Chapter 507, America's Wrath.
"Dead, dead!" Nojima Rikuto scolded, then picked up the assault rifle, closed his left eye slightly, and quickly aimed the crosshair at the figure who had shot at him just now. Bang, gently pull the trigger, and a bullet is fired. Moments later, the bullet pierced the glass and the curtains, and a stream of blood splattered onto the curtains. "Your Excellency, your marksmanship is amazing! It's a hit! ”
A special soldier next to the Nojima lando, lost no time in sticking out his thumb and patting the horse's ass. "Yo Xi! You're all bad, you all have to be very good at marksmanship! Nojima Rikuto was very stinky and gave back the thumbs up, and then half-squinted his eyes and found a new target again. But this time it wasn't so lucky, as soon as Nojima Rikuto pulled the trigger, the black shadow disappeared in front of the window, and it was obvious that the Americans on the opposite floor were not stupid!
After a fierce counterattack by the devil special forces, they directly beat the American soldiers on the opposite floor so that they didn't dare to take their heads, and they hid behind the wall one after another. "Today, boys, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service, and we must clean up the US Navy Command!" At this time, Nojima Luren waved his hand again and said, "All of them, assault!" ”
"Onboard!" "Onboard!"
The devil special forces yelled a few times, then stood up and continued to charge forward. However, at this moment, I saw more than a dozen American officers rushing out of the gate of the headquarters and quickly running towards the car parked in front of the door. "Baga Ya Road! The American commander is about to run away, stop it quickly! ”
When Nojima Rikuto saw this posture, he didn't understand what was going on, and he couldn't care about his own safety anymore, so he suddenly stood up and sprinted wildly with a gun. "Kill!" A group of devil special forces also sped up their sprint to intercept the fleeing American officers.
Da-da-da-da! Bang bang bang!
Tongues of fire erupted from the headquarters building again, and a string of bullets hit, and more than a dozen devil special forces fell to the ground in response, lying in a pool of blood. "Eight Ga Ya Road!" "Dead, dead!"
The devil suffered a big loss, and did not dare to continue to run naked to chase and kill, so he hurriedly fell to the ground again and opened fire with the American soldiers in the headquarters building. At the same time, seeing that the more than a dozen American officers had already run to the car and were hurriedly getting into the car, Nojima Rikuto and other devils did not continue to get used to them, and crackled into a burst of random shooting. Several American officers were beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground, and then streams of blood flowed out, and a moment later the dirt was stained red.
The motor of a military vehicle suddenly sounded, and then it was seen moving forward from slow to fast. "Yaga! Can't let them run away! Seeing that the U.S. military vehicle had already started to flee, Nojima Rikuto only felt that he had missed 100 million, so he picked up his gun and fired wildly at the military vehicle. However, it didn't have much use, and I could only watch the military vehicle run farther and farther under my nose, and disappear after a while.
"Eight Tooth Road! You can't let go of a Yankee again, but if you resist, kill them all! Although Nojima Rikuto was very angry, he knew that a living American officer was far more effective than a dead American officer. Soon, the devil special forces once again dumbed down all the fire points of the opposite building. "Okamoto's squad is covered by fire, and the rest are moving forward at full speed! Assault! "This time, the Nojima land people didn't let everyone charge together, but left a small half of the devils to squat and suppress the firepower!
"Hello!" "Assault!"
More than a hundred devil special forces gritted their teeth and began to sprint at full speed, at this time they were only more than 200 meters away from the building, and the normal speed only took 30 seconds to run under the building. "Rush with me!" The land people of Nojima, who were completely open, threw off their arms and legs, and ran wildly with more than 100 devil soldiers! A husband is desperate to be invincible, not to mention more than a hundred well-trained devil special forces?
Although they were once again blocked by the American soldiers hiding in the headquarters, the devil special forces, who had been keeping an eye in the rear, fired fiercely at the barrels and figures that appeared at the first time.
The US Navy Command, which originally had few defenders, was completely unable to stop the devil special forces with vicious marksmanship, and after several attritions, there were only dozens of civilian personnel left who did not have much combat effectiveness! When the devil special forces arrived at the building with great momentum, these civilians did not make a fierce resistance, but raised their hands and surrendered! "Yo Si! Immediately send a telegram to the fleet command, which has already captured the US Navy command and cut off the Hawaiian chain of command! ”
After capturing the naval headquarters, Nojima Rikuto finally raised his eyebrows, although the Supreme Commander, Vice Admiral Short, became a fish that slipped through the net, but this did not prevent the final result! ……
Under the desperate protection of several staff officers, Lieutenant General Short narrowly escaped the shooting of the Japanese special forces, and galloped all the way to an airport, although it had been subjected to a fierce air attack by devils, and all the docked combat planes were blown up. But 15 minutes ago, three B-17 bombers flying from the mainland were lucky enough to miss the Devil bomber group and landed here intact.
