Chapter 611-2: Japanese Attack on the United States

On April 25, a Japanese aircraft carrier fleet attacked the continental United States, and several naval air force logistics bases near Seattle were bombed and a series of important targets. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The bombing time was a few hours earlier, and in the early morning of the 24th local time, dozens of planes flew on the west side of Seattle. The planes crossed Mount Olympia to the greater Seattle area, bombing these military targets with precision.

These military targets were concealed using Hollywood techniques, and a large number of factories and ports were covered with large tarpaulin sheds on which houses and streets were painted. From the air, it is nothing more than an ordinary neighborhood, an ordinary town, and an ordinary small fishing port.

Almost all military targets on the West Coast of the United States have done this kind of concealment.

Since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese submarines have been constantly appearing on the west coast of the United States, and the United States has taken measures. In addition to putting the Japanese in concentration camps, there was also the concealment of military targets. These measures were considered foolproof, but I did not expect that such a secret measure could not escape the bombing of the Japanese army.

Seattle City is on the seashore, it is said to be the sea, but it is actually a bay, called Phuket Sound, and there is a city of Bretown on the other side of Phuket Bay, which is a naval base and one of the largest naval bases in the Northwest Territories of the United States. This time, Bremotown was bombarded devastatingly, with flames and smoke visible for hundreds of miles.

On the west side of Bremoston is a high mountain, called Mount Olympia, which is covered with snow all year round, and is a barrier in the Seattle area, and dozens of Japanese planes crossed Mount Olympia and bombed this base for two hours, with three waves of bombing before and after.

Several airfields in the vicinity were also bombed, as were two civilian airfields in the north and south, and all airfields were destroyed in the first wave of bombardment.

The three aircraft carriers anchored at the base were all on fire, and although they did not sink, they could not be used for several years. Several destroyers and frigates next to the aircraft carrier were sunk.

The Japanese were more mature in their experience of attacking military ports, and the oil depot near the wharf was blown up, where the flames and smoke rose from the sky.

Japanese submarines constantly appeared on the west coast of the United States, and the United States took measures. In addition to putting the Japanese in concentration camps, there was also the concealment of military targets.

The blow to Americans' confidence in the Seattle airstrikes was enormous, and although only the military knew the news, those who knew about it were all dismayed. After Pearl Harbor, the first reaction of the Americans was anger and a lesson to Japan. With the subsequent defeat of the US military in the Pacific theater, the confidence of the Americans was not hit again and again, and their confidence was not so full.

The intelligence services were immediately notified by the presidential palace to strictly search for leaks of military secrets. In this attack, someone must have leaked secrets. Who is it? The Japanese in the United States must be arrested. In addition to the Japanese, should the Germans be suspicious? Within an hour, several intelligence services unanimously pointed the finger at the descendants, especially the Germans who had arrived in the last decade or so.

Now, the US mainland has been attacked, and this is okay! Less than half an hour after the attack, the heads of state of several Allied countries were shocked when they learned the news, and the condolence telegram came immediately.

A few hours later, news spread again in the United States that the US Air Force had lifted off from an undestroyed air base south of Seattle to fight Japanese aircraft carriers off the coast of Seattle.

The air battle was fought between the mountains and the sea, and two hundred dozen American planes and a hundred Japanese planes began the air battle.

The U.S. military seems to have made up its mind to destroy the two Japanese aircraft carriers and destroy this fleet.

After a few more hours, the news came again that Japan had lost dozens of aircraft, and the United States had lost dozens of them.

The US Air Force added dozens of more aircraft, and the Japanese lost the air battle. The U.S. military is attacking the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.

The next day, on the 26th, the news came again that the US Air Force had inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet fought and walked, but was intercepted by the US Navy fleet that came from a detour, and the naval air force fought fiercely.

On that day, there was no report in the American newspapers at all, and there was no report on the radio. The U.S. government and all news organizations greeted each other and were not allowed to divulge military secrets.

In the evening, long-distance phone calls from the West Coast of the United States to various parts of the United States spread the news. The whole United States was in an uproar, and many people did not believe that Japan had the ability to attack the US mainland, but there were also many people who believed that Japan and the United States were evenly matched in the Pacific theater and had the ability to attack Pearl Harbor, so they had the ability to attack the US mainland.

At eleven o'clock in the night on the east coast of the United States, the major radio stations broadcast together the news of the attack on the west coast by planes from the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet a few hours earlier.

The United States was in an uproar. Twenty minutes later, citizens of major cities in the central and eastern United States took to the streets to protest against the atrocities committed in Japan. On the contrary, citizens of the West Coast are hiding in their homes, and the few with private cars, laden with luggage, have fled from the city to the eastern mountains.

Some politicians also held a press conference overnight to express protests and put pressure on the Diet to take further military measures against Japan.

The world's major news agencies have successively carried out news that the US Air Force is fighting two Japanese aircraft carriers.

One by one, the news spread to the world. People who care about the news hardly sleep, waiting for the next piece of news.

