Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Hawaii time, 5:40 a.m. on December 7.

On the vast sea, there is a huge fleet that is moving through the waves silently like a ghost. At this time, the Japanese were only 220 nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor.

Following the order from frontline commander Chuichi Nagumo, the deck ground handling teams of the six aircraft carriers suddenly became busy.

Carrier-based aircraft of various types took off one after another, then assembled in the designated airspace as quickly as possible, and then rushed straight to the target military port in the distance.

"Commander Fuchida, Tone and Chikuma's waterborne reconnaissance aircraft have received news!"

"Currently, the entire island of Oahu is not under blackout, and all the enemy's Pacific Fleet is staying in Pearl Harbor! Admiral Yamamoto's plan has completely deceived the Ugly people!"

Hearing this, Akagi's flight captain Mizuo Fuchida showed a wicked smile.

In order to successfully complete this raid mission, our base camp began to prepare for the rainy day several months ago.

The first to take action was the Army Red Deer. They increased the strength of the Kwantung Army in July and made it look like they were going north to attack the Mao Xiong together with Tokusan.

The second is our own navy. Frequent mobilization and reconnaissance have put the enemy into a blind spot, leading a certain five-star reviewer to still micromanage the aviation forces stationed in the Philippines.

The final blow was launched by the cadets of the Etajima Naval War School.

In order to cover up this operation, they frequently appeared in public places dressed as military officers. This move is only to confuse spies from various countries lurking in the mainland.

In a sense, the Copperhead planned by the Allies three years later was similar to Japan's current plan.

"Ugly country ghosts, nothing more than that!"

"Since isolationism keeps their homeland away from war, let's help the ugly countrymen recall the memory of World War I! Get ready to attack, we are about to reach our destination!"

While the three were talking, there was some commotion at the radar station located on the northern coast of Oahu.

"Hey guys, guess what I saw! A large shadow appeared 132 nautical miles north of the island! It was too big to look like an airplane, right?"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the room immediately gathered around.

Looking at the shadows composed of dense pixels on the screen, the captain on duty immediately rushed to the communication room, trying to report the discovery to the Air Defense Command as soon as possible.

As we all know, the good things independently developed by the British during World War II basically fell into the hands of the Ugly people for various reasons.

The radar surveillance system at Pearl Harbor was the same as that deployed along the coastline of the British Isles.

It can only detect echoes within a certain range, and cannot distinguish what objects approaching at high speed are, nor does it have the function of identifying friend or foe in future generations.

But what a coincidence, today there happened to be a group of B17 bombers flying from the mainland to support Pearl Harbor.

After receiving the report from the lower-level radar station, the commander of the Air Defense Command did not panic at all. He even asked his men to turn off the radar and not disturb his rest.

After all, today is the weekend. Whose migrant workers have to stick to their posts on Sundays?

······

At 7:53, the first wave of attack formations.

Pearl Harbor under the morning light, seen from a high altitude, the mist is lingering and lush. If it's not during a war, it can definitely be considered a good choice for travel.

But at this moment, Mitsuo Fuchida only had eyes for the waterway between Ford Island and the Navy Yard.

There are three aircraft carriers arranged in sequence from southwest to northeast, namely Enterprise, Saratoga, and Lexington.

In addition, the Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia, Arizona and Nevada are also moored on Battleship Avenue on the south side.

As for the remaining light and heavy cruisers and a handful of destroyers?

Sorry, Fuchida Mizuo really doesn't like those little rags now. In the mind of this HNA ace pilot, the above-mentioned battleships and aircraft carriers are the top priority of this operation.

"Everything is extremely quiet. Not even a single shot of Chou Country's ground anti-aircraft artillery fire was fired. There were not even any planes taking off to fight on the bay."

"great!"

"Send a signal to Major General Yamaguchi immediately! Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

After finishing speaking, the first wave of attack teams, a total of 193 carrier-based aircraft, flew towards the Pacific Fleet below.

Among them, 49 Nine-Sevens carry 800 kilograms of armor-piercing aerial bombs. These special aerial bombs are modified from Nagato's main gun shells. Even the Iron Bastard of the Chou Kingdom can penetrate them.

The other 50 97 ship attack aircraft are equipped with 91 modified 2 aviation torpedoes equipped with wooden fins. They are the main force in attacking surface warships.

