Chapter 85 Watching comrades shot dead

The leader of the Japanese plane suddenly left the group. When it dived to about 100 feet above the ground, the plane turned its fuselage over, turned its back to the sky, and flew over the tarmac leisurely.While flying, the pilot put his thumb on his nose, expressing his contempt and mockery of the US military. The U.S. anti-aircraft gunners on the ground were stunned. For several seconds, everyone forgot to shoot, not understanding what this devil wanted to do.A marine scolded: "What the hell is going on!" Then a shell hit the past. The leader of the team, Nikki, thought he had seven heads and eight gallbladders, but in fact he didn’t have an iron cloth shirt with a golden bell on his body. He could only stagger into the sea as if he had been hit by a shell. Hurt.

Similar to the Thunder Island raid, there were as many bombs over East Island as there were dumplings.However, all the planes on Dongdao Airport had been sent out long ago, only the fake plane on the runway was blown up as a real plane. Out of professional instinct, the great director Ford, the first reaction was not to find a place to hide, but to quickly point the camera at the hangar on Sand Island, because he knew that the hangar would definitely become the main target of the Japanese bombing, although it was actually empty . Sure enough, the hangar was given "VIP" treatment during the raid, and the entire hangar was flown into the sky.During filming, there was a scene that frightened Ford. A huge explosion fragment flew straight towards the camera, and he was shocked so stupidly.

Fortunately, Ford only suffered elbow and shoulder injuries, in exchange for rewards: he not only photographed the bombing of the hangar, but also left images of debris flying in the lens, which later became the documentary "Midway". Important information on Battle of the Islands. The Japanese did not and would not spare any ground facilities. After the airport and the hangar, the canteen and the canteen were not spared either. over the shooter's head, knocking him unconscious.The dude wakes up and gasps, "I've never had a beer on an empty stomach like this." There is also a happy thing. The cardboard box containing the cigarettes in the canteen was also shaken open, and the white cigarettes were scattered everywhere.What a blessing from heaven, the marines were overjoyed, they could pick up extra money all over the place, anyway, no money, whoever picks it up counts.

After the bombers, the "Zero", which ended the air battle, followed closely.While these Japanese planes fired at the ground targets they found, they chased and killed the remaining American fighter jets. Japanese fighter pilots are still so hateful, they are a group of out-and-out cold-blooded people.If the bravery of the U.S. military is a kind of fighting spirit and advocates people-oriented, the Japanese army is not the same. The value of life seems to be nothing in their eyes. We both want to live..." The little devil himself didn't want to live, and he didn't want others to live. The US plane was shot down, the pilot had parachuted, and the "Zero" plane was still shooting with its machine gun.The U.S. military on the ground dispatched two life rafts to try to rescue the pilot, but they were blocked by the reef and could not pass through. As a result, they could only watch the pilot being shot to death by bullets.

Witnessing this situation, the survivors were extremely sad and angry.Fighting can be one-sided, and even defeat and death can be accepted. This is aboveboard, but this is the first time they have encountered such a despicable and vicious behavior in their lives. No one is willing to show kindness to the "Zero" aircraft, and they all want to beat these man-eating monsters down at all costs, but the aircraft does not live up to it. 2 "Buffalo" and 1 "Zero" fought. When the "Zero" attacked, the 2 "Buffaloes" seemed to be tied by a rope and could only be beaten passively. 2:1, the one that was shot down It is not the "Zero" type, but one of the "Buffalo".Finally, relying on the cover of ground firepower, the other "Buffalo" was able to save its life.

The spectators on the ground were indignant: "I believe that as long as our aircraft's performance is half as good as that of the 'Zero' aircraft, we can control this air attack." It is also difficult for ground anti-aircraft guns to pose a sufficient threat to the "Zero" type: the "Zero" type flies high and cannot reach it; it flies low and cannot catch it. The anti-aircraft shells always seem to be a beat late, and can only explode behind the "Zero", until a "Zero" flies too low, and when it reaches 100 feet or even 25 feet, the anti-aircraft gun hits its fuel tank. Hit this forgetful Japanese plane into flames.

After the air strike was over, Shannon and Saimad counted the losses. Except for the loss of a fighter squadron in the air battle, the main defense facilities on the ground were not seriously damaged. The airstrip, gasoline depot, radio and radar equipment were basically preserved. The Japanese army destroyed 5 planes in the air battle, and 4 planes were shot down by anti-aircraft guns during the air strike. In addition, more than 30 planes were damaged. Among them, 2 "Zero" planes died after returning to the aircraft carrier due to excessive damage. Scrapped. Things turned out better than expected for the defenders, just the opposite for the attackers.

Captain Tomonagajo, who commanded the air strike on behalf of Fuchida, was obviously not satisfied with the results of the air strike. He did not encounter any bombers or patrol planes on the island, and he did not know where they went, but what is known is that the airport runway is still usable. All planes landed safely on the runway when returning to the island.In addition, the anti-aircraft artillery groups and ground defense positions on Midway Island were not destroyed, and the "welcome treatment" received by the Japanese landing forces when they landed was also not degraded.Tomonaga's leader plane was injured, and the transmitter was also broken. He wrote his combat suggestions for Nagumo on a small blackboard and held it up for the second plane to read.After the No. 2 machine saw it, it sent a report to the mobile unit in the name of Tomoyong: "It is necessary to launch a second attack at 7 o'clock."

Netizens would never have imagined that the missing U.S. bombers were "preemptively striking" at this time, and they were about to attack mobile forces.
