Chapter 231: Sneak Attack on the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Fleet
Pearl Harbor in the early hours of the morning, business as usual.
In the Japanese fleet, two hundred nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor, a Japanese carrier-based aircraft loaded with fuel and ammunition took off from six aircraft carriers.
Ten minutes later, nearly 200 Japanese carrier-based planes assembled over the fleet, and the first wave of attacking carrier-based planes flew toward Pearl Harbor in the United States with a wave of the hands of the individuals in the fleet.
At the same time, dozens of fighters from the Red Alert Navy's No. 1 Aircraft Carrier Battle Group also took off, and 40 carrier-based bombers also set off.
Led by AWACS aircraft in the sky, it headed towards the sea northeast of Pearl Harbor.
The formation flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters and flew no more than 50 nautical miles, and the AWACS planes were the first to spot the formation of Japanese carrier-based aircraft passing by in front.
The huge Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation passed in front of the Red Alert carrier-based aircraft formation, and the Japanese carrier-based aircraft did not find the distant Red Alert carrier-based aircraft.
Fortunately for these Japanese carrier-based aircraft, they were not the target of the Red Guard Corps.
The two sides staggered through the sky, the Japanese flying in the direction of Pearl Harbor, and the Red Guard Corps flying towards the American aircraft carrier, which was hundreds of kilometers away from Pearl Harbor.
An hour later, Japanese carrier-based aircraft launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, and this information was immediately learned by the 1st Carrier Battle Group.
At the same time, the unsuspecting U.S. aircraft carrier fleet was still training hundreds of nautical miles from Pearl Harbor.
Under the water of this sea area, the submarine formation belonging to the 1st aircraft carrier battle group has quietly arrived.
The concealment of the Anonymous-class submarines made it completely undetected by the Americans.
What's more, on the side of these four aircraft carriers, only two destroyers also exist.
The underwater submarines have already locked on these four aircraft carriers, and in the distant sky, AWACS aircraft are approaching at high altitude.
The U.S. aircraft carrier, which was about to start a new day of training, suddenly all the electronic instruments failed.
On a US aircraft carrier, such a situation had never been encountered, and all the communication equipment had lost contact in one breath, and the officers and men on the four US aircraft carriers only thought that the equipment was malfunctioning.
Because the communication equipment lost contact, there was no other means to inquire about the situation of the other three aircraft carriers, but only to let the maintenance personnel carry out maintenance.
Therefore, the four US aircraft carriers did not know that all the communication equipment on the warships had been seriously interfered with.
The most fatal thing is that they did not find the small communication buoys floating on the surface of the sea in the distance.
Moreover, these buoys disappeared from the sea at the same time, and because it was early in the morning, the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier had not yet begun training, and the first reconnaissance planes that took off returned directly to Pearl Harbor.
The combination of these factors has led to the fact that the US aircraft carriers are in the skies and have no defensive forces at all.
The lurking Anonymous submarine launched the most violent attack at the same time, and a dense stream of torpedoes rushed towards the four carriers, as well as the four destroyers on the side.
The American sailors on the aircraft carrier fleet, many of whom were still enjoying the cool morning air, did not find a torpedo approaching from under the water at all.
It wasn't until an American soldier on a destroyer was brushing his teeth on the side of the ship that he saw an underwater torpedo approaching not far away, and immediately exclaimed, but it was too late.
The destroyers on the periphery of the periphery were the first to be quickly blown into pieces under the attack of torpedoes, and the explosion completely broke the calm on the sea.
The American soldiers on the aircraft carrier all reacted, but with the appearance of torpedoes one after another, the American sailors on the four aircraft carriers were all in chaos.
The aircraft carrier, which maintained a speed of 15 knots, had no time to turn around and evade, chased the torpedoes of the four aircraft carriers, and quickly hit these four aircraft carriers.
The Enterprise was the first to be hit by a torpedo, which blew a huge hole in the port side of the aircraft carrier, and a large amount of seawater poured in, and the flames of the explosion rushed to the deck.
And this was just the beginning, several torpedoes hit the aircraft carrier one after another, explosions exploded in various places of the aircraft carrier, the huge aircraft carrier quickly tilted in the explosion, and many carrier-based aircraft on the deck slipped into the sea.
