Vol 3 Chapter 285: Burning Pearl Harbor

Chapter 285 Burning Pearl Harbor
In the battle room of the aircraft carrier Dachu, Lieutenant General Ge Cunsheng was anxiously waiting for the results of the two 'Sea Eagle' high-speed and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft dispatched to investigate Pearl Harbor.
According to the plan, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese special task force was mainly after the first wave of Japanese air strike aircraft completed the first wave of air attack on Pearl Harbor, using the advantages of Chinese aircraft in altitude and speed to level from high altitude. bombing. Compared to the level of mid-to-high altitude bombing in the United States, Japan, Germany and other countries, the bombing technology of the People's Army Air Force and the corresponding airborne equipment required for level bombing are much more advanced.
Although the dive bombing is effective, in addition to being easily exposed to the eyes of the Japanese and Americans, the war damage ratio is really high. If countries are still at the original level of World War II, it is better now. With the original level of development in history, air defense firepower has also been greatly improved.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng has always focused on training horizontal bombing techniques at medium and high altitudes. The hit rate is slightly lower. It is okay. After being equipped with several instruments that can improve the horizontal bombing effect, when there are enough planes, it is better to dive than to dive Air defense firepower is strong.
The entire 'Yellow Sparrow' plan has been fully demonstrated, each step is rigorous, and even enough incidents have been considered.
The aircraft carrier Yangtze River Changchu raised his wrists and looked at the time, and frowned. "Lieutenant General, according to the plan, the first wave of attack aircraft was less than 30 minutes from Oahu. From the Japanese attack plan, this In time, Pearl Harbor should have been attacked, and the Seahawk reconnaissance aircraft should be fruitful. "
"Wait a second." Standing in front of the huge topographical map of Pearl Harbor, Ge Cunsheng said resolutely.
According to the 'Yellow Sparrow' plan, the first wave of attack by the Chinese special task force must be carried out after the Sea Eagle high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft returns sufficient good information to launch the attack. Otherwise, even if it is only ten minutes away from Pearl Harbor, the first wave of fleets can only find a sea to drop the bomb and return to the sea.
This good intelligence must be before the arrival of China ’s first wave of aircraft. The Japanese have launched a raid and successfully attacked the defense system of Pearl Harbor. In addition to some Japanese fighters that suppressed the battlefield, other first waves of attack Only when the fleet has returned to the sea, it is considered good enough.
Otherwise, rushing forward, even if it is the so-called "help", may cause Sino-Japanese planes to fight over Pearl Harbor. At that time, the world's biggest joke would be the battle of hundreds of planes.
Therefore, in the Canary plan, this wave of horizontal bombing must be carried out under absolute security. If conditions are not allowed, the fleet will even take the initiative to return to the sea. After all, the Chinese attack fleet with radar early warning aircraft is compared with the Japanese The fleet must have a great advantage. At least, depending on the speed of the fleet, it can quickly avoid when it discovers the large Japanese fleet in advance. As for the small Japanese aircraft that may be encountered, they were shot down directly.
The Seahawk high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft is a new aircraft that completed its second test flight at the beginning of the year. When the Canary plan was just established, it was not even equipped in the army. In the following months, the aircraft completed the final commissioning on the naval aircraft carrier, successfully took off and landed on the aircraft carrier, and completed the scheduled reconnaissance mission.
Previously, the reconnaissance aircraft used by the People's Army were simply converted from high-speed fighters and lacked sufficient capabilities to perform front-line reconnaissance. Faced with the approaching full-scale World War II, Zhang Shusheng found that it was not just the People ’s Army Air Force, but also the navy aviation and the Army urgently needed a front-line reconnaissance aircraft.
Its design requirements are that it must be able to climb to an altitude of 15,000 meters in 5 minutes and maintain a maximum flying speed of 800 kilometers.
Moreover, as an aircraft designed for frontline reconnaissance, in addition to high-altitude and high-speed, it must also be equipped with efficient ground-based photographic reconnaissance equipment.
Among the existing aircraft, the J-2 fighter and the J-3 fighter have been improved many times, especially after the newer Kunlun engine has been replaced, and the flight speed has been greatly improved compared to the beginning of finalization. Among them, the maximum level flight speed of the J-2 fighter was increased to 650 kilometers, which was close to the speed of the prototype J-3 fighter. The J-3 fighter, which had a speed of only 620 kilometers at the beginning, improved to 770 kilometers per hour after improving and replacing the engine and strengthening the fuselage, which has surpassed the 47 Thunderbolt fighter that the Americans just equipped. In terms of the maximum level flight speed of 690 kilometers per hour at a height of 9000 meters, a lightning fighter is certainly unable to catch up with the J-3 fighter.
What Haiying high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft needs is a prototype with mature structure, sturdy and reliable, especially at high altitude and high speed.
