Chapter 432: A Different Battle of Pearl Harbor

readx; At the beginning of December, the situation in the Far East was confusing, and the Soviet battlefield, which had gradually become clear, suddenly made a great reversal, and with the entry of the Chinese Empire into the war, the superiority of the Soviet Red Army on the Western Front was instantly collapsed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Even if the German troops were unable to continue the siege of Moscow because the offensive had reached its limit at this time, their overall strength was still there, and the Chinese Empire had pinned down most of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East, so they did not dare to launch a large-scale pursuit of the German army.

When will the Germans be defeated? The Soviets didn't care about this, they cared if they could defeat them. However, the Western Front had proved this to them, and although the battle was hard, they were able to withstand the enemy's attack and crush the enemy's attack.

At this time, the Soviets will have to set their sights on the Far East, and they must give the Northern Army Group of the Chinese Empire, which is gaining momentum, to take the lead in the face, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the fighting on the Western Front, and it is very likely to affect the situation at home.

But the Soviets were also very embarrassed, how should this battle be fought? Let who fight? Although they temporarily withstood the German attack, the Germans did not surrender, and they still threatened Moscow.

For defense, the Soviet Union needed a large number of troops to support, and by this time the roads were closed by heavy snow, the railways had stopped transportation, and the troops on the Western Front could not support the Far East.

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, December 7, 1941, the day of the full-scale outbreak of World War II in history.

U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and some of his aides went their separate ways and enjoyed the wonderful week, resting at home or going out on vacation.

The U.S. intelligence department had secretly reported to Roosevelt and others that they had planned to attack the Pearl Harbor fleet, hoping that Roosevelt would order the fleet to prepare or leave the port.

But Roosevelt didn't pay attention to the intelligence department's intelligence, he just responded lightly I know, and then sent the intelligence bureau personnel away, after which Roosevelt found Harold Stark, who was then the secretary of the navy, and the two exchanged their opinions on the matter.

After that, everyone already knows the history, and after the two discussed, they found an excuse to transfer the Hawaiian aircraft carrier, and the entire fleet stayed in Pearl Harbor except for the aircraft carrier.

On the seventh day of December, Roosevelt was more himself, and Secretary of the Navy Harold Stark went to the beach for a vacation, as if he didn't know anything about it, and he scolded the leaders of the intelligence bureau angrily.

Will the tragedy of the previous life be repeated in this life? The answer is obvious, it will definitely not be repeated, because there was no shadow of Su Dao in Pearl Harbor in the previous life, and in this life, Su Dao gave full play to what he knew.

In mid-November, the Imperial Chinese Ambassador to the Imperial Court quietly entered the palace at night, and this time he did not say those words in front of the ministers, but met with the Emperor alone.

The plan for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor had been put forward a long time ago, but the War Department did not agree, but the Admiralty was at a new height at this time, and the Army had not recovered since it was disarmed, and most of the steel that Su Dao had aided them had been used to build warships.

Although the strength of the army has been weakened a lot, the strength of the navy has increased a lot, so it is not without any certainty that the Admiralty dares to propose a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Although most things are still developing in accordance with the true trend of history, the reasons for these things have changed, the previous life was said to be for themselves, and the life of this life was said to be to get more support from Su Dao, and now Su Dao has made enemies with the United States and the Soviet Union.

The army is so uncompetitive that the whole army has not yet reached the level of a rifle per person, and it will definitely not be able to help on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, so the Admiralty came up with the idea of going to war with the United States, and the original intention of this idea came from the Chinese Empire's conquest everywhere, coupled with the massacre of local natives in the country.

He was afraid that one day this situation would fall on them, and the Chinese Empire only instructed them to disturb the passing ships in the Pacific, and there was no special advice on the others.

Yue Ben gradually felt as if he was about to be abandoned by the Chinese Empire, and how could he be at ease with the status quo, who had no allies? They had to hug the thighs of the Chinese Empire and keep up with the last train of the war, if it was any later, when the Chinese Empire defeated the Soviet Union, then they would have no part in the soup.

And why did the Chinese Empire let them bother passing ships? Isn't it just to contain the United States, which has been almost done now, and there are fewer and fewer merchant ships in the Pacific, and the income of the Pacific Ocean is getting worse day by day, and if we don't start a war, the people at home will starve to death.

Before the Imperial Chinese ambassador approached the Emperor, the Emperor had agreed to the Admiralty's request, and a day later, the attacking Navy would be.

At this time, the ambassador found the emperor, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then felt that things seemed to be a little bad, this guy didn't come sooner or later, but the fleet was just about to set off and he came, did he want to stop this war?

In the midst of all kinds of entanglements, the ambassador in Yue said the purpose of his visit, and directly said that he already knew about their plan to attack Pearl Harbor, and set a request for the emperor, in fact, there were only two points, of course, two points were added to the original plan.

First, the shipyard docks in Hawaii had to be completely destroyed, and second, the oil depots on Pearl Harbor had to be blown up. If these two points are met, the Chinese Empire will double its steel aid next month as soon as the mission is completed.

