"I'm going to be beaten now." Fuchida's heart suddenly became tense.

Because if you continue to fly like this, not only the vanguard squadron, but also the subsequent squadron will be attacked by the concentrated fire of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, and there is a danger that they will be broken by each one. It seems that it was a mistake to enter the target with a long snake formation in a single column. Even if it is a crosswind, it is best to enter the target in a horizontal formation from the direction of the head of Demo Amant. It's a pity that it's very close to the target now, and it's too late to change the formation, so I can only go out and do it.

The guide plane is like a horse, rushing straight to the target, frequently correcting its course. Fuchida no longer paid attention to the anti-aircraft fire of the Americans, but just stared at the bomb carried by the guide plane. The bomb drop switch has been turned on, and you can drop the bomb by moving the bomb drop handle.

At this moment, time seems so long.

Everywhere there was a cloud of smoke from the explosion of anti-aircraft shells fired by the Americans, and Fuchida had never seen such a dense barrage, and he tried to keep his composure and observe the situation around him.

Once again, there was a violent tremor. It may have been hit again, and the guide plane shook back and forth again. Fuchida turned his head to look at the No. 3 machine next to him, and just saw the bomb it was carrying suddenly fell from under the fuselage.

The bombardier of the No. 3 machine is usually a bit hairy. During training, the formation dropped bombs in unison, but the No. 3 plane always dropped bombs either too early or too late, and it was rare to be accurate. The bomb he dropped was often far from the target. Although Yuantian had been strict with him and trained repeatedly, he still relapsed at this critical juncture. ”

Fuchida couldn't help but feel angry, and waved his fist towards the third machine, and gently knocked himself on the head twice. The bombardier of machine three scratched his head in embarrassment through the windshield. Only then did Yuantian realize that the No. 3 machine seemed to be a little wrong, and he took a closer look, and it turned out that the No. 3 machine was leaking oil. So, he used chalk to write a few big words "What's wrong" on the small blackboard, and pasted the blackboard on the windshield for the No. 3 machine to see. The bombardier of machine No. 3 immediately looked at it with a telescope and raised his hand to show that he understood. Later, he also wrote a few words on the blackboard and held it up to the glass. Fuchida Navy Nakasa looked through a telescope and it was written that "the lower part of the fuselage was shot." Look again, the broken bomb cable hangs down, swinging back and forth in the wind. Fuchida Nakasa felt sorry and felt that he should not have been blamed just now. So, he wrote: "You can return". Unit 3 replied, "The damage is not heavy, we can act together", and repeatedly saluted and pleaded. But its bombs have already been dropped, so it is only meaningful to distract the enemy's artillery fire and intercept it by following the formation in the rain of bullets. Fuchida smiled bitterly, he could understand the mood of the third crew at this time, so he had to nod affectionately and agree.

When it was time to drop the bomb, Fuchida turned his gaze to the guide plane.

Unfortunately, just as the guide plane was about to drop the bomb, a broken cloud suddenly drifted and blocked the target. "Could it be a problem?" Fuchida Nakasa watched anxiously at the guide plane, but he never saw it drop bombs. He felt like he had missed the moment. At this time, the face of Azeng Bingcao suddenly appeared on the reconnaissance seat of the guide plane, and he raised his hand and waved it to Fuchida. Sure enough, they were obscured by the broken clouds and missed the opportunity to aim.

The guide machine swayed slightly from side to side, signaling to the sides that it had missed the opportunity to aim, and then turned to the right and flew in the direction of Honolulu in order to enter the target again. Fuchida looked back helplessly, he thought, how difficult it was to just get rid of this barrage.

By this time, the anti-aircraft guns of the American army had already diverted their fire and concentrated their fire on the second squadron.

