The Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft was a very advanced carrier-based attack aircraft when it was designed. I have to say that in some details, Japanese designers who are careful about budgets are still very creative.

Japan was one of the first countries to build aircraft carriers, and there is no doubt that it was at the forefront of the history of naval aviation in the world.

Therefore, the Japanese Navy is very experienced in the use of aircraft carriers.

Based on the experience summed up, the Japanese Navy found that it was very troublesome to deploy various types of attack aircraft, such as horizontal bombers and torpedo attack planes, on a small aircraft carrier.

Therefore, the Japanese blazed a trail and developed the 97 Ship Attack General Purpose Attack Aircraft. It can carry torpedoes and bombs and carry a variety of attack missions.

At that time, or in modern times 70 years later, this was a very advanced idea of carrier-based aircraft equipment. The United States, Great Britain and France and other aircraft carrier powers have proved the foresight of this design with their actions.

Of course, without modern radar and computer assistance, the multi-purpose of an attack aircraft in 1930 was not the aircraft themselves, but the elite pilots who flew them.

Imagine that the more functions of the aircraft, the more complex the training subjects of the pilots themselves, which have very high requirements for the training and supplementation of subsequent pilots.

It just so happens that Japan does not have the accumulation of this area...... This is also the main reason why the replenishment of attack aircraft pilots was completely cut off after the Japanese Navy lost too many pilots.

But now, Japan has not lost too many elite pilots, so the disadvantages are not yet visible.

It is precisely because of this that the advantages of multi-purpose attack aircraft, versatility and excellent attack methods, and a variety of attack methods, were vividly and vividly demonstrated during the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

A Japanese 97 attack pilot aimed at a huge battleship docked in the harbor, and his sight scale pressed against the battleship's ship's island, just right.

Then, he pressed the bomb dropping device, and a huge bomb detached from his plane, quickly fell, and crashed into the moored battleship.

"Boom!" As the bomb crashed into the compartment of the battleship, the time-delay fuse stopped working, and the bomb exploded in the battleship, destroying all the nearby compartments and various equipment at once.

The ship's heavy armor twisted in the explosion, and the battleship Arizona was already capsizing in the distance, and the battleship was just beginning to enter the water.

The battleship Pennsylvania was finished, and that was the first thought on the minds of all American sailors who saw it explode.

The huge explosion tore through the side of the battleship, and the speed at which the sea water poured into the battleship made the American officers and men standing on the shore feel a deep sense of despair.

The Japanese sneak attack came so suddenly that the American soldiers did not expect that they would suffer such a fierce attack on such a day.

The first batch of Japanese planes to take part in the attack was as many as 190, and the Japanese Navy increased the number of sorties this time in order to attack as many American warships anchored in the harbor as possible in the first surprise attack.

The USS Enterprise is slowly sinking, and so is the battleship Pennsylvania. The Japanese attack had just begun, and the United States had already lost three capital ships.

This rate of loss is unbearable for anyone. Admiral Kimmel, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Navy, who had been awakened by the sound of explosions and the ringing of telephones, had just stepped out of the house when he was told that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor.

"What are you kidding? The Japanese attacked the port? Did you organize troops to fight back? How many enemies are there? He looked at his subordinates with a frown, and opened his mouth to question the other party one after another.

His subordinates were obviously also a little dazed, and replied with a blank face: "Sir! I do not know! There were explosions everywhere and I don't know what was going on! ”

"What do you mean you don't know? Hurry up and figure out the ins and outs of the matter! Get your troops on the back burner right away! Fast! General Kimmel shouted a reprimand, and then led his guards to his headquarters.

In front of him, there were American officers running around asking about the situation, and some female secretaries who didn't know what was going on were looking at him in panic.

Just when the US top brass was still confused, the pilots of the Japanese naval air force set the target of their attack on the next US warship.

Docked next to the USS Enterprise, the battleship USS Maryland became the next target for Japanese aircraft, and torpedoes struck from the other direction, hitting the American battleship just in time.

The heavy armor prevented it from capsizing immediately, but the wounds were definitely not small. The sailors on the battleship fled on the deck in fright, and none of them even thought to return fire with the weapons around them.

Of course, it was not without people who fired back, the soldiers on the shore fired at the Japanese planes in the sky with rifles, and there were also sailors who were trying to find a way to return to their battleships to fight.

