The first U.S. attack aircraft fleet, including 20 B-25 bombers taken off from Midway, 30 Navy fearless dive bombers taken off from Midway, and 20 carefully selected P-40 fighters.

If we count the other P-40 fighters that make up the numbers, there are as many as 60 escort fighters that the US military took off from Midway Island.

At the same time, US carrier-based aircraft took off 35 Avenger torpedo attack aircraft and 15 Fearless Diving Bombers.

The number of carrier-based fighters taken off the aircraft carrier is the smallest, with only the pitiful five. This is what the United States pieced together and has all the attack power.

Together with the Navy and the Army, the US military dispatched a total of 100 attack aircraft and 65 escort fighter jets.

The total number is 165 US clusters, which are actually similar to the carrier-based attacks that Japan simply takes off from aircraft carriers.

These planes rushed towards the Japanese aviation fleet, and at this time Tadichi Nagamo was taking off more Zero fighters to head near Midway Island to cover the approaching battleship fleet.

For a moment, the roar of plane engines was everywhere near Midway Island, and planes were whistling by everywhere in the sky.

When the Japanese fighter pilots headed to Midway Island, no one knew that there was a huge group of attack aircraft leaning towards Tadichi Nagamo.

A Japanese destroyer responsible for the periphery of the outside, was guarding the sailors in the sky and were the first to discover the American plane in the sky.

"Sergeant! Sergeant!" He put down his telescope and shouted loudly to his commander in the distance: "American plane! American plane!"

"Roll the battle alarm! Hurry!" The sergeant was so scared that he was out of his mind. He looked at the plane in the sky and ordered.

"Bang! Bang!" One of the few anti-aircraft guns on the Japanese destroyer began to attack, but they only played a warning role.

"The destroyer Nobuyuki sent a warning signal... They discovered the US military aircraft!" On the bridge of the Akagi aircraft carrier, Tadaichi Nagamoto received a report from his subordinates.

He frowned and gave his own order: "Let the patrol fighters dispel these American planes! Take off more Zero fighters and shoot these damn American planes!"

What Nakamoto was most worried about was that he was already close to Midway Island's battleship squadron.

If his fighter planes were entangled by American planes at this time, it would be less timely to support the battleship fleet near Midway Island.

Once something goes wrong with the battleship fleet, wouldn’t he be responsible for this? After thinking about it, he decided to kill the American plane while drawing some strength to reinforce Midway Island.

But after a minute, he stopped thinking so. Because there were too many American planes, his fleet had to do defensive maneuvers.

"The Canglong aircraft carrier is turning, and due to maneuvering problems, the aircraft cannot take off and land normally!" An officer ran in and reported to Nagashi Takashi Nakamoto.

At this time, Tadaichi Nagamo finally realized that the US fleet had discovered it and had launched the first batch of attacks.
