At 10:00 a.m. on December 7, 1941, the first wave returned to the fleet anchored 180 nautical miles north of the Hawaiian Islands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Nagumo received another strange telegram: the third wave, attack the pilot base, attack the command headquarters, attack the barracks, attack the repair shop, attack the hospital. The three US aircraft carriers are a thousand nautical miles away, so there is no need to worry. A third wave of attacks must be carried out, or your position will be revealed.

Nanyun suddenly felt a cool breeze rising up his spine.

It was not our spies who sent telegrams.

Who is this? Is it God? Is Amaterasu Okami? We are all pawns, pawns.

Nagumo didn't want to launch a third wave of attacks for the simple reason that it was. If it attacks, then the fleet will run out of ammunition, and the entire fleet will basically have no strength to protect itself. If three U.S. aircraft carriers come to attack, the entire fleet will be wiped out.

Although the US aircraft carrier is relatively far away, after its own aircraft carrier runs out of ammunition, the other side catches up with hundreds of nautical miles, then its aircraft carrier fleet is still a target, and it is facing death.

Seeing his hesitation, the staff officer asked, "Execution?" Our spies are just great. This spy has a lot of character. ”

Nagumo felt a sense of powerlessness and said, "Execute." Immediately execute the third wave of attacks. He saw in the message a great threat. attack, and it is possible to escape. If you don't obey orders, you'll be doomed.

Nagumo's first feeling turned out that the emperor had directly manipulated this attack. The Emperor's men had direct control over the spies in Hawaii and had direct control over every detail of the war. He didn't exactly think that this was the emperor's man, but he hoped in his heart that he wouldn't harm him.

It is not customary for the emperor to give orders directly, so his subordinates have to make suggestions to the emperor, and the emperor has to agree. This time, the emperor directly issued the order in this way. In the future, in the history books, the emperor will not appear on the list of those who issue the order, however, the war will be carried out precisely with the emperor's intentions.

It's a lavish gamble. The dealer is not Yamamoto, not Konoe, and not him Nagumo.

The dealer is the emperor.

11:15: The Governor of Hawaii announces on the radio that the entire territory of Hawaii is under military control.

11:30: The third wave of planes takes off. The third wave of the Japanese attack set off. The Japanese on the aircraft carrier did not have time to rest at all, they worked almost non-stop, putting the returning aircraft into storage, loading ammunition, overhauling the aircraft. A small number of planes were injured and could not take off, and most of them took off again, attacking.

12:10: The U.S. reconnaissance plane flew to the north of the island, was spotted by oncoming Japanese planes, fled, and was eventually shot down.

Soon, the Governor General of Hawaii and the President of the United States agreed to introduce wartime laws in Hawaii and establish a military government.

13:00: The third wave of attacks begins. The third wave of aircraft arrived, observed the battlefield, and went into battle.

This time, the Japanese pilots saw that the fire spread rapidly to other shores as the oil burned on the water, and soon the whole of Pearl Harbor was burning.

The flight began to look for pilot bases, headquarters, barracks, repair shops, hospitals. These are all shore-based targets. Anything that was a little bigger was bombed. If you can't find a target, pick up a large building and drop bombs or even torpedoes. Soon, explosions began to explode on the perimeter of the base. Almost all the buildings were bombed.

After only half an hour of bombing, the entire Pearl Harbor and its ancillary facilities were completely bombed. The entire port was in ruins. The planes began to look for targets further away, and soon, several remaining airfields were destroyed.

Soon, the Japanese not only attacked Oahu, but also went out in all directions, looking for other targets on other large and small islands to attack.

An hour later, the Japanese attack ended, and the last planes returned. The Japanese troops on the plane circled over the aircraft carrier, waiting for the runway to be cleared, and the Japanese troops on the plane looked back at Hawaii at a high altitude, only to see a cloud of black clouds rising into the sky, gathering into a black cloud at high altitude, looking from afar, like a huge mushroom. The black clouds rolled, and a red light flashed through the cracks, like a devil.

The mushroom cloud emitted a huge amount of heat that roasted the plane to a boiling heat.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, all the planes returned and all landed on the aircraft carrier, and Nagumo's heart was finally relieved, and he immediately ordered to return.

The third wave of the Japanese attack had almost no losses. And in the third wave of the offensive, the biggest losses of the US army were manpower and repair equipment. At this moment, it is impossible for the US military to quickly restore its combat strength.

On the way back, Nagumo received a third telegram: one million people were dispatched to attack Australia and take possession of Australia's iron ore worth 50 billion US dollars.

After returning to the Japanese mainland, the first thing Nagumo did was to take these three telegrams, find Yamamoto Isoroku, talk to him 1510, and ask him if he knew who sent the telegram.

Yamamoto took the three telegrams away, analyzed them repeatedly, studied them for several days, and was puzzled.

