In order to more truly and comprehensively restore the historical details of the Battle of Midway, the production team spent 15 years collecting and researching historical image data. The story of
begins with the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, focusing on the entire process of the Battle of Midway Island. The two big figures of Japan and the United States who commanded this battle are the Japanese Imperial Navy Admiral Yamamoto 56 and the U.S. Navy five-star Admiral Chester William Nimitz. The strong dialogue between these two figures is a movie story. Core.
Yamamoto Fifty-Six and Nimitz are good brothers of the "Ji Sheng Yu He Sheng Liang". Both
are similar in age and have similar growth experiences, and both were caught up in the torrent of World War II. If Yamamoto Fifty-Six is a strategist Zhou Gongjin, then Nimitz is Zhuge Kongming, who is brilliant and cleverly calculated. The two reinforce each other and can be regarded as enemies for life.
Yamamoto 56 was born on April 4, 1884 in a poor family in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. He worked hard since he was a child and was admitted to the Etajima Naval Academy at the age of 17 in 1901. After graduation, he joined the Japanese Navy.
, because of its gambler psychology and bold and bold spirit of adventurous fit with the ruling philosophy of the Japanese government after Meiji, Yamamoto got a chance to rise. During his tenure as the head of naval aviation and deputy navy officer, he vigorously developed aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, and strictly trained his troops, which enabled the rapid development of the Japanese naval aviation.
In 1939, Yamamoto Fifty-Six was appointed as the commander of the Japanese joint fleet. In order to combat the morale of the American military and civilians and eliminate the main force of the US Navy in the Pacific, he decided to target the US Navy’s base in Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. A sneak attack. This military incident became the fuse for the outbreak of the Pacific War, and it also prompted the replacement of Admiral Husband Edward Kimmel, then commander in chief of the US Pacific Fleet, by Chester William Nimitz.
Nimitz is Yamamoto Fifty-Six's lifelong enemy and his nemesis.
Nimitz, born on February 24, 1885, was less than one year old from Yamamoto. Nimitz was born in an immigrant family in Fredericksburg, Texas. His father died before he was born. He was raised by his grandfather Charles and his mother Anna Hank.
In order to reduce the burden on his family and realize his ideals of life while receiving free university education, Nimitz worked hard while studying and was finally admitted to the US Naval Academy and served in the Navy after graduation. While serving as the captain of the submarine Diver, he focused on researching submarines and became an expert in diesel engine technology in the US military. After the Pearl Harbor incident, Nimitz was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Fleet. In order to save face, he planned an air raid on the Japanese capital Tokyo on April 18, 1942. This move shocked the Japanese ruling and opposition parties, and Yamamoto Ichigo repeatedly pleaded guilty.
Yamamoto Fifty-Six then launched another attack on Midway Island in order to further destroy the US fleet and consolidate the Japanese Navy’s territory on the Pacific Island chain. However, Nimitz is far-sighted and has already judged that Midway Island will become a combat target of the Japanese army, and intelligence agencies have deciphered the combat plan of the Japanese joint fleet. The US military has already made full preparations.
The Japanese army came out, using 4 aircraft carriers, 7 ships of various types, and 264 aircrafts, but they were defeated. 4 aircraft carriers and 1 heavy cruiser were sunk, and the military aircraft was almost wiped out, including 110 flying. 3057 people including personnel were killed in action. After the battle, the Japanese and US navies fell into a war of attrition that lasted for six months on Guadalcanal, and the Japanese army was finally exhausted.
Yamamoto Fifty-Six was ambushed by the US army while inspecting the army on April 18, 1943, and died in a plane crash north of Buin Island.
It is said that Nimitz has a real sympathy for Yamamoto 56.After getting the information, he was not going to ambush Yamamoto, but President Roosevelt ordered him personally, and he had no choice but to comply. Contrary to Yamamoto's fate, Nimitz became a national hero after the war and was loved by people all over the world. In the
movie, Japanese actor Toyokawa Etsuji plays Yamamoto Fifty Six and Woody Harrison plays Nimitz. This old enemy reappeared on the screen after 77 years, giving us the opportunity to witness their life legend.
