In the Pacific, the wind and waves are not very big. The fleet splits the waves, rides the wind and waves, and sails forward.

Rear Admiral Fletcher stood on the bridge, and the deck of the Saratoga at his feet looked brand new. Just as he was sailing at sea, the sailors painted a thin layer of moisture-proof paint on the deck. Now, the entire aircraft carrier smelled of paint. Fletcher held the railing with his hand and looked at his huge fleet.

The fleet of the islanders will definitely be completely defeated. This naval battle will affect the life and death of the US Pacific Fleet!

Fletcher looked at the sea in the distance and fought at sea. The first step was to find the enemy. In the vast sea, it was not easy to find the enemy.

The agents lying on the island country have already seen that the island country's navies have been dispatched. According to the itinerary, they will reach the waters about 500 kilometers southwest of Atu Island in the past two days. For the carrier-based aircraft of the island country, more than 500 kilometers is a normal combat distance.

At the same time, if the islanders want to land on Atu Island, they must get closer, even one or two hundred nautical miles to cover their ships to land and fight, and even some large warships will come close to the island.

Fletcher turned his head and asked, "How is it? Did our reconnaissance plane discover it?"

"No, the reconnaissance planes are still searching nearby, and no fleet of islanders has been found."

Where did the islanders go? Fletcher was a little nervous. It was quite dangerous for the fleet to not find the enemy early. Who knows what sea area the enemy would be ambushing in, waiting to encircle and annihilate his own side?

The islanders have more aircraft carriers than their own. If they are attacked, they may suffer a great loss.

Thinking of this, Fletcher said: "Send more aircraft carrier formation air defense fighter jets, expand the air defense range to 100 nautical miles, and closely monitor our nearby airspace."

In Fletcher's premonition, he felt that encountering the formation of the islanders was almost instantaneous.

He didn't know that his own wait would be long.

"The Americans were wandering around the Aleutian Islands. They never thought that our target of attack was Midway." Standing on the bridge of the Yamato, Shan Ji Fifty-six looked at his huge formation, and felt a sense of pride in his heart. At this time, he was even more excited when he heard the compliment from the adjutant beside him.

The four main aircraft carriers formed a mobile formation, led by Tadaichi Nakamoto. Their mission was not to cover the landing troops, but to fight the possible arrival of the US main fleet at any time.

The landing was mainly carried out by two escort aircraft carriers and landing ships. The islanders were satisfied with the landing ships produced by Germany. They drove all the way and were very stable. When they landed on the beach, they would not be in trouble. Even in their vision, the Americans would not react until their infantry rushed to the beach.

All of this was thanks to the reminder of Head Cialick. He actually knew that the Americans had deciphered their own radio telegram. In order to continue to confuse the Americans, the fleet used the original password to communicate. At the same time, after departure, the entire fleet was in a state of radio silence and continued to deceive the Americans.

"Yes, as long as we seize Midway, we can tightly hold the east gate of the Pacific Ocean and block the Americans from the coastline, it's a pity."

The second half of the sentence "Shan Ji Fifty-Six" was not said. Unfortunately, the island countries lack resources, insufficient industrial production capacity, and insufficient population. Otherwise, there would be no problem for the island countries to occupy the entire East Asia.

Compared with the United States, the island country seems to have no hope of victory. This is also the reason why Shan Ji Fifty-six refused to launch a war against the United States. However, until now, it seems that the situation is developing in a direction that is beneficial to the island country. All of this is thanks to Germany!

But why did the island country refuse to form an alliance with its own side?

Thinking of this, he didn't continue thinking about it. His subordinates had already heard from him: "There is still a hundred nautical miles away from Midway Island."

"The aircraft carrier fleet temporarily stops advancing, landing ships and escort warships, advance at full speed, and prepare to land after dark!" Shan Ji Fifty-six shouted.

This operation was repeatedly discussed in the Admiralty. If it lands during the day, it can get the full support of the aircraft carrier-based aircraft. The carrier-based aircraft can bomb the military base on Midway Island. However, the Americans will also react and increase the difficulty of landing.

Therefore, they finally decided to postpone the landing ships landed again after nightfall. In this way, they might even complete all the landing tasks without disturbing the Americans and seize the entire Midway Island overnight.

Midway Island is just a coral sea reef with a total area of ​​only 5 square kilometers and a circumference of 24 kilometers. In such a small place, it was enough that ten landing ships on their side were enough. Each carried 500 Marines and some internal fire boats. These ten were enough.

The ships behind were transporting their equipment and supplies, which were sufficiently prepared. It was simply a slight idea to deal with less than 2,000 US troops on the island.

There is no need to make too much noise. The focus of the mission of our fleet is not to land on Midway Island, but how to deal with the counterattack of the Americans after landing, firmly defend Midway Island, and launch an attack on the Hawaiian Islands with Midway Island as the center. This is the most important thing.

The entire fleet slowly stopped, and behind the formation, ships started to move out, forming a new formation, and slowly continued to sail to the east.

They are the landing ship formation escorted by the Fourth Cruiser Team.

Commander Lieutenant General Kondo Nobutake stood on the heavy cruiser of Toohai, watching his side gradually leaving the aircraft carrier formation, and at the distant sea level, the target island was about to appear.

Reconnaissance planes cannot be dispatched. There is a newly built radar station by Americans on the island. The carrier-based opportunity is exposed to the radar screen, which will alarm the Americans and must be approached quietly!

Time passes slowly, and the sunlight sprinkles obliquely from the west and falls on the sea, pulling the shadow of each warship for a long time. Soon, the sun will take away the last trace of afterglow and the entire sea will turn into darkness.

At this moment, the lookout whistle at the top of the mast suddenly discovered something and shouted loudly: "At six o'clock, fifteen nautical miles away, there is a fishing boat!"

This is a secret military operation, and the most feared thing is the leak. Now, just as we are about to land on Midway Island, an unexpected situation has occurred.
Chapter completed!
