Just when China and Germany were about to eat the bear's paws, the island countries were not idle, and the brand-new battleship formation bought from China was named the Taiping, which means dominating the Pacific Ocean. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Indochina (Vietnam) is a French colony, the Philippines is in the hands of the United States, Indonesia is a Dutch colony, and Burma, Malaysia, Brunei, and India are all British colonies.

Taiwan has been taken back by China, the forward base is gone, and the island countries are eyeing the Philippines and want to make the Philippines a base for going south. However, if you want to fight the Philippines, you have to wrestle with the United States, because the US military strength in the Pacific is not weak, and if you don't knock the US fleet first, the island country's southward movement is just an empty word.

After planning for a long time, Hirohito finally made up his mind to follow the Navy's suggestion, first kill Pearl Harbor, gain strategic advantages, and then occupy Southeast Asian countries as quickly as possible to seize resources.

As the commander-in-chief and commander of the combined fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku immediately issued an order to take Nagumo Tadaichi as the commander of the air attack formation, and to have the air attack troops and alert troops under his jurisdiction.

Nagumo Tadaichi personally commanded the six aircraft carriers of the air raid force, Major General Omori Sentaro commanded one cruiser and nine destroyers of the alert force, and Lieutenant General Mikawa Gunichi commanded the support troops, which included the battleships Hiei and Kirishima and the heavy cruisers Tone and Chikuma, and the patrol, sabotage, and supply units had submarines, supply ships, submarines, destroyers, and oil tankers.

Lieutenant General Mitsumi Shimizu commanded the advance formation, which has three submarine formations, a special attack force, a reconnaissance unit at key locations, and a supply force, with 27 submarines and six oil tankers.

With the battleship Taiping as the flagship, Yamamoto personally led the battleship formation of the Taiping to carry out the second wave of attacks, and wanted to smash the US Pacific Fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor.

This time, Yamamoto 56 commanded a total of three battleships, six aircraft carriers, 423 carrier-based aircraft, four heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, 14 destroyers, 30 submarines, and 14 supply and oil tankers.

The United States has deployed three aircraft carriers, nine battleships, 20 cruisers, 69 destroyers, and 27 submarines in the Pacific Ocean.

The island nation is not out of the nest, but the Combined Fleet has already taken out at least a third of its own funds, and the other warships are either guarding the mainland or maintaining in the dockyard.

The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already sent a representative to the United States for this attack on Pearl Harbor, and it is expected to declare war on the United States 30 minutes before the start of the war, and to demoralize the United States by declaring war in advance.

In order to achieve the maximum effect, Yamamoto only told a few important generals about the combat mission, and did not allow the news to be leaked, and when the fleet arrived less than 200 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor, because it was early Sunday morning, most of the American troops were on vacation, and Pearl Harbor was unaware of the approach of the Japanese army.

The first to arrive at Pearl Harbor were the submarines of the advance formation, which had already penetrated Pearl Harbor and released torpedoes at close range as soon as the attack began.

At dawn in the morning, Yamamoto Isoroku ordered Nagumo Tadashi to begin the air raid and asked the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the United States to submit a declaration of war to the United States an hour later.

Nagumo Tadaichi divided the fighters on the six aircraft carriers into two batches, and the first batch of 183 bombers and fighters took off and formed a formation in the air, and all 183 fighters were grouped and immediately rushed to Pearl Harbor.

At 7:40, 183 warplanes arrived north of Pearl Harbor, and the commander of the formation, after confirming the correct position, gave the order to attack.

Torpedo bombers and dive bombers launched the first wave of attacks, and a large number of torpedoes were dropped from the sky and attacked the American warships anchored in the harbor. The dive bomber dived at high speed against the US warship from a high altitude, dropped the bomb, pulled it up, and dived again to drop the bomb.

At 7:58, the U.S. Navy finally reacted and issued a warning to all ships: "Pearl Harbor was attacked by air, this is not an exercise!" ”

The submarine lurking in Pearl Harbor saw that the bombers were already laying eggs, and they also threw the torpedoes they carried at the battleships and cruisers, as for those destroyers, forget it, they were not interested.

As for the aircraft carriers, none of them were seen in Pearl Harbor, and three US aircraft carriers were sailing out with a group of cruisers and destroyers, as well as a battleship.

At 8 o'clock, the battleship Nevada was finally the first to start a counterattack, and the anti-aircraft fire was wildly fired, but after all, it was attacked and defenseless, and after shooting down two bombers, the stern was hit by a torpedo, and when trying to escape from Pearl Harbor, it was hit several times, and had to run aground on the shoal to avoid sinking.

At 8:08 a.m., the KGMB radio station suspended the broadcast, and the announcer broadcast the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor to listeners and called on all soldiers to return to their posts and launch a counterattack. At this point, the news that the US military had been attacked by the Japanese army was already well known, and the representative of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had not yet submitted a declaration of war to the United States.

Half an hour later, the second wave of the offensive began, with 132 bombers bombing the ship and 36 fighters suppressing the US air force that launched a counterattack. At this time, the United States received a declaration of war from Japan, and Roosevelt scolded the island nation as a despicable sneak attacker.

Yamamoto Isoroku was determined to kill the American warships, and at the end of the second wave of attacks, he ordered Nagumo Tadaichi to continue the attack, while Yamamoto Isoroku personally led the battleship formation Taipei, the battleships Rui, the battleships Kirishima and the heavy cruisers Tone and Chikuma to Pearl Harbor, preparing to destroy all the battleships in Pearl Harbor, so that the United States did not even have the possibility of repairing them.

At 11:15 a.m., the Governor of Hawaii announced on the radio that the whole of Hawaii would be under martial law, and at 12:40 p.m., the Governor of Hawaii, after consulting with Roosevelt, announced the introduction of wartime laws and the establishment of a military government in Hawaii.

At 13:30, the fleet led by Isoroku Yamamoto finally arrived at Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor is an inner harbor, like a chicken's footprint, and it is connected to the ocean by a channel nearly two kilometers long and 500 meters wide, and Yamamoto Isoroku blocked the channel at sea.

"The battleships Taipei, Hiei, and Kirishima launched an artillery bombardment of the U.S. warships at Pearl Harbor, and cruisers and destroyers were deployed around!" Yamamoto Isoroku took the command knife and pointed in the direction of Pearl Harbor to give orders.

The battleship Taipei, which had three 406mm triple guns, and the Hiei and Kirishima each had four 356mm twin guns, and 17 large-caliber guns bombarded Pearl Harbor indiscriminately, which was unreasonable.

There is no way for heavy cruisers not to open their guns, only 203mm main guns, and they basically can't pose much threat to the thick-skinned battleships when they are shot, and some ammunition is wasted, so they have to save their strength to defend against the American battleships that may break out of Pearl Harbor.

The triple blow from the air, the sea, and the bottom of the sea did not take a day, and excluding the battleships that were on duty outside, the eight battleships, seven cruisers, 28 destroyers, and five submarines moored in Pearl Harbor were all turned into scum by Yamamoto 56, and Pearl Harbor was in a sea of fire and was in ruins.
