Five Hundred and Twenty Nine Tragedies

"..." The American general really wanted to check the calendar to see if today is April Fool's Day. His subordinates actually told him to sound the battle alarm, so that dozens of naval warships in the entire naval port were ready for battle. Did no one tell them what the consequences would be if they did so?

"Did you make a mistake, today...is Sunday..." Finally, the general replied to his subordinates a little dull.

When all the U.S. Navy soldiers were enjoying the sloppy sun on Sunday morning, the Japanese pilots were already close to the target of this attack. Dozens of U.S. warships were just parked in the port, even including the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier enterprise No.

"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 hadn't realized that the danger had come. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, not knowing why they were elf for a while.

An American soldier was brushing his teeth, and he didn't stop his movements after hearing the alarm bell. He stood on the deck and watched the planes gradually approaching his battleship in the distance, breathing the fresh air and feeling the cool sea breeze.

But when he widened his eyes and saw clearly that there was a huge red sun symbol on the wing of the flying plane, he didn't know what he should do next.

"Japanese... Japanese aircraft!" With foam in his mouth, he was so frightened that he crawled back to the cabin, shouting loudly to the naval 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 shirtless.

"The Japanese! The Japanese are calling!" the soldier who was brushing his teeth swallowed the foam in one gulp and said loudly.

But with his scream, the first bomb dropped by the Japanese had already landed on the USS Arizona battleship not far away. The huge explosion set off a dazzling flame, which suddenly woke up all the American soldiers who were still sleepwalking.

"Thug! Chug!" A Japanese fighter jet sprayed flames and strafed over the head of the U.S. warship, and the machine gun hit the steel, bursting out sparks. The American sailors running outside the hull were shot and fell down one after another, blood dripping down the hollowed-out iron stairs,

In the end, the wooden battleship deck was stained red.

"Bah bah bah!" Because the battle alarm was sounded in advance, the United States did not completely sit still this time. Some soldiers did come to their combat posts tens of seconds earlier, and now they can report to those soldiers immediately. The sky target opened fire.

As an anti-aircraft artillery position on the battleship suddenly fired into trouble, the Japanese pilots were caught off guard and quickly adjusted their flying posture, so the torpedo under the fuselage lost its angle. He passed by and hit a destroyer not far away.

"Major! They are fighting back! They are fighting back!" A pilot looked in horror at the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the American warships not far away, and called to his commander. He kept changing the flight trajectory of the plane, and finally found a warship that was not firing, and hurriedly dropped his bomb on it.

Another huge explosion came, and the Japanese aerial bomb hit another American battleship. The command room of the battleship was hit by a bomb, and a huge flame rose immediately. At this time, more than a dozen aircraft were forming an attack formation, swooping down and dropping bombs on the USS Enterprise.

As the battle began, American soldiers on the ground began to run to their anti-aircraft artillery positions. There were many weapons and equipment that could meet Japanese aircraft. This is the main military port of the United States, and the anti-aircraft firepower is naturally absolutely dense and powerful.

However, the Japanese aircraft obviously expected this. Most of the anti-aircraft artillery positions in the US port have been marked on the map by Japanese intelligence personnel. These anti-aircraft artillery positions are the main targets of the Japanese Zero fighter jets this time.

The Zero fighter jet can carry two 60kg aerial bombs, which can be used to bomb these fixed anti-aircraft firepower, so when these American air defense forces who have just entered their positions are shaking the handle in a hurry to raise the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun, the Japanese Zero The fighter jets swooped down in the sky.

I have to say that the US troops who have been out of battle for a long time are not very strict in their training on weekdays. They are used to dealing with various exercises and are more lazy and procrastinated on weekends. When they heard the alarm, they subconsciously regarded this attack as a realistic one. The exercise was not immediately organized to launch a counterattack.

After they confirmed that this attack was not a show, the disaster had indeed happened and the tragedy had been cast. Most of the densely packed and almost impeccable anti-aircraft artillery positions were blown into ruins by the Japanese naval aviation before they fired back. Many soldiers died in battle on their gun positions, only one step away from firing back at the opponents who took their lives. .

