Ankawopa moyenerera kuti kuukira kwakukulu kwa mdani kudzachitika m'masiku akudza, kotero kuti amayenera kuzindikira zonyamulira ndege za ku Japan asanayambe kuyambiranso. Kuphatikiza pa ma Catalines angapo, oponya mabomba ankhondo adatumizidwanso kukayendera usiku. Monga momwe antchito awo amakumbukira, nyengo yakupha inalamulira Alaska ndi Aleutian Islands usiku umenewo. Awiri a Catalinas, oyendetsedwa ndi Navy Second Lieutenants Gene Cusick ndi Eugene Stockstone, omwe sanasonyeze zizindikiro za moyo ndipo amaonedwa kuti atayika pamodzi ndi antchito awo, sanapulumuke ndimeyi yodutsa mkuntho.

Mzere wotayikawo unasweka ndi bwato lowuluka loyendetsedwa ndi wonyamula mbendera Marshall K. Frirks. Pa 6:50 anali atakhala mlengalenga kwa maola asanu ndi atatu ndipo adatuluka mumkuntho popanda zovuta zazikulu. Paulendo wobwerera pafupifupi makilomita 160 kum'mwera chakumadzulo kwa Umnak, chophimba cha radar cha ASV chinakhudzana ndi chinthu chosadziwika pamwamba pa madzi. A Frears ankadziwa kuti sichingakhale chilumba kapena sitima yapamadzi yaku America, choncho adaganiza zotsitsa mtunda ndikuwunika malowo. Chodabwitsa chake, adathamangira molunjika mu 2 Kido Butai, koma mayunitsi aku Japan sanamupeze.
Sitima yapamadzi yaku Northwestern yomwe ikusuta itagundidwa ndi bomba lamlengalenga.
Anthu aku America adatumiza mwachangu uthenga kumunsi za chonyamulira ndege chimodzi ndi owononga awiri okhala ndi ma 50 ° 07'N 171 ° 14'W, akuyenda motsatira 150 °. Atatsimikizira kuti uthengawo walandiridwa, Catalina adayenera kuyang'ana maso ndi gulu la Japan. Pasanathe ola limodzi, Frirks adalamulidwa kuti abwerere ndi Patrol Wing Command. Komabe, asanachoke mdani, American anaganiza kuyesa mwayi wake ndi bomba mmodzi wa zombo Japanese. Kulowa kwake sikunapambane konse, ndipo iye mwiniyo adataya imodzi mwa injini kuchokera kumoto wotsutsana ndi ndege.
Pambuyo pa 2nd Kido Butai Frirks Frirks Catalina adayenera kumasulidwa, akuyendetsedwa ndi Navy Lieutenant Charles E. Perkins, yemwe adachoka ku Dutch Harbor. Panthawiyi, bwato lowuluka linali ndi torpedo imodzi ndi mabomba awiri a 227 kg ngati akanakhala ndi mwayi wopita kutali ndi adani. Cha m'ma 11:00, Perkins adafufuza gulu la ku Japan ndipo adanena kuti awona chonyamulira ndege imodzi, maulendo awiri olemetsa 215 ° 165 mailosi kuchokera ku Dutch Harbor, pamtunda wa 360 °. Catalina anali kutsatira 2 Kido Butai mpaka mabomba a Allied atafika. Komabe, kuchedwa kufalitsa kwa radiograph kumatanthauza kuti ma B-26A onse khumi ndi awiri ochokera ku Cold Bay ndi Umnak adanyamuka mochedwa kuposa ola limodzi.
Monga Fryrky, Perkins ankafunanso kuyesa mwayi wake ndikumenyana ndi Catalina motsutsana ndi Junyo. Anthu aku Japan sanawoneke odabwitsidwa ndipo adatsegula moto wotsutsana ndi ndege. Kuphulika kumodzi kunawononga injini yoyenera ya bwato lowuluka, lomwe linataya kukhazikika kwake kwakanthawi. Perkins anali ndi chisankho: pitilizani njira yodzipha kapena kusiya. Popanda kuika moyo wa ogwira ntchito pachiswe, American anagwetsa torpedo ndi mabomba onse m'madzi, pambuyo pake anasowa mumtambo wa mvula squall. Atatsimikiza kuti asilikali a ku Japan sakumuthamangitsa, anakhuthulanso mafuta m'thanki yake kuti akafike pamalo pomwe panali injini imodzi yokha.