The other three aircraft carriers were no better, each of them was hit by at least three torpedoes, and the aircraft carriers basically lost their combat effectiveness.
However, the watertight compartment of the aircraft carrier allows these aircraft carriers to still float on the sea, and even three aircraft carriers can still move forward.
Most of the American sailors on the aircraft carrier were also extinguished by the burning flames.
The ensuing attack did not unfold, only to see in the sky, fighter jets appeared.
However, in the skies of these four aircraft carriers, there is simply not a single carrier-based aircraft capable of escorting aircraft carriers.
When the American sailors on the aircraft carrier spotted the figure of the aircraft group in the distance, everyone's expressions froze.
No one naively thought that this was an American plane, and after the torpedo attack, it must have been an enemy plane.
The anti-aircraft firepower that could still be used on the US aircraft carriers roared, but the sparse anti-aircraft firepower could not stop the speeding fighters at all.
Intruder fighters at a gallop, guns poured on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and aerial bombs were dropped under the belly.
The attack was much simpler than expected, because there was no carrier-based aircraft escort in the sky above the US aircraft carrier, resulting in the intruder fighters escorting the bombers to come and could not find an opponent at all.
In order to reduce the weight of the return, all the carrier-based fighters dropped bombs one after another, and also consumed some of the aviation cannon bullets.
The US aircraft carrier, which was completely defenseless, several carrier-based aircraft that tried to take off were directly destroyed on the deck, and the aircraft carrier was burning everywhere, and the last resistance was weakening rapidly.
When carrier-based bombers appeared, the four US aircraft carriers could only be beaten passively.
The bombers carried one-ton penetrating bombs dropped one after another as they swept over the aircraft carrier.
The penetrating bombs weighing up to one ton easily penetrated the layers of decks of the aircraft carrier and then detonated, and these US aircraft carriers, which weighed more than 20,000 tons, could not resist such an attack at all.
The entire attack lasted less than ten minutes, and all four US aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean were sunk.
The carrier-based aircraft that completed the attack returned to the sea as soon as possible, and this time the attack was too easy, there was no difficulty at all, and it was even easier than training.
As the carrier-based aircraft unit retreated, a huge submarine surfaced to the surface and began to capture prisoners, or rather, to save American GIs who had fallen overboard.
One by one, the American GIs who fell into the water, looking at the huge submarines that appeared on the silent battlefield, all of their faces changed color.
The fleet that was attacked was so sudden that it was too late to put down the lifeboats, and all the American sailors who escaped could only soak in the seawater.
Becoming a prisoner was inevitable, a huge Typhoon-class submarine appeared, and the American sailors who surrendered quickly also climbed onto the submarine, handcuffed and handcuffed, and then escorted into the submarine.
On the four aircraft carriers, only a few hundred people survived, and these hundreds of people were detained in the submarine, and then the submarine dived and left the sea area.
On the command ship of the Growth Tianwang, the report of the first round of attacks was also submitted as soon as possible.
"The attack process went unusually smoothly, it seems that the Americans did not conduct night training for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land, and no carrier-based aircraft took off just after dawn, otherwise the attack would not have gone so smoothly." Ji Fengling put down the printed report and said to Fan Yize.
"Four aircraft carriers, for the industry of the United States, are nothing at all, and the US Navy will recover very quickly." Fan Yize glanced at the contents of the report and said: "Therefore, we cannot give the United States enough offensive front, so whether it is Midway or Hawaii, it must be in our hands in one go." ”
"In the future, we will not be able to avoid facing both the United States and Japan at the same time." Ji Fengchi said.
"Flanking attack, that's just an illusion, as long as the U.S. warships can't cross the mainland to Hawaii for 2,000 nautical miles, how can they come?" Fan Yize said with a smile: "As for the American bombers, it depends on how many bombers the United States dares to bomb Hawaii without the escort of fighter jets." ”
In the entire Pacific operation plan, the Red Guard Corps had full consideration, attacking the United States, letting Japan go first, and letting Japan scourge the western Pacific region first, while the Red Guard Corps let go of its hands and feet and occupied Hawaii, Midway, and all the islands in the South Pacific, and of course, Australia.
