Overnight, the US troops on Kuah Island were subjected to indiscriminate bombardment by nearly 4,000 420-millimeter shells fired by the "Izumi."

The returning artillery fleet also did not hesitate to pour the large-caliber shells it carried on the US troops on the island.

The area covered by the shelling progressed from west to east, and thousands of 20-420 mm projectiles were projected like a plough to places where the enemy might be hiding.

By the morning of the 29th, the commander of the 1st Army, Robert ? Lieutenant General Eckerberg's troops had given up any idea of a counterattack and were bent on waiting for reinforcements.

Although the aviation suffered heavy losses in four air raids, Admiral Halsey did not give up his intention to rescue the troops on Kuah Island.

Submarines in the waters near the Solomon Islands, as well as detachments of destroyers and torpedo boats ambushed on the surrounding islands, were ordered to carry out surprise attacks on the Japanese artillery fleet at night.

Even if it can't be inflicted heavy damage, it will slow down the process of the opponent's shelling of Kuah Island and buy precious time for its own reinforcements.

The U.S. Navy was not originally good at night fighting, but after Green Hell was taught many times by its opponents, its level improved by leaps and bounds.

Mikawa Junichi and Nagumo Tadaichi were both experts in night battles and lightning warfare, and they were also overwhelmed by the night attack by the US military and were tired of coping.

At the cost of losing 5 submarines, 7 destroyers, and 16 torpedo boats, the US military sank 2 heavy cruisers, 1 light cruiser, and 3 destroyers.

And the damage of the battleships "Izumi" and "King Kong" more or less saved some face for Admiral Halsey.

However, this fruitful Jedi counterattack still could not help the defenders of Kuah Island completely get rid of the predicament of being passively beaten.

By daylight the next day, the 1st Army continued to come under heavy enemy shelling and heavy bombardment by aviation.

Lieutenant General Eikelberg made a rough count of the battle reports summarized below, and found that his troops had been damaged by nearly 10,000 people, which was almost equivalent to the establishment of most of the infantry divisions.

If this continues, I am afraid that in less than a week, all the men and horses of the headquarters will have to become disabled, let alone resist the enemy's attack.

In view of the fact that victory had become in his own pocket, the divine envoy decided to hand over the command of the artillery fleet to the two second-cargo generals, and he took the "Izumi" to pursue and kill the American task force.

That's right!

It's to hit aircraft carriers with battleships!

Use the long, thick, and big main cannon to serve the "Mama-san" of the US military!

Because the "Yi"-27B submarine was about 300 nautical miles southeast of Kuah Island, it discovered the figure of the US special task force.

Judging by the speed and appearance of the other side, it is the "Sangamon" and "Borg" class escort aircraft carriers, and the maximum speed of these two flatbed ships is only 18 knots.

In fact, this is the 17th Task Force under the command of Lieutenant General Spruance, which is on its way back to New Caledonia after running out of carrier-based aircraft.

It has four Sangamon-class escort aircraft carriers and two Borg-class escort carriers, as well as four turtle speed battleships ("Tennessee", "California", "Colorado", "Maryland"), plus 22 destroyers.

It would have been unwise to launch an attack on such a large fleet with a single submarine, so the I-27 simply acted as a scout, reported its position to the Rabaul base, and waited for good news.

Do you want to do it?

Do you need to ask this question???

Of course!

Remember!

Dry!

Just one word!

I'll just say it once!

If there are difficulties, there are no difficulties, and if there are difficulties, you must do it!

Do it during the day, and even more so at night!

No matter how far away, do it!

And if you don't do it, it's enough, if you want to do it, you can do it!

Port Noumea, where the headquarters of the South Pacific Theater Command is located, is one of the blessed places of the "Izumi".

Last time here, the second cargo youth sank two battleships, one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, eleven destroyers, thirty-five transports, and six tankers with huge artillery and torpedo sea tactics!

Admiral Halsey had just cleaned up the mess here, but he didn't expect the old enemy to come to "visit" again!

The clever and decisive Vice Admiral Spruance, after receiving the aerial reconnaissance report, did not choose to let the fleet fight the "bastard battleship".

Instead, the 17th Task Force was reduced to zero, and six escort aircraft carriers were ordered to run in six directions under the protection of battleships and destroyers!

In this way, even if these clumsy ships had low speeds, the Japanese super battleships could only choose one target to attack, so as to save the other five small fleets.

This move caused the battleship "Izumi" to chase after the young man for two days, and as a result, the aircraft carrier "Chenango" and four destroyers were caught!

It is an exaggeration to say that the income is not enough for gas in the end!

“…… Your Excellency, what should we do? ”

When encountering this kind of thing, Masao Nishida didn't know how to deal with it.

Obviously, the other party is bullying himself that he only has one battleship, and it is impossible to attack in multiple ways.

Spruance's run-and-run tactics completely neutralized the powerful advantage of the Japanese super battleships.

"Cancel the plan to go south, immediately turn around and go north!"

Damn, you have a good plan, and the deity has a wall ladder!

Since the moving target is not easy to catch, then Lao Tzu will go to the moving target!

"You're going to ......"

