At more than four o'clock in the morning, a round of red sun in the eastern sky jumped out of the sea level, sprinkling ten thousand golden rays of light onto the earth, dispelling all the remaining darkness! Nojima ordered his subordinates to send a telegram "everything is normal" to the duty room of the East Coast Defense Command of the US Navy, as is customary at the radar station on Guadalupe Island, and then walked out of the radar station.
"A new day is here again, what a beautiful sunrise, such a beautiful view, such a warm sea breeze!" Looking up at the red sun in the sky in the distance and feeling the moist sea breeze blowing on their faces, the people of Nojima were extremely comfortable, and for the first time in their lives, they felt that the sunrise over the sea could be so beautiful.
It didn't take long for him to squint his eyes and feel it, and the roar of aircraft engines sounded in the ears of Nojima Rikuto. Nojima Rikuto immediately turned his head to look, and he was shocked to find that in the dawn of dawn, the black-pressed Imperial aircraft group had just broken through a huge dark cloud and appeared in the blue sky above him. Nojima Rikuto suddenly became excited, climbed onto a big rock, and solemnly raised his hand to salute the troops.
At this moment, a sacred and stirring emotion rose in his heart, and although the Imperial pilots in the sky could not see themselves on the ground, he felt that he had to do this.
"Onboard! Onboard! "Great Japanese Empire onboard!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
At the same time, the devils on the island also heard the movement from the sky, and ran out of various sentry posts, barracks, and hiding places, waving their hats at the group of planes that were passing quickly in the sky! At about six o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright on the west coast of the United States, and the sun had risen in mid-air, illuminating the sky and the earth with thousands of rays of light.
The sun is sunny and the sky is cloudless, and today is another sunny and warm day. U.S. Navy West Coast Defense Command. "Ahh A cold wind blew outside the window, and Elliott, Private of the Los Angeles Defense District, felt a chill and couldn't help but sneeze loudly! "Damn it, where did the cold wind come from!"
Elliott yelled, ripped a small piece of paper off the table, wiped her choking snot and tears, and threw the toilet paper in the trash!
Glancing down at my watch, I saw that there were only about ten minutes left before the shift change. "Damn work, it's boring!" Elliott rubbed his dry eyes and stared at the radar screen all night, still not finding anything out of the ordinary. Elliott just felt like she was busy again!
Since being drafted into the U.S. Marine Corps to serve in the Los Angeles Defense District, Elliott's job has been to stare at radar screens every day. Indeed, it was a repetitive and boring job that had long since made Elliott extremely boring. "Oh, it's finally dawn, and it's time to go on a date with the beautiful Gladyse again this afternoon!"
As the boring work is about to end, and she can go back to catch up on the sleep and spend a pleasant afternoon with her new girlfriend, Elliott is in a better mood. As for how to pass the remaining ten minutes of garbage time, Elliott was particularly experienced, stood up and whistled, picked up the coffee cup on the table and walked happily to the coffee machine.
After brewing the coffee and taking a few sips, Elliott walked back to the radar screen with the coffee cup, ready to take another casual glance, and then wrote "Everything is normal!" on the duty record. "But that's what went wrong with this last glance." Even, Fack, hell! This is a fleet of planes that came out of nowhere! "Oh, Shet! The plane of the Japanese devils is coming! "Bang dang!"
Just over a minute ago, countless small black dots suddenly appeared on the radar screen, which was still blank, and they were moving rapidly. Elliott's eyes froze for a moment, and the coffee cup in his hand snapped to the ground, shattering into pieces. "Enemy attack!" In Elliott's mind, these two words popped up, the group of enemy planes flying at this time could only be Japanese! "Even, God, how can this be!"
The sudden danger caused Elliott's brain to go blank for a short time, and he had been complaining about the boredom and futility, and he deeply realized how hypocritical and stupid his former self was!
A moment later, Elliott jumped out as if she had been electrocuted, and threw herself next to the telephone as fast as she could, shaking the handle of the phone with all her might. It took a full two minutes for Elliott to connect to the Los Angeles Defense District duty room. However, an impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, and asked extremely angrily: "This is the duty room of the Los Angeles Defense District, what is the matter with the early morning call?" ”
Elliott didn't know who the other party was, and he couldn't care what rank the other party was, so he shouted into the microphone: "I'm Elliott, the radar watchman, First Class, report the enemy!" The radar has detected a large number of enemy planes, which are rushing in the direction of Los Angeles! "Repeat, report the enemy situation, the radar has detected a large number of enemy aircraft coming in the direction of Los Angeles!" , enemy planes, a large number of enemy planes, innumerable ,......"
