Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

And then...

After leaving Barbers Point

Beach, we can see Ford Island.

We headed for the battleships that were parked idily,

And the Special Attack Unit from the Navy

Air Service launched the admirable attack!

Sending torpedoes one after another.

Boom!

Really! We saw USS Arizona exploding!

And fumes of black smoke rose up!

Just like a volcano!

Master Sergeant Miyabe!

It's you Izaki.

Why are you pulling such a long face?

Are you not happy?

There were no carriers in sight.

I think the battle today is a failure

if we failed to attack the carriers.

On top of that, there were also 29

planes that did not make it back.

Today...

I saw a bomber that dived into the sea.

In that instant, 3 lives were lost.

It is scary.

I do not wish to die.

What are you saying!

At that moment, I was very

disgusted with the words "I

do not wish to die" that

Platoon Sergeant had said.

And what Platoon Sergeant had been worrying about,

The fact that we did not sink any carriers,

Took a terrible turn on the

following year on 5th of June.

We were hit by their sudden attack.

That was the Battle of the Midway.

Heave-ho!

Haven't they found the enemy's carrier yet?

Could they have ran away in fear of us?

Look at the bombers.

The torpedoes are useless in this situation.

They decided that there wouldn't

be carriers in the sky.

Enemy battle fleet sighted.

Change all land use bombs for torpedoes.

We just finished dismounting!

They are too willful!

Didn't you hear that?!

Return the torpedoes once more! On the double!

Understood!

There is no time to be doing this!

If the carrier is sighted we have to go immediately!

But if we are using land use bombs, we

will not be able to sink the carrier!

It doesn't matter if we can't sink them.

We just have got to attack first!

But if that is the case, we should just

aim to sink them right from the start.

If that is the case, why change

the torpedoes to land use bombs?!

If our aim is the carriers,

The torpedoes should have

been left as it is and

wait for the announcement

for spotting the carriers.

If we were to be attacked, we will be helpless!

Combat air patrol pilots, to the deck immediately!

Good luck!

I'm off!

Yes! They hit it!

It is falling!

Yes!

Starboard!

Yes!

Good job!

Hey! Enemy aircraft descending from above!

Evacuate! Evacuate!

A decoy?!

That is what I saw of the Battle of Midway.

Having lost our carrier, we made

emergency landing on the sea.

We were later taken in by the destroyers' cutters.

Dad, let's stop around here.

Yes, you need a rest...

No, I still have things I need to say.

In the summer of 1942.

We returned once to the main land,
