    The Japanese aircraft sent the news back to Hiryu as soon as they encountered the U.S. attack formation. Yamaguchi Tamon, who knew that the Japanese fleet was by no means an opponent of the U.S. military, immediately ordered the fleet to retreat, and sent another telegram to Yamamoto Fifty-Six  , requesting support from the main fleet.

    But this telegram still went nowhere like the previous call for help. Yamamoto Fifty-Six did not take any action other than recalling the Northward Squadron led by the Hosho aircraft carrier, and he did not even send the last telegram to Yamaguchi Tano  to reply.

    ?  The Imperial Japanese Navy admiral seemed determined to sit back and watch the entire aviation mobile fleet be wiped out. In fact, he wanted to use those Japanese warships as a bait to attract the main force of the US Pacific Fleet, and then lead the main force fleet to suppress it completely.  After all, even if the Japanese army lost its aviation mobile fleet, it still has an aircraft carrier, two water carriers, and the main fleet of super-large battleships such as Yamato, Nagato, and Mutsu.  overwhelming advantage.

    And as long as the last U.S. naval power in the Pacific can be wiped out, the Japanese navy will dominate the entire Pacific Ocean, not only can it take Australia into its pocket, but it can also launch an attack on the long west coast of the United States, and then lead the war to the mainland of the United States.

    It's just that Yamamoto Fifty-Six couldn't say clearly the order to send his subordinates to die. He hoped that the clever Yamaguchi Tamon could figure out his intentions from his actions, and then take the initiative to act as a bait.

    Yamaguchi Tamon had guessed his thoughts after waiting for a long time for Yamamoto Fifty-Six's call back.  At this time, Yamaguchi Tawen's samurai spirit broke out in his bones. He neither sent another power to ask for help, nor scolded Yamamoto Fifty-Six for not being able to save him. Instead, he immediately ordered the fleet to stop retreating and sail towards the sea area where the US fleet was located¡ª¡ª  Like Yamamoto Fifty-Six hoped, attract the main force of the US fleet to appear.

    Sure enough, when he heard that the aviation mobile fleet began to sail in the opposite direction, Yamamoto Fifty-Six immediately ordered the main fleet to set sail and move closer to Yamaguchi Tamon.

    Yamamoto Fifty-Six, who has always been good at gambling and was even blacklisted by major European casinos, started another gamble, but this time he did not continue his good luck in the Battle of Pearl Harbor.  The Nimitz of the picture, he is destined to lose all his money, and there will be no pants left after losing.

    When the U.S. bomber fleet arrived at the target sea area, they did not see the Japanese warship, but after searching, they found the aviation mobile fleet that had just returned 20 nautical miles northwest.  The Flying Dragon, which Nimitz ordered to kill, was also on the list.

    Now that I found it, what else can I say, just do it!

    At 2:15 in the afternoon, the Japanese aviation mobile fleet was discovered by US search planes.

    An attack formation consisting of 52 sbd dreadnought dive bombers and 22 tbd devastator torpedo bombers arrived immediately, and the only remaining 10 Zero fighters on the Hiryu quickly took off to intercept, and the fleet moving at high speed immediately slowed down.  The distance between the warships is reduced, and the defense circle is made with the Hiryu as the core component.

    Hundreds of 127 mm caliber rapid-fire guns, 25 mm caliber triple anti-aircraft guns and 13.2 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns fired barrages, forming a tight anti-aircraft fire network over the fleet.

    The ten Zeros were all elite pilots of the Japanese Air Force. As soon as the two fleets met, they killed four Dreadnoughts and one Devastator by virtue of the excellent performance of the fighters.

    The pilots of the U.S. bombers seemed not to want to entangle with the Zero, and they all raised the nose and climbed up.  The Zero fighters chased after them, and in a short while caused the loss of 4 more aircraft to the US military.  However, there are too many U.S. bombers. Even if the Zero Type is strong, it will not be able to shoot down all of these more than 70 U.S. planes in a short period of time.

    At this moment, the reinforcements of the U.S. military felt it¡ª22 F4F Wildcat fighter jets that solved the Japanese attack flight formation appeared in the sky.

    After these fighter jets arrived, they immediately divided into two teams. The formation composed of 10 Wildcats quickly pulled up and hid in the clouds, and rushed up and down with the remaining 12 Wildcats to help the bomber group of their own side.

    The Zero Type, which was slaughtering U.S. bombers, was caught off guard, and was knocked out by the wild cats who rushed over.  The arrival of the U.S. fighter jets made it impossible for the Zero to attack the bomber fleet, so the Japanese pilots simply turned the nose of the plane and fought with the wild cats.

    Although there are only eight Type Zeros, and their excellent performance, they are not at a disadvantage in the face of the US fighter group with superior numbers.

    Although the Wildcat was the main fighter type of the U.S. Naval Air Force at that time, it was at the forefront of the world in terms of performance and firepower, but compared with the Zero, it was still not enough.Immediately launch an attack on Midway Island. As long as you can successfully occupy Midway Island, you will be considered to have completed the established combat objectives. If you want to come to the military headquarters and His Majesty the Emperor, you will not blame too much'

    Yamamoto Fifty-Six stretched out his hand to stop Kuroshima's words, and said with a sinking face: "Our army is doomed to lose in this battle, rashly attacking will only increase our losses, alas" With a long sigh, Yamamoto Fifty-Six continued:'  Cancel the capture of Midway Island and order the fleet to return immediately!  "

    Hei Dao cried out: "Your Excellency"

    Yamamoto Fifty-Six did not give him a chance to speak, and said with a firm expression: "Execute the order! I will bear all the responsibilities by myself. I will go back and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor." After speaking, he turned and walked to his room, shutting himself in the  inside.

    Seeing the leaving back of Yamamoto and the rising sun flag fluttering fiercely on the bow, Kuroshima sat down on his seat and wept.

    Yamamoto's order was quickly conveyed, and the Japanese fleet began to return.

    However, since the war has already begun, the outcome is not up to Yamamoto Fifty-Six unilaterally. Whether the Japanese fleet can retreat fully depends on what the US military thinks. I don¡¯t know what others think. Anyway, Nimitz  They will not let them leave so easily.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
