A few days later at exactly 04:30, June 4. After performing the ceremony of homage to the Emperor as usual. Admiral Madya Nagumo launched the first attack on Midway with 36 Aichi D3A dive bombers and 36 Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers under the escort of 36 Zeros.
At the same time Nagumo also flew several armed air patrol aircraft along with 8 reconnaissance aircraft.
"Sir, is this the right decision to fly only a few reconnaissance aircraft. Moreover, the weather is also currently not good!" Assistant Nagumo.
"Don't ask too many questions, I've thought through this plan carefully. Just relax..." Reply Nagumo while sipping his cigar casually.
But without Nagumo realizing it he had made a faux pas with too few planes to carry out the search.
Dividing into two groups of reconnaissance aircraft to the east and east of the Japanese task force was all a big mistake.
Not to mention Yamamoto's disposition had added to this matter of being so serious that it made a fatal mistake.
*******
In the control room of one of the American warships, their radar had detected the presence of the Japanese Fleet within a range of several miles and immediately contacted all three Mother Ships.
All the Marini who were still asleep were immediately forced to wake up and prepare to counter the attack by Japanese forces.
"F.ck! I just had a dream to meet my girlfriend. This is so unfair!" Kevin looked really upset when someone knocked on the door really hard.
"When this war will end. I want to go home..." Robby already looks lackluster while wearing his war clothes are quite heavy.
Lately the two men have often complained and made Nathan and Harry can only shake their heads.
"Not you two who were originally so excited to join the war and force us both to come along? Why are you complaining like that now?" Harry smiled insinuatingly at the two men while tightening his bulletproof vest.
"Curtain! If it wasn't to impress my girlfriend and earnest war rewards, I wouldn't have given up my life so easily either..." Said Kevin, who was influenced by Robby.
Nathan and Harry who saw it could only sigh, then the two of them immediately headed towards the deck of the ship to heat up their plane's engine.
Arriving at the deck of the ship, Nathan shivered coldly because the weather this morning was very extreme. The four-meter-high waves continued to hit the hull and making the flight times would require extra manpower.
"Hurry and check Harry's plane, I can't stand being outside anymore..." Nathan blew out his hand and climbed into the cockpit and closed the cabin to ward off the cold wind.
The corner of Harry's lips twitched, but he couldn't turn it down either because it was one of his duties and he quickly checked the condition of the plane before entering after Nathan.
"Everything is in order, let the engine of the plane go. It still feels so cold!" Said Harry while rubbing his hands and blowing them.
Without being told, Nathan would keep the engine on and wait for some technicians to attach the bomb to his plane.
At 06:20 a.m., the Japanese aircraft reached the air base at Midway. At first they thought that the place would be full of American planes, but in reality it was not.
There were only a few American fighters who looked old, but they eventually decided to bomb the airbase.
In the early morning battle, the Japanese air squadron damaged the American airbase at Midway and downed several of their aircraft. There were only two American warplanes while the Japanese lost several bombers and 3 Zeros.
Meanwhile, the pilots of SBD aircraft have seen their targets that have quite strange positions. There is a Japanese Mothership, Hiryu, sandwiched between three other aircraft carriers.
Meanwhile, Nathan and the pilot of a plane from Yorktown lock their target, the aircraft carrier Soryu. In just six minutes the SBD planes managed to make their targets devoured by fire.
The aircraft carrier Akagi was badly damaged when a bomb dropped that hollowed out the top deck and blasting fuel for the plane and its ammunition.
Soryu's aircraft carrier was badly hit by three bombs on the hangar deck, while Kaga dropped more than four bombs and rendered the three carriers unusable.
The crew immediately left the three aircraft carriers and leaked before they were finally sunk.
The remaining Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryu immediately counterattacked. The dive bombers were immediately deployed in the first wave.
The attack focused on the Yorktown aircraft carrier was quite successful, with three bombs hitting it and the carrier having to stop moving.
But it was not long after the technicians managed to repair the damage within an hour and make the ship move again.
In the second wave of attacks the Japanese aircraft carrying torpedoes managed to do its job. Two torpedoes hit the Yorktown aircraft carrier and forced it to stop.
"The battle this time was really fierce. They're more than us!" Harry complained several times that he had to shoot down the plane that was chasing them.
"Either... But there's no other choice we have to keep coming. If you run away, it could be considered a standby." Nathan replies while shooting at the aircraft still attacking the Yorktown aircraft carrier.
"Well... It'd better be done quickly..." Harry nodded slowly.
"Just calm down, only four days of fighting here will be over soon..." Nathan's reply.
"Where do you know?" Harry was surprised by Nathan's guess. But Nathan didn't question Harry and focused on shooting.
When the two have refocused, Kevin and Robby suddenly appear and maneuver around the plane driven by Nathan and Harry.
"Fuck you Kevin!" Robby was upset because he almost shot down Kevin and Robby's plane, which was thought to be the enemy.
"Haha! Don't be so serious, Harry!" Reply Kevin while laughing freely see the look of Harry's annoyed face.
Harry unexpectedly pointed his machine gun at Kevin's plane and caused Robby to panic.
"Harry don't be crazy, we're just kidding!" Robby said while sweating coldly.
Harry was upset and managed to make the guts of his two friends shrivel. Afterwards they began to work together to dispel Japanese aircraft targeting the Yorktown Mothership.
Later that night, as a result of a brutal attack by Japanese aircraft, the crew of the Yorktown aircraft carrier were forced to evacuate the Enterprise carrier, as the Yorktown aircraft carrier was forced to sink.
Nathan and his three friends and several pilots at night had to remain alert despite the attack. This is because an officer is still vigilant if the Japanese attack at night.
That night the atmosphere in the quiet sea was gripping and filled by ships from both sides that were burning due to this battle.
Some Marines start acting strangely depressed and desperate to find a battle that will be very difficult to win.
But not with Nathan who remains relaxed because he already knows clearly the results of this battle for the future.