"Are we really just going to run away?" After getting out of the car, Schott stared blankly at the wreckage of the plane that was still smoking in front of him, where more than 30 new combat planes were originally parked, but now they have all turned into a pile of scrap metal! Short felt so painful that he was alive and dead, and he really felt a sense of shame when he saw Jiangdong's father without a face.
Seeing that Short was hesitant, Colonel's staff officer Cyril once again tried to persuade him bitterly: "Your Excellency Commander, get on the plane quickly." You must also make it back to Washington alive no matter what! If it's too late, none of them will leave! "Alas!"
Lieutenant General Short sighed deeply, then turned and walked towards the B-17 bomber. A minute later, three B-17 bombers took off and flew straight to the continental United States with the sound of rumbling motors. Not long after Lieutenant General Short flew away, a surprising number of Japanese landing forces appeared near the island of Hawaii. Immediately afterwards, under the cover of heavy bombardment by combat aircraft and Japanese naval guns, the Japanese Second Division began to land on the beach.
Three years ago, the Japanese army, which had no experience in beach-rushing and landing operations, suffered a great loss at the hands of Yang Fan, but after three years of study and training, the Japanese army's beach-rushing and landing operations were no longer what they used to be. The US military, which has lost air supremacy and command system, can only go its own way and use its coastal defense artillery, heavy machine guns, antiaircraft machine guns, and antiaircraft guns to fight bloodily against the swarming devil landing troops.
However, the general situation was irreversible, and the fierce battle only lasted more than two hours, and the American defenders of Hawaii Island, who suffered heavy casualties, finally had to accept the reality and surrender to the Japanese under the white flag!
White House, Washington, USA. "Mr. President!"
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox hurriedly walked into the president's office, and said to Roosevelt in a wheelchair with an extremely ugly face: "It has been confirmed that the Hawaiian Islands have suffered a large-scale sneak attack by the Japanese, and now the situation is very bad!" Roosevelt frowned, took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, how bad is it?" ”
"According to the information that has been fed back so far, I'm afraid the Pacific Fleet is basically finished!" Knox replied: "In the event of a sneak attack, the Pacific Fleet and the Hawaiian ground forces were not prepared at all, and the Japanese used a huge fleet of combat aircraft, including high-altitude bombing, torpedo bombers, dive bombers, and land attack aircraft.
Not only is the "Pacific Fleet" moored at Pearl Harbor really finished? ”
Roosevelt's heart shook suddenly, and his head exploded as soon as he buzzed, and when he suddenly received a letter from the Japanese foreign minister and the ambassador to the United States, he felt that things were not so simple, but he didn't think that the Japanese had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they had already planned to attack the Pacific Fleet! "Is this God playing a joke on us?"
Roosevelt slapped the table with great anger and roared with resentment: "The Hawaiian Islands are more than 6,000 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland, and such a long raid distance and such a huge combined fleet have arrived at Pearl Harbor silently?" And our Pacific Fleet and Hawaiian ground forces did not even notice the slightest before the attack? Not ready for any battles? ”“……”
Knox's face was gloomy as water, and in the face of Roosevelt's questioning, he had no reason to refute it, and he couldn't even say words of explanation, and his heart was full of anger and shame.
The Pacific Fleet of the United States of America could have made such a low-level mistake and was successfully attacked by the Japanese fleet, which was more than 6,000 kilometers away, and ended up being completely annihilated. No matter how you justify such a result, it will only be a great historical shame and a monstrous enmity that people will always remember! Hull took off his glasses, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered:
"Mr. President, as you said, Hawaii is so far away from Japan, and the Japanese launched a massive air raid on Hawaii less than half an hour after the declaration of war, and it is clear that the attack was carefully planned over many days or even weeks. In my 50 years in politics, I have never seen such a despicable and shameless sneak attack, and the damned Japanese will definitely be punished with the severest punishment. "Despicable and shameless!"
Roosevelt gritted his teeth and said to Hull: "Please draft a declaration of war against the Japanese as soon as possible, and then submit it to Congress for approval, the great United States must make these bold and despicable Japanese pay the heaviest price as quickly as possible." After a pause, Roosevelt roared angrily: "Organize a press conference immediately, I must tell the American people this sad and angry news as soon as possible."
