The revelation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor undoubtedly shocked the whole world. It's just that compared with earlier, the news of the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was transmitted to China faster than expected.

When the Wolf Nose Intelligence Station in Hawaii sent an encrypted telegram about the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Zhao Tiehu asked Chen Wan to send the telegram to Yan'an and Chongqing immediately. Receiving this news, Yan'an and Chongqing were also very shocked.

Even when Chongqing received this telegram, Dai Li said in disbelief: "Is the little devil crazy? ”

After saying this, Dai Li, personally sent this information to the presidential palace. Lao Jiang, who heard the news, also said with a shocked face: "Has the news been confirmed?" Pearl Harbor, the home port of the U.S. Pacific Fleet? ”

'Yes, take a seat! Although the information has not been confirmed at the moment, this information was forwarded from Manila, and I believe that it should not be false. It seems that this time we can really fight side by side with the Americans. ’

In fact, the Nationalist Government gradually felt the change in the attitude of the Americans towards the War of Resistance Against Japan. Even in Kunming, the U.S. military has sent pilots to fight side by side with the pilots of the Chung Yen Army against Japanese fighters.

However, the Japanese army's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor undoubtedly drew the United States completely into the camp of the hostile countries. This also means that in the future, the British and American sides will continue to give greater support and woo to the Nationalist Government.

After thinking about it, he said, "Confirm this news first!" As for what comes next, let's look at the opinion of the Americans first. It seems that this time, the Americans will not be able to sit on the sidelines and will have to participate in this war. ”

When Lao Chiang urgently convened a meeting of military and political officials to discuss the impact of the US army's entry into the war on the Nationalist Government, Yan'an also held an emergency meeting to discuss the possible changes in the War of Resistance against Japan.

When the whole world was shocked by this rapidly spreading news, Zhao Tiehu gave the wolf's den in Indonesia and Xinjiapo an order to prepare for battle. The pilots who had been dispatched to the wolf's den earlier to stand by were also ready to take to the air at any time.

For Zhao Tiehu, the Pearl Harbor incident broke out as scheduled, and he realized that the Japanese army would carry out multi-point attacks on Southeast Asian countries next. Zhao Tiehu can't manage other places, and the only place he can manage may be Davao.

On the night of the Japanese air raid on Pearl Harbor, the US troops stationed in the Philippines were undoubtedly in mourning. The garrisons that can be stationed in various cities in Mindanao have begun to carry out emergency deployment, preparing to fight street battles with the little devils in these cities.

As for the formation of US fighters deployed in Mindanao, it was transferred in the afternoon of the same day, and all these US fighters were transferred to an underground airfield in the jungle. And on the airfield of the US military, a large number of 'planes' also appeared overnight.

Seeing this scene, the U.S. troops, who were left to cooperate with the Chinese troops, were also surprised and said, "Oh my God! You're so fast that you can build so many planes overnight. But what is the purpose of this? ”

'Let the Japanese planes blow up!' If they don't let them blow up these planes, how can they believe that our fighters were destroyed by them? Compared with the huge fighter group of the Japanese army, the aircraft formation deployed on the island cannot win! ’

These planes that were placed at the airport overnight were all made by Zhao Tiehu in advance according to the model of the US military. The real plane was transferred to the jungle airfield, but the wooden plane was still in the airfield.

If Zhao Tiehu's memory is correct, the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they organized a large number of aircraft to carry out air strikes on the US troops stationed in the Philippines and the British troops stationed in Xinjiapo. The purpose of this is very simple, that is, to fight for air supremacy.

Compared with the historical U.S. military stationed in the Philippines, it was caught off guard by the surprise attack of the Japanese army. As a result, their airfields and fleets on Luzon were destroyed by the Japanese bomber group before they could make a counterattack. And this time, the Japanese army naturally could not succeed.

When the Japanese fleet stationed in the Ryukyus assembled with naval air forces and advanced towards Philippine and Shinkapo. Zhao Tiehu, who got the information, also forwarded this information to the US military stationed in the Philippines and the British army stationed in the new country.

In fact, even before the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the Philippine Islands, the Japanese sent small elite troops to launch a sneak attack on the outlying islands from Luzon. The large number of islands in the Philippines also gave the Japanese army such an opportunity.

When the Japanese army deployed a sneak attack on the Philippines, Davao, where Zhao Tiehu focused on defense, also became a key place for the Japanese army to attack. The reason is simple, Davao Town has an airfield, and the size of the town is suitable for the Japanese army to be stationed in large forces.

To the regret of the Japanese army, the intelligence officers they sent to Davao earlier failed to send back timely and effective information. Even according to the current situation in the hands of the Japanese army, Mindanao has almost become the world of the Chinese.

In view of this situation, the Japanese commanders who were responsible for attacking Mindanao still felt very confident. In the eyes of the Japanese commanders, the Chinese anti-Japanese war troops made them defeated, and what was there to fear about a group of Chinese who fled to Nanyang?

