Chapter 13: The Air Raid on Pearl Harbor (Part II)

Unlike other aircraft carriers, who could only help individual planes evade danger in a hurry, Kaga directly controlled several Tenzan ships to attack, and asked Lieutenant Iizuka to choose the target as the battleship Nevada. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And she Kaga, controlled a total of 8 Tenzan to accelerate in a trapezoidal shape, and before the pilots inside could react, they were the first to enter the torpedo launch range, and the huge battleship Oklahoma was the first target of Kaga's destruction.

While blaming Zuizuru for his mistake in the frequency band, Kaga's mind raced to calculate how to sink the battleship in one go. No less than the calculation and analysis of the future computer, Kaga has already designed how to sink the battleship.

At the range of the final slalom, Kaga fired 8 torpedoes simultaneously in a fan shape. Then control the planes to take off in two teams and pull them up to avoid crashing into the enemy warship. The plane was faster than the torpedo, and as the plane skimmed over the sides of the Oklahoma, the pilot could see the panicked and bewildered American sailors on the opposing ship. The anti-aircraft artillery of the other ships hit a random attack, and unfortunately hit a Tenzan that could not be dodged, but Kaga did not care about the price.

The one-sided lightning strike of 8 torpedoes overturned the behemoth, and in the violent explosion, countless sailors fell into the water, like dumplings, or exploded to pieces with the weapons of the detonation. When the pilots on the seven Tianshan Mountains looked back, the Oklahoma, which had flaunted its might, had completely flipped on its side and was slowly sinking.

The sinking of a 27,500-ton capital battleship ignited the climax of the first wave of attacks, and the cruisers, which had been blown up by high-explosive bombs and torpedoes, were not ashamed, because the best battleships in the harbor were sunk in an instant.

When the first wave of attacks was over and Fuchida shouted for a victorious return, a murderous smile appeared on Kaga's face - not only the navy of the American Federation, but also the newcomers of the Fifth Air War did not want to win the battle. She Kaga wants to prove that she can play with human wars at will, and with her unique ship ability, she can control the direction of war.

With the sinking of Oklahoma, the command in Pearl Harbor issued a warning, calling on the officers and men in Hong Kong to immediately engage in a counterattack. However, it was of little significance, and the target of the carrier-based aircraft group commanded by Xiang He was directly aimed at the aircraft airfield at Pearl Harbor, and the bombs not only blew up the runway into a tunnel, but also completely destroyed the most valuable aircraft unit in the harbor on the tarmac. After the series of explosions, only the roar of the engines of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft remained. Bullets swept through the soldiers, who had not woken up from the early morning of the holiday, and death spread like a plague.

The first wave of air raids went exceptionally well, and when Akagi reported the results, even Nagumo Tadashi, who had always been calm, stood up excitedly when he heard it. The previous worries were swept away, and there was no more magical elixir than victory.

Not all the officers and men on the ship were frightened by the Japanese fighters covering the sky in front of them, and the Nevada was the first to evade, and after being hit by a torpedo, the captain witnessed the sinking of the right ship Oklahoma, and he immediately gave the order to evacuate the harbor. His judgment was not wrong, the main target of the first wave of planes was still the cruisers in the harbor, once all the cruisers were blown up and sunk and blocked the exit, they battleships could not escape if they wanted to, and instead of waiting in the harbor for the planes to blow up and sink their own ships, it was better to escape from the harbor as soon as possible, and there was still a piece of life.

Many gunners had already rushed to their posts to launch a counterattack against the Japanese fighters, suppressing the firepower of the Japanese planes, and the captain of the Nevada felt that the opportunity had come, so he immediately rushed to the exit at full speed.

But he didn't expect that a group of submarines would rush into the harbor at the risk of seeing the air raid begin. The two sides met at a narrow exit location. The flagship of the third submarine special operations team, Yi 8, had never seen a battleship appear in front of him at close range, three points of horror, seven points of surprise, and immediately called his sisters.

The white line of waves was a harbinger of death for the observers on the Nevada, not to mention that there was no way to turn and dodge, but just from a distance, they communicated the situation, and the torpedo reached the bottom of the ship. Who would have thought that at this time there would be a torpedo from a submarine that was urging for life.

The hull shook violently, and two comets swept over the sky and dropped bombs, although they did not cause major damage, but the bow of the ship had already begun to sink. The captain of the USS Nevada was eager to take out an anti-submarine mine and blow up the Japanese submarine that was not far away, but the main warship had no anti-submarine equipment.

The second round of torpedoes hit two more and became a live target for the submarine, and the captain of the Nevada was forced to give the order to speed up to the beach, and instead of sinking, it was better to run aground on the beach, and maybe be able to repair it back after the war.

Yi 8 couldn't help but laugh when he saw the enemy's 27,500-ton big guy rushing to the beach in a humiliated manner. These battleships, which can also fight the highest position with only the code name, have no backhand, and their life achievements seem to have been achieved today.

The third ship to suffer doom was the USS Arizona, which was moored in the innermost part. Several comets belonging to Akagi risked being shot down and flew above the Arizona. With Akagi's order, the pilot dived and dropped the bomb, and an armor-piercing bomb specially designed for the transformation of these steel behemoths was the secret weapon that Akagi brought this time.

