Age of Conquest Reborn

Nimitz just watched like this. Six torpedoes rushed towards him ferociously. He could do nothing. The clumsy and huge hull of the "Lexington" slowly made evasive movements. The anti-aircraft machine guns on the deck did not care about the target.

The Japanese aircraft circling overhead fired, turned their guns, and fired like crazy at the torpedoes coming towards them.

The dense bullets caused strings of foam to appear on the sea surface. One torpedo was hit, making a loud bang and causing a column of water to rise into the sky. The remaining five torpedoes were not affected in any way, just at "Lexington"

"No. 1" aircraft carrier, all the U.S. sailors looked on in horror as they crashed into the hull.

"Boom, boom, boom!" With a series of explosions, several huge black holes were blown out of the part below the waterline of the "Lexington" aircraft carrier. The turbulent seawater suddenly poured in, and the huge hull of the aircraft carrier suddenly burst into flames.

Pour, and then, the explosion detonated the carrier-based aircraft, oil and ammunition compartments in the hangar. Nimitz's last impression was that a thick smoke mixed with flames rushed towards him, and then, the boundless darkness instantly submerged him.

he.

At 9:45 a.m. on June 6, the USS Lexington, the flagship of the U.S. Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier group, suffered a violent explosion. The huge hull was reduced to countless fragments and sank in the northwest waters of Midway Island.

The commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Admiral Nimitz, was buried in the Pacific Ocean along with his flagship. At the last moment of his life, he could not even leave a few words. He was a famous general of the U.S. Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet.

, with his dreams and disappointments, with his good wishes to regroup, and with his ambition that was too late to open up territory for the United States of America, he fell and turned into a wisp of wronged souls over the vast Pacific Ocean.

The flagship of the aircraft carrier formation disappeared into the vast sea in an instant right under the nose of other U.S. warships, causing greater panic in the U.S. fleet and the shadow of a powerful and invincible Japanese army. The plague generally spread in the fleet, and every warship

, all thinking of escaping from this sea of ​​death as soon as possible. The already precarious air defense system collapsed in an instant.

The commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, Rear Admiral Hofkins, captain of the aircraft carrier "Yorktown", gave the order with a livid face, "Hang the fleet command flag immediately! Order all warships to move closer to us!"

Rear Admiral Hofigins saw the explosion and sinking of the Lexington. He knew that Commander Nimitz was dead, and thousands of people on the entire aircraft carrier were dead. With such a violent explosion, the aircraft carrier was shattered into pieces in an instant.

It was impossible for anyone to survive. The only thing he could do was to save as many warships as possible, concentrate firepower to break out, or hold on until land-based aviation rescue arrived. Otherwise, the Pacific Fleet would be truly annihilated.

Rear Admiral Yoshitomo Tani, the commander of the Japanese naval task force aviation. After witnessing the "Lexington" with the command flag flying, was blown into pieces and sank, he was so excited that he howled like a wolf, "Well done, air warriors of the Empire!

"Having already sunk two American aircraft carriers, it had only been fifty minutes since the battle began. By the time the main force of the task force arrived, the massacre should have ended. The joke between myself and Xiaolin-kun had become a reality.

!

Gu Xiong was at high altitude, looking down at the smoky sea. All the U.S. warships were emitting black smoke and fire. Because the hulls were severely damaged, their speed was as slow as a snail. At this time, he suddenly saw

When they arrived, a command flag was hoisted on the mast of an American aircraft carrier. A cruel smile appeared on Gu Xiong's lips, and he ordered: "The first carrier air wing, attack the aircraft carrier with the command flag with all its strength.

Be sure to blow it up!"

After hoisting the command flag and taking over the command, Major General Hofigins knew very well that by doing so, he would undoubtedly attract more ferocious attacks from Japanese aircraft. Before the other two aircraft carriers were buried in the sea, he

Rear Admiral Hofkins hurriedly sent a telegram to the Navy Department reporting what happened in the waters off Midway.

"The Department of the Navy transferred to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Our aircraft carrier formation was suddenly violently attacked by Japanese carrier-based aircraft. After more than fifty minutes of fierce fighting, the flagship "Lexington" aircraft carrier in the formation, the "Saratoga"

The aircraft carriers were successively bombed and sunk by Japanese aircraft. The commander of the Pacific Fleet, General Nimitz, unfortunately died in the line of duty. In addition, more than half of the other warships in the formation were bombed and sunk."

"Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, this is the second heavy blow our Pacific Fleet has suffered. If we cannot get timely rescue from land-based fighter jets, the Pacific Fleet will face the fate of being annihilated. This attack, Japan

The warship-based aircraft appeared very suddenly, and they seemed to have grasped the exact position of our aircraft carrier formation in advance. The battle situation was urgent, and I had already taken over the command of the formation."

Major General Hofigins wanted to continue writing, but the Japanese aircraft did not give him time. Dozens of Japanese bombers surrounded the "Yorktown" aircraft carrier and dropped bombs like crazy. The bombs roared from the sky and fell from the aircraft carrier deck.

The buildings above were swept away by a flurry of flying steel fragments and turned into a mess.