There are also 51 Jiujiu ship bombers. These dive bombers target the air defense facilities and airports on the island, just to prevent A Chou's counterattack from the source.

Finally, there are 43 Zero Fighters. Their mission seems to be relatively easy at present. They only need to be responsible for escort and security.

In fact, it stands to reason that there should not be an aircraft carrier in Pearl Harbor currently.

Because the current mainstream thinking of the U.S. Navy is stagnant and only gives aircraft carriers auxiliary combat functions. Their senior officials use aircraft carriers more as aviation cruisers.

The above-mentioned views have been reflected in many fleet exercises.

Since it is a cruiser, it naturally has to be dispersed to perform reconnaissance, search and even transportation tasks.

In the original timeline, the Saratoga was pulled back to the domestic dock for repairs and upgrades in January 1941 because it had been in service for too long.

It was not until the end of the year that she would receive new carrier-based aircraft and return to Pearl Harbor to join the fleet.

But!

Due to the sudden and strong rise of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese headquarters felt an unprecedented threat, so they added to the original southward advance plan.

Under desperation, Ah Chou could only speed up the upgrade of Saratoga so that it would return to the fleet in early November this year.

As for the situation of the Enterprise, it was really interesting.

Under the command of Halsey, she set off on November 28 and was ordered to transport 12 wildcat fighters to Wake Island and conduct reconnaissance and search along the way.

In the original timeline, this fleet would encounter a storm at sea, resulting in not returning to the military port at the scheduled time.

But it seemed that there was a will in the dark. Halsey, who encountered an emergency, directly possessed the Bull and the Son of the Storm, and took the fleet through the eye of the storm safely.

All I can say is that his luck is as bad as ever. He doesn't come when he should, and suddenly appears when he shouldn't.

Finally, there is Mrs. Lie. In the original timeline, she should have left Pearl Harbor on December 5 and headed to Midway Island to transport 18 reconnaissance planes, and conduct reconnaissance searches along the way.

However, due to the storm, the commander who sought stability chose to wait in Pearl Harbor. Anyway, the Japanese could not attack, so there was no need to rush the task of strategic transportation.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was all because of a certain butterfly named Huang.

But I still have to thank him for presenting a big drama of three aircraft carriers gathering in Pearl Harbor to all the viewers.

······

"Group One! Get into combat position! Our primary targets are the enemy's battleships and aircraft carriers!"

"Torpedo planes go and take out Lexington first. Her position is the most suitable for the formation to cut in. The ship bombers go and blow up the battleships. Let Arizona be our sacrifice first!"

"Black card! Onboard!"

After receiving the order from their own flight captain, more than 30 Type 97 carrier-based attack planes from Canglong and Feilong, carrying special torpedoes, rushed towards the aircraft carrier from the south at an ultra-low altitude.

They flew almost close to the sea surface.

Such a low altitude made the ugly country sailors who had never seen the world think they were living in a dream.

After all, during World War II, the way carrier-based aircraft carried out torpedo attacks was to launch torpedoes at an altitude of 100 meters and a distance of 1,200 meters from the enemy ship.

After the torpedo fell into the water, due to kinetic energy and potential energy, it would continue to dive to a depth of about 60 meters.

Then it relied on its own power to float to a depth of about five meters from the water surface and finally hit the predetermined attack target.

It is precisely because of the above principle that in a certain Minsk magic game made by the white-haired guy, there is a mechanism for torpedoes to be crushed.

The reason why the pilots of this book flew close to the sea is that the average water depth of Pearl Harbor is only fourteen meters, and conventional torpedoes will directly sink into the mud even if they are thrown into the deepest waters.

For this reason, the pilots specially installed wooden fins on the tail of the Type 91-2 aviation torpedo. And all pilots are required to carry out ultra-low-altitude bombing at a position of about twenty meters.

When arriving at the predetermined attack location, twelve Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft released torpedoes at the same time.

The white lightning marks on the sea surface are crisscrossed, and even the most skilled destroyer captains find it difficult to avoid them, let alone a large surface ship that is motionless.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the left side of the Lexington tilted severely.

"It was penetrated below the waterline! Our ship is rapidly taking in water! Damage control team! Act quickly!"

No more sleep, just stay up
