The 70 F-35C lightning fighters dispatched by the Chinese Empire to the fourth wave of air raids on Pearl Harbor quickly launched all the airborne guided anti-ship missiles they carried at many warships in Pearl Harbor, and even some of the main warships that had already sunk were also hit by several missiles because most of the hulls were still above the water.

The U.S. Navy's Nevada-class super dreadnought battleship Oklahoma was originally hit by a total of 8 airborne guided ship-to-ship missiles in the first two rounds of air raids, and finally sank slowly because of serious water leakage in the hull, but because of the berth where the Oklahoma super dreadnought battleship docked, the water depth was only about 11 meters, so most of the hull of the Oklahoma was still exposed on the water.

So in the fourth wave of air raids, the huge Oklahoma super dreadnought battleship was favored by the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and 4 airborne guided ship-to-ship missiles drilled into the hull of the Oklahoma, among which 1 airborne guided ship-based missile directly detonated an ammunition compartment, and then the Oklahoma super dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of 28,400 tons was directly blown up and almost broken in two, and turned diagonally in the sea.

When the fourth wave of 70 F-35C lightning fighters that took off from the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the First Task Force Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Chinese Empire departed from Pearl Harbor, it was only half past eight in the morning, that is, in just one and a half hours, the Chinese Empire had already launched four rounds of deadly air raids on the warships of the navies of the Pacific United Fleet of the International Alliance in Pearl Harbor, as well as various military facilities at Pearl Harbor, and the entire Pearl Harbor could be said to have suffered extremely heavy losses.

Then, about an hour later, the warplanes of the Chinese Empire did not appear in the sky over Pearl Harbor, and the officers and men of the naval forces of the Pearl Harbor countries also breathed a sigh of relief, and the air raid should have finally ended.

However, the officers and men of the navies of various countries had just relaxed, and after completing the loading of their bombs, 70 F-35C lightning fighters that had taken off from the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the First Task Force Formation came to the skies over Pearl Harbor again and launched the fifth round of air raids on the warships of the navies of the Pacific Combined Fleet of the International Coalition in Pearl Harbor.

After the end of the fifth round of air raids, it was not until after 12 noon on 20 August that there were no warplanes of the sixth wave of the Chinese Empire's air raids over Pearl Harbor, and at this time, the naval officers and men of the Pacific Combined Fleet of the League of Nations finally affirmed that the Chinese Empire's air raid on Pearl Harbor should be completely over.

The surviving officers and men of the Pacific Combined Fleet of the League of Nations could not help but feel sad when they looked at Pearl Harbor, which was like hell, and the officers and men of the US Navy were even more eager to cry without tears; the US Navy, which was once known as the fourth in the world, suffered heavy losses in this battle, even worse than the British Navy and the German Navy, which had just suffered heavy losses.

The only thing that comforted the US Navy officers and sailors was that the water depth in Pearl Harbor was very shallow, and many of the warships that were sunk could be salvaged and repaired.

In the office of the President of the United States in Washington, the Secretary of the Navy George ? Dewey's dejected devastation to President William? Howard? Taft, Vice President Thomas? Woodrow? Wilson and Secretary of the War John? Joseph? Pershing said, "Pearl Harbor is finished!" Our US Navy is finished! The United Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations is also finished! ”

President William? Howard? Taft's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot at this time, facing George? Dewey asked in a deep voice, "Have you counted the losses at Pearl Harbor?" ”

George? Dewey nodded, picked up a few telegrams, and read bitterly: "10 Lexington-class aircraft carriers, 22 Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers, 7 Pennsylvania-class super dreadnought battleships, 7 Nevada-class super dreadnought battleships, 12 Saratoga-class battlecruisers, 1 New York-class super dreadnought, 1 South Carolina-class dreadnought, 2 Florida-class dreadnought, and 1 Wyoming-class dreadnought-class battleship were all sunk, and the remaining capital battleships were all seriously damaged. ”

