New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

Ringing, ringing, reached out and pressed the alarm clock on the bedside.Ron rubbed his sleepy eyes, his head was still aching from the hangover from last night's carnival.It seems that William's negative description of the vodka of that wine is not without reason.Get up from the bed, walk to the window, open the thick curtains, and the strong sunlight that is unique to the tropics suddenly shines in. Ron only feels that his eyes are white, and he can't see anything.

Ron stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and after a while, the dazzling white light gradually receded.Now, through the window, you can see the sea, the beach, the coconut grove, and the road around the coast, all kinds of vehicles on the road, and at a slightly farther intersection, you can also see a few gendarmes wearing white helmets Maintain order.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and when the door opened, there were Tom and Pato standing at the door.

"Hey, are you up? Just like yesterday, we thought you wouldn't be up today."

Like yesterday?Yes, yesterday was the first battle between the navy and the army. Under the leadership of Ron, the army relied on its numerical superiority to launch round after round of onslaught against the navy.The first to fall was Petrov. This White Russian was not a small drinker, but he was more willing to pour himself than to pour others.When the Russians crashed down, William quickly followed suit.

Sadly, the end of foreign wars does not mean peace.After the navy was overwhelmed, a brutal civil war broke out.The army's extreme rightists headed by Tom began to slander Ron as a collaborator, so Ron also collapsed under the table.

"You guys, yesterday you said that you were unanimous... It gave me a headache and I almost couldn't get out of bed." Ron complained. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that what he said was wrong, and the second half was very bad. Ambiguity.Fortunately, the guy opposite him is not a guy who is a future generation forum guy, so he didn't notice that sentence.

"It's so early, what's the matter?" Ron immediately changed the subject.

"Report to the army."

Oh, there is such a thing.He washed his face in a hurry, changed into the army uniform, went downstairs, got into a truck with a few people, and then the car started staggeringly.After walking along the coastline for a while, the car turned a corner and got into a coconut grove along a small road.The sun shines through the huge leaves of the coconut trees, casting mottled and flickering light and shadow on the road.For a moment, Ron remembered his previous experience of traveling to Hainan Island.

The truck stopped in front of a barracks.This is the barracks of the Army Air Corps stationed on Oahu.Looking east from here, through the gaps of densely packed coconut trees, you can vaguely see a few fighter jets placed there.

A major received them.He welcomed them, and the officer told them that the Army had arranged for them to join the air force as close as possible.However, considering their hard work, they have a one-month family leave to go back to the United States.By this time it was already lunch.After a bland lunch, I just returned to the dormitory.Then I got another piece of good news: the next day there was a plane heading for the continental United States.

This news made Tom and the others extremely excited.Tom's family is in a small town on the Mississippi River, where he has his wife and three children.Pato's home is near Atlanta. He has no wife yet, but his parents are still there.It is still a wonderful thing to be able to climb out of the trap of war and take a look at home, even if it is temporarily.

As for Ron, well, judging from the integrated memory, his hometown is in California, where he has parents and two older brothers.His father was an aircraft engineer and had been working in military companies for decades. His eldest son, Ron's eldest brother, inherited his father's talent in mechanics. He graduated from Massachusetts and is now in charge of weapon design in an arms company.Now married, with twin daughters.As for Ron's second brother, he is a doctor of medicine.But, well, he's not very talkative, and he's kind of weirdly out of place.

However, compared to Tom and the others who were eager to go home and were extremely excited, Ron felt a little strange.After all, the soul that is now in this body has changed.But the warm feeling of home left over from the previous owner still lingers on him.And, the nostalgia for another home—a home he could never return to—made him feel strangely indifferent to his American home.

"Forget it, it's good to go back." Since he inherited this body, he has to bear some responsibilities of this body accordingly.

But things often moved with surprising speed, and after only a few hours Ron had orders: his holiday had been postponed because of the demands of the war.Now, the war situation in the Pacific requires experienced pilots like him to stay and fight.Now the army aviation of a certain island needs to be strengthened urgently, and the wing that Ron just joined will be transferred to strengthen the defense of the island.However, Tom's vacation is still valid.

The order did not specify where they were going, but Ron knew very well that their destination could only be - Midway Island.

