"Chirp...... Boom ~ Boom!! "The battleship Arizona was hit, and the most tragic thing was that the place where the 30,000-ton battleship was hit was the forward ammunition depot!

This immediately detonated the ammunition in the battleship, and then triggered an earth-shattering explosion! The sailors aboard the Arizona watched in despair as the ship slowly sank in the explosion.

"Boom!!" The smokeless powder magazine of the main turret was detonated by the flames, and the entire battleship was stunned! But then it sank straight to the bottom of the ocean at a faster speed......

"Oh God......" Countless people let out a cry of despair, but this did not stop the silence of the battleship. In just a few minutes, the 30,000-ton battleship was swallowed by the sea.

Including Captain Fan. A total of 1,177 officers and men of the battleship Arizona, including Colonel Walkenberg, were killed in the explosion......

Finally, a small number ......of US planes were able to take to the skies. They began to chase the Japanese fighters on the bombing mission, trying to relieve the pressure on the ships below.

But they were greeted by Japanese Navy Zero fighters, which dragged them down, while bombers and torpedo planes continued their mission of carrying out all-out bombing of intended targets on the surface and on the ground.

"We were attacked! All servicemen are invited to rush back to camp immediately! Repeat! We were attacked! All servicemen are invited to rush back to camp immediately! As soon as the Japanese began to attack, the KGMB radio station interrupted its program and constantly called the soldiers scattered everywhere to return to their combat posts.

The terrible air defense sirens continued to echo over Hawaii, and the soldiers on the shore who had been booked for anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun firing positions rushed into the attack positions.

At this time, the relieved US troops finally had a slight counterattack, and they were no longer passively beaten.

"Buzzing ......" the roar of planes was heard in the sky, it was a B-17 flying from the continental United States. At this point, they finally arrived at the Shigam airport.

But they were greeted by a large number of Japanese fighters, and these poor planes did not even expect to be attacked. Along the way, the fuel was already low and the pilots were extremely tired.

The worst part. They were all in transit and were not equipped with ammunition at all on the plane.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble!! "A B-17 was blown up in the air and a cloud of fireworks fell from the sky. The rest of the B-17s were forced to dodge the attack of Japanese fighters while looking for an opportunity to make a forced landing.

The attack continued, and 18 dive bombers from the USS Enterprise arrived. They were constantly circling the perimeter, gritting their teeth in an attempt to find the attacking Japanese fleet.

"Stupid! Don't you guys have radar?! Let them turn on the radar and find it! In the White House, Roosevelt saw the cannon master angry for the first time, and at this time, Tu Sancang was like a tiger that could devour people, with his hair all open, his eyes wide and his eyes wide, looking extremely human.

"Since the Japanese are fighting with planes, then the fleet must be not far away! Didn't your radar see each other before?! Determine the direction and let the plane follow the direction to find it! It's definitely around there! ”

Washington had already received a report from Pearl Harbor that Washington had convened an emergency meeting and that the White House guest had been invited by Marshall to attend.

The "Hinomaru" painted by the Japanese Navy is too obvious. The U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor immediately judged that it was a Japanese fleet that attacked them.

When it comes to the war against Japan, Marshall believes that the cannon has more right to speak. It was he who invited the three artillery to participate in this meeting, and sure enough! The three cannons broke the sky in one word.

Marshall suddenly realized, and quickly asked the adjutant to order Pearl Harbor to turn on the radar to find those damn sneak attackers. In fact, Marshall and those air forces are not to blame, at this time the radar has just been used in real combat not long ago.

It was because no one thought of using radar to find the Japanese fleet.

The cannon master was irritable in the crossing. After frowning for a while, he said to Marshall: "Don't let the navy go deep into the battle, this time people are prepared, if you rush up, you may be a pit filler." ”

"Just scare them away, it's important to see if those stalks will take down the other islands. After all, your main force has been attacked, and there is definitely no way to organize a counterattack for the time being. These people will definitely find a way to occupy some of the islands......"

The gun master said a variety of possibilities in one breath, and Marshall also calmed down at this time and began to analyze the purpose of the Japanese army's operation. There is no doubt that the purpose of this operation is to destroy the US Pacific Fleet.

But what motivates them to do this?! You know, it doesn't do them much good! In addition to completely offending the United States.

"These bastards! These damn Japs must be playing Southeast Asia's idea! Marshall came to his senses. Now France is already in tragedy, and England is in danger.

And those large European colonies in Southeast Asia must be in a panic right now. Japan is already short of resources, can you not be tempted to see such a large piece of fat?!

But the Pacific Fleet and the relationship between the United States and Europe. They are very jealous. So, they have now made a choice: to knock out the US Pacific Fleet first.

