Chapter 160: Air Strike! Burning Pearl Harbor! (viii)

Cai Yong is well aware of the performance of the "Thunder Eagle" attack aircraft, and using this kind of aircraft to carry out horizontal bombing of enemy ships in fast sailing is tantamount to wasted effort! Even if a formation torpedo attack, when the target ship performs a violent evasive maneuver, one of the torpedoes dropped by the entire squadron can hit, which is considered to be Amitabha Buddha thankfully.

The only way to stop the enemy fleet from escaping, then, is to sink one or two enemy ships near the access channel and trap the entire fleet in the harbor! As soon as the main forces of our army arrive tomorrow, hehe......

Who is that unlucky ghost, take a closer look......

The big guy that is passing through the passage is the "Florida"-class dreadnought! There's nothing to think about, that's it!

Okay, change the plan slightly, and the 3 squadrons of the first wing will be personally commanded by me, calculate the timing, and wait until the big man of the Fro's family leans out of the outer mouth of the channel, and his hand is up and down-click!

As for the two big guys who have already run out of the port, each ship is divided into two squadrons, and one hit is counted as one, and it is better to paralyze it and be lame - I told you to run, run, see how far you can run!

"Come on, brethren, do it again! Make the Yankees cry enough! ”

Cai Yong picked up the signal light and looked sideways to see that the squadrons of the third attack wave had approached his command plane in turn in the order of attack, ready to receive orders......

At 12:00, in the thickest armored command tower on the flagship of the U.S. main fleet, the USS Pennsylvania, Admiral Evanley faced the three commanders of his battleship detachments and a staff officer, trying his best to maintain the mask called "calm and calm" that cracked from time to time.

"Again, I repeat, there must be an immediate dispersal and withdrawal to the West Coast! The enemy's main force must be not far away, and as soon as we are blocked back into the harbor, the tragedy of Vladivostok will repeat itself here! ”

Vice Admiral Schroeder, commander of the 3rd Battleship Detachment, spoke excitedly - he had every reason to be agitated and angry.

I have long reminded you, airplanes! Plane! You deaf people! If the ship had been sent over with anti-aircraft weapons a week or two earlier, no, if we had followed my suggestion earlier, set up air defense observation posts throughout the island, and strictly enforced and perfected the system of aviation patrols and fighter planes on standby, we would not have been so miserable today!

However, venting in hindsight did not solve any problems, and Schroeder's only thought now was to save the remaining strength of the fleet.

"It's over here, it's hopeless, but the United States still needs a fleet to defend it. Having lost the fleet, the enemy will have no qualms about ravaging the west coast, burning our cities and farms, slaughtering our male and female citizens and innocent children! There can be no more hesitation, this is not an escape, and even more so a sign of cowardice, this is for the sake of the United States! For the freedom of the American people! ”

Vice Admiral Emley, commander of the 2nd Battleship Detachment, who was sitting next to the bulkhead with bandages and mounts on his feet, bowed his head in shame: "Sidon, you are right...... We should have listened to you a long time ago. ”

"I also agree, if we don't retreat as soon as possible, there is only a dead end, we are finished, the United States will suffer a humiliation unseen in a century, and we must not allow yellow monkeys to rush into our yard!" The position was also expressed by the commander of the 4th battleship detachment, Vice Admiral Sperry.

"It looks like we don't have a choice."

The mask collapsed, and Evan Li looked lonely-the reputation and prestige that he had worked hard to accumulate all his life had disappeared with the billowing smoke over Pearl Harbor......

400 nautical miles southwest of Oahu, the flagship of the East Asian Combined Fleet, the Pinghai, surrounded by 89 ships around it, is heading for Pearl Harbor at full speed!

"The results of the first two waves of attacks have been confirmed!"

A staff officer excitedly rushed into the commander's room, and the staff officers who were anxiously waiting in the room suddenly made a commotion, but Commander Sa himself was not shocked, but just nodded slightly: "Report it." ”

"Yes, it is confirmed to sink one enemy Pennsylvania-class, Nevada-class, New York-class, Wyoming-class, Florida-class, Delaware-class, and South Carolina-class battleship, sink two old Connecticut-class and Virginia-class warships, and damage one Pennsylvania-class, Nevada-class, and Delaware-class battleship,β€”β€” sinking a total of 11 enemy warships and damaging 3 ships! Two other Petersburg-class cruisers were damaged, one munitions ship was sunk, and several destroyers and workboats were damaged or sunk! And completely destroy the enemy base aviation! ”

The staff officers listened with bated breath and immediately jumped up and cheered.

"Hooray!"

"Well done!"

"Great, we've won!"

While the military hats were flying around, the intelligence staff officer had already drawn a cross with a brush on a large board opposite the commander with the silhouette of the enemy ship: "One Pennsylvania-class, one Nevada-class, one New York-class......"

"Commander, the enemy's capital ships have lost more than half, and they are no match for my main forces at all!"

"It will not be a problem to completely annihilate the enemy fleet!"

"If you eat up the American fleet, it will not be a problem to land on the US mainland!"

The hot-blooded young staff officers were happily talking, but when they saw Sa Zhenbing's eyebrows tightened, they couldn't help but gradually quieted down.

"It hurts so much...... Sa Zhenbing propped up the table on his elbows, his hands clenched into fists under his eyes.

"Commander...... "The staff officers were a little puzzled.

Sa Zhenbing shook his head: "I didn't expect the effect of the mobile force's surprise attack to be so goodβ€”it's too good." ”

"This ...... Isn't it good? ”

"The enemy will not stay there to fight us in a decisive battle if he is beaten too hard by the mobile forces, and it is natural to think from the other side's standpoint."

"That ......"

"We can only expect the performance of the third attack wave and the submarine force."

Sa Zhenbing sighed with regret, but he was lucky.

Inside and outside Pearl Harbor, the hunt continues.

Chinese torpedo planes swooped down on the sea-gray U.S. ships in groups of black pressure, interspersed with machine gun fire, dropping papaya-sized bombs and torpedoes almost half a meter thick, while angry U.S. officers and men retaliated with machine guns, rifles, pistols and even potatoes - a cook on the "Delaware" insisted that he had climbed to the top of the mast and smashed down an enemy plane with potatoes *@*

The U.S. destroyers outside the harbor threw bombs into the sea in a frenzy, so that they could not blow up the entire seabed, and soon the sea surface was flooded with large white dead fish, and from time to time some oil stains and wood chips floated - but the hunting here was not a one-sided massacre, and in just two or three hours, three destroyers had already been turned into scrap metal or burning torches on the bottom of the sea.

Cai Yong didn't have time to pay attention to this, his eyes were only fixed on the Florida-class battleship.

Hurry up, hurry up, come out, stick your dead pig's head out, and happily eat the pig food specially prepared for you - now! It's started!

The eye-catching red signal flare was raised, and 24 "Owl Eagles" followed Cai Yong's command plane and pounced on the fat prey in a dense turn......