As for the threat from the US mainland, the submarine force of the Red Alert Navy is enough to blockade all US ships and fleets, and the defense of Hawaii and Midway Island will also be rapidly deployed, plus the defense of the fleet, the surveillance of AWACS, and the threat of US retaliatory bombing, there is no such thing as a threat.
At least for the next two years, the United States will not be able to attack Hawaii at all, and all ships and planes close to Hawaii and Midway will be attacked.
Unless the United States bypasses Hawaii and Midway and throws its forces into the western Pacific.
On the contrary, once the Red Alert Air Force stabilizes Hawaii, it will be able to take off bombers from Hawaii to bomb the West Coast of the United States, although the West Coast is not a concentration area of American industry, but it can also cause certain losses to American industry.
However, Fan Yize will not bomb the United States easily, after all, the cost of bombing the United States is not low, and the radar defense of the United States is sound, and it is really unnecessary to be able to take off a large number of fighters to intercept bombers at any time.
"Is the first round of Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor over?" Shifting his attention to Pearl Harbor, Fan Yize asked Ji Fengchi.
"There is no news yet, but our carrier-based fighters are ready to intercept Japanese fighters." Ji Fengchi said.
Not attacking the Japanese fleet does not mean that it will not do anything against Japan, the Japanese fleet is not the first, and the Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots are the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese navy.
Fan Yize intends to let go of the Japanese fleet, but he will definitely not let go of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.
However, the attack will not be launched immediately, because it will take at least two or three hours for the first Japanese carrier-based aircraft to return to the Japanese fleet.
Fan Yize looked at the time, it was already half past eight, and the group of planes for the first round of Japanese attacks should have returned.
Because the second group of Japanese carrier-based aircraft will soon attack Pearl Harbor again.
"Where is the Japanese fleet at the moment?" Fan Yize asked.
"According to the latest information sent by the AWACS aircraft, the Japanese fleet is currently only 190 nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor, and its position is directly north of Pearl Harbor." Ji Fengchi said.
"It looks like everything is going according to plan." Fan Yize said.
All the actions of Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor are completely consistent with the historical point in time, which is also the greatest advantage of the Red Guard Corps.
Knowing the return time of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, as well as the position of the fleet, and the time of action, for the Red Guard Corps, it is only necessary to wait for the rabbit.
Ji Fengling looked at the time and ordered: "Let the early warning command platform carry out electronic jamming according to the original plan, and the carrier-based fighters will also intercept the returning Japanese carrier-based aircraft according to the original plan." ”
In the past period of time, the Red Guard Corps has collected Japan's electronic communication frequency bands and carried out targeted jamming, which is enough to make Japan deaf and dumb.
This is also another advantage in this era, because in this era there is no concept of electronic warfare at all, and the electronic communications of various countries only have basic interception and decipherment, but the interference of the targeted spectrum has not yet officially appeared.
This is also the reason why the AWACS aircraft was able to easily interfere with the communications of US aircraft carriers before, and they had no awareness of this at all, and they were defenseless, and they could easily succeed with simple jamming.
Fan Yize did not intend to let the Japanese know about the interception of the Japanese carrier-based plane, mainly interfering with the radio on the Japanese carrier-based plane, and Fan Yize wanted Nagumo Tadaichi to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible.
The carrier-based aircraft did not return for a long time, and there was no news, Nagumo Tadaichi did not dare to let the fleet stay near Hawaii for a long time, so he could only choose to leave as soon as possible.
If there is no carrier-based aircraft back, it will definitely frighten the Japanese, and this is what Fan Yize wants.
After scaring off the Japanese, the Red Guard Corps will be relieved to land in Hawaii.
The Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation returning at this moment did not know the danger of the future, and they were all very excited to cheer and celebrate the success of the attack.
The whole of Pearl Harbor was burning, and it was a glorious victory for the Japanese Navy.
It is worthy of every soldier of the Japanese Navy, full of pride.
The pilots of the Japanese carrier-based planes, with excitement on their faces, were eager to return to the aircraft carrier as soon as possible and tell everyone about the great success of the air raid.
The excited Japanese pilots did not realize that in the airspace more than a dozen kilometers away from them, an AWACS aircraft was tailing.
The radar on the AWACS aircraft clearly locked on the more than 100 Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and a large number of carrier-based fighters following the carrier-based aircraft were already ready to go.