During the roundabout, Fuchida Nakasa looked at the sea where the bomb of the No. 3 machine had just fallen. The bomb landed right at the entrance to the mouth of Pearl Harbor, and ripples could still be seen on the surface of the sea. There was a destroyer-like warship nearby. The bomb, he thought, scared the American destroyer at the very least. On closer inspection, the destroyer appeared to be in a floating dock. A rope was pulled from both sides of the bay, as if closing the entrance. Could it be that they are pulling on the anti-submarine net? At this time, Fuchida suddenly thought of the pocket submarine.

Regarding the miniature submarine, Fuchida Navy Nakasa did not know much, and he did not know what the miniature submarine was and why it participated in this operation. Fuchida did not know anything about the operational purpose of the pocket submarines and the formation of the special attack team composed of them. It was only from the submarine staff officer who was sent to the flagship "Pancheng" by the submarine force at that time that I learned a little bit about the fact that several pocket submarines planned to infiltrate the harbor on the eve of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but they would not attack before carrying out an air attack, even if they found the best opportunity. Having heard these words, I suddenly remembered these submarines after seeing that the enemy seemed to be laying out anti-submarine nets.

"Right now, the pocket submarine may be sitting somewhere under the ocean floor of Pearl Harbor. They gave the opportunity to take the lead to the flying troops, and patiently wished the flying troops a successful attack. As long as the anti-submarine nets laid at the mouth of the bay are open, they still have a glimmer of hope of escaping danger after the attack, but judging from the current situation, this hope is absolutely frustrated. Thinking of this, Fuchida unconsciously burst into tears, and once again felt that war was cruel. He silently said to them: Thank you, all the crew of the pocket submarine! We're going to do our best!

Just now, due to the broken clouds hindering aiming, the first squadron of the horizontal bomber fleet flew over the target and prepared to start from scratch. Some of the follow-up squadrons dropped bombs one after another, and some also missed the opportunity to aim. Among them, some squadrons entered three times and have not yet succeeded.

Fuchida took advantage of the plane's detour over Honolulu to the left and constantly observed the battle at Pearl Harbor. Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion occurred at the place where the battleship was docked on the east side of Ford Island. Suddenly thick smoke billowed and the pillar of fire was more than 1,000 meters high. This is a black and red pillar of fire that is unique to the burning and explosion of gunpowder and explosives. After a while, even the 1st Squadron, which was relatively far from Pearl Harbor, was shaken and swayed violently.

"Captain Matsuzaki, look, this is a big explosion!"

"Captain, the explosion caused by hitting the ammunition bay on the ship, it's so powerful!"

The battle has entered the **, and the combat airspace is gradually shrouded in gunsmoke.

The 1st squadron again entered the bombing course. Fuchida carefully observed the battleship group with a telescope. He judged that the explosion might have occurred from the second battleship "Maryland" in the north. The fire was still burning, and the smoke covered the northernmost battleship "Nevada", which was scheduled to be attacked. Oops, Fuchida Navy Nakasa used binoculars to observe the battleships attacked by the horizontal bomber fleet one by one. The third battleship "Tennessee" from the north also caught fire. The fourth battleship from the north was the USS Arizona, the flagship of the US Pacific Fleet, which did not seem to have suffered losses.

Fuchida Navy Nakasa instructed the guide plane to target the "Arizona". When the formation entered the target, it again came under heavy fire from American anti-aircraft fire.

At this time, the "Arizona" had already left its anchor position, and the guns of the whole ship were in motion, and the rain of bullets and flames from the machine guns were scattered in all directions, and Fuchida could not help but widen his eyes when he saw that an attack plane of the "Tianshan" type was hit by the artillery fire fired by the battleship "Arizona" and spun and fell down rapidly.

The pilot of the "Tien Shan" attack may have wanted to ram the US battleship, but the rapidly falling plane kept approaching the "Arizona" and fell into the sea at the moment when it saw that it was about to collide.

Seeing the huge column of water rising from the side of the "Arizona", Fuchida couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Prepare to drop the bomb!"

Fuchida ordered loudly, watching the bomb of the guide plane with bated breath, holding the bomb handle tightly in his hand.

"Bomb dropping!" The driver, scout and radioman shouted in unison.

