601 Sneak Attack

The Japanese fleet had actually left port, and one day in mid-April, it had calculated the time and began to carry out a sneak attack plan that had changed its flavor.

Li Le, who has been stunned by the unrecognizable history in front of him, now does not know whether and when the Japanese will attack Pearl Harbor in the United States.

If he had known that the Japanese had drawn up a plan for a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor more than 20 days after the start of the Soviet-German war, he would definitely have greeted the 18th generation of the Japanese emperor's ancestors in his heart.

These high-ranking officials in Japan are absolutely the best to challenge the impossible, and it is true that the world has as big a dream as possible.

What he didn't know was that because the German aircraft carrier Zeppelin had shined in the Battle of the Atlantic, the Japanese had made even more exaggerated changes to the entire sneak attack plan this time.

Originally, the four Japanese aircraft carriers that participated in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor were all dispatched by Japan this time, not to mention that two other small aircraft carriers were added.

In one fell swoop, the number of aircraft carriers participating in the war was increased to six, and two battleships were reduced to accompany him - Yamamoto Isoroku was a ruin this time, and he was ready to give the United States a hard blow.

Regardless of the outcome of the Pearl Harbor attack, as long as the flames of war at Pearl Harbor burn and the war between Japan and the United States begins, American industry will be running at full power......

When the time comes, not to mention Japan, a small country, even Germany, a behemoth, will not have a good time.

Even if Japan will have some gains in the early stage, if Germany does not seize the time to complete the war against the Soviet Union, then the layout will really be overturned by the Americans!

I don't know if Li Le is going to follow in Hitler's footsteps again, and he is besieged in the basement by the army and shoots himself in the head.

As a time-traveler in later generations, Li Le certainly knew that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor, which was a flea on a bald man's head, and it was an obvious thing, but what Li Le didn't know was when Japan would do this after he changed history.

Yes, without a single time, without time, the news is worthless on the German side – neither an adequate response nor any benefit from it.

How was he going to inform Adrian? Tell him: the Japanese could launch an attack on the United States any day in 1941?

This kind of intelligence, like the analysis of the battle situation of the Supreme Command, has almost no reference value......

At this time, the six aircraft carriers that Japan had painstakingly managed, the Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Feilong, Xianghe, and Zuizuru were already in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor.

The Japanese Navy is the first country in the world to expand the number of aircraft carriers to more than 10 aircraft carriers, including the several other aircraft carriers that were built in the dockyard due to the performance of the German Navy.

These carriers can carry more than 80 aircraft of various types, which can be regarded as the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world currently in production.

However, these advanced warships will definitely not be able to catch up with the Battle of Pearl Harbor this time because of time.

The Japanese army used almost all of its strength, following the British surprise attack on Taranto, and organized a sneak attack strategy led by aircraft carriers.

At this moment, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, was standing on Cambridge and discussing with the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, Nagumo Nakakachi, the specific action steps of the Japanese fleet's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

"General, our submarines are already cruising around Oahu......," one of the generals pointed to the map, describing the activities of the submarine forces.

The officer in charge of intelligence said to Yamamoto Isoroku according to the code note he received: "Your Excellency General! Two hours ago, the main force of the U.S. fleet was still in Oahu's military port. ”

The momentum of his introduction is like a rainbow, as if he is carrying background music, which makes people feel very excited when they listen to what he says.

"These U.S. warships still didn't notice our movements, and in a few dozen minutes, we were within the attack radius of the carrier-based aircraft." Nagumo Tadaichi was clearly confident in this attack plan, because he had enough capital to be proud of.

Japan's aviation industry got off to a very early start, and with famous engineers such as Jiro Horikoshi, in 1941, the Japanese aircraft were quite powerful.

With the new aluminum-magnesium alloy material, Japanese aircraft design engineers, under the leadership of Jiro Horikoshi, have successfully designed a new fighter that is enough to rewrite world history!

The Japanese Navy had high hopes for this staggering statistic, and because it was about to reach 1939, which was the year 2600 of the Japanese chronicle, and in order to distinguish the Type 99 fighters that already existed, it was named the Type Zero.

Because of its light fuselage, the Zero fighter has a staggering range of nearly 2,000 kilometers, which greatly exceeds the F-190T fighter used by the German Navy, and can make the Japanese Navy's strike radius farther and more threatening.