At 6:10 a.m., a huge group of hundreds of fighters and bombers of the Air Wing commanded by Toru Nishida had already flown over the land line of the west coast of the United States.
It is only a dozen minutes away from Los Angeles, the target of the air strike. The red sun overhead was as bright and beautiful as the flag of the rising sun of the Japanese Empire, which made Toru Nishida full of fascination and excitement! So far, the Air Force's assault on Los Angeles has gone very well, and a huge fleet of aircraft has entered the continental United States.
However, not a single US fighter plane has yet been found to intercept it, which is undoubtedly a sure victory in Nishida's view, and Los Angeles is already in danger! And Los Angeles, which is adjacent to the high-rise buildings in the distance, in the eyes of Toru Nishida, has become a flower girl who is not full of extreme temptation, and it is the kind that does not have a wisp of defense, without any defense and resistance.
"Attention formations, lift the radio silence! Bomber formation, enter the bombing channel, escort the fighter formation, immediately climb in height, ready to meet the American fighters! Toru Nishida's eyes were full of greed and blood, and he drove the car with all his might, and rushed to the front of the line.
If a U.S. fighter plane comes to intercept it, he will use machine guns to smash the opponent to pieces, and if there is still no obstruction when he arrives at the place, then he will dump all the ammunition he carries on the ground target and shoot every Yankee he sees!
Toru Nishida was full of pride, excitedly waiting for the final moment, and at the same time couldn't help but be full of sincere admiration for Yamamoto. The fleet had been running for five days and five nights, and the huge fleet of Imperial planes had penetrated deep into the United States, but it seemed that the Americans had not yet discovered it, or at least had not yet made any effective response. Such a rigorous and thorough air raid operation plan on the US mainland, such a successful implementation steps and results, I have to say that it is an extremely perfect air raid campaign!
"Oh, Shet!" "Hell, where did you get so many planes?" "Oh God, you must be kidding!" "Fack, is this Pearl Harbor?" "A bunch of idiots! Are all radar stations blind? "Oh my God, that's not true!"
The huge fleet of planes swept over the land line of the west coast of the United States, passing through the US military defense areas, and the roar of thunderous motors was like a group of devils screaming in the air. At this time, even if you don't use radar, you can clearly hear and see the dark clouds overhead with your ears and naked eyes.
When the American soldiers and American civilians ran out of the barracks and houses, they could only look at the Japanese aircraft group that had gone away in horror and despair, just like Elliott, and then, and then they couldn't do anything! Only a few mid-ranking officers rushed to the phone in a panic to report the desperately bad news.
"Oh, Shet! How so! I must be crazy! I'm such a stupid pig! Answering the report call, the officer on duty in the Los Angeles Defense District slapped himself on the cheek in despair, and was so regretful that he wanted to take out the pistol pinned to his waist and blow his head! However, when it was time to kick the door, the officer on duty realized that he did not have the courage to kill himself at all!
The Air Wing combat aircraft group finally flew to the city of Los Angeles. In Nishida's field of vision, the successive high-rise buildings in downtown Los Angeles are clearly visible. This big city on the west coast has woken up from its sleep. The city streets have become busy, and it is time for rush hour!
Countless traffic and people shuttle through the streets and alleys of the city, and everyone is busy rushing to their respective work points, or they are working hard. Little did they know that a group of bloodthirsty demons had already flown above their heads, about to spread death and fear on this beautiful, bustling seaside city!
"Yo Xi, you can finally show your strength!" The Japanese planes flew over Los Angeles, looking at the successive high-rise buildings and the endless traffic below, and Nishida's blood boiled and burned.
In his eyes, there is no mercy and mercy, let alone humanitarianism, there are just cruel bloodthirsty, and the one below is all bombing targets, and they are all a little star on the merit medal! "The air warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, under our wings, is Los Angeles, one of the largest seaside cities on the west coast of the United States, and one of the targets that must be destroyed in this air raid!
The weapons, vehicles, and planes that the city is constantly producing are flowing into the U.S. Army, the Chinese Army, and the Soviet, British, and other Allied forces! And these advanced American-style weapons and equipment are the main culprits that kill our compatriots and stop the empire's hegemony, so we must destroy this city cleanly and completely! ”
"Imperial air warriors, drop bombs to your heart's content, and let the Americans tremble and die in the sound of the explosion!" "Warriors of the Empire's air. For the sake of less bloodshed for your fellow citizens, for the sake of the future of the Empire, start the offensive and destroy everything you see until all the bombs are still gone, and all the bullets are gone! ”
"The Great Japanese Empire is invincible! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" "Great Japanese Empire onboard!"