Let everyone know that the Japanese are despicable and shameless, let everyone know that the great United States has encountered unprecedented humiliation, and I want everyone to know that we can no longer hope to be alone, the war has burned to the United States, and we have no way to hide! ”
Roosevelt's anger had reached its peak, and he was eager to declare war on the Japanese now, but the formal declaration of war on Japan according to the procedure would also require the approval of the Parliament, which would not approve the proposal until at least the next day, December 26. Roosevelt, however, could not wait, and he was going to hold a press conference in the name of the president. He wants all Americans to know that although he is disabled, he will also express his tough stance in the face of the enemy's shameless sneak attack.
He will definitely make the Japanese who attacked the United States pay the heaviest price just as he led the United States out of the economic crisis and made the United States the world's largest industrial power. "Yes, Mr. President!" Hull put on his glasses, bowed slightly to Roosevelt, and walked out briskly with a murderous face. Two hours later, the White House held an unprecedented press conference, which was held suddenly and urgently, but with Roosevelt's unprecedented prestige, the news spread and various newspapers and media flocked to it.
In just two hours, not only did all the mainstream media reporters in Washington show up, but even the small newspapers that didn't make it into the stream broke their heads and squeezed in. The White House press room was packed, and hundreds of reporters chattered and privately discussed, wondering why President Roosevelt would hold such a press conference on such a personal scale in such an urgent and personal capacity
"Hey, Pete, you're so early! Today's press conference was quite a surprise! "Yes, this is the first time that President Roosevelt has held a press conference in his personal capacity! Presumably, the news content will be very different! "Well, that's how it should be! Do you know any inside information? "Not really! I think maybe Mr. President caused some peachy news in the White House, right? "You're so funny, how could Mr. President do such a thing! I always think that Mr. President might say something about the Lend-Lease Act or something! ”
"I think I also think that Mr. President has publicly stated more than once that the United States should be more actively involved in international affairs and put aside isolationism!" "Hey, that's not necessary, we're doing well in the Americas, it's better to be less involved in war and trouble!" "yes, I've always thought so! America is a peaceful, democratic, happy country that should not be dragged down by war and hatred! "It's no wonder that these reporters are gossiping and excited, because there has never been a U.S. president in U.S. history who has held a press conference in his own name.
While everyone was talking, Harry Hopkins, Roosevelt's close friend and senior aide, pushed President Roosevelt out from behind the backdrop wall in the press conference hall. The lively and boiling press conference scene was quiet all of a sudden, and all the reporters picked up their cameras, began to choose the shooting angle, and clicked and shot. Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and picked up the microphone, and after scanning it with extremely serious eyes, he said directly without superfluous opening remarks or superfluous embellishments:
"Distinguished gentlemen, distinguished ladies, today I convene a press conference in my personal capacity for the sole purpose of announcing to you an outrageous and humiliating news. At 7:10 a.m. on December 25, 1940, the Hawaiian Islands of the United States of America were subjected to a sudden, deliberate, despicable attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force. The despicable and shameless Japanese have declared war without declaring war, the Pacific Fleet of the United States of America has been completely annihilated, and the United States of America has suffered unprecedented humiliation and heavy losses! ”
"What? The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? "Ah, the Pacific Fleet is completely annihilated?" "Mr. President, could you please say that again?" "Isn't that really a joke?"
A few seconds ago, the American reporters were still sitting on the sofa eating melon seeds and watching the excitement, but Roosevelt got to the point without any foreplay, telling them that the United States had been attacked by Japan, and the entire Pacific Fleet was finished! The venue exploded at once, and all the American reporters could not calm down, looking at Roosevelt with wide eyes, shouting and shouting, and the order of the scene became extremely chaotic. The American reporters present were all looking forward to the next moment, when Roosevelt himself told them that he had just made an unfunny joke.
But Roosevelt did not meet their demands, controlled the atmosphere with his hands, and then said in a serious and serious voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard it right, the great United States of America has really been attacked by the Japanese!"
I regret to inform you that the Japanese army's attack on the Hawaiian Islands not only resulted in the total annihilation of the Pacific Fleet, but also caused serious damage to the US Navy and Army units, and tens of thousands of Americans lost their lives.
In addition, it was reported that American ships were torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu (Honolulu). "Yesterday the United States and Japan were at peace and are continuing to hold talks with their Government and the Emperor at Japan's request with a view to maintaining peace in the Pacific. In fact, just two hours before the Japanese Air Force squadron had already begun bombing the United States island of Wahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States also submitted to our Secretary of State an official reply to the recent letter from the United States to the Japanese side.
