In the war room of the Dachu aircraft carrier, Vice Admiral Ge Cunsheng was anxiously waiting for the results of the two 'Sea Hawk' high-speed and high-speed reconnaissance planes sent out to reconnoiter Pearl Harbor to return.

According to the plan, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese task force will mainly take advantage of the superiority of Chinese planes in altitude and speed to carry out horizontal bombing from a high altitude after the first wave of air attack planes of the Chinese army has completed the first wave of air raids on Pearl Harbor. Compared with the level of medium- and high-altitude horizontal bombing by the United States, Germany, and other countries, the bombing technology of the KPA Air Force and the airborne equipment required for the corresponding horizontal bombing are much more advanced.

Although the effect of dive bombing is good, in addition to being easily exposed to the eyes of the people themselves and the Americans, the battle loss ratio is also really very high, and if the countries are still at the original level of World War II, it would be better, but now, as the air forces of various countries are generally stronger than the original historical development level, the anti-aircraft firepower has also been greatly improved.

Therefore, Zhang Shusheng has always attached great importance to training horizontal bombing technology at medium and high altitudes, and it is okay if the hit rate is a little lower; after being equipped with several instruments that can improve the effect of horizontal bombing, when there are enough planes, it is better than diving down to meet the dense anti-aircraft firepower.

The entire 'Yellow Sparrow' plan has been fully demonstrated, every step is rigorous, and even enough contingencies have been taken into account.

Jiang Ming, the captain of the Da Chu aircraft carrier, raised his wrist and looked at the time, and couldn't help frowning, "Vice Admiral, according to the scheduled plan, the first wave of attack aircraft is less than 30 minutes away from Oahu. Judging from the army's sneak attack plan, Pearl Harbor should have been attacked at this time, and the Sea Eagle reconnaissance plane should have a result. ”

"Wait." Standing in front of the huge topographical map of Pearl Harbor, Ge Cunsheng said firmly.

According to the 'Yellow Sparrow' plan, the first wave of attacks by the Chinese task force must be carried out only after the Sea Hawk high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance planes send back enough favorable information. Otherwise, even if Pearl Harbor is only a ten-minute flight, the first wave of planes will have to find a piece of the sea to drop bombs and then return home.

This good information is that it can only be considered good enough if the first wave of Chinese aircraft has launched a surprise attack and successfully disrupted Pearl Harbor's defense system before the arrival of the first wave of Chinese planes, and except for some of the Japanese fighters who have suppressed the battlefield on the battlefield, the other first wave of attack planes have returned.

Otherwise, if you rush over, even if it is a so-called 'help,' it may cause the Chinese planes to fight over Pearl Harbor. That's when the biggest joke in the world will be made, a chaotic battle of hundreds of planes.

Therefore, in the Yellow Sparrow plan, this wave of horizontal bombing must be carried out in absolute safety, and if the conditions do not allow, the aircraft group will even take the initiative to return home, after all, the Chinese attack aircraft group with radar early warning aircraft has a great advantage over the aircraft group of the Yue himself, at least, relying on the speed of the aircraft group, when the large aircraft group of the Japanese army is discovered in advance, it can quickly avoid it. As for the small group of military planes that may be encountered, they were shot down directly.

The Seahawk high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft is a new type of aircraft that only completed its second test flight at the beginning of the year. When the Yellow Sparrow Project was first established, it was not even equipped in the troops. In the following months, the aircraft completed the final commissioning on the Navy aircraft carrier, and successfully took off and landed on the aircraft carrier, completing the scheduled reconnaissance mission.

Previously, the reconnaissance planes used by the KPA were simply modified from high-speed fighters, which lacked sufficient capabilities to carry out front-line reconnaissance. In the face of the nearer and nearer all-out World War II, Zhang Shusheng found that not only the People's Army Air Force, but also the naval aviation and the army urgently needed a front-line reconnaissance aircraft.