With Toru Nishida's hissing shout on the formation communication channel, all the devil pilots went crazy and turned into groups of bloodthirsty murderers! One after another, Japanese bombers roared and pounced on ground targets. Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! "It didn't take long for heavy aerial bombs, with the screams of death, to smash viciously into the high-rise buildings on the ground and various factories and factories!
"Huh, what's going on?" "Is this a drill?" With such a large fleet of planes flying over the city, the citizens of Los Angeles naturally quickly discovered the situation, and many people stopped in curiosity and looked at the sky with puzzled faces.
The United States has enjoyed peace and comfort for too long, even if the whole world is now burned red by the flames of war, and large-scale wars are happening every day in the Asian, European, and African theaters. So, until now, the citizens of Los Angeles have not realized that disaster is about to befall them.
Because in their preconceived notions, the bombing of the homeland and the involvement of civilians in the war are the affairs of other countries, which are things that can only be found on the screen and in novels, and they don't care about their own affairs at all. However, the cold truth will not be transferred by the subjective consciousness of the individual.
Soon, the citizens of Los Angeles, who were curious to watch the sky, were horrified to find that countless black dots had fallen from the sky, and they were rapidly magnified in the retina!
Elliott was so frightened that he couldn't tell the exact location and number of enemy planes, he only knew that the matter was big, and a lot of Japanese enemy planes were flying in groups. All he knew was that he had to report this important news as soon as possible, so that the air force guarding Los Angeles could take off as soon as possible to defend the airspace over Los Angeles.
Otherwise, Los Angeles will be in big trouble, and it will be in great trouble! "What the fuck are you talking nonsense? I didn't wake up from a nightmare! Hearing Elliott's incoherent screams, the officer on duty in the Los Angeles Defense District thought that Elliott was hysterical, and immediately scolded:
"Bastard, the radar station on Guadalupe Island at the forefront, there is nothing abnormal, but you told me that countless enemy aircraft were found? Bastard, are you all shit in your head? "Bang dang!" The officer on duty in the Los Angeles Defense District hung up the phone in a huff. "Fack! You're a fool!
There was a busy tone on the phone, and Elliott was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, how could there be such a fool at this critical moment to delay time. "It's over, it's over!" Just as Elliott was about to continue on the phone, the rumbling of engines could be heard in the sky outside. The sound of the huge thunderous motor covers all the movement from far and near!
Elliott froze directly, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground with a click, even if he made a call at this time, it would be useless. Elliott knew that the tragedy of the Pearl Harbor attack would soon be repeated in Los Angeles, and although it was unlikely that it would be captured by the Japanese Army, the losses suffered would not be much less than the fall of the Hawaiian Islands!
Boom, one after another heavy bombs fell to the ground and blossomed, and thick plumes of smoke suddenly rose from the ground, mixed with black smoke and dark red flames.
Thick smoke rose over the city, and I don't know how many Japanese bombers were wantonly diving and dropping bombs, and even the dozens of stories of buildings were trembling in the sound of explosions. Fragments of buildings, fragments of human bodies shot out and scattered everywhere, earth-shattering explosions were heard endlessly, and huge waves of sound echoed in the air! In a short period of time, the whole of Los Angeles turned into a living hell, a ruined city ravaged by war!
The Los Angeles Defense Command has become a mess, and at this moment it already needs reports from radar stations in various places, and even standing in the headquarters building, one can hear a series of violent explosions. At the same time that Los Angeles was bombed by the Japanese army, San Francisco, Carson City, San Diego and other places on the west coast of the United States were also bombed on a large scale at the same time. After the Los Angeles city was suddenly hit by a large-scale air raid, the antiaircraft artillery units in the Los Angeles Defense Zone and the fighters at various airports reacted and began to counterattack the Japanese aircraft group in a hurry!
However, at this time, the opportunity has been lost, and the counterattack made by the US defense forces in Los Angeles is undoubtedly sluggish, scattered, and backward! As the roar of anti-aircraft guns rang out in all corners of the city, countless black smoke bloomed in the sky. "Your Excellency Nishida Osa, Squadron Okamoto requests to go into battle and destroy the US anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground!" "Your Excellency Nishida Daisa, Ono Squadron requests to fight!" "His Excellency Nishida Osa ,......"
