Chapter 898: Burning the City

The huge fire was none other than the explosion of an oil depot on a hill a few kilometers from Pearl Harbor. And the two planes that blew up the oil depot were the two planes that had left the formation earlier, one was a bomber and the other was a flamingo, that is, the Zero.

It was Du Yueshan and Feng Canghao who piloted the plane. They were the Huya reserve members who attacked Haierbin that year, followed the escaped Japanese army, and successfully infiltrated the Japanese army. Both of them are quite proficient in Japanese, and both have a good grasp of Japanese life and customs, so they can't tell the difference at all.

However, they did not infiltrate the army, but as needed, they infiltrated the navy, one as a bomber pilot and the other as an attack aircraft pilot.

They received an order from Dong Ku to blow up the oil depot on Honolulu. There are 4.5 million tons of oil there.

According to Dong Ku's understanding, later commentators on the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor once said that even if the Japanese army bombed the oil depot, it would not have much impact on the Pacific Fleet. The United States has a lot of oil reserves, and there are countless tankers, which can be transported over and let the remaining warships move.

But Dong Ku knew very well that this result was all speculation, and no one had experienced it in detail, or knew the consequences of the burning of 4.5 million tons of oil. But he knew that he had blown up the oil depot in Tomsk, where the fire was secondary, and where the oil flowed through the burning power was the key, and those cement buildings, steel, lost their original quality in the flames, so to speak, after a few days of burning by the fire, everything, including the rocks, would be crispy.

In other words, Pearl Harbor will be completely burned to the ground. The most important thing is to master the time, he wants to make sure that the US military has no chance to turn over.

Du Yueshan drove the bomber and did not bomb from one bomber to another, but went around in a circle, under the protection of Feng Canghao, waiting for the battle of Pearl Harbor to start.

When a thick column of smoke rose in the distance, he pressed the nose of the machine. Whirled and pounced on the target in the figure's run, the most striking oil can.

That oil tank should have at least 100,000 tons, and it was a half-mountain oil storage tank, most of which was in the mountain, and a small part was exposed. Categorically will not blow up there.

Feng Canghao just followed Du Yueshan, and he started shooting from a distance, and the bullet chain whipped the panicked crowd, whistling and pounced downward.

Du Yueshan stared at the location of the target, and after the target entered the bomb throwing reference point, he pulled the wrench hard, dropped a 300-kilogram bomb, and then pulled the nose of the plane and flipped it with a roar. In the violent explosion, he turned to the piled up oil drums, and then dropped another bomb, and then pounced on the finished product warehouse halfway up the mountain, and at the moment when Feng Canghao's two 60-kilogram bombs were dropped, the last 500-kilogram bomb on the plane was dropped on the target.

There was a loud bang, and in the flames rolling below, the refined oil in the middle of the mountain exploded. Du Yueshan and Feng Canghao pulled the lever tightly, and the throttle was increased to the maximum. Whistling into the clouds in the shock wave.

The bitter explosion of refined oil completely ignited the entire oil base. The first big oil tank that exploded when the oil was pouring wildly and flowing down the mountain with the rolling magma, because of the combustion of volatile gases, caused the huge oil tank to suddenly stop the outflow of heavy oil, followed by a loud bang. A huge flame rose into the sky, rising three or four hundred meters high.

The violent explosion that shook the earth shook the mountain on the oil tank, and also lifted the oil drums stacked on the battlements above, igniting all the oil drums and throwing them out in all directions in a huge shock wave.

At this time. The U.S. troops at the Honolulu oil base are stupid. They stared blankly at the lava flow rolling down, at the roaring oil barrels, and didn't even have the heart to flee for their lives, just waiting for the arrival of the flames.

Boom!

There were a few loud bangs, and the mountains of magma rolled down the hillside, and the oil tanks were shattered by the violent explosion, and then ignited by the flames sprayed everywhere, spewing out tongues of fire several meters high, releasing the evaporated oil and gas in the oil tanks, which were much more violent than the flames spewed out from the abandoned combustion port of the oil field.

With the combustion, the oil and gas could not be released, and it was accompanied by another violent explosion, which blew all the weak places that were blocked, spewed out the oil in the stomach, and merged into the rolling magma flow, rushing down the mountain.

No one noticed the violent explosion here, and Pearl Harbor was in dire straits. Where do they still have time to look into the distance? The planes in the vicinity are the focus of their attention.

After the plane bump stopped, Du Yueshan looked back at the fiery red of the mountain, smiled with satisfaction, gave a thumbs up to Feng Canghao, and then pressed the shutter of the shooting.

Their departure, leaving behind thousands of tons of boiling and burning magma flow, the flames have swallowed the entire oil base at this time, a few kilometers in diameter of the position, in just a few minutes were all ignited, in Pearl Harbor there tragic battle, the second wave of planes is about to arrive, the magma flow into Pearl Harbor, just ten minutes, the entire port will be blocked, several meters high flames are burning fiercely, with the continuous injection of oil, continue to rapidly expand the territory, with a terrifying speed to the port burned.

