Chapter 65
When the last red glow in the sky gradually disappeared in the rolling waves of the sea, the US and Japanese navy, which were fighting fiercely in the Pacific, were making final preparations for the attack toward each other.
As mentioned earlier, with Hawkeye reconnaissance/command airships, wars no longer have any blind spots. Apart from tactical raids, it is difficult to gain any additional advantages.
Of course, this advantage is except for what gold finger Tang Yunyang has given for the Nanya Military Alliance.
"Do you think the Japanese would think we would launch a night attack? Well, I think their Hawkeye airship has re-arranged radar alert network for them, so we have to fight them upright!"
Major General William Frederick Halsey's manipulation was strong in front of him, with three shorter but more complex functions sitting on the leather chair.
His words did not have any practical instructions, and the only function was to touch the corners of the three of them in an unknown way.
Yes, they knew that Major General William Frederick Halsey liked "righteous" combat, of course, except for the attacks he often did, such as bombers used as fighters.
"Can anyone tell me if the night bombing I applied for was approved by Pearl Harbor?"
This is another characteristic of him. Often he does not ask the combat officer he should ask, but asks all three people. Although this often makes the three people fuck, when there are obvious benefits, the answers given by other people often make him have a sudden idea.
"Of course, Pearl Harbor has approved your night air strike plan. And our airships have transported ammunition and personnel to Midway Island. If the beach robbers of the South Asian Military Alliance wait until tomorrow to attack, I think they will be shocked!"
This time it was the quiz of the combat adjutant. The communication adjutant who was supposed to answer responded a little slower, so he wisely kept silent.
For the purpose of the US military in Midway, it is to protect the island as much as possible. Otherwise, it should have given enough blows to the Japanese Navy's First Fleet while losing the island.
As for Major General William Frederick Halsey, the latter is more suitable for his needs.
"Okay, I think Mr. Natsumoto Takaichi has finished his meal. I don't think I have to worry about not being gentlemanly enough to do this!"
None of the three combat adjutants answered this sentence. This is a typical Halsie-style quip. Halsie, who had long been used to their reactions, shrugged and began to issue attack orders.
"The bomber troops paid a heavy price during the day, so tonight, I think we have to give them enough money to make up for the losses they suffered. Tell those army pilots to be ready to take my orders at any time!
In addition, if we want the fighter jets on our aircraft carrier to be dispatched, we will give Japan some new tricks this time!"
With the orders of Major General William Frederick Halsey, the entire Midway Island waters immediately became lively.
The b-1 Albatross heavy bombers and the b24 Liberator bombers from Pearl Harbor formed a huge bomber formation. Even the ammunition carried by the bomber group was enough to blow the entire Japanese Navy's First Fleet to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Here, we have to sigh at the American machine civilization. Their arms production capacity was not comparable to the military production of the Chinese Federation before. But now the US military's ammunition supply has reached a perfect state.
These bomber groups are far beyond the reconnaissance range of the Japanese Navy's Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airship, and cannot arouse the vigilance of the Japanese Navy. However, the fighter jets sent by the US Navy's special mixed fleet, which were attacking at this time, attracted most of their attention.
"At this altitude, it is probably the US fighter jets, and the ones flying on the sea may be those razors. You know, in the last battle in Guam, our air defense ships were attacked by those rotorcraft. It is particularly worth noting that before the fighter jets contacted, they were likely to use a large number of guided missiles and bombs to strike our warships."
Yes, "silk-type missiles" have always been a headache for the Japanese Navy. These missiles were originally designed to attack land targets. However, in the hands of the Americans, the methods they were quickly used were renovated.
Especially in Japan's development over the years, the development of electronic technology has not made any breakthroughs under the comprehensive supervision of the Chinese Federation. For this multi-purpose, multi-transmitting platform "silk-type missile" has no way to intercept radio interference except for using ammunition.
In particular, in the attack of the wealthy US Navy, the value of this relatively accurate missile does not seem to be jealous of them. As soon as an attack is launched, a saturated strike will be launched.