More than a month ago, that is, on April 1942, 4, 18 Army Aviation B16 bombers taking off from the USS Hornet under the leadership of General Doolittle attacked Tokyo, Japan.This is the first time that the Japanese mainland has been hit by an air strike in the true sense.Prior to this, the Chinese Air Force also carried out a night attack on Japan, but the Chinese did not drop bombs that time, what they dropped were just pieces of paper.Leaflets that hoped for "peace-loving human beings" were largely useless.Because the "peace-loving Japanese people" are too rare, perhaps even less than the number of albino giant pandas.

But this time is different, the Americans dropped real bombs, and they dropped them in front of the Japanese who were all over Tokyo during the day. Although the bombs dropped were not many, the damage caused was very limited.But the pressure they put on the Japanese themselves is unprecedented: isn't it said that the Great Japanese Empire is invincible in every battle?How could the capital of the empire be bombed by American ghosts? Ri himself judged that the bomber took off from Midway Island, in order to ensure the safety of the empire.Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto 56 decided to use a huge and decisive force to capture Midway Island in one fell swoop.At this time, the US intelligence agencies made a technological breakthrough.

In close cooperation with relevant units in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence began to successfully decipher some codes of the Japanese Navy's main communication system JN-25.In early May, the coalition forces made a major breakthrough in cracking the jn-25, and thus gained the ability to spy on the Japanese navy's plan. JN-25 let the coalition forces know that the "af bearing" will be the next attack target of the Japanese navy, but the coalition forces just couldn't crack the "af bearing" position.Some high-ranking generals of the US military believe that the "af bearing" is Midway Island, while others believe that it is the Aleutian Islands.However, no matter how advanced the coalition's decoding technology is, it still cannot decipher the correct position of the "af bearing".While the high-level U.S. military was struggling, a young military officer thought of a clever plan to confirm whether the "af bearing" was Midway Island.He asked the commander of the Midway Naval Base to use a radio code with a low level of secrecy to call Pearl Harbor for help, saying that there was a problem with the fresh water supply station on Midway Island, which caused the entire Midway Island to face a crisis of water shortage.Not long after, the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence intercepted a jn-25 message, which indeed mentioned the water shortage problem in the "af direction".So the "af bearing" was confirmed to be Midway Island, which is the next attack target of the Japanese Navy.

This is a battle that affects the direction of the entire war.Therefore, the U.S. military decided to secretly strengthen the defense forces of Midway Island.The transfer of Ron's unit was a decision made in this situation.For Ron, it was impossible to avoid this battle.

Since it cannot be avoided, then face the challenge.There is not much time left now, but hurry up, at least there is still a chance for these rookies who have not been on the battlefield to learn how to get rid of zero battles, and even how to use the scissors cross tactics to win.

That night, when Ron volunteered, the wing gathered all the pilots and listened to Ron explain how to use left roll and dive to get rid of zero combat, and how to use scissors to cooperate in combat.The pilots were very enthusiastic, but Ron still found that their abilities were still much worse than those who had experienced the test of war on the Yorktown.This made him extremely worried about the subsequent air battle.

And when Ron learned about the fighter planes equipped by the wing, his worries became even heavier.What the wing needs to fly over is just some bombers. As for the fighter pilots, after they get there, there are the Marine Corps' f2a buffalo fighter jets (the last battle of the buffalo type of the US military in history is also the battle that really broke the job is the battle of midway island, When 6 Japanese planes roared towards Midway in the early morning of June 4th, 108 Buffaloes of the Marine Corps, with the cooperation of a small number of Wildcats, faced the enemy planes. The ending was very tragic, although they have been following up bravely The catalina patrol plane of ri's own fleet accurately dropped the flare on ri's head, but the f26a didn't even get close to the bombers and was surrounded by 2 zeros. 36 were shot down on the spot, 17 were injured, and only 7 were safe Returning to the voyage, the "Zero" type has no loss, and it is completely one-sided. The U.S. Navy has to admit that if the f4f can barely deal with the "Zero" type, then the f2a is pure waste), and the navy's f4f is available.

"Oh, God, you must give me f4f, don't let me be a shepherd boy!" Ron couldn't help but regret not accepting the navy's invitation.A good wingman is your other life.A good crew must be familiar with and trust each other.But in these few days, it would be nice for Ron to be familiar with the other pilots. It is definitely a dream to reach such a level.On the contrary, I spent a lot of time with those guys in the navy, and the mutual familiarity and cooperation are much better.
