Chapter 962 The Carrier Aircraft Takes Off

As a backup force, the 50th Squadron can operate not many weapons. Most of the advanced specialized anti-ship bombs imported from Germany are on six specialized aircraft carriers, and only two are given to them.

After all, this tanker-modified aircraft carrier does not have a special hangar at all, and the temporarily modified arsenal is also very narrow. Most of them are ordinary aircraft bombs. There are only two such powerful weapons.

One is assigned to an aircraft carrier, and whoever mounts this bomb must complete the mission!

Almost everyone is rushing to mount bombs, and their awareness of fighting is very high.

Pearl Harbor.

Located on Oahu, it is a tribe in the Hawaiian Islands and the seat of the state capital of Hawaii. There is only one dredged channel with a depth of 13.7 meters in and out, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is quite similar to Scapa Flow.

Because the Hawaiian Islands are located in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, they are the transportation hub in the Pacific Ocean. They were initially independent kingdoms, then colonized by Spain, and then captured by the United States from Spain in 1898.

After that, Pearl Harbor belonged to the United States, and until now, the United States has built ship repair yards, dry docks, fuel supply stations, docks and necessary naval facilities in Pearl Harbor, from which it can easily radiate to East Asia.

With the rise of the island country, the United States attaches more importance to Pearl Harbor, and built submarines and aviation bases here. Last year, German submarines came to the Pacific to make trouble. Pearl Harbor raised its security level and sent a large number of warships to the Pacific Ocean. Search on.

And now, with the Pacific calming down again, the Pearl Harbor base is the same as before.

The situation in Europe is extremely dangerous, but in the United States, isolationism is still very serious, and not many people are willing to be involved in the war. For them, warm sunshine, beautiful beaches, and countless exciting things Beauty, this kind of life is what they want most.

Today is Sunday. Most of the senior naval officers have already left their positions. Officers and soldiers are also human beings and need to rest. Most of their families are on the island of Hawaii. This Sunday is the day they reunite with their families.

The genius has just dawned. At this time, on the sea 220 nautical miles north of Oahu, a huge fleet is accelerating at full speed.

From the chimneys of each aircraft carrier, thick black smoke came out, and the deck and rear of the aircraft carrier were densely packed with carrier-based aircraft.

All of them are Stukas with inverted seagull wings. Since the German bombers were exported to the island countries, the island countries gritted their teeth and sent their own 97 ships to the shore, which were loaded on the aircraft carrier. Most of them are Stukas, and these are the first aircraft to take off now.

Fujita Yi and Zang were sitting in his plane. A 1-ton PC1000RS bomb had been mounted on the centerline of his belly. He was very excited at this time. Inside his flight cap, he was wearing a white cloth from before the expedition. .

In the headset, an order finally came. He fully opened the accelerator and released the brakes. The Stuka's engine roared, and the fighter rolled forward. With the help of the deck wind, the Stuka bomber was at the end of the deck, easily pulling When he got up, he gently pulled the lever back, and the fighter continued to climb.

Behind him, the machine gunner was also extremely excited, watching the fighter planes take off from the deck.

Soon, hundreds of fighter planes took off, forming in the air, flying in the direction of Pearl Harbor.

On the bridge of the Akagi, Nagumo Chuichi looked at these planes with the same excitement. No matter how much hesitant he had been at the beginning, now, when the battle had begun, he, like everyone else, was only looking forward to victory.

Beside him, Rudel was relaxed.

All along, as the island country's military advisor, Rudel has provided opinions one by one. If this attack succeeds, there is no doubt that Rudel will also be one of the heroes. If the attack fails, um, the people of the island country will die anyway.

Rudel has always been bold because he doesn't have to worry about the loss of his troops.

However, now, he has a strong hunch that this attack will be quite smooth.

Roosevelt, he couldn't wait to have an excuse to go to war. He made a few jokes about turning the United States into a wartime system, but it was a pity that Germany was messed up again and again.

This time, it is finally real bullying, what will the Americans do?

Let the United States and the island countries consume each other's strength in the war!

"The Ryuta Maru also received an order. When we took off, the Ryuta Maru was also flying fighter planes. They should have arrived at the battlefield earlier than our fighter planes." Nagumo Chuichi said: "Also, two hours ago, from In China, there are two G5N deep mountain bombers that have already taken off, according to the time, they should be able to catch up with our second wave of bombing."

The deep mountain bomber, after receiving the German DB605 liquid-cooled engine as a last resort, was originally dissatisfied with the designer, but the test flight showed good performance.

This engine is quite mature and reliable. After being installed on the aircraft, it immediately meets the performance requirements, and the fuel consumption rate is low, which increases the actual range!

Historically, many bombers faced the problem of engine overheating during the development process. The same is true for the American B-29. It was not until after the war that the engine overheating problem was completely solved.

The liquid-cooled engine, inherently has this advantage. The biggest problem plaguing the bomber was solved. The deep mountain bomber was quickly finalized almost after it was installed on the plane.

The bomber is in intense production, and the two prototypes can't wait to take part in this operation, and it will take time to fly from a distant homeland.

Rudel nodded. It is impossible for the islanders to import the German Junkers-290, but the islanders develop their own bombers, but Germany supports them. All of this is for the benefit of Germany.

They want to replicate the success of Scapa Flow, so let them try, but there's one last question.

"When are you going to declare war on America?" Rudel said.

When the surprise attack on Scapa Flow, the British had already declared war, but the British were too careless, believing that Germany did not have the strength to attack them, and now, the island country and the United States are just economic disputes, if the island country Before the sneak attack, if no war was declared against the United States, it would simply be intolerable for the Americans.

"This, I don't know, we are only responsible for combat." Nagumo Zhongyi said.

Declare war, that's a politician's business, as a soldier, only responsible for fighting wars.
