Suddenly, bursts of rapid and shrill air defense sirens sounded!After a while, the communications staff reported loudly: "Commander, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft fleet has been discovered. There are about 36 torpedo attack aircraft and 24 Type 96 fighter jets!"

"What? Why are there only 60 planes? Didn't you find the dive bombers?" Halsey was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked hurriedly.

"No, sir!"

"Hehe, then we are still outside the combat radius of the Japanese Type 98 bombers. Order the F4F fleet to take off immediately to intercept. The Japanese torpedo planes must not be allowed to approach the aircraft carrier!"

Halsey was indeed right. In fact, he already knew the data of the Type 98, which the British provided to the United States after the Pearl Harbor incident.Because of the existence of the second Anglo-Japanese alliance in this time and space, the technical exchanges between Britain and Japan were also very active at one time, so the British are very familiar with the performance of the Japanese Type 98 carrier-based bomber, and now they naturally share this information with the United States.It is precisely for this reason that Halsey will control the distance between the US aircraft carrier and the Japanese aircraft carrier formation to more than 400 kilometers.

This time it seems that it is the turn of the American carrier-based aircraft to act fiercely. In less than 3 minutes, 18 F4F fighter jets that were already ready took off, plus the 18 F4F fighters that were already circling in the sky, a total of 36 4 F24Fs roared at the 36 Type 97s that were descending, and 12 entangled 24 Type 96s. The one-sided massacre began again, but this time the slaughtered Changed to Japanese...

Chapter 0801 Admiral's decision ([-]) the first ray of kamikaze in the Pacific Ocean

"Nani!"

The eyeballs of Yamamoto 56 were so startled that they almost fell off. He never imagined that the British Z Fleet actually crossed the South China Sea and the Philippine Islands to run wild in the Western Pacific!And it was when the main force of the Japanese combined fleet attacked Hawaii.

"Ba Ge! What are these Chinese people doing? Where is their Nanyang Fleet? Why didn't they sink the Repulse! How could they be so irresponsible?!"

Inside the bridge of the Nagato, the staff officers of the United Fleet were immediately petrified when they heard the news.Of course, a British battlecruiser is not a great combat power. Even if there is one large aircraft carrier in the combined fleet, it can easily damage it. 1 refits) are all coming to Hawaii!

本来这也没有什么，在日本海军原本的谋划中，这艘反击号战列巡洋舰自有5艘或是6艘中国航空母舰去对付。中国航母所装备的几百架A4C和A4E在性能上还要远远超过97式和98式，区区一艘战列巡洋舰根本不够给它们塞牙缝的。可是中国人为什么把它放到太平洋上来杀害无辜的大日本皇军呢？难道说……这些狡猾的支那帝国主义想让日本和白鬼同归于尽？

The temperature inside the bridge of the Nagato seemed to drop to freezing point, and all the officers felt chills on their backs, as if they were not in the sea near the equator, but in the Arctic Ocean.Although they also know that the relationship between China and Japan is not so harmonious, they never imagined that when facing a common enemy, these Chinese would do such a thing of sacrificing friendly troops regardless of the overall situation.

If the Chinese Nanyang Fleet refuses to take action, then before the combined fleet returns to the division, a battlecruiser Retaliation will be invincible in the Western Pacific.All Japanese transport fleets will have the same fate as Commander Tojo's fleet when they encounter it... In other words, Japan's southward operations have to be postponed, and Britain and the United States can use this precious time to strengthen Australia's defense.

According to the secret agreement between China and Japan, Japan has only one year of priority in Lanyin and Australia. If Japan cannot take down Australia by then, the Chinese will come to grab the territory!

The excitement and joy of attacking Pearl Harbor and severely injuring the U.S. Pacific Fleet suddenly turned into bitterness. Now they have formed a deadly enmity with the United Kingdom and the United States, and the only ally they can rely on is definitely not at ease. The life of the Japanese Empire is really bitter. ah!