"Boom!" The battleship Arizona was hit by an aerial bomb for the second time. Now the battleship began to roll, but the speed was not too fast. Because of the sparse anti-aircraft fire nearby, the Japanese bombing was not as accurate as expected, which left a certain amount of reaction time for many American warships.

However, the Japanese pilots are indeed well-trained. They began to adjust the rhythm of the attack, giving priority to attacking those warships whose anti-aircraft firepower has not been deployed, so that the attack speed can be guaranteed and the attack can be achieved within the specified time. Greater victories.

One after another, American battleships exploded and caught fire, and the port was filled with smoke. The US Navy soldiers began to jump into the sea to escape on a large scale, because their battleships were now slowly sinking. Japanese planes flew over the American soldiers on the sea at low altitude, and used the machine guns on their planes to sweep out bloody paths in the sea water one after another.

"The battleship USS Arizona is sinking! I saw it sinking! Contact their captain! Let them start damage control immediately!" The destroyer captain on the side shouted loudly to his subordinates.

However, his soldiers are in a mess at this moment, some are looking for their pets everywhere, some are eager to put life buoys on themselves, and more people shoot at the sky with everything they can find, hoping to drive away those Lingering Japanese fighter force.

The Japanese torpedo hit the American battleship again, this time it was the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. The aircraft carrier was already on fire because of the bullet on the deck. To add insult to injury. The sailors on duty above had given up the rescue, and they dived to escape, trying to stay away from the irreparable battleship behind them.

"This is the Pacific Navy Fleet! Our fleet has been attacked by the Japanese army! The port is in chaos! Ask for support! Ask for support!" A loud cry for help came from a radio receiver that was thrown on the ground, and the radio receiver's voice Next to it, lay a beauty officer who was bleeding from all seven orifices.

This is the airport control tower of the U.S. Army Air Corps. It was smashed into a sieve by a Japanese plane a minute ago. The officers and airport dispatchers inside have all died. The only survivor is crying and trying to get himself back. arm.

The ground airport in the United States was attacked by Japanese planes at the same time, and this place has long been turned into a sea of ​​​​flames. Hundreds of new American P-40 fighter jets neatly placed on the ground seemed to be deliberately prepared targets for Japanese aircraft. These fragile war weapons were destroyed in groups on the ground and turned into piles of burning scrap iron.

The U.S. base in Hawaii, which has lost its airport, is even more vulnerable. Japanese planes are raging in the sky, and the U.S. fleet can do nothing but struggle at this moment. One American warship after another was sunk by the Japanese navy. Some cruisers knocked over the lifeboats while lifting anchor and fleeing. The blood of American soldiers stained the entire harbor in the sea.

A few minutes later, with a huge explosion, the battleship Pennsylvania was detonated in its ammunition bay, and exploded like a ignited firecracker, breaking in two in a second. Only two minutes later, the battleship was completely stranded and sank in Pearl Harbor.

Just ten minutes later, the USS Enterprise sank together with the USS Lexington, sinking to the bottom of the sea in their own berths. Only one flagpole of the Lexington remained above the sea, and the American flag on it was still fluttering against the sea breeze.

"Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan!" In Washington, a secretary grabbed the phone receiver and looked at his boss, President Roosevelt, waiting for him to issue a series of countermeasure orders. The secretary had a horrified expression on his face, because at this moment he couldn't even believe that the United States would be attacked by other countries.

At this time, Roosevelt couldn't see any expression. He didn't know whether he was excited that the United States could finally find an excuse to join the war, or whether he should feel sad for the American soldiers who were being attacked.

"The aircraft carrier fleet has been severely damaged, and the Japanese air raids have not yet ended. It has just been confirmed that the USS Enterprise has sunk, and there is no specific news about the other warships." The secretary said with a trembling voice: "Pearl Harbor The fleet suffered heavy losses! Mr. President!"

"Immediately order a counterattack! You can't sit still!" Roosevelt seemed to have come to his senses, and he ordered to his subordinates: "Prepare the speech, and the United States will immediately declare war on the enemy who provokes us!"
