Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Facts have proven that opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

In November last year, the British Mediterranean Fleet formed a strike force with the aircraft carrier Glorious as the core, and used 21 Swordfish, which had been professionally broken for 30 years, as the main force, to launch an attack code-named Judgment at the Italian Taranto military port. surprise attack.

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

As the saying goes, I am ecstatic when my friendly forces are beaten. While Oiying was still taking stock of the harvest with great interest, Yamamoto Shichijohachi, who was far away in Japan, also started his own plan.

After all, old junk like Swordfish can succeed. There is no reason why our own Nine-Seven Ship Attack and Nine-Nine Ship Explosion can't achieve greater results.

After secretly making up his mind to launch a surprise attack, the old Japanese first ordered the liaison officer stationed locally to collect as much detailed battle intelligence as possible.

Then he integrated all the useful information on hand and immediately arranged targeted training subjects for the combined fleet in Kagoshima, whose geographical environment is very similar to Pearl Harbor.

It is precisely because of the above-mentioned precautions that we have the great harvest today.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In a series of deafening explosions, five of the twelve Type 91 to 2 aviation torpedoes fired at the Lexington aircraft carrier directly hit her port side.

Never look down on a 40% hit rate.

Reality is not Baimaozi's game. Even in the late stages of the war, the offensive efficiency of 12 out of 5 is breathtaking.

"Fire alarm!"

"Damage control team! Act quickly!"

Although the sailors on the Lietai are all experienced veterans, the five most advanced torpedoes of the current era are not so easy to carry.

Even though the damage control team tried their best to save themselves, a huge amount of seawater still poured into the port side of the ship, and her body screamed in pain in an instant.

This aircraft carrier, which has been in service for 14 years, is like a turning whale, moving slowly while leaning into the seabed.

The soldiers trapped throughout the hull could only beat the surrounding walls in despair, trying to send out a distress signal through the most primitive method.

But now, there is no search and rescue team.

The sudden attack threw the entire Pearl Harbor into chaos, and no one could help.

For the next fifteen minutes, Mrs. Lie's sailors could only spend the next fifteen minutes in the dark water. Perhaps the cleaners who wash the hull are the luckiest people, after all, they can die without pain.

Compared to Lexington, who was brutally murdered, sister-in-law Saratoga's situation is better.

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

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

Perhaps one day in the future, she will be salvaged by the Pacific Fleet and repaired, embarking on the road to avenge her sister.

"Yo Xi! Everyone is in high spirits! In just the first wave of attacks, two aircraft carriers were successfully killed! If Admiral Yamamoto knows this news, he will definitely be very happy!"

"Let's act quickly! Try to kill or severely damage a few more battleships! The rise and fall of the Locust Kingdom! This is the battle!"

The person currently speaking is the torpedo aircraft captain of the Akagi and the commander-in-chief of this first wave of torpedo aircraft formations.

As an ace pilot of Hainan Airlines, Murata Shigeharu naturally knows that Ugly Country currently only has seven aircraft carriers.

Now in the early stages of the war, their combined fleet had killed two ships. Those are Lexington and Saratoga, not Langley coal ships and Borg-class escort carriers.

A simple attack can create a situation of ten against five or even eleven against four on the future battlefield. How can this make the old devil unhappy.

"Hi!"

"Getting into combat position!"

After the conversation, a dozen 97-ships, led by their own captains, pounced on the Oklahoma and West Virginia.

At this time, some ships and Ugly soldiers in the port had already entered preset combat positions under the leadership of commanders at all levels.

"Keep your position!"

"Damn the Japanese! They are starting an undeclared war!"

It's a pity, because the fleet commander believes that frequent alarms will only make the officers and soldiers exhausted. So most soldiers, except those on duty, had Saturday night off.

In particular, the destroyers and cruisers that were supposed to be responsible for the air defense of the fleet had no combat personnel at all.

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

In the sparse air defense firepower network, the elite pilots of Hainan Airlines were like light petrels, firing torpedoes at the intended target with almost no cost.

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

She was hit by three Type 91 modified 2 aviation torpedoes. The ship's oil depot burst into flames, and the heavy oil that immediately seeped out filled the surrounding sea.

Those soldiers who managed to escape from the ship could only watch as they fell into the sea of ​​fire, and were finally burned to ashes in despair.

