Under the black night, the mournful air raid sirens sounded throughout the island, the bright beams of light from the searchlights moved in the sky, and after a while, the sound of dense anti-aircraft artillery sounded, mixed with the sound of machine gun fire, and countless dark red dots rose from the ground, the scene was undoubtedly very spectacular, but at this time how many people were in the mood to enjoy it?

Before long, the loud sound of bomb explosions began to join the noise of the night, and the explosions made the world light and dark. As time went on, more and more houses caught fire, and the fire gradually spread to the city of Honolulu, and the residents spontaneously formed a fire brigade, but then the Japanese soldiers who arrived brutally dispersed the gathered crowd because they were afraid that the residents would riot together......

The night air raids of the Germans lasted only an hour, and the number of aircraft involved in the air raids was not very large. After the German fleet flew away, the air raid sirens were quickly lifted and the city burned silently in flames, but the restless night was far from over. Two hours later, the terrified Honolulu residents were driven from their homes by Japanese soldiers to a plaza near the pier, where the beams of searchlights illuminated it as bright as daytime.

Ropes had been placed on the five gallows where criminals were executed, and the heavily armed Japanese soldiers with their wolfdogs surrounded the entire square.

On one side of the gallows, more than 30 scarred and embarrassed-looking yellows and whites sat on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, all dressed in civilian clothes, some about to enter old age, some were seventeen or eighteen years old, some were polite and wore gold-rimmed glasses, and some had stubble beards and shaggy hair.

For the locals who gradually gathered in the square, every face here was familiar to them. Some of these people are local doctors, some are restaurant owners or waiters, some are dock porters, and many are small traders, in fact, many people know that they all have a common identity secretly. That is the member of the Hawaiian Underground Resistance.

After seeing that there were about thousands of inhabitants gathered in the square, a Japanese officer swaggered up to the high platform with a saber at his waist in one hand, took a simple loudspeaker made of iron from his men, and said loudly in somewhat broken English:

"Listen up, everyone! It is a heinous crime for these people to dare to collude with the Germans to offend our Imperial Japanese Army, so I sentence them to death by hanging on behalf of the Imperial Government of Japan! ”

Before the Japanese officer could speak, there was already a buzz below, and the men exchanged heads. Some women, including their husbands, brothers, fathers and even children, were already sobbing.

After waiting for about a minute, the officer shouted contentedly, "Silence! Be quiet! ”

"Although we have been attacked by the Germans today, the Imperial Japanese Army has effectively counterattacked and dealt a head-on blow to the invading enemy, and has shot down hundreds of German planes!" With that, the officer gestured to his men, and a group of Japanese soldiers immediately escorted two dozen German pilots in flight suits to the gallows.

"These are the German pilots who were captured by our Imperial Japan, and they are all white, white people who oppress you. You should purge who is your kind. It's us, it's us Asians! These Europeans have always been arrogant and invincible, and they have never treated you as human beings. Do you still want to give their land to them to manage? ”

There was another buzz below, and some Hawaiian natives whispered indignantly:

"The Japanese are all demons, and we are not the same kind as them!"

"What about white people? At least they don't whip and torture us casually! ”

"The Japanese devils only know how to collect taxes, and we would rather follow the whites than with them!"

The Japanese officer looked triumphantly at the natives below who dared to speak angrily, and after a while he glanced at his men, and the Japanese soldiers immediately picked one of the captured guerrillas and put him on the gallows.

"Now, let's hang these German lackeys for everyone! Listen, no one is allowed to take in or hide these German pilots from now on, and it will not matter if they are discovered by the Imperial Japanese Army, but if the German pilots are captured and reported to the Imperial Army. The rewards are huge! ”

The first five guerrillas who were put on the gallows struggled and shouted something from their mouths, but the Japanese officers ignored them. The executioners put black cloth bags over their heads, then looped ropes around their necks, and with a wave of the Japanese officer's hand, they pulled the movable pedals at the bottom of the gallows. For the executed, everything was over in a matter of seconds.