Ma B-26A asanu ndi limodzi ochokera ku Umnak, motsogozedwa ndi Captain Owen Mils, sanathe kupeza zonyamulira za ku Japan potengera zidziwitso zamatelegalamu omwe analipo kale. Palibe woponya mabomba yemwe anali ndi radar, ndipo Perkins 'Catalina anali akubwerera kale. Nyengo yosinthika idadzipangitsanso kumva. Mvula yamvula komanso chifunga chokhuthala chinapangitsa kuti zikhale zovuta kufufuza ndi zida zowunikira. Njira yokhayo yotetezeka inali kukhala pamwamba pa mitambo, koma pansi pazimenezi, kupeza zombo pamwamba pa madzi kunali kozizwitsa. Maminitsi otsatira anadutsa ndipo Mils sanachitire mwina koma kusankha kubwerera.
Ulendo woponya mabomba ku Cold Bay unali wochititsa chidwi kwambiri. Zisanu ndi chimodzi. B-26A motsogozedwa ndi Mtsamunda William wofunitsitsa
Bambo Irekson anali ndi zida za torpedoes polamulidwa ndi asilikali apanyanja. Gululo litanyamuka, gululo lidapita kudera lomwe Perkins adawonetsa, koma apanso, chifunga chakuda chakuda chinadzipangitsa kumva. Ndege za ku America zinasiya kuyang'anana wina ndi mzake ndipo zinayenera kuonjezera kutalika kwake kuti zibwezeretse. Ngakhale kuti kukwerako kunatenga mphindi zochepa chabe, wophulitsa mabomba woyendetsedwa ndi Captain George Thornbrough anatayika m’katimo. Monga m’modzi yekha wa gululo, anaganiza zopitiriza ntchito yake ndipo anapitiriza kufufuza zonyamulira ndege za ku Japan. Tsoka ilo mwachiwonekere lidadalitsa kulimbikira kwake pomwe adapeza 2 Kido Butai.
Ndi torpedo imodzi yokha, Thornbrough adadziwa kuti uwu ndi mwayi wapadera. Mwachiwonekere analibe malo okwanira ndi nthawi yoti awononge torpedo, kotero adaganiza zothawa. Wa ku America ankayembekeza kuti panthawiyi atha kukhala ndi zida za torpedo ndikuzigwiritsa ntchito ngati bomba. Anasankha chonyamulira ndege cha Ryujo monga chandamale chake, ogwira nawo ntchito omwe adawona kuwopseza mwachangu. Zida zankhondo zolimbana ndi ndege zidagunda, koma kunali kochedwa kwambiri kuti tinyamule Zero m'mwamba kuti atseke ndege za adani. Thornbrough anatembenuka mwamphamvu ndipo adadzipeza yekha moyang'anizana ndi mbali imodzi ya chonyamulira ndegeyo. Anthu a ku Japan anali opanda thandizo monga kale, ankangodalira mfuti zawo kuti aziwombera kapena kuwononga B-26A, koma makinawo anapitirizabe kuopsa kwake. Panthawi yotsimikizika, waku America adatulutsa lever, ndipo torpedo yake idatsetserekera kumtunda wa Ryujo. Pamene iye anayandikira chandamale, m'pamenenso njira yake inasintha, ndipo pamapeto pake anagwa mamita oposa 60 kuchokera m'sitimayo, ndikukweza madzi ambiri kumbuyo kwake.
Anthu a ku Japan anapuma mosangalala. Thornbrough adakwiya kwambiri kuti mwina adaphonya mwayi wamoyo kamodzi kuti amiza chonyamulira ndege. Komabe, sakanakhululukira mdani wakeyo mosavuta. Anabwerera kumunsi kukathira mafuta, kunyamula ndege, ndikugundanso msewu. Kudutsa m’mitambo yakuda, m’malo mwa Otter Point, anatera ku Cold Bay. Pomwepo, adalemba mwatsatanetsatane za kuwukira kwake ndipo nthawi yomweyo adamva kuti oponya mabomba asanu otsala a gululo adabwerera bwino ku base4. Popanda kuyembekezera chigamulo cha lamuloli, iye ndi ogwira nawo ntchito adakwera bomba ndikuwuluka kukayang'ana Ajapani mu chifunga chakuda. Aka kanali komaliza kuwonedwa ali ndi moyo. Pakati pausiku, ndege ya Thornbrough isanakwane, ndege ya Thornbrough inawonetsa kuyesa kudutsa mitambo mpaka pansi kuchokera pamtunda wa mamita 3000. Patatha mwezi umodzi, pamphepete mwa nyanja ku Unimak, pafupifupi makilomita 26 kuchokera ku Cold Bay, 40 zowonongeka zinapezedwa ndi matupi atang'ambika mkati. Malamba apamipando. Anthu aku America adatcha njanji zomwe zili pabwalo la ndege la Cold Bay Thornbrough polemekeza ulendo wopambanawu.
