Chapter 380 Prepare to Fight Back
After the Japanese planes retreated, Nimitz, reacting from the shock, immediately gathered all the soldiers who could move.
Part of the aid of wounded soldiers, part of them immediately went to the air defense position.
Prepare to defend against the second round of bombardment by the Japanese army.
As for the plane, forget it.
His chief of staff told him that the planes at both of their airports had been blown up, and that there were only a few left.
It was simply impossible to fight the Japanese planes.
Nimitz knew that the Japanese would bomb again.
His battleship has not yet been completely blown up.
The Japanese army planned such an earth-shattering sneak attack plot, and it was impossible to retreat after only one round of bombing.
Li Lei rushed over, and he was in the dust.
Nimitz said to Li Lei in shame: "Mr. Li Lei, you are right, the Japanese army really attacked us. ”
Li Lei said: "General, the most important thing now is to guard against the second round of bombing by the Japanese army, and I think that the Japanese planes will come again soon." ”
Nimitz nodded: "Yes, I have given the order to deploy. ”
The news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor spread around the world in just two hours.
The old bald man was getting ready to go to bed when suddenly his phone rang.
This made him very dissatisfied.
Who is calling at this point in time, what kind of system has it become?
The old bald head answered the phone angrily: "Give you a minute to explain, why are you calling now?" ”
The other party paused for a moment and said to the old bald head: "Seat, the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor in country M." ”
What the?
The old bald head, who was also tired just now, heard the news, and his heart twitched violently twice.
The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in country M???
Is this true?
"Has this news been verified?" The old bald man tried his best to control his excitement.
"It's been verified, and the news is true."
Good!!!
The old bald man's eyes welled up with tears.
It's really good.
Now that the island nation has one more powerful enemy, the balance of victory has begun to tilt in our favor.
As long as country M participates in the war against the island country, it will not be a few years before the island country will be completely defeated.
Sneak attack on Pearl Harbor?
The courage of the island country is really big, it's crazy.
At the same time, the news was also received by the Shanxi Eighth Route Army.
The chief lit a cigarette and said to the chief of staff: "This is the turning point of the island nation from victory to decline." ”
And the fat man Qiu of country Y happily lit a cigar and muttered to himself, now our country Y can finally win.
A few hours later, the second round of Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor ended.
The bombing did not have the desired effect, although two more destroyers were sunk, but the battleships and cruisers, they did not sink.
It's just an injury.
Nagumo Tadaichi was preparing for the third round of bombardment, when he suddenly received an order from Yamamoto Isoroku to stop the bombardment and all the fleets to return immediately.
This order made Nagumo Zhongyi very puzzled.
Commander, what's the matter?
With one more bombing, we could completely blow up the battleships in Pearl Harbor.
It's not time to stop.
Puzzled, Nagumo Tadaichi immediately sent a telegram to Yamamoto Isoroku asking why.
Yamamoto said to Nagumo Tadaichi that the bombing of Pearl Harbor had achieved the desired effect, and that it was time to retreat immediately.
The location of their fleet has been leaked, and if they don't retreat quickly, they are likely to be discovered by other warships of country M.
Now the fleet transferred out of the Pacific Fleet, it is not known where.
In the event of a sudden appearance of their fleet, our fleet, there is a risk of being bombed.
An aircraft carrier that has lost its aircraft is a living target.
Their current huge fleet, but with six aircraft carriers, cannot afford to make a mistake.
This is almost the most powerful sea power in their empire.
Nagumo Tadaichi felt that Admiral Yamamoto was too conservative, and now was the best time to strike at the Pacific Fleet, and if he missed it, there would be no such opportunity in the future.
But Yamamoto Isoroku had already ordered a retreat, and Nagumo Tadaichi had no choice but to order the attacking troops to retreat.
The Japanese fleet retreated in a mighty manner.
At this time, the island nation has fallen into complete madness.
The news of the successful sneak attack on Pearl Harbor made Hideki Tojo jump with excitement.
Think of a spring.
He immediately ordered his troops, immediately sent troops to Southeast Asia, occupied the territories of country M, and seized resources.
All of a sudden, the Japanese troops in the entire island country seemed to be refreshed and full of fighting spirit again.
The most sober, but Yamamoto is fifty-six.
He knew very well that the success of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was a pure fluke.
In the future, they will not have such victories again.
Moreover, in Yamamoto Fifty-six's heart, there is a thought that the end of our island country is coming.
Tojo, Tojo, sneak attack on country M, this is a very wrong decision.
Boss Luo immediately convened a meeting and asked the Congress to agree to the war against Japan.
They must declare war on the island nation.
