At the same time, on the first day of the Battle of Midway, the battle losses and casualties of the Far East Navy and the U.S. Navy were also counted.
One U.S. Navy light aircraft carrier, the USS Los Angeles, and one destroyer, the USS Manhattan, were severely damaged and evacuated from the battlefield. About 147 aircraft were shot down, with 307 casualties. Four Far East Navy aircraft carriers ("Beijing", "Shanghai", "Chongqing" and "Tianjin")
"), a heavy cruiser Jiangmen was damaged and sent to the Hawaii military port for repairs. 32 combat aircraft were shot down, 65 people were killed and 103 were injured.
From then on, the world's last Pacific War began. In the following more than three months, the entire western region from Wake Island and the Marshall Islands in the east to the Malay Peninsula, Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the west, and the Bismarck Islands area in the south.
In the Pacific, naval battles occur frequently.
In the past three months, every victory achieved by the naval fleets of both sides would inevitably arouse fanatical people. Citizens from all sides lined up in long lines, waving paper flags of their side, and flocked to large squares everywhere.
, a victory congratulatory meeting was held in front of the hotel. However, behind all the excitement, there was one person who always seemed to be worried. This person was Li Ningyu.
Regarding the importance of the Battle of Midway, Li Ningyu was well aware of the pros and cons, especially the process of the entire battle. He attached great importance to it. Different from the past, it can be said that both sides used all their strength in this Battle of Midway.
So general small tactics are useless at all.
After the war began, the two sides launched many frontal battles, but both sides suffered losses. However, after the US military launched a successful sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Li Ningyu responded calmly and soberly, that is, the plan to bomb the mainland of the United States.
In the plan, Li Ningyu clearly pointed out that this time we are awakening a giant, but we must complete the unfinished business before the giant rises. Only by completely destroying the strength of the United States in the Pacific can the Far East Group be defeated once and for all, and the world will stop forever.
war.
At the same time, the Far East Army formulated a plan to attack Midway Island, because most Far East commanders believed that if the island could be occupied, it could be used as a forward base for the Far East Army's air patrols, as a barrier to Hawaii, and as a barrier to Hawaii.
Lure out the U.S. Navy fleet and annihilate it in the decisive battle.
However, after the United States bombed Pearl Harbor, Li Ningyu decided to appoint Zheng Long as the commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Far East Navy. He told Zheng Long: "This time you go to Pearl Harbor to clean up the mess, and then you will
Stay there until the war is won!".
After Zheng Long, who was appointed at the critical moment, took office, he quickly organized a large fleet consisting of four aircraft carriers and their escort ships. Then this large fleet began to send troops to attack the US military on the Central Pacific Islands, and then carried out a shocking operation.
The plan is to bomb the United States.
On July 7, 1911, 11 H-911 bombers taking off from the light aircraft carrier "Guangzhou" flew over Washington, USA. After dropping bombs and incendiary bombs, they immediately flew straight to Mexico with the wind. This air raid shocked the United States.
The American authorities also stimulated the American people, making them more determined to fight against the Far Eastern Army, but at the same time it also deepened the Far Eastern Army's determination to attack Midway Island.
On July 28, U.S. Representative Smith secretly held a meeting of senior naval generals with Japanese Navy Commander Yamamoto Isoroku on the Japanese naval fleet flagship Yamato. This time, the United States and Japan joined forces again. They determined a specific operational plan to attack Hawaii.
In the plan, the US military will first send a fleet to attack the Aleutian Islands, and land on Attu Island and Kiska Island in the archipelago. This will be used as bait to draw the attention of the Far East Navy Fleet to the north of the Pacific Ocean, and then use
The main fleet of the U.S. Navy took the opportunity to seize the Hawaiian Islands.
However, the U.S.-Japanese combined navies all knew that Hawaii, as the main Pacific base of the Far East Navy, would always have certain combat capabilities. Therefore, after the initial plan was made, in order to cooperate with the U.S. military, the Japanese Navy began a second breakout.
But when Yamamoto Isoroku was planning this operation, the Far East Navy had already begun to implement the plan to capture Midway Island. This was Li Ningyu's first step. In order to prevent the Far East Army from capturing Midway Island and strengthen the determination of the Japanese and American coalition forces,
The U.S. military desperately began to resist, but only one airport was established on Midway Island, so this airport was the main target of the Far East Army.
After the Battle of Midway began, Li Ningyu analyzed the strategy and tactics from all angles. First, he mobilized the Alaska Navy far away from the Pacific region and launched a diversionary attack on the Aleutian Islands controlled by the United States, hoping to disperse the entire U.S. Navy fleet.
attention to Midway, but the U.S. Navy finally managed to intercept communications between senior commanders of the Far Eastern Corps and discovered this plan to lure the enemy. Therefore, Nimitz decided not to take any action against the Aleutian Islands, but instead
The U.S. Navy sent three aircraft carriers and eight heavy cruisers to Midway for reinforcements.
At the same time, the Thirteenth Fleet of the Japanese Navy, led by Rear Admiral Susumu Kimura of the Japanese Navy, began its second breakout operation under the leadership of the light cruiser Nagara. The little Japanese used Nokaze, Arashikaze, and Hagi.
The four destroyers Kaze and Maikaze were used as decoys to allow the Far East Navy garrison fleet to attack. Destroyer Squadron 10, Kaze, Yugumo, Cirrus and Destroyer Squadron 17, Urakaze and Isokaze,
The destroyers Tanikaze and Hamakaze broke through with all their strength, and the other two supply units also broke through in the other direction at the same time.
Just as the five oil tankers of the Kyokuto Maru, Kamikuni Maru, Toho Maru, Nippon Maru, and Kunyo Maru were preparing to escape from Tokyo Harbor, another formation consisted of the destroyer Akiun, Atago, and heavy cruiser Chokai.
The Myoko, the heavy cruiser Haguro, the Kongo, and the battleship Hiei also broke out from the harbor at the same time. In the entire breakout operation, the last thing was the focus, because this fleet was sent to fight at Midway Island.
The little devils had exhausted all their mechanisms and sent three waves of formations to die. However, they did not expect that the Far East Navy garrison fleet had a better move than them and killed their supply formation first. Now the little devils were dumbfounded because there was no logistical supply.
, these battleships rushing out of the harbor cannot be allowed to be rowed by sailors to Midway Island.
So the next day, Rear Admiral Nishimura Shoji of the Fourth Destroyer Squadron of the Japanese Army led the light cruiser Yura and the four destroyers Murasame, Maysame, Harusame, and Yudachi to die, and sent Asaun in the same old way.
The three destroyers No. 1, No. Fengyun, and No. Xia Yun broke out from another direction, but the Far East Navy knew that they mainly wanted to break out some logistics supply warships.