With the United States unable to send troops from the Pacific, occupy Southeast Asia and grab those resources to replenish itself. Marshall was a little annoyed, he had been reminded of this before.

But he really didn't expect the Japanese to be so bold! But it's normal to think about it. Germany's successive victories in Europe gave Japan confidence.

And if they don't get the resources, the battle won't be able to go on.

"Inform MacArthur. The Philippine side must be on guard! The country has entered a state of war readiness, and the Governor of Hawaii is requested to introduce wartime laws in Hawaii and establish a military-based governing body......"

After Marshall whispered his guess to Roosevelt, the president immediately gave orders to the secretary of state beside him. One by one, the orders were sorted out and spread to all parts of the country along the airwaves.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor continued, and the U.S. military simply had no way to stop these Japanese attacks. The slight resistance did not attract much attention from the Japanese army, who completely controlled the sky over Pearl Harbor and wantonly bombed the entire Pearl Harbor.

"Woo~woo......" The Japanese dive bombers began to enter the attack state, and by this time their bombing had spread to the entire island. Ships outside the harbor and north of the island began to come under strong attack from the Japanese.

The angry U.S. military tried to recoup some of its inferiority, but there was nothing they could do about the Japanese fighters flying in the sky.

At 10:00 a.m., the first wave of Japanese planes attacking Pearl Harbor returned to the warship. At the same time, the US reconnaissance plane, which had determined the direction through radar, also saw the Japanese warship from a distance.

Since the Japanese army's own planes took off and landed everywhere, no one noticed the different plane in the distance. The pilots who saw the Japanese fleet immediately contacted the Enterprise by radio and reported the situation here.

At this time, the Enterprise and its fleet were less than three hundred nautical miles from Pearl Harbor. And Nagumo Tadaichi's First Air Fleet was only more than 300 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor.

"It was determined that the sinking of 4 battleships also caused considerable damage to enemy airfields; Although the revolt intensifies, I propose to attack again. Mitsuo Fuchida, who was returning, reported to Nagumo Tadaichi, who was inquiring about the situation.

And the commander of the Second Air Force, Major General Yamaguchi Tawen, who was on the side, also said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander, my suggestion is the same as Fuchida's, I suggest that Your Excellency the Commander attack again!" ”

"If we can destroy more fuel, torpedoes, dockyards and infrastructure for the US military, then they will not be able to pose a threat to the Reich for at least one to two years. In this way, the empire can calmly carry out its Southeast Asian strategy. ”

The suggestions of these two people were not adopted by Nagumo Zhongyi, but he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "First of all, we have achieved the expected results. There's no need to take any bigger risks, have you noticed?! ”

"Two-thirds of our losses came from the second wave of attacks, and launching a third wave would risk using three-quarters of the combined fleet's forces to destroy targets, and the fleet would lose more aircraft."

After a pause, Nagumo Zhongyi said to the two of them: "Secondly, we don't know the location of the US aircraft carrier, whether the US air base has any residual aircraft that can pose a threat to the fleet, and whether the position of the fleet is within the range of the enemy's aircraft. It's extremely risky. ”

"The most important thing is that we didn't intend to do a third wave of attacks in the first place. If it is decided now, we will need some time to prepare. Even when the plane returns, it is likely to be ...... at night" Nagumo Tadaichi said with a wry smile: "Our pilots probably haven't reached the British technology that can take off and land decks at night, right?!" ”

Nagumo Tadaichi's words could only make the two of them sigh, and what he said was a fact that could not be ignored. Now we can only withdraw from this area as soon as possible, otherwise the US military will find that it may not be able to retreat in its entirety.

"Declare the end of the operation! When everyone is back, we'll evacuate immediately! ”

"Hail!!"

At 1:40 p.m., Washington time, Saburo Kurisu, who had gone to the United States to assist Ambassador to the United States Kichizaburo Nomura in negotiations, walked into the White House with a panicked face.

He was soon received by U.S. Secretary of State Hull, who then handed over an ultimatum from the Japanese Foreign Ministry.

"We already know, let's go!" U.S. Secretary of State Hull looked coldly at Saburo Raiqi and said this sentence through gritted teeth, just over ten minutes ago, the White House received a telegram from Pearl Harbor -- the United States has been attacked!

And this so-called "ultimatum" was exactly forty minutes later than the attack! After kicking Saburo Raisu out of the White House, Hull, who was holding the report, smashed the report to the ground and roared angrily!

"This is the most despicable government and the most distorted document I have ever seen in my fifty years in office!!"

PS: What happens next?! Let's make a prediction!
