Chapter 871 Tiger! Tiger! Tiger (1)

Pearl Harbor, located on Oahu Island on Hawaii.

The population structure on Oahu is mainly white, Japanese, Chinese and Filipino. The terrain is a harbor surrounded by six places, but there is only one exit. It takes 3 hours for ships in the port to export to the outer sea through export.

At this time, the oil depots and maintenance facilities on the island lacked air protection. As for the defense of torpedoes, it was demolished because Admiral Haasbden Kimmel reported to Washington that "the torpedo defense net hindered traffic at the narrow harbor exit."

Although there has been a tense between the United States and Japan, the soldiers in the port have not been told that they may go to war with Japan. Although some officers on the US side believe that Pearl Harbor will be attacked by Japan instead of the Philippines, they also believe that Japan cannot immediately attack Pearl Harbor.

The most important reason is that Pearl Harbor is equipped with new radar detection. In the eyes of the Americans, Pearl Harbor, which has a large number of warships, coastal defense facilities and even radar stations, can report to Washington before being attacked. At the same time, more than 400 fighter jets on the island are also the source of the military's confidence in Pearl Harbor.

At 10:30 am on December 3, 1939, the Tokyo Empire Congress made a decision after a hustle and bustle. Then Tadaichi Nagamoto in the Pacific received an order to climb the new high mountain and o1o1 at 5:30 am the next day.

"You guys! The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom is due to this battle. All officers and soldiers must do their best and do their best!" Natsuichi Nagashi bowed deeply to the pilots who had already dressed up: "Please!"

"Hayi!!"

Then, the fighter planes on the originally calm aircraft carrier made a roar that shook the sky and soared from the aircraft carrier! Flying towards the distance.

Hawaii is still on the morning when the sun is not rising. There are only a few people on the island, and most of the soldiers are still resting. Last night it was a night-long carnival because of the war preparations required everyone could only stay in Pearl Harbor.

But this did not affect their holding a cocktail party to celebrate the arrival of 1939. Everyone was tired after a night of carnival. At this time, most of the officers and soldiers were sleeping soundly, and the entire Oahu was so peaceful except for a few people on duty.

"Hey! Man, what is that?!" A US privateer at Opanareda Station pointed to several light spots on the screen and said to his companion on duty: "What is this?!"

His companion was also a private. When he swept his sleepy eyes to the screen, a bright spot appeared on it, slowly approaching Oahu. This was the radar telling the two that there were unknown objects close to Oahu.

"Only one, it should be nothing big. Can an unknown object destroy Oahu Island?!" But his companion yawned and turned over: "Don't make a fuss, I'll change you to rest later."

Seeing his companion say this, the private shrugged and did not respond. Although the United States had become a feud with Japan at this time, the soldiers of Pearl Harbor did not enter a state of combat readiness except for the exercise.

But just a quarter of an hour later, the second-class who had turned over heard the screams of his companions again.

"God! John! Stop sleeping, get up quickly! Look at what this is?!" John heard the screams of his companions, and a roar turned over from the camp bed and rushed to the screen.

But I saw a large group of light spots on the screen moving towards Oahu Island in a uniform manner. There were about hundreds of light spots, forming an attack arrow and coming towards Oahu Island!

"Damn it! Contact the Air Defense Center!" John was completely sleepy at this time and shouted loudly at his companion. The second-class private who was observing the screen grabbed the phone beside him and dialed towards the Air Defense Center.

"Air Defense Center! This is the Opana Radar Station, I am Private Francis Peters! We found a large group of unknown objects on the radar and moving towards Oahu! Repeat, we found a large group of unknown objects on the radar and moving towards Oahu!!"

Lieutenant Taylor, who was on duty in the air defense center, was shocked by the roar of the privateer, and he yawned and frowned, flirted and said to Peters.

"Private, don't panic with your companions. What you see should be a patrol from the 'Shigam' airport, or a B-17 bomber from California, the United States." Taylor yawned invisibly. He played a little crazy last night.

This has caused him to have a serious lack of sleep. His only idea now is to go back and have a good sleep after being on duty. Perhaps after getting up, he should go to the wild girl last night to have another drink.

"Okay, don't panic. Just continue on duty. Call me if you have any questions." After saying that, Taylor hung up the phone directly. Then he put his feet on the console, covered with military uniform and his military cap to take a nap.

At 7:40 am, it has been 1 hour and 40 minutes since those fleets painted with Hinomaru left the aircraft carrier. The island of Oahu in front is already vaguely visible.

49 Type 97 torpedo attack aircraft, as horizontal bombers, carried 176o-pound armor-piercing bombs. Under the command of Mitsuo Furida, they were divided into four fleets in combat formations towards the sleeping Pearl Harbor!

