"..." the American general wanted to look at the calendar to see if it was April Fool's day. His subordinates even told him to sound the battle alarm and let dozens of naval warships in the whole military harbor prepare for the battle. Did no one tell them what the consequences would be?
"Did you make a mistake? Today... Is Sunday..." finally, the general replied to his subordinates.
While all the U.S. Navy soldiers were enjoying the scattered sunshine on Sunday morning, the Japanese pilots were already close to the target of this attack, and dozens of U.S. warships just stopped in the harbor, even the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier enterprise.
"Woo... Woo...!" The urgent battle alarm sounded over Pearl Harbor, and finally the Americans sounded their own Sirens before the battle began. However, the sleeping American sailors did not realize that the danger had come. They rubbed their loose eyes and did not know why they made a big fuss for a while.
An American soldier was brushing his teeth. He didn't stop when he heard the alarm. He stood on the deck, watching the plane approaching his warship in the distance, breathing fresh air and feeling the cool sea breeze.
However, when he widened his eyes and saw clearly that there was a huge red sun sign on the wing of the plane flying opposite, he didn't know what to do next.
"Japanese... Japanese aircraft!" Greatly frightened by his mouth, he ran back to the cabin and shouted loudly to the comrades who had just woken up.
"What are you talking about? It's a mess. " A yawning soldier just walked out of his cabin and said to his panicked comrades with his bare arms.
"Japanese! The Japanese are calling The soldier who brushing his teeth swallowed up the foam and said loudly.
But with his scream, the first bomb dropped by the Japanese has landed on the battleship Arizona not far away. The huge explosion set off a dazzling flame, which made all the American soldiers awake.
"Suddenly! Suddenly A Japanese fighter jet blasted past the U.S. warship with a tongue of fire, and the machine gun hit the steel and burst out a spark. One by one, the American marines running outside the ship were shot and fell down. Blood flowed down the hollowed out iron stairs and finally dyed the wooden warship deck red.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Because the battle alarm has been sounded in advance, the United States is not completely waiting to die this time. Some soldiers have indeed arrived at their combat Posts dozens of seconds ahead of time. Now they can fire at those targets in the sky for the first time.
With the sudden firing of an anti-aircraft gun position on the warship, the Japanese pilot was caught off guard and quickly adjusted his flight attitude. As a result, the torpedo under the fuselage missed its angle. The torpedo, which was originally aimed at the battleship, jumped in from a place not far from the bow of the target ship and hit a destroyer not far away.
"Major! They're fighting back! They are fighting back! " A pilot looked in horror at the US warship anti-aircraft gun position nearby and called for his commander. He kept changing the flight path of the plane, and finally found a warship that didn't fire, and dropped his bomb in a hurry.
The huge explosion came again, and the Japanese air bomb hit another American battleship. The warship's command room was hit by a bomb, and a huge flame immediately erupted. At this time, more than a dozen planes were forming an attack formation, diving down and starting to drop bombs on the aircraft carrier enterprise.
With the beginning of the battle, American soldiers on the ground began to run to their anti-aircraft gun positions, where there are many weapons and equipment that can attack Japanese aircraft. This is the main military port of the United States, and the air defense firepower is absolutely dense and powerful.
However, the Japanese aircraft obviously expected this. Most of the anti-aircraft gun positions in the US ports have been marked on the map by Japanese intelligence personnel. These anti-aircraft gun positions are the main targets of this attack by Japanese Zero Fighters.
The Zero fighter can carry two 60kg air bombs, which can be used to bomb these fixed air defense firepower. So when these US air defense forces just entered their own position were shaking the handle to let the antiaircraft gun lift its barrel, the Japanese Zero fighter dived down in the sky.
It has to be said that the training of the US troops who have been fighting for a long time is not very strict on weekdays. They are used to dealing with all kinds of exercises and are more lazy and procrastinating on weekends. When they hear the alarm, they subconsciously regard this attack as a realistic exercise, and do not immediately organize to launch a counterattack.
