Target plane, mid-to-late June 1943, in the central Pacific Ocean, 260 nautical miles southeast of Hawaii in the Republic of the Stars and Stripes. At this time, it was a little more than 5 o'clock in the morning, and the sea surface was already slightly bright, and you could clearly see the beautiful sea surface of the deep blue sè, with white clouds in the sky and a gentle sea breeze blowing in the face, which was very suitable for the aircraft on the aircraft carrier to take off and land.

At this time, the bow of the aircraft carrier "Xianghe", the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku saw that the expected time for the attack had finally arrived, and his heart couldn't help but beat a little faster, and his palms were already a little sweaty.

"Report, Your Excellency Yamamoto, the fleet has reached the target sea area and has not encountered enemy ships or warships along the way!" An adjutant came to Yamamoto's side and saluted.

"Well, what time is it?" When Yamamoto heard this, he nodded and asked.

"It's 5:11:34 a.m."

"Send a signal to order the first wave of attack aircraft to prepare to take off and carry out the attack!" Admiral Yamamoto took a deep breath before ordering.

"Hey!!"

Half a minute later, signal flags were waved back and forth between the warships of the Combined Fleet, and the six "Xianghe"-class aircraft carriers began to clear their decks one after another, preparing to guide fighters and bombers into the air.

"Da~Da~Da~" (engine start)

"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~" (the sound of the propeller turning)

Accompanied by the sound of the engine starting and the rotation of the propeller, more than 30 minutes later, the first wave of 239 planes (including 120 ultra-zero fighters) took off from the six Japanese "Xianghe"-class aircraft carriers in turn, and then flew in the direction of Hawaii and Pearl Harbor, at this time, there were still about 40 minutes before they flew to Pearl Harbor.

More than 20 minutes later, at a radar station in southern Hawaii (equipped with SCR-270 mobile long-range Jing ring radar), two First Class Privates of the Stars and Stripes Republic Navy were on duty here, and one of them, a sergeant named Honey, suddenly found that the radar showed that a large number of unidentified planes were flying at high speed 150 miles south of his position and 5 degrees east.

"Jack, can you see what's going on?" Honey asked loudly as he shook his companion's shoulders vigorously.

At this time, Jack was still a little sleepy-eyed, and replied in a daze, "What's the matter, Honey?" ”

"Look, the radar shows a large number of planes approaching!" Seeing his companion's confused state, Honey shouted loudly.

"What!?" Jack, who finally understood his companion's words, asked in shock.

Half a minute later, the Hawaiian Fort Shaft Intelligence Center.

"Suzu~~~"

"Hello! This is the Fort Schaft Intelligence Center! Said Lieutenant Spier, the officer on duty.

"This is the Wheeler radar station, and we have noticed a large number of unidentified planes approaching in the southeast direction!" Private Honey on the other end of the line shouted.

"Roger! Thank you! After the duty officer, Lieutenant Spier, immediately put down the phone, and then dialed the phone number in General Nimitz's house.

Three minutes later, Nimitz rushed to his office, and five minutes later, General Smith also got up from Susan's snow-white thighs and rushed to Nimitz's side.

"Have you found out about the other party? Was it sent from the locals? Nimitz asked the officer on duty, Lieutenant Sbill.

"Sir, the record sheet shows that no planes are scheduled to fly to Hawaii this morning!" Lieutenant Spierre, the officer on duty, replied succinctly.

"Smith, it looks like you're really right with your crow's mouth!" After hearing the report of the officer on duty, Nimitz and Smith looked at each other for a moment, and then said to Lieutenant Beale, "Pass my order, and immediately sound the island-wide air defense report!" ”

β€œyes,sir!”

A minute later, a terrible air raid whistled over Pearl Harbor and Hawaii!

In the dormitory, in the bar, and on the lawn, many soldiers of the Stars and Stripes Republic either opened the windows, or walked out of the door, or stood up from the grass and open beds, and looked at the sky with some doubts, and then everyone soon understood that this was the air defense jingbao, and the hellish scene two years ago suddenly appeared in front of many people's eyes, the air raid jingbao! This is not a drill!!

Pilots, ground crews of the airport, and defense units immediately rushed to the nearby airfield and anti-aircraft artillery positions. For a time, Wheeler, Hickem Army Airfield, and Kaneohe Naval Air Station were busy with chickens, flying dogs, and jumping around.

"Damn, fast, order the fighter to take off, 120 km southeast of the target direction!" The officer on duty at the tower of the air station greeted loudly.

"Sir, some of the pilots are still on their way, and our combat readiness plane has been refueled, parked in the hangar, and ready to take off at any time! But we don't have enough pilots now! The colleague next to him replied loudly.

β€œ**! How much more time do they need? ”

"I don't know, but I think it will be about the same in 5 minutes, after all, they should have heard the air defense jing!"

"Hurry, hurry!" The officer on duty at the tower slammed his arm against the window and whispered.

