While most of the civilians and soldiers in Pearl Harbor were still asleep, an SCR-270 early warning radar was faithfully carrying out its guard mission on the high hills of Cape Opama in the north of Pearl Harbor Oahu.

In order to make up for the lack of reconnaissance capability at Pearl Harbor at night, the Pacific Fleet has deployed a number of mobile radar stations on the high ground around Pearl Harbor to serve as a vigilance duty at night.

This radar station on the high hill of Cape Opama was responsible for the defense of the northern area of Pearl Harbor.

On the grass behind the radar signal antenna, radar soldier Joseph. Locke and George. Ellitt leaned in front of the monitor, staring side-by-side at the watch on George's wrist.

The hour hand of the watch is almost fixed on the number seven, the minute hand is just one step away from the number twelve, and the second hand ticks to the number twelve directly above.

"Five, four, three, two, one, it's time, turn off, get off work." Joseph let out a loud cheer, reached out and snapped off the switch, stood up and rushed out of the car where the monitor was, and stood on the grass with his tired body.

George then stood up, picked up the sailing cap on the table and put it on his head.

"I'm willing to bet that there must be only the two of us in the cafeteria, and at this time, the lucky ones must still be sleeping, and the dormitory must be full of empty wine bottles and the smell of alcohol." George said, rubbing his bloodshot eyes.

"Dear Joe, we weren't the two of us who were caught on the night shift on Christmas Eve, there must have been a lot of customers like us in the cafeteria." Joseph said sleepily.

"I can't keep my eyes open, you come and drive when you go down the mountain." George said.

When the two of them rode down the mountain on their motorcycles, they didn't know that due north of the observation they were responsible for, a huge group of aircraft had invaded the radar's warning range, but the radar display that was turned off showed only pitch black.

Forty minutes later, the commander-in-chief of the first attack wave, Mitsu Fuchita, looked at the golden rising sun, the mustache on his lips trembled with excitement, and he couldn't help but pick up the microphone and say, "Look. The beautiful morning sun is more like our national flag. ”

All the pilots in the flight formation looked up to the left side of the plane, and sure enough, they saw a round of golden discs, except for one person.

Nobita sat in the middle seat of the plane, staring down at the silhouette of the battleship on the white paper in his hand. The mouth kept babbling.

"Enterprise number, enterprise number"

Nobita's muttering to himself, Izuki piloted the plane to follow the formation, crossing the winding coastline of Oahu and flying deep into Oahu.

Look at the peaceful atmosphere of Pearl Harbor. Looking at the rows of buildings, docks, and oil tanks, as well as the battleships parked in the harbor in an orderly manner, the smile on the corner of Fuchida Mitsuo's mouth became even brighter.

There were no aircraft interceptions, no screeching sirens, no flying anti-aircraft shells, everything said that it was a successful surprise attack.

Under Fuchida's order, the radioman behind him first issued an order to attack "suddenly, suddenly, suddenly", and then issued a code to announce victory, "tiger, tiger, tiger".

Although the attack had not yet begun, Fuchida saw that the American troops were defenseless. Knowing that the attack would be successful, he did not wait for the battle to begin, and impatiently ordered the victory code to be issued.

The 183 fighters were divided into three routes, and the 43 Zero fighters seized the advantageous altitude to ensure air supremacy.

Forty Type 97 torpedo planes and 49 Type 97 horizontal bombers flew to the pier to attack the warship, while 51 Type 99 dive bombers rushed to Hickem Airport, Wheeler Airport, and Ford Island Airport.

Joseph and George touched their round bellies and walked out of the cafeteria satisfied.

With George in front of Joseph, the two got on motorbikes and drove towards the dormitory building not far away, neither of them speaking. I just hope to be able to get to bed quickly and sleep beautifully.

A gust of wind blew over the two of them, almost removing the sailing hats from their heads.

The shrill roar of the engine was like a bucket of cold water poured on their heads, and the two of them shivered in unison.

Look at the fighter plane that flew almost close to the roof. George scolded: "A guy who has no public morality is making noise here so early." ”

Joseph was also taken aback, and shouted in annoyance: "Is that guy from Hainan Airlines or Army Airlines?" Make a note of his number, complain about it. ”

As soon as Joseph finished speaking, he saw a black dot thrown on the belly of the fighter plane that flew into the distance.

At the deafening explosion, Joseph's hand shook. The motorcycle under the crotch is parked in the middle of the road with a horizontal swing.