As a result, the J-3 fighter became a modified template again.
By removing all the weapons, removing some of the armor at key locations, moderately modifying the structure of the model, and finally installing the J-3 high-altitude reconnaissance type of the "Eye of the Sea Eagle" high-altitude camera system, it is completely new.
The maximum level flight speed at 10,000 meters has been increased to 810 kilometers per hour, and it has been able to laugh at the world, even if it did not fight back. At present, no aircraft other than China can catch it in the air.
Shortly after the Special Operations Fleet had taken off the first wave of attack aircraft, over 10,000 meters above Oahu less than ten kilometers, two seahawk high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft similar to the J-3 fighter were rapidly moving. Approaching over Oahu.
"Aircraft 02 is in front of Oahu. Our aircraft has turned on the panoramic infrared camera and the front range camera, and is preparing to lower the altitude for reconnaissance on the battlefield."
The two seahawk reconnaissance aircraft that were used for the Oahu reconnaissance. The 01 aircraft was mainly responsible for taking pictures of the battlefield. The airborne aerial reconnaissance over the battlefield was different. The 02 aircraft was not equipped with sophisticated camera equipment like the 01 aircraft. High-altitude infrared panoramic camera, it only needs to assist 01 camera in the photo-taking through the clouds at high altitude.
Its actual mission is to carry an air-to-air and ground-to-ground search radar with a range of 30 kilometers. The purpose of transforming it is to cooperate with aircraft No. 1 and perform battlefield search and alert.
Just 2 minutes ago, on the radar oscilloscope of aircraft 02, a large number of dense aircraft signals had been seen.
"Received 02, I have turned on the infrared panoramic camera. I confirmed the target again, and the radar characteristics are in line with the characteristics of Japanese aircraft carrier-type aircraft, Aichi bomber and Nakajima attack aircraft. The number of Japanese aircraft is between 220-290. ., 01 aircraft, 5 km in front of you, there is a team of Japanese aircraft at an altitude of about 3500 meters, the others are more than 10 kilometers away from you, it is recommended to reconnaissance at an altitude of 5000 meters, I wish you good luck. "
"understand."
After receiving a reply from the radar-loaded 02 aircraft, Lieutenant Liang Zhikai, pilot of the front cabin of aircraft 01, confirmed the report of the rear cabin camera crew about the normal operation of the camera equipment, and then began to decelerate. After the aircraft speed dropped below a safe value, , And then quickly lowered the altitude with a large dive angle.
During a violent bump, the altitude of the aircraft decreased rapidly. Soon, as the value on the altitude indicator continuously changed and decreased, from time to time, the altitude of the 01 Seahawk reconnaissance aircraft finally dropped to an altitude of 5,500 meters.
"Number 01, there are a large number of aircraft at a height of 3 kilometers in front of you. They are still rapidly lowering their altitude and are expected to launch an assault immediately. Time and their scheduled combat time are only less than 2 minutes." The information was quickly reported to aircraft 01 via the onboard radio.
Liang Zhikai thought a little, and replied, "The Japanese air strike is about to begin. I want to pass over Oahu at high speed to detect the situation on the battlefield."
"Understand, good luck," Unit 02 replied.
Because, just five minutes ago, they had received a notification from the Chinese special task force, and the first wave of attack aircraft was less than 40 minutes away from Oahu. According to the plan, the special attack fleet's attack fleet is to fight a time difference, the first wave of the fleet to basically avoid the Japanese army's first wave of fleet, only 15 minutes of attack time. Although, compared with the Japanese aircraft, the air attack time is also short (for absolute security, the Japanese army ’s single voyage exceeds 1 hour, and the overall aircraft flight time is shorter.) These 15 minutes are not too short. After all, the Chinese aircraft group It only requires horizontal bombing or secondary horizontal bombardment of ports, oil depots, aircraft maintenance plants, airport runways, etc. It does not require dives to fight.
After the centralized reconstruction, it is equipped with the second-generation 'Songshan' horizontal bombing system. Its aiming system part includes a simple mechanical computer for calculating the impact point, a telescope eyepiece, and a high jīng degree automatic for stabilizing the Songshan system. Gyro level stabilization system.
In the test, the bomber equipped with the Songshan horizontal bomber targeting system has a horizontal bombing effect on warships, ports, barracks and other large buildings, although it is not as amazing as a dive bomber, but it has been very satisfactory.
In this 15-20 minute time difference, the Americans were completely snoring and there was no fighting back. They would never have thought that the Japanese aircraft fleet had just left, and a second nonstop flight from China arrived. Of course, if they try to resist the attacking aircraft at high altitudes, Chinese fighters will be polite to destroy them, and even the pilots will be killed together.
Liang Zhikai quickly lowered his altitude. Today's weather is not bad. At an altitude of 5000 meters, he can finally see the island of Oahu in front of him.
