Chapter 966 Tiger, Tiger, Tiger
"Hey, what's in the radio?" In Pearl Harbor, a soldier on duty on the shore came in with a cup of coffee. He saw his tape connected to the radio, and moved a bit. Suddenly, it was quite strange.
He flipped the switch and put on his earphones. He listened to the contents of the tape. Suddenly, his expression changed. He didn't care about the coffee being spilled everywhere, so he hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Hey, I'm Private George, please connect me to Air Defense Command immediately, there's an emergency," he called to the operator on the other side of the phone.
However, for a long time, the line is full of busy tones.
These damned officers, even the one on duty slipped away! Private George was quite speechless. He could only run out a few steps and said to the assistant on the basketball court outside: "Quick, you answer the radio, I'll go to the headquarters immediately."
There is only one street away from the headquarters, and it only takes a few minutes for him to run over.
But, just a few minutes, it was too late.
In fact, just half an hour ago, a radar station in the northern part of Oahu found an unknown plane 132 nautical miles north of the island. When the radar station reported the sighting of unidentified planes to the Air Defense Command, they thought those planes were B-17 bombers from the mainland, so ignore them!
After that, the officers on duty in the headquarters went down to have breakfast, and there was no one left behind.
Not far away is the port of Pearl Harbor. In this natural harbor, a large number of warships are docked at this time.
The battleship "Arisaan" is located at the northernmost side of the docked warship in the port. More than 1,000 sailors on this warship are still sleeping inside the battleship. Only a few sailors are moving on the deck. When the sky appears in the distance When the roar of the plane, they could not help but raised their heads and looked into the sky.
what plane is that?
They couldn't help but raised their heads and looked at the sky. They saw that the planes in the sky were really special. Those wings were like seagulls!
"Look, don't you know?" a sailor said: "This aircraft is the latest fighter jet developed by our Navy, the F-4U Corsair. The engine of this aircraft has a full 2,000 horsepower!"
Historically, the pirate attack aircraft was developed in 38 years and entered service in 42 years. Like Stuka, it adopts inverted seagull wings. Now, the development of this aircraft has accelerated, and a small number of aircraft have already entered service. .
The sailor, who just knew it, is now proudly introducing to his companion: "Do you know the advantages of inverted seagull wings?"
He looked at the others and was even more happy when he saw that they were all looking towards him: "The pirate plane has a large-sized propeller installed on the nose. A longer nose landing gear needs to be designed, but the long landing gear will make it difficult to retract after take-off, and the strength is not guaranteed, so the designer bent the wings down a certain distance to compensate for the height of the landing gear.”
This is definitely professional knowledge, and he has only recently learned about it. The admiring eyes of the people around him make him very satisfied.
But later, a companion said: "No, why are there bombs hanging under their belly?"
The speed of the plane in the sky is very fast. They first saw the most obvious inverted seagull wing, and then they saw something hanging under the belly.
"That should be the auxiliary fuel tank for the transition." The sailor continued to show off his knowledge: "I can guarantee that they definitely flew directly from the mainland, which is amazing!"
"Impossible, a single-seat plane can't fly so far, and it's only morning, are they going to take off in the early morning?" The companion next to him had begun to refute him.
This hurt the sailor's self-esteem. He stood up and tried to reason with his companions. At this moment, another sailor had shouted loudly: "No, it is diving at us!"
Dive into us? The showy sailor looked at the sky in the distance. Indeed, the other party was diving. What did these naval pilots want to do? Are you making fun of yourself like that?
In the eyes of Fujita Yoshizang, he was already occupied by his own target. The target of his attack was the 30,000-ton-class battleship "Arisauna"!
As the first aircraft of the first attack echelon, he did not hesitate, and almost immediately entered the attack route after discovering the target.
Inverted seagull wings, there is another advantage, you can maintain a high enough strength in the violent vibration of diving!
As a trainee from Germany, as a pilot who successfully completed all the training subjects and was praised by Rudel, Fujita Yoshiyuki was quite skilled in attacking movements.
Aim for the position of the battleship's guns!
The armor there is the thickest, and it also means that once it hits there, the opponent will definitely be half-crippled if it doesn't die. You must know that below the naval gun is the ammunition depot.
The USS Arizona belongs to the Pennsylvania class, built during the First World War, with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons and four 356mm turrets mounted in three mounts.
What Fujita Yoshiyuki aimed at was the No. 2 turret, the front position in the middle of the hull!
In the last test, Fujita Yoshihide's performance was excellent. His bombing accuracy was comparable to the precision-guided munitions of later generations. Now, he is attacking in an orderly manner. In the air, he pressed a button.
When the terrifying bomb, dragging its tail of flames, flew towards the Arizona, the sailors on the deck reacted, no, this is the enemy!
Unfortunately, it's too late!
The bomb, dragging its flaming tongue, penetrated precisely from the weakest armor on the top of the turret, smashing several decks, all the way to the lowest ammunition depot.
Then, a huge explosion sounded.
The entire turret was shaken off! The 3,000-ton Hexokine explosive was detonated. In the huge explosion, the entire battleship became two sections. In almost a minute, it sank into the sea, leaving only a whirlpool on the sea.
The sailor who escaped from the dead was struggling to swim to the shore. At this time, the entire port had become a hellish scene.
The fighter planes with the inverted seagull wings swooped down from the air, the underside of the fuselage was on fire, and flew to the various ships. Then, a huge explosion sounded, and the whole port soon rose. Black smoke.
Sneak attack, this is a shameless sneak attack!
Countless number of planes rushed towards Pearl Harbor. In addition to the ships in the port, various targets on land were also attacked.
The entire Pearl Harbor was shaking.
"Tiger, tiger, tiger!" The radio waves traveled back excitedly.