Soon, Yamamoto, like Nagumo, also developed a sense of powerlessness and a feeling of fear. He agrees with Nagumo: We are nothing more than pawns.

The staff officers of the base camp read the third telegram and began to get excited. Iron ore worth 50 billion dollars?!

The staff officers at the base camp were almost all close associates of the emperor. When they saw this, they knew that the emperor had even more powerful cronies. Our comrades-in-arms are amazing.

Later, Yamamoto Isoroku learned of the three telegrams and asked the Navy not to track them down.

Yamamoto knew the enormous production capacity of the United States, and he knew that if Japan attacked the United States, the United States' strong production capacity would produce a huge number of weapons.

Yamamoto directly planned the attack on Pearl Harbor. All the planning of the operation was made under his supervision and guidance.

Yamamoto directly planned all the plans for the Pacific War. He knew all the details.

And so the war broke out.

Wait a minute, there seems to be some of the main players in this, and that is the decision-maker.

Yamamoto knew that the decision-maker was the emperor. Yamamoto himself made the consequences of war against the United States clear to the emperor. Knowing the risks and resolutely going to war, who has such great power?

Emperor.

I am nothing but a pawn of the Emperor.

December 8, 1941, Tokyo time. Tokyo. Imperial Palace.

The emperor changed into his navy uniform.

"All day," one of the attendants wrote in his diary, "the emperor was dressed in a naval uniform and looked elated." ”

The initiator and bookmaker of this gamble, the Emperor of Japan, seemed to have succeeded in the gamble.

Is gambling really successful?

In the eyes of some, the gamble has just begun.

But people on the streets of Tokyo have already taken to the streets to celebrate. They reveled in the streets as if they were celebrating a holiday. The celebration was obviously not well organized, because everyone was not dressed neatly, did not hold the small Japanese flag, and did not line up in a neat line.

In the previous paragraph, because of the army's sneak attack on the Soviet Far East, the war was not declared, and the people were worried that Japan would fight on both sides, and the Northeast Coalition Army continued to attack and harass on the Soviet Far East to Siberian Railway, which made the people worry that the Soviet Union would fight back, and the results of the Battle of Nomenkan were staged again. However, there was no large-scale attack by the Soviet Union, the situation in the newly occupied areas was calm, and now there was good news, and everyone was relieved of their nervousness and worries, and enjoyed the joy and joy of victory.

At midnight Eastern Time on December 7, 1942, Washington, D.C.

The intelligence services came to the General Staff, and they reported on the information received today. Three of the strange pieces of information have caused a lot of discussion. The U.S. military had already cracked the code of the Japanese army, and when they saw the telegram commanding the Japanese Artemisia Jun like this, they initially thought it was Yamamoto's command telegram, but later research showed that the tone was not right at all.

Secretary Hull, who was also in the conference room, suddenly asked, "Where did these telegrams come from?" ”

Intelligence: "Asia." Northern. Not the United States. We've already cracked the code. ”

Hull muttered to himself: "The Soviet? Factions within Japan? Investigate immediately, with a focus on the interior of Japan. We believe that this was done by the emperor's cronies. Another important point was the investigation of the remnants of Soviet spy networks in the Far East. ”

All three telegrams were sent by small roads. He had no scruples and just sent the report. Occupying the channel of communication between the Tokyo Naval Headquarters and the Japanese fleet, it called directly and immediately sent a telegram if there was a slight response. Because he personally sent the report this time, even if the Kwantung Army found out, he might not be able to judge that he did it based on previous contacts; Even if the U.S. military received it, they would have sent the bill to the Japanese spies.

He did not expect that everyone thought that it was a telegram personally ordered by the emperor.

The Japanese army first received the telegram in the exclusive frequency, and saw that the telegram itself was meaningful, so it was handed over to Nagumo. Know the exclusive channel of the Japanese army, know the password? Who would that be?

Historically, Nagumo's attack on Pearl Harbor was very flawed, the first being that it did not attack the oil depot, which led to the second wave of attacks having little effect.

The second problem is that Nagumo later canceled the third wave of attacks. Because Nagumo did not see the American aircraft carrier, he was afraid that the American military would mobilize the aircraft carrier to attack him, so he decided to retreat. The attack was not complete, and the infrastructure was mostly intact, so that the US military quickly repaired the sunken warships, and the actual loss of warships was not much.

The third problem is that the U.S. military has placed a lot of planes in other airfields, which has led to the U.S. military keeping a large number of planes that have not been destroyed.

Today, several shortcomings have been compensated for by the path.

The reason why Xiaolu did this was naturally due to his considerations.

First of all, he wants to deplete the strength of the American army. Xiaolu only sent two telegrams, and most of the Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed. In this way, the war in the Pacific will be even more difficult. Japan would consume more American power, which would be a heavy blow to the power of the United States after the war.