In his field of vision, he saw densely packed Japanese planes, more than 200 planes, almost covering the sky over Pearl Harbor.
From previous intelligence, Liang Zhikai knew that this was the first wave of combat aircraft taken off by 11 Japanese carriers. It seems that there are a lot of numbers. In fact, the other party mainly has to defend the American Pacific Fleet with up to nine aircraft carriers and hundreds of carrier-based aircraft.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft group has collectively lowered its altitude and started a dive attack. Even Japanese fighters have joined the ranks of low-altitude airport runways to kill ports and navies.
"Aircraft 01, about 50 Japanese planes left the formation. They are flying far away, probably in search of other American aircraft carriers."
Looking at Pearl Harbor from a high altitude, Liang Zhikai did not know how many aircraft carriers, battleships, or other warships were in the harbor until he flew over the Japanese aircraft and Pearl Harbor's head at a high altitude and high speed. At that moment, he could clearly see There are actually only three aircraft carriers in the port, two carriers, and one large and medium-sized carrier with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons.
The characteristics of the aircraft carrier are really easy to recognize. The long deck, from a height of five kilometers, with specially trained Liang Zhikai, can even see the U.S. carrier aircraft parked on it, and those who see unidentified aircraft flying to the port. After speaking, either panic or overwhelmed US soldiers.
It is very surprising that Liang Zhikai's plane flew from an altitude of 5,000 meters, and he did not encounter a Japanese plane, even when he turned and flew back again, he did not encounter a Japanese plane. The Japanese apparently searched for mid-to-high altitudes and did not find any US aircraft at all, and such a fast-flying aircraft at mid-to-high altitudes was not even noticed. Of course, even if a Japanese machine suddenly climbs to a height of more than 5,000 meters, or if machine 01 may be found, machine 02 can also provide early warning, and machine 01 can climb quickly. However, at this time, the Japanese machine was busy harvesting the US military's ports, and looking for whether there were other US military aircraft carriers near the ports, which could not be considered other.
After all, at this time, with the exception of the six aircraft carriers that were lucky enough to leave for training early in the morning, the other US troops were still preparing breakfast.
Looking out of the glass window of the aircraft from a large angle of view, Liang Zhikai saw the Japanese aircraft in front fluttering frantically towards Pearl Harbor, and the lowest aircraft flying might even be only a few dozen meters high.
"boom……"
Even in the air, Liang Zhikai still heard the first huge explosion.
The torpedo was directly dropped into the port by Japanese Nakajima attack aircraft, and this modified torpedo with wooden propellers easily penetrated into the cruiser's waterline position docked in the port, and coincidentally detonated the magazine.
Soon, Liang Zhikai saw a more hot bombing scene. The Japanese machine devoured US warships, soldiers, airport runways, radar stations, etc. like locusts.
Under his field of view, a U.S. ship was hit by a torpedo or an aerial armor-piercing bomb, blasting through the skies, soaring flames, and crazy machine gun sweeps from low-altitude planes, and the entire Pearl Harbor was surrounded by US officers , And the Americans responded with almost no ...
Seeing this lively scene, and seeing a ship belonging to the US Pacific Fleet being hit, exploding, and catching fire, Liang Zhikai tuned the radio to the communication channel with the special-purpose fleet, reporting: "Seabird 1 reported, The praying mantis started to act on time. At present, the results are brilliant. There are three US aircraft carriers, one large aircraft carrier, two aircraft carriers, and countless other ships including battleships. The port is being bombed by Japanese aircraft. "
Just a few minutes ago, Pearl Harbor, the Supreme Command of the United States Army Pearl Harbor, General Kimmel's office.
Admiral Kimmel pushed open the third-floor office window facing Pearl Harbor, from which he could see most of the ships docked in the port.
"What a beautiful morning, these majestic warships are the strongest force of the great America to gallop across the Pacific." After routinely patrolling the port every day, Admiral Kimmel will always return to the office and look at the port, seeing so many majestic every time He could not help but admire the mighty battleship docked in the port.
Although two aircraft carriers are returning from the Hawaiian Island to Pearl Harbor to transport fighter planes, the other four aircraft carriers are forming an aircraft carrier formation, and they take off and land in the morning strong sea breeze on the sea dozens of miles away. The aircraft carriers left in the port are only three.
However, even without the dozen or so warships, Pearl Harbor's number of warships is still so huge and still full of American-style power. If it weren't for the situation and some of the ships and planes were relocated to the Atlantic Ocean, Pearl Harbor would only be stronger, because this is the bridgehead for the Pacific rule of the United States and the seat of Pacific Fleet Command.
In the distance, the rising sun just reached the high position of the aircraft carrier island. Admiring the sun, Admiral Kimmel was immersed in the beautiful morning scene of the naval port.