3 minutes later, the first Stars and Stripes took off from the Hickam Army Airport, and then there were planes in turn, but because not all the pilots stayed around the airport, some for love, for the sake of pickling girls, and went to places where no one was around, such as the Hawaiian border, so when they found the means of transportation and rushed to the airport, more than 10 minutes had passed, such a hectic, noisy, and disorderly situation, although it was much better than the last time the Japanese raided Pearl Harbor, the Stars and Stripes had no response, But it also relatively reduces the take-off efficiency and take-off speed of the fighter.

After 15 minutes, only more than 70 fighters took off to meet the battle, and instead of hovering in the air, waiting for their teammates to form a battle formation, they played a knightly spirit, and formed a flight team to intercept the enemy planes in twos and threes, as for the remaining fighters, they were either waiting for the pilot, or when the pilot arrived at the nearest airport to him, the combat-ready planes that had been filled with fuel and loaded ammunition were all flown away by others, and the newly arrived Star-Spangled Banner pilots needed to wait a little longer. Ground crews can only take off after they have been loaded with fuel or ammunition. At this time, it was only a few minutes before the first wave of Japanese attack planes arrived in Hawaii.

"Damn it, man! Come on, hurry, hurry! A pilot sitting in the cabin said loudly as he looked at the ground crew who were busy below and were loading ammunition.

"Yes, right away, right away!"

"Work harder, man!!"

Five minutes later, with the fire of the anti-aircraft artillery around the island, the first wave of Japanese attack aircraft flew over Hawaii, at this time the entire Japanese group only about 160 aircraft, about 60~70 planes on the road and the Stars and Stripes to meet the enemy planes to start an encounter, but because the Stars and Stripes of the land planes are all taking off in twos and threes, so when they encounter a reasonable position in the air and have a numerical advantage of the Japanese fighter group, the first one to face suffered heavy losses, and more than 70 Stars and Stripes Republic fighters have participated in the battle, More than 20 were directly shot down, and only 2 ultra-zero fighters were lost.

At this time, over Pearl Harbor.

"Takahashi-kun, according to the plan, first focus on attacking the airfield, the high-altitude artillery positions and the anchored warship anti-aircraft guns!" The commander of the second attack team of the Japanese invaders, Captain Gao Yan Chenxiong, said.

"Understood! I led the 1st Assault Team to the Hickam Army Airfield, Saito-kun was responsible for attacking the Wheeler Army Airfield, and Gao Yan-kun was responsible for attacking the warships in the military harbor! Hearing the words of his colleague, the commander of the 1st Strike Team, Captain Takahashi, replied.

"Received, understood, I wish the martial arts a long time!"

"Onboard! Martial arts for a long time! ”

"Good luck! Good luck for a long time! ”

Ten seconds later, the attack teams of the Japanese group went to their respective targets in turn and bombed. At the same time, Yamamoto Isoroku, who was good at gambling, did not release the second wave of attack groups after an hour, as he did in the last surprise attack on Pearl Island, but ordered the second wave of planes (more than 120 bombers and dive bombers, and 80 super-zero fighters to escort the escort) to take off and attack 15 minutes after the first wave of attack groups left. In addition, Captain Tatsuo Gao sent back a telegram informing the Combined Fleet that after discovering two enemy aircraft carriers in the harbor, Yamamoto Isoroku immediately determined that the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes was within a few hundred nautical miles of the vicinity, and there was no other mobile fleet that could threaten the existence of the Combined Fleet, so he immediately ordered that in addition to leaving about 30 Zero fighters to protect the aircraft carrier formation, about 140 other fighters formed a third wave and quickly took off to participate in the attack on Pearl Harbor and Hawaii.

Tokugawa Okuma was a cadet who had just graduated from the Ukan Naval Aviation School a few months ago, and it should be said that he was still very immature, but after experiencing the recent naval battle on Bougainville Island, both his mentality and experience were rapidly mature, and at this time he was flying in the Zero fighter at a 45-degree angle in the direction of the Stars and Stripes airfield.

"Horn, horn!" Along the way, he remembered the scattered sniper shots of the Star-Spangled Soldiers, but Tokugawa ignored the high speed, and finally found what he thought was a valuable target - a truck full of Star-Spangled Soldiers that was speeding towards the airfield.

"Oh my God! Get out of the car! "Seeing the approach of the enemy's plane, the people in the car shouted.

"Get off, get off!"

"Distracted, distracted!"

A carload of people quickly got off the ground and ran around, while the driver of the car accelerated and forced the car to the left, hoping to dodge Zero's attack.

"Da !!" The 7.7mm machine gun of the Zero fighter, pouring a large number of bullets from a low altitude, grinned cruelly at the corner of the mouth of the Great Bear Tokugawa.

"Puff~~" (the sound of a Star-Sphangled GI being shot in the body)

"Ahhh~~~" (the sound of being hit in the thigh and falling to the ground wailing)

"Boom~bang!" (The sound of a truck being shot and exploding)

In just one photo, the Star-Spangled Banner suffered heavy losses, and such a scene is repeated all over Hawaii.

