Six months after the Pearl Harbor incident, the Japanese army gained the upper hand in the early stage of the most tragic and bloody Pacific War during World War II. In April 1941, the US military, led by Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, carried out the first successful air raid against the harbors and military facilities of major Japanese cities such as Tokyo, which really boosted the morale of the US led allies, but it was still at a disadvantage.
In the face of the axis powers that almost controlled the whole Asia Pacific region, the Japanese army continued to approach and the Pacific Fleet retreated. However, the U.S. military stationed on Midway fought back bravely, and finally the U.S. military fleet won the battle of Midway, so as to reverse the disadvantage of the Pacific War.

One of the five highlights of the war film "decisive battle midway", how the U.S. military took a major turning point in the Pacific War in World War II.
After the Pearl Harbor incident, the US military's Pearl Harbor secret message decipherers have been more unremitting in intercepting Japanese passwords and messages. In March 1942, he cracked the difficult Japanese "jn-45" password and realized in advance that the Japanese army had locked Midway Island and was about to launch another wave of major attacks. If Midway Island is obtained, Japan will be able to establish a stronghold between Pearl Harbor and Japan, and Hawaii is close at hand.

In the war film "decisive battle on midway", which is set in the key battle of midway in the Pacific War of World War II, Japanese actor Yoshiyuki FengChuan plays the commander-in-chief of the Japanese joint fleet Yamamoto.
On June 4, 1942, the Japanese fleet sent fighters and bombers to attack Midway Island. At the same time, the U.S. military ambushed three aircraft carriers, enterprise, hornet and Yorktown. When the Japanese army concentrated its fire on Midway Island, the U.S. hybrid fleet took advantage of the gap to attack the Japanese carrier, including torpedo bombers.
The only task of these TBD destroyers is to throw torpedoes at Japanese ships and sink them. However, it is well known that these aircraft also fly low and slow because of carrying torpedoes. The enemy can easily shoot them down, while pilots and shooters are very easy targets to be locked. According to the record, only 6 of the 41 TBDS that attacked successfully returned.
In addition to sending TBD, the U.S. military also took over the follow-up combat power with dive bombers and successively attacked the Japanese ships. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses overnight. The battle between the U.S. Yorktown and the Japanese Feilong was also damaged. After this battle, the Japanese Navy lost its important aircraft carrier combat power, and the U.S. military gained strategic leadership in less than half a year after the Pearl Harbor incident, And reversed the direction of the next war.
