Cheers at 20:00

In the early morning of that day, Japan's first wave of attack aircraft group, 36 Type 97 ship attack aircraft, 36 Type 99 ship bombers and 36 Zero fighters began to take off from four aircraft carriers at the same time.

108 carrier-based aircraft set out to attack Midway Island under the leadership of the Navy Captain of Toyongjo City.

Lieutenant General Nanyun ordered the reconnaissance plane to search the east and south waters, and the second wave of attack aircraft was mentioned on the flight deck to prepare to face the US fleet.

At dawn, after the US military on Midway shared the satellite information of Wakanda, the "Catalinna" reconnaissance aircraft sent back the report of the discovery of the Japanese aircraft carrier. Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher, as commander-in-chief, ordered Major General Spruins to respond immediately and prepare to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier.

In the early morning, Japanese carrier-based aircraft indeed launched a fierce attack on Midway Island.

All the US fighter jets stationed on Midway Island were launched to fight against invading Japanese fighter jets. The US bombers, including the B-17 bombers, also launched a counterattack on the Japanese fleet.

At 7 o'clock, Captain Tooyaka City led the first wave of attack aircraft to prepare to return and sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Nanyun that he needed to conduct a second attack.

At 7:06, 117 fighter jets composed of fighter jets, torpedoes and dive bombers took off from the 16th special mixed formation led by Major General Spruins and the Enterprise, and rushed to the Nanyun Fleet 200 nautical miles away.

At 7:10, the first batch of 10 US torpedo bombers that took off from Midway Island appeared over the Nanyun fleet.

US military aircraft lined up in a single row and rushed towards the Japanese aircraft carrier.

Tomoenaga's report and the attack of US aircraft made Lieutenant General Nagamo believe that Midway's defense is still strong, so he decided to change the aircraft originally planned to deal with US ships to carry out a second bombing of Midway.

At this time, he still did not discover the US fleet.

But the US military is well aware of their actions.

At 7:15, Nagamo ordered Akagi and Kaga to send the aircraft that had torpedoes on the deck out of the hangar, unload the torpedoes and replace them with high-explosive bombs that attacked the ground.

This situation was discovered by the first time in Wakanda's satellites.

Rogers ordered the adjourned fleet of Wakanda to advance and prepare for battle.

At 7:30, Nanyun received a telegram from a reconnaissance plane that delayed the takeoff of the Ligan by half an hour, and found 10 US-based ships about 240 nautical miles from Midway Island.

Nagashi Yun ordered the reconnaissance aircraft to continue to find out whether the enemy fleet owns an aircraft carrier, and at the same time ordered the suspension of the replacement of the torpedo aircraft.

Just as Nanyun was waiting for the reconnaissance results of the reconnaissance plane, an alarm sounded again in the air.

More than 40 US B-17 bombers and dive bombers that took off from Midway rushed towards Nanyun's fleet. Since the US bombers did not have fighter escort, they were soon repelled by the Zero fighter jets sent by Nanyun.

At 8:15, Nanyun finally received a report from the reconnaissance plane: That's not a fucking US fleet, it's the Wakanda fleet!

There are indeed aircraft carriers in the fleet and there are 6 ships.

Nanyun???

He quickly ordered all ships to stop loading bombs, and the plane returned to the hangar to re-model the torpedo. The deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier suddenly became in chaos. In order to gain time, the unloaded bombs were piled on the deck.

At 8:30, the first wave of attack aircraft that raided Midway Island returned to the sky above the Japanese fleet.

And those fighter jets that protect aircraft carriers also need to land and refuel.

Nanyun, who had a bad pen, was immediately in a dilemma.

At this time, the commander of the Second Aircraft Carrier Corps, Admiral Yamaguchi, suggested to Nanyun that "order the attacking troops to take off immediately."

The second batch of assault aircraft have not been replaced with torpedoes. If an attack is launched immediately, there will be no fighter escort.

Moreover, the runway on the ship is occupied by the take-off plane, so the first attack wave group with empty fuel tanks will fall into the sea.

Nagashimo decided to postpone the attack, first retrieving air strikes on Midway and intercepting U.S. bombers, and then reorganizing troops to guard against Wakanda's attack.

At 8:37, the return planes began to land on the flight decks of four aircraft carriers one after another.

At 8:40, 35 fighter jets took off from the USS York City aircraft carrier, led by Major General Fletcher, 15 nautical miles away.

At 9:18, all the aircraft were completed. Nagayun suddenly ordered the fleet to sail northwest at a speed of 30 knots, not only to stay away from the fleet in Wakanda, but also to avoid the US aircraft on Midway Island that were attacking again.

At 9:20, the fighter planes covering the Japanese fleet began to take off.

At 9:25, a formation of 15 Avengers torpedo bombers taken off by Bumblebee (number VT-8, commander John C. Waldron) discovered the Nanyun fleet.

Unfortunately, their fuel is about to run out and there is no fighter escort.

They were preparing to conduct a suicide attack, but suddenly received a "base camp" signal asking them to return.

Just as Commander George H. Guy was hesitant, Wakanda's carrier-based aircraft was officially dispatched!

"Kill them." Rogers said to his brethren.

"As for orders, sir!"

At 9:30, Wakanda fighter jets officially arrived at the battlefield.

They not only defeated the Zero fighter chasing the US military, but also protected the 20 torpedo bombers that should have been lost. The torpedo plane commander Lindsey shouted excitedly: "Long live the pentagram!"

The emergence of the Pentagram fighter jet caused an unprecedented blow to the morale of the Japanese army.

Because those bastards can fire 20 miles away from them, and the things they shoot can still chase them. How can they fight this battle?

At 9:37, Lindsay's troops attacked the Flying Dragon under the cover of Wakanda. The Flying Dragon hit two torpedoes in a row, and he was immediately paralyzed.

At 10:00, the Japanese Aolong was also hit in the tail by a missile, and thick smoke became the best target for the fighter jet.

At 10:10, Major Lance Marseille's 3rd dive bomber squadron of York City attacked the Flying Dragon again, covering his six F4Fs facing 15 Zero Warfare, losing 1, and shooting down 5 Zero Warfare.

At 10:20, just as the Japanese fighter jets were busy driving US torpedo planes at a low altitude, 13 T7 bombers appeared over the Nanyun fleet.

At 10:24, three 1,000-pound bombs hit the Japanese ship.

The second bomb smashed through the flight deck of the "new" Akagi and detonated the ammunition, creating a record of sinking the aircraft carrier.

Then the Aolong and Kaga aircraft carriers were also finished.

The three Japanese aircraft carriers instantly turned into three balls of fireballs. The planes stacked on the deck, as well as fuel and ammunition, caused a big explosion, and the flames rushed to the sky. In just 5 minutes, the three Japanese aircraft carriers were completely blown up.
Chapter completed!
