Just when the Wildcat fleet gradually fell into disadvantage, the second batch of fighters arrived again. Originally, Halsey's voyage was to deliver F4F Wildcat fighters to a US military base.

Therefore, there is a large reserve of Wildcat fighters and ammunition on the aircraft carrier. Halsey was straightforward, and since Pearl Harbor had been attacked, he had the wildcats rise to the skies!

Seeing the reinforcements of the wildcats coming, Zero finally panicked a little. The contrast in the sky at this time was forty zeros versus twenty-three wildcats.

And the Wildcats that came to the aid were the second wave, with as many as forty!

"Red Okanoro!! Shimazaki coincides, why haven't they come back yet?! What are these bastards up to?! Nagumo Zhongyi was a little breathless, he was now sure that his location must have been discovered by the US military.

The immediate task now is to get the fleet out of here. But it is obvious that the US Navy will never let go of the First Air Fleet so easily, so Nagumo Tadaichi needs to have an aircraft to stop the pursuit of US fighters.

Among the 300 planes that came out to attack this time, there were a large number of Type 97 torpedo planes and dive bombers. The Zero was only eighty, forty-three had just taken off, and thirty-six had gone to Pearl Harbor with the second wave of attacks.

Until now, the Japanese had not equipped their planes with communicators, which made their connection with the planes a fundamental problem. The result of this was the loss of contact between the aircraft and the fleet.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! The feral cats who had received support were obviously highly motivated, and they started fighting directly around the Zero. The Zero, which was disrupted and fought, really suffered a lot at first.

Six Zeros were shot down one after another, but then they stabilized the situation and began to engage the wildcats.

At this time, along with the Enterprise, there was also the aircraft carrier USS Lexington and Task Force 12. Task Force 12 served as an escort, while the USS Enterprise and USS Lexington were used to transport aircraft.

The commander-in-chief of the two aircraft carriers is, naturally, the highest-ranking William Jr. Frederick. Vice Admiral Halsey. The vice admiral directly ordered all the nearly 100 fighters on the two aircraft carriers to take off. Go to the sea area of the Japanese warship to attack.

"Buzzing ......" With the roar of the planes, dozens of Type 97 attack planes also rushed into the sky from the six Japanese aircraft carriers. And as soon as they took off, Nagumo Tadaichi ordered the fleet to return and not stay here any longer.

"It is clear that our location has already been discovered by the Americans!" Nagumo Tadaichi explained to the admirals below: "How many aircraft carriers does the U.S. military have?!" I don't know, but what I do know is that if we don't have these six aircraft carriers, the empire will be a fish to be slaughtered in the Pacific! ”

"My mission is to ensure the success of the attack and the evacuation of the fleet! Now that the attack has been successful, my mission is to get our fleet out of here in good condition! ”

Other admirals of the fleet, including Rear Admiral Tabun Yamaguchi, commander of the Second Air Force, Major General Tadaichi Hara, commander of the Fifth Air Force, and Lieutenant General Gunichi Mikawa, commander of the Third Air Force, all agreed.

They all knew in their hearts that these six aircraft carriers and the aircraft carrier escort were already the elite forces of the entire Japanese Navy. Once you have suffered any loss. No one here can afford such a responsibility.

Now that the attack mission has been completed, what is needed now is to get out of this area of the sea so that the US Navy cannot catch up. As for those Zero and Type 97 fighters, let's dedicate themselves to the Empire and the Navy!

......At this time, the third wave of fifty Wildcat support air forces had also arrived, and began to encircle and kill those Type 97 carrier-based planes that took off.

The fighting and fighting in the air continued. Nagumo Tadaichi led the fleet towards the deep sea. The retreat route had been planned for a long time, and they would return to Hachimanhama to make repairs.

When the Japanese fighters in the sky saw the fleet returning, no one chose to retreat, but they fought with the wild cats even more frantically. The purpose is to ensure that these fleets can smoothly escape from the tracking of the US military.

Under the fierce battle, both the Wildcat and the Japanese fighters suffered heavy losses. There are more than 70 of the more than 100 Wildcats that have already arrived in this area.

The Japanese army's Zero Type is scattered about a dozen, and the Ninety-Seven Type is relatively more. However, the Ninety-Seven Type has a certain distance from the performance of the wild cat, and has been shot down by the wild cat a lot.

Up to now, there are only more than 30 Type 97 planes still flying in the sky.

"Buzzing ......" This is the fourth wave of U.S. military support troops, and the Japanese army is desperate to see dozens of warplanes overwhelmingly killed. Despite their efforts to prevent the U.S. forces from pursuing their fleet. But now it seems that these efforts may be in vain.

When the fourth wave of American fighters arrived on the battlefield, the Japanese fighters who had completed the second air attack from Pearl Harbor finally rushed back.

