Chapter 017: The Bombing of Pearl Harbor
"That's right."
"No, who else will drop bombs at us at this time except the Chinese planes."
Nimitz nodded, it was indeed like this, but he didn't believe that the Chinese's plane would suddenly appear in his own air, and so many of their radars actually didn't find it,
"What the hell, what about our radar, why didn't they find it?"
"General, if I guess correctly, it must be the Chinese who flew above the clouds first, and you also know that the clouds carry a large amount of electric ions, plus this rain and thunder, it must be the electromagnetic waves of the radar they interfered with, so that our radar did not detect them."
Nimitz was too anxious to think of this for a while, and as soon as the officer said that he immediately reacted, this is very likely,
"What about our losses, why didn't we fight back."
"General, the anti-aircraft fire has been fully invested, but the results are not great, and most of our planes are in warehouses, and the planes and airfields on the ground have been destroyed by Chinese planes, and it may be difficult for our side to take off planes to fight."
"What." This is too bad, so that the US military can only be passively bombed, as for the planes on other islands to take off and fly over, at that time the Chinese planes have already been bombed.
However, Nimitz still let the planes on other islands take off, and he thought that the Chinese would definitely come to bomb a second time, and of course, if it was good, they might catch up with the first wave of Chinese bombers.
"Click...... "Light and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the US ships in the port of Honolulu fired ammunition into the air violently, forming a dense network of firepower.......
However, the effect is not obvious, at least not a single Chinese plane has been launched, and their warships and merchant ships have been blown up I don't know how many, the J-1 fighter can send a small merchant ship into the sea with a rocket,
Bombers and torpedo planes slaughtered these merchant ships and warships even more one-sidedly, especially at the beginning, these ships had no defense, and at that time Chinese planes could easily kill one.
"It's useless, their firepower is too strong."
"Run away, these ships can't be saved, and our air force won't find where to die."
Seeing that a warship and ship were killed, and the American troops on board could not bear it, the sailors on the armed merchant ship had already run away, and they jumped into the water desperately to escape, but under the bombardment, in front of the whirlpool of the sinking ship, in the face of strong winds, rain and waves, in front of distance, most of them could not escape, and of course many people died in front of bombs and bullets,
More than ten minutes later, the air force assembled and flew away, and the bombing was very successful, they did not lose a single plane, the Americans suffered heavy losses, the ships in the harbor were destroyed, the supply base on Oahu and the airfield were also destroyed.
The Chinese Air Force successfully carried out the mission, Nimitz did not send the Air Force to pursue, because it was unnecessary, they did not know that the Chinese fleet was there, it was very dangerous to follow behind, the Chinese also had radar, once the Chinese found out, Nimitz was worried that this batch of planes might not return,
After many battles, Nimitz no longer believes that the Chinese cooperate with the Japanese, nor does he believe that the Chinese only have a few aircraft carriers, and that the Chinese must have a large number of aircraft carriers so many aircraft,
Oahu was being rescued in the rain everywhere, and it was clear that now they had no time to do anything else, the planes on the island had been destroyed, the troop ships had been destroyed, and the port of Honolulu had been really destroyed this time.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the heavy rain stopped, only the drizzle was still falling, and the Chinese Air Force did not come over to bomb again, of course, it was not the squadron that let go of the Americans, but almost all the air forces that had just been dispatched, and it would take so long to go back and forth plus bombing, and it was really too dangerous to bomb in the heavy rain,
An hour after the Chinese plane flew away, that is, at two o'clock, the Americans roughly counted their losses, of course, mainly referring to the planes and ships of the military,
"General, our losses have been counted." With that, the staff officer handed Nimitz a list of losses,
Nimitz knew in his heart that the loss of this bombing would not be small, he didn't dare to look at it, but it was useless to escape, Nimitz still took a look, this bombing, the United States lost 150 planes, all of which were destroyed in the airport or hangar, Oahu is still quite large if you use your feet, but the plane can fly from south to north and from east to west in just a few minutes,
The loss of weapons and ammunition is even more numerous, many arsenals have been destroyed, but what makes Nimitz even more sad is not these weapons and ammunition, but the loss of Pearl Harbor, there are actually more than 300 ships of various kinds that have been blown up and sunk in the port, the key is that these ships have been blown up and sunk in the sea area, if the navy comes back and can't enter the port, of course it is useless to come in, the port has been destroyed,
"It's over." This is Nimitz's last sigh, the loss is so big, the local army can't support, the squadron is stubbornly entangled, Nimitz knows that they may not be able to wait for domestic support,
With the loss of so many ships this time, the US military has lost the prerequisites for attacking Niihau Island, and in terms of the air force, there are only more than 500 planes left in the US air force stationed on the island, and there are indeed more than 1,000 planes on the six main aircraft carriers and some escort aircraft carriers, but they have a lot less advantages than the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese fleet.