People believed that the end of this sneak attack on the Japanese fleet was a foregone conclusion. The fear was that the Japanese fleet would be able to strike at the continental United States. In that case, will the United States be able to defeat Japan?

What will the future of anti-fascism be?

The whole world war seems to have reached a low point.

A crisis should be a turning point. There are very few people who believe that a turnaround is coming, however, there are people who create a turnaround.

April 26, 1943. Mudanjiang.

By the time evening reached the west coast of the United States, it was already morning in the Mudanjiang River. There has long been an airfield in Mudanjiang, which was built by the Japanese. Since the recovery of Mudanjiang, the airfield has become a military restricted area and has been expanding.

There are dozens of planes parked in the airport today, and dozens of people are busy in the command center of the airport, sending out instructions one by one in an orderly manner.

Not only the headquarters of the Air Force was temporarily here, but also the headquarters of the Battle of Vladivostok was set up here.

The war in the Outer Northeast is going well, and today, the largest city, Vladivostok, is still in Japanese hands.

Since the end of several large-scale battles in the Outer Northeast, the Northeast Coalition Army has attacked cities and seized land, like a storm and clouds, and the Japanese army saw that the general trend had gone, and quickly concentrated the remnants of the troops along the way, and made early plans.

The remaining Japanese army was divided into three parts. One fled west to the front line against the Soviets and joined forces with the larger forces, and the other fled east from Boli to Sakhalin, where their plan was to hold Sakhalin.

The third part is contracted in Vladivostok, and the True North and the Northeast Coalition Army fight to the death, greatly depleting the Northeast Coalition Army. If it fails, it can wait for the Japanese navy to come to the rescue, and if it wins, it can counterattack and reoccupy Manchuria.

Vladivostok was like a hedgehog, and the Soviets had been operating it for many years, and the coastal fortress was extremely powerful. The Japanese occupied Vladivostok by land from the north, and knowing that the northern side of the city was weakly fortified, they built fortifications on the northern side. After the large-scale attack of the Northeast Coalition Army in the Outer Northeast, the Japanese army intensified the construction of fortifications. Now, relying on the army to attack will be very costly.

Soviet representatives estimated that without a few hundred heavy artillery pieces, it would be impossible to take the fortified city of Vladivostok in a few months by relying on the limited air force, few tanks, and dilapidated weapons of the Northeast Coalition Army. If you don't do well, the Northeast Coalition Army will be defeated under the city.

They also asserted that because the Northeast Coalition did not have a navy, an offensive from the sea was impossible, only by land from the north. The prerequisite for a land offensive was the destruction of the reinforced concrete defensive line built by the Japanese army.

Regardless of what people say, the Northeast Coalition Army still developed an offensive plan. A large army approached from the north of Vladivostok and surrounded the mountain city on the peninsula. The tanks of the Northeast Coalition Army ran out of fuel and were lying on their stomachs. It was suggested to concentrate the only oil supplies and transport them by rail to the front line for the attack.

After the concentration of fuel, there were only a dozen tanks refueled, but the railway was not repaired, and it was impossible to transport tanks by rail.

Observers saw that the Chinese seemed to be going to attack Vladivostok with their army. Crowd tactics?

After making a plan to attack Vladivostok, Xiaolu became an idler, and now he has been idle for a few days. He had to go to the roof of the airport every day, sometimes stopping for an hour at a time.

At this time, the staff officer brought an urgent telegram, which was sent by the United States, and when the staff officer handed it to him, his face was not good.

Xiao Lu glanced at the staff officer and knew that this was an important piece of information. After reading the content, it turned out that the west coast of the United States was attacked by a Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.

The Japanese attack was not expected. The army and navy were already fighting for dominance in the war, and the army did not create greater glory, so let the navy come!

Although the emperor has suppressed it in recent years, and the army and navy have not fought so much, on the whole, Japan's behavior in World War II was like that of a schizophrenic reckless man, fighting two people at the same time, and there was no strategic vision at all.

At the beginning, Xiaolu was a condition for retreat, and in order to accelerate the Japanese army's abandonment of Northeast China and Shenyang, the intelligence of a number of military bases in the United States was handed over to them. According to the shrewdness of the Japanese, they will definitely attack these military bases disguised as idyllic towns.

I had heard a few times about Japanese activities on the West Coast of the United States, and now they have launched surprise attacks. It's a pity that I have that information. Anyway, the Japanese were able to attack a few bases on the west coast of the United States, which was good.

Coincidentally, this time the Japanese attacked the mainland of the United States, just a few hours before they launched the final blow on Vladivostok. This Japanese attack on the United States could not have come at a better time. After the defeat of the United States, China won several battles, and the victory of the index significance was of great significance to China's international status after the war.

Xiao Lu, exchanging the telegram with the staff officer, without saying a word, turned away, facing west. He stuck his tongue out, wanted to feel something, quickly retracted it, and then, after a few mouthfuls, spit out the wind and sand in his mouth: careless, careless.

This is an airfield, the terrain is open, the expansion project is not yet completed, and there is a large amount of sand and soil piled up in the open air.

Everyone in the command knew what Mr. Lu was concerned about.

What does he care about?
