Where there is tyranny, there will be resistance.

When the Hawaiian Islands were still under American rule, there were occasional incidents of violence and racial discrimination, but this was still within the tolerance of Hawaiian residents, especially indigenous peoples and expatriates from various countries. In 1924, the Japanese came, bringing not only plaster flags and obscene Japanese soldiers on the streets, but also high-pressure colonial rule with Japanese characteristics.

According to incomplete statistics, during the four years of the Japanese occupation in Hawaii, there were daily looting, ** and massacres in the first few months, and the protests of the residents only attracted brutal suppression by the Japanese army. Beginning in 1925, Hawaii gradually became a leisure destination for mid- and high-ranking Japanese military officers and politicians to travel and vacation with their families, so the men of the Hawaiian Islands became a labor force with little or no pay, and young women were forced to join the ranks of Japanese comfort women, even the elderly and children could not escape the fate of perennial hard labor.

Gradually, the native inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands, Americans who did not withdraw to their homeland, and foreigners living in the area began to spontaneously form underground resistance groups, that is, guerrillas. After the defeat of the U.S. government, the U.S. government was neither willing nor powerless in the affairs of the Hawaiian Islands, but a large number of firearms that flowed into the civilian population during the war became the main source of weapons for the Hawaiian underground resistance groups.

In the brutal struggle, the Hawaiians survived until 1929, and Japanese rule was so unpopular that when the German naval aviation appeared over Oahu, many Hawaiians were full of expectations for the coming Germans - the German ** team, which carried out the Kaiser's policy of softness, had a much better reputation in the occupied zone than the Japanese.

The second wave of German air raids ended at 10 a.m., and the southern part of Oahu, especially around Pearl Harbor, was full of holes and devastation, and perhaps until this time the Japanese generals did not quite understand that they were relatively well prepared but still defeated in the face of the opponent's strong attack, especially the results of the air battle made the main generals of the Japanese Hawaii garrison, Fume Mitsuzo, Tsuchihashi Ichi, and the army and navy headquarters in Tokyo feel angry and ashamed. However, when they complained, they did not calm down and carefully investigate and discuss the real reasons for this, but ordered the commander of the army aviation unit and the commander of the navy's shore-based flight group stationed in Hawaii to take the blame and punish themselves, and the death of the two scapegoats did not help save face for the Japanese army at all.

At 11:15 a.m., the second wave of German attack planes returned to the German fleet, which had reached 280 nautical miles east of Oahu. The losses in this wave were significantly smaller than in the previous wave, but the commander of the German fleet, von Murray. Lieutenant General Dalvik did not give the order for the third wave of attack aircraft to leave immediately.

Although he was well aware of the importance of continuing the attack, the Japanese fleet that had sailed from Pearl Harbor was still missing, so he cautiously postponed the third wave of attacks until the afternoon, so that the number of carrier-based aircraft remaining in his fleet would always be at a reasonable level.

On the aircraft carriers, there was not the slightest tiredness on the faces of the pilots who had just returned home, and to be precise, the uncontrollable excitement completely masked the physical exertion. They were all high-spirited and eager to fight, so after hearing the order of the officers to rest and stand by. Many of them were very surprised, but surprise to surprise, they quickly came to the pilots' dining room and lounge and had a lively discussion with the pilots who had attacked the previous wave.

"What? Herman. Goering was shot down! Ha, isn't that guy claimed to never be shot down? A captain pilot in his thirties said with surprise and some schadenfreude.

The other captain, who was holding a large glass of milk, didn't seem to agree with the former's statement, "Hey, Hawkes, you can't say that!" Although our heavy machine gun fire caused the Japanese to suffer heavy losses at the beginning of the battle, there were still more than 200 Japanese planes left, and the anti-aircraft guns on the ground were even denser. Sky. I swear it was the tightest anti-aircraft fire I've ever seen!