When they confirmed that the attack was not a show, the disaster had indeed happened and the tragedy had been cast. Most of the air defense and anti-aircraft gun positions, which used to be densely packed and almost invulnerable, were bombed to ruins by the Japanese Navy Air Force before firing back. Many soldiers died in their own gun positions, and they were only one step away from firing back at the opponents who took their lives.
"Boom!" The battleship Arizona was hit by an air bomb for the second time. The battleship now begins to roll, but not too fast. Because of the scattered anti-aircraft fire nearby, the Japanese bombing was not as accurate as expected, which left a certain reaction time for many American warships.
However, Japanese pilots are really well-trained. They begin to adjust the attack rhythm and give priority to those warships whose air defense firepower has not been opened. In this way, the attack speed can be guaranteed and the attack can achieve greater results within the specified time. One after another, American warships exploded and caught fire, and the smoke in the harbor was thick. American navy soldiers began to escape from the sea on a large scale, because their warships are now slowly sinking. Japanese planes skimmed the American soldiers on the sea at low altitude, and used their machine guns to sweep one blood route after another in the sea“ Battleship Arizona is sinking! I watched it sink! Contact their captain! Let them start damage control at once The destroyer captain on one side yelled at his men. However, his soldiers are in a mess at this moment. Some are looking for their pets everywhere, some are eager to put lifebuoys on their bodies, and more people are shooting at the sky with everything they can find, hoping to drive away those lingering Japanese fighter troops. Japan's torpedoes hit the US warship again, this time the aircraft carrier enterprise. Because of being shot on the deck, the aircraft carrier has been burning. Now the sideboard has been hit again, which makes the big ship which has been attacked more difficult. The sailors on duty above have given up rescuing. They dive to escape and try to stay away from the warship behind them“ This is the Pacific fleet! Our fleet has been attacked by the Japanese! The port is in chaos! Request support! Ask for support There was a loud cry for help from a radio receiver that was thrown on the ground. Next to the receiver, there was a bleeding beauty official. This is the U.S. Army Air Force's airport command tower. A minute ago, it was riddled by a Japanese plane. The officers and airport controllers inside have died. The only survivor is crying to get his arm back. The ground airport of the United States was attacked by Japanese aircraft at the same time, which has long been a sea of fire. Hundreds of U.S. P-40 new fighters on the ground are like targets deliberately prepared for Japanese aircraft. These fragile war weapons are destroyed in groups on the ground and become piles of burning scrap iron. The U.S. Hawaiian base, which has lost its airport, is more vulnerable. Japanese aircraft are rampant in the sky. At this moment, the U.S. fleet can do nothing but struggle. One American warship after another was sunk by the Japanese Navy. Some cruisers overturned the lifeboats in the process of anchoring and fleeing. The blood of American soldiers dyed the whole harbor red in the sea. A few minutes later, with a huge explosion, the battleship Pennsylvania was detonated in the ammunition compartment, which exploded like a firecracker, breaking in two in a second. Just two minutes later, the warship was completely stranded and sank in Pearl Harbor. Just ten minutes later, the enterprise and Lexington sank together and sank to the bottom of the sea in their berths. There was only one flagpole left on the Lexington, and the American flag was still flying in the sea breeze“ Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan In Washington, a secretary holds the phone and looks at his boss, President Roosevelt, waiting for him to give a series of countermeasures. The Secretary's face was frightened, because at this moment he could not even believe that the United States would be attacked by other countries. At this time, Roosevelt could not see any expression. He did not know whether he was excited that the United States could finally find an excuse to participate in the war, or whether he should be sad for the American soldiers who were being attacked“ The aircraft carrier fleet suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese air raid has not ended so far. The carrier enterprise has just been confirmed to have sunk, and there is no specific information about other warships. " The Secretary said in a trembling voice: "the fleet in Pearl Harbor has suffered a lot! Mr. President“ Order a counterattack immediately! You can't wait to die! " Roosevelt seemed to come back to his senses. He ordered his men, "prepare the speech, and the United States will immediately declare war on the enemy who provoked us!"