Nishida Masao thought that the angry god envoy was planning to use the American troops on Kuah Island to vent his anger.

"Inform Mikawa and get the battleship 'Hiei' ready to join us!"

“…… Be! ”

"Also, inform Commander Yamamoto and ask him to transfer a 'Zeppelin' aircraft carrier, load twenty Ta-152 fighters and corresponding pilots, and mobilize four fast heavy cruisers to escort us and rendezvous with us at sea!"

"God ...... Your Excellency"

Masao Nishida and everyone in the command tower were already dizzy, and no one knew what the Divine Envoy was doing.

"Tell Commander Yamamoto to have the Navy prepare a thousand tons of gold!"

"This ......"

"I believe there should be smart people in the navy who can guess what Ben is going to do!"

“……”

Masao Nishida thinks that his IQ is not low anymore, otherwise he would not be a jerk in the position of captain.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't understand the intention of the divine envoy.

North?

It seems that a small aircraft carrier fleet will also be formed.

But what is this all about?

"Your Excellency, what is the purpose of the Divine Envoy?"

Chief of Staff Yu Huan received the contents of the telegram and was puzzled for a long time.

"Hehe, what does Koga-kun think?"

Yamamoto didn't answer directly, but instead asked Koga Mineichi, this thing is in the upper echelons of the navy, and the overall situation is very good.

“…… I only think that the gods will make a big move, and it is very likely that an adventurous plan will be implemented! ”

Based on the content of the message, Koga Mineichi speculated on several possibilities, but without sufficient reasons, he did not dare to make a conclusion.

"Originally, I was just like you, a little confused, but I saw that the gods asked us to prepare gold! I think there's a good chance he's aiming for here! ”

The gambler's general pointed at a target on the map, causing everyone present to gasp, which was simply a bold plan.

The Divine Envoy only asked for one aircraft carrier and four cruisers to be transferred to do this, which is a completely impossible task!

"Nothing is impossible, we thought it was impossible, and what happened?"

When the gambler general showed a very surprised expression on everyone's face, he knew what they were thinking, so he bluntly said that he was very confident in him.

On the evening of 5 June, the battleship cruiser "Hiei" led by the Mikawa Gunichi joined up with the "Izumi".

After two o'clock in the morning the next day, the miniature mobile fleet under the command of Jizaburo Ozawa also arrived in the predetermined sea area as scheduled.

"Gentlemen, I believe that before you came, Commander Yamamoto did not clearly state the true purpose and content of this mission, but this is convenient for secrecy, because it involves a top-secret operation, and the fewer people who know, the better!"

Neither Ozawa nor Mikawa knew what the Divine Envoy was going to do, and the Gambler General only ordered himself to fully cooperate with the Divine Being's actions.

It wasn't until the two of them led their respective warships to merge that they were told by the young man of the second cargo that they were going north to do something earth-shattering.

Second Sneak Attack on Pearl Harbor!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as they were not spotted by passing ships on the way, no one would have thought that the Japanese fleet would attack the location of the Pacific Fleet headquarters at this time.

Even after the gambler general guessed it, he thought it was incredible, but if he thought about it carefully, even he felt that it was very sudden, and the US military would not know it in advance.

As for the use of such a few warships, I want to do what I would have done with the mobilization of the entire Combined Fleet.

Yamamoto believes that the Divine Envoy will wield a powerful divine power that has never been seen before!

And only in this way can we get Pearl Harbor!

Kingston on Norfolk Island (near the meeting point) is about 3,700 nautical miles (7,000 kilometers) from Pearl Harbor and would have taken more than five days to reach the battleship Izumi.

If it were to avoid merchant routes and the areas where U.S. submarines might be infested, the miniature fleet could take nearly seven days to sail.

But this is not a problem, the most serious problem is that the maximum range of the Ta-152 is only 1200 km, which is equivalent to 648 nautical miles.

Excluding the possible air combat time in between, this kind of carrier-based aircraft, which is temporarily pulled up to the deck of an aircraft carrier, can only take off if it is within 300 nautical miles of the target.

The reason why the second cargo youth insisted on using the Ta-152 fighter was that its maximum ceiling reached 14,800 meters, which exceeded the range of most US anti-aircraft guns.

This time, His Holiness is going to go into battle in person, so flight safety is the top priority.

"What? You're going to bomb Pearl Harbor during the day??? ”

Masao Nishida felt that it would be impossible to use 20 fighter planes to attack Pearl Harbor, which the U.S. military had carefully managed during the day.

When Ozawa and Mikawa learned of the specific plan of action, they were surprised that they didn't speak for a long time.

"That's right! During the day, the target situation is clearer, easier to identify and attack! ”

This time, the young people of the second cargo do not plan to carry out the "bombing", since they are going to launch a carpet bombing, at least they should take pictures.

It is relatively safe to carry out night raids, but it is difficult to judge the effectiveness of the bombing.

Without real evidence, how can I go back and ask Yamamoto to reimburse the 1,000 tons of gold bill?

At one o'clock in the afternoon of June 12, the mobile fleet arrived in the sea area with the farthest take-off distance of the Ta-152.

