"Air Raid !!" The screams woke up the entire Hawaiian Islands. Countless soldiers rushed to the anti-aircraft gun positions everywhere www.biquge.info the airfields were on duty, and the fighters on combat readiness duty at the airports everywhere desperately launched their fighters and rushed into the blue sky to intercept the enemy fighters. However, it was too late in time.

The Americans were very clever in choosing completely new tactics. They knew that the Ming Navy had a large number of radar stations and anti-aircraft lookout posts on the Hawaiian Islands. In order to evade these reconnaissance devices and successfully achieve the surprise attack, the Americans chose the attack formation to carry out low-altitude sea-skimming flights.

The radar performance of the early models is very average, and there will be large dead spots when detecting the air, especially near the sea surface.

The US Navy, which is also equipped with radar itself, has long formulated and practiced the tactics of low-altitude sea-skimming flights to evade radar detection, and this time it has directly used it.

The US Navy's air strike formation, after entering fifty nautical miles, lowered to the altitude of sea-skimming flight. This avoids detection by long-range air-to-air detection radars. In addition, because the time was close to evening, the patrol planes and patrol boats of the Ming Navy were basically in the process of returning at this time, and they failed to find this huge attack formation.

Halsey was strict in governing the army and was very close to training. The quality of the trained US military pilots is very high, and the sea near Hawaii is calm and in an excellent flying environment at the moment. Therefore, it was not discovered until the Americans approached the islands and began to increase their altitude. And this period of time is no longer enough for the shore-based troops of Daming Naval Airlines to fly fighter planes.

There were no more than 100 Ming air defense fighters that took off urgently at various airports, and then the airfields were flooded by the swarming US fighters. Numerous bombs destroyed the runway, and even the number of planes in Daming Hainan Airlines could not take off. The red-eyed pilots could only watch the US fighter planes wreak havoc in the sky.

The fighters that took off urgently were mixed up with the US escort fighters, and their insufficient numbers could not stop the attack of the huge US fighter formation.

"Knock knock!" The thousands of anti-aircraft guns placed everywhere by the Ming Navy roared wildly, and a series of shells flew into the air, turning the entire sky into a sea of fire.

Explosions, roars, fires. Shrapnel flew sideways, and gunpowder smoke filled the air. The artillery on the ground resisted frantically, and the American fighters in the sky were also fighting desperately. The entire Hawaiian Islands were stained red with blood.

"Bastard! Bastard! Standing next to a window on the second floor of the Pacific Fleet Headquarters, Yunmo, whose face was flushed, shook off the marines who stepped forward to take him away and go to the underground fortress. Panting heavily, staring at the American fighter planes flying wantonly in the sky, there seemed to be a raging flame burning in his chest.

This time it was really capsized in the gutter. Yunmo raised his hand and ripped off the wind and discipline buckle on his military uniform, and he couldn't care about these at this time. Yunmo, who felt that his scalp was exploding, shouted loudly with red eyes: "Let all the planes that can take off get up!" All the battleships in Pearl Harbor are out, all are out of port! ”

The headquarters of the Pacific Fleet is located next to Pearl Harbor and is surrounded by coconut palms and tall trees. At this time, the original green lawn had turned into mud at the moment, and after being burned by bombs and fire, the entire lawn was in ruins. Not far away, in Pearl Harbor, many Ming battleships began to pressurize the boilers while using various weapons to fire fiercely in the air, trying to start the battleship to leave the port.

Fortunately, not long after the First Air Fleet entered the port, many officers and men on the warships did not leave their warships for maintenance. Some of the ships even went to sea for testing outside the port. This allows them to respond to air strikes in the first place.

The Americans spotted the aircraft carrier Red Sea moored in the harbor, and the huge straight deck was so conspicuous that the American pilots were so annoyed that they wanted to drive the fighter plane into it.

Because they did not expect that there would be an aircraft carrier in Pearl Harbor, the formation of US fighters that came to attack this time did not carry armor-piercing shells at all. Moreover, the torpedo planes were all hung with high-explosive shells and were used as horizontal bombers. At this time, looking at the aircraft carrier Red Sea, which was docked at the berth like a target ship, the mood of the US pilots can be imagined.

Although Halsey's order was not to attack the Ming warships, the main targets were the various Ming airfields in the Hawaiian Islands. In Halsey's opinion, as long as the shore-based forces of the Ming army are destroyed, the warships in those harbors will be completely a casual meal by tomorrow. However, the appearance of the Red Sea caused some American pilots to change their established orders, and they chose to surprise the large aircraft carrier.

About 40 US warplanes launched an attack on the Red Sea. They were part of the assault force that attacked a large airfield about two kilometers northwest of Pearl Harbor.

