Jiang Tian didn't understand and asked what his boss meant by saying this.
Jiang Cheng looked at the Japanese planes that continuously dropped bombs and torpedoes to attack the US warships and said, "Do you still remember how Cao Cao won in the Battle of Guandu?"
Jiang Tian nodded and went back to rob the crow's nest and burn the grain and grass.
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "Yes. Since there is an opportunity to attack the enemy's rear, then cutting off the land where they can store grain and grass is the best choice for military strategists. Of course, the most important logistical support in modern warfare is no longer food and grass for human consumption."
, but the black blood these steel behemoths eat. Battleships and aircraft carriers are indeed very important and powerful, but without oil, they are just iron coffins. It is impossible for a battleship to go to sea without thousands of tons of heavy oil. Now in Pearl Harbor
However, it has stockpiled more than 4.5 million tons of heavy oil. If the heavy oil is exploded, even if the United States wants to regroup at Pearl Harbor, it may not be possible without spending two or three years. This amount of heavy oil is basically equivalent to the amount of heavy oil in history.
In 1941, Germany's annual oil production was reached. Let's continue reading and see if the Japanese would have thought of this. 23us.

There was thick smoke billowing from Pearl Harbor. The American sailors, who were completely awake, tried desperately to activate the warships and leave the port. More sailors ran to various anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, trying to attack the Japanese fighter planes. However, they were on vacation just now and found to their horror.
, all the weapons had no ammunition, so they could only wield these anti-aircraft guns like cold weapons. By the time they found ammunition, many warships had already sunk.
The first wave of attacks was mainly aimed at the warships in Pearl Harbor. The second wave of attacks began at nine o'clock Hawaii time. The Japanese troops were divided into two groups and attacked all the way to Kaneohe Airport and Beres Airport, sweeping across the west.
After Cam Field, they continued to bomb the US warships in Pearl Harbor.
The U.S. military, who thought the war had nothing to do with them, suffered a big loss. Due to the lack of preparation, more than 500 fighter planes were out of fuel and ammunition. Until the end of the entire bombing, only three U.S. military planes successfully flew into the sky to fight the Japanese.
Ten. In the sky, there were more than 400 Japanese aircraft, and the US military was passively beaten almost throughout the battle.
Fuchida on the plane continued to report the results of the battle to the rear, and at the same time began to prepare to return with the first wave of planes.
Nagumo Chuichi in the rear was walking around anxiously. A communications soldier excitedly waved a telegram and shouted, "Success, success. Our attack was extremely successful. The enemy suffered heavy losses."
Nagumo Chuichi quickly asked how the enemy's aircraft carrier was doing.
The signalman said firmly that the two ships in the port had been bombed and sunk, but the aircraft carrier Saratoga was missing.
Nagumo Chuichi was both happy and worried at the same time and said that the Saratoga was missing and where would they be... Send the battle report to Tokyo first

Yamamoto Isoroku sat in the war room with his eyes closed. He looked at the time and knew that the attack had begun. He suddenly said that we should declare war with the United States before attacking. Is this done?
The staff officer next to him lowered his head and said that he had followed His Majesty's instructions and requested the diplomatic ambassador to submit a declaration of war before one o'clock in the afternoon Washington time. This time is half an hour earlier than the time of our attack. There should be no problem. In addition, the embassy has stated that Nomura
The ambassador will leave at 11:30 Washington time, so don't worry.
Yamamoto Isoroku nodded, indicating that he understood.
At this time, bursts of cheers sounded. Yamamoto Isoroku opened his eyes and saw that the door of the war room was opened. A group of officers came in with a smile and surrounded by a communications officer. The communications officer saluted Yamamoto Isoroku and said "Tiger"
Huhu, we succeeded. Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy suffered heavy losses, and reports of enemy ship losses continued to come from the front line.
Yamamoto Isoroku immediately pointed to the string of names of US warships on the wall and said quickly mark them according to the telegram.
The Enterprise sank, the Lexington sank, the Pennsylvania suffered heavy damage, the California sank, the Maryland suffered medium damage....
Each US warship on the wall was outlined with a red pen. The staff officer next to him excitedly said to Yamamoto Isoroku that our victory was much greater than expected. This is really great.
