calmly pulled the trigger, and the 13 mm caliber machine gun on the wing sprayed bullets, and soon the Japanese fighter who was struggling in pain was hit in the wing, seeing that the position was just right, Hou Yuzhong once again briefly pulled the trigger of the machine gun and fired several machine gun shells.

"Suddenly! Dodo! The cannon roared again, destroying the fragile wings that were already full of bullet holes, and the birds that had lost their wings would fall to the earth, and the planes that had lost their wings would also spin back into the arms of Mother Earth.

In the fierce exchange of fire below, there were very few Japanese planes, and when the last Japanese plane dragged the smoke to the ground, the Chinese planes did not lose a single plane, nor did they let the Japanese planes threaten the dive bombers by intercepting them.

"The 3rd Dreadnought Bomber Squadron calls the 5th Viking Fighter Squadron, our bombing mission has been completed and is ready to return, are you leaving?" In the headset, the commander of the Dreadnought squadron, who had completed the attack, asked.

"Understood! We'll escort you home! Attention all planes, attention all planes, we get out of this hellish place. "With the hum of the aircraft engines, the fighter pilots left this memorable place, where the Chinese fighter finally met the fighter of another country, and the result was desperate, the enemy still failed to shoot down a Chinese plane, and the gap became even greater.

At the White House in Washington at noon, Taft and his cabinet members and generals looked at a report, the dull atmosphere seemed to squeeze out raindrops, and the expression on his face was not only shock, disappointment, anger, but also puzzlement. This is an unbelievable report, in which the Chinese fleet sailed to the vicinity of Tokyo Bay, released hundreds of planes through warships called "aircraft carriers," crossed the tight fortifications on land and sea in Tokyo Bay and Yokosuka Port, and appeared directly over the Yokosuka Military Port through shore artillery and mines.

The U.S. troops in the military port were unprepared, and most of the warships were anchored in the harbor and became targets. Chinese planes dropped bombs by diving or flying horizontally, heavy aerial bombs easily penetrated the deck of battleships, and another type of aircraft attacked battleships by releasing torpedoes at reduced altitude.

From 7:40 a.m., the Chinese sent a total of three waves of aircraft, of which only the Japanese air defense units on land and the Japanese flew up to make limited resistance, but suffered heavy losses. The American warships and planes did nothing, watching as bombs and torpedoes burrowed into the battleship's belly.

The attack ended at about 10 a.m., with all the main forces of the Pacific Fleet sunk, and the surviving American officers estimated that the battleship was so badly damaged that it was not worth salvage and repair. The four Wuyue ships and the nine former Wuyue ships were all sunk, the cruiser lost 80 percent, the destroyer lost 60 percent, and most of the logistics ships, such as supply ships, oil tankers, and hospital ships, were destroyed. The 300,000-ton oil warehouse stored in the port of Yokosuka was destroyed, and the fire slowly depleted the oil until three days later, causing the military port to be burned to dust with little value for reconstruction.

"The degree of change in the war made us at a loss, and when China used the Wuyue ship to lead to the world's battleship race boom, they came up with the aircraft carrier, a new weapon, and the new battleship lacking air defense capability turned into a huge firework."

"Gentlemen, the gravity of the matter cannot be overstated, another piece of information from Guam, the Chinese soldiers have landed on Guam, and our defenders there have been outnumbered after hard resistance and have to surrender to the Chinese army."

"If Hua Guo is allowed to capture the Hawaiian Islands, our west coast will be directly leaked under the Chinese warships, and it is ridiculous that we have no fleet on the west coast to defend against the threat of Hua Guo!"

"The United States of America has reached a point of life and death, and the vast ocean is no longer a natural defense for the Americans, but has become a thoroughfare for China to attack the United States. I propose to declare war on China at once, and I will give a speech to Parliament in the afternoon, gentlemen, your task is to integrate the domestic military industrial complex, develop warships and weapons that can confront the Chinese army, acquire military supplies, formulate plans for military expansion and equipment construction, and establish coastal fortifications on the west coast. Even if we are at a disadvantage, after this difficult time, the Americans will drown the outwhelmed Eastern monkeys with a huge number of warships and troops! ”

At two p.m. on January 29, President Taft delivered a speech declaring war on China to lawmakers.

Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate and House of Representatives,

This morning, 29 January 1910 - a day of shame that must always be remembered - the United States of America was subjected to a sudden and deliberate attack by the Chinese Imperial Navy and Air Force. The United States and China are living in peace and are continuing to hold talks with their Government and President at the request of China with a view to safeguarding the interests of both countries and peace in the Pacific region. In fact, the day before the Chinese Air Force had begun bombing the port of Yokosuka, the Chinese ambassador to the United States submitted to our Secretary of State an official reply to the latest letter from the United States to the Chinese side. The reply stated that diplomatic negotiations would continue, and that they were in no way full of threats or hints of war or armed attack.

Yokosuka Naval Port is a U.S. lease in Japan, which is equivalent to U.S. territory! China's attack on Yokosuka is an attack on the American homeland, it is a provocation against the American people, China's declaration of war is a blasphemy against God, and the United States of America will meet China's challenge with unprecedented courage and defend the glory of Western civilization!

History will prove that Yokosuka's remoteness from China, and its deep location in the Gulf of Tonkin, shows that the attack was orchestrated over many days and even weeks, during which the Chinese government deliberately deceived the United States with false statements and an expression of its desire to continue to maintain peace.

This morning, China's attack on the port of Yokosuka caused serious damage to the U.S. Navy and Marines, and I regret to inform you that many Americans lost their lives. In addition, according to the Japanese government, an ally of the United States, Japanese ships, army units, air defense units, and army air forces in Yokosuka were all subjected to shameful attacks by China.

The Chinese have taken a surprise offensive throughout the Pacific, and this morning the Chinese attacked Guam, and soon they will be targeting the possessions of all civilized nations in the Pacific, and it is self-evident that the people of the United States have formed their own opinions, and they know very well that this is a matter of our national security and survival. China's attack has posed a challenge to world civilization and order, and the United States and Japanese allies strongly recommend that all Western countries declare war on China, especially by cutting off China's oil sources and trade routes between East and West.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have instructed to take all measures for the sake of our defense. However, our entire nation will always remember the nature of this attack against us, and no matter how long it takes to defeat this premeditated invasion, the American people, with their own righteous forces, must win an absolute victory.

We now prophesy that not only do we need to do our best to defend ourselves, but we will also ensure that this form of perfidy will never endanger us again. When I say this, I believe that I am expressing the will of the Congress and the people.

Hostilities already exist, and it goes without saying that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

Trust in our armed forces - relying on the firm determination of our people - that we will achieve inevitable victory, may God help us! I ask Congress to declare that the United States and China have been in a state of war since the unprovoked and despicable attack of China on Saturday, January 29, 1910!

Taft's speech was supported by thunderous applause, and the ensuing vote was unanimously approved by the Chinese Congress to declare war on China. The United States, which is at the peak of its economic construction and is trying to expand outward in search of interests, does not yet have much isolationism, and Americans have a relatively strong sense of foreign expansion and are also very interested in war.

Most Americans have no image of the tragedy that occurred in the port of Yokosuka, thousands of miles away, and they believe the words in the newspapers -- American shipyards will launch more battleships than all the warships in China within six months, American shipyards will build more advanced aircraft carriers, and American aircraft factories will build more advanced aircraft. Come join the army!

Of course, the facts are not optimistic, and even make the US military despair, even if the Japanese then declare war on China the next day and the Americans have more allies, it will not stop the despair that has spread within the military.

I don't know how many years these two difficulties will entangle the US military research and development department, and it will be tens of thousands of technical hurdles and progress at the entire scientific level, and it will definitely not be something that can be overcome in one or two years. Without aircraft carriers and corresponding advanced aircraft, what will the United States use to counterattack the Chinese Navy?

In desperation, the US Navy can only continue to increase the number of battleship orders and install a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on active warships, and the United States, which has taken the lead in making technological breakthroughs in anti-aircraft weapons, can finally have basic defense capabilities. In addition, in Hawaii and the West Coast, fortifications are also under construction, and the focus is still on anti-aircraft weapons. (To be continued.) )