When they flew over Pearl Harbor, they spotted the Red Sea aircraft carrier with its chimneys beginning to smoke and pressurizing its boilers in preparation for starting, and after a little hesitation, the commander of the air raid formation rushed towards the Red Sea with his own group.

"Air defense! Air defence! All fire! Because Tong Haifeng, who was ashore at the meeting, could only stand in the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet at this time, anxiously watching the fierce battle in Pearl Harbor.

Watching dozens of U.S. fighter planes rushing towards the last aircraft carrier in his hand one after another, Tong Haifeng's unusually smooth nails were about to be broken.

These high-ranking generals of the Ming army didn't know that these US fighters were carrying high-explosive bombs. Their faces are all very ugly, after all, what is the navy called a navy without warships for an admiral? Don't look at the fact that there are only dozens of planes, the battleships in Pearl Harbor are basically moored in their berths, and a round of attacks will cost several large warships, especially the aircraft carrier Red Sea, which does not look like it can escape the catastrophe.

"How did those torpedo planes fly so high?" Just when Tong Haifeng closed his eyes with despair on his face, Li Ru on the side suddenly said loudly, "It's strange, are Americans crazy?" ”

"Huh?" Tong Haifeng, who hurriedly opened his eyes, took a closer look and was stunned to find that the torpedo plane, which was supposed to be flying at a low altitude to throw torpedoes, was now flying high in the air, and this strange performance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Instead of torpedoes, they're hanging bombs!" A general with a telescope in his hand suddenly shouted: "They didn't actually have torpedoes?" What's to be done? Is it a ricochet attack? ”

The torpedo plane hung aerial bombs at a horizontal height and made the bombs jump up and rush to the battleship as if they were hitting the water by inertia, increasing the range of attack. This type of attack attacks the entire hull of an enemy ship and has a much larger bomb area.

Moreover, the aircraft dropped bombs before they rushed to the target, which avoided the need to rush through the enemy's fire network during conventional bombing, and was much safer. The bomb jumped on the surface of the water and exploded on the side or hull of the enemy ship, and the power was not small at all.

However, this attack method requires professional training and operation, and it is obvious that US military pilots are not familiar with it. Most of the bombs they dropped were off target, and many crashed into the berth embankment.

Moreover, this is Pearl Harbor, which is the most important naval base of the entire Ming Navy. At this moment, the military port is full of warships of the Ming Navy, and these warships are full of anti-aircraft artillery.

Most of the U.S. fighters caught in the crossfire were shot down, and only a small number of fighters escaped after the attack. And most of the bombs they concentrated their fire on the Red Sea missed. The only two hits and one bomb was a dud.

A huge column of water rose from the left side of the Red Sea. The entire Red Sea shook in the explosion. When the water subsided, the flames flared. Tong Haifeng, who had just secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his heart again, he really couldn't bear this kind of loss now.

Fortunately, although the power of high-explosive bombs is not weak, it is not enough to kill an aircraft carrier with a single bomb in the face of a large warship with solid armor and watertight compartments. The Americans are not using alien bombs, they are not so powerful.

After the crew of the Red Sea repaired and damaged the ship, the battleship was quickly saved. It only left a huge black stain on the left side of the ship, as well as a crack. The crack was quickly repaired by the damage crew.

There was no loss of the battleships in Pearl Harbor, but many of the airfields set up by the Ming navy on the islands were all fiercely attacked. Hundreds of warplanes were blown up on the ground. The runways of all airfields were destroyed, and the remaining fighters could not be lifted into the air. The whole of Pearl Harbor lost the support of air power.

"It's over?" More than half an hour later, when the US fighter plane, which had finished dropping its bombs, flapped its wings and flew towards the distant sea in the afterglow of the setting sun. Yunmo, who had calmed down, clenched his fists tightly and asked loudly.

"Yes." Li Ru swallowed his saliva, looked up at the sunset that was slowly sinking at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance, and said softly, "If there is another wave of attack planes coming, then Halsey is not a brute, but a madman." ”

The greatest strength of the aircraft carrier formation is the carrier-based aircraft force, and once the carrier-based aircraft force is completely lost, the aircraft carrier will lose its role.

If Halsey really sent all the fighters, then he would have lost at least half of the carrier-based planes when he recovered! Taking off and landing warplanes on rough seas at night is no fun thing. That's really going to kill people.

"What now?" A group of ugly-looking generals gathered on the lawn in front of the fleet headquarters building, looking at the officers and men of the Navy who were busy cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded. Everyone's mood was extremely heavy at this time. (To be continued.) )