"You guys are a bunch of shameless bastards, cold-blooded animals!" Below a German pilot struggled to his feet and shouted.

He was responded to by a crisp gunshot, and the pilot immediately fell to the ground in pain with his thigh clutched.

At this time, the whole square was silent, and only the wolf dog, which smelled blood, bared its fangs and barked a few times.

"German naval pilots. You have chosen the wrong object of allegiance, and Germany has chosen the wrong opponent of the war, so you are doomed to the punishment of defeat! ”

The Japanese officer suddenly spoke in a deep German voice, both in pronunciation and grammar, which was obviously a lot higher than the level of English that had just been spoken. The German pilots were surprised one by one, and despite the "lessons from the past", one of them stood up and negotiated:

"Mr. Officer, the Hague Convention absolutely prohibits the mistreatment of prisoners of war!"

The Japanese officer sneered: "Prisoners of war? They are illegal militants in the occupied territories of your country, Mr. Second Lieutenant, have you not executed French or British partisans in your country? ”

The German pilots were speechless, and then could only watch as the local partisans who came to their rescue but unfortunately failed were mercilessly hanged by the Japanese army. During the execution, there was always a low cry in the square.

"Take them back to the prisoner-of-war camp and kill those who try to escape!"

The Japanese officer coldly ordered, and then picked up the tin megaphone and announced to the crowd in the square:

"Starting today, there is a curfew in place throughout Honolulu! Early tomorrow morning, men from the age of 15 to 55 will report to the various street concentration points to join the compulsory labor corps before the end of the war; Women from the age of 12 to 60 went to report to the city hall and served the Imperial Japanese Army unconditionally during the war!

Disbanded now! ”

At this time, no one except the relatives of the hanged was willing to stay in this sinful square for a second longer, and the bustling crowd began to disperse in all directions. Burning houses and painful labor awaited them, and under the brutality of the Japanese army, the inhabitants of Hawaii did not need much agitation to wait for the arrival of the German army.

At dawn, the fire in Honolulu was finally extinguished, and there were still bursts of white smoke rising from the hot ruins, and although there were 10,000 reluctance in their hearts, the residents still packed their bags and prepared to report to the designated place of the Japanese army.

Just when it was getting light. From the direction of the island of Hawaiʻi, the rumbling of cannons turned out to be made up of the battleships "Albrecht", "Geertz", "Württemberg", the battle cruiser "Count Spee", the heavy cruiser "Alexander". The German artillery fleet of the "Crook" and 12 destroyers had arrived at the east of the Hawaiian Islands after a night of rapid marching, and although the population of the island of Hawaii at the eastern end of the archipelago was far less than that of Oahu, there were Japanese ground batteries, airfields, and small military ports, so the German fleet chose it as an aperitif before a big meal.

Less than 20 minutes after the artillery fire began, another sound was heard in the eastern sky that excited the good guys and timidized the bad guys, and the humming of the fighters quickly spread from far to near, and more than 300 German carrier-based planes pounced in a huge queue, and this time not a single Japanese fighter took off to meet them.

Meanwhile. About 500 nautical miles from the Hawaiian Islands. A group consisted of the battleships "Kaiser Friedrich III", "August", "Bavaria", the battle cruiser "Hindenburg", the heavy aircraft carrier "Hesse", the medium aircraft carrier "Lewald", the light aircraft carriers "Federberg" and "Wall", plus 3 heavy cruisers, 7 light cruisers, 12 fish-class destroyers, 8 medal-class destroyers, A powerful convoy of 16 Bayonet-class destroyers is escorting the landing fleet carrying two Marine divisions and their equipment and supplies to the Hawaiian Islands.

Adolf Hitler, a captain officer of the German Marine Corps, was on deck aboard the Ruby, an ocean liner recruited from Mexico, to welcome a new day in the new world. The rising sun and the orange-red glow filled his heart with a bright vision for the future, and he aspired to become a star in the sand. Eager to become a national hero in the eyes of the people, eager to realize the value of his life in this world.

