Chapter 219 The Japanese army was annihilated

"The Battle of Midway was a turning point in the U.S.-Japanese naval war. Japan invested 6 aircraft carriers and the United States invested 3. However, the United States completely deciphered the Japanese military code, so it put on a show. It was a successful anti-ambush success. You are one of them. What role can the intelligence chief play?"

"Leiden, you are not wrong."

Shao Zhen came back to his senses and looked at Nimitz in front of him. The first thing he thought about was

"Is this a plot character or a plot player?"

"Leiden, you are not wrong. Take this resignation letter back, continue your work as intelligence director, and provide our young men with more useful intelligence."

Shao Zhen knew that this timeline was after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The United States had already bombed Tokyo. Japan thought that the plane took off from Midway Island, so it was plotting to use Midway Island to ambush the U.S. aircraft carrier group in the Pacific. This plan is in the plot It was decided on May 5th, and now it is May 15th.

"Japan's next phase should be to attack Midway Island."

Shao Zhen seized the opportunity to warn Nimitz in advance.

Nimitz nodded and said

"The Joint Chiefs of Staff also has this opinion, but Aleutians are also possible."

Shao Zhen knew that Japan used six aircraft carriers to go to Midway Island on June 3, and used two aircraft carriers to feign attack on Aleutians on June 2, but he can't say it now. He has to go back and find relevant proof.

Shao Zhen knew from the historical facts that were later declassified that the Hawaii intelligence chief at this time was a decryption genius. As long as he pretended to give casual hints, this genius should be able to provide him with enough information.

"Rochford, how have you been doing your research these days?"

“I don’t know where the Japanese AF refers to”

"Well, if you have any doubts, let them report some faults from previous years. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

On May 20, Rochford had confirmed that the Japanese main attack direction was Midway Island and the feint attack direction was Aleutian. The rehearsal plan was for eight aircraft carriers to completely destroy the only three aircraft carriers in the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

After receiving the evidence, Shao Zhen immediately suggested to Nimitz to make necessary preparations at Midway Island. Nimitz then sent his confidants to go back to Washington in person and find excuses to stockpile fighter jets and submarines at Midway Island before June 3.

Midway Island is the submarine base of the US military, so all submarines in the Pacific were concentrated on Midway Island in the name of annual maintenance, and then all mobilizable seaplanes were placed in a position to support Midway Island at any time.

In order to confuse Japan, these orders were first sent to the Aleutians. In the Aleutians, they were verbally informed one by one to be on standby at Midway Island. A total of more than 300 submarines were assembled at Midway Island on standby.

Nimitz secretly deployed three strategic-class airships carrying wireless equipment over Midway Island. In order to confuse the Japanese, he sent three ordinary warships to pretend to be three aircraft carriers behind Pearl Harbor for communication.

Players on the Japanese military side have made it clear to Yamamoto and Nagumo several times that the U.S. military has mastered the Japanese military code and that these three aircraft carriers will arrive at Midway Island before June 3 to wait for work. However, Yamamoto and Nagumo directly sent these players to clean the aircraft carriers. deck.

On June 2, the two aircraft carriers that pretended to attack Aleutian were severely damaged by US submarines, which strengthened Yamamoto Nagumo's determination to attack Midway Island. On June 3, after high-altitude airships discovered that all six Japanese aircraft carriers had entered the ambush circle, the seaplane group was first The group flew over to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

Then start a saturated torpedo attack by attacking one aircraft carrier for every 50 submarines.

The aircraft carrier's fighter jets, under the radio command of the airship, attacked the aircraft carrier one by one. By June 7, Japan's 8 aircraft carriers and 100 Japanese warships of various types, as well as nearly 500 aircraft, had been bombed into the seabed. , the Japanese Navy suffered a devastating blow and completely lost control of the Pacific.