Patsiku lomwelo, zonyamulira za ku Japan zidawonedwanso ndi ma B-17B, zitsanzo zakale zoyeserera zama bomba. Adapita komwe adanenedwa motsatizana ndi Freaks, Perkins, ndi Thornbrough, ndikugwiritsa ntchito radar yawo ya ASV, adapeza Team Kakuta. Mtsogoleriyo, Captain Jack L. Marks, anatsika mamita 300 okha ndipo anagwetsa mabomba asanu pa gulu la zombo zowoneka, zonse zomwe zinatsimikizira kukhala zosalondola. Panthaŵi imodzimodziyo, mapiko ake, Lieutenant Thomas F. Mansfield, anaika maso ake pa Takao. The American ankafuna kutsitsa kutalika momwe angathere ndi kugunda chandamale cha imodzi mwa mivi yolimbana ndi ndege mwachindunji. Wophulitsayo adawotcha moto ndikugwera pamwamba pamadzi, pafupi ndi gulu lomwe laphulitsidwa. Ambiri mwa ogwira nawo ntchito analibe nthawi yochoka mu ndegeyo, chifukwa nthawi yomweyo inapita pansi. Wopulumuka yekhayo adagwidwa ndi Takao6. Marx sakanatha kuthandiza abwenzi ake mwanjira iliyonse ndipo adabwerera kumunsi, kunena kuti bomba lalephera.
Nkhani yoti oponya mabomba otsatirawa agundana ndi gulu la Kakuchi idafikanso ku Otter Point, komwe Captain Mills adaganiza zopatsanso antchito ake mwayi wina atasakasaka m'mawa popanda phindu. Ma B-26A asanu ndi limodzi anali ndi zida za torpedoes ndipo adagawanika m'magulu awiri atanyamuka. Mmodzi wa iwo, motsogozedwa ndi Mils mwiniwake, adapeza onse onyamula ndege aku Japan. Ndege ziwiri zolunjika ku Ryujo ndi imodzi ku Junyo. Ngakhale kuti anthu a ku America pambuyo pake ananena kuti anatha kumira sitima yapamadzi imodzi, palibe zombo za ku Japan zomwe zinavulazidwa.
kuukira kwa torpedo.
Kakuta ankaopa kuti adani adzaukira, koma sanayembekezere kuzunzidwa ndi magulu ang'onoang'ono a mabomba kwa tsiku lonse. Zinali zosavuta kuti anthu a ku Japan apewe kuukira kamodzi kusiyana ndi machitidwe ogwirizana a mapiko onse amlengalenga omwe ali ku Aleutian Islands ndi Alaska. Ichi chinali chimodzi mwazinthu zabwino zomwe zidachitikira aku Japan pa June 4. Malinga ndi dongosolo loyambirira la opareshoni, 2 Kido Butai anali kuukira malo a adani pachilumba cha Adak m'mawa kwambiri. Nyengo yowopsya yomwe inakhala pamunsi pa America usiku wonse ndi m'maŵa wambiri inatsimikizira Kakuta kuti chikanakhala chanzeru kubwereranso ku Dutch Harbor, makamaka popeza kuti nyengo ya m'deralo inkaonekera bwino.
zasinthidwa kukhala zabwino.
Zikatero, pa 11:54, Kakuta adatumiza awiri a Kate kuchokera ku ndege yonyamula ndege ya Ryujo, yomwe idapita kukazindikira gawo la 46 ° pamtunda wa makilomita 144 kuti awone momwe nyengo ikuyendera ku Dutch Harbor9. Oponya mabomba ku Japan anakumana ndi ndege imodzi ya adani panjira, koma sanafune kulimbana nayo. Cha m'ma kotala: 13:00 anali atafika ku America ndipo adatumiza telegalamu yolimbikitsa kuti anthu aziukira. Kakuta naakali kuyeeya kuti bweende bwazintu bulibonya mbuli mbwaakali kukonzya kucita. Nthawi ya 13:44, adatumiza gulu lachiwiri la "Kate" kugawo loyang'anira 49 ° kwa ma 150 mailosi kuti atsimikizire kumenyedwa ku Dutch Harbor. Patadutsa ola limodzi, nthawi ya 14:XNUMX, oponya mabombawo anapereka kuwala kobiriwira kuti ayambe kuwuluka. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, gululo linadziwitsidwa za kupezeka kwa mdani mmodzi wowononga kumwera kwa chilumba cha UnalaskaXNUMX.
