At about 7 o'clock in the morning, Washington, D.C., the capital of the Stars and Stripes Republic, Roosevelt, had just gotten up and washed up, ready to enjoy the delicious breakfast of beef nǎi and bread on the table in the White House restaurant. Halfway through his meal, one of his assistants pushed open the door to the restaurant and walked in briskly.

"What's wrong?" Roosevelt asked, somewhat surprised.

"Your Excellency President, General Nimitz of Hawaii has sent an urgent telegram that the Pacific Fleet has been attacked again by the Japanese Combined Fleet in the early hours of this morning!" The assistant said.

"What!?" Roosevelt, who was tasting the delicious taste of freshly baked bread, subconsciously stopped his finger and asked loudly.

"Hawaii is under attack again!" The assistant nodded heavily and repeated.

Fifteen minutes later, in the White House conference room, Roosevelt urgently convened a meeting of his staff to discuss the military situation in Hawaii.

"Gentlemen, the situation is critical, Hawaii is once again under air raid by the Combined Japanese Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet is in a great crisis!" Roosevelt, who was sitting at the conference table, spoke.

"Your Excellency President, not long ago, our Pacific Fleet was severely damaged in the Battle of Bougainville Island with the Japanese Combined Fleet, and all the main aircraft carrier fleet was sunk, and now the Pacific Fleet actually only has one aircraft carrier 'Enterprise' that is still in dockyard for maintenance, and the 'Assault' drawn from the Atlantic Fleet, as well as a light aircraft carrier to support the situation, and now they are all assembled in Pearl Harbor!" Said an admiral.

"Is this attack the same as the last one?" Having heard the admiral's words, Roosevelt asked his confidant, Durak of the CIA.

"Your Excellency the President, it wasn't those consortiums that did it, last time they used various reasons to transfer three aircraft carriers out of Hawaii two days before the attack, and this time they didn't have any hints or actions." CIA Durenc replied.

"Do we have any good idea of what we can do now about the Pacific Fleet that comes to the aid of Pearl Harbor?" Secretary of State Joel asked.

"I'm afraid it's enough, the mobile aircraft carrier forces in our hands, except for the three aircraft carriers that are already in Pearl Harbor, are still on the slipway!" Bernanke, who was in charge of the deployment of state supplies, looked at the notepad in his hand and replied.

"How much time will it take for the new aircraft carrier to be completed?" Roosevelt, who knew that the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor at this time was probably already unlucky, and that it would be more necessary to rely on the new forces to launch a counterattack in the future, spoke and asked.

"At the beginning of the year, we planned to build a total of nine Essex-class aircraft carriers this year, due to the naval battle a month ago, the 3 Essex-class aircraft carriers that entered service in advance were all sunk, so in May, Congress passed a resolution to add 4 Essex-class aircraft carriers to the construction plan, counting the 6 that stayed in the slipway to start construction, a total of 10, but this year can be completed I'm afraid only about 4~5 ships!" Bernanke replied.

"Not enough! 4 ships are not enough! Bernanke, you deploy enough additional personnel and supplies to ensure that at least 6 aircraft carriers enter service on time this year! Roosevelt, who knew the combat power of the Japanese fleet, deliberately instructed.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Bernanke nodded in agreement.

"Your Excellency, what about the Pacific Fleet and Pearl Harbor now?" The admiral, who had spoken first, asked again.

"I'm afraid we're going to have to accept another Pearl Harbor shame!" Thinking of the last attack, Roosevelt shook his head and said.

At this time, a man who looked like an assistant suddenly broke into the house, ignored the eyes of the people around the conference table, walked quickly to Roosevelt's side, and said: "Your Excellency, the latest telegram from Hawaii, several battleships of the Japanese Combined Fleet have begun to attack the beachhead, intending to launch a landing war!" ”

"What!?" When everyone in the room heard this, they all said together in shock.

At the same time, the southern coastline of Hawaii is sandy.

Since the Stars and Stripes Republic, from top to bottom, never thought that the Would-be Bandits would have the courage and ability to launch a landing operation against Hawaii, most of Hawaii, except for the heavily defended area around Pearl Harbor, was still in a state of resort sanctuary - undefended.

At this time, the original beautiful seaside beach has become a mess. The main gun caliber installed on the Yamato-class battleships is 18.1 inches (460mm), 45 times the length of the barrel, and the total weight of each triple turret is more than 2,500 tons, which is equivalent to the tonnage of a regular destroyer. As for the four 410mm twin turrets of the Nagato-class, although they are slightly less powerful, they are rich enough to clear the enemy near the beachhead.