Yamamoto Isoroku said excitedly that this must be God's blessing for our emperor, and immediately informed the military headquarters that the z-operation plan was successful and all armies can take action.
With that said, Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the names on the top two lines on the wall that were almost all red and said that we can have an advantage of at least one and a half years. The empire must make good use of this one and a half years... one and a half years
...
One and a half years, Commander, I think we can have at least three to five years of naval superiority. The staff officer next to him said with disapproval.
Yamamoto Isoroku smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know what kind of country we are attacking now. If they want to go all-in on the battle, then two aircraft carriers and seven or eight battleships will only be their output in one or two years."

Hull looked at the time and thought it was almost time. He got up and was about to see Nomura. Suddenly the phone rang. He slowly picked it up and said, I'm Hull. What's going on?
Mr. Hull, I just received a telegram from Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese army. This is not a drill. Mr. Hull, do you hear me clearly? Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese army. This is not a drill.
Hel felt completely confused. He opened his mouth and said with a trembling voice. Are you sure you're not mistaken? It's not a place like the Philippines.
Yes, it was Pearl Harbor, and General Marshall also got the news through the Army.
Hull tried to keep his voice calm and asked about our loss and when it happened.
It has been almost half an hour, and what is known now is that heavy losses were suffered in Pearl Harbor, and at least five large capital ships of our army were sunk.
Hull sat down on the chair with a clang. He didn't know whether he should blame himself for deliberately delaying the forty minutes. He said that I would report it to President Roosevelt immediately.
After Hull put down the phone, he shook his fist and walked out quickly. He walked faster and faster, and came to Roosevelt's office. He found that Hoover was also inside. Roosevelt's eyes were straight, indicating that he had learned the news.
Mr. President... our judgment was wrong. Japan attacked not our outer bases, but our Pearl Harbor. Hull said slowly. Japanese Ambassador Nomura has been waiting for us for forty minutes... What should we do?
Roosevelt slowly raised his head and said that the Japanese government's sneak attack on us is absolutely unforgivable. Accepting their declaration of war, since they chose to start like this, how it ends is none of their business.
, you have to stay calm and graceful, and then drive away all these yellow-skinned monkeys
Nomura anxiously looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. He stood up and said to the guard next to him, please urge Mr. Hull again. The Japanese Empire has extremely important credentials that need to be handed over.
The guard nodded and opened the door, just in time to see the livid-faced Hull, and quickly saluted Hull. Hull ignored him and walked to Nomura without saying a word.
Nomura quickly took out his letter of credence and said to Mr. Hull, Secretary of State of the United States, I have been ordered to submit my letter of credence before one o'clock in the afternoon.
Hull took it and asked why this time was set.
Nomura shook his head and said, I don’t know either, I was just following orders.
Hull looked at him coldly and said, no matter what you say, I received your note at 2:13. After saying that, as if he was afraid that Nomura would not remember it, he gritted his teeth again and said it was 2:00 pm Washington time.
Thirteen Pearl Harbor time 9:13 am
Nomura swallowed his saliva and slowly lowered his head.
Hull opened his credentials, glanced at them, smiled contemptuously and said: Declaration of war... This is not a declaration of war, this is a sneak attack. In the fifty years I have been in public office, I have never seen more lies and shamelessness than this note.
You are distorting the facts. I simply cannot believe that there is such a shameless country like yours in the world.
With that said, Hel stretched out his hand, stopped Nomura who was about to open his mouth to retort, and pointed to the door. Nomura slowly closed his mouth, bowed to Hel, and retreated.
Hull took the military attache outside the White House. The car had already arrived. He got in and turned on the radio. The radio was still singing and dancing, but before he had gone far, a nervous announcer's voice came in and kept repeating.
A paragraph: At 13:00 Washington time, the US Pacific Naval Base Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese army. The battle is still ongoing. Our army suffered heavy losses. Japan has not declared war on the United States and has now entered a state of war.
As soon as Nomura sat down at the embassy, he discovered that countless Americans had begun to swarm in. They were burning Japanese flags and throwing stones. A group of American troops rushed in. Nomura slowly stood up and looked at them.