The end of the West Virginia, which was side by side, was not much better.

She was hit on the port side and was engulfed in flames, and even her boiler exploded during the attack. If damage control fails to act in time, the final outcome will inevitably be death at the bottom of the sea.

After destroying all the aerial bombs he carried, Murata Shigeharu issued the order to return via the communication channel.

"Gentlemen! Hurry back to the ship and prepare! We still have thirty torpedoes that have not been used!"

"Don't forget to observe on the way back. Major General Yamaguchi is still waiting for everyone's information, and he will select suitable targets for the second and even third wave!"

"Hi!"

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

Due to the geography of Pearl Harbor, they had only one suitable approach path. If it flies over a building, the turbulent airflow will interfere with the accuracy of the torpedo release.

Therefore, most of the 97-ship attack could only enter from the southeastern bay, causing the entire formation's attack targets to be concentrated on Lexington, Saratoga, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.

Secondly, some pilots misidentified the target during the attack.

For example, several torpedo planes mistook the battleship Utah for the flagship Pennsylvania. This is not even more outrageous. For a few days, Helena was mistaken for a battleship.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, looking down from an altitude of three thousand meters, no matter how large a surface ship is, it is just a black straight line.

In short, the Japanese HNA did have problems in the first wave of attacks. But the flaws were not concealed. They used a 48% hit rate to kill two main aircraft carriers, two battleships and several cruise destroyers.

Such a perfect answer would definitely make Yamaguchi laugh like a fool.

······

After the torpedo bombers left the battlefield, horizontal bombers headed by Mizuo Fuchida came to take over. Their mission was to destroy the inner battleships that were inaccessible to torpedoes:

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

"Look, everyone! The dawn in the distance is just like the rising sun flag of our country's navy! We have already seen the sun of victory in the distance!"

"Gentlemen! We can't lose to our torpedo plane colleagues! Oh my god, it's a black card! Onboard!"

As Fuchida roared, dozens of 97 ships carrying special armor-piercing aerial bombs flew towards the Pacific Fleet.

Those anti-aircraft shells fired from the ground seemed like a salute to welcome guests, and they could not affect the elite members of Benzi HNA at all.

"Left two degrees, hold on!"

"Ready! Release!"

Although there was only one aircraft carrier left in the naval port, the Japanese bombardier still carefully compared the photos.

After confirming that everything was correct, he released the armor-piercing aerial bomb modified from the long-gate main gun shell against the deck of the Enterprise.

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

Facts have proved that HNA really had two tricks up its sleeve in the 1941 book. Even with high-altitude horizontal bombing, they can achieve a hit rate of about 20%.

A few minutes later, the Maryland was hit first with two hits.

However, there was a problem with the delay fuse of one of the aerial bombs. Only one penetrated the deck and exploded in the engine room, successfully completing its mission.

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

The main event is here!

Just like in every Shining Sword fanfic, the Sakata Alliance will be beaten to death by a new group of people, and the attack on Pearl Harbor naturally involves Arizona's sacrifice.

An armor-piercing bomb hit her No. 2 turret directly and detonated the ammunition magazine below.

With a huge and low roar, the entire battleship was thrown out of the water. The huge main gun clip was abandoned high, mixed with the mutilated limbs of soldiers, and for a while the entire military port was ablaze.

The sea is full of burnt corpses. If there really is a hell in the world, it is undoubtedly Battleship Street at this time.

With just one armor-piercing aerial bomb, this iron bastard with 12 356 main guns split into two halves, and the thousand soldiers on board were buried at the bottom of the sea.

The kitchen goddess who was responsible for maintenance was also severely injured.

In this attack, the only surface ship that was slightly damaged was the USS Enterprise. The bombs thrown at her either hit California nearby, or were dumb bombs with faulty delay fuses.

This is probably the lucky E who is destined to challenge the entire IJN.

Looking at Pearl Harbor, which was in chaos and full of wailing, Halsey clenched his fists angrily. At this moment, the Vice Admiral just wanted to take his aircraft carrier to avenge his dead colleagues and the Pacific Fleet.

Somewhere in the dark, a sentence seemed to echo in his mind.

"You are our army's last hope!" (End of this chapter)
