"The intelligence has been determined." At this time, it was already night, and the bridge of the Akagi was brightly lit, and Nagumo Tadaichi looked at the people present, including the commanders who had come from other aircraft carriers, and convened this emergency meeting.

"We can't send telegrams to our homeland, or we'll expose our whereabouts." Nagumo Tadaichi said: "In Pearl Harbor, the American battleships were all moored there, but the only thing missing was the American aircraft carrier. ”

"The Enterprise and the Lexington, this morning, sailed out of Pearl Harbor and headed east along the course with the goal of returning to the continental United States, while their Saratoga is returning from San Diego, the continental United States, and is expected to arrive at Pearl Harbor in more than ten days."

The Enterprise and the Lexington, which were discovered by their carrier-based aircraft after searching the sea, and the Saratoga, which were observed by spies in the continental United States, are now converging on the fleet, and this news is a new problem for them.

The aircraft carriers are not there, and are they still attacking according to the plan?

"The original plan cannot be changed, we should move on, although the American aircraft carrier is not there, we have a large number of other targets waiting to be destroyed." This was stated by the commander of the 1st Destroyer Squadron, Rear Admiral Omori Sentaro.

Now that they are all out, where can they go back empty-handed, and besides, it is not appropriate to stay here for a few more days, and they will be discovered by the Americans at any time.

Keep moving according to the original plan!

"No, the American aircraft carrier is our biggest threat, and we must destroy the American aircraft carrier in one fell swoop!" Another officer said: "We must not let go of the American aircraft carrier!" ”

Suddenly, the contradiction arose, and everyone was according to their own point of view, the voice became louder and louder, and the quarrel was inextricably linked, Nagumo Zhongichi, I don't know what to do.

"I propose that we divide one aircraft carrier and two destroyers into a new formation to catch up with the American aircraft carriers." It was at this point that Rudel continued to make his point.

Separate an aircraft carrier! There are not enough carrier-based aircraft for an aircraft carrier, but if it is a sneak attack, it can be completely successful, and Rudel is very confident in the bombs provided by his own side to specialize in anti-warship, and under dive bombing, one can kill an aircraft carrier!

One aircraft carrier flying more than a dozen Stuka bombers is enough to destroy the formation of two aircraft carriers on the other side.

As for the Saratoga, unfortunately, it can only be saved for later, but the Enterprise and the Lexington, they can't be allowed to continue to get away!

"No, we can't divide our forces, it's a big taboo, and we're going to concentrate all our forces on Pearl Harbor." Immediately, there was opposition.

The navy of the island country is not very powerful, and this time it has mobilized six aircraft carriers to come over, and it has done its best, and the combat objectives have long been formulated, and the carrier-based aircraft on each aircraft carrier have been assigned targets.

No, of course not!

"Our main six aircraft carriers must be together, and if they are separated, they will not be able to concentrate all their strength, and moreover, they may suffer losses." Nagumo Tadaichi said.

The latter sentence is the main thing, the fleet formation is together, it is easy to twist into a rope, if you separate one aircraft carrier, against the two aircraft carriers of the Americans, if you don't do it well, you will be sunk by others!

Nagumo Tadaichi can't afford to be responsible, he has always been a cautious person.

Rudell shook his head: "In that case, then send the Tatsuda Maru out!" In this way, you don't have to worry about damage to the capital ships, and you can have spare strength to strike at the US aircraft carrier group, how about it? ”

The Tatsuda Maru, a German oil tanker, was converted into an aircraft carrier, with only fifteen Stuka bombers on board, which was used as a reserve, and now, Rudel proposed to let this aircraft carrier go after it, even if it was sunk by the other side, it would not be too much loss, but if the sneak attack was successful, it would be a great achievement!

"I don't know the speed of the Tatsuda Maru, can I catch up?" There are still doubts.

"What's that? If you can't catch up, the plane will always catch up, right? As long as you can know the other party's route, there is hope. Rudel said, "You people, you can't do both, this can't work, that can't do either!" ”

For a long time, the attitude of the head of state Ciric was to look down on the island country, and now, Rudel finally understood that the lower-level soldiers of the island country are not afraid of death, and they dare to rush forward in any situation, and many of the advantages achieved by the island country are made up by lower-level officers.

And when it comes to the high-level of the island country, it will not work, always cowering, hesitating, this time can risk a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, then I don't know how determined it is, if there is no pheasant fifty-six, this action is absolutely impossible.

At this time, Rudel really wanted to stand by and watch, but he was a man of general knowledge.

The war between the island country and the United States is of great significance to Germany, and Germany's naval brutality needs time to accumulate, and this time is given by the island country, and this war is a crucial war!

"If you still don't dare, then I'll go on the Tatsuda Maru and help direct the carrier-based aircraft on the Tatsuda Maru to bomb the American aircraft carriers." Rudel said: "If there is a pilot problem, I can also take the plane into the air, how about it? ”

This is a war between the island nation and the United States, but it has allowed a German to go ahead, and it shows his own cowardly behavior, and everyone present can't hold their faces.

"Okay, then follow Advisor Rudel's words." Nagumo Tadaichi said: "Konishi dignitaries Navy Osa, in charge of commanding the Tatsuda Maru, you want to start attacking after we send a signal here, let us act at the same time and blow up the US Pacific Fleet!" ”

With the order of Nagumo Tadaichi, the plan for the bombing of Pearl Harbor was revised, and in the dark, the Tatsuda Maru, which was sailing at the rear of the formation, drove away from the formation at full speed.

With the roar of high-speed diesel engines and black smoke coming out of the chimney, the Tatsuda Maru continued to sail at maximum speed, despite the staggering consumption of fuel.

On the ship, the carrier-based aircraft unit, which received the new order, was extremely excited.

"Refresh the target, we are going to attack the aircraft carriers of the Americans!" The 50th squad's flying cao Changjin Fujizaburo said to his subordinates: "Cheer me up, if something happens, even if it hits, I will sink the American aircraft carrier!" ”

There are not many pilots who can go to Germany for training, because the asking price in Germany is too high, and most pilots still fly in their home country and are taught by pilots who have returned from studying in Germany.

Therefore, they always feel that they are inferior, especially when they are deployed to the Tatsuda Maru, a nondescript aircraft carrier, converted from an oil tanker, and the speed is as slow as a snail, and they feel even more that they are second-line troops.

And now they got the most difficult task, to bomb the aircraft carriers of the Americans!

"There are only two PC1000RS bombs on our warship, which must be used by the most experienced pilots, and they must not be wasted." Saburo Kondo said.