"Captain, can we get started?" A small-eyed lieutenant officer had to disturb the captain beside him, who was intoxicated by the sunrise view, with a soft reminder. Adolf came back to his senses, and he was lined up with more than 200 Marine-specific M20 short-brimming steel helmets, which were covered with a German-style camouflage net on the outermost part. The soldiers were wearing a dense color overcoat in olive green at the outermost point, waterproof marching boots on their feet, and their weapons - MG17 light machine guns, MP24 submachine guns, GG semi-automatic rifles, and scoped Mauser 1898 rifles, machine gunners and officers above the rank of non-commissioned officer also wore GG1917 pistols, and each carried a large waterproof backpack on their backs.

"Hmmm! Listen to my command and stand upright...... Turn right...... Run forward. Go around the boat 50 times! ”

Under Adolf's watchful eye, the more than 200 soldiers began to run circles around the main deck of the mail ship, 50 laps sounds like a lot, in fact, the ship is a little more than 100 meters from bow to stern, and 50 laps is 10 kilometers, which is really nothing for the soldiers of the German Royal Marines.

More than 200 pairs of leather boots made a distinctive clatter on the wooden deck, which obviously disturbed the good dreams of the soldiers who were still sleeping in the cabins below, but there was no way, during the long time the fleet sailed from Mexico to Hawaii. Adolf had to keep his soldiers physically strong, so that a certain amount of training every day was essential. On this medium-sized cruise ship, where space is very limited, there are not many exercises that can be employed, and what Adolf does is do the same as other commanders on board, which is to have his soldiers run in full armed laps, while sit-ups and push-ups are spread out in shifts.

When the air raid sirens sounded in the fleet, Adolf's soldiers stopped and looked curiously at the sea in the distance, the sirens seemed to come from the escort fleet, and after a while, many ships sounded the alarms.

Adolf just glanced at the side of the convoy, and there was not a trace of uncertainty in his eyes.

In that direction, groups of fighters were taking off from several aircraft carriers responsible for escorting the ship, but in a few minutes, there were as many as 50 or 60 blue-gray fighters gathered over the fleet, and these fighters soon formed two large air formations and flew in the northwest direction, while the follow-up fighters were still taking off one after another.

"Who told you to stop! Go on! Adolf shouted to the soldiers on deck, and while he wasn't sure what was going on, he didn't intend for these "extraneous things" to hinder his training plans.

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, but feared by the majesty of their commander, they rejoined themselves in the monotonous running circle.

After the first group of soldiers finished the scheduled number of laps, Adolf still stood in place and directed the second group of more than 200 soldiers to run laps, and not long after, there was a sudden burst of artillery sound not far away, so the soldiers stopped again.

Adolf glanced at the escort fleet, and it turned out that several Japanese planes that had broken through the interception of German fighters had broken into the sky above the fleet, and those escort ships were firing at the Japanese planes with dense anti-aircraft fire.

"Soldiers, the weapons in your hands are not for dealing with planes, keep running circles!"

Adolf had some impersonal orders.

After a while, the Japanese planes dragged black smoke into the sea, and the anti-aircraft guns of the German escort ships stopped roaring for the time being.

About 20 minutes later, about 40 more planes took off from several escort carriers, this time it was obviously not fighters, they were carrying round bombs and torpedoes under their bellies!

The second group of soldiers finally completed the lap mission out of breath, and at this time, the German fighters and bombers that had previously attacked also returned to their homes, and they also brought back very exciting good news, the Japanese fleet that attempted to intercept the German landing fleet halfway not only did not get any bargains, but lost the only aircraft carrier "Fengxiang", in addition, the German bombers also severely damaged the flagship of the Japanese fleet, and the Japanese fleet, which had lost air cover, was retreating northward.
