在大多数情况下，他们没有机会抗击日军 for the most part they didn't stand a chance against the Japanese in their zeroes
毕竟日本飞行员是最有经验和最好的 after all the Japanese pilots were among the most experienced and best
世界训练有素的海军飞行员 trained naval aviators in the world
几乎每隔几分钟 after only a few minutes nearly every
一架从中途岛起飞的美国战斗机被击落入海 single American fighter that had taken off from Midway had been shot down into the ocean
日本人在早上6:34到达中途岛，开始进攻飞机场 at 6:34 a.m. the Japanese arrived over Midway and began attacking the airfield
美国人勇敢地反击，但他们的岛屿基地被摧毁了 the Americans fought back bravely but their island base was shattered
但是尽管造成了破坏 but despite the destruction they'd inflicted
日本人意识到他们的真正目标失踪了 the Japanese realize that their real targets were missing
美国轰炸机不在 American bombers weren't there
在几分钟之内，美国轰炸机的消息 within minutes the news that the American bombers
没有被中途岛的袭击摧毁 had not been destroyed on the ground by the attack on Midway
Nagumo在他的旗舰Akagi号航母上到达 reached by side Nagumo on his flagship the carrier Akagi
但是他没多久就等着他们去哪里了 but he didn't have long to wait to find out where they've gone
他们现在就在他的舰队上方，开始进攻 they were now directly above his carrier fleet and beginning their attack
当美国轰炸机投入行动时 as the American bombers dived into action
他们被日本零打 they were pounced on by Japanese zeroes
许多美国人被击落 many of the Americans were shot down the
休息转回中途 rest turned back for Midway
他们的炸弹或鱼雷中没有一个达到目标 not one of their bombs or torpedoes had hit its mark
古姆车队这次逃脱了 the goomers fleet had escaped this time
但他知道幸存的美国轰炸机仍然是一个威胁 but he knew the surviving American bombers was still a threat
他们可以在中途加油并返回进攻 they could refuel on Midway and return to attack
他，当他们降落在岛上时，他必须摧毁他们 him he had to destroy them when they landed on the island
在他们的航母上，他们仍然拥有储备飞机，麻烦是他们使用了错误的武器 on his carriers the gumo still had reserve aircraft the trouble was they had the wrong weapons
他们武装有反舰武器，以防美国海军出现 they were armed with anti-ship weapons in case the US Navy showed up
但是他们仍然不知道周围是否有美国船只 but the gumo was still unaware there were any American ships around
所以他觉得用陆上炸弹取代这些反舰武器来袭击中途岛是安全的 so he felt safe replacing these anti-ship weapons with land bombs to attack Midway
日本航母的甲板和飞机机库下面 below decks and the aircraft storage hangars of the Japanese carriers new orders rang out
船员们迅速着手准备撤出后备队的反舰武器 the crews quickly set to work removing the anti-ship weapons on the reserve
飞机并用炸弹替换它们以对中途岛进行地面攻击 planes and replacing them with bombs for a ground attack on Midway
而他的士兵们在下面的机库甲板上疯狂地工作 while his men worked furiously on the hangar decks below
桥上的Nagumo突然面临真正的危机 Nagumo on the bridge was suddenly confronted with a real crisis
这次他从一架侦察机收到了另一条消息 he received another message this time from one of his Scout planes
是否发现中途岛东北部有10艘美国船只 is it spotted what appeared to be 10 American ships northeast of Midway
这消息使人震惊 the news came as a stunning shock
警察已经确定该地区不会有美国船只 the gumo had been sure there would be no American ships in the area
令人眼花loud乱的是，很明显，事情并没有像日本人计划的那样进行 it was loud blindingly obvious that things were not going as the Japanese at plan
Nagumo立即暂停了对Midway的计划第二次罢工 Nagumo immediately suspended the plans second strike on Midway
他现在不得不应对来自美国战舰的威胁 he now had to deal with the threat from the American ships
他命令他的士兵将反舰武器重新装到后备飞机上 he ordered his men to reattach the anti-ship weapons onto the reserve planes
然后他直接向侦察机发送了一条消息，要求提供更多信息 and he sent a message straight back to his Scout plane demanding more information
如果美国的船只是航母，那么他们可能会遇到麻烦 if the American ships were carriers the gumo could be in real trouble
美国船只当然是航母 the American ships were of course carriers