Paused for a moment George? Dewey continued: "Sixteen large fast armored cruisers, 42 fast protection cruisers, 60 destroyers, 19 torpedo boats, and four submarines were also sunk, and all the shipyards and military airfields at Pearl Harbor were blown up, and the oil depots with nearly 8 million tons of heavy oil were also set on fire, and the fire could not be extinguished at all, and after nearly 8 million tons of heavy oil were burned, our Pearl Harbor military base in the United States of America would cease to exist." ”

Vice President Thomas? Woodrow? Wilson then shouted to George? Dewey asked, "Isn't the water depth in Pearl Harbor very shallow?" Is there any possibility of repairing those sunken warships? Especially those sunken capital warships, which we in the United States piled up with real money, as long as there is a possibility of repair, no matter how much it costs, it must be repaired. ”

George? Dewey smiled bitterly and said: "The water depth of Pearl Harbor is indeed very shallow, many of the sunken warships of our US Navy, especially the main battleships, at least dozens of them can be salvaged and repaired, but the shipyard of Pearl Harbor has been bombed into ruins, if you want to repair these battleships, you can only salvage these sunken battleships and transport them back to the shipyard on the West Coast for repair, you must know that the sunken capital warships are all big guys with huge displacement, and it will be very, very difficult to transport them back to the West Coast from Pearl Harbor, It will take a long time, and during the transportation, it may also be attacked by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire. ”

Vice President Thomas? Woodrow? Wilson asked, "Can't we build a new shipyard at Pearl Harbor?" With our industrial strength and civil engineering capabilities in the United States, I believe that it will not take much time to build a large shipyard at Pearl Harbor. ”

George? Dewey sighed and said: "This method may be able to repair the warships in Pearl Harbor faster, but I am afraid that the Chinese Empire will not give us the United States of America even these times, and Pearl Harbor has nearly 8 million tons of heavy oil burned, and Pearl Harbor is no longer suitable for building a large shipyard!" ”

At this time, President William? Howard? Taft said: "Order the warships of the United Pacific Fleet of the International Coalition that can still sail in Pearl Harbor to immediately withdraw to the San Diego Naval Base on the west coast of our United States of America, Pearl Harbor is no longer able to support any combat operations of the United Pacific Combined Fleet of the International Alliance, and the United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance must withdraw to the mainland of our United States of America for defense, you must know that almost all the main forces of our US Navy are concentrated in Pearl Harbor, and now Pearl Harbor has suffered heavy losses. There is no longer the strength to contain the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire will directly pose a threat to our American mainland. ”

George? Dewey then asked, "President, what about those sunken warships at Pearl Harbor?" ”

President William? Howard? Taft was silent for a moment and said: "Our army strength in Hawaii is still relatively strong, and the main force of the Chinese Empire's army is still pinned down in the Ural Mountains, so the Chinese Empire should not launch a landing on Hawaii in the short term!" Then we will have time to salvage the sunken warships at Pearl Harbor and bring them back to the shipyards on the West Coast for repairs, and we must do everything we can to bring all the warships that can be repaired back to the shipyards on the West Coast as soon as possible, and we in the United States of America need them! ”

George? Dewey hesitated for a moment and asked, "The warships of Japan, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil also suffered heavy losses in Pearl Harbor, what about the warships sunk by their four countries?" ”

President William? Howard? Taft thought for a moment and said: "Tell the Japanese, Chileans, Argentines and Brazilians that our American shipyards will give priority to repairing the main warships of their four countries, and as for other types of warships, we in the United States do not have so many docks." ”

And then President William? Howard? Taft vs. Secretary of the War John? Joseph? Pershing said: "The size of the army has now reached 2.4 million, but these are far from enough, and we in the United States of America need more army units to resist the evil country of the Chinese Empire." ”

Before the outbreak of the war, the U.S. Army was only 1.5 million, since the declaration of war on the Chinese Empire, the United States is doing its best to expand the size of the Army, and now that the war has only been two months old, the size of the U.S. Army has increased by 900,000, and this number is increasing every day.

