Imperial Overlord

"Although the entire fleet is dispatched this time, I'm still very worried..." On the battleship Nagato, his flagship, Yamamoto fifty-six said to his staff.

Due to the rush of work, although the Yamato battleship was completed, it did not complete the training and could not serve as the flagship of the fleet.

So this time, although the Yamato battleship went to sea with the fleet, its combat effectiveness was indeed not very reliable.

This time, Yamamoto Fifty-six relied on the First Air Fleet, the famous Japanese Navy aircraft carriers that Nagumo Tadashi held in his hands.

Moreover, Yamamoto's combined fleet came out this time, and even brought the landing troops directly, in order to surprise the United States directly on Midway Island.

"Your Excellency General, you don't need to worry at all. Our current strength is three times that of the enemy, and there is absolutely no possibility of losing..." The staff officer said sincerely to his general.

Fifty-six Yamamoto was just a little uneasy, because he really didn't know whether the Americans would notice his campaign attempt to attack Midway.

"This war, we were forced to fight by the Americans. This is already passive, so we must handle every confrontation carefully." Yamamoto looked at the endless sea in front of him, said Said to his subordinates.

He didn't look back, paused and continued: "There are three situations that appear in front of us."

Having said this, he stretched out three fingers: "First! The US Navy did not appear in the nearby waters; second, they came later and were forced to fight; third, they were there waiting for us."

"Of these three situations, the third is the most troublesome, so we have to focus on the third situation." Yamamoto Fifty-six shrewdly analyzed.

"Nagumo's attack group, the first batch will attack the ground targets on Midway Island and try to destroy the airport facilities there." As in history, Yamamoto's plan was to take the lead in launching operations on the immobile Midway Island.

Because the job of finding the American fleet was too complicated, Yamamoto couldn't guarantee that he would be able to find the erratic American fleet as soon as possible.

"The reconnaissance opportunity will search all the nearby waters to find possible American fleets..." Because of deep disbelief, Yamamoto Gosuke repeated his battle plan.

He started repeating this plan yesterday, April 28. This is also a very rare situation. After all, there are not many situations that can make Yamamoto Shishio nervous.

"If the U.S. Navy is not there, then the battleship fleet will be able to press on the entire line and destroy all the fortifications on Midway!"

Six battleships lined up to bombard Midway's defensive positions offshore. Even if the U.S. Navy came, it had to address the pressure on the beachhead first.

When the U.S. Navy planes pounced on the Japanese battleship forces, they would be bitten and slaughtered by the Zero fighters.

Then, the U.S. carrier-based aircraft, which ran out of fuel, began to return, and the Zero fighters could follow by relying on a large range to find the exact location of the U.S. fleet.

Once the exact location of the U.S. fleet is found, and the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, which have an absolute numerical advantage, can easily ravage and kill these remaining U.S. fleets.

"After the US fleet is completely wiped out, we can take down Midway Island logically, and then start to attack Hawaii..." After finishing his battle deployment, Yamamoto was intoxicated for a while.

Indeed, if this script is followed, the US Navy fleet will really suffer a big loss at Midway.

But in fact it is not so. In April, the United States repaired the air base on Midway Island, expanding the number of aircraft reserves there.

More than 40,000 American soldiers were sent to Midway recently, along with a full 400 P-40 fighter jets.

The U.S. Navy has assembled two aircraft carriers near Midway, as well as as many cruisers and destroyers as possible.

These warships can ensure the absolute safety of the two aircraft carriers, and at the same time can deter the Japanese fleet from letting the other side risk getting close to their own aircraft carrier forces.

Major General Fletcher devoted all the troops he could get to Midway, and near the Solomon Islands, the U.S. military actually sang an empty city plan.

On April 29, the Japanese Vice Admiral Nagumo Chuichi continued to command his old troops and attacked the original crew of Pearl Harbor, including the "Akagi", "Kaga", "Soryu", "Hiryu", and Xiang. A total of six aircraft carriers, the Tsuru and Zuikaku, arrived near Midway.

Yamamoto, on the other hand, personally commanded six battleships and battlecruisers, including Nagato, Mutsu, and four Kongo-class battlecruisers.

Because of the speed of the ship, Yamamoto Gosoku did not bring the other two battleships, namely the Ise and the Hyuga, but chose the Kongo-class battlecruiser with a faster speed.

Anyway, the Japanese navy has an absolute advantage in quantity~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so it simply took two less ships and let them stay near Malaya to perform harassment missions on the other side.

The Japanese naval fleet with absolute superiority opened the prelude to the Battle of Midway in the early morning of April 30.

Tadashi Nagumo ordered the bombers to take off, and the first batch of 110 bombers flew to Midway under the cover of 20 Zero fighters.

The American defenders, who had set up a makeshift radar station on Midway, immediately dispatched interceptor planes.

The two sides engaged in a fierce air battle, and the Japanese pilots found that they had kicked the iron plate this time.

U.S. Army Air Forces P-40 fighter jets flew frantically to intercept Japanese fighter jets because of the more efficient take-off fighter jets at the Army Airfield.

Although the Japanese fighters have a performance advantage and understand the main performance of the P-40 fighter, they are unfortunately outnumbered.

The 20 Zero fighters under cover were no match for the more than 100 P-40 fighters. The Japanese army suffered a small loss in the first wave of battle between the two sides.

"Your Excellency, General Nagumo has just called... Our army has lost 12 carrier-based aircraft, and the number of American planes is very large..." An officer came and reported the latest battle situation to Yamamoto fifty-six.

Yamamoto Fifty-six's eyelids twitched, as if he felt that today's day was a bit wicked, and it was not suitable for a decisive battle with fate.

After thinking about it, Yamamoto Fifty-Six was finally unable to ride a tiger, and gave his own order: "Let the aviation troops attack the enemy's Luhang aircraft first! The battleship fleet is ready to press!"
