Chapter 1457 Risk of Death Report

In this day and age, radios are still a rarity, not even in the military, let alone civilians. There is a radio for civilian use, which is the enjoyment of the middle class.

The fishermen who go out to fish are the poorest, but they are still patriotic.

"Quick, quick, go back, be sure to report this news to the headquarters." It was the father and son who operated the fishing boat. The father looked old, with white hair on his head, and his back began to hunch. The sun had tanned his skin, but his eyes were still bright.

The son is very young, and he seems to be less than fifteen years old. At such a young age, he has already drifted on the sea with his father. At this time, the son drove the diesel engine at the rear to the maximum. In the rumbling sound, the fishing boat was heading towards the middle. in the direction of the island.

Fishing boats are for civilian use. This kind of boat can do many things. In later generations, fishing boats will follow a country's warships to fish for sonar buoys.

Now, fishing boats are the eyes of the navy. They are much easier to use than reconnaissance planes, because they spread over a wide area, and even if it is a coincidence, it will create countless coincidences.

Unfortunately, they have been seen by the islanders.

When the fishing boat was discovered, Vice Admiral Kondo Nobutake immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately said, "Eject the seaplane!"

In this era, as long as it is a heavy warship, it is equipped with seaplanes with buoys, which can play a lot of roles, such as reconnaissance, artillery school shooting, and now handling fishing boats.

Soon, an Air Tech Factory E14Y Zero small water reconnaissance plane ejected from the side of the cruiser and flew towards the target quickly.

Although it is also called Type Zero, it has nothing to do with the famous Type Zero fighter. It should be clear to those who are familiar with the naming of weapons in the island country. It is named according to their era.

This is a three-seat reconnaissance aircraft. The fuselage and wings are made of aluminum alloy and the wing ends are made of wood. The wings can be folded to save storage space in the ship. At this time, after the ejection takes off, the cover of the cabin is closed It was opened, and they flew quickly towards the fishing boat in the distance.

The man in the middle picked up a loudspeaker in his hand and shouted to the following in unskilled English: "The fishing boat in front listen, please stop immediately, wait on the water, please stop immediately!"

They didn't dare to make too much noise. Now it's too close to Midway Island. If they shoot it down, it will definitely be discovered by Midway Island. They can only solve it in this peaceful way.

If the fishing boat below is obedient.

"Dad, are we going to stop?" the son asked.

"No, let's move on and ignore them," said the father.

Keep going!

The reconnaissance plane circled the fishing boat twice, shouting continuously, and there was no sign of the fishing boat stopping. Finally, the machine gunner in the back seat couldn't help it.

He pushed the machine gun behind him and fired a three-point shot toward the sea: "Da da da."

The bullet hit the water, splashing a water column more than one meter high, accompanied by the sound of chirp, this is the last warning.

"Continue to drive!" At this time, the father still did not give up.

The fishing boat is still going.

"Da da da..." This time, the machine gunner's bullets shot along the side of the ship, from the front to the back, hitting the ship with sawdust flying around. We couldn't wait any longer, we had to kill them!

In the open sea, the sound of machine guns can be transmitted three kilometers away. If they are allowed to continue to move in the direction of Midway Island, maybe Midway Island can hear their gunshots!

The father fell down, and a big hole appeared in his chest. Just when the other party's bullet came, he suddenly pushed his son into the water, and he himself was shot by the roaring machine gun bullet. .

At this distance, his son can swim back, and he himself has to move on!

His hand firmly controlled the rudder, the fishing boat continued to move tenaciously towards Midway Island, his other hand blocked the hole in his chest, his blood kept flowing, and his eyes kept on Vague.

Finally, his eyes were pitch black, he lost all consciousness, this fishing boat was still heading towards Midway Island!

"Da da da." The machine gunner in the back seat fired again. This time, the engine behind it exploded. On the sea, the ship suddenly burst into a splendid flame.

"Matsuda, you idiot, you screwed up!" the pilot in front couldn't help cursing.

The fishing boat was on fire on the sea, and now it is about to get dark. The fire will reveal its traces, and if the people on the island see it, they will notice that there is a problem.

Midway.

It consists of Sand Island, East Island, and Spit Island. At this time, on Sand Island, the Henderson Field established by the U.S. Navy, a flight runway that runs through almost the entire island, looks very clear.

Midway Island is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is the alternate landing site for many intercontinental passenger planes. Once the plane has an accident, it can land here. The current role of this airport is still military.

It's just that there are not many planes in the base now. Most of the planes have been transferred to the Aleutian Islands to participate in the war there. There is only one squadron of water reconnaissance aircraft, and the other personnel of the base, the total number is less than 800.

In the distance of the runway, on the top of a hill, a large radar station is working, and countless electromagnetic waves fill the sky. Once it finds a situation, it will send an alarm for the first time, and it will be transmitted to Hawaii through the submarine cable. Washington, to the White House.

The radar of this era has many limitations. It can only detect aircraft above a certain height. Therefore, the carrier-based seaplane ejected by the island nation's navy has not been observed at all.

Another boring day, a radar soldier walked out of the radar station and looked outside. Suddenly, his eyes widened. On the sea in the distance, a fire appeared!

Night has come, what is that fire?

"Damn, what is that? Quick, report it to the superior!" shouted the radar soldier, who rushed back to the radar station and grabbed the phone on the table.

At first, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, the vigilance of the US military was very low. Even if the radar detected the plane, they thought it was their own. Now, with the beginning of the brutal Pacific War, they have been thoroughly vigilant. Woke up.

This situation is unusual, this fire means situation!

"Assemble, the army on the entire island, immediately raise your alert!" Colonel Lord, the commander of Midway Island, shouted, he put on his military uniform, carried a pistol, and wanted to go out to check the combat readiness.