An American destroyer was the first to open fire, using the anti-aircraft guns equipped on the battleship, and opened fire into the sky.

However, such a counterattack was very small under the attack of the Japanese, and did not pose any decent threat to the Japanese attacking forces at all.

Watching one new and expensive battleship after another in their country struggling under the attack of the Japanese, every U.S. Navy officer and sailor was furious.

Unfortunately, anger is anger, and modern warfare cannot defeat a powerful opponent by virtue of anger alone.

In the angry gaze of the US Navy, the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Lexington, which was docked next to the two cruisers, was hit by two torpedoes.

Crying and howling did not stop the frantic attacks of the Japanese Navy, and the US Navy was completely thrown into disarray, and the battleships were hit one after another.

The battleship Arizona completely capsized, and the sea water next to the battleship was tumbling, as if it were boiling.

The corpses of sailors floating on the surface of the sea, like ants in a flood, look dense and sad.

Blood was mixed with the heavy oil leaked from the battleship, and in an instant there was no trace of red, the sea water was contaminated with oil, and the combustion explosion filled the entire harbor.

"Help! Help me! An American soldier was struggling in the sea, he was crying out desperately, but the sea water poured into his mouth.

There are too many sailors who can't swim, and on a huge battleship, there will always be two or three unlucky people, landlubbers who can't swim.

However, after they fall overboard, the sea will not sympathize with any of the tiny human beings. The salty sea devours every life, and it has always been, without the slightest hint of mercy.

"Bastard! Bastard! An American soldier who was originally on duty pulled the bolt on the Springfield rifle in his hand and cursed repeatedly.

And beside him, his comrades-in-arms who had already been hit by bullets were lying on the ground, and their bodies had begun to get cold.

In the distant sky, the Zero fighters were like vultures, diving down one after another, firing at the American soldiers on the dock with cannons and machine guns.

There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere, buildings that didn't know why they were on fire, and thick smoke billowed all over the harbor.

The Americans lost this battle, and they lost it from the very beginning. Until they lost to the fullest, they were not ready to fight the loss.

Mitsuo Fuchida, the commander of the Japanese 1st Attack Echelon hovering in the sky, and Mitsuo Fuchida, who was in charge of the front-line command in the cabin, grabbed the radio and shouted the most famous line: "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

……

Adrift on the Japanese battleship on the outskirts of Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto Isoroku waited for the news of victory with his hands behind his back.

This time, he did his best, gambling on the future of the Japanese Empire. So he seems to be very calm, but in fact he is very nervous at this moment.

If this attack fails, the Japanese Navy will face an all-out retaliation from the US Navy.

If it were the U.S. Navy in its heyday, the Japanese Navy would not be sure to win! Even, at this stage, there is no ability to defend.

This is because any subsequent Japanese attack and deduction is based on the premise that the fleet won at Pearl Harbor this time.

"God bless my emperor...... Let's hope that the Japanese Empire will once again overcome its fate! Yamamoto closed his eyes and prayed frantically in his heart.

"Your Excellency, General!" His subordinate general walked into the headquarters, stood behind Yamamoto Fifty-six, bowed his head and reported: "The front-line troops have sent back news...... The content is a symbol of success codenamed 'Tiger!' Tiger! Tiger! ’。 We...... Won! ”

"Did you win?" Yamamoto Fifty-six, who opened his eyes and revealed a golden light, muttered softly in his mouth, nodded and said, "Very good!" ”

Anyway, he won the bet! Once again, Japan has defeated a formidable opponent and fought hard to win its own brilliant tomorrow.

What a poignant script, if it can be made into a movie, it will definitely cause a sensation in China, right?

The samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, the loyal and brave generals of His Majesty the Emperor, once again continued the myth of the undefeated empire...... It's really good to think about.

Slightly intoxicated for a moment, Yamamoto Fifty-six walked out of his beautiful fantasy, he didn't look back, and ordered the officer behind him: "Order Nagumo Tadaichi, dispatch the second wave of attack echelons, and expand the results!" ”

"Hey!" The officer bent down and bowed his head, and after answering a word, he turned and walked out of Yamamoto's operations command room.

"For the rest, it's up to this......" Turning his gaze away from the sea, Yamamoto Fifty-six lowered his head and looked at the extremely secret document in German on the table in front of him......