Now the squadron really has the initiative in the naval battle of Hawaii, China's advantage is gradually increasing, the squadron has controlled some islands, and stationed the air force on them, and now controls a large island Niihaau, tonight they will attack the nearby 17 kilometers of Kauai from Niijau Island, after seizing this island, the US military will be blocked in Oahu, more than 100 kilometers away,
Nimitz was injured alone, Huang Feihu was smiling from ear to ear, although he didn't know how much success the land attack had achieved, but the number of American merchant ships and warships sunk in Pearl Harbor was very considerable, the American ** ships and merchant ships in Pearl Harbor were almost sunk, in addition, these ships were still blown up in the entire port, the port, the middle, and the import and export degree were occupied by American shipwrecks, this port can be said to be abandoned, and it will not be restored to use in a short time.
It is estimated that it will take several months to clean up these wrecks, but at that time, the squadron had already taken here, so it is estimated that these wrecks can only wait for the squadron to salvage.
"Commander, this battle has been brilliant, it is estimated that the Americans will not have a ship if they want to land on Niihau Island now."
"Well, but don't be careless, the paratroopers are very powerful, and we need to prevent them from landing on Niihau Island."
"Hehe, Commander, the size of Niihau Island is relative, we now have five or six thousand people stationed on it, enough of them, those American paratroopers will definitely be killed before they land, or if the parachute is penetrated, those American soldiers can only fall to their deaths."
"Well, but you still have to be careful, be careful with the 10,000-year-old ship, don't play any conspiracy for the Americans at this time, it's not good, let the ships pay attention to be vigilant, don't think that you can sit back and relax if you beat the Americans, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse."
"Yes."
"Commander, there's news from Niihau, and the rain has stopped there." A staff officer came in and said,
"Okay, the rain has stopped, we can do her again, this time another 250 planes will be dispatched, and Li Huixian and their carrier-based planes will be dispatched to bomb Kauai Island, but some planes will also be left behind for emergency."
"Okay."
Li Huixian soon received a telegram from the ship-island aircraft carrier, Kauai now has no planes, not even any, Oahu has suffered heavy losses in this bombing, I don't know how many are left, the planes on the ship-island aircraft carrier will bomb them again, I believe that the Americans will definitely not be able to cope with it at that time.
"Lao Li, this time I think we should attack in advance."
"Lao Huang, what do you say."
Huang Peiyao said: "The Americans' Kauai Island was burned by a fire, I'm afraid there are already a few planes on the island, we flew over to bomb this time, they will definitely not be able to stop us, and a big one is greater than the original less black miasma of things washed away, I believe that many of the secret bases of the United States on the island will be exposed, we will be able to destroy them if we go to bomb, of course, the most important thing to bomb them in advance is to wait for the US troops on Oahu or other islands to come, we have already finished bombing and left. And if these American planes can be transferred to Kauai, it will be much easier for the commander-in-chief's planes to fly over and bomb, at least there will be a lot less American planes. ”
"This seems to be the same, we can exchange the smallest loss for the biggest victory in another time, and we really don't rush."
Necker Island to Kauai is only more than 200 kilometers, 20 minutes of planes are enough, and 20 minutes after the planes on the ship-island aircraft carrier take off, they also take off,
Twenty minutes later, the Chinese Air Force arrived at Kauai Island to bomb it, and although the U.S. forces on the island found it, they didn't know what to do better, and they didn't know where they got more than a dozen planes, but these planes were quickly destroyed by Chinese planes.
The planes calling for help from Oahu also came over ten minutes after being attacked, and Nimitz gritted his teeth to make it up, and the reinforcements on Maui and Hawaii were not so fast.
The Chinese naval aviation did not expect that the Americans would be able to send fifty planes to fight, which was indeed unexpected to them.
The two sides soon engaged in a game of chase and death, and at the same time, Chinese bombers did not forget to bomb all the targets on Kauai that they considered valuable.
After all, the number of American planes is still less, the Chinese planes are three times as large as theirs, almost three planes are chasing an American plane,
However, more than a dozen Chinese planes were also killed, most of the pilots were killed in battle, and a few parachuted successfully, but looking at this posture, it is estimated that they will be captured by the Americans.
