Although the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a major victory, the American aircraft carrier was not in port at the time, so not a single one was damaged。Japan decided to once again concentrate its superior forces and completely destroy the American aircraft carriers. In order to realize this plan, we must first win the important US Air Force base Midway, located in the northeast of the Hawaiian Islands, and use it as a Japanese base of operations.
The Japanese Navy, which attacked Midway, was still led by Admiral Yamamoto, the 56th Admiral who planned to attack Pearl Harbor. The fleet was divided into eight task forces: the first, commanded by Vice Admiral Nagumo, was concentrated on Midway from the northwest.
The second to seventh are responsible for cover, reconnaissance and warning tasks, as well as coordinating offensive operations. Isoroku Yamamoto personally led the 8th Task Force and waited to direct the entire operation on the northwest coast of Midway.
The Japanese Navy never dreamed that their sneak attack would not be successful, and American intelligence agencies not only deciphered the Japanese telegram, but also made it clear that the target of the AE in the encrypted telegram was Midway. The United States has decided to abandon its plans and conduct an ambush in order to bring the Japanese Navy to a stalemate. On June 4, in the dawn of dawn, the Japanese fleet, hiding in the predetermined sea area, began to attack.
He ordered all the fleets to be preoccupied with him, and the conspiracy lured the American fleet westward into the fierce firing range of its fleet. But the Americans saw Yamamoto's trick. At noon on June 4, Japan survived only the aircraft carrier Flying Dragon.
Under the cover of six Zero fighters, 18 bombers on board the Wyvern severely damaged the American aircraft carrier USS Yorkton, which slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
The Wyvern became a fierce target for the American fleet, and although it managed to escape 26 torpedoes and about 70 bombs, it was eventually sunk by the Japanese fleet's own torpedoes and sunk into the fire。In the early morning of the 5th, the Japanese fleet heard Yamamoto's order to cancel the midway operation. In the Battle of Midway, the US lost only 1 aircraft carrier, 1 destroyer and 147 aircraft, while the Japanese lost 4 aircraft carriers, 1 cruiser, 330 aircraft, as well as hundreds of experienced pilots and thousands of crews.
After that, the Japanese Navy was defeated. To cover up its failures and avoid dampening morale, Japan Radio released a resounding naval song on June 10, claiming that Japan had become the most powerful country in the Pacific.

Tactically speaking, Germany's successive victories at the beginning of the war had a great deal to do with its own adequate preparations for war, while the United States, Britain, France, and other countries were not well prepared for war, and adopted a policy of appeasement after the war began. It is difficult to say whether the war would have developed into what it would have been if Britain and France had been able to come to the aid of Poland in accordance with the treaty when the Germans invaded Poland. >>>More
