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

Rear admiral Fletcher stood on the bridge. The deck of the Saratoga under his feet looked brand-new. Just during the sea voyage, the sailors painted a thin layer of moisture-proof paint on the deck. Now, there was a smell of paint on the whole aircraft carrier. Fletcher's hand held the railing and looked at his huge fleet.

We must completely defeat the island people's fleet. This naval battle will be related to the survival of the US Pacific fleet!

Fletcher looked at the sea in the distance. The first step in fighting on the sea was to find the enemy. It was not easy to find the enemy on the vast sea.

The agents ambushed in the island country have seen that all the island country's navies have been dispatched. According to the itinerary, they will reach the sea area about 500 kilometers southwest of ATU island in the last two days. For the island people's shipborne aircraft, 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 for landing operations, and even some large warships will come close to the island.

Fletcher turned and asked, "how's it going? Did our reconnaissance plane find anything? "

"No, the reconnaissance plane is still searching nearby and has not found the island people's fleet."

Where have the islanders gone? Fletcher's heart was a little uneasy. For the fleet, it was very dangerous not to find the enemy as soon as possible. Who knows what sea area the enemy would be lying in ambush, waiting to encircle and annihilate his own side?

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

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

In Fletcher's hunch, he felt that the encounter with the formation of islanders was almost instantaneous.

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

"The Americans are wandering around the Aleutian Islands. They never thought that the target of our attack is Midway Island." Standing on the bridge of the Daiwa, the pheasant 56 looked at his huge formation, and his pride came naturally. At this time, he was even more excited to hear the compliment of the adjutant.

The four main aircraft carriers form a mobile formation, which is in the charge of Nan yunzhongyi. Their task is not to cover the landing forces, but to fight a decisive battle with the possible us main fleet at any time.

The landing is mainly carried out by two escort aircraft carriers and landing ships. The islanders are satisfied with the landing ships produced by Germany. They drive all the way, which is very stable. If they land on the beach, it will be disadvantageous. Even in their imagination, the Americans will not react until their infantry rush onto the beach.

Thanks to the reminder of head of state Chirac, he actually knew that the Americans had deciphered their own wireless telegrams. In order to continue to confuse the Americans, the fleet used the original password for communication. At the same time, after departure, the whole fleet was in a state of radio silence and continued to deceive the Americans.

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

It is a pity that the island countries are short of resources, industrial production capacity and population. Otherwise, there will be no problem for the island countries to occupy the whole of East Asia.

Compared with the United States, the island countries seem to have no hope of victory. This is also the reason why pheasant 56 refused to launch a war against the United States at the beginning, but up to now, it seems that the situation is developing in a direction conducive to the island countries. Thanks to Germany!

However, why do island countries refuse to form an alliance with their own side?

Thinking of this, he did not continue to think. His subordinates had heard the news: "there are still 100 nautical miles from Midway Island."

"The aircraft carrier fleet has temporarily stopped moving. Landing ships and escort warships are moving forward at full speed, ready to rush for the beach and land after dark!" Cried the pheasant.

This action has been discussed repeatedly in the Ministry of the Navy. If it lands during the day, it can get the full support of aircraft carrier based aircraft. Carrier based aircraft can bomb the military base on Midway Island. However, Americans will also react and increase the difficulty of landing.

Therefore, they finally decided to postpone the landing and let the landing ship land after midnight. In this way, they may even complete all the landing tasks and seize the whole Midway Island overnight without disturbing the Americans.

Midway Island is just a coral sea reef, with a total area of only 5 square kilometers and a circumference of 24 kilometers. For such a small area, it would be enough for our side to have ten landing ships, each carrying 500 Marines and some internal fire boats. These ten are enough.

The latter ships, which carry their equipment supplies, are well prepared to deal with less than 2000 U.S. troops on the island. It's just a little fun.

There is no need to make too much noise at all. The task focus of our fleet is not to land on Midway Island, but how to deal with the American counterattack after landing, firmly hold Midway Island, take Midway Island as the center and launch an attack on the Hawaiian Islands, which is the most important.

The whole fleet slowly stopped, and at the rear of the formation, ships started out to form a new formation and slowly continued to sail to the East.

They are the landing ship formation escorted by the fourth cruiser team.

The commander, lieutenant general nobutake Kondo, stood on the heavy cruiser niaohai and watched his side gradually leave the aircraft carrier formation. At the distant sea level, the target island was about to appear.

No reconnaissance aircraft can be dispatched. There is a new radar station built by the Americans on the island. The shipborne opportunity is exposed on the radar screen to send an alarm to the Americans. They must approach quietly and directly!

As time goes by, the sun shines 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 afterglow, and the whole sea will become dark.

Just then, the lookout post at the top of the mast suddenly found something and shouted, "there is a fishing boat fifteen nautical miles away at six o'clock!"

This is a secret military operation. The most feared thing is to leak the secret. Now, when it is about to land on Midway Island, there is an accident.

The fishing boat is running back at full power. It seems that it wants to go back and report to the US Navy!
