Vol 3 Chapter 284: : Burning Pearl Harbor

Chapter 284: Burning Pearl Harbor
Washington, USA, December 5, 1942.
General Marshall, Chief of Staff of the Sixth Army, and Secretary of the Navy Knox are discussing with Roosevelt about the current complex situation at the White House.
"Secretary Knox, the German fleet hasn't been found yet?" Roosevelt pressed his hand on the wheelchair with a few fingers moving slightly imperceptibly. The recent situation has disturbed the US President.
If, before World War II, the United States watched the fire across the shore and continuously benefited from this fire, then today, ten or even dozens of information about Germans or Japanese might attack the United States in a day, It made him sleepy.
There has never been a moment when American rulers and people need to spend this kind of suffering.
Of course, as a nation's top leader, Roosevelt knew that, unless it was a full-scale war, the possibility of large-scale encroachment on the United States would be almost zero. Because, whether it is a German or a Japanese who sneaks into a coastal city in the United States, the damage that can be caused seems to be very large. In fact, the other party is not far from thousands or even thousands of miles. For the United States, it is not a fear. Those losses are far from unbearable for the United States.
However, once this transoceanic attack caused substantial damage to the United States, Roosevelt could foresee how serious the panic and anger of the American people would be at that time.
Even with the best results, the ruling party may face resignation.
Because the attack on the United States will be an unprecedented serious event.
"The British fleet has never found the Germans. Our carrier-based aircraft has extended the sea search range to nearly two thousand kilometers, and nothing has happened.
Moreover, from radio interception, the radio waves over the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean are currently very quiet and there are no abnormalities at all. However, it is possible that the enemy has adopted radio silence or changed the radio code. "
"The possibility that the Germans may take military action is very high, but currently they cannot find traces of their fleet. But the Japanese, just last week, organized thousands of naval officers and soldiers to visit Tokyo to study, their main ships Branches are also appearing one after another. The possibility of military action by the Japanese is small, and of course it may be in the Philippines. "Navy Secretary Norsk said with a frown, knowing that everything seemed normal at the moment, but in fact The intelligence about the German and Japanese military actions against the United States, but flying back home like an overwhelming overwhelming increase, is obviously the most abnormal.
In his opinion, the Germans are the biggest suspect.
"Is there really no present?" Roosevelt asked meaningfully, even if there was no real present, but it could not prove that the other party did not act.
Marshall: "His President, if the United States is attacked, it may be a good thing. The people will not abandon politics, but the people will need politics to lead the revenge of the United States. At that time, you may only need to stand up and make a shameful attack If the war is declared, then the responsibilities of the ruling party will be minimized. "
Roosevelt shook his head and sighed: ‘General Marshall, provided they only attack an island, or the Philippines, and other maritime territories. If they attack the homeland, maybe you can soon report to the next president of the United States. As for the Japanese, they are still struggling for the second negotiation. We are afraid of the British losing India, but the Japanese are worried about losing Southeast Asia. "
After being blocked by the United States, a considerable part of Japan's imports were affected. Even at night, the contradictions between the Pacific and the United States suddenly emerged.
In order to resolve this contradiction, the Japanese government has repeatedly tried to negotiate with the United States, hoping to restore US-Japan relations to the level before the comprehensive economic blockade. The core request is that the Japanese government wants the United States to withdraw its troops from India.
Although this intelligence, which was discovered by the Japanese government in mid-August, is still highly layered and has not been released to the public, it is no longer a secret at the high levels of Germany and Japan.
About two divisions of the U.S. military have secretly landed in India at night within a few months, and a large number of supplies have arrived in India directly from the Americas.
If the Japanese economic negotiations are a cover, then Americans are more willing to believe that the Japanese hope to negotiate and ask the United States to stop sending troops.
Correspondingly, the U.S. government requires that unless Japan ceases its military operations in Southeast Asia, the U.S. government will not stop this similar military action and does not rule out the possibility of participating in war in the future.
U.S. government officials hope that through such warnings, Japan will converge on military operations in Southeast Asia.
Norsk lowered his head, and then replied to Roosevelt's gaze, reassuring, "Honour President, rest assured that, even if we are finally attacked, we will minimize the loss. The Atlantic fleet is already in combat, and the Pacific fleet You can also transfer more warships at any time to the Atlantic for support. Even the Chinese can have 15 aircraft carriers, or even 20 aircraft carriers before the end of the year. We in the United States have greater potential for war. "
At present, the two major fleets of the United States, the Pacific Fleet are in the state of secondary readiness, the training frequency of the fleet has been greatly increased, and the vacation of naval officers and soldiers has been cancelled.
"Well, I hope the situation will not worsen again ..." Roosevelt said in a complex look.
At this time, Roosevelt didn't know that if he got up early tomorrow, he would receive a huge 'surprise'.