On several occasions I almost got knocked down by shrapnel from an anti-aircraft gun. No wonder Goering's plane was hit! ”

"Our vice-captain took out 4 Japanese fighters before they were shot down!" A young lieutenant blushed and said that it was clear that he was Herman. Goering's wingman pilot.

"Huo. His overall record is 33! It's not far from the number one trump card of the Navy! The captain with the milk cup said very neutrally.

"Not necessarily, didn't you kill as Major Lukes today?" Lieutenant with a lot of pimples on his face retorted that the von Lieutenant, who occupied the Navy's number one ace pilot, retorted that the Navy's number one ace pilot. The aircraft carrier "Kemal", where Lukes is currently located, is not far from the sea, and as long as it is not an unexpected situation such as diarrhea and acute enteritis, the naval ace who served as the captain of the fighter group will definitely join the first wave of attack aircraft.

"Oh, so when I was on Oahu, I think I saw Major Lukes's red-nosed fighter, and the major's flying skills are really good!" The other captain seemed to say so.

Just as the pilots were chatting happily, the aviation tactical commander on the aircraft carrier walked into the officer's cafeteria, and everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Don't be nervous. I'm just here for lunch! Boys, you did a great day! "The admiral, who was in his fifties, was known for his amiable appearance.

"It's okay!"

"Well, the Japanese are so bad!"

"That's it, the performance of Japanese aircraft is really not complimentary!"

The pilots were babbling.

When everyone was almost finished, the colonel spoke: "The flagship has just received an order to temporarily postpone the departure of the third wave of attacks until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You can have a good lunch and take a nap before that, but don't be too relaxed, meet in the war room at 1:30, and I'll assign you tasks for the afternoon! ”

"Colonel. Is it still an attack on Pearl Harbor in the afternoon? The captain, who had laid down the milk cup, was eager to know what was next.

"Mr. Watt, this is a military secret until 1:30 p.m.!" The colonel smiled and refused to answer the question, but he still revealed something that was within his purview: "In the afternoon the fighters will carry rockets on ground attack missions, and some of the bombers will carry incendiary bombs!"

One thing I must remind you is that once you encounter a Japanese fighter, it is best to launch the rocket as soon as possible, although our VA28 has average anti-air performance, but fighting with them has a great impact on maneuverability! ”

"Oh. It's finally time to use the VA28, and that's a great ground weapon! "Once again, the pilots were gossiping, and they didn't use the weapon in the first and second waves, because the fleet was far away from Oahu, and the fighters had extra fuel tanks to keep them in the air. By the afternoon, on the one hand, the distance between the fleet and the target had been shortened by several dozen nautical miles, and on the other hand, the Japanese fighters had certainly not taken to the air to intercept them as much as in the morning, so the fighters did not need to stay in the air over the battlefield for too long.

"These rockets have been used in peacetime training and in combat operations in the Gulf of Finland.

So I won't dwell on the technical points! So now...... I'm going to have my lunch, I haven't even had my morning tea this day, and my stomach is really rumbling! The colonel humorously said that the German ** team has always been rigid and rigorous, but this is mostly for the army, if the naval officers and soldiers who have been sailing on the sea for a long time are also like this all day long, I am afraid that depression at sea will be very popular.

While the pilots were happily enjoying lunch, on the decks and hangars of the aircraft carrier, the crew was still busy refueling the ship's warhawks, ammunition, and making emergency repairs to the planes damaged in the morning's battle. It's different from the scene when you set off in the morning.

At this time, the bellies of the fighters did not carry the auxiliary fuel tanks that were somewhat similar in appearance to aerial bombs. Rockets with tails about half a meter long and 80 mm in diameter are hoisted on special pylons in the lower part of the wings, and each Heinkel II fighter can carry 4-8 of these ground-to-air rockets with a total weight of 35 kg. In fact, there were several models of rockets that the German army put into active service. Among them, the 55 mm caliber VK27 rocket is specially designed for air combat, but as an unguided weapon, the accuracy of this rocket is still not ideal when used in the air, and it can generally play a better role only when dealing with enemy large bombers; The 60 mm, 80 mm and 105 mm rockets are designed for ground attack and are divided into high-explosive anti-personnel warheads, which are used to kill enemy ground personnel and armor-piercing warheads, which are used against enemy armored targets and reinforced concrete fortifications.