那天早上他们找到了日本舰队 and earlier that morning they had found the Japanese fleet
在美国船只上的准备工作正在加快步伐 on board the American ships preparations were gathering pace
承运人的大黄蜂和企业正准备发射飞机 the carrier's Hornet and enterprise were readying to launch their aircraft
这两艘船的指挥官是雷蒙德·斯潘鲁斯少将和 in command of these two ships was Rear Admiral Raymond Spruance and
现在他有一个重要的决定 now he had a critical decision to make
云杉他的携带者位于浸信会那里距离中途岛约200英里的地方 Spruance his carriers were located about 200 miles away from Midway here on the baptists
约克镇距离自己还有一点距离 Yorktown was a little way off on its own
美国侦察机曾向日本战舰报告过 us Scout planes had reported the Japanese carriers about a
离Spruance 155英里 hundred and fifty five miles away from Spruance his position
日本战舰距他的某些飞机很近 the Japanese ships we're within striking distance of some of his aircraft
但其他人几乎无法携带足够的燃料到达那里并返回 but others could barely carry enough fuel to get there and back that
对于导航错误，如果他们有更多的回旋余地，并且 be little leeway for them to maneuver even less for navigational errors and if
他们用尽了燃料，唯一的去处就是倒空的废物。 they run out of fuel the only place to go would be into the empty wastes of the
太平洋地区，但Spruance认为关键问题是时间 Pacific but Spruance decided that the critical issue was time
在他们发现并歼灭他的船只之前，他不得不击中了日本舰队 he had to hit the Japanese fleet before they discovered and annihilated his ships
他不能浪费时间将承运人拉近 he couldn't waste time moving his carriers any closer
给予敌人更好的机会 to the enemy to give his planes a better chance
所以它是历史上最伟大的海军赌博之一 so it was one of the greatest naval Gamble's in history
Spruance在一次Bastet攻击中命令所有飞机飞向空中 Spruance ordered all his aircraft into the air in one Bastet attack
在美国航母上，飞行员做了最后的准备 on board the American carriers pilots made their final preparations
许多人特别是在大黄蜂上很紧张 many were nervous especially on the Hornet
黄蜂鱼雷中队从未参加过战斗 the Hornets torpedo squadron had never gone into battle
他们中的任何一个从来没有用鱼雷或泡菜从航母上起飞 any of them had never taken off from a carrier with a torpedo or a pickle as
他们称它落在他们下面 they called it slung below them
有些人以前从未见过 some had never even seen it done before
当他们走向飞机时 as they walked out towards their planes
飞行员一定有那个中队长的话还在耳边响起 the pilots must have had the words of that Squadron Leader still ringing in their ears
他告诉他们，我希望我们每个人尽最大的努力消灭我们的敌人 he had told them I want each one of us to do his utmost to destroy our enemies
如果只剩下一架飞机进行最后的磨合 if there's only one plane left to make the final run-in
我希望那个男人进去并受到打击 I want that man to go in and get a hit
愿上帝与我们同在，祝大家好运，降落在地狱 may God be with us all good luck happy landings and give them hell
在完成对飞机及其炸弹的检查之后，我爬进了驾驶舱 after completing an inspection of the aircraft and it's bomb I climbed into the cockpit
当我坐在那里等待信号启动引擎时 and as I sat there waiting for the signal to start engines
我突然有了和蝴蝶一样的恐惧感 I suddenly got the same feeling of apprehension and butterflies
在高中比赛开始前的肚子里 in the stomach that I got before the start of competition in high school
上午7:00开始发射 at 7:00 a.m. the launch began
美国空中舰队的飞行员几乎没有战斗经验 pilots of the American air Armada set off with little battle experience
战斗机保护范围有限，没有错误余地 limited fighter cover and no margin for error
他们成群结队地穿越广阔的海洋 they were setting out across a vast stretch of ocean in small groups
面对致命而经验丰富的敌人 towards a deadly and experienced enemy
如果事情对美国人来说pre可危 if things were looking precarious for the Americans
回到Nagumo的运输车辆事件开始失控 back on Nagumo's carrier vehicle events were beginning to get out of hand
古默拼命地等待着侦察机告诉他什么 the Gumo had been desperately waiting for his Scout plane to tell him what
