"If it was before, relying on the strength of our aircraft carriers, there would be no more than a month to destroy Pearl Harbor, and it would be a delusional pure crispness. But now the United States has given us this opportunity, and we only need one bomb to make the entire Pearl Harbor dockyard and the supporting shipbuilding industry without chickens and dogs. Jun Shanyi sold a pass, and he didn't explain everything.

"Oh! Jun Shanjun, do you know something? Nagumo Zhongyi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, before the meeting, there was an update from Oahu that illustrated the problem." Jun Shanyi took out a piece of information from his pocket, and on the cover of the information, there was also a cherry blossom printed on it, and then he said: "According to the latest news from the spies at Pearl Harbor, they have ascertained that since last year, 4.5 million tons of heavy oil have been stored on a small hill three kilometers behind Pearl Harbor, and there is no means of protection and no isolation. And the heavy oil is still arriving in a steady stream, and now, there are nearly 10 million tons of heavy oil stored there, and this amount is increasing every day, do you understand now? ”

None of the people in the conference room were stupid, Jun Shanyi said this, and everyone understood. As long as this heavy oil is detonated, Pearl Harbor will be completely on fire.

Because of the U.S. commitment to Europe, and also in response to unexpected events in the Pacific, there is no substitute for the heavy oil that has been accumulated over a long period of time. Without this fuel, it would be impossible for the U.S. fleet to launch any combat operations starting at Pearl Harbor for several months. Once the oil storage tank was bombed and the fire was triggered, the fire of 6 million tons of heavy oil that burned would not be extinguished by any firefighting means. Nothing else is needed. This fire alone would have completely destroyed Pearl Harbor and burned out the possibility of its continued existence as a military port. When the time comes, the entire Pearl Harbor, including the docks, machine shops, and repair shops, will be destroyed in the fire.

And to rebuild this military port, even in the United States, which has already achieved mechanization, it is impossible in a few years. Without a forward base, the U.S. Navy had to retreat 3,500 kilometers back to San Diego, California, and from there to fight again would not have the freedom that the U.S. Navy enjoyed throughout the Pacific War.

"I would like to add that in this plan I propose to dispatch at least twelve aircraft carriers. Divide our carrier-based aircraft into four groups. The time for the front and rear groups to gather shall not exceed half an hour. The first group mainly attacked American airfields and anti-aircraft fire, and secondary attacked warships anchored in harbor. The second and third aircraft groups cooperate with submarines to attack surface ships, and the bombs they carry are preferably 1,000 kilograms. Fourth Fleet. In addition to attacking surface ships. The target is the shipyard and the oil depot. The fourth batch of attacks is the most important. is the top priority of the attack. In order to ensure the maximization of the benefits of the operation, Jun Shanyi said more carefully, "The above is a plan to be implemented without an aircraft carrier in a military port, and once an aircraft carrier is in a military port." The main goal of the first group is the aircraft carrier, and the first task is to destroy the aircraft carrier. ”

Sanben Fifty-Six and Nanyun Zhongyi glanced at each other, and then nodded one after another. Jun Shanyi's suggestion did make Yamamoto Fifty-six realize many flaws in the plan, and he really admired this new star of the staff headquarters of the base camp in his heart.

"I have benefited a lot from Jun Shanjun's suggestion, and we will revise the plan in detail." Yamamoto Fifty-six got up and said solemnly.

"General Yamamoto, these suggestions are what you should say as an imperial soldier, but in order to prevent long nights and dreams, it is inevitable that something will go wrong as time goes on, so I suggest that this plan be implemented as soon as it is ready. The General Staff Headquarters of the Base Camp will also keep an eye on all the information on Hawaii and strive for no variables. "Junshan Yidao.

……

ZTE 14th year, October 25.

An assault formation consisting of 12 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 8 submarines, 3 cruisers, and 9 destroyers set sail from the Kuril Islands to the east, passing through the northern route, which is windy in winter and there are few ships, and using radio silence and other covert means to approach Pearl Harbor, the main base of the US Pacific Fleet, to carry out the surprise attack plan formulated by the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto.

The Japanese assault squadron received information that the spies were lurking in Pearl Harbor, and a total of 9 battleships, 3 cruisers, and 17 destroyers were moored in the harbor, and there were 4 cruisers and 3 destroyers in the dockyard. There were no news of torpedo nets or balloons in the harbor, and there were no emergency announcements in Hawaii.

The sneak attack fleet has quietly reached the waters north of Hawaii. As soon as Nagumo Zhong got the above information, he immediately gave the order to attack, and he knew very well that the three aircraft carriers could not be allowed to leave the port.

Under the cover of the morning fog, the Japanese reconnaissance planes had already taken to the air, and then the carrier-based planes also began to rise one by one, and 240 carrier-based planes formed the first wave of attack echelons, and twenty minutes later, the second batch of 240 planes also took off.