It was precisely because of this psychology that the Japanese air force bomber group carried out bombing of targets in the Philippines. In the end, most of the fighters were arranged to attack the US airfield and military port on Luzon.

Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the number of Japanese air force planes responsible for bombing Mindanao should also be greater than the number of US fighters deployed on Mindanao. After all, the Japanese army wanted more air supremacy in World War I.

It's just that when the Japanese fighters took off from the aircraft carrier, no one knew that under the sea not far from the aircraft carrier formation, two submarines were quietly lurking. Immediately after the fighter took off, the submarine sent a telegram.

Zhao Tiehu, who was sitting in the base camp of the wolf warriors, immediately said after receiving the telegram: "Send a telegram to Manila, the Japanese fighter group has taken off. It is believed that it will not be long before they arrive in Luzon and ask them to prepare for battle. ”

'Yes, wolf's head! ’

After the telegram was sent to MacArthur, MacArthur also said in due course: "Order our fighter group to take off and prepare to intercept the Japanese fighter formation off the island." The fleet sailed out of the harbor and prepared to engage the Japanese Bowl Navy! ”

MacArthur did not hesitate at all, and sent a group of fighters to meet the fleet. The Japanese army also did not expect that the US military in the Philippines would react so quickly. When the two groups of planes meet in the air, an air battle is inevitable.

It's just that the US military stationed in the Philippines seems to be inferior to the Japanese fighter with the Zero fighter in terms of both quantity and quality. Looking at the downed fighters of our own country, the officers and men of the US fleet who were watching the battle nearby also felt heavy.

But for the Japanese troops who carried out the bombing mission, they did not expect the US military to react so quickly. Originally, they were planning to carry out a sneak attack, but they didn't expect to almost become the target of the sneak attack.

Fortunately, the aviation forces were powerful, and in the end they won the air battle. After shooting down many US fighters, the remaining US fighters had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield. As soon as the US fighter plane returned to the airport, the Japanese fighter plane also followed.

For a time, the airfields and ports built by the US military on Luzon Island soon sounded the sound of anti-aircraft shells. Despite the strong anti-aircraft firepower, the air defense units of the US army also suffered heavy losses in the face of Japanese aircraft groups carrying out bombing missions in multiple formations.

In the face of such a large-scale air raid organized by the Japanese army, MacArthur was also unexpected. Seeing that the aircraft group and the anti-aircraft fire in the harbor were all destroyed by the Japanese bomber group, MacArthur also knew that it would be difficult to do next.

Looking at a map of Luzon, MacArthur began to deploy a ground interdiction plan. In his opinion, after losing air supremacy, their naval formations will not be able to hold up for too long. To this end, MacArthur ordered the navy to be temporarily hidden.

When Luzon was in the midst of the flames of war, the Japanese bomber group also arrived over Mindanao. Looking at the airfield below, the Japanese bomber formation quickly carried out the bombing.

Even to the hard work of the Japanese pilots on bombing missions, it was when they raided the airfield. You can also see the guards below the airport, seemingly fleeing in a hurry.

'These incompetent U.S. troops! Let's start bombing our bomber hort! ’

As the bombers successfully dumped the bombs, the U.S. airfield in Davao was quickly reduced to a sea of fire. It was not the sound of explosions, but also the planes that were blown up, which made the Japanese pilots feel very happy.

The victory in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the naval air force in Japan. Even in the eyes of many admirals, they overestimated the strength of the American military. The U.S. military seems to be powerful, but in fact it is a paper tiger.

After all, compared with the Japanese, army, navy, and air force, most of them have rich experience in actual combat in recent years by virtue of their operations against China. On the other hand, although the US military, which is not weak, has a large number of troops, most of them lack actual combat experience.

After destroying the U.S. airfield in Mindanao, Japanese bomber groups began bombing defensive positions outside Davao Harbor. Tons of bombs rained down, turning the entire defensive position in front of Davao into shambles.

However, to the confusion of the Japanese army, when they flew over the town, they found that the town looked very empty. The town, which was supposed to be lively, seemed to have become an empty city, and there was no human activity on the ground at all.

In response to this situation, a pilot soon offered to fly to the jungle behind the town to have a look. But to the frustration of the little devil pilots, when they flew to the jungle area, they still found nothing.

The reason is simple: the jungle vegetation on Mindanao is so dense that they can't see the ground just by their aerial reconnaissance. Therefore, these Japanese reconnaissance planes had no choice but to return in the end.

Knowing that the U.S. warplanes and the airfield and port on Mindanao had been successfully destroyed, the Japanese commander in charge of attacking Davao quickly issued an order to carry out the landing operation. After all, the U.S. military in Manila is now overwhelmed.

In this case, if they can establish a forward position in Davao Mindanao, whether they attack Manila or Borneo, it will play a very important role. And this head of attacking the Philippine is still very tempting!