The bomb carried by the guide plane gently broke away from the bomb cable and fell. The other planes also dropped bombs in unison. Fuchida hurriedly lay on the floor under the scout seat, opened the glass observation hole on the floor, and stared at the bomb that had just been dropped. The four bombs fell next to each other like devils with eyes, one by one. At this time, the target ship "Arizona" and the battleship "Oklahoma" moved forward side by side. The dropped bomb is far from the target, can it hit? Fuchida began to worry.

Fuchida stared at the "Arizona" tightly, he noticed that on the mast of the "Arizona", a general's flag was flying, he knew that it was the flag of the commander of the Pacific Fleet, which indicated that the Supreme Commander of the US Pacific Fleet, Admiral Kimmel, was on the "Arizona" at this time!

The thought that he might kill Kimmel as a result made Fuchida's body tremble with excitement.

Four bombs fell straight towards the "Arizona", getting closer and closer, the bombs became smaller and smaller, and in the blink of an eye they would be invisible. Fuchida stared with bated breath; In terms of thrilling, if you watch below whether the bomb falling from the sky will explode on your head, it will not be thrilling, but terrifying; And to observe from above whether the dropped bomb can hit the target, this time can there be a truly thrilling feeling. Fuchida forgot that he was commanding the battle of the whole army, and he also forgot about avoiding the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, but he was fascinated by the thrill of that moment. Soon the bomb became smaller than a bean, and finally it was out of sight. The next thing I saw was the deck of the Arizona, the size of a washbasin, followed by two puffs of white smoke rising from the deck like dust from the grass school.

"Two hits!" Fuchida shouted loudly.

The armor-piercing bomb with the extended fuse hit the target, and this was only a matter of a moment, if you were not careful, you would have missed it during the mission, but if it did not hit, you could see it very clearly, just like the two bombs that fell into the sea, setting off two large layers of ripples on the sea surface outside the "Arizona".

The two bombs that hit the "Arizona" should have penetrated the armor and exploded inside the ship, and Fuchida thought that the ship would suffer considerable damage, but in fact although the ship was hit by two bombshells, the damage was not heavy, and it was not visible from the appearance at all.

Fuchida returned to his seat and ordered the horizontal bomber convoy that had dropped the bombs to return home. He remained over Pearl Harbor in order to observe the results and continue to command the troops.

At this time, the "Arizona" was like a fire-breathing monster, firing fiercely at the incoming plane, and the huge 406-mm main gun also fired, making a thunderous noise. When Fuchida saw that the "Arizona" was still moving forward, as if it was planning to sail outside the port, his heart began to hang again.

"Look! That's the aircraft carrier 'Enterprise'! Captain Matsuzaki said in surprise, pointing ahead.

Without going through the binoculars, Fuchida saw that an aircraft carrier full of fire was staggering towards the harbor, and the American sailors on the surface of the ship were struggling to extinguish the fire with faucets, and the heroic figures were constantly running, although most of the aircraft carrier had been surrounded by smoke and flames, Fuchida could still clearly identify that this was the "Enterprise" aircraft carrier.

"It looks like our bombs did limited damage to the American warships." Captain Matsuzaki's words were tinged with regret.

Captain Matsuzaki's words were not unreasonable, and Fuchida had already noticed that although the fire on the Enterprise was very large, the fire was already under control thanks to the efforts of American sailors.

"It doesn't matter, we still have torpedoes on the field." Fuchida said confidently.

The attack on Pearl Harbor began with the bombing of Wheeler Airfield by a dive bomber squadron, followed by the bombing of Hickem Airfield and Ford Island Airfield; After about five minutes, the torpedo fleet began to attack, followed by a horizontal bomber fleet that also entered the target; From the very beginning, the American anti-aircraft guns fired back, and the fire was unusually fierce; Due to the ascension of US fighter planes, most of the fighters of the air superiority fighter squadron were busy fighting with US fighters and did not strafe the ground. As a result, US ground-based anti-aircraft artillery fire was fired into the air almost without any interference, and all this greatly increased the difficulty of the Chinese army's strong attack operations.