At this moment, Yamamoto 56 has resumed his former general demeanor, and the overall situation of the entire world war has been calculated in his mind.Although the Chinese don't have a penny of affection for Japan, in the current world war that determines the future destiny of the nation for a thousand years, past grudges are just floating clouds. As long as it helps to win the final victory of the war, there is nothing that cannot be resolved of.The reason why China and Germany are so indifferent to Japan now is that in the final analysis, they still have not seen Japan's true strength, and even regard Japan as a troublemaker who can be abandoned at any time!What Japan can do is to do its best to prove its strength in front of its allies, and to tell the world that the Great Japanese Empire is definitely not another Poland!

"Report, received battle reports from the front: The Akagi and Kaga fleets reported that the US carrier-based planes were flying to Oahu and seemed to be landing at an airport near Pearl Harbor."

"Bage!" Yamamoto 56's face, which had just improved a bit, became gloomy again.Unexpectedly, these American carrier-based aircraft did not return to the aircraft carrier. The Akagi and Kaga Aviation Brigades seemed to be in vain!What's even more troublesome is that after Pearl Harbor got these dozens of planes, its defense capabilities will inevitably be greatly enhanced...

"Hehe..." Hei Dao Kameto, the immortal staff officer, laughed when he heard the report, and said, "We have met a good opponent, and the opponent's moves are beyond our expectations! Your Excellency Commander, order The air teams of Akagi and Kaga should return."

"Return?" Yamamoto frowned, looked at Kuroshima, and seemed to be waiting for his explanation.

Kuroshima smiled lightly, and said: "Your Excellency, the Akagi and Kaga Aviation Groups are equipped with torpedoes and armor-piercing bombs used to attack the fleet, and forcing them to attack the enemy's airport will not achieve much results, and ... I am also worried that the Americans have deployed a large number of anti-aircraft artillery around the airport, just waiting for us to hit it." He paused, and then suggested: "I think it is better to let them come back and prepare to attack the U.S. Let the aircraft carrier formation launch the second and third waves of attack."

"Ignore Pearl Harbor for now, and concentrate on attacking the US aircraft carrier?"

"Yes! Pearl Harbor can't escape, but the US aircraft carrier is escaping!" The black island turtle suggested loudly: "If the empire can't destroy the US aircraft carrier in Hawaii, it will fight them in the South Pacific in the future. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with."

"They will be more difficult to deal with, and we will also have new combat power to join." Yamamoto 56 smiled slightly, as if thinking of something to say, he heard the exclamation of the aviation staff officer Minoru Genada.

"What! Lost 23 Type 97 attack aircraft, but didn't even sink a single aircraft carrier... [-] grids! What is the escort fleet doing? They should all be seppuku! They should be seppuku!"

"What's the matter?" Yamamoto 56 cast a dignified look at Genda.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is the report from the Soryu, Hiryu, and Shenlong fleets. They found 3 American aircraft carriers, but they were defeated by the American carrier-based aircraft and anti-aircraft guns! 97 Type 23 attack aircraft were lost. , 96 Type 6 fighter jets were lost, and the Type 98 blaster aircraft returned early due to insufficient range."

"Losing so many planes?" Hearing this report, Yamamoto 56 couldn't help being surprised, but he understood after thinking about it carefully.

There are at least 3 or 3 fighter jets on the 40 US aircraft carriers, and the performance of the F96F far exceeds that of the Type 4. Of course, 24 Type 96s cannot resist it.And our own bomber has already returned, and what remains is the easiest to shoot down torpedo attack plane... This kind of plane is big and slow, and it has to fly low and level before throwing the torpedo.If there were no dive bombers to cooperate with them to disperse the enemy's firepower, these planes would be living targets for the US ship's anti-aircraft guns and fighter jets, and it would not be surprising if they were beaten to pieces.

"Your Excellency, Commander! These U.S. aircraft carriers must not stay, or the empire's southward strategy will definitely encounter big trouble." The black island turtle man's face was uncertain, as if he was making the next big decision. "Your Excellency! Please organize a full-strength attack. All the attack planes and bombers on the carrier are dispatched, and the US aircraft carrier must be wiped out!"

"Kuroshima-kun, but the range of the Type 98 blaster is not enough!" Aviation staff officer Genda Minoru reminded.