As a result, His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly contacted the commander of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, and Yamamoto Isoroku also felt a little strange after hearing the Emperor's advice, these things were supposed to be done by the Navy, and there was no need for special advice.

But Yamamoto Fifty-six didn't know that Nagumo Tadaichi was afraid that the United States would suddenly attack, and the originally planned three waves of offensives only carried out two waves before they began to retreat, which eventually led to the United States being able to restore the Pacific Fleet's combat effectiveness within a year, which led to the accelerated demise of Nagumoto.

However, because it was a special instruction from His Majesty the Emperor, Yamamoto Isoroku still went to inform Nagumo Tadaichi, who was appointed as the commander of operations, according to the order, and specifically told Nagumo Tadaichi that as long as the mission was successful, he must complete the two points assigned by His Majesty the Emperor.

And although Nagumo Zhongyi was quite dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, only said that if there was a chance, he would definitely follow the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor.

In fact, Nagumo Tadaichi's heart was still beating a drum at this time, he didn't know whether the fleet would be able to successfully reach the intended attack position, he didn't know if the U.S. fleet would find them in advance, and he didn't know if the U.S. Air Force would be waiting for them.

In this way, on the day of December 7, Nagumo Tadaichi appeared at the predetermined attack position with six aircraft carriers and 441 planes, and on the way they were successfully dying, and no one discovered their whereabouts at a distance of more than 3,000 nautical miles.

Early in the morning, the HNA began to take off, the target was directly aimed at Pearl Harbor, and the tragedy of Pearl Harbor finally happened, the first wave of the offensive was quickly completed, and the process was surprisingly smooth.

With a skeptical mentality, the second wave of attacks also began, and the results were as smooth as the first wave of attacks, and the two waves of attacks can be described as fruitful, sinking a total of 12 warships, including eight battleships, and destroying more than 300 American fighters, while only 29 of the fighters were lost.

This result shocked Nanyun Zhongyi even more, and the doubts in his heart were also a little deeper, and at the same time, he gradually felt a sense of unease.

And Nagumo Tadaichi had already had the idea of retreating at this time, this victory came too suddenly, before that, Nagumo Tadaichi was even mentally prepared to be sunk three aircraft carriers, but the final result was only the loss of twenty-nine aircraft.

However, remembering what Admiral Yamamoto had specially confessed before leaving, and it was the emperor's personal explanation, Nagumo Tadaichi, who wanted to retreat, had to temporarily suppress the idea of retreating, and began to find the pilots who had just returned, asking if they had destroyed the shipyard, dock, and oil depot?

The result was tragic, their key targets were all on warships and fighters, and no one attacked the dock and oil depot, and in desperation, Nagumo Tadaichi could only tragically order the launch of the third wave of offensive, with only one purpose, to destroy the dock and oil depot.

However, because Nagumo Tadaichi was afraid that the fleet would be retaliated against by the U.S. military, he transferred the position of the fleet after the carrier-based aircraft took off. Perhaps because he was too worried, or perhaps in order to do the opposite, Nagumo Zhong immediately ordered the fleet to move south.

Because he felt that when he went back, he must not take the same way he came, otherwise it would be easy for the Americans to intercept him, so when he came, he took the northern route, but when he returned, he took the southern route.

However, history seems to have played a joke on everyone, and it was precisely because of the continuation of the third wave of attacks, and because of Nagumo Tadaichi's concern that he ordered the fleet to move south, so the distance of their return voyage must have changed.

Historically, the U.S. aircraft carrier Enterprise was on its way back from Wake Island at this time, and as long as the fleet could attack one day later, or pass by the south on the way back, it would be able to intercept the Enterprise on the way.

After the third wave of attacks, the air force successfully destroyed the dock and the US oil depot.

And because the pilot was too careful when he blew up the oil depot, for fear that he would not be able to aim accurately, the height of the fighter plane was not very low, and as a result, because of the explosion of the oil depot, the fighter plane was directly swallowed up.

This oil depot is one, that is, as long as one bomb goes up, the entire oil depot will be reimbursed, and at the cost of losing one bomb, one fighter plane, and one pilot, the other side has successfully blown up the oil depot that the United States has stored for a long time.

When the third wave of attack formations returned to the aircraft carriers, the loss of the entire air force was only more than forty fighters, and their results shocked everyone.

So on the way back, everyone also raised their vigilance, for fear that they would suddenly encounter an interception by the US military, but the tragic Enterprise, because of Su Dao's advice, forced Nagumo Tadaichi to launch a third wave of offensive, and it was precisely because of this that the route of the anti-voyage was slightly changed, resulting in the Enterprise and the fleet colliding together.

What does the Enterprise do on Wake Island? It was to transport fighters and supplies, so at this time there was no combat effectiveness on the Enterprise aircraft carrier, and after the Air Force took off, it did not take much effort to sink the Enterprise aircraft carrier. (To be continued.) )
