Bill didn't react, because he was just an ordinary person, and the series of operations that Louie had just done was actually something that every pilot could do, but he couldn't do it so fast.

In particular, the sudden slowdown deliberately allowed the enemy plane to overtake, and the Zero fighter roared past from the front was a momentary thing, and normal people could not react at all. When Louis hoisted the two Zeros, he raised the speed to a considerable level, and the planes of both sides were racing at speeds close to four hundred kilometers.

Like the pilot of the Zero, Louie's sudden drum maneuver and deceleration caught him off guard, and he had rushed to the front when he realized it.

Of course, it is normal to change the position of offense and defense when fighting in the air, and it is a big deal to change the situation with the flexibility of the Zero fighter, no one would have imagined that at the moment of overtaking, Louis would be able to complete the counterattack.

This is the advantage of the Jedi, the Jedi can use a lightsaber to bounce dozens of explosive beams in a second, Louis can't do this kind of reaction and sword speed now, but it is still very simple to deal with an ordinary human pilot.

Not to mention that he had already 'foreseen' the flight trajectory of the Zero, and after making a maneuver, it seemed that the machine gun at the front of the plane was aimed at that position, in fact, all this was in Louie's calculations, all he had to do was pull the trigger and get his first kill after becoming a pilot.

Louie, who had returned to normal flight speed, rejoined Deakins and the wingman who had been thrown away, ready to support his comrades who were caught up in the struggle with other enemy aircraft.

After realizing that Pearl Harbor had really been attacked and that many of the planes flying in the sky were enemy planes, Lieutenant Colonel Howard Young asked the radioman to inform the direction of Pearl Harbor: Be careful of the targets that the anti-aircraft guns were aiming at, and it was not only the enemy who was flying in the sky now, but also them!

Historically, Lieutenant Colonel Howard Young never expected to be attacked, and even sent the enemy plane to a considerable distance, and although Lieutenant Colonel Young got rid of the Zero with good reflexes and piloting skills, the adjutant sitting in the back seat of him was shot and killed in this round of attacks.

The entire dreadnought flight formation lost three fighters and six people in this short contact battle, and the result was that one Zero fighter was shot down, or John Vogt was knocked down by the dreadnought.

Now because of Louis's agitation, the Zero fighters failed to 'sneak attack' this flying formation, and Lieutenant Colonel Howard Young commanded the formation to bypass the anti-aircraft artillery fire at Pearl Harbor, looking for opportunities to intercept and kill those enemy fighters who were preparing to retreat on the periphery, and then after communicating with Pearl Harbor, he commanded the formation to land.

At this time, the enemy was already retreating one after another, and there were no more Japanese planes in the sky, and the American troops on the ground had also changed from meeting the enemy to rescuing and extinguishing fires, and a runway had been cleared for Lieutenant Colonel Howard Young's formation to land.

They couldn't fly in the sky all the time, and even if their physical strength was enough, the plane's fuel couldn't support it, and the flight formations that kept their vigilance landed on Pearl Harbor one by one, and Louis and Deakins were the last two pilots to land.

Until the plane came to a standstill and was back on the ground, Bill Miller was still in a state of bewilderment.

The war broke out suddenly, he didn't expect to catch up with a real war in a daze, and he didn't expect to experience such an 'exciting' aerial combat in person.

Even if many people came over and patted him on the shoulder and said 'well done', he couldn't come back to his senses and think about what happened just now.

"Congratulations, Lieutenant Deakins and Ensign Hunt, as far as I have been told, you two are the only pilots on our side who have shot down enemy planes. ”

Pearl Harbor was attacked, most of the planes did not have a chance to take off, and the enemy planes that were shot down were all shot down by anti-aircraft artillery, but according to the number known so far, with the addition of the two that were shot down by Louis and Deakins, there were less than ten of them.

It can be said that the Japanese completed this attack at a very small cost.

"The enemy is likely to have a second attack, so we need to be prepared for a sortie. "This is not Lt. Col. Howard Young alone, the entire Pearl Harbor command can tell that there will be a second attack, and is now working hard to clear the runway, fill up the fighter jets with fuel and ammunition, and keep the pilots ready to take off.

For the group of bomber pilots from the Enterprise, it does not mean that there is nothing to do without them, they also have to be on standby in combat positions, and they will also take to the air to fight if necessary.

Their goal is not fighter jets in the air, but to find enemy submarines that are hiding near the harbor or even infiltrating it.