"Well, I know the habits of the Americans, so we need to keep enough fighter jets for patrol flights. Our pilots are already quite tired during the daytime operations, so we have to move our KJ-class air defense ships and serve as the main force in the night air defense."
When Nagashikazu Nakayama said these words, his face was dark. He understood that the day of combat had caused the fighter pilots, including himself, to feel tired. Even the pilots who had been staying in the standby room would become slack due to long-term standby.
"At the same time, our reconnaissance missiles need to expand their reconnaissance range, and it is best to go forward to the near of the US fleet. We need to know their true efforts..."
Indeed, this time William Frederick Halsey's attack method was renovated. The aggressive guy never seemed to have considered whether his air fleet was attacked at night or his surface fleet was attacked.
These tasks are often given sufficient support by the commander of the surface fleet or the commander of the air fleet.
When sending his own attack aircraft group, Rear Admiral Franke also sent air defense ships and fighter aircraft to protect the fleet. While sending combat troops, the air fleet combat officers on the command ship of the "Cangmang" have also ordered some fighter jets to carry out patrol missions. But this is not something that the combative Major General William Frederick Halsey is concerned about.
"Attack, all attacking troops must reach their positions and launch attacks in a precise manner. The aviation guides on Hawkeye should pay attention to guidance. I don't have any reason. I just need them to launch designated attacks at the designated position at the time of command..."
As the roar of the Halsey Bulls spread across everyone in the entire fleet as the roar came from the microphone, the US air attack officially unfolded.
This time, the US military's attack was full of Halsey's personal characteristics, with multiple directions, multiple sequences, and different attack methods of different aircraft types, just like a set of combined punches, making the opponent unable to defend.

Tadichi Nagamo could not believe his ears. Halsey used fixed-wing fighters and rotorcrafts when he reversed Guam. He assigned fixed-wing fighters to imitate the appearance of rotorcrafts and launch a raid from the sea.
In the dark night, torpedoes are like silent poisonous snakes. Once attacked by it, it will bring fatal danger.
On the sea, the artillery fire of the anti-aircraft ships kept firing into the air under the guidance of the air radar. However, the radar could not be distinguished, and it was entirely up to the human eye to observe the observers to make the aircraft wrongly judge the type of aircraft.
The error in judging the aircraft type also causes the gunners to make mistakes in judging the target's speed and distance.
The Thunder Eagle bombers flying over the sea cleverly avoid the flames ejected by the Ganjiang-class air defense ships. When they break through the air defense circle of the Ganjiang-class air defense ships, they will drop the torpedoes they carry to every seemingly larger warship.
Of course, there are some people who are so lucky that they will be ejected from the ejection seats and they will be shot into the air. The fighter planes they are flying will fall head-on into the sea. This is not a serious loss for the American fleet that launches the attack.
Therefore, the Japanese Zero fighters who intercepted them and those flying dys-z were still in the air at this time, looking forward to the arrival of those rotorcraft that pretended to be theirs.
Groups of "Thunder Eagle" bombers flew past the sea, and all the anti-aircraft firepower on the Japanese warships were fully opened. The dense tracer bombs were on the sea, like a net, and also like a photo taken at night, Chehe on the streets of Detroit, USA.
But before the Japanese Navy understands the situation, these little guys flying over the sea have already caused them too much trouble. Torpedoes were thrown into the sea, and warships have raised huge fireballs in the explosions of these torpedoes.
Just this air strike alone has seriously damaged many battleships, cruisers and destroyers of the Japanese Navy's First Fleet. Three of them were injured, three cruisers sank 2 seriously injured, and five destroyers sank.
The huge results were immediately passed on to the command ship "Cangmang" of the flagship of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet's air fleet.
"Sir, they have been fooled. Their fighter jets are approaching our rotor camouflage fleet!"
William Frederick Halsey, Little William and Frederick, drank the coffee in the cup, and it was indifferent to his head.
"Let the guys come back, they are no match for those fighters! Also, it's time for us to arrive at the 'paving stone'. If so, tell the bomber group that has been waiting in the air for a long time that they can enter the role."