It was almost 6 a.m., and since the first wave of the Japanese attack cluster had launched, the whole of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii had been filled with gunsmoke. Twenty minutes later, when the second wave of Japanese attack planes also flew over Hawaii, nearly 400 combat and bomber planes firmly gained absolute air supremacy over Hawaii. On the side of the Stars and Stripes Republic, counting the more than 70 fighters that took off at the beginning, in the end, less than 100 planes took to the air to meet the enemy, and because of the scattered battle formation, the wingman cooperation could not be smoothly in place, coupled with the Xing energy and numerical superiority of the Japanese Super Zero fighters, it only took more than 30 minutes to start the war, and two-thirds were lost, and the rest were also at a disadvantage and extremely dangerous, all of them were suffering from self-protection and exhaustion, and they were unable to provide effective air support for the ground forces at all. As for the remaining planes on the airfield, they were reduced to piles of scrap metal in a massive machine-gun sweep and bomb bombardment, emitting black smoke and blazing.

"Damn it, take off, take off!" The tower saw a Hellcat fighter plane taxiing in the middle of the runway, and couldn't help but shout anxiously. Different from the heroic immortal plot of the later movie "Pearl Harbor", the Japanese pilots who found the enemy did not give the enemy any chance at all, and the sweep of the two ultra-zero fighters in front and behind easily blew the Stars and Stripes plane, turning it into a fireball, burning lonely on the runway.

β€œ**!” The officer at the tower couldn't help but pinch the military cap on his head, threw it to the ground, and cursed.

"Sir, be careful!" Almost at the same time, a super-zero fighter plane flying from a distance easily shattered the glass of the airport tower with its own 12.7mm machine gun bullets, and many of the Stars and Stripes soldiers who were still in their seats did not react at all, and were killed straight on their seats with blood splashing on their chests and heads.

"You're a dog!" Seeing the heavy losses of his subordinates, the tower officer couldn't help but roar wildly with red eyes.

Thirty minutes later, the first wave of the Japanese attack planes ran out of ammunition and began to return home, while the second wave of attack planes maintained their ground attack and maintained air supremacy.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The muzzles of the high artillery positions have been spewing angry flames.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The Stars and Stripes soldier raised his M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle and slammed into the air without stopping.

"Da Da Da!" The M2 machine gun on the jeep also roared under the control of the officers and men of the Stars and Stripes Army!

"Poof, poof, poof!" Some Stars and Stripes Army officers even raised their pistols from the windows of their buildings to shoot at the low-altitude Japanese planes.

Fifteen minutes later, the third wave of the Japanese attack aircraft arrived over Hawaii, and the second attack wave began to return. At this time, the main fleet of the Combined Fleet had sailed into the sea 160 nautical miles from Hawaii, and the first wave of attack groups that were the first to return began to land on the decks of six aircraft carriers in turn, quickly replenishing ammunition and fuel.

"Quick, tow the plane that has already landed to the side so that the other planes can continue to land!" A Japanese naval officer shouted.

"Hey!"

"Hey!!"

"Refuel, load bombs, refill machine gun bullets!"

"Quick, quick!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

The aircraft carrier "Shozuru", the flagship of the United Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, is observing the landing of the returning aircraft.

"Did the third wave go well?" Yamamoto Fifty-six watched through a telescope and asked the adjutant beside him.

"Hey! Your Excellency Yamamoto, everything is going well, now the air supremacy of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii has been in the hands of our army, the planes on the ground at the enemy's airfields have been basically destroyed by our army, and the first wave of attack planes returning to the country is expected to be replenished with fuel and ammunition, and they can set off again in 30 minutes and continue to attack the enemy positions in Hawaii! The adjutant reported.

"Good! Now the troop carrier detachment was ordered to set off, 6 battleships to surround and protect, and 10 destroyers to accompany the detachment for air defense. Tell Furyufan that after approaching Hawaii and suppressing the firepower of the battleship, wait for the opportunity to release the landing craft and launch a landing operation! After hearing the adjutant's report, Yamamoto Fifty-six then ordered.

"Hey!" As soon as the adjutant replied, he went to issue the order.

A few minutes later, the troop carrier, which had been in the center of the Combined Fleet, escorted by 6 battleships and 10 destroyers, began to sail towards Hawaii.

Thirty minutes later, the 1st Attack Group, replenished fuel and ammunition, regrouped and headed for Hawaii. At the same time, the second wave of aircraft returned home and began to land.

After another 30 minutes, the second wave re-launched and continued the offensive, by which time the first wave had already reached Pearl Harbor and Hawaii, continuing to control air supremacy and bomb the Stars and Stripes flagship's air defense positions.

One hour later, in a long slanted sandy beach area in southern Hawaii, with the three Yamato-class and three Nagato-class battleships in the distance firing in turn, the Stars and Stripes defense force in this area was quickly suppressed and emptied, and after the fire clearance lasted for more than 20 minutes, several destroyers arrived near the beach to carry out fire cover, and then nearly 100 landing craft loaded with Japanese 97 combat vehicles and thousands of soldiers of the Guandong Army, violently killed the beachhead, and the Hawaii landing battle officially began!