...
When the white fish in the distant sky appeared, and the star in the night sky gradually disappeared, standing on the bridge with a thick woolen uniform to resist the cold Yamamoto 56, facing the east, finally ushered in a The wheel slowly jumped out of the rising sun on the sea level.
At dawn on December 6, the scheduled battle plan finally came.
Originally, according to the plan, the date of this attack was not absolute, but what made Yamamoto 56 very smooth is that no matter the sea wind or the weather, it is extremely beneficial to the joint fleet operations.
According to the agreed time, the fleet's domestic radio was finally turned on. The encrypted radio wave brought a telegram about Pearl Harbor to the combined fleet.
Everything is normal, and the main ships of the US Pacific Fleet show no sign of departure. Most of them are in seaports. Except for the carrier fleet training in the outbound port in recent days, other ships have basically stopped in the seaports.
Yamamoto 56 can foresee that this sneak attack will suffer heavy losses, because Americans also have as many as six main aircraft carriers and three carriers, for a total of nine aircraft carriers, which has accounted for all 25 aircraft carriers in the United States. Half.
Today's world naval power is no longer an era when battleships were rampant ten years ago.
The fact that the Chinese have relied on carrier-based aircraft to bully the British many times has made the world see the future of carrier-based aircraft, so battleships have been transformed, either as aircraft carriers or battleships. In short, naval battles have gradually Farewell to the era of anti-cannon giant ship confrontation, usher in the era of aircraft carriers and carrier aircraft.
If it is not because the fleet is too large to expose its targets, or if it is not because of the 32 domestic large and small aircraft carriers, it is necessary to deal with the war in Southeast Asia, alerting the Chinese, has disturbed the Americans, and Yamamoto 56 hopes to bring At least half of the warships are aircraft carriers.
This will ensure absolute advantage.
However, even if there were only 11 aircraft carriers, Yamamoto 56 tried his best to choose a ship with a large number of carrier-based aircraft. These newly built aircraft carriers with a pleasant number of aircraft and the total number of 11 aircraft carriers also brought him Come with great confidence.
After all, because of the large number of carrier-based aircraft, Americans have reduced the deployment of Pearl Harbor 6-based aircraft. In comparison, if it was a sneak attack, the 11 aircraft carriers that they brought with them could take off zero-type fighters, Aichi The Type 99 carrier-borne blaster (the Japanese name for the bomber) and the Nakajima Type 97 horizontal / torpedo attack aircraft are all very advanced.
In this regard, Yamamoto 56 even thanked the Chinese very much. It was precisely because of the repeated shame and failure they had experienced that the empire's emphasis on the navy has been raised again. After learning from the Chinese fighters , Designed the advanced zero carrier fighter, and two other aircraft.
It can be said that since the surrender of 33 years, after more than 9 years of exhibitions, Yamamoto 56 believes that the military strength of the empire has been comprehensively improved, and the level of the imperial navy has been able to surpass the US Pacific fleet. If you do not consider the American Atlantic fleet and their strong shipbuilding capabilities, Yamamoto 56 will even dare to lead the Japanese Navy to a full decisive battle with the US Navy.
Although, he has to admit that if the Japanese fleet faces the Chinese, it may still fail. This is also the greatest shame and hope in his heart, hoping that one day, he can defeat the Chinese beside the empire's couch.
"Sir, we currently have a carrier-based flight of about one hour from Pearl Harbor. The scheduled offensive time is coming soon. The weather is very good and it is very suitable for operations."
A Japanese Rear Admiral advised respectfully to Yamamoto fifty-six who stood there watching the sunrise.
"Then let the myth of America wither in the hands of the Great Japanese Empire."
Yamamoto fifty-six fell off the military uniform on his shoulder, strode out of the cabin, and was accompanied by a large number of senior Japanese naval officers to the aircraft carrier deck.
In the aircraft carrier's cabin, the Japanese pilot who had received the order had already written a suicide note, replaced the relic, and tied a thousand needle belt symbolizing victory and peace to his head, waiting to rush out of the cabin at any time.
According to the plan and the exercise, the order of takeoff has been arranged.
Standing on the deck, Yamamoto fifty-six finally issued an order to start the attack.
At the next moment, on the 11 aircraft carriers, the pilot passage cabins mén were pulled apart, and the pilots rushed out one by one, and the crazy Japanese rushed frantically towards the already-arranged aircraft on the deck.
After watching the first plane take off smoothly, as the aircraft carrier bumped Yamamoto Fifty-six in the sea 1ang, he shouted: "Everything, for a long time for the imperial military transportation ..."
At the same time, there was another scene on Oahu.
Okinawa Pearl Harbor ’s highest military commander, Admiral Kimmel, had a one-night meeting with Lieutenant General Shaw, the highest commander of the US 6th Army in Hawaii, last night, but he got up early in the morning.