Historically, Chester, who took over as commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet? Admiral Nimitz was glad that the oil near Pearl Harbor had not been blown up by the Japanese. The U.S. fleet's fuel is in storage tanks on the ground, with about 4.5 million barrels of oil. Nimitz believed that if the Japanese had destroyed that fuel, the war would have to be prolonged for two years.

Now that the oil has been blown up, let's see if Nimitz's prophecy can come true.

Second, he wanted to make the Japanese sink deeper into the Pacific theater, so that the Japanese army could get sweetness and make the Japanese army unable to extricate themselves. In this way, the Japanese army will draw more troops from China to make China's war of resistance better.

If Japan invests more forces in the Pacific theater, then the pressure on China will be reduced, and the process of the Japanese army drawing a large number of elite troops on Chinese soil will be accelerated.

The above two points will consume the power of the United States as a world power, and will be of great benefit to the future of China, which is very weak.

Of course, a devastating blow to the US Pacific Fleet will hit US confidence and the enthusiasm of American youth to join the army.

Xiaolu's idea is that the powerful will fight each other, consume power, and gain opportunities for China. Those who pose little threat to China will be given appropriate help, and those that are harmful to China will be dealt a blow to.

The weapon of the trail is intelligence.

But that's not the most important thing.

Xiao Lu used his own intelligence to push the tide of the battle at the critical moment he occupied. He played the role of the god of the Americans, and the god Amaterasu of the Japanese. The battle will evolve according to the path of the road. It's an extremely large train. Once you're on a track, there's no turning back.

On the afternoon of December 7, Pearl Harbor. In a private house near Pearl Harbor.

The fire outside was still burning.

This time the fire was so great that many civilian facilities near the port were affected. The fire was too big to extinguish, and people had to flee. Some didn't have time to escape and were burned to death.

This house was not affected by the fire because of its distance. A man in the room was tidying up, he lit a fire in the fireplace, threw a large pile of pieces of paper into it, watched the pieces of paper turn to ashes, found the pieces of paper, and burned them again.

The man who burned the paper was Takeo Yoshikawa, the second lieutenant of the Japanese Navy, and the Japanese spy stationed in Hawaii.

Just now, he had been observing the bombardment and fire outside. He himself did not expect that the effect of the Japanese bombing would be so violent. The oil depot was only mentioned once in his own information, and he did not take this information as the focus. Unexpectedly, the Navy creatively used this intelligence to bomb oil depots, maintenance plants, backup airfields, backup hangars, and even hospitals and barracks.

The entire base of the Pacific Fleet, above the surface of the earth, above the surface of the water, everything that could be destroyed was destroyed.

When the planes were all gone, he left the window. The fire in the distance had already scorched his face. When he left the window, he realized that he was sweating and sweating profusely. He knew that the Americans were staring at him. All evidence must be destroyed.

Takeo Yoshikawa is not a particularly professional agent, although his methods of gathering intelligence are very professional, but the methods of handling intelligence are really unprofessional, and a large number of documents, diaries, records, and photos are all at home. It must be destroyed immediately.

As he searched for the last stack of papers in the living room, he confirmed that there were no more papers. At this time, he saw two military vehicles coming from the street and stopped in front of his house.

Takeo Yoshikawa suddenly realized that someone had come to arrest him.

Takeo Yoshikawa quickly made his way to the fireplace and threw the last stack of papers into it. Maybe the fire outside had dried everything up, and a stack of papers was quickly ablazing.

At this time, the sound of footsteps outside reached the door, and someone knocked on the door and shouted in English, "Is Mr. Yoshikawa at home?" fbi！ Another voice said, "Gendarme! ”

Takeo Yoshikawa stirred it in the fireplace with an iron hammer, and the remaining pieces of paper also burned.

There was a thud outside, and the door was kicked open. Several big men barged in, and several pistols were aimed at Takeo Yoshikawa's head. A man rushed to the fireplace, saw that the pieces of paper were burned, and stomped his feet: "Cow dung!" "English scolded. Then, he asked Takeo Yoshikawa, "What is burned?"

Takeo Yoshikawa: "It's diplomatic documents that are burned. ”

The Americans actually came to detain Takeo Yoshikawa, and according to the order from above, he took all the Japanese as hostages.

Seeing that the last piece of paper of his materials turned to ashes, the Americans came, and Takeo Yoshikawa felt a lot more relieved. The emotions that scared me just now are gone.

1. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American military police stormed the gate of the consulate and took all the Japanese personnel in Hawaii hostage. In fact, Japanese diplomats in other parts of the United States were also detained. The Americans did not find out about his espionage at that time. Later, when Japan and the United States exchanged diplomats, Yoshikawa was released and returned to Japan. After returning to Japan, Yoshikawa received a heavy award from the Japanese base camp.