But just an hour and a half later, the Japanese brazenly launched a well-planned and long-planned sneak attack on the Hawaiian horde! "Ladies and gentlemen, hostilities are already there. Needless to say, our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have instructed that all measures be taken for the sake of our defence, and the nature of this attack against us will always be remembered by our entire nation. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, please always remember this day of shame, December 25, 1940!" "Believe in our armed forces - relying on the unwavering determination of our people - we will achieve the inevitable victory, may God help us! I ask Congress to declare that there has been a state of war between the United States and the Empire of Japan since the unprovoked and despicable Japanese attack on Sunday, December 7, 1941. ”
Roosevelt's angry roar rang out, every word and sentence like a machine-gun bullet hitting the heart of everyone in the press conference hall, and hundreds of reporters pressed the shutter without saying a word to record every word Roosevelt said. The anger in everyone's hearts was ignited, although these reporters could not take up their weapons and charge into battle to collect the blood debt from the Japanese, but they could use paper and pen to wake up the people of the Republic of China and those officials and gentlemen who were greedy for pleasure.
It is believed that as soon as the press conference is over, the radio broadcasts and newspapers throughout the United States will immediately release the news that the United States is about to declare war on Japan to the whole world, and this will certainly arouse the full support of the people of the United States. After the press conference, Hopkins pushed Roosevelt out of the press room and all the way to a conference room.
At this time, more than a dozen military and political dignitaries, including Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Secretary of the Army Henry Stimson, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, and Chief of the Army General Staff Marshall, were already waiting for him. As soon as Roosevelt entered the conference room, Hull and other military and political dignitaries stood up one after another to pay their respects. Roosevelt led the United States out of the Great Depression, freed Americans from panic, hunger, and death, and his prestige can be said to be skyrocketing. It was also because of this that Roosevelt broke through the obstacles of the U.S. Constitution and was able to serve four consecutive terms, becoming the longest-serving president in U.S. history!
"Gentlemen, I don't want to listen to superfluous explanations and nonsense, the meeting gets straight to the point." Arriving at the conference table, Roosevelt waved at the crowd, then turned to Secretary of War Henry Stimson and asked, "General Stimson, how is the situation in Hawaii now?" Although Roosevelt had suffered heavy losses at Pearl Harbor and the entire Pacific Fleet was almost wiped out, a few hours had passed, and he wanted to know more about the battle damage!
As soon as Roosevelt's voice fell, everyone in the room looked at Stimson, and everyone's eyes flashed with extremely complicated eyes. In fact, they had already known about the terrible situation before that, but they were very worried that Roosevelt would not be able to stand it if they spoke about it! Stimson took a deep breath and said in an extremely low tone: "Mr. President, the seriousness of the matter is beyond all of our expectations!" ”
"General Stimson, something has happened, no matter how serious it is, it is an unavoidable fact. Speak out boldly, the great America is not afraid of any pain or evil! ”
Roosevelt seemed to have a premonition of something, but his tone remained calm and steady. "Yes, Mr. President." Stimson nodded slightly, and said in a heavy tone: "Mr. President, the appetite of the Japanese has exceeded our expectations, and this despicable and shameless sneak attack that they have planned with all their hearts and minds is not only to destroy the American Pacific Fleet, but also to send a large number of landing troops to capture the Hawaiian Islands
Just half an hour ago, the main island of Hawaii completely gave up resistance, and all the garrisons on the island had laid down their arms, that is, the main island of Hawaii had fallen. "What?" Roosevelt's pupils constricted, stared at Stimson and asked again, "You just said that the Japanese have occupied the main island of Hawaii?" ”
Stimson nodded, "Yes, Mr. President, the Japanese have already occupied the main island of Hawaii, and Oahu is now in extreme danger, and I am afraid that it will fall soon!" "Oh, Fack! Without Hawaii, the U.S. Navy would have no choice but to retreat to California, 3,500 kilometers? ”
Roosevelt couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, then looked at Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and asked, "Knox, what about the Pacific Fleet?" Knox sighed: "Mr. President, the three aircraft carriers Enterprise, Lexington, and Saratoga, nine battleships including Pennsylvania, California, Maryland, and Oklahoma, as well as all the cruisers, destroyers, and submarines anchored in Pearl Harbor were all sunk, and none of them survived. In addition, more than 400 combat aircraft were destroyed, and the military power of the entire Hawaiian Islands was devastated! ”
