A film based on real events. Covers three historical facts: the attack on Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Tokyo, and the Battle of Midway. It is recommended to watch history Xiaobai, you can learn a lot of history by watching the bullet screen. Nimitz was ordered in danger after the Pearl Harbor incident, reused intelligence officer Leighton to deduce the Japanese combat target and attack direction, and led the aircraft carrier fleet and many ace pilots to fight bloody battles in the Battle of Midway. online invasion.
The following is the time of my own notes (I am afraid that I have forgotten it, please point out if there is a discrepancy and misunderstanding):
The United States was initially neutral. At the beginning of the film, Leiden and Yamamoto fifty-six talk, 80% of Japan's oil comes from the United States, I hope the United States will figure out its own position? (Some say that because the resource consumption of Japan's eastern front in China had reached a critical point at that time, the United States cut off oil supply at this time. Japan did not want to give up the results of the eastern operation, and instead bet on a two-front operation to attack the United States. It is also said that Japan wants to expand the results of the war. , coveted the Pacific Ocean for a long time)
At that time, Yamamoto proposed to attack Pearl Harbor, an important military center of the United States. The unexpected surprise attack caused many aircraft carriers in Pearl Harbor to be destroyed, and the soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties. However, Nagumo Chuichi deviates in the execution and did not blow up the fuel tank in Pearl Harbor, giving the US military a chance to respite and counterattack. After Nimitz was ordered in danger, he first sent bloody pilots to bomb Tokyo. Because the plane's fuel tank was not enough at that time, it could not return after the bombing of Tokyo, and could only continue to fly to Russia or to China. Some pilots were captured by the Japanese army, and some were rescued by Chinese farmers at the time after arriving in China.
This raid boosted the morale of the U.S. military, which was in a sluggish state at the time, but at the same time it also threatened the life of Emperor Nihiro at the time. At the same time, it also made the Japanese army more clearly aware of the importance of Midway Island. (Advance can attack and retreat can be defended) Yamamoto Fifty-six threatened to resign and continued the Midway plan. At this time, the important figures Layton and the genius intelligence intercepted some intelligence of the US military, and combined with the previous intelligence to speculate that AF is Midway. (There is a detail in the movie, Nimitz asked Layton to prove his inference to the White House, but at that time, suffering from no evidence, they pretended to leak a Ming Pao newspaper saying that Midway was short of fresh water, and it appeared in the intercepted Japanese military intelligence. The information that AF lacked water) Nimitz trusted Leiden's intelligence inference, and based on his inference that the coral island was a Japanese raid point, he transferred his troops back to the vicinity of Midway and successfully ambush the Japanese army. But the disparity in strength (the US military's aircraft equipment is worse than the Japanese army, plus the 72-hour emergency maintenance of the aircraft carrier, a total of 4). In the face of the US suicide fighter jets, Nagumo ordered to change the torpedoes into shells (it takes 5 minutes to change the ammunition). However, the Japanese reconnaissance was not good enough to find that the US aircraft carrier was approaching at the same time. Half of the shells can only be exchanged for torpedoes again. On the one hand, the Japanese army is in a hurry, and the other is the dive bombing of the US military. In the end, the Japanese army was completely defeated, and Yamaguchi Takan and the captain died at sea.
