It turns out that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

In November last year, the British Mediterranean Fleet formed an assault force with the aircraft carrier Radiance as the core, and launched a surprise attack codenamed Judgment on the military port of Taranto with 21 professional broken legs for 30 years as the main force.

In just one hour, the Royal Navy achieved the great result of sinking one and damaging two battleships at the cost of two carrier-based aircraft.

As the so-called friendly army beat me ecstatically, when Obiying was still taking stock of the harvest with great interest, Yamamoto Shichihachi, who was far away in Japan, also began his own plan.

After all, an old-fashioned rag like the Swordfish can succeed, and there is no reason why its own 97 ship attack and 99 ship explosion cannot cause greater results.

After secretly deciding to raid, the old devil first ordered the liaison officer stationed in the local area to collect as detailed battle information as possible.

After integrating all the useful information at hand, he immediately arranged targeted training subjects for the Combined Fleet in Kagoshima, which is geographically very similar to Pearl Harbor.

It is precisely because of the above-mentioned precautions that there is a bumper harvest today.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

In a series of deafening explosions, five of the twelve ninety-one-two aviation torpedoes fired at the aircraft carrier Lexington hit her port side directly.

Don't look down on a 40 percent hit rate.

In reality, it is not a game of white hair, and even in the late stages of the war, it is a gasping offensive efficiency.

"Fire alarm!"

"Damage Management Team! Hurry up! ”

Although the sailors on Mrs. Lie were all experienced in battle, the five most advanced torpedoes of the current era were not so easy to carry.

Even though the damage management team tried their best to save themselves, a huge amount of seawater poured into the port side of the ship, and her body let out a painful cry in an instant.

The aircraft carrier, which has been in service for 14 years, is like a whale that has turned over, slowly moving and tilting its body to the bottom of the sea.

The soldiers trapped in various parts of the hull could only beat the walls around them in despair, trying to send a distress signal through the most primitive methods.

But now, there are no search and rescue teams.

The sudden attack caused the whole of Pearl Harbor to be in chaos, and no one could help at all.

For the next fifteen minutes, Mrs. Lie's sailors could only spend time under the dark water. Perhaps the cleaners who scrubbed the hull were the luckiest of all, after all, they could die without pain.

Compared with Lexington, who was brutally murdered, the situation of sister-in-law Saratoga is better.

In the battle just now, the aircraft carrier, marked with black lines, was attacked by nine torpedo planes of the Akagi, and a total of three 91-2 aviation torpedoes were hit.

Fortunately, the powerful American damage pipe quickly prevented the capsizing, but the hull still inevitably sank.

Maybe one day in the future, she will be salvaged and repaired by the Pacific Fleet, and embark on the road of revenge for her sister.

"Yo Xi! Everyone is very energetic! Just the first wave of attacks, managed to take out two aircraft carriers! If Yamamoto knew about this news, he would be very happy! ”

"Let's do it too! Fight to take out or damage a few more battleships! The country of locusts rises and falls! In this battle! ”

The person who is currently speaking is the captain of the torpedo plane of the Akagi and the commander-in-chief of the first wave of torpedo plane formation.

As an ace pilot of HNA, Shigeharu Murata naturally knows that the ugly country currently has only seven aircraft carriers.

Now, in the early days of the war, their combined fleet had killed two. It was Lexington and Saratoga, not Langley coal carriers and Borg-class escort carriers.

An unpretentious attack can form a situation of ten to five or even eleven to four on the battlefield in the future, how can this make the old devil unhappy.

"Hey!"

"Entering a combat position!"

After the conversation, more than a dozen 97 ships, led by their own captains, rushed towards Oklahoma and the West Virginia.

At this time, some of the ships and the soldiers of the ugly country in the port have entered the pre-set combat positions under the leadership of commanders at all levels.

"Hold your post!"

"Damn the Japanese! They are fighting without a declaration! ”

It's a pity that the fleet commander thinks that the constant alarms will only make the officers and men tired. As a result, the vast majority of the soldiers, with the exception of the fighters on duty, had a holiday on Saturday nights.

Especially those destroyers and cruisers, which were supposed to be responsible for the air defense of the fleet, were completely left without a combat crew.

What is even more exaggerated is that of the thirty air defense duty points in the port, only four are stationed with fighters on duty. Even then, they are not equipped with much ammunition.

In the sparse anti-aircraft fire network, the elite pilots of the Hainan Airlines were like light petrels, and they fired torpedoes at the intended target at almost no cost.

Five minutes later, the Oklahoma was the first to suffer.

She was hit by three 91-2 aviation torpedoes, and the ship's oil depot burst into flames, and then the heavy oil seeped out all over the surrounding sea.

