In this era, radio is still a rare thing. It can't even be installed in the army, let alone civilian. There is a radio for civilian use, which is the enjoyment of the middle class.

Fishermen who go to sea to fish are the poorest, but they still have patriotism.

"Come on, come on, go back. Be sure to report the news to the headquarters." The fishing boat was operated by father and son. His father looked old. He had white hair on his head, and his back began to hunch. The sun tanned his skin to bronze, but his eyes were still bright.

The son is very young. It seems that he is less than 15 years old. At such a young age, he has been floating with his father on the sea. At this time, the son drives the diesel engine at the tail to the maximum. In the rumbling sound, the fishing boat is heading towards Midway Island.

Fishing boats are civilian. Such ships can do a lot of things. In later generations, fishing boats followed behind a country's warships to catch sonar buoys, and the other party could catch as much as they threw, which annoyed a country but had no tricks.

Now, fishing boats are the eyes of the Navy. They are much easier to use than reconnaissance aircraft, because they spread over a wide area. Even coincidence will create countless coincidences.

Unfortunately, they have been seen by the islanders.

When the fishing boat was discovered, lieutenant general nobutake Kondo immediately realized that it was bad. He immediately said, "eject the seaplane!"

In this era, as long as heavy warships are loaded with seaplanes with buoys, they can play a lot of roles, such as reconnaissance, artillery calibration, and now dealing with fishing boats.

Soon, a small e14y zero water reconnaissance aircraft of an overhead technology plant was ejected from one side of the cruiser and flew quickly towards the target.

Although it is also called type zero, it has no origin with the famous type Zero fighter. If you are familiar with the naming of island weapons, it should be clear that it is named according to someone else's year.

This is a three seat reconnaissance aircraft. The fuselage and wing are made of aluminum alloy, and the wing end is made of wood. The wing can be folded to save storage space of the ship. At this time, after the ejection and take-off, the cover of the cabin is opened, and they fly quickly towards the fishing boat in the distance.

The man in the middle picked up a tweeter in his hand and shouted in unskilled tongue twister English: "listen, the fishing boat in front, please stop immediately, wait on the water, please stop immediately!"

They dare not make too much noise. Now it is too close to Midway Island. If you shoot it, it will be found by Midway Island. They can only solve it in this peaceful way.

If the fishing boat below is obedient.

"Dad, are we going to stop?" Asked the son.

"No, we move on without paying attention to them." Said the father.

Keep driving!

The reconnaissance plane circled the fishing boat twice and kept shouting. There was no sign that the fishing boat would stop. Finally, the machine gunner in the back seat couldn't help it.

He pushed the machine gun behind him and fired a three-point shot at the sea: "dada."

The bullet hit the water and splashed a column of water more than one meter high. With the sound of chirping, this is the last warning.

"Keep driving!" At this time, my father still didn't give up.

The fishing boat is still moving.

"Da Da..." this time, the bullets of the machine gunner strafed from the front to the back along the ship's side, hitting the ship with sawdust. We can't wait any longer. We must kill them!

In the open sea, the sound of machine guns can reach three kilometers away. If they are allowed to continue to move in the direction of Midway Island, maybe Midway Island can hear their guns!

The father fell down, and a big hole appeared in his chest. Just when the other party's bullet came, he suddenly pushed his son into the water, and he himself was shot by the roaring machine gun bullet.

At this distance, his son can swim back, and he himself should move on!

His hand firmly controlled the rudder, and the fishing boat continued to move tenaciously towards Midway Island. His other hand blocked the hole in his chest, his blood continued to flow out, and his vision continued to blur.

Finally, his eyes were dark, he lost all consciousness, and the fishing boat was still heading for midway!

"Dada dada." The gunner in the back opened fire again. This time, he blew up the engine behind him. On the sea, the ship suddenly burst into a brilliant flame.

"Matsuda, you fool, you screwed up!" The pilot in front could not help swearing.

The fishing boat caught fire on the sea. Now it's going to be dark. The light of the fire will expose its trace. When people on the island see it, they will notice that there is a problem.

midway islands.

It is composed of sound Island, East Island and spit island. At this time, on sound Island, Henderson airport established by the U.S. Navy, a runway almost running through the whole island, looks very clear.

Midway Island is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is an alternate landing place for many intercontinental airliners. Once the plane has an accident, it can land here, and the current role of this airport is still military.

But now there are few planes in the base, and most of them have been transferred to the Aleutian Islands to participate in the war there. There is only one water reconnaissance aircraft Squadron, and the total number of other personnel in the base is less than 800.

In the distance of the runway, at the top of a hill, a large radar station is working. Countless electromagnetic waves diffuse in the sky. Once something is found, it will send an alarm for the first time, which will be transmitted to Hawaii, Washington and the White House through submarine cables.

Radar in this era has many limitations. It can only find aircraft above a certain altitude. Therefore, the shipborne seaplane ejected by the island navy has not been observed at all.

Another boring day, a radar soldier walked out of the radar station and looked out. Suddenly, his eyes widened. A fire appeared on the sea in the distance!

Night has fallen. What is that fire?

"Damn it, what's that? Come on, report to the superior! " Cried the radar soldier. He rushed back to the radar station and grabbed the phone on the table.

At first, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, the vigilance of the US military was very low. Even if the radar found the plane, they thought it was their own. Now, with the beginning of the cruel Pacific War, they have been completely vigilant.

This situation is unusual, this fire means the situation!

"Assemble, the army of the whole island, raise alert immediately!" Colonel Lord, the commander of Midway Island, shouted. He put on his military uniform and pistol and wanted to go out to check his combat readiness.
