On the evening of 1 July, the mobile unit of the Japanese army Nagumo Tadaichi set out from Yokosuka and Saeki Bay in three directions with an advance fleet of 27 submarines and five special submarines to Hawaii to undertake the task of reconnaissance, surveillance, and interception of the US fleet.

Although some submarines were discovered by the US military, the Pearl Harbor garrison did not pay attention to it and did not pay attention to it.

It was not until 6 a.m. on 2 July that the Japanese fleet, composed of six aircraft carriers, set out from Single-Crown Bay, secretly marched along the northern route, and went to the predetermined sea area north of Oahu to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

At 6:42 a.m., the USS Ward reported that they had attacked an unidentified foreign submarine.

At 6:50 a.m., inside Pearl Harbor, the sun was warm and the sea was calm. Some of the officers and men who got up early were having breakfast, and some of the soldiers from special posts had already gone to their posts one after another.

Two radar soldiers lazily walked into the radar station to take over the night shift there.

"Hey, wake up! Let's go back to the barracks and sleep, we're going to change shifts. "The two soldiers who changed shifts were no longer surprised by the fact that the soldiers fell asleep during duty at the radar station.

"Hah...... You're coming. The sleeping soldier, who was woken up, stretched and said to the shift changer: "Then leave it to you, I'll go back and go back to sleep." ”

In response to him, the expressions of the two people in front of him were almost demented.

"Hey! Talk about it! The two of us go back, you guys take over. The soldier, who had fully woken up, waved his arm at the two people in front of him with inexplicably dull expressions.

"Hey......" Seeing that the other party still didn't reply, the waving soldier finally noticed that something was wrong. Following the gaze of the two opposites, he turned around and looked at the radar display.

"God!" It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look scares him half to death.

Because he was asleep, the red dots that had appeared densely on the radar display screen were not reported.

In an instant, the drowsiness caused by drinking on duty last night has now disappeared all at once.

Enemy attack!

Reacting, he quickly rushed to the side of the telephone and made a call to the air defense command.

"A large number of unidentified aircraft have been spotted in northern Oahu!"

At this moment, on the sea outside Pearl Harbor, the sound of seagulls is heard, and the winter sun slowly rises on the horizon, and it is still peaceful and calm.

The commander of Pearl Harbor, General Stark, was bored playing with the new lighters he had brought from Los Angeles, glancing out the window from time to time.

The daily dull life in the barracks made him feel that it was pointless to urge the soldiers to strictly abide by military discipline. Therefore, even if he saw that the officers and soldiers under his command were not in place when it was time to take up their posts, he didn't bother to urge.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Due to the large fleet of planes shown by the radar, the radar soldiers were very panicked when they came back to their senses and picked up the phone, and even too nervous that the phone did not hold it steady several times.

"Report to the Commander! A large number of unidentified planes have been spotted in northern Oahu! ”

General Stark, who was accustomed to shouting "The wolf is coming", was not alert at this time, on the contrary, he was a little annoyed by the little soldier who disturbed him listening to music.

He remembers a friend who manages the bomber army telling him that whenever they fly from the continental United States to Hawaii, there is often a possibility of giving surprise exercises to troops near the waterway.

Wait, something is wrong!

If it were a drill, a commander of his level shouldn't have heard the slightest rumor!

"Damn it!" Stark, who realized that things might not be simple, was suddenly enveloped by an ominous premonition.

But Starck thought about it, and since the war of the 19th century, no country had dared to act against the United States itself. The news reported by the radar station this time may just be an accident caused by poor communication.

After all, Starck is still stubborn in his belief that no country will do anything to a neutral and powerful United States at the moment. Isn't it stupid to push a neutral power against the enemy?

He thought that maybe it was a B-17 bomber from the continental United States that was inspected, but he didn't receive the relevant notice, causing such a misunderstanding. So, Starkey even ordered the radar station to be temporarily closed.

Seven forty-five a.m.

The USS Ward destroyer's report on the attack on the submarine finally reached the US command after a series of reviews.

But it was too late, and outside the headquarters, a dense group of aircraft had already appeared at the end of the field of vision.

These fighters are obviously not like the Americans' own P-40 fighters, and in the binoculars, many American officers can already see the huge red sunburst flag painted on the wings.

This is a Japanese plane!

Those crazy little dwarfs, who have not yet recovered from the quagmire of war on the Asian continent, are now raiding US military bases in the Pacific without warning?!

At this moment, countless American officers and men were finally completely shocked by the arrogance and audacity of the Japanese.

......The air defense siren, which should have been sounded a long time ago, finally sounded belatedly at this time.

"This is not an exercise, this is not a drill, it is an air raid ......" During the broadcast, there was a huge change that made countless officers and men difficult to accept for a while.

Just the day before, they thought that they were outside the war, that they were the army of a safe neutral country, and that there would be no danger. But at this moment, the wrong idea was broken.

......

At the same time that the Americans were shocked by the madness of the Japanese, the Japanese pilots, who had already approached the target, were also surprised by the strength of the American army.

In Pearl Harbor, there were 8 battleships, 3 light cruisers, 3 seaplane supply ships, and 29 destroyers.

And this does not include Pearl Harbor, the 4 light cruisers and 3 destroyers at Pearl Harbor.

Just one military port has such a huge fleet staying. The most crucial thing was that the Japanese pilots did not find the three US aircraft carriers that were repeatedly required in the combat instructions to be the first to gather fire and sink.

Excluding the aircraft carrier fleet, there is still such a powerful lineup of warships. Americans, they are really rich!

Surprise to surprise, the Japanese air force did not delay in a daze like the American soldiers who had no experience in war.

The task in their hands can be said to have not fallen behind at all. With the sound of "..... and feet", huge bombs rushed along the parabolic trajectory towards the dense US warships below.

"Boom! Rumble! ...... Rumble! With the loud explosion, the American sailors finally figured out the situation.

This time, it's really not a drill!