Stunned by the flickering light of fire and the black smoke rising into the sky, Joseph said, "George, tell me, what I saw is not real, that guy must have pressed the wrong button." ”

"That guy must have drunk too much, he's done."

A "buzz" group of warplanes flew over the two of them, and Joseph looked up at the flying warplanes, clearly seeing the red sunburst logo under the wings.

"They are Japanese, and we are being attacked." George shouted.

Almost at the same time, a terrible siren sounded from the tall control tower on Ford Island in the distance, and a burst of shouting was heard from the loudspeakers.

"Pearl Harbor was hit by an air raid! This is not a drill. Pearl Harbor was hit by an air raid! This is not a drill"

The sound of sirens and announcements went back and forth, but they could not stop the wreaking havoc of Japanese fighters.

"An aircraft carrier was found in front, isn't it Enterprise?" Izuki shouted excitedly.

Nobita hurriedly probed to the left, staring at the approaching aircraft carrier, and then looked down at the drawing in his hand.

"It's not Enterprise, it's Saratoga."

Izuki silently pulled the plane up and flew over the deck of the Saratoga.

"There's another aircraft carrier up ahead, isn't it Enterprise?"

After more than ten seconds, Nobita shouted, "It's not the Enterprise, it's the Lexington." ”

Izuki shook his head left and right in confusion, and then frowned and shouted, "There are only two aircraft carriers here, and the Enterprise is gone." ”

"I didn't see a third aircraft carrier either." Nobita shouted.

"The Saratoga was hit, it was two torpedoes." Kofu Bone Kawa shouted excitedly.

With his back to Nobita, he saw two Type 97 torpedoes deftly dive and drop bombs, two white sprays ejected from the port side of the Saratoga, the huge hull of the ship was shaking violently, and the sailors running around like headless flies on the deck staggered and staggered.

Izuki ignored Kofu Karukawa, but picked up the wireless phone and shouted, "Sakai-kun, let's attack the Lexington in front." ”

"Roger." Said Taro Sakai, the wingman pilot on the right side of the Izuki shirt.

Two torpedo planes cut through a black smoke screen, evading the sparse fire of American anti-aircraft guns, and rushed towards the huge hull of the Lexington.

The plane was lowered to a height of only sixty or seventy meters above the surface of the sea. Calculated the distance and angle, reached out and pulled the red joystick with his left hand to drop the torpedo.

Without the drag of the torpedo, the fuselage was lifted sharply, and the moment the plane turned. Out of the wood, he saw two torpedoes, one after the other, dragging a white trail and crashing into the Lexington.

Lexington couldn't run away, and Izumi confidently thought that hitting a fixed target like the USS Lexington would be easy for him who had been trained for a long time.

The plane had just turned its back to the Lexington, and the shouts of the Bone Doctor rang out almost simultaneously with the explosion.

"Hit."

Izuki was not interested in observing the results. shouted into the microphone: "Nobita, let's go back to the meeting point." ”

On the way to the return junction point, the three of them saw that the originally orderly port had long been unrecognizable at this time.

The harbor was full of black smoke clouds that reached into the sky, and on the water as far as the eye could see, a battleship was lying on its side on the sea and sinking, and the superstructure of a battleship next to him was on fire in many places, and most of the hull was shrouded in black smoke.

Nobita quickly identified the two battleships, and it was the battleship USS West Virginia that sank. Surrounded by fire was the battleship USS Tennessee.

Behind these two battleships, in the middle of the deck of the USS Lexington, there was an irregularly shaped opening.

An 800-kilogram armor-piercing projectile with a time-delay fuse pierced through two decks in succession and burrowed into the Lexington's body, causing an earth-shattering explosion.

On the port side of the ship, three torpedoes rushed towards the Lexington, and the continuous explosions left no sailors standing inside and outside the Lexington's hull.

In less than ten minutes, the Lexington ate five torpedoes and an 800-kilogram armor-piercing shell, and the battlecruiser-converted aircraft carrier simply could not withstand such a heavy blow.

Despite the efforts of the ship's sailors to rescue. Still unable to stop the boiling waters from pouring into the hull.

After another five or six minutes, the speed of the Lexington's left tilt suddenly accelerated, and the black smoke slapped on the surface of the sea, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Not far north of him. The USS Saratoga was also subjected to priority treatment by the Japanese naval aviation.

Three torpedoes and two bombs hit the Saratoga, and blazing flames filled the massive hull inside and out.