会发现的那种美国船 kind of American ships it'll spotted
现在它给了他答案 now it gave him its answer
敌人是一个由后方提起后方的连队 the enemy is a company by what appears to be a carrier bringing up the rear
这对Nagumo而言是巨大的打击 it was a staggering blow to Nagumo
他没想到会很快有美国航母进入该地区 he's never expected an American carrier to be in the area so soon
它的存在现在危害了他的整个操作 its presence now jeopardized his entire operation
上师知道他别无选择，他必须发射一艘打击美军的航母 the Guru knew he had no option he had to launch a strike up American carrier
但是这种认识不可能在更糟糕的时候来 but this realization couldn't have come at a worse time
这些是这里的日本航母 these are the Japanese carriers here
就在此刻，macGruber听到了关于这家遥远的美国航母的消息 just at the moment macGruber was hearing about the distant American carrier
他的中途攻击机开始返回 his Midway attack aircraft began to return
他们燃料不足，需要迅速降落 they were low on fuel and they needed to land quickly
在他们之上，他的战斗机也急于降落 up above them his fighter planes were also anxious to land
grooc船现在面临一个至关重要的决定，该决定可能在即将到来的战斗中胜负 the grooc boat now faced a critical decision which could win or lose him the coming battle
他还有他的备用飞机坐在他的运输车上 he still had his reserve planes sitting on his carriers
但并非所有人都装有反舰武器 but not all of them were loaded with the anti-ship weapons
他现在需要攻击美国舰队 he now needed to attack the American fleet
他可以选择立即进行有限的罢工 he could choose to launch an immediate limited strike with the few reserved plans of already
在他的中途攻击机降落之前 before his Midway attack aircraft landed
或者，他可以推迟向中途进攻的部队发射土地，然后发射所有他的 alternatively he could delay launching land the circling midway attack force and then launched all his
到那时将配备反舰武器的预备飞机 reserve planes which by then would be fully armed with anti-ship weapons it
这将是一个很大的风险，需要一个小时左右，但最终 would be a big risk it would take an hour or so but at the end
他将能够发动一次巨大的进攻，以确保他们能够摧毁美国人的脚， of it he'd be able to launch one huge attack sure they'll destroy the American feet and
那就是他决定要做的 that is what he decided to do
他会降落中途进攻部队并等待 he would land his Midway attack force and wait
直到他所有的后备飞机都重新装好 until all his reserve planes were rearmed
说他可以送出致命一击 said that he could deliver the killer blow
但是纳古默的计划已经不对劲了 but Nagumo's plan was already going awry
新郎哦，他决定将飞机推迟发射直到他们已经 the groom Oh had based his decision to postpone launching his planes until they were already
然后他从侦察兵那里得到的信息 on information he'd received from his Scout then
他自己的舰队在这里，是侦察机的报告，但美国船在这里 his own fleet was here the report from the Scout plane but the American ships here
在这样的距离之外，纳古默知道他的航母不在美国飞机的控制范围内 at this distance Nagumo knew his carriers were out of reach of the American planes
问题是Nagumo的侦察机错了 the problem was Nagumo's Scout plane was wrong
美国舰队实际上是在这里 the American fleet was actually here their planes within range
这些炸弹轰炸机的美国轰炸机已经不知所措了 and unknown to the guvo American bombers from these ships were already on their way towards him
上午9:20，美国经验丰富的机组人员在美国鱼雷炸弹中发现了日本航母 at 9:20 a.m. Japanese carriers were spotted by the inexperienced aircrew in the American torpedo bombs
尽管训练有限，他们别无选择，只能进攻 despite their limited training they had no choice but to attack
美国飞行员勇敢地向航母前进 the American pilots bravely held their course towards the carriers
他们弯腰低腰祈祷他们会成功 they hunched low and prayed they'd make it
通过暴风雨和来自舰艇的防空火 through the storm and anti-aircraft fire coming from the ships
当他们向日本战舰咆哮时 as they roar down towards the Japanese carriers
他们被一包巡逻的零击中 they were pounced on by a pack of patrolling zeros
笨拙的美国飞机无法与敏捷零点匹敌 the lumbering American planes were no match for the agile zeros
41架鱼雷轰炸机中有35架被击落在日本舰队上方 35 of the 41 torpedo bombers were shot down above the Japanese fleet