"Buzz~~Boom~~, Buzz~~Boom~~" A tearing sound like the roar of a train kept coming from the air, and after falling to the ground, it set off one dirt flower after another, creating one large foxhole after another.

According to the previous plan, the three Yamato-class ships were to suppress the fire of the batteries near the Stars and Stripes defenders, while the three Nagato-class ships were to scramble to clear the potential threat from the landing site.

More than 20 minutes later, as the 90 landing craft went ashore in turn, and after lowering the front panel, the little devil's 97 reform chariot slowly drove down and drove in the direction of the enemy's location in front, while the more than 2,000 Japanese devil soldiers who accompanied it quickly followed up and followed the armored chariot to kill the houses and residences along the way.

"Poof, poof, poof!" The shè sound of the 38 big cover was endless.

"Da Da Da ~~~" Taisho 11 light machine gun continued to spit out bullets.

"Pounce, pounce, pounce!" The sound of grenadier attacks came and went.

"Killer machine!"

"Kill!!"

"Onboard! Attack!! ”

Starting from a sandy landing site in southern Hawaii, the Japanese landing force of the Guan Dong Army quickly scattered and attacked.

At the same moment, the office of General Nimitz.

"Suzu~~~"

"Hello, I'm Nimitz! Hmm~~ What do you say?! The enemy landed on the beaches of the southern coast!? Hearing the latest information on the phone, Nimitz couldn't help but wonder loudly.

“yessir! The enemy has come ashore from Hethley Beach! "With the occasional background noise of bullets bursting through the phone, a Star-Spangled Banner officer reported loudly to Admiral Nimitz from a landline.

"Quickly organize your forces, build defensive positions, and block the enemy's attack!" Knowing that the war situation in Hawaii had reached the most critical point at this time, Nimitz ordered loudly.

“yes,sir!”

After putting down the phone, Nimitz looked at Smith and shook his head.

"It seems that Yamamoto is not only bold enough, but also terrible!" Smith sighed and said, "How many troops are there on the island?" ”

"There are less than 20,000 people, and half of them are recruits who haven't gone through any war!" With a wry smile, Nimitz replied.

"Send a radio on the island, order everyone to pick up guns and fight, now we can only rely on ourselves, the president has no reinforcements to send there, and just supporting some destroyers and cruisers is simply sending them to death!" Smith, who is familiar with the current state of the Stars and Stripes Republic's naval forces, suggested.

"Okay, but the enemy is clearly prepared, and hopefully we won't be like MacArthur!" Nimitz replied.

"Now the initiative is no longer on our side, I hope the number of landing troops of the Japanese is not too much!" Smith shook his head, then continued: "Just in case, I'll go and prepare an evacuation route, how about leaving with a submarine?" ”

"Hmm~~~ Well, then how careful you are!" Nimitz hesitated for a moment, and finally it was the reality of his own existence, overwhelming the knight Jing God, and replied softly. Seeing his boss's permission, Smith gave a military salute and walked out quickly.

At about 12 noon, more than 25,000 Japanese landing troops had come ashore one after another, occupied a considerable area of Hawaiian islands, and fanned in the direction of Pearl Harbor.

"Mike, I'm running out of bullets, where's yours?" By the wall of a private house, Simon asked his companions.

"Mine isn't much, there are more than 20 left, damn it!" Mike replied. Although the sustained firepower of the Garand M1 semi-automatic rifle is far better than that of the little devil 38 big cover (there have been examples in later generations, 2 M1 can suppress the firepower point composed of 5 38 big covers when the ammunition is sufficient), but due to the extremely sudden occurrence of the war, the soldiers are seriously short of ammunition, and even many Star-Spangled Banner soldiers do not have guns around them at all, and even if they do, they do not carry many bullets, which makes the problem of Garand M1 semi-automatic rifle bullets more prominent. Soon the Garand M1 rifle cartridges for shè shots ran out.

"What should I do?" Simon asked.

"Two ways, either find a way to get back to the arsenal now, where there are enough bullets, but it's too far from here, it's dangerous! Or follow me back to Lily's house, where I left a shotgun and a revolver! Mike glanced at the Japanese soldiers not far away and said loudly.

"Lily? You really got along with her, and you pretended not to tell me! Hearing that Lily was soaked by the other party, Simon shouted dissatisfied.

