and British forces, but it is too backward compared with the jet aircraft equipped by Chen Feng.

It was inferior in quantity and even worse in quality, and the result was that less than an hour after the two sides fought, the Japanese naval aviation encountered Waterloo. After two hours of fighting, only a few dozen fighters remained in the Japanese air force.

However, the fighting will of the Japanese Navy and its carrier-based aircraft group is indeed admirable; under such a disadvantage, the Japanese naval aviation did not retreat, and the remaining dozens of fighters continued to take to the air after replenishing their ammunition.

For a time, the Chinese Navy and the naval aviation disrupted the deployment of the Japanese naval aviation, two aircraft carriers were damaged, one frigate was hit by two Japanese fighters one after another and sank, and four other warships were injured.

Chen Feng was very annoyed by this situation, and ordered each ship to send a battleship to search and rescue the officers and men who had fallen into the water, and the rest of the troops immediately surrounded the Japanese fleet and sent all the Japanese ships to the bottom of the sea.

During the more than 30-hour battle, the new-type missile ships equipped by Chen Feng's unit played a tremendous role, and many large Japanese warships were sunk and damaged.

During this period, Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi commanded the Japanese Navy Mobile Formation to come to reinforce it, and was also involved in the Battle of Midway, supporting the Battle of Midway, the Japanese army invested all naval forces except the Northern Fleet, and China dispatched all naval ships, which was completely a naval decisive battle between China and Japan.

At 5 a.m. on May 9, the battleship Yamato, the flagship of the Japanese Navy, was sunk, and then the Japanese Navy withdrew from the battle in panic.

According to post-war statistics, a total of 183 warships of the Japanese Navy participated in the battle, and 64 were sunk in Gongbei, including 5 aircraft carriers, 5 battleships and 12 cruisers, and the Japanese flagship Yamato was also included in the 5 battleships sunk. In addition, 74 warships were wounded, more than half of them needed major repairs, and only seventy or eighty warships were intact, and they were mainly small warships.

The battle also killed 5,847 people, including Yamamoto Isoroku, commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, and wounded more than 2,000. After this battle, the elite of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was greatly damaged.

After the Japanese Navy fled, more than 30 power-damaged naval ships became trophies of the Chinese Navy. Subsequently, under the command of Chen Feng, the navy successfully captured Midway, which was only defended by more than 3,000 defenders, and mixed up a damaged Japanese aircraft carrier in the port.

At the same time as the Battle of Midway, a helicopter gunship equipped with high-definition camera equipment filmed the entire battle scene, and more than a dozen other military reporters risked their lives to follow and shoot at the scene, capturing a large number of photos, which became classic illustrations for the coverage of the Battle of Midway in the following days.

After the capture of Midway, the Chinese Navy also carried out battle damage statistics, and according to statistics, the Chinese Navy lost a total of 8 warships, including 1 cruiser, 3 destroyers, 1 missile frigate, 1 minesweeper, and 21 fighters were shot down. There were 1,212 casualties, of which 439 were killed in battle.

Compared with the battle record, this loss of the Chinese Navy is completely negligible, not to mention that the Chinese Navy also captured more than 30 Japanese warships in this battle.

After the battle, hundreds of Chinese warships collectively opened fire in the waters off Midway Island to congratulate them, and thousands of officers and men let out an earth-shattering roar to vent their excitement.

And Chen Shaokuan and others were even more in tears, this is the Chinese Navy since the fall of the Manchu Qing Beiyang Naval Division pent-up anger for many years, once fluffy, how happy. (To be continued......)