After blowing a sea breeze, Admiral Kimmel looked boringly at the minutes of last night's meeting compiled by Secretary Miv.
From all aspects of domestic intelligence, the Germans or Japanese will launch a surprise attack on the United States.
As a senior naval general, Admiral Kimmel will insist from the beginning that if Germans or Japanese take military action against the United States, the security of American routes will be the greatest threat. On the contrary, he does not think that the United States will be threatened Attack. Of course, he did not think that Pearl Harbor would be attacked because the military force here was almost equivalent to the Pacific Fleet. The distance from Germany and Japan is thousands of kilometers away.
Now, as the Navy's supreme commander at Pearl Harbor, he even orders the fleet to shrink back to Oahu. In addition to strengthening training, he considers it very necessary to maintain the efficient and unified operation of the Pacific Fleet in the event of an accident.
After watching the minutes of the meeting, General Kimmel went to the officer's cafeteria for breakfast. He has always maintained a good style and rarely asked for privileges.
Upon returning to the office, Admiral Kimmel received a call from his intelligence and staffing agencies.
"General, everything is fine, and it's a great day."
After getting this news, Admiral Kimmel was in a good mood. After questioning today's fleet training plan and routine patrols, he was ready to drive to inspect the entire Oahu defense. This is unnecessary work, but he wants to inspect.
What Admiral Kimmel did not know was that just five minutes ago, a mobile air defense radar station had just become abnormal.
"Loccard, look at it. There is something."
Recruit Elliott has just become a radar soldier, and his experience is not enough, but he finally knows that when a light spot on the radar oscilloscope jumps, it means that a flying object is approaching.
"Elliott, if you are wrong again, I will report you and transfer you away."
Lockard remembered that Elliott had repeatedly made a lot of trivial questions before, and was a little annoyed when he had nothing to do. He just jumped on the mobile radar station and looked at the oscilloscope at random. He was shocked.
"So many things? What is this?"
Experienced Lockard, watching a large spot of light bounced on the radar oscilloscope, could not help feeling scalp. When he received training, once the light spot appeared on the radar oscilloscope, he would subconsciously think of it as an enemy.
However, this is the United States and the territory of the United States. So, in fact, Locard has never seen any enemy aircraft. Instead, he often counts light points from the radar and guesses how many aircraft have flown to Oahu. Pearl Harbor, or how many planes have flown away.
"Damn it, maybe they're training."
Lockard refers to the big guys in Pearl Harbor, the carriers of the carrier fleet. Recently, they have been training from morning to night.
Time will soon pass. After all, the two are radar soldiers. When he saw the plane was still approaching, Elliot couldn't help but said, "Locard, we should probably ask the intelligence department for instructions."
After a long time, Lockard finally picked up the phone and asked the intelligence department about the aircraft carrier training.
"Yes, Virginia and Essex are training today. Yes, morning training."
After putting down the phone, Lockard said with relief, "Damn, they are always training, from morning till night. I don't want to be guilty of lying about the military."
As a result, the two brave and loyal American radar soldiers did not report the current intelligence of the radar until the Japanese aircraft flew over Pearl Harbor on Oahu.
At the same time, Washington, the Japanese ambassador to the United States Nomura, carrying the message of a top secret declaration of war that has just arrived in the country, is heading to the White House reception room.
It is also at this time that in another direction of Hawaii, a small four-ship formation has actually begun to reduce in the actual multi-kilometre sea surface.
In Cambridge, Ge Cunsheng, dressed in the uniform of a naval admiral, coincidentally, also looked at the direction of Hawaii in the distance. Behind him was the Major General Yangtze River, the carrier of the aircraft carrier Dachu.
"How beautiful is the sunrise of Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat m. Deep in the Pacific Ocean, it turns out that such a beautiful Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Women's Winter Coat m."
Looking at the rising sun that had just jumped out of the Haiping line, Ge Cunsheng seemed to be seeing a huge round of hope, and could not help expressing his emotions.
Yes, great hope.
This time the battle plan, he was very clear that the original intention of the high-level formulation was to try his best to bury the Pacific Fleet of the Americans. Of course, it also included the bombing of Americans' storage tanks of up to 10,000 barrels, and the construction of Pearl Harbor. Shipyard.
If the plan is executed perfectly, it will be the most successful.
Well, the Americans will have unprecedented fierce battles with the Japanese in the Pacific, and they will also fall into the trap of Germans and Japanese.
Leading the misfortune eastward, but not to yourself, but to Japan, not only destroys the US navy strength, but also prevents Japan from overswelling. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
"The rise of a nation is always tortuous, but we have been working hard to make it happen, and finally let us see hope." Next to him, Major General Jiang Ming couldn't help but sigh. As an old man in the Southwest, he can also be regarded as the Republic. One of the old navy people. Along the way, he saw the hardships of the Republic exhibition and the turbulent world situation.