By 1:45 p.m., the missing Japanese fleet was still nowhere to be seen, and the commander of the German fleet, Vice Admiral von Dalvik, decisively gave the order for a third wave of attack aircraft consisting of 122 fighters and 183 bombers. Another 87 fighters and 197 bombers formed the fourth wave of attack groups. By the time these two groups had finished their attacks, the German fleet would be 200 nautical miles closer to Oahu, and according to the plan, the fleet would begin shelling military targets on the Hawaiian islands in the early hours of the next morning, and the landing fleet would follow the attack fleet to Hawaiian waters two days later.

This time, as soon as the huge German carrier-based aircraft group flew close to the Hawaiian Islands, it was "deadly intercepted" by more than 40 Japanese fighters and more than 20 maritime combat reconnaissance planes; although most of the Japanese pilots were determined to "shatter the jade," their temporary commander actually ordered all the fighters to shrink in formation, while the dozens of German fighters at the forefront of the attack plane group on the other side fired all the rockets under their wings without taking aim. Fortunately, in the following air battle, they maintained good maneuverability, but they did not want this move to be crooked, and many rockets were exactly drilling into the dense group of Japanese planes, and more than a dozen Japanese planes were shot down by German rockets on the spot, and the Japanese pilots were also in a big mess because of this unexpected blow, and the result was quickly cleaned up by German fighters.

After successfully clearing the last of the Japanese air defenses, the opponents of the German carrier-based aircraft group were only Japanese ground anti-aircraft fire. This time, the German fighters had rockets, a more effective attack weapon than machine guns, and the German bombers brought terrible incendiary bombs, and for a time the island of Oahu was full of thick smoke and flames, and the heart-rending wails all came from the mouths of the Japanese officers and men.

On the east side of the Pearl Harbor departure channel, several batteries built during the American occupation were a concentration of Japanese anti-aircraft fire. There were 12-inch naval fortress guns with stubby barrels and high muzzles in open concrete fortifications below the ground, and 8-inch and 6-inch melee guns in round steel turrets, but the 20-mm, 40-mm and 127-mm anti-aircraft guns that surrounded the batteries were the most threatening to the German fleet, and the German carrier-based aircraft crashing on the nearby beaches and seas were their "masterpieces". During the third and fourth waves of German air raids, it became the main point of attack of German fighters.

Compared with the previous two times, the ground fire of the German fighters was much more intense, a rocket salvo of a fighter squad could make a Japanese air defense position bleed, and an incendiary bomb of a bomber could make a huge area a purgatory on earth, plus the German fighters strafed over and over again, the Japanese officers and soldiers were finally cowardly under the attack of the Germans regardless of losses - the lives of German pilots were naturally precious, but sufficient reserve personnel gave German generals the confidence and capital to fight a tough battle, in the landing fleet behind, The dozen or so escort aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships also have a large number of carrier-based aircraft and skilled pilots on board, and they can be quickly replenished for every aircraft and pilot lost by the forward fleet. For the Japanese defenders who were isolated overseas, they could not be replenished in a short period of time, and unless their fleet could repel the powerful German attack fleet and landing fleet, they could only perish in the continuous air raids and artillery bombardment of the German army.

By the end of the fourth wave of German air raids, only the sparse sound of Japanese anti-aircraft artillery remained in the southern part of Oahu.

On the other hand, knowing that it was a Japanese tradition to abuse and kill prisoners of war, the Germans contacted the underground resistance groups on Oahu through their own spies, and the guerrillas promised to raid the Japanese prisoner of war camp where the German pilots were held at night and transfer the pilots to the mountains of central Oahu, in exchange for allowing the natives to govern themselves after the German occupation of Hawaii.