Rear Admiral Hofigins tried hard to control his swaying body and said to the adjutant: "Send this telegram immediately. Remember, no matter what happens, the Navy Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff must know how much damage has been done to our formation.

Big loss!"

Just as the adjutant stumbled out, a heavy bomb exploded near the control tower. The air wave caused shattered the glass. Several pieces of shrapnel roared in with a metallic trembling sound, taking away the lives of several staff officers.

Afterwards, one of the shrapnel wedged itself hard into the back of Major General Hofigins, and the impact threw the Major General far away.

The few surviving staff officers screamed and rushed towards the commander, lifting the body of Major General Hofigins. The staff officers were horrified to find that shrapnel had penetrated the general's chest, and a ferocious corner was exposed from the chest, with irregular shrapnel on it.

, still with red blood, Rear Admiral Hofigins did not leave a last word, becoming another major general-level senior officer of the U.S. Pacific Fleet killed in action after General Nimitz.

Twenty minutes later, the "Yorktown" aircraft carrier slowly sank under the siege of Japanese bombers. Unlike the sinking of the other two aircraft carriers, it was not torn into pieces. The US sailors on the aircraft carrier still had to escape.

Given the opportunity, they all jumped into the sea where the corpses, oil and debris of their comrades were floating. However, they thought wrongly. Even if they left the sunken warship, they could not escape their tragic fate.

More than a dozen Japanese fighter jets rushed over and aimed at the U.S. sailors on the sea. They fired a hail of bullets, turning the sea as if it were boiling. The bright red blood dyed the sea water red. The floating corpses of the U.S. sailors lay in the water.

On the sea, drifting helplessly with the waves of the Pacific Ocean.

The Japanese naval task force, under the command of the fleet chief of staff, Rear Admiral Hidezumi Kobayashi, pounced on it as quickly as possible. Rear Admiral Kobayashi stood on the command tower and witnessed the sinking of the last aircraft carrier of the U.S. Pacific Fleet through the telescope.

He shook his head and thought with a wry smile: "Gu Xiongjun is really a fighting maniac. The joke he made on himself has come true. The main force of the fleet has arrived, and he can only clean the battlefield?"

The Japanese naval task force, with more than seventy warships, was divided into two groups, the left and right, and surrounded the remaining U.S. warships. The Japanese warships, whose eyes were red with excitement from the huge achievements of the carrier-based aircraft, pounced on them like a group of hungry wolves, fearing that

Not being able to get much meat in his mouth, the front main gun and the broadside gun went crazy, pouring down shells like raindrops on the scarred US warship with a smoking hull.

Those Japanese warships that failed to catch the target turned their guns at the US sailors on the sea and the escaping boats. They rained down artillery shells and machine shells, harvesting the lives of the US sailors and massacring these defenseless ones.

The American sailors felt a bloodthirsty excitement.

Forty minutes later, no more US warships or living US sailors could be seen on the sea. There were only the remnants of the sunken warship, layers of corpses of US sailors, and a faint red oil stain.

Kobayashi Xiuquan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and ordered: "The fleet will return at full speed immediately! Each aircraft carrier is ready to receive carrier-based aircraft for landing!"

Rear Admiral Yoshitomo Tani, who was the last one to fly back to the aircraft carrier, circled over the aircraft carrier and was about to land when he suddenly spotted an American Stars and Stripes floating freely on the sea. Tani Xiong pulled up the nose of the aircraft and said with a smile

With a disdainful sneer, he aimed at the Stars and Stripes and swept it wildly until the American flag was riddled with holes and sank into the sea, then he landed on the ship with satisfaction.

As soon as Yoshitomo Taniyu jumped out of the cabin, Chief of Staff Major General Hideizumi Kobayashi and Colonel Yohei Kono, the intelligence officer, rushed over. The three people's hands were tightly held together. Kobayashi said with a trembling voice: "Taniyu-kun, you have created a miracle!

This will be recorded heavily in the Imperial Navy’s military calendar. You are a hero of the Imperial Navy! Please accept my respect!”

After saying that, he paid a military salute to Tani Xiong's good friend. Tani Xiong took the hands of Kobayashi and Kono, shook his head and said: "Kobayashi-kun, Kono-kun, it wasn't me who created the miracle, but the three of us created the miracle together! Honor!"

Belongs to you and me, to the task force, and to the invincible Imperial Navy!" A burst of triumphant and wanton laughter, with the smell of blood, echoed on the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

The three Japanese naval officers, who were so carried away by the huge victory, will never know until their death that the one who gave them brilliant achievements was the sworn enemy of the Japanese, the Chinese who were feared by the Japanese military and called the "China Devil"

** Division Commander Tang Qiuli.

Indochina Peninsula, Yangon, ** Division Rear Headquarters, Division Commander Tang Qiuli did not make any comments after receiving Bai Luoyu's call. He put down the phone and looked with his deep eyes across the clear sky of Indochina Peninsula towards the distant sky.

Pacific Ocean!

The U.S. Pacific Fleet, which hindered the Japanese ambitions to advance southward, was completely destroyed. Next, the fierce competition between the United States and Japan should be Hawaii Island and Luzon Island!