It was designed to be able to climb to an altitude of 15,000 meters in 5 minutes and maintain a maximum level flight speed of nearly 800 kilometers.

Moreover, as an aircraft designed for front-line reconnaissance, in addition to high altitude and high speed, it must also be equipped with highly efficient ground photography and reconnaissance equipment.

Among the existing aircraft, the Jian-2 fighter and the Jian-3 fighter have undergone many improvements, especially after replacing the newer Kunlun engine, and the flight speed has been greatly improved compared with the beginning of the finalization. Among them, the maximum level flight speed of the J-2 fighter has been increased to 650 kilometers, which is close to the speed of the prototype J-3 fighter. The J-3 fighter, which initially had a speed of only 620 km, has been improved and replaced with engines and strengthened fuselage, and its speed has increased to 770 km/h, which has already surpassed the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter that the Americans have just equipped. In terms of the maximum level flight speed of 690 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 9,000 meters, the Thunderbolt fighter will certainly not be able to catch up with the Jian-3 fighter.

What the Seahawk high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft needs is a prototype with a mature structure, solid and reliable, especially at high altitude and high speed.

As a result, the J-3 fighter once again became a modified template machine.

By removing all weapons, removing armor at key positions, and moderately modifying the structure of the model, the Jian-3 high-altitude reconnaissance model was finally equipped with the 'Sea Hawk's Eye' high-altitude photography system.

The maximum level flight speed at an altitude of 10,000 meters has increased to 810 kilometers per hour, and it has been able to laugh at the world, even if it does not fight back, and now except for China, no plane can catch up with it in the air.

Shortly after the task force had already taken off the first wave of attack planes, two Sea Hawk high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance planes, somewhat similar to Jian-3 fighters, were rapidly approaching the skies over Oahu at an altitude of 10,000 meters, less than 10 kilometers from Oahu.

"02 machine, in front of Oahu. Our aircraft has turned on the panoramic infrared camera and the front-range camera, and is ready to lower the altitude and conduct battlefield reconnaissance. ”

The two Sea Hawk reconnaissance planes that reconnoitred Oahu this time, the 01 machine was mainly responsible for taking pictures on the battlefield, and the medium-altitude visual reconnaissance over the battlefield, while the No. 02 machine was different, it was not equipped with such complex photographic equipment as the 01 machine, only a high-altitude infrared panoramic camera, which only needed to assist the 01 machine in taking pictures of high-altitude penetrating clouds.

Its actual mission is to carry an air-to-ground dual-purpose search radar with an action range of 30 kilometers, and the purpose of transforming it is to cooperate with the No. 1 aircraft to carry out battlefield search and vigilance.

Just 2 minutes ago, on the onboard radar oscilloscope of No. 02, a large area of dense aircraft signals was already seen.

"02 machine received, I have turned on the infrared panoramic camera. The target was reconfirmed, and the radar characteristics were consistent with those of the Zero carrier-based aircraft, the Aichi bomber, and the Nakajima attack aircraft. The number of aircraft is about 220-290. ,01 machine, 5 kilometers in front of you, there is a team of planes at an altitude of about 3500 meters, and the others are more than 10 kilometers away from you, it is recommended to reconnoiter at an altitude of 5000 meters, good luck. ”

"Understood."

After receiving the reply from the No. 02 radar plane, Lieutenant Liang Zhikai, the pilot of the No. 01 front cabin, reconfirmed the report of the camera crew in the rear cabin that the photographic equipment was working normally, and then began to slow down, and only after the speed of the aircraft dropped below the safe value did he quickly reduce the altitude at a large dive angle.

In a violent turbulence, the altitude of the aircraft was rapidly reduced, and soon, as the values on the altitude indicator table were constantly changing and decreasing, from time to time, the altitude of the No. 01 Sea Eagle reconnaissance aircraft finally dropped to an altitude of 5,500 meters.