John? Joseph? Pershing nodded and said: "President rest assured, by the end of this month, the size of our US Army will increase by another 200,000, and by the end of September, it will increase by at least 400,000. ”

In the bridge of the Qin Xianggong, the flagship of the Fifth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Huang Hong, commander of the Fifth Fleet, asked Jiang Hui, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater: "Brother Jiang, do you need to let the 70 carrier-based aircraft of the First Task Force Formation make another sortie to launch the sixth round of air raids?" ”

Jiang Hui waved his hand and said: "No need, according to the reconnaissance photos taken by the fighters, the navies of the Pacific Combined Fleet of the International Alliance in Pearl Harbor have been severely damaged, and the military facilities and oil depots in Pearl Harbor have also been destroyed. Your Majesty has explained that we should use these airborne guided ship-to-ship missiles as sparingly as possible, and the secret factory that can manufacture such airborne guided ship-to-ship missiles will not be able to resume production in a short period of time because of an accident. ”

Huang Hong asked again: "Then Brother Jiang, why don't you let the carrier-based aircraft of the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet make a sortie, so that the losses of the Pacific Combined Fleet of the International Alliance in Pearl Harbor will be greater." ”

Jiang Hui still shook his head and said: "Pearl Harbor's anti-aircraft firepower is much stronger than we imagined, since we have basically achieved the operational objective of our air attack on Pearl Harbor, don't expand the loss of our carrier-based aircraft!" The carrier-based aircraft of the Fifth and Sixth Fleets will occupy a very important position in the next blockade of Pearl Harbor. ”

The senior leaders of the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy knew that the water depth in Pearl Harbor was very shallow, and even the sunken warships could be easily salvaged, and the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy did not want the Combined Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance, which had been severely damaged, to recover in a short time, so after launching an air attack on Pearl Harbor, the Fifth Fleet, the Sixth Fleet, and the First Task Force of the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy also had the task of blockading Pearl Harbor to trap the entire United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance in Pearl Harbor.

At present, the large shipyards in Pearl Harbor that can repair warships have been bombed into a pile of ruins, so that those salvaged warships in Pearl Harbor can only be sent back to the shipyards on the west coast of the United States for repairs; once the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire can successfully blockade Pearl Harbor, then not only will these warships not be able to be repaired and quickly restore their combat effectiveness, but the coastline of the United States and even the entire Americas will be open to the Chinese Empire.

In the bridge of the aircraft carrier Fengxiang, the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, the captain of the Fengxiang, Yuzaburo Kato, reported to the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, with a heavy face: "Your Excellency Commander, the losses have been counted, and the main battleships that are seriously damaged and cannot be repaired, including the aircraft carrier Soryu, the battlecruiser Hiei, the battlecruiser Aopheasant, the super dreadnought battleship Haguro, the Dreadnought battleship Amagi and the Dreadnought battleship Xiangyi, after the other capital battleships are repaired, can continue to serve. ”

Heihachiro Togo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So our combined fleet, the final loss of the main battleship is only 6, and the situation is not too bad. ”

Kato Yuzaburo said with a wry smile: "Thanks to the shallow water depth of Pearl Harbor, otherwise maybe there are not many of the 21 main warships of our entire combined fleet left at this time." ”

Heihachiro Togo nodded and sighed and said, "This is also a blessing in misfortune!" By the way, did the Americans have any answer to these warships that were injured in our combined fleet? ”

Yuzaburo Kato nodded and said: "The Americans agree that the main warships of our combined fleet can be given priority to be repaired together with the main warships of the US Navy, and other non-main warships are temporarily powerless." ”

Heihachiro Togo nodded and said, "I can only repair the main battleship of our combined fleet as soon as possible, and I am very grateful to the Americans!" (To be continued.) )