The soldiers, who managed to escape from the ship, could only watch as they fell into the flames, and finally burned to ashes in despair.

The West Virginia, which is side by side, naturally ends up not much better.

Shot on the port side, she was engulfed in flames, and even the boiler exploded during the attack. If the damage management cannot act in time, the final outcome will inevitably be to die at the bottom of the sea.

After employing all the bombs he carried, Shigeharu Murata gave the order to return home in the communication channel.

"Gentlemen! Hurry back to the ship for rearmament! We still have thirty more torpedoes left unused! ”

"Don't forget to observe on the way back, Major General Yamaguchi is still waiting for everyone's intelligence, and by the way, we will choose suitable targets for the second and even third waves!"

"Hey!"

In fact, there were many problems with the first wave of attacks by Japanese naval torpedo planes.

Due to the geography of Pearl Harbor, they had only one suitable approach route. If flying over a building, the turbulent air flow can interfere with the accuracy of the release of the torpedo.

As a result, most of the 97 ship attacks could only enter from the southeast bay, resulting in the entire formation's offensive targets not being dispersed, and they were concentrated on Lexington, Saratoga, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.

The second is that there are some book pilots who recognize the wrong target in the process of attacking.

For example, there were several torpedo planes that mistook the battleship USS Utah for the flagship Pennsylvania. This is not even more outrageous, there are still a few small days to recognize Helena as a battleship.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, after all, looking down from a height of three thousand meters, no matter how large a surface ship is, it is a black straight line.

In short, the Japanese naval aviation did have problems in the first wave of the offensive. However, with a 48 percent accuracy rate, they took out two capital carriers, two battleships, and a number of cruiser expulsions.

Such a perfect answer will definitely make Yamaguchi Tashi laugh like a fool.

······

After the torpedo bombers left the battlefield, horizontal bombers led by Mitsuo Fuchida came to relay, and their mission was to destroy the inboard battleship, which was inaccessible by torpedoes:

Enterprise, California, Maryland, Tennessee, Arizona, and Nevada.

"Look! The dawn in the distance is like the flag of the rising sun of the navy of the younger country! We have already seen the sun on the horn of victory! ”

"Gentlemen! We can't afford to lose to our torpedo colleagues! It's dark and it's dark! Onboard! ”

With Fuchida's roar, dozens of 97 ships carrying special armor-piercing bombs attacked the Pacific Fleet and flew away.

Those anti-aircraft shells fired from the ground, as if they were salutes to welcome guests, could not affect the elite members of the book HNA in the slightest.

"Two degrees to the left, steady!"

"Ready! Put! ”

Although there is only one aircraft carrier left in the military port, the devil bombardier still seriously compares the photos.

After confirming that everything was correct, he released the armor-piercing aerial bomb converted from the Nagato main gun shell into the deck of the Enterprise.

The rest of the pilots, in groups of five, attacked the remaining battleships.

It turns out that the 1941 book HNA really has two brushes. Even with high-altitude horizontal bombing, they can achieve a hit rate of about 20 percent.

A few minutes later, the Maryland was the first to be hit with two shots.

However, one of the bombs had a problem with its delayed fuse, and only one of the bombs penetrated the deck and exploded in the engine room, successfully completing its mission.

The Tennessee ate three, but the damage was not serious.

Here's the big thing!

Just like in every Bright Sword fandom, the Sakata United team will be whipped by a new corpse, and the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is naturally indispensable to the martyrdom of Arizona.

An armor-piercing bomb hit her second turret directly and detonated the ammunition depot beneath it.

With a loud, muffled roar, the entire battleship was thrown out of the water. The huge main gun clamps, mixed with the mutilated limbs of the soldiers, were thrown high, and for a moment the entire military port was on fire.

The sea is full of charred corpses, and if there really is a hell in the world, it is undoubtedly the battleship street at this time.

With just one armor-piercing bomb, the Iron King VIII, which had 12 356 main guns, split in half, and the 1,000 soldiers on it were buried at the bottom of the sea.

The female stove god who was in charge of maintenance on the side was also hit hard.

The only surface ship that was slightly injured in this attack was the USS Enterprise. The bombs thrown at her either hit California on the sidelines, or they were duds with problematic delayed fuses.

This is probably the lucky E who is destined to single-handedly take on the entire IJN.

Looking at Pearl Harbor, a chaotic and wailing place, Halsey clenched his fists in anger. At this moment, the vice admiral only wants to take his aircraft carrier and avenge the dead comrades and the Pacific Fleet.

In the dark, a sentence seemed to ring in his head.

"You are the last hope of our army!" (End of chapter)