Japanese submarines had already been spotted in the first round of attacks, and they still had to be careful against the underwater enemy in the future.

In addition, there is also the possibility that the location of the enemy aircraft carrier is discovered, then their group of bomber pilots can come in handy and can launch a counterattack against the enemy.

Unfortunately, although the second round of attacks came quickly, Lieutenant Colonel Howard Young's group seemed to be forgotten, and they could only wait here dryly, and did not receive the order to attack until the end of the battle.

In fact, they just forgot about it, Pearl Harbor was in chaos now, everyone was fighting on their own, and the commanders were trying to mobilize their men to defend and counterattack, and no one remembered the pilots from the Enterprise.

In addition, the order received earlier was 'on standby', and everyone could not make their own decisions, so they could only wait in the base honestly, until the battle was over, and the base side found that there was still a formed flight formation on standby.

When the results were counted, it was also found that the fighter that took off from the Enterprise and returned to Pearl Harbor successfully shot down two enemy fighters in the air.

After having had a real exchange of fire with the Zero, the U.S. military had discovered the strength of the enemy's fighters, and at this time Louis and Deakis' record was very conspicuous, and they wanted to know how Louis and Deakis did it? Is it pure luck?

Deakins and Louie were called over and told the story of the battle in person.

"Have you ever considered flying a fighter jet?"

At the end of the report, Louie, who contributed his 'improvised Hunter Scissors' tactic, overheard such an inquiry.

"I still prefer to drop bombs on my hometown with those planes. "Of course not, Louie's task is not to shoot down as many Zeros.

"It's a shame that I would have liked to see more scissors in the Pacific sky. This sentence also concludes the conversation, and on the spot promotes Louis to lieutenant and Deakins to captain.

As the only two pilots on the Enterprise to shoot down a Japanese fighter plane, everyone was not surprised by their promotion, not even Louie himself thought it was a big deal.

"Sure enough, if a soldier wants to be promoted quickly, he has to fight. "If it was a time of peace, Louis would only have to work up slowly through his qualifications, and although a pilot like him, who had not attended a naval academy and was born in an ordinary person, would not be discriminated against, it would be difficult to climb up.

It's not a question of ability, you must know that the top to the middle level of the Navy basically have an academy background, and under the same conditions, they must be more willing to promote their juniors, and in peacetime, how can you prove that you are much better than your competitors?

Only a real war can show a clear disparity, because those who are poor or strong enough and unlucky are dead, and those who are really strong and lucky enough have no competitors at all.

"Louie, board!"

After the battle of Pearl Harbor, the Enterprise also sailed into the harbor. However, the Enterprise will not stay in the port for long, and the port will replenish the Enterprise overnight, and when this work is completed, it will return to the Pacific Ocean to carry out search and reconnaissance missions.

In this short period of time, Deakins and Dick went to the funerals of many classmates and friends, which was not such a pleasant experience, and when Dicks returned, he was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, and he was eager to immediately drive the plane to the Japanese aircraft carrier.

"There's going to be a chance, Dick!"

"Let's hope those stupid guys in the intelligence department get smarter this time!"

The Enterprise only made a short stop at Pearl Harbor before going to sea again, and all the soldiers who were supposed to be on vacation returned to the ship, because of the sudden outbreak of war, their rotation would be extended indefinitely, and the exact extension of time would have to be judged according to the situation.

No one complained at this time, everyone had a fire in their stomachs, and this fire was enough to sustain them for another long voyage at sea.

Louis is different, his belly is full of the Force, and the feeling that going to sea again is only 'to be in a daze with the rough sea again', and if he can, he hopes to encounter some bad sea conditions and feel more 'the power of nature', which seems to give him a new understanding of the Force.

Although this perception is prone to some sequelae: even if he is physically strong, some pilots still feel uncomfortable, which leads to Louis, who is in better physical condition, to increase his workload and fly into the sky more frequently to carry out reconnaissance missions.

It's not a big deal, after all, you can occasionally play high-altitude dive fried fish.

"Congratulations, Lieutenant! ”

The Japanese submarine that floated up was caught by Louie, who was scouting from the air, with an eagle eye, and Louis became the pilot who killed the most enemy soldiers on the Enterprise.

"I'd rather find the nest of those guys. ”

It's a pity that I didn't encounter an aircraft carrier during the reconnaissance mission, and if I did, I might have been able to complete the mission ahead of schedule, and now it seems that I can only wait for the big battle at Midway.