"Unit 01, 3 kilometers ahead of you, there are a large number of aircraft at an altitude of 500-3000 kilometers, and they are still rapidly reducing their altitude, and they are expected to launch a surprise attack immediately. There was a difference of less than 2 minutes between the time and the time they were scheduled to fight. "Unit 02 quickly reported the information to Unit 01 via the on-board radio.

Liang Zhikai pondered for a moment, and then replied, "The air raid of the Yue army is about to begin, and I want to pass over Oahu at high speed to reconnoiter the battlefield situation. ”

"Understood, good luck." Unit 02 replied.

Because, just five minutes ago, they had already received a notification from the Chinese task force that the first wave of attack aircraft was less than 40 minutes away from Oahu. According to the plan, the attack aircraft group of the task force will have to fight a time gap, and the first wave of aircraft will basically avoid the first wave of the army's aircraft group, and there will be only 15 minutes of attack time. Although, compared with the same short airstay attack time of the aircraft (for absolute safety, the single flight range of the Japanese army is more than 1 hour, and the overall airstay time of the aircraft group is relatively short. After all, the Chinese fleet only needs to carry out horizontal bombing or secondary horizontal bombing of ports, oil depots, aircraft maintenance plants, airport runways, etc., and does not need to dive to fight.

After intensive modification, it is equipped with the second-generation 'Songshan' horizontal bombing system, and its sighting system part includes a simple mechanical computer for calculating the impact point, a telescopic eyepiece, and a high-precision automatic gyro horizontal stabilization system for stabilizing the Songshan system.

In the test, the bomber equipped with the Songshan horizontal bombing and sighting system was very satisfactory, although the horizontal bombing effect on large buildings such as warships, ports, and barracks was not as amazing as that of the dive bomber.

During this 15-20-minute time gap, the Americans were completely stunned and would not have any power to fight back. They would never have imagined that as soon as the fleet left, a second wave of planes from China would arrive without stopping. Of course, if they try to resist the incoming fleet of aircraft at high altitudes, the Chinese escort fighters will unceremoniously eliminate them, and they will be killed along with the pilots.

Liang Zhikai quickly lowered his altitude, the weather was not bad today, and at an altitude of 5,000 meters, he was finally able to visually see Oahu in front of him.

In his field of vision, he saw a dense crowd of planes, more than 200 planes, almost covering the sky over Pearl Harbor.

From the previous intelligence, Liang Zhikai knew that this was the first wave of combat planes that his 11 aircraft carriers took off. It seems that there are a lot of them, but in fact, the other side mainly has to guard against as many as 9 aircraft carriers of the American Pacific Fleet, as well as hundreds of carrier-based aircraft.

At this time, the group of planes had collectively lowered their altitude and began to dive and attack, and even his own fighters joined the ranks of strafing the airport runway at low altitude and shooting the port navy.

"01 aircraft, about 50 aircraft left the formation, they are flying into the distance, probably searching for other aircraft carriers of the Americans."

Looking at Pearl Harbor from a distance, Liang Zhikai did not know how many aircraft carriers, battleships or other warships there were in the harbor, until he flew over the head of the plane and Pearl Harbor at high altitude and high speed, and at that moment, he saw clearly that there were only three aircraft carriers, two escort aircraft carriers, and one large and medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons.

The characteristics of the aircraft carrier are really easy to identify, the long deck, from an altitude of 5,000 meters, Liang Zhikai, who has undergone special training, can even see the US carrier-based aircraft parked above, as well as those US soldiers who are either panicked or at a loss after seeing the unknown aircraft flying towards the port.

What is very surprising is that Liang Zhikai's plane flew from an altitude of 5,000 meters, but did not encounter a single plane, even when he turned and flew back again. Obviously, he had searched the medium and high altitudes a long time ago and had not found any US planes at all, and such a plane flying quickly at medium and high altitudes had not been noticed. Of course, even if a machine suddenly climbs to a height of more than 5,000 meters, or may find the No. 01 machine, the No. 02 machine can also give an early warning, and the No. 01 machine can quickly climb high. However, at this time, the plane was busy harvesting the US port and looking for whether there were other US aircraft carriers near the port.