After them, Shigeji Murata commanded the 4O Type 97 torpedo attack aircraft equipped with Type 91 torpedoes, divided into 4 fleets and followed closely.

"Swish..." A muffled sound rang in the air. The poor Japanese have not installed communication equipment on the plane until now. They can only rely on signal flares to issue attack commands.

I have to say that this thing is very inaccurate. After the signal ejected, several planes did not see it, and they still maintained their formation and did not dive.

Mizuo Furida cursed a few words and could only shoot the signal flare again. This time, the pilots who did not see the signal flare finally saw the attack signal, and then the 49 Type 97 torpedo attack aircraft that roared suddenly towards the destroyer parked in Pearl Harbor!

"Woo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boom!!" The explosion shattered the calm of Pearl Harbor. The battleship Galiveria, anchored in Pearl Harbor, was shot first, and thick smoke suddenly rose! The 176o-pound armor-piercing projectile was powerful and hit it directly.

"Damn it! We were sneak attacked! We were sneak attacked!!" Taylor, who was on duty at the Air Defense Center, was shocked to the ground at the moment of the explosion. When he stood up, he saw Japanese fighter jets flying all over the sky.

The "Hinomaru" painted on it looked so dazzling, Taylor was cold all over. He thought of the phone call he received from Private Second Class of Opanareda Station earlier...

"Jiuchi...boom!boom!boom..." Wheeler Airport and Shigam Airport were also bombed. In the eyes of Japan, these two airports are the key to the US counterattack, and they must destroy the US military's counterattack capabilities.

Wheeler Airport, which has 5O P-4O and P-36, destroyed a quarter of the aircraft in its first attack. The barracks and hangars were destroyed by bombs, and the flames of Wheeler Airport soared into the sky! The damage to the hangar and the airport runway made them completely lose their ability to counterattack.

The Shigam Airport is not much better. The Shigam Airport, which parks about 70 bombers, also shot into the sky with a burst of explosions, including 12 of which were blown up by the b-17 flight fortresses, which was even worse than that of Wheeler Airport.

The Japanese temporarily paralyzed Wheeler Airport and Shgam Airport as they wished, and Shigeji Murata, a team carrying the Type 91 torpedo, also attacked at this time.

The ships in Pearl Harbor were constantly hit by torpedoes, making a shocking explosion. Countless sailors were awakened and rushed out of the camp before they could put on their clothes and watched Hinomaru flying all over the sky at a loss.

"Pearl Harbor was air strike, this is not an exercise! Repeat, Pearl Harbor was air strike, this is not an exercise!!" Colonel Logan.c. Remse broadcast from Ford Island to the port at 7:58.

His voice finally made the panicked sailors and air force come to their senses, and under the command of officers at all levels, he hurried towards the combat post.

The roar of the bomb and the roar of the explosion resounded throughout Pearl Harbor. At this time, the 8 battleships, 8 cruisers and 30 destroyers were anchored in the port and became the key targets of Japanese fighter jets.

Torpedoes and bombs kept throwing towards them, and explosions rang out in the small Pearl Harbor.

"Boom!!" The battleship Arizona was penetrated by a bomb and exploded in the boiler and ammunition depot. The sailors who had just rushed to the battle post screamed and slowly sank towards the seabed amid the fire and explosions.

"TuTuTuTuTu..." It was not until this time that the Americans recovered and began to fight back against the Japanese army. However, this sporadic counterattack did not cause any harm to the Japanese army, and the Japanese fighter jets from afar were still unscrupulous.

A few fighter jets were also looking for planes to take off and directly kill the Japanese fighter jets in the sky. Unfortunately, this did not bring any changes to this disadvantageous battle situation.

"Buzz buzz..." At this time, a total of 171 Japanese fleets, commanded by Shimazaki, had arrived over Pearl Harbor! The second attack team consisting of 54 Type 97 ship attack aircraft, 81 Type 99 dive bombers and 36 Type Zero fighters almost made the US team at Pearl Harbor despair.

They knew that they had encountered an air strike or sneak attack by the Japanese army with absolute superiority!

The Nevada combat ship finally moved at this time, and the captain roared on the battleship, trying to drive the Nevada out of Pearl Harbor to avoid the annihilation of the US Pacific Fleet.

"Jiuchi...boom!!boom..." But they did not notice that the Japanese bombers had already seen their actions. They blocked the only exit of Pearl Harbor and launched a fierce attack! After several explosions, the Nevada was tragically sunk outside the port...

At this time, Tadakaichi Nagamoto was holding a telegram on the bridge of his command ship, and his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at the fighter jets that were constantly taking off and landing.