Twenty fighter planes piloted by HNA pilots took off one after another from the deck of the "Canglong" aircraft carrier.

They are not subordinate to carrier-based aircraft units, so they do not have any experience of landing on aircraft carriers.

But there is no need to land like this, when you return, just slow down and make a forced landing on the sea, and then let the cruiser pick it up.

"Report, unidentified fleet of planes, number 20, heading northwest, heading towards Pearl Harbor!"

When the attack formation flew over the airspace near Oahu, the US radar station located on the hill immediately spotted it.

Pearl Harbor is a low-lying area of the plain between the Kolau Mountains and the Waianay Mountains on the southern shore of Oahu.

With an area of about 32 square kilometers and an average depth of 14 meters, it can accommodate up to 500 ships.

After the seizure from Spain in 1898, the United States built a ship repair yard, dry dock, fuel supply depot, docks, and necessary naval facilities at Pearl Harbor, and in the twenties established a submarine base and air station.

“…… Probably, enemy aircraft, immediately notify the aviation and air defense forces! ”

Last time, it was carelessness that led to a slam from the enemy here, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Pacific Fleet.

After that, Admiral Nimitz ordered any plane flying to Pearl Harbor to be notified in advance, otherwise it could be shot down.

"Only twenty ???"

Admiral Ni, who was reported at the first time, was still a little puzzled, could it be that the radar station made a mistake?

If it was a Japanese aircraft group, what would it be enough to use this plane to attack Pearl Harbor?

At present, the harbor is mainly anchored with the light aircraft carrier "Bataan" (Dukasa class) and the escort aircraft carrier "Prince William" (Borg class).

and two turtle speed battleships - "Pennsylvania" and "Nevada", and then there are the 10,000-ton heavy cruiser "Portland" and the light cruiser "Concord".

The aircraft carrier "Enterprise" and the heavy cruiser "Wichita", which were badly damaged in the Battle of Kuah, are being repaired on the slipway opposite "Battleship Street".

Admiral Nee sent most of the living forces to the front line, and the large warships that remained in the harbor either had to be treated or had just returned from escorting from the West Coast of the United States.

But this is already quite a lot, plus a dozen destroyers in the harbor, enough to form a new task force.

Last time, the gambler general sent someone over, but he didn't even catch an aircraft carrier, so he could only vent his anger on the clumsy turtle speed battleship.

"They fly too high! We can't reach it! ”

The U.S. military, which was responsible for the interception, found that the Japanese fighters were higher than their enclaves******-51 had a practical ceiling of 12,800 meters, and a maximum ceiling of more than 13,500 meters, but it still couldn't reach the Ta-152 at an altitude close to 15,000 meters!

The performance of the P-47 is also similar to that of the "Mustang", and the 72 US fighters sent can only use machine guns to "shoot" the hateful enemy planes when they climb upward.

This is not a threat at all to the air attack aircraft group commanded by the second-class young man, and they are not as lethal as those large-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the ground.

What's more, US fighters simply cannot fly directly below and gain a favorable attack position.

Because the second-class youth began to drop bombs!

A large number of aerial bombs exchanged from the system can be thrown directly from a high altitude!

How powerful are tens of thousands of one-ton bombs?

Anyway, the fireball on the ground almost obscured the target.

Surprised by the escort pilots, the Divine Envoy carried out a carpet bombing of Pearl Harbor.

"Battleship Street", "Ford" naval air station, "Siakam" airfield, docks, docks, fuel depots, machine factories and other important tactical targets of value were all covered by seamless firepower.

Bombs falling from high altitudes turn the harbor area into a sea of fire, and no fixed target can escape the fate of being engulfed in flames.

Everywhere there were trance-like and chaotic cries for help, and the US officers and soldiers seemed to feel that the surrounding air was burning, the sea was boiling, and the land was scorching.

No one but God Almighty can save them from this high-temperature purgatory in no time!

What the combined fleet missed last time, this time the second cargo youth basically made up for it, and even a transport ship or even an airplane will not be spared.

The adjacent port of Honolulu was not spared and was flattened by Wakatsuki.

Even if the U.S. military hurries up the time to repair it, it will be difficult to recover within a year.

Through the analysis and comparison of aerial photographs taken before and after the bombing, and the oral accounts of the pilots who had already participated in the battle, Tokyo announced that the air raid had won a brilliant victory, and the significance was even greater than the first one.

The total supply sank three US aircraft carriers, two battleships, three cruisers, 19 destroyers, 82 merchant ships and transport ships, destroyed 598 combat aircraft, and wiped out 4.5 million tons of heavy oil stored in the port.

Immediately after the bombing, the young man of the second cargo launched a code signal to the mobile fleet to symbolize success.

Last time it was codenamed "Tiger!" Tiger! Tiger! ”。

This time it's a lot of time......

666！！！！！！！！！！！！

At this point, Pearl Harbor was completely destroyed after the bombing, and the vitality of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy was greatly damaged.

The main battleships that were destroyed were useless even if they were fished up, because they were all blown into popcorn by heavy aerial bombs.

The strategic counteroffensive plan that had been prepared for implementation had to be postponed immediately, and the South Pacific front was fully put on the defensive!