After all, at this time, except for the six aircraft carriers whose shit was lucky enough to leave the port for training in the early morning, the other US troops were still preparing to have breakfast.

Looking out of the glass window of the plane from a large perspective, Liang Zhikai saw the plane in front of him frantically rushing towards Pearl Harbor, and the lowest plane flying may even be only a few tens of meters high.

"Boom ......"

Even in the air, Liang Zhikai still heard the first huge explosion.

The torpedo was thrown directly into the harbor by the Nakajima attack plane, and the modified torpedo, which was equipped with a wooden propeller, easily got into the waterline of a cruiser docked in the harbor and coincidentally detonated the ammunition depot.

Soon, Liang Zhikai saw an even more explosive bombing scene, saying that the plane was like a locust that frantically devoured the US warships, soldiers, as well as airport runways, radar stations, etc.

Under his field of vision, one after another US ships were hit by torpedoes or aviation armor-piercing bombs, the sound of explosions resounding through the sky, the skyrocketing fire, and the sound of frantic machine gun fire at low altitudes, and the entire Pearl Harbor was full of US officers and soldiers running around, and the Americans returned fire, almost no ...... Seeing this lively scene, seeing that the ships belonging to the US Pacific Fleet were hit, exploded, and caught fire, Liang Zhikai tuned the radio to the communication channel with the task force, and reported: "Seabird No. 1 reported, the praying mantis started its action on time, and the current results are brilliant, there are three US aircraft carriers in the port, a large aircraft carrier, two escort aircraft carriers, and countless other ships, including battleships, and the port is suffering from the crazy bombing of the planes. ”

Just a few minutes ago, Pearl Harbor, the highest command structure of the U.S. Army at Pearl Harbor, the office of Admiral Kimmer.

Admiral Kimmel pushed open the window of his third-floor office facing Pearl Harbor, and from this vantage point he could see most of the ships docked in the harbor.

"What a beautiful morning, these majestic warships are the most solid force for the great United States to gallop across the Pacific." Admiral Kimmer would always return to his office and look out over the harbor after his daily routine tour of the harbor, and every time he saw so many majestic warships docked in the harbor, he could not help but express his admiration.

Although two aircraft carriers are returning from Hawaii Island to Pearl Harbor to transport warplanes, the other four aircraft carriers are forming an aircraft carrier formation to practice take-off and landing in the morning breeze on the sea dozens of miles away. There are no more than 3 aircraft carriers left in the port.

But even without those dozen or so warships, Pearl Harbor's warships were still so large and full of American power. Pearl Harbor would have been stronger if it had not been for the fact that some of the ships and aircraft had been transferred to the Atlantic, because it was the bridgehead of the United States ruling the Pacific Ocean and the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet.

In the distance, the rising sun just climbed to the height of the aircraft carrier island. Looking at the sun, Admiral Kimmer was immersed in the beautiful morning view of a military port.

"Huh? What a beautiful scene, if only there was a camera to capture it. ”

At this moment, Admiral Kimmel saw that in the direction of the sun, an airplane seemed to jump out of the sun, and the surrounding fuselage was reflected in golden yellow, with a golden halo, flying towards the harbor.

Just as he was about to turn around to look for the camera, more planes suddenly appeared in the sun's unscorching light, and there were also a lot of planes on the left and right sides of the sun.

There were more and more planes, and Admiral Kimmer suddenly had some bad premonitions, so he picked up the telescope hung in front of the window and had a sun filter attached to it, and observed the planes in a direction that was not facing the sun.

"God ......"

Admiral Kimmer felt cold all over his body just by looking at it, and at that moment, he almost stopped even thinking.

Through the telescope, he saw a sun flag printed on the wings or belly of the aircraft.

He couldn't even think about it when he saw the huge number of planes with the sun flag printed on them, but he knew that the sun flag should never be at Pearl Harbor.