At the top of the mountain, violent explosions continued, and huge oil tanks were roasted and fried in high temperatures, and in the loud noise, the oil in the stomach was spewed out and flowed down the mountain.

The rolling lava flows are not satisfied with just entering the sea, they go to one place, engulf another, like gluttonous demons, devouring everything that flows in their path.

Aiya bore the brunt of the tragedy, being swept into the city by magma several meters high, flowing down the streets. Everywhere they passed, a fire quickly burst into flames, and not a single building left joined the burning ranks.

Those who were watching the fierce battle in the port in horror were only discovered by the sudden lava flow approaching the city, and they ran in fear, but how could they run through the flood of magma? In the screams, they were engulfed in flames and fell silent.

Honolulu and Waikiki were flooded with magma one after another, and the soldiers on leave who were rushing to the base to prepare for battle could withstand such a torrent? All of them became accelerants as the magma rolled, burning in the boiling oil.

At the top of the mountain, oil drums flying up several hundred meters flew out of the mountain, igniting all the vegetation on the mountain. The fire is not wet at this moment, and it is interpreted. The sugarcane plantations were blazing in the oil drums, and the trees, with the wind, floated several meters of flames, rushing out of all directions, igniting a large area of vegetation.

The entire southern tip of Oahu turned into a sea of fire in less than half an hour.

"Oh God!!"

"Is this hell......"

The U.S. troops, who were preparing to meet the second wave of air raids in the ruins, saw a fierce sea of fire in the pile of corpses and quickly rushed into the harbor from outside the harbor, and the flames rose dozens of meters high, faster than their ships could run.

They were dumbfounded, they couldn't see the scene to the east, their eyes were full of flames, and they couldn't even see the mountain peaks.

At this moment, there are still people there who are worried about defense, and there are still people in there who are willing to stay on the ship with thick smoke billowing out?

No matter how stupid they are, they know that in this sea of fire, let alone warships, even if the submarine does not dive, it will be burned to cans, and they can't keep these ships at all.

Running for his life, he erupted after being stunned for a few seconds. The soldiers put down their lifeboats, no longer cared about the warships, and fled desperately to the port.

The officers no longer restrained their troops and joined the ranks of the fugitives. At this moment, not to mention that they shouted, even if they took out their guns, they would be in vain, and the rapid flames would ignite the battleship in a few minutes. If they don't leave, they will become roast suckling pigs.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated the speed of the flames, and as the oil frantically poured into the sea, the flames quickly pounced on the battleships and engulfed them.

The fast-moving ones had just fled to the harbor, and before they could find the intact car to carry them, they were horrified to see the lava rolling on the shore.

In just ten minutes, Pearl City was poured into every street by rolling lava, and in the frenzied flight of the people, it ignited the buildings of the city, ignited everything, and continued to flow down the ditch, down the highway to Waipahu.

Just as the flames were churning, the second echelon of the Japanese army pounced.

There were no warships they saw, only a sea of fire everywhere, and those battleships were already burning in flames, and they couldn't see the shape at all.

The commander who led the team flew around the flames, but could not find a place to start, and he was pleasantly surprised to judge that Pearl Harbor was over, and all the battleships would not be able to escape, and they would all be burned in the flames or turned into scrap metal.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, loud bangs rang out one after another in the sea of fire, and clusters of flames rose into the sky, forcing them to pull up and leave here.

"Drop bombs on those cities!"

The commander excitedly ordered.

Following his order, all the planes with bombs flew to the towns and villages, dropping them without hesitation, regardless of whether they were military targets or not. They, having already completed their mission, have no way to land safely with bombs.

As for the planes that took off from the small airport, they were no match for the flamingos at all, they were lucky to survive, and they would only have to make a forced landing after the airport was bombed.

With a loud bang, the second wave of planes comfortably dropped their bombs, and then flew to the north end and flew back to the aircraft carrier.

More than an hour later, Nagumo was pleasantly surprised to learn that Pearl Harbor was surrounded by flames after the plane landed, but he didn't understand why.

In any case, his task was accomplished, and although there were no aircraft carriers, there were at least seven or eight battleships there, cruisers, destroyers, water supply ships, more than fifty large and small, of which there were more than thirty destroyers.

Crucially, according to the description, the docks and repair yards, including the well-sheltered dry docks, were surrounded by a sea of fire, and there was no chance that they would survive.

In fact, in the more than an hour of their return voyage, not only the flames everywhere on the mountain, but even the Waipahu dozens of kilometers away from the oil base were ignited, and the fire spread rapidly, and the oil that flowed along the highway could not be extinguished at all, and there was no way to extinguish it, and the entire area around Pearl Harbor, even in the harbor, was ignited by these millions of tons of oil, and it is estimated that after the flames are extinguished, there will be nothing left here.