And on the outskirts of Oahu, eight Japanese pocket submarines are already in place. Not just eight, but one submarine is hiding outside the mouth of the Pearl Harbor waterway. Compared with Japan's eight pocket submarines, this submarine is much larger, and it is the most advanced conventional submarine in China at present, with an underwater displacement of 2,500 tons. Four 633-mm torpedo tubes, 24 wire-guided oxygen torpedoes, or 48 mines. The underwater navigation speed is 18 knots, the limit depth is 300 meters, and the establishment is 67 people.

Although the electronic system on this submarine is not as advanced as the Typhoon, it is also ahead of the world, especially the sonar system is quite advanced, one is installed in the bow of the intermediate frequency active and passive search and attack hull sonar, and the other is installed on the side of the passive low-frequency search sonar array, equipped with a towed passive sonar system. The photoelectric mast system of the Zhou-class submarine is very advanced, and the photoelectric detection system includes television cameras, infrared imagers, etc., and is also equipped with a plane search radar and a radar warning system.

In the distance, a slender antenna floats on the surface of the sea, swaying in the waves. Through the scattered code of the ultra-longwave radio station, the signal corps in the submarine constantly summarized the content of the intelligence.

"Report to the captain, according to the latest intelligence, two waves of carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese assault group have departed, and it is expected that they will arrive at Pearl Harbor in ten minutes. The three US aircraft carriers have already lifted anchor and are leaving port with the help of towing boats, and it is expected that in 15 minutes, all three aircraft carriers will leave Pearl Harbor. Headquarters ordered us to block the U.S. aircraft carrier in the entrance and exit lanes of Pearl Harbor while ensuring our safety and not being detected. ”

"Got it, keep listening. Ten minutes later, we got into action too. Liu Anshun nodded.

He and Xu Wei are old classmates and old comrades-in-arms, a while ago I learned that Xu Wei went to the Atlantic Ocean for a walk, and was personally received by His Majesty, and also got a medal, and the three silver stars on the epaulettes have also become four, and one step closer can be replaced with a shining golden star. This made him happy for the old fellow, but also envious. Now that he has been given such an opportunity, he has put a lot of energy into the task of this trip. This battle must be fought beautifully.

Although Xu Wei's car was the Empire's most advanced nuclear-powered attack submarine, Liu Anshun was also confident that he would use the Empire's most advanced conventional-powered submarine under his feet to complete this covert operation brilliantly. Let others see that the Empire is not only a nuclear-powered submarine with strong combat effectiveness, but also a conventionally powered submarine, and it is also the existence of the Niu 13.

"Japanese submarines are slowly approaching the mouth of Pearl Harbor, and four submarines have quietly entered Pearl Harbor." The radar soldier looked at the changing red dots on the monitor and spoke.

"Continue monitoring, and after eight minutes, retract the dragging wireless receiver. All the men immediately went into combat mode. "With Liu Anshun's order, the combat indicator light on the submarine began to rotate. Seeing the swirling red light, all the crew put down everything in their hands and quickly shuttled through the various cabins to return to their combat posts.

At 5:42, American minesweepers spotted a periscope in front of the port of Honolulu, and the destroyer USS Walter opened fire and dropped depth charges. Although the Walter immediately reported the matter to the naval headquarters, it was not taken seriously. The U.S. Pacific Fleet only mistook it and didn't care.

Hawaii was still in the middle of a Monday morning before the sun rose, and only a few people on the island had risen, and most of the soldiers were still resting. At 6:30 a.m., two U.S. radar crews at the Opana radar station spotted an unidentified object approaching Oahu (actually an aircraft carrier reconnaissance aircraft of the Japanese assault fleet) on the screen, but did not report it. Soon, after the screen showed a large group of planes approaching from the north, they rushed to contact the air defense center that an unidentified object was approaching the base (without mentioning the scale), and the lieutenant on duty reported that they should have seen a patrol from the U.S. airport in Honolulu, or a B-17 bomber from the U.S. mainland California.

At 7:40 a.m., one hour and 40 minutes after the fleet left the aircraft carrier, Pearl Harbor was in sight.

The boilers of the three American aircraft carriers began to be pressurized, and with the help of towing vessels, they were already far from the berths and were preparing to sail out of Pearl Harbor.

Under water, the sonar equipment of Japanese submarines has observed the movements of American aircraft carriers, and the commanders of various submarines have given orders to prepare for an attack. The submarines have also risen to the depth of the periscope, and they are waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

Behind the Japanese submarines, the Zhou-class submarines of the Chinese were also in place. Liu Anshun's purpose was very simple: to sink the US aircraft carrier when it was about to pass through the narrow channel of Pearl Harbor, sink it in the channel, block the way out of the US fleet, and make the US fleet a turtle in an urn.

This situation is too good for him to be better, because his target is the American aircraft carrier. The worst-case scenario is that the US aircraft carrier leaves the port ahead of schedule, and then he will have to go to the ocean to face the aircraft carrier. Now all you have to do is block the waterway, and the Japanese will take care of the rest. He also has another purpose, to get rid of these small Japanese submarines. (To be continued.) )