"Well? What a beautiful scene, if only a camera could take it."
At this moment, Admiral Kimmel saw that in the direction of the sun, an airplane seemed to jump out of the sun. The surrounding fuselage was reflected in golden with a golden halo, and it flew towards the port. .
As he was about to turn around to look for the camera, more planes suddenly appeared in the sun's unglamorous light, and there were also a lot of planes on the left and right sides of the sun.
For more and more airplanes, Admiral Kimmel suddenly had a bad feeling. He picked up a telescope with a solar filter attached to the window, and looked at the planes facing away from the sun. .
"God……"
Admiral King Moore just looked at it and felt his body was cold. At that moment, he even stopped thinking.
From the telescope, he saw a sun flag printed on the wing or belly.
When he saw these huge numbers of planes printed with the sun flag uniformly, he couldn't even think about it. However, he knew that the sun flag should never appear in Pearl Harbor.
That only meant one thing: a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
"The Japanese are attacking Pearl Harbor ..."
Admiral Kimmel felt his legs a little soft, saw the overwhelming plane, imagined the possible horror consequences, he even temporarily lost the strength to walk, and had to struggle to walk back to the table, he tried to pick up the one Call the Pacific Fleet Commander General Melkin, or the US Navy, or even the Washington White House.
However, just when he was about to pick up the phone, the phone rang.
"General, we were attacked. It was Japanese. They attacked us frantically."
From the microphone came the hissing roar of not knowing which unit came from which staff or officer, and of course, the rumbling explosion.
Admiral King Moore also heard a violent explosion, ringing densely across the harbor and across Oahu.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed. "Immediately report to Washington that we were attacked by the despicable Japanese attack and suffered heavy losses. The war has broken out. This is not an exercise."
Ten minutes later, the White House.
The president's office was smashed open, without even knocking when Roosevelt saw the incoming Navy Secretary Admiral Knox panicked, waving a clear telegram in his hand, "Mr. President, the Japanese ... "
Roosevelt tightened his heart, holding back the huge sense of crisis, and asked first, "Is it the Philippines?"
"No, not the Philippines, Mr. President, Pearl Harbor. The Japanese sent hundreds of aircraft to attack Pearl Harbor ..."
When I heard the words Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt felt dark for a while ...
Hundreds of kilometers away in the Pacific Ocean, the aircraft carrier Dachu, the special mixed fleet command cabin.
"General, the reconnaissance aircraft No. 01 reported that the Japanese launched a surprise attack on time, and the US military suffered heavy losses."
A combat staffer shouted loudly with unprecedented excitement, waving the information-recorded documents in his hands, and then Ge Cunsheng had not spoken yet, and many office cabins had heard a neat "Long live ..." sound.
Because it means ...
Ge Cunsheng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled, and said, "Very well, order. According to the guidance of the Sea Eagle reconnaissance aircraft, the first wave of aircraft groups launched a horizontal bombing of Pearl Harbor in accordance with the original plan. Remember, you must take action. Every minute counts. "
...
The first wave of sneak attack aircraft of the Chinese special task force mainly consisted of a command aircraft, an electronic jammer, a radar early warning aircraft, and 60 carrier-based fighter aircraft. In order to meet the operational requirements, the carrier aircraft of the two aircraft carriers Dachu and Dayan have been modified or upgraded from other aircraft carriers. The operations can be outstanding and they have been specially upgraded for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Yes, I see." Colonel Wu Cunxiao, commander of the assault aircraft group and commander of the 3rd Division of the Naval Air Force, finally awaited the command of attack from the radio headset.
His plane is an air command aircraft modified from the -3 type ~ EbookFREE.me ~ not far behind is the commando radar early warning aircraft.
"Tianji 25, Haiying 2, report the air situation nearby." Wu Cunxiao asked about the air situation of Haiying 2 and Tianji aerial radar early warning aircraft numbered Tianyi 25.
"Everything is normal over Pearl Harbor. The Japanese plane has begun to return. The remaining Japanese planes over Oahu are rapidly decreasing. After the US military was attacked, it has not organized a counterattack." Seahawk 02 quickly reported to Oahu. The situation over the island.
The Teana radar early warning aircraft also reported: "In 100 kilometers of airspace, there are only scattered Japanese aircraft and five emergency takeoffs to try to chase Japanese aircraft."
"Understand." Wu Cunxiao finally couldn't help but smiled. Immediately, the next 15 minutes was the performance time of the Chinese Air Force. At this time, the Japanese machine retreated, and the second wave of Japanese machine was still 15 minutes to 20 minutes, but the Americans had not even breathed, and they were about to greet a more violent bombing from China.
Adjusting the radio channel, Wu Cunxiao confronted the integrated channel of the assault group and began to order: "All speed up, two minutes later, the horizontal bombing will begin!
