[Machine Translation] In April 1941, the Imperial Navy decided to operate aircraft carriers as a group and established the world's first carrier task force, the First Air Fleet. In December of the same year, the Empire of Japan surprised Pearl Harbor and declared war on the United States and Britain. Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, decided to appoint Tamon Yamaguchi, commander of the 2nd Air Squadron, a man of courage and daring who understood air warfare, as Chief of Staff. The following year, however, the Imperial Navy conducted the Midway Operation with a large fleet, but suffered a painful defeat. The Imperial Navy learns that the U.S. military's next operation is to attack the island of Guadalcanal, and plans to destroy the U.S. aircraft carriers before attacking Hawaii. Furthermore, Chief of Staff Yamaguchi, who has a secret plan, challenges a new decisive battle called "Operation True Interception"!

昭和16年4月、帝国海軍は空母の集団運用に踏み切り、世界初の空母機動艦隊「第一航空艦隊」を創設した。同年12月、大日本帝国は真珠湾を奇襲し、米英に対して宣戦を布告。連合艦隊司令長官の山本五十六は、航空戦を理解し、勇猛果敢な男であり、第二航空戦隊司令官であった山口多聞を参謀長に据えることにする。しかし翌年、帝国海軍は大艦隊を擁してミッドウェイ作戦を実施するも、手痛い敗戦を喫してしまう。そんな中、米軍の次なる作戦がガダルカナル島であることを知った帝国海軍は、ハワイ攻略の前に米空母の撃滅を目論む。さらに、ある秘策を持つ山口参謀長は、「真の遮断作戦」という新たな決戦に挑むのであった!