With a sullen face, Kuroshima glanced at Genda coldly, "How could it not be enough? I remember that the Type 98 bomber has a range of 250 kilometers after it is loaded with a 800kg bomb."

"Hei Dao! You mean...there is no need to return?" Genda's mouth was wide open, almost enough to put down a salted duck egg.

"You can make an emergency landing or parachute on the sea, and then be rescued by a destroyer." Hei Dao said coldly: "Of course, there will be losses, but now it's a war! How can there be undead in a war? And the situation facing the empire is extremely difficult , not only the enemy is unprecedentedly strong, but even the allies have ulterior motives! The only thing to rely on is our combined fleet. If the combined fleet can’t show combat effectiveness beyond imagination, it will teach the Americans an unforgettable lesson, and at the same time show China and Germany the empire So powerful, does the empire still have the qualifications to form an equal alliance with China and Germany?"

Genda Minoru opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start.Of course, such things as forced landing and skydiving are out of the question.Below is the Pacific Ocean, not land!Relying on a few destroyers to rescue pilots who fell into the ocean in the ocean is almost like finding a needle in a haystack.And it's already past 1:2 p.m., and the attack should be around 98:4 p.m. Waiting for these Type 5s to run out of fuel will be around 2 or [-] p.m., and it will be dark in at most two hours. How to rescue?But Hei Dao's last analysis is also very reasonable...

"Yaoxi!" Yamamoto 56's slightly gloomy voice suddenly remembered, "Order, the 1st Air Fleet is under the command of Rear Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, and immediately pursue it at full speed to the northeast! Ugaki-kun, Kuroshima-kun, Genda-kun, immediately Make a plan for air strikes and rescue of the Type 98 crew members."

……

At 1:30 p.m., the aircraft carrier Akagi.

The officer's room was full of officers and soldiers of the Akagi flight team who had just returned, but the atmosphere was surprisingly dignified. Even the warm November sunshine near the equator that came in from outside the cabin seemed to have become a bit gloomy.In charge of today's pre-war mobilization is Lieutenant Commander Fuchida Mitsuo, captain of the Akagi Air Force.Fuchida stood beside a blackboard placed near the front of the officer's room. On the blackboard was a chart of the sea area northeast of Oahu, marking a dozen or so seas 11 nautical miles away from Oahu. A symbol that symbolizes a destroyer.Fuchita pointed to these symbols with a pointer and said with a gloomy face:

"These positions, all the pilots and navigators of the bombers must keep in mind! Because, after you complete this mission, you will not have enough fuel to return, so you can only make an emergency landing on the sea or parachute. United Fleet Destroyers will be dispatched to rescue you, and these locations are where the destroyers are located."

As soon as Fuchida finished speaking, the officer's room of the Akagi was like a fire, and more than 100 pilots (navigators) started talking about it.The crew members of the Type 96 fighter jets and Type 97 attack jets are still calm, but you and I are giving advice to the unlucky fellow pilots of the Type 98 blaster jets, such as lowering the altitude and paying attention to the sea surface when returning. For example, when you set off, bring more shochu to drink in the sea to keep out the cold.

But those members of the blaster squadron have a tragic look of "the strong man is gone and never returned".With tears in their eyes, they shouted farewell words such as "see you in Kuduanzaka" to each other.There are no rookies who can become carrier-based aircraft pilots of aircraft carriers. They are all experienced pilots. Many of them entered the aviation school after graduating from Etajima Marine School.Naturally, he knew that the "rescue and salvage" plan mentioned by Lieutenant Fuchida Mitsuo was a kind of dead horse acting as a living horse doctor, and it would be considered good to have a one-to-two chance of survival.

Seeing that the morale of the officers and soldiers of the air force was somewhat low, Fuchita Mitsuo's face gradually turned livid.Unlike in history, Yuan Tian himself is now driving a Type 98 Fleet Explosive, and this time he is also the master of the narrow escape.However, unlike those young Japanese devils who wanted to turn nine deaths into eight deaths, two lives or even seven deaths and three lives, Fuchida, who had experienced a humiliating defeat (the aircraft carrier he was on during the September 9.18th War, was sunk by the Chinese), this Suddenly, out of nowhere, I came up with an almost crazy idea.