The US ground antiaircraft artillery units began to counterattack, and black smoke clouds bloomed in the sky, which not only did not make the Japanese escort combat pilots feel frightened, but on the contrary, they were all like chicken blood, their eyes were red and shining, and they all strongly demanded to go into battle and destroy those pesky flies. "Yaga! A senseless and futile revolt! Toru Nishida drove the Zero fighter plane over the city, and he naturally saw the return fire of the anti-aircraft guns of the US ground forces.
"I order, Okamoto's squadron goes out to clean up the trouble on the ground! The rest of the escort formations, continue to be on high alert, our real opponents are US fighters, and by no means these nasty flies! Toru Nishida couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, in his eyes the Americans' counterattack was pale and ineffective, and it was just a decoration.
However, it is better to send a small part of the troops to move the muscles than to let all the fighters hover in the sky and consume fuel, after all, the anti-aircraft guns of the US army still pose a certain threat to the bombers. Soon, the US anti-aircraft artillery fire in Los Angeles was drowned in clouds of gunpowder under the fierce attack of Japanese fighters. More than ten minutes later, the bomber formation led by Toru Nishida did not return to the country one after another until they had dropped all the bombs and used up all the bullets.
And in just over ten minutes, half of Los Angeles turned into a sea of ruins and fire, hundreds of high-rise buildings and factories were completely destroyed, and thousands of civilians died in the bombing! The beautiful and rich modern seaside city has suffered unprecedented heavy losses and casualties. When the bomber formation began to return home, the US fighter group belatedly appeared in the sky over Los Angeles, which was filled with gunsmoke and flames.
"Yo Xi! Finally a job to do! Warriors of the Empire! Attention to all escort fighters, immediately throw away the auxiliary fuel tanks and meet the US fighter group! Let these white-skinned pigs know the power of the Imperial Air Warriors! Offensive! Seeing a large number of US fighter groups appear in the distance, Nishida Toru was not surprised, and his eyes flashed with a fiery desire to kill and bloodthirsty. Annihilate them all, and leave not one behind! ”
It was as if it had instantly turned into a fierce beast that had been hungry for several days, and when it saw the bloodthirsty impulse of fresh prey, it yelled at the communication channel and rushed over first! The reaction of the Americans was so slow that the bomber groups began to return home, and the American fighter groups appeared, and Toru Nishida, who did not have no worries, was ruthless to wipe out this wave of US Air Force before returning!
"Great Japanese Empire onboard!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" "Attack!" "Kill them all!"
The Japanese escort fighter pilots all showed extremely hideous faces, and they, like Toru Nishida, had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. In their eyes, the oncoming US Air Force is not an enemy, let alone a threat, but a flight medal.
After throwing away the auxiliary fuel tank, the Zero fighter, which was already very light, became as light as a swallow, and at a speed of more than 530 kilometers per hour, it pounced viciously like a pack of wolves pounced on its prey. Immediately, over Los Angeles, where smoke was billowing out, Japan and the United States launched an air battle with a huge disparity in strength. In a hurry to meet the flying US fighters, their counterattack appeared extremely weak and chaotic!
In particular, they faced the excellent performance of the Zero fighters and senior Japanese pilots, and the US fighter group, which was not superior in numbers, fell into a disadvantage from the very beginning of the engagement.
The clash of strength and power is always so simple and rude, and in less than ten minutes, Toru Nishida led the escort fighter group, and with a proud record of 2:21, the first wave of American fighters who came to take revenge were all annihilated. "Return now!" After killing four U.S. fighter jets in a row, and then looking down at Los Angeles with thick smoke and flames, Toru Nishida was finally satisfied.
In fact, the entire west coast of the United States has a very tight air defense system, and in this area there is not only a complete radar network, a large number of antiaircraft artillery units, but also a quarter of the air force of the United States, the purpose of which is to guard against a long-distance attack by the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, and then use carrier-based aircraft to carry out large-scale air strikes on the US mainland.
However, with the collapse of the Taiping Fleet, the United States lost its naval supremacy on the west coast and was completely in a state of passive defense. As for the Atlantic Fleet, which is not weak, it not only needs to escort sea routes and deal with the European and African theaters, but even if it is transferred to the west coast through the Panama Canal, there is no way to confront the powerful combined fleet of the Japanese Navy.
At about 8:30 a.m., the huge Japanese combat plane group had completed its bombing mission and escort and interception mission, and all the Japanese combat planes that had won a remarkable victory had returned home. There were only a few cities left in the thick of smoke and fire, and among the thick smoke and flames, and the ruins, there were scattered corpses, charred corpses, American soldiers and civilians in pain. Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Oakland, all of which are beautiful, rich, and peaceful seaside cities, are all wailing in pain!