In a game of chess, the whole world plays together. Then, China's situation must be step by step, otherwise, it may become the price of the rise of other nations.
"Jiang Ming, it is not easy for our navy to go to today, and it is not easy for our nation to go to today. Perhaps from today, it will be the opener of the future world situation."
Ge Cunsheng knew that the Pearl Harbor attack, no matter what the outcome, as long as China did not reveal the identity of the attack, the United States would immediately join the Allies and participate in the battle against the Axis Powers.
No country can tolerate such a huge failure. Once the United States enters the war, it will be the real high-netbsp of the World War; the two said something, but no one wants to leave, it seems that they are waiting for something.
"Commander Ge, the information just received, the Japanese have taken action against Pearl Harbor in accordance with the original plan, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft groups will be out at 7: 00 a.m. Hanjing time."
Finally, long-awaited news came, a combat staffer reported the latest situation to the two generals.
"Let's go, Jiang Ming, let's go and send the children down."
Ge Cunsheng doesn't know how dangerous this trip will be, but he knows that no matter what, a new day has come.
In Hanjing, thousands of kilometers away, Zhang Shusheng even took personal training an hour ahead of schedule, then came to the office early, let Mao Yun call himself on everything by phone, then drilled into the underground scientific research center and opened That 'F compound Eye' monitoring device.
"Chairman, the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor has already begun. Just now, according to the information we obtained, the first wave of aircraft has taken off. Yamamoto 56 has reported to the country that the plan has begun."
Just ten minutes ago, he received a phone call from Luo Feng about the information that Japan has begun operations. The information is very accurate. It was returned by a senior agent from the special affairs department lurking inside Japan. Moreover, this time will Night is the night without the intelligence turnaround time. To be precise, the Japanese started the action about a few minutes ago.
"After this war, you must pay attention to collecting the results of the Japanese army ’s casualties in this operation, so that post-war analysis can be done at that time." Zhang Shusheng is not particularly clear about the Japanese combat effectiveness, even the United States and Japan today, and even the world naval power. , Much stronger than this period of previous lives.
Moreover, the attack on Pearl Harbor was indeed full of many variables.
In previous lives, US aircraft carriers were not in the port, and they seemed to have escaped from the disaster, which actually weakened the resistance that the Japanese army might encounter. The entire Pearl Harbor originally had about several ships and aircraft in history, but now the number is much larger.
Nine aircraft carriers, a total of nearly a hundred ships, most of the battleships and cruisers have also been converted into anti-submarine and air defense-focused ships. This is the result of the butterfly effect cited by Zhang Shusheng. He instigated his wings on the west coast of the Pacific, and the United States on the east coast caused a storm. The structure of the U.S. Navy is the same as that of the Japanese.
The so-called variables, if Yamamoto fifty-six is ​​not as lucky as the previous life, or even particularly unlucky, then can you perfectly attack Pearl Harbor, let alone say that as many as nine U.S. aircraft carriers may also be a leaked fish, or even fight back The powerful force of the Japanese army.
Although the Japanese army's weapons are very advanced, and the Type 0 fighters are better than the US carrier-based aircraft, Zhang Shusheng was still not assured, so he formed a special mixed fleet to 'help' one.
Compared to the US and Japanese aircraft carriers, China's two aircraft carriers seem to be small in number. In fact, the combat capability of more than a hundred aircraft is almost equivalent to twice that of US and Japanese aircraft.
In other words, China's entry into the sneak attack will even become a bargaining chip to change Pearl Harbor's final balance and overwhelm Americans.
"It looks like it's about to begin."
In the 3d image, both pictures are facing the ocean ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Two hj-3 shipborne fighters equipped with compound lenses are placed in the front position of Dachu, which is expected to be the first Warplanes taking off in waves. Can't go to the front line, but Zhang Shusheng even more expected that the compound eye battlefield monitoring system can bring him comprehensive visual enjoyment.
The image is very clear. The sea, battleships, Nantian and even the rising sun are all extremely clear. Zhang Shusheng even saw Ge Yunsheng and Jiang Ming standing on the deck. They should be preparing to bid farewell to the combat aircraft.
In the 3d image, from the perspective of the fighter plane where Songzhou is located, the pilot in front of the plane is seated in a state of combat.
With the final order, the carrier-based aircraft began to move. After the front plane took off, Zhang Shusheng finally felt the image shaking, and the fighter plane driven by Songzhou began to take off.
While enjoying the fragrant tea, Zhang Shusheng stared at the 3d video tightly. Even the phone call from Deng Haogan about the
Yellow Sparrow
project had just been answered briefly.
"I hope that the next event will be a jīng color show. The cicada, mantis and yellow bird are a very exciting event."