"Mr. Vice Boss, dear colleagues,
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a day of shame that must always be remembered – Country M was subjected to a sudden and deliberate attack by the naval and air forces of the island nation.
Yesterday's assault on Hawaii Island caused serious damage to the naval and army forces of country M. I regret to inform you that many of the lives of M-nation people have been lost, and that M-ship ships have reportedly been torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday, the army of the island nation launched an offensive against Malaya.
Last night, the island's army attacked Hong Kong Island.
Last night, the island nation army attacked Guam.
Last night, the army of the island nation attacked the Philippine archipelago.
Last night, the islanders attacked Wake Island.
This morning, the islanders attacked Midway.
……
I ask the Diet to declare that there has been a state of war between country M and the island nation since December 7, 1941, when Japan launched an unprovoked and despicable attack! ”
Boss Luo's speech made the entire country of country M fall into a huge sense of revenge.
Many young people have joined the army.
Their factories, which were immediately converted to a wartime state, began to produce large quantities of military supplies.
Damaged warships stepped up for repair, and lost aircraft stepped up production.
The whole country of country M is running at full speed.
After announcing the war against the island country, Boss Luo felt that as a retaliation, they had to teach the island country a lesson, and at the same time use it to boost the confidence of the people of country M.
Therefore, he decided, to bomb Tokyo.
As soon as this decision came out, his subordinates basically thought it was impossible.
This made Boss Luo very annoyed.
Nothing is impossible in this world!
I can be the boss even if I am disabled, so what is impossible?
Boss Luo didn't listen to those explanations at all, he only had one result, and that was to bomb the island country of Tokyo.
We need to let the island nations know that our military is still strong.
This made many of his generals very difficult, because they felt that this idea was simply impossible to realize.
In the end, Li Lei came up with a plan that made everyone's eyes shine.
Li Lei's plan was to use the aircraft carrier of country M, radio silence to the south of the island country, and then let the bombers take off from the aircraft carrier.
Because of fuel problems, after the bombing of their bombers was over, they did not return, but flew directly to Wuhan, China, to land.
Boss Luo immediately asked their people to conduct a detailed analysis and came to the conclusion that there was a high probability that the plan would succeed.
It's crazy, but it's very likely to succeed.
After the plan was proposed, country M immediately upgraded the bomber.
But during the test, there were big problems, because no one knew whether it would be successful, so they did not dare to fly the bomber to take off from the aircraft carrier.
In the end, Li Lei decided that he and Leif would be the first to eat crabs.
Everyone looked at Li Lei in disbelief and felt that this young man was simply crazy.
As long as it makes a mistake, it is basically a crash!
Li Lei patted Leif on the shoulder: "How is it?" Do you dare to fly a bomber with me? To be honest, I've never flown an aircraft on an aircraft carrier. ”
Leif shrugged: "If you dare, I dare." ”
Li Lei grinned.
Leif is really good.
The tests were on board the USS Enterprise.
At this time, Li Lei was already sitting in the cockpit of the B-25 bomber, and next to him was Leif.
"Leif, are you ready? Let them open their eyes today. There is no plane that we can't fly. Li Lei said to Leif.
Leif's palms were a little sweaty: "Mr. Li, can we really fly?" ”
Li Lei grinned: "Nothing is impossible. ”
His face suddenly became serious: "Start Engine One." ”
"Engine No. 1 started successfully."
"Start Engine Two."
"Engine No. 2 was successfully activated."
After the engines on the left and right sides were started, Leif asked Reif to check that all the instruments were in order.
Everything works fine.
The flag in front waved twice to indicate that everything was ready and they could test it.
Li Lei took a deep breath and pulled the bomber's speed to the maximum.
The bomber buzzed and accelerated, and everyone on the deck looked nervously at the bomber.
The plane slid up quickly, and from the cockpit view, the deck was extremely short.
In just a few seconds, the deck in Li Lei's sight was gone.
The entire bomber left the aircraft carrier.
The bomber, because of the huge inertia, began to rush forward.
But because the bomber was heavy and the deck of the aircraft carrier was not long enough, the entire fuselage began to fall down while the bomber flew forward.
Frightened, Leif was sweating profusely.
And everyone on the deck of the aircraft carrier chuckled even more.
Because of the angle of sight, from the deck of the aircraft carrier, Li Lei's plane fell into the sea.
This is a serious accident.
Now the aircraft carrier is moving fast against the wind, and if the plane falls into the sea, it will be immediately smashed by the aircraft carrier.
A few soldiers even closed their eyes in horror.
At this time, Li Lei's plane flew up.
Then it suddenly smoked and flew away.
It worked!
The first successful take-off gave everyone a boost of confidence.
After Li Lei and Leif returned, they took a break from some mistakes during the first takeoff.