The officer said to him, please do not leave the embassy, we will provide you with personal protection
Pearl Harbor
The second wave of aircraft attacks was almost over. Jiang Cheng slowly shook his head and said that there was no way to save him. He still didn't blow up the oil depot and ship repair yard. Instead, he went to blow up those cruisers. What's the point of fighting... Prepare to help them.
.
Jiang Tian nodded, walked quickly to a garage, and slowly drove out a giant car. There were more than a dozen extremely thick pipes on the back of this car. If future generations see it, they will call him by name.
rocket launcher
This is the blizzard that Jiang Cheng got from Ying Tianlin before.
With an error of 220 meters, we can hit it no matter what. The Japanese aircraft attack is almost over, and they are ready to attack. Jiang Cheng continued with a telescope.
In the sky, the Japanese aircraft began to regroup, indicating that they were leaving. The time at this time was 9:45 Hawaii time, and the bombing had been going on for two hours.
The US military's oil depots are actually divided into several places, most of which are concentrated in the oil depot area near the shipyard, and about one-third are scattered around the headquarters on the right side of the port.
There is a huge difference between the heavy oil used by the Navy and ordinary gasoline or diesel, that is, the ignition point of heavy oil is extremely high. The ignition point of heavy oil is as high as over 6,000 degrees, but its boiling point is only more than 200 degrees. This makes the heavy oil always burn before burning.
It first evaporates into oil vapor and then burns.
Among Jiang Cheng's twelve rockets, there were four each of incendiary bombs and high-explosive armor-piercing bombs, just in case.
The Japanese army began to return home and fired Jiang Cheng, shouting loudly.
Jiang Tian suddenly pressed the button, and the Blizzard rocket truck roared. Twelve rockets soared into the sky with tail flames, and then quickly rushed towards the dense oil storage area on the left side of Pearl Harbor.
Do we have time to do it again? Jiang Cheng asked.
Jiang Tian shook his head and said that if there were only two of us, it would probably take more than seven minutes. In such a long time, the nearby US military could have arrived here. Don't forget that there are US military planes in the sky.
Jiang Cheng said with some pity, okay, let's get ready to leave.
As he spoke, the rocket began to dive downwards and plunged into the oil depot. The warhead of the rocket exploded violently. The huge shock wave tore open the steel tank wall of the oil depot. The incendiary bomb suddenly exploded and burned.
, although the temperature exceeding 3,000 degrees cannot directly ignite the heavy oil, it does cause the heavy oil to quickly evaporate into oil vapor, and then the oil vapor burns violently, and after continuous circulation, it changes quantitatively and qualitatively, and explodes violently again.
Jiang Cheng looked at the violent explosion, slowly put down the telescope and said, let's go. After saying that, he walked to the rocket car, activated the space-time ball, and left the war-torn Pearl Harbor.
Jiang Cheng patted his butt and left. The US military in Pearl Harbor was in bad luck. More than three million tons of heavy oil leaked, burned and exploded. There was no way to save such a monstrous fire. The most terrible thing was that the storage location of these heavy oil was actually
It was very close to the dock, and it didn't take long to reach the dock. The burning heavy oil floated on the sea, and the scent of the dead American soldiers in the sea slowly wafted out. It made people feel intoxicated at first, and then nauseated. The fierce fire
As the ocean current slowly expanded, it soon surrounded half of Pearl Harbor. Even some warships were not lost to the Japanese bombing, but were lost in the raging fire.
Kimmel at the headquarters watched all this blankly. A stray bullet broke the glass and hit him. The last trace of power could only leave a small black dot on his snow-white officer uniform. Kimmel picked up the warhead.
, said bitterly, why don’t you beat me to death?
The Japanese pilots who finally left were confused by the fire that soared into the sky at Pearl Harbor. In the end, they could only guess which stray bomb concentrated in the oil depot and caused the explosion.
On the Japanese aircraft carrier, countless people waved their hats to welcome the return of the warriors in their hearts. When Fuchida got off the plane, he saw the old ground officer. He nodded to him and said, thank you for your blessings. Hurry, let's prepare for the first battle.
