Imperial Overlord

Fletcher was also plagued by problems. In the morning, his fleet suffered heavy losses and even lost the capital to continue fighting.

The aircraft carrier USS Assault was sunk by Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and his flagship, the Hornet, is now under siege by the Japanese.

Miracle finally did not happen, the Japanese army has occupied the absolute advantage of the naval battle of Midway under the superior force.

Although three aircraft carriers withdrew from the battle, the Japanese army still had a huge military advantage, and the balance of victory had begun to tilt in favor of the Japanese army.

Yamamoto Fifty-six's battleship fleet finally approached Midway in the chaotic battle situation, and everything could not be changed.

"Is there any news about the second batch of attack aircraft?" Looking at his subordinates, Fletcher felt a little ashamed of his boss.

Nimitz got him as much ship support as possible, but he still failed to turn the tide.

"Boom! Boom!" The Japanese battleships had already started pouring their artillery shells on Midway Island, because the area of ​​Midway Island was too small, so these shells actually landed on the U.S. airfield.

On the Nagato battleship, Yamamoto Fifty-six smiled, holding his own telescope, looking at Midway Island, which was already shrouded in black smoke.

"Your Excellency! The battleship Mutsu has fired a salvo, the target is silent... The enemy's airfield is finished!"

Yamamoto fifty-six waved his hand politely, put down the telescope and said, "Order the fleet to continue shelling...until Midway is completely silent."

He hated this island completely, and he wanted to make the US military on this island disappear completely to relieve his hatred.

How many years did the Empire of Japan painstakingly manage to accumulate such a large and powerful combined fleet?

As a result, this small naval battle of Midway resulted in the heavy loss of three Japanese main aircraft carriers.

As the commander of the Japanese front line, Yamamoto Fifty-six hated, hated the stubborn resistance of the U.S. military, and hated that this terrible enemy had to be brought to Japan to be buried with him when he was dying.

"If you surrender obediently, then there will be no such things..." In the bottom of his heart, Yamamoto fifty-six thought so.

However, his face was not revealed, and he still looked at Midway Island, which had been baptized by shells in the distance.

Six Japanese battleships, including the Kongo-class and Nagato-class, gathered so many battleships together that the force of destruction shook the heavens and the earth.

Midway seems to be shuddering at the sound of the cannons. The US military on the island has almost nowhere to hide. There are too few islands, and the deployment of the US military is too dense...

Countless seemingly solid fortifications, in fact, as long as the Japanese army dropped one shell, it was enough to completely destroy all the nearby trenches and bunkers.

The naval artillery with a caliber of more than 300 mm is a terrible existence that the army can never imagine.

The Japanese army has a full 24 artillery pieces of this caliber, which is no less than the total number of German train artillery pieces.

The German army assembled 4 battleships in the Gulf of Finland, which has already caused a headache for Marshal Voroshilov in the city of Leningrad, not to mention that Midway is far less huge than Leningrad.

The number of Japanese battleships is also two more than the number of Germans assembled in the Gulf of Finland, which increases the firepower to another terrifying level.

"Boom!" With the sound of metal friction, the front No. 1 main gun of the Nagato battleship bombarded a shell, and the thick gun barrel began to return to the loading position.

The machine began to run. Under the thick steel plate, the motor pushed the lever to do various movements, transporting the propellant in the ammunition chamber to the elevator, and then the elevator pushed it to the inside of the main turret.

The well-trained gunners of the Japanese army, shouting the slogan of Long Live His Majesty the Emperor, pushed a 410mm artillery shell with a special caliber into the medicine room.

These soldiers were busy, and with the fastest speed, they were ready for all kinds of preparations needed for another shooting.

"Boom!" At this time, the X turret at the rear of the battleship roared and fired another 410mm caliber shell.

On the U.S. island in the distance, a huge explosion raised black smoke as high as twenty stories, and the sound of the explosion rumbled in the air.

The U.S. airfield runway has long been damaged, and the surrounding anti-aircraft artillery positions are empty. The Japanese artillery shells can only turn these facilities into ruins.

The anti-aircraft guns shrouded in camouflage nets shook to the sound of shells. The planes at the airport were thrown into the air by shells, and then fell heavily into scrap metal.

There are still about 150 aircraft of various types on the island, and these aircraft are now unable to take off.

What makes the U.S. military even more uncomfortable is that the infantry that has finally been assembled seems to have no use at this time.

On the small island, without naval support and air force cover, the infantry was nothing but targets and cannon fodder.

If Li Le were to judge, the American troops on Midway would end up just like the Japanese troops on Iwo Jima.

The battle had gotten to the point where the Japanese had won the Battle of Midway, and the question that remained was how much they could win.

"The second U.S. aircraft carrier hasn't been sunk yet?" Seeing that the U.S. positions on the island were completely silent, Yamamoto turned his attention to the U.S. fleet behind him.

As long as he can destroy the American fleet calmly, he will have the capital to attack Hawaii.

In this exchange ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the fact that the three aircraft carriers were damaged would not be unbearable.

After all, they are only wounded, and these warships can return to the battlefield after repairs. Yamamoto fifty-six looked at his subordinates and urged: "Let Nagumo continue to attack, and give me priority to sink the US aircraft carrier!"

"Hi!" The subordinate stood at attention and bowed his head, leaving the bridge with the order. Yamamoto fifty-six held up the telescope in his hand again, and looked at Midway Island in the distance.

"Should we stop the shelling... After all, in a few hours, that will be our territory..." He whispered in his mouth, and no one could hear what he was saying.

"Let the fleet continue shelling!" After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and instructed another messenger officer: "Send a telegram to the landing fleet and let them advance to the designated position!"

"Hi!" Hearing his order, the officer who gave the order pressed the command knife and bowed his head in agreement.

Seeing the other party bowing his head to lead the order, Yamamoto Fifty-Six continued: "After they are in place, send a confirmation telegram! The whole army will start the landing operation... Before dawn tomorrow, I will take Midway Island!"