A total of 10 comets were dropped, 8 of which hit the Arizona, and many of the sailors on the deck of the hull had no time to dodge, and the armor-piercing shells smashed open the deck, and the big hole spread, but they could only fall helplessly, becoming the addition of the bomb explosion.

"As a result, the Arizona is also incapacitated." Akagi watched the explosion sound, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, the killer weapon she prepared was still very effective and could be popularized in future battles.

But Akagi did not know that an armor-piercing shell had passed through several layers of armor and landed at the ammunition depot due to its special landing point. The Arizona failed to organize a counterattack, and with the last loud bang that shook Pearl Harbor, it was cut in two, the same pride of the American Federal Navy, but God did not pity her helplessness. The waves blew up tens of meters. Akagi looked back and saw only two pieces of steel sinking rapidly.

"Akagi, did you sink anything?" As soon as Nanyun Zhong saw Akagi, who had come back to his senses after lifting the control, he looked like he was begging for a reward for touching his head, and he was also very happy.

"I won't tell you~"

Akagi playfully sat down in his chair and rested for a few minutes, the second wave of air raids was about to begin, and they had to hold on until the end of the air raids, no matter how tired they were.

The second round of air raids was several times more resistant, and the American Navy in the harbor also organized effective anti-aircraft fire, although the ships were still living targets lying on the sea, but now they were pricked, not fish on the chopping board. After paying a certain price, only the American Pacific Fleet was left with the smoke of gunpowder. As far as the eye could see, at least half of the ships were sinking, some were already in the water, and the lucky destroyers were fighting back against the submarines blocking the exit, and it seemed that the only battle in which the United States had taken the initiative.

And the superiority of the American Navy also means that the Yi 8 squad fought hard, because it had rushed into the port, her sisters released four more A targets regardless of the order, and as a result, they encountered the destroyer team that rushed to take revenge, and the miserable speed of the A standard could not escape at all, and before the attack was launched, four A were sunk by the destroyer's mines.

Seeing that the enemy destroyer had discovered him, I-8 hesitated for a few seconds and decisively chose to retreat, but the sister who was running slowly was unfortunately attacked by the destroyer, but fortunately it did not affect the normal navigation. In the words of I-8, it feels good to run after the fight.

After recovering the first wave of carrier-based aircraft, the six aircraft carriers also learned about their losses, each of which lost 3-5 aircraft, a total of 169 aircraft out of 183. According to their respective statistics, the second wave of aircraft is also returning, and a total of 6 enemy battleships have lost their combat effectiveness, of which three have been confirmed to be sunk, one is grounded, and two are seriously tilted and may sink at any time. As for the exploits of other large and small sunken cruisers and destroyers, they have become accessories.

At the captain's room of the flying dragon, Yamaguchi Tawen suddenly proposed an additional air raid plan, because the reconnaissance plane sent out discovered a large amount of crude oil reserves in the port.

"Wyvern, Sylorfly, prepare for the third wave of air raids."

As soon as Yamaguchi's order was given, Nagumo Tadaichi, as the commander, vetoed his plan. "Yamaguchi-kun, your plan is too risky. Waiting for the second wave of planes to recover and evacuate immediately is the best policy. The enemy's aircraft carriers could rush to Pearl Harbor at any time. ā€

"Then even the enemy's aircraft carriers will be wiped out!"

Nagumo Tadaichi's original good mood of victory was also annoyed by his old friend, Yamaguchi knew that he had a strong desire to fight, and it was for this reason that he gave an order to stop the execution of the two aircraft carriers of the Second Air War as a commander. If it weren't for Nagumo Tadaichi at this moment, he would be the supreme commander on the battlefield, and Yamaguchi Tawen would probably not have paid attention to his advice.

"Calm down, Yamaguchi-kun. Do you know how much we lost in the second wave of aircraft? 41! 167 lost 41 aircraft, the proportion rose from 7.6% to 24%, the enemy has organized effective anti-aircraft fire, and we cannot continue to stay here. Assuming the release of a third wave of aircraft, the battle damage and the gains will be completely unbalanced! We also have a higher risk of encounters, and as the supreme commander here, I don't agree with releasing a third wave of aircraft. ā€

Nagumo Tadaichi's words were agreed by the commander of the Fifth Air Battle, Hara Tadaichi, and for the pilots of the Fifth Air Warfare, even if the main task was to paralyze the enemy's airfield and part of the anti-aircraft fire positions, the losses were still the largest among the three air battles. Of the 55 carrier-based aircraft that were downed, 27 came from the Fifth Air Battle. Continuing to send planes, he, as the admiral of the clan, of course, did not agree.

In the face of the refusal of the two colleagues, Yamaguchi Tawen felt resentment towards them for the first time, according to the reconnaissance plane report, the oil storage point is about 4 million tons of crude oil or maybe even more, if these oil storage tanks are not destroyed, relying on the oil there, as long as the airstrip is repaired and the shipping channel is dredged, Pearl Harbor, as a forward base of the American Federation, can continue to be used at any time. Perhaps it may seem to others that sinking more than half of the enemy fleet is no longer capable of fighting back, but Yamaguchi Tawen clearly knows that these are just a boot disturbance.

"Smell the pill, retreat. Chikuma sent a telegram that her reconnaissance plane had spotted an American Federation fleet, including the USS Enterprise. It's not far from Pearl Harbor. ā€

Even his wife didn't want to take the risk, and Yamaguchi had no choice but to give up.