That only meant one thing: a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

"I said I was going to attack Pearl Harbor ......"

Admiral Kimmel felt a little weak in his legs, and when he saw the overwhelming planes and imagined the possible horrific consequences, he even lost the strength to walk for a while, so he struggled to walk back to the table, and he tried to pick up the phone and call Admiral Melkin, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, or the U.S. Department of the Navy, or even the White House in Washington.

However, just as he was about to pick up the phone, the phone rang.

"General, we were attacked, it was me, they attacked us frantically."

There was a hoarse roar from the microphone, from which staff officer or officer, and of course, the rumbling explosion.

Admiral Kimmel also heard it, and the sound of violent explosions was being heard intensively in the harbor and throughout Oahu.

After a moment of thought, he picked up the phone and dialed, "Report to Washington immediately, we have been subjected to a despicable sneak attack by Yu himself, and we have suffered heavy losses. The war has broken out, and this is not a drill. ”

Ten minutes later, the White House.

The door to the president's office was slammed open without even knocking. When Roosevelt saw Admiral Knox, the Secretary of the Navy slamming in the door, his face was full of panic, and he waved a clear telegram in his hand, "Mr. President, I ...... myself."

Roosevelt's heart tightened, he held back a huge sense of crisis, and preemptively asked, "Is it the Philippines?" ”

"No, it's not the Philippines, Mr. President, it's Pearl Harbor, and I sent hundreds of planes to attack Pearl Harbor......"

When he heard the words Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt only felt a blackness in front of him...... Hundreds of kilometers away in the Pacific Ocean, on the aircraft carrier Da Chu, the command module of the task force.

"General, the No. 01 reconnaissance plane reported that he launched a surprise attack on time, and the US army suffered heavy losses."

With unprecedented excitement, a combat staff officer waved the document in his hand to record intelligence and shouted loudly, and then, before Ge Cunsheng could speak, a neat sound of "Long live ......" had already come from several office cabins.

Because, that means...... Ge Cunsheng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled, and said, "Very good, order, according to the guidance of the Sea Eagle reconnaissance plane, the first wave of aircraft will launch a horizontal bombing of Pearl Harbor as originally planned." Remember, it's important to act precisely, and every second counts. ”

…… The first wave of the Chinese task force was mainly composed of a command plane, an electronic jamming plane, a radar early warning plane, and 60 carrier-based fighters. In order to meet the operational needs, the carrier-based aircraft of the two aircraft carriers, the Da Chu and the Dayan, have been modified or transferred from other aircraft carriers, and their combat surnames can be prominent, and they have been specially upgraded for the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

"Yes, understood." The commander-in-chief of the assault group, the commander of the 3rd Division of Naval Aviation, Senior Colonel Wu Cunxiao, finally waited for the order to attack from the radio headset.

His landplane was an air command aircraft modified from the HH-3 type, and not far behind him was the commando's radar early warning aircraft.

"Falcon 25, Sea Eagle 2, report on the air situation in the vicinity." Wu Cunxiao asked about the air situation of the Haiying-2 and the Tianfalcon-25 air radar early warning plane.

"Everything is normal over Pearl Harbor, the planes have begun to return, and the number of planes remaining over Oahu is rapidly decreasing. After the US troops were raided, they did not organize a counterattack. "Sea Eagle 02, quickly reported the situation over Oahu.

The Falcon radar early warning aircraft also reported: "Within 100 kilometers of airspace, there are only sporadic planes and five US planes that have taken off urgently and tried to pursue them. ”

"Understood." Wu Cunxiao finally couldn't help but smile, and immediately, the next 15 minutes will be the performance time of the Chinese Air Force. At this time, the planes retreated, and the second wave of planes still had 15 to 20 minutes to arrive, and the Americans had not even caught their breath before they were about to meet the more fierce bombardment from China.

Adjusting the radio channel, Wu Cunxiao began to order the integrated channel of the assault group: "All speed up, and in two minutes, the horizontal bombing will begin!" ”
