In 1942, Japan focused its attention on Midway Island six months after attacking Pearl Harbor, hoping to take this opportunity to guide the remaining warships of the US Pacific Fleet to Midway Island and annihilate it in one fell swoop. This is not only a revenge for the US Air Force’s air raid on Tokyo, but also to open the door to the Hawaiian Islands. For this reason, the Japanese Navy invested half of its forces and almost dispatched.
When the war came, faced with the anxiety of his comrades, the pilot Richard Bestbluntly“he has the right to fear”, so that his comrades’ love for the country and their desire for peace finally defeated fear; Intelligence officer Edwin Leightondraws on the experience of the failure of the Pearl Harbor incident, and through clever intelligence analysis, predicts that the Japanese will take greater action on Midway Island. These young soldiers passed through the rain of guns, using their flesh and blood to reverse the situation of World War II. In the end, the U.S. military defeated the attack fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy near Midway Atoll, sinking four Japanese aircraft carriers at the cost of losing only one aircraft carrier, the "Yorktown", and achieved a preliminary victory in reversing the Pacific War