With fearless courage, the crew attempted to bring the fire under control, but the leaking aviation gasoline on the Saratoga shattered all their efforts.

The spread of gasoline vapor fueled the fire, causing a series of explosions that left the Saratoga's overwhelmed hull even more shattered, and the explosions and flames destroyed the crew's last vestiges of luck. They abandoned ship and fled.

Three or four minutes later, an unprecedented explosion erupted from an ammunition depot filled with aerial bombs, and almost half of the Saratoga shattered into the sea, while the rest rushed to the bottom of the sea with an indomitable momentum.

About half an hour after the attack was launched, the fighters of the first attack wave assembled and began to return home.

Mizu Fuchida and Yunakasa left statistical results.

The attack group suffered four torpedo planes, three fighters, and two bombers, but the results were amazing.

The battleship Arizona was hit by two torpedoes, and later hit by an 800-kilogram bomb and exploded in the ammunition compartment, causing a shocking explosion that sank the ship in a matter of minutes.

The West Virginia was torpedoed six times on the port side, and despite the efforts of the damage crew, it was unable to control the left-leaning trend and eventually capsized and sank in the sea.

The battleship Tennessee was hit by three armor-piercing bombs, and at the same time was squeezed by the sinking of the "West Virginia" on the outside, and was also affected by the flames of the explosion of the "Arizona" less than 30 meters behind, causing fires in many places in the superstructure, and the situation was precarious.

The battleship California was hit by three torpedoes under the bridge, under the No. 3 turret and in the middle of the port side, and an 800-kilogram bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the cabin, causing the bow to tilt and sink to the bottom of the sea.

The battleship Oklahoma was hit on the port side by three torpedoes one after another, and due to the ship's poor watertightness, the explosion shook many watertight doors, and the sea water rushed in, and the captain was not on the ship, and there was no one to command, and it sank quickly.

In order to avoid the raging fire of the nearby Arizona, the battleship Nevada left the anchorage backwards without the assistance of any tugboats, and rushed to the shoal southwest of Ford Island in the face of the pursuit of Japanese planes in the sky, risking a collision with the surrounding ships.

On the way to escape, after eating four bombs, the seriously injured Nevada decisively rushed to the shoal and ran aground, escaping the catastrophe of sinking.

With the addition of the two aircraft carriers that were taken care of, the first attack wave sank two aircraft carriers and four battleships, and severely damaged two battleships, not counting the rest of the results.

About 15 minutes after the first attack wave returned, 81 Type 99 dive bombers, 54 Type 97 horizontal bombers, and 36 Zero fighters of the second attack wave rushed to Pearl Harbor and launched an attack in the harbor under more intense anti-aircraft fire.

At this time, there were already sporadic US fighters taking off and engaging in heavy fire with the escorting Zero fighters, but more US planes were destroyed on the airfield.

North of Pearl Harbor, on the bridge of the USS Akagi, Nagumo looked at the telegram in his hand, and his face was full of flesh and there was no joy at all about the success of the surprise attack.

According to the battle report in his hand and the logo of the US capital ship drawn on the blackboard next to him, the USS Enterprise, the battleship USS Pennsylvania, and the battleship USS Maryland disappeared.

Nagumo Zhong knew early on that the number of enemy warships at the time of the surprise attack would be different from the information he received two days ago, and he was still hesitant in his heart.

The whereabouts of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier are unknown, its carrying capacity is around ninety aircraft, will its presence bring unexpected damage to the fleet?

After the second wave is completed, should the scheduled third wave be launched?

As the minutes ticked by, the first wave of attack aircraft was landing on the decks of various aircraft carriers, the fleet was filled with the cheers of ground crews, and the staff officers on the bridge were also elated by the success of the surprise attack.

The pilots jumped out of the plane, some went to the toilet, and more talked with each other about the battle.

Ground crews are racing against time to refuel and ammunition the aircraft.

Nagumo was hesitating to launch a third wave of attacks, when intelligence staff officer Ono Shosa hurried up to him, handed him a telegram with a strange expression, and whispered a few words to him.

Nagumo quickly read the telegram, and then said to the staff officer Yuan Tian beside him: "Inform all ships that the third wave of attacks will not change, and all fighters will attack as soon as they are replenished." ”

After Nagumo finished speaking, he looked down at the telegram and said, "General Rosen is really a lucky star of the empire. (To be continued.) )
