Imperial Overlord

On the other hand, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Akagi, the flagship of the aviation fleet, Chuichi Nagumo was anxiously waiting for news of the retreating wounded fleet.

About 25 minutes ago, he dispatched 10 Zero fighter jets to the scene of the accident, hoping to remedy the situation.

The Japanese **** fleet is also fighting desperately, desperate to expel the US carrier-based torpedo aircraft.

The battle between the two sides can be described as tragic. The battle has reached this point, and there is no possibility of retreat or stop loss.

Just as Nagumo Zhongichi was anxiously waiting for the result that he was looking forward to but did not dare to listen to, an officer ran over from the telegraph room.

"Sir! Sir! Good news! It's good news!" the officer shouted loudly, holding the telegraph paper in his hand.

Hearing the shout, Nagumo Zhong consciously wanted to close his eyes. He was afraid of hearing bad news, afraid of hearing about his wounded aircraft carrier, any accidental news.

But when he heard the word good news, he finally let out a sigh of relief. As long as it was good news, it would prove that the situation had not deteriorated further.

If Japan loses three aircraft carriers in one go, it will really be a powerless situation.

"The aircraft carrier Kaga was seriously injured. When the American aircraft ran out of torpedoes and retreated, the aircraft carrier Kaga was only flooded with water, and there was no danger of sinking!" The officer stood beside Nagumo Chuichi and reported loudly.

Hearing that the Kaga aircraft carrier was fine, Nagumo Chuichi breathed a sigh of relief: one aircraft carrier that was hit first was saved, so the remaining two aircraft carriers may also be fine.

As long as these aircraft carriers don't sink, other outcomes are tolerable. After all, the sinking can't be salvaged, and the injured can still be repaired and continue to use, right...

Unknowingly, Nagumo Chuichi has put his bottom line on his requirements, never getting hurt, and moved to a lower position where he won't be sunk.

"Send a telegram to General Yamamoto to announce this good news! God Amaterasu blesses the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Nagumo Chuichi was overjoyed and prepared to announce the news quickly.

It is a more appropriate choice to let Yamamoto go to the front line with more peace of mind and concentrate on commanding the frontline landing operations.

"Hi!" A subordinate stood at attention, bent over, and left the bridge of the aircraft carrier Akagi with joy on his face.

At present, it seems that the losses of the Japanese Navy are still within the acceptable range, so at least it can be counted as a victory report.

Although the losses were heavy, the enemy's losses were even greater. And the Japanese accomplished their campaign objective, capturing Midway, an outpost in Hawaii, from the United States.

As long as the island is in hand, attacking Hawaii becomes easier. With Hawaii, the U.S. fleet would have to retreat to the west coast and at least triple the distance to counterattack!

That's twice as much! Even if the United States has twice as many troops, it will be weakened by more than half of its combat power because of the road, offsetting the huge military advantage of the United States.

"General, do you want to wait... After all, the Canglong..." An officer bowed his head and said to Nagumo Chuichi.

"..." Nagumo Chuichi looked unhappy at the Colonel who persuaded him to say this, his face was already very ugly.

In his opinion, isn't it obvious that he is cursing the problems of the two aircraft carriers Soryu and Hiryu?

With a cold snort, Nagumo Chuichi finally held back his attack and closed his eyes to wait for the news about the Canglong and Hiryu aircraft carriers.

On the other side, on the sea near the Japanese wounded retreating fleet, Captain White was flying his Avenger torpedo attack aircraft, hovering in the sky.

He reluctantly looked at the Japanese fleet under his feet, but there were no torpedoes to drop bombs on.

Just now, an Avenger torpedo attack plane crashed into a Japanese destroyer, piloted by a close friend of Captain White.

It is a pity that the Japanese destroyer escaped the impact of the American plane and was lucky to escape.

"Skydive! You two." While driving his plane through the hail of bullets fired by the anti-aircraft guns, White ordered his electromechanical and bombardiers.

"Forget it! We can only be prisoners by skydiving. If we are unlucky and the Japanese don't want to take prisoners, we can only feed sharks or be soaked to death by the sea..." The bombardier leaned on the self-defense cannon in the belly of the aircraft. said lazily.

He had run out of shells and torpedoes had been thrown. Now this plane is just like a civil aviation plane, without any armament.

So, as a weapon operator, he has nothing to do now. He could only lean on his weapon and wait for his last moment.

The electromechanical operator was also helpless. He tore off his collar and smiled at the driver White: "We have worked together for more than a year, and I still don't know your temper? Choose your target, we also have a company together. "

There was a moment of silence on the radio, and White flew his plane, circled the sky again, and then looked at the oil gauge, which had bottomed out, and turned the plane's control stick.

The Avenger's torpedo engine gasped and began to spin rapidly. Passing through the dense anti-aircraft guns, it aimed its nose at a smoking Japanese aircraft carrier in the distance.

Beside the aircraft carrier, the slender Japanese destroyer cut through the water, leaving a white trail.

White stared at the body of the aircraft carrier facing the nose of the aircraft~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and made a rapid dive, like a fearless dive bomber, rushing towards his target.

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!" On the thick fuselage, a row of machine gun bullet holes of the Zero fighter was left. The sea breeze penetrated into the cab from the bullet hole, and the cold air was refreshing.

White gripped the control stick of the plane with his hand, trying to keep the plane in the same position and continue to rush down.

The wings ripped apart the airflow, making a harsh sound. In the blink of an eye, a huge firework burst from the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu, and the sound of the explosion could be heard several kilometers away.

White couldn't hear the explosion, nor could the pilots, electromechanical operators, and weapons operators of the 20 U.S. carrier-based Avenger torpedo aircraft.

Because these planes have been shot down, or they have been loaded into Japanese warships. They succeeded in aggravating the injuries of the aircraft carrier Kaga, and they also succeeded in accomplishing a major event that they did not dare to hope for.

Yes, the aircraft carrier Canglong began to sink slowly in the final explosion. Since the start of the war, the Japanese aircraft carrier was finally sunk for the first time!