Moreover, this fighter has good flight performance, has extremely high flight speed and a very small turning radius, and has excellent grappling performance.

The main reason is that the new aluminum alloy used in this aircraft is very light, so that the empty weight of this aircraft is only more than 1 ton.

This allows the use of less powerful engines, which are certainly more fuel-efficient, and because of the small wing load, the turning radius of the aircraft is extremely small, and the speed is very considerable due to the weight.

In fact, if these advantages are worn out, they are worthless - it is nothing more than exchanging weight for performance, and it has gone to the extreme on the road of weight loss!

No aircraft can combine all kinds of performance advantages, but the Zero fighter, after sacrificing some of the more subtle features, creates a false impression of being almost omnipotent.

It is a little regrettable that because of the vicious competition between each other all along, the Japanese army and navy have always looked down on each other.

In other words, even though the Japanese Navy has mass-produced hundreds of self-produced Zero fighters, the Japanese Army's most elite flying squadron can still only be equipped with the slightly backward KI-43.

There are too many such examples, such as the Japanese Army's successful imitation of a cannon produced by a French company and then turning a blind eye to the needs of the Navy.

At the same time, the backbone of the Japanese Navy was even harder, and instead of begging the army, they went to Switzerland and bought the drawings of the same cannon for copying......

"After this battle, we can guarantee our advantage in the Western Pacific from the first half of the year to the year, and after this time, our life may not be stronger than it is now." As one of the top leaders of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto Isoroku still has a relatively good understanding of the powerful US Navy.

He is not as blindly confident as other Japanese generals, because he is a Japanese general who has personally visited the United States and knows the United States very well.

Including the scale of industrial production in the United States, shipbuilding capacity, he is very clear. The United States is much, much stronger than Japan imagined, and this is not something that can be changed by a successful attack.

Japan has a habit of collecting detailed intelligence on hostile countries, and before the First Sino-Japanese War, they had investigated the situation in China in a clear way.

They knew everything about military strength, war potential, and even the determination of the top brass and the capabilities of the front-line commanders were investigated in detail.

However, after the investigation, Yamamoto became less and less confident about defeating the United States, and he saw the Pearl Harbor attack as a gamble.

After all, the Germans had already won a bet in Africa before Japan set up a bet on Pearl Harbor – which gave Yamamoto a lot of inspiration and gave him hope for his victory.

"General! Don't be so pessimistic! The Imperial Japanese Navy was invincible! Nagumo Zhongyi comforted the somewhat absent-minded Yamamoto Fifty-six.

Those who are familiar with Japanese history know that the rise of Japan was based on the defeat of the Qing Navy by the Japanese Navy; And then the Japanese navy defeated the powerful Tsarist Russian navy.

In everyone's opinion, Japan's world hegemony this time will also be based on the fact that the Combined Fleet defeated the US Navy.

Yamamoto's determination to attack Pearl Harbor was not because he blindly believed that the Japanese Navy could easily win.

The reason for his surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was very simple: there was no way back now, and if this knife was not stabbed at the United States, then Japan would be close to the death of the country.

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded and gave the combat order to attack: "Order your aviation, prepare to start the battle plan!" Remember, the Pacific Fleet of the United States is incomparably annihilated! ”

"Hey! Your Excellency, General! Nanyun Li bowed his head: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

"All the troops! God bless my emperor! Yamamoto said in a deep voice.

"The Great Japanese Empire! Martial arts for a long time! Nagumo bent down and replied with a bow.

With the first rays of the morning sun, on the decks of Japanese aircraft carriers, the pilots began to stand in two rows.

The pilots of the first platoon crouched on the deck with their command knives in their hands; The pilots of the second platoon stood straight with their command knives.

They faced the lens of the photographer accompanying the army and left a group photo of themselves before the battle. The atmosphere was very solemn, and everyone held their chins high.

"Bang!" With the explosion of the magnesium lamp, this group of fanatical pilots left a childish young face in the photo.

With the outbreak of war, they did not know when they would die, but they all knew that they would be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and that they would fight for their homeland.

After the disbandment, the pilots began to look for their own aircraft. They started their planes and, in the cockpit, tied a white strap to their foreheads.

Whether their enemies knew it or not, for these Japanese pilots, their war began on April 11, 1941, a sunny morning.