The second wave of Japanese planes under the command of Shimazaki Co., Ltd., numbered 171 aircraft, and they immediately judged the situation as soon as they arrived in the sea. This is clearly the discovery of their own fleet by the US military.

So Shimazaki did not hesitate to make an attack gesture to the wingman, and at the same time took the lead in rushing towards those American Wildcat fighters.

Wildcats, which were originally numerous. This advantage was knocked out by 171 Japanese fighters at once. In particular, the Japanese fighters also included thirty-six Zero carrier-based aircraft.

Although they now don't have much gasoline and ammunition, their sheer volume and flexible design are their strengths. For a time, the two sides were evenly matched in the air.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Nagumo Tadaichi commanded the fleet step by step out of the sight of the American army and sailed towards the deep sea. Although the wildcats wanted to track this fleet, they were faced with the entanglement of the Zero and 97 carrier-based aircraft, and they had no choice but to deal with these Japanese fighters first.

Along the way, there was a constant support from wild cats. There are also constant return of wildcats to add gasoline and ammunition to return to the battlefield again. The Japanese wanted to track the past, but they were worried that they would not have enough gasoline.

Finally. In the midst of the struggle, the Japanese fleet slowly left the sea and disappeared from the sight of the wildcats.

"These damned, cunning, bitch yellow-skinned rats! They all deserve to go to hell!! Halsey roared angrily aboard the Enterprise. The flight of the Japanese army made him extremely angry.

But he also knew that there was nothing he could do, and now there were more than a hundred warplanes fighting with his wild cats. So far, the Wildcats have lost more than seventy warplanes.

With a blushing face, Halsey ordered the fleet to speed to the predetermined sea, and at the same time pushed one fighter after another out of the hangar.

At 13:40 p.m., the Japanese finally fell from the sky and exploded at sea after running out of fuel and ammunition. The wildcats were full of bitterness.

In one battle, the Wildcats lost more than eighty fighters. Although the losses of the Japanese were greater, they were defeated without support and without fuel. This kind of victory came so bitterly.

"We have repelled the Japanese fleet and are expected to shoot down more than a hundred and fifty Japanese fighters. Our losses totaled eighty F4F fighters......"

At 14:10, a telegram arrived in the president's office in Washington. Roosevelt pinched the telegram with relief and sighed, after all, he had saved some face for the US side.

"Inform Congress that I request an emergency meeting immediately!" Roosevelt took the battle report, stood up and said in a deep voice: "I want to apply for congressional authorization!" Immediately go to war against Japan!! ”

On January 2, 1939, the U.S. Congress convened an emergency session. All the people present had solemn faces, they all knew that Pearl Harbor had been attacked by the Japanese, and that these hateful mongrels had not yet submitted their declaration of war to the United States forty minutes after the attack!

Humiliate! It's a naked humiliation! Don't Americans have an IQ?! As Secretary of State Hull put it, this is "the most despicable government and the most hypocritical and distorted document!" ”

The whole Congress, or the whole of America, is now in a state of pent-up anger. The photos that Mrs. Song showed them before had already aroused their anger. And what the Japanese are doing now has undoubtedly turned this anger into hatred!

"Japan has not officially declared war this time, and the despicable attack will forever bear the charge of dishonor...... The American people will surely win the final victory, and we must not only defend ourselves with all our might, but also ensure that this despicable act can no longer endanger us......"

Roosevelt puffed out his chest and stood on the podium and shouted to the congressmen: "God willing, God willing, we will win the final victory!" I hereby only ask the Diet to declare 'entry into the war'!! ”

"Go to war! War!! With Roosevelt's words, the whole Congress was filled with a roar of hatred. The United States has never suffered such a big loss!

After the angry roar ended, the parliament began to vote officially. After a silent count, the Diet voted against one against the rest and unanimously approved the declaration of war against Japan.

Roosevelt signed a declaration of war on Japan on the spot, while claiming that "January 2" was a day of national shame.

"We need to remember that today, those vile, brutal beasts have attacked us in dishonorable ways on this day! We need to remember and beware of the beasts who never wanted to be honored! ”

Subsequently, the American media launched a series of reports on Pearl Harbor. Including the Japanese Navy's choice to carry out a sneak attack on the second day of the New Year, including the painstaking sneak of 3,000 nautical miles. This also includes the fact that the Japanese submitted a declaration of war to the United States forty minutes after the start of the sneak attack.

The United States, which originally had different opinions, is now completely highly unified. Everyone didn't say anything, but they were thinking about one thing: the Japanese could be so brutal in China, if they occupied the United States, wouldn't they do those beastly deeds?!

Based on this mentality, everyone supported Roosevelt's war against Japan.
