As a review of a classic historical battle, especially the third remake version, the movie has basically respected history, but as a movie in a limited time, it cannot show too many details, and there will always be some flaws. However, different versions have different perspectives on rendering themes. Some respect the truth of history and provide a fair and just narrative, some deliberately depict several mistakes of the Japanese navy at major decision-making junctures, and describe them from the perspective of profound reflection, while others promote the unity and fearlessness of the US Navy and Air Force, as well as the military, intelligence, and combat readiness. emergency response. This film may be inclined to the third type, but I don't think it will affect the review of this famous classic battle that is enough to change history, change the world, and change Japan, the United States, and even China and other countries in the world! The background of the story is the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. At the beginning of World War II, under the policy of appeasement that the U.S. had nothing to do with Japan, all parties were slack, especially the neglect of the intelligence services, which resulted in the tragedy of Pearl Harbor and the heavy damage of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. In Pearl Harbor, "Japan sank four battleships and two destroyers, destroyed 188 aircraft, and damaged more buildings, ships, and aircraft. About 2,400 Americans were killed in the attack; another 1,250 were killed. Injured, this was a huge shock to the United States. After the attack, Japan officially declared war on the United States, and the next day, President Roosevelt delivered his famous "national humiliation" speech, and he then signed the official declaration of war against the Japanese Empire." ( Baidu) In this sneak attack, the U.S. Navy lost almost all its battleships, and the Pacific Fleet was almost paralyzed... And after this, as irritated Americans launched a retaliatory bombing of Tokyo,,, The war started, making the The state of combat readiness that the United States entered immediately, and the efforts and efforts of the intelligence department, made Midway the focus of both the United States and Japan on the combat readiness chessboard of their respective headquarters! It is imperative to fight for and defend Midway! At this time, Admiral Nimitz was ordered in danger and was appointed by Roosevelt as the commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Fleet. However, the Pacific Fleet had been hit hard at Pearl Harbor..., "—Congratulations on getting the most difficult job in the world..." [appointment Admiral Nimitz's movie lines] After the Pearl Harbor incident and before the Battle of Midway, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the US and Japan, and not many people could believe that the US could win this war that would change the fate of itself and the world! For the entire battle of Midway and the Coral Sea, the Japanese Navy mobilized a total of "8 aircraft carriers, 11 battleships, 22 cruisers, 65 destroyers, and 21 submarines. The so-called "Fate of Five Minutes". . . : After the U.S. aircraft on Midway launched a counterattack against the Japanese fleet, Admiral Nagumo believed that the defense of Midway was still strong, and changed the order to hang up torpedoes to search for and attack the aircraft of the U.S. fleet, unload the torpedoes and replace them with high-explosive bombs. Prepare to increase the bombing of Midway Island... However, when the Japanese reconnaissance plane, which was delayed for half an hour because of the repair of the catapult, sent back the news of the discovery of the US fleet, Lieutenant General Nagumo hurriedly ordered, and then replaced it with The plane with high-explosive bombs unloaded the bombs and converted torpedoes... For a time, bombs were piled up on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and there was chaos. The Japanese planes and escort Zeros that bombed Midway could not land, and Nagumo had to order a delay in attacking the U.S. fleet. . . However, at this time, the US torpedo bombers taking off from the "Enterprise", "Hornet" and "Yorktown" launched the first wave of attacks, but they were almost wiped out and suffered heavy losses. No one hit the Japanese aircraft carrier. And dozens of dive bombers led by McCluskey who started from the protagonist "Enterprise" aircraft carrier in the play, because they could not find the Japanese fleet was about to return, they found a Japanese destroyer, and this Japanese destroyer was the In order to prevent the attack of the US "Nautilus" submarine, and after falling behind with the aircraft carrier formation, McCluskey followed the destroyer and found the Japanese aircraft carriers "Kaga" and "Sake". At the same time, more than a dozen dive bombers from the Yorktown also launched a rapid attack on the Japanese "Canglong". In an instant, the three Japanese aircraft carriers caught fire and were blown up... When the US bombed the Japanese aircraft carrier, the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft Several intelligence mistakes were committed, which were not described in detail in the play, resulting in the delay of the Japanese aircraft to find the U.S. fleet. But on the way, they encountered a US dive-strike bomber returning from the bombing of the Japanese aircraft carrier, and they followed and found the Yorktown aircraft carrier, and then the "Yorktown" was also destroyed. . . What a coincidence. First, the U.S. aircraft followed a Japanese destroyer and sank three Japanese aircraft carriers, and then the Japanese aircraft followed a U.S. returning bomber and sank a U.S. aircraft carrier. The result was a world of difference. In the afternoon, the U.S. "Enterprise" aircraft carrier assembled the remaining strong-strike bombers to destroy the remaining Japanese aircraft carrier, the "Hiryu", when most of the Japanese fighter planes were blown up and killed and injured countless pilots and lost effective aircraft protection. . . In the evening, Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, the commander of the Japanese fleet, received an order from Yamamoto Fifty-six on the Japanese "Yamato", the world's largest warship at that time: withdrawing The Battle of Midway, and the sinking of the two damaged and irreversible aircraft carriers "Akagi" and "Hiryu", ended the one-day Battle of Midway! United States: 1 aircraft carrier ("USS Yorktown"), 1 destroyer ("Harman"), 147 aircraft (mostly shot down), 307 killed. Japan: 4 aircraft carriers ("Akagi", "Kaga", "Soryu", "Hiryu"), 1 heavy cruiser ("Mikuma"), 332 aircraft (including spare aircraft, about 280 aircraft carriers were blown up, only by 42 were shot down), 3,500 killed. [Baidu] The U.S. military won the final victory, in which the excellent performance of intelligence warfare dominated the war: Lieutenant Colonel Leighton, who was in charge of code-breaking at that time, predicted to the command: "The Japanese mobile fleet will come from the northwest, bearing 325 degrees, and will be in We found it 175 nautical miles from Midway, at 6:00 Midway time." When the Japanese fleet was found at the exact time, Nimitz said to Lieutenant Colonel Leighton: "Congratulations, it's only worse than what you predicted. 5 nautical miles." Now, the US Navy's first-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is named "Enterprise", while the second-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which is also the world's largest displacement, most aircraft-carrying, and most modernized aircraft carrier, is named after the USS Enterprise. "Nimitz" named. This victory, at the time, both sides may not have realized what this naval battle meant. Today, only now do we know how important the outcome of the Battle of Midway is. On the surface, it was the turning point of the Pacific War, but it actually affected the whole process and outcome of World War II, and then affected the whole world. He made the U.S. military turn the tide of the war in a passive situation, turned Japan from strategic defense to attack, and was no longer restrained by Japan, freeing up its forces to enter Europe to fight, speeding up the process of the European battlefield, and speeding up the overall end of World War II! Just imagine, if Japan wins the battle of Midway, then San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle on the west coast of the United States will be exposed to Japanese firepower, and there is a high probability that the west coast of the United States will fall. If so, let alone when World War II will end, the entire world process will not be what it is today. . . The pilots of the U.S. military, who regard death as their fate, have used their flesh and blood to carry out fearless dive bombing to block the viral spread of the evil forces. . . ! ! !