"My lords!" These two words seemed to burst out from the depths of my heart with all my strength, and the officer's room fell silent all of a sudden, and all eyes were cast on this solemn-looking man who seemed to have "become a god" man's face.Yuan Tian scanned the crowd with cold eyes, and shouted loudly:

"As the captain of the Chicheng Air Force and also the pilot of the Type 98 ship-based blaster, I have a suggestion. Remember, it's a suggestion, not an order!" He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a few words. He was very fanatical, as if he was biting steel and iron, and said word by word: "Since returning to the voyage is a narrow escape! Then, as a warrior who finally died in the Emperor, why not abandon this body, fly the plane and die with the enemy ship, and spread the name of bravery forever Woolen cloth!"

"Yes! We cannot sacrifice in vain! We must perish with the enemy!"

"As long as one machine can be exchanged for one ship, our Empire of Japan will be able to dominate the sea!"

"One machine for one ship! Onboard the Empire of Japan! Onboard His Majesty the Emperor..."

A group of elites of the Imperial Japanese Navy, whose brains were not normal, seemed to be incited by Lieutenant Commander Fuchida Mitsuo's rhetoric, and bursts of crazy shouts came from the officer's room.Even those pilots who fly Type 96 fighter jets and Type 97 attack aircraft feel a little regretful.Of course, although our ganfuqian Goro, Major, was also yelling at the top of his voice, he suddenly thought of his beautiful wife Lin'er at home and his bright future!

……

"General! According to reports from the reconnaissance plane, the Japanese aircraft fleet was found at a distance of 20 kilometers. The enemy aircraft fleet is unprecedentedly large, with hundreds of aircraft!"

"Damn, why are these damn yellow-skinned monkeys here again!" Rear Admiral Halsey jumped up when he heard the news. I just thwarted an attack by Japanese carrier-based aircraft, but there were only 1 aircraft that time, but now there are hundreds of them!

"Order all the carrier-based fighter jets to take off to fight! The entire fleet is alerted for air raids, and all anti-aircraft firepower is on standby!"

Just after Halsey gave the order, the staff officer next to him suddenly reminded: "Sir, the size of the enemy plane seems to be too large! We should have been outside the combat radius of the Japanese Type 98 bomber by now."

"Hmph! Who knows if the information from those British guys is accurate? Maybe it's also possible that those Japanese devils didn't even intend to go back alive! This group of lunatics..." Halsey looked at the people on the flight deck below who were preparing to take off. F4F Wildcat fighter said worriedly: "We still have too few fighters. The three aircraft carriers together only have more than 3. I don't know if we can stop this group of crazy Japanese devils?"

"Major Itaya, you are in charge of commanding all fighter squadrons, and you must entangle the American F4F at all costs!" Lieutenant Mitsuo Fuchida, who served as the commander-in-chief of the air raid, looked at dozens of F4F Wildcat fighters waiting in full force not far away. , frowned, and issued the first order with a poor-quality Japanese-made airborne radio.Then he ordered loudly: "Mr. Gan Fu, the torpedo fleet is under your command! After our bombers launch the first wave of attack, the torpedo planes will follow up, understand?"

"Hi!" The voices of Itaya and Ganfu came from the earphones, obviously they heard Fuchida's order clearly.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you didn't hear clearly, everything was planned long ago. The Type 96 fights against the F4F at all costs, as long as it can delay for a while and create a chance for some Type 98 ships to launch suicide attacks!The think tanks of the Japanese United Fleet believed that once the U.S. Navy with more steel and less energy saw the suicide attack of the Japanese samurai, it would definitely panic and be in chaos!At this time, the Type 97 torpedo attack aircraft seized the opportunity to launch a torpedo attack, and it will surely achieve unexpected and huge results.

"Order the fighter jets not to entangle with the Japanese Type 96, and stop their Type 98 bombers at all costs! They must not be allowed to approach the aircraft carrier."