"Damn it, Simon! Now is not the time to discuss this, damn, don't ask you, come back to Lily's house with me, quick! Seeing that his comrades-in-arms had signs of "disconnection" in their brains, Mike helped his head and shouted as he ran.

"Wait for me!" Seeing his companion striding away, Simon fired another shot in the direction of the little devil, and then quickly followed.

Hawaii Central Hospital, which was originally a very beautiful place, has a stone fountain in front of the hospital gate, a simple ramp, and a two-story building with mottled green leaves, and the whole building is extremely beautiful. But at this time, everything here has become an important stronghold and position to block the enemy's advance, the statue of the fountain has been broken, the glass of the hospital window has been shattered, and there is a sense of war smoke.

"Da, da, da!" From behind the stone walls of the fountain and from the windows of the hospital, fierce gunfire rang out from time to time.

"Kill a few!"

"Rush, kill!"

"Ahh Ah~" (the sound of the little devil being shot and falling to the ground)

After a few back and forth charges, the little devil was already in front of the hospital, throwing down dozens of corpses.

"Quick, let the chariots come up to support!" A Japanese soldier Cao said.

"Hey!!"

A few minutes later, the two 97 medium chariots slowly drove up, and the "creaking" sound of the tracks gave the Star-Spangled Soldiers a great sense of oppression.

"Dangdang~~" The bullets of the dense Garand M1 hit it, except for a series of sparks, it was impossible to give the little devil chariot any threatening blows at all.

"Boom! Rumble! "The sound of the chariot firing in the Ninety-Seven Change.

"Whoa, whoa!" The windows of the hospital were broken and scattered, and the resistance of the Stars and Stripes soldiers in the house was immediately weakened.

"Attack a few times!"

"Kill!"

Seeing that the enemy's firepower had weakened, the Japanese army Cao immediately ordered a strong attack. Similar scenes were staged all over the island, including the Hawaiian Hospital battlefield, to varying degrees, because of the lack of necessary anti-tank equipment such as bazookas, the defensive strongholds established by the Stars and Stripes Army, which were slightly difficult to overcome, were easily destroyed by the 97 Modified Combat Vehicles called by the Japanese Invaders.

In a high ground in eastern Hawaii, General Nimitz temporarily transferred his headquarters. Looking at the battlefields across the island through high-powered telescopes from the hillside, the smoke of gunfire fills the air, and it is clear that the situation is extremely unfavorable for one's side. Quite a few Stars and Stripes citizens living on the island ran everywhere and were overwhelmed, and some women even shouted and hysterical because of fear.

"Nimitz, it doesn't look like we're good!" Smith, who was standing next to Nimitz, said.

"The enemy is too well prepared, there are a large number of tanks to help in the battle, and now we lack enough anti-tank weapons, and the battle situation is very dangerous!" Nimitz replied, and then ordered the adjutant beside him: "Let all the units that can be contacted quickly move to the vicinity of the battery, and rely on the battery's firepower there to re-establish the line of defense against the enemy." ”

“yes,sir!”

An hour later, with the exception of occasional sporadic resistance, most of the Stars and Stripes were withdrawn to their nearest batteries.

Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi, the flagship of the Wako battleship squadron and the bow of the battleship "Kamakura" (Yamato-class), is listening to a report from his subordinates.

"Report! Your Excellency Nagumo, a telegram has been sent from the landing force, the enemy is retreating into the fort shè boundary one after another, our attack has been frustrated, and we have requested fire support from the battleship formation! The adjutant said.

"Well, let the three Nagato-class battleships join the bombardment battery array, and at the same time let the army provide the coordinates of the enemy's position!" After hearing the adjutant's report, Nagumo Tadaichi ordered.

"Hey!"

As beams of radio waves were transmitted on the island's surface, the six battleships entrenched on the southern coast of Hawaii maneuvered in turn, turned the turrets, fine-tuned the angle of the gun barrels, and then "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Continue to fire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! As the black sè clay flowers bloomed, the newly established defense line of the Star-Spangled Banner was facing collapse in an instant, and the atmosphere of pessimism and despair began to spread among the defenders of the Star-Spangled Banner's batteries, and the entire defense line of the Star-Spangled Banner army faltered.

By the time the landing operation began in the early morning to about 4 p.m., the 1st Guan Dong Army, the Japanese landing force, had already occupied more than two-thirds of the entire island of Hawaii, and was only one step away from a full-scale capture of Hawaii.