In a moment, the area around Pearl Harbor became the site of thrilling fierce battles.

When Takahashi's dive bomber fleet dropped bombs, the torpedo fleet also began to attack American aircraft carriers and battleship groups. At this time, the horizontal bomber fleet had not yet entered the bombing course, and the American anti-aircraft guns had already opened fire.

Braving heavy anti-aircraft fire, the torpedo flotilla began to fire torpedoes.

The main force of the torpedo fleet, led by Murata's Navy Major, made a detour from the naval shipyard and concentrated on attacking the US [***] ships parked on the east side of Ford Island. At this time, most of the US [***] ships here had already lifted anchor and left their berths, and they had already completed their combat preparations, and they fired at the torpedo fleet with heavy artillery fire, and the American gunners fired extremely accurately, and Fuchida saw that three attack planes on the "Meteor" ship were hit by US artillery fire one after another, and exploded in volley at the moment when the torpedo was about to enter the water.

"Come on! Come on! Seeing this scene, Fuchida couldn't help but scream.

Although the torpedo fleet was hit by terrible artillery fire, it did not flinch in the slightest, and Fuchida saw that the attack planes on the "Meteor" ship deftly avoided the artillery fire of the US troops and threw one specially modified torpedo after another into the sea, and his heart almost rose to his throat.

The effect of a torpedo attack was obviously much better than that of a bomb, and after a while, Fuchida observed a high column of water raised by the torpedo after it hit. At this time, he admired Yamamoto Isoroku's wise decision to decisively demand that all the "97 ship attacks" of the Combined Fleet be replaced with new "Tianshan ship attacks" and "meteor ship attacks" before the war.

In 1939, the Navy ordered the Nakajima Company to develop in the name of 14 test ship attacks, and the prototype was completed in the spring of 1941. Because the "Tianshan Naval Attack" has reduced its weight and improved its maneuverability, it was able to complete such a difficult attack.

"Meteor Ship Attack" is the first kind of carrier-based dual-mission bomber of the Navy, which can complete the task of horizontal bombing and torpedo bombing by dive bombing, and the main wing of the "Meteor Ship Attack" is an inverted gull type, and its double flaps and aileron flaps are linked to enhance the low-speed surname energy, so that the surname of this carrier-based aircraft can be very high, fast and has the fighting surname of a fighter, this kind of aircraft is difficult to intercept in actual combat, and the production process is simple, the Navy has carried out some equipment before the start of the Hawaii operation, Yamamoto 56 After watching the exercise, Neng was quite satisfied with the surname of this kind of aircraft and asked for more equipment, and as a result, the "Meteor Ship Attack" and the "Tianshan Ship Attack" completely replaced the "97 Ship Attack" and became the main force in the Pearl Harbor operation.

Soon, the American battleship "Tennessee", which was sailing in the northernmost direction, was hit by 1 torpedo, another battleship "West Virginia" was hit by 9 torpedoes in succession, and the American battleship "Oklahoma" was hit by 12 torpedoes, setting a record for the number of torpedoes in this campaign! The American battleship "California" was also hit by 3 torpedoes.

Looking at the "Oklahoma", which had become almost a sea of fire from head to toe, Fuchida couldn't help but shout loudly.

"The 'Enterprise' was torpedoed!" Captain Matsuzaki shouted excitedly.

Fuchida turned his head to look, and sure enough, the aircraft carrier "Enterprise" had stopped moving at this time, and although the fire on the deck had been extinguished, the aircraft carrier still could not escape from the port, and after being hit by a torpedo, the hull had tilted badly, and it seemed that it was about to capsize.

"Well done!" Fuchida nodded, "It's definitely over." ”

Another detachment of the torpedo fleet attacked the warship parked on the west side of Ford Island. There were no battleships here. However, the torpedo fleet attacked the target ship "Utah", which had been a battleship, as a battleship, and caused it to hit six torpedoes.
