Green is good.
Red is Wrong
A few comments:
1. Japanese AA fire was very weak at this point in the war, and trying to hit a dive bomber with timed fuse rounds during the actual bombing dive was almost impossible. In fact, the bombing dive itself was probably the safest part of a strike for a SBD, given that Zeros can't even follow them into a 70 degree dive without shaking themselves apart. The movie's depiction of Japanese AA fire was far far more effective than reality. I don't think it downed a single SBD at Midway.
2. Kamikaze wasn't a term used by the IJN in the war. In fact, it's a mistranslation, and the actual term was closer to "special purpose unit". They certainly weren't using them in '42. Also, it's really hard to tell how far a dive bomber is from your ship during its dive, so Japanese sailors are unlikely to realize the SBD was going below its safe drop altitude.
3. Dick Best was responsible for the hit on the Akagi that eventually sank it. However, the damage was initially relatively minor, and it took a while for the fire to spread to the aviation fuel. It was only then that stored aircraft munitions started going off, eventually dooming it.

This story is base on the movie Midway. I never watched the movie I just watched the short introduction of it. If I made any mistake please correct me.

Kamikase is the Japanese word for 'divine wind'. However, as a result of the mistranslation you point out, the word has become a byword for suicide tactics.
Just how would they even know that?
* loud airplane noises*
pony: What the heck is that?
Pilot: Did you hear something?
Pilot#2 I don't know

Okay, time for a huge explanation:
This is to all who has the same question. Look, if you were to be trapped in a world raged with brutal war and afraid of being captured and experienced, or maybe even killed, what would you do? Cry for help, yes indeed. So Twilight used a sound spell on everycreature on board that can ignore the other sounds to make sure the humans can hear them. Understood? Asking the same question multiple time is beginning to annoy me. I'm not mad, it just that you'll have to be patient and wait for my response, don't just state something without been properly answered.