他们大多数甚至没有释放鱼雷 most of them without even releasing their torpedoes
那些错过袭击的人是一场灾难 those that did missed the attack had been a disaster
他们没有打一击 they failed to score a single hit
Nagumo几乎准备好采取行动 Nagumo was almost ready to make his move his
甲板人员一直在努力重整飞机并为其加油 deck crews have been working hard to rearm and refuel his planes
如果可以迅速启动 if they could be launched quickly
日本人一定会赢得中途之战 the Japanese would surely win the Battle of Midway
上午10:21，古马尔和他的士兵们还没有准备好发射飞机 at 10:21 a.m. the goomar and his men was still not quite ready to launch their planes
正是在那一刻，美国跳水 and precisely that moment American dive
像这样的轰炸机出现在日本战舰上方 bombers like this one appeared high above the Japanese carriers
他们的炸弹运行很清楚 and their bomb run was clear
他们应该对付的日本战机 the Japanese fighters they should have dealt with them have
被派去攻击美国鱼雷飞机 been drawn off to attack the American torpedo planes
没有什么可以阻止这些潜水轰炸机 there was nothing to stop these dive bombers
当他们开始朝日本航母的甲板尖叫时 as they began screaming down towards the decks of the Japanese carriers
监视尖叫着地狱潜水者 a lookout screamed Helldivers
我抬头看到三架黑色敌机向我们的船坠落 I looked up to see three black enemy planes plummeting toward our ship
我们的一些机枪成功地发射了几发 some of our machineguns managed to fire a few frantic bursts of them
但为时已晚 but it was too late
现在没有停止美国人 there was no stopping the Americans now
炸弹四枚炸弹被炸毁 four bombs ripped into the carrier kaga
另一个通过蛋糕打击了Nagumo的旗舰店 as another struck Nagumo's flagship via cake
但是即使在轰炸机轰炸加加和卡吉 but even as the dive-bombers were attacking the kaga and the Kagi
另一批来自约克魅力的美国飞机抵达 another group of American planes these from the York charm arrived
从完全不同的方向 from a quite different direction
日本战士已经因第一次袭击而过度紧张 the Japanese fighters already overstretched by the first attacks
不知道该转向哪条路 didn't know which way to turn
瞬间，这些新鲜的美国轰炸机 within moments these fresh American bombers
跳入第三艘日本航母“ soryu”号 dived on a third Japanese carrier the soryu
他们向她猛击了三枚炸弹 they slammed three bombs into her
美国人投下的炸弹相对较少 relatively few bombs have been dropped by the Americans
但他们的影响是毁灭性的 but their impact was devastating

在不到五分钟的时间里，美国人袭击了 in little more than five minutes the Americans had struck
三倍进入日本帝国海军的心脏 three times into the heart of the Imperial Japanese Navy
在最大脆弱性的时刻 at its moment of maximum vulnerability
但是对于日本人来说，这一切并没有丢失 but all that's not lost for the Japanese
第四艘日本航母“广裕”未动 the fourth Japanese carrier the Hiryu was untouched
现在这架幸存的日本航母中有18架俯冲轰炸机和6个零 and now 18 dive bombers and six zeros from this one surviving Japanese carrier
被派去搜查并摧毁美国船只 were sent to search out and destroy the American ships
他们是Nagumo巨大力量的最后残余者之一 they were amongst the last remnants of Nagumo's huge force
但是这几个日本飞行员是致命的专业人员，不太可能 but these few Japanese pilots were deadly professionals unlikely to

中途之战现在以最后的破坏行动结束 the Battle of Midway was now to end with one final act of destruction
日本人认为他们会击沉三艘美国航母中的两艘 the Japanese believe they'd sunk two of the three US carriers
他们没有意识到他们曾两次击中约克镇 they didn't realize they'd hit the Yorktown twice
他们现在以为他们正在与美国人平等战斗 they now thought as they were fighting on equal terms with the Americans
每个只有一个幸存的航母 with just one surviving carrier each
基于这种误解 based on this misapprehension

所以现在以为只剩下一艘美国航母沉没了 so now that it was thought there was only one remaining American aircraft carrier left to sink
这些人被告知他们有时间休息并吃点东西 the men were told they had time to take a rest and grab a bite to eat
这是最终的致命错误估计 it was a final fatal miscalculation
事情并没有那么轻松，而是通过美国航母 things were not nearly so relaxed aboard but through American carriers
