Chapter 160: Air strike! Burning Pearl Harbor! (III)

In just half an hour, the main fleet of the U.S. Navy suffered terrible losses.

After consuming seven torpedoes in a row, the largest and latest "Arizona" in the fleet tilted heavily within a few minutes, and the bottom of the ship was exposed out of the sea. Although the captain ordered an emergency injection of water to the starboard side to level, he was unable to turn the sky back. The warship quickly sank, and the hull of more than 30,000 tons, finally penetrated into the 12-meter-deep seabed in a 30-degree left position.

The Oklahoma and the Texas each ate six torpedoes. The former was able to slowly sink vertically because they closed the watertight door in time and poured water into the starboard side, and the side was close to the Nevada. The latter sank into the sea bottom before any remedies were taken.

The "Akan's" was hit by five torpedoes. Due to the effective pipe damage measures, the hull was controlled when it was tilted at 5 degrees, but it lost power due to water inlet in the boiler compartment.

Under the shield of four armored cruisers docked at the East Coast Pier (the tall masts hindered the entry of the torpedo plane), the Uta only ate three torpedoes and the North Dakota ate four. The former was not damaged in power and began a tense fire-raising and anchor operation under the command of Lieutenant General Emley, the commander of the Second Team of the Battleship; although the latter controlled the tilt, it was unable to operate due to damage to the servo and propeller.

The five warships outside the West Parking Field sank quickly without exception!

As the first-class fearless warship in the United States, the 16,000-ton "Michigan" has not improved much in terms of underwater defense compared to the previous old warships. After hitting six torpedoes in a row, it slashed to the left, with the bottom of the ship facing the sky and turning it into the sea.

Not to mention the fate of the other four old battleships: After the Louisiana ate the fifth torpedo, a big explosion suddenly occurred in the front. In an instant, the entire hull almost popped out of the sea, and the thick smoke column suddenly rose into the air for hundreds of meters... The battleship broke in half and sank into the seabed. The explosion of four debris shots also swept the entire starboard side of the "Connecticut" anchored on its inside and was beyond recognition.

The Minnesota was hit by as many as seven torpedoes in succession, and the entire starboard side fell completely apart, almost at a standard 90-degree angle.

The New Jersey only ate four torpedoes under the screens of the cruisers near Cape Pearl, but for the old warships with extremely weak underwater protection, this strike was too much - it penetrated to the right in just a few minutes.

The "Georgia" was hit by three torpedoes. Although water injection measures were taken in time, sinking was inevitable. The battleship's front deck quickly submerged into the water - until the 305mm main gun muzzle on its weird double-decker just inserted into the sea.

Cruisers near Cape Pearl were also attacked. The 10,000-ton armored cruisers "Frederick" and "Huntington" each shot one torpedo. Although they were tilted at one point, they did not cause too much damage.

The Ford Island seaplane base and Hickam Airport were repeatedly swept by Chinese fighters with machine guns and bombs. The tents as temporary hangars were burning one after another. Although some people bravely pushed out several planes from the tent, none of them was able to take off successfully - either the pilot was hit or the plane was fired.

As the torpedo attack aircraft flew towards the sea northwest of Pearl Harbor one after another to allow the whole team to return, a brief silence occurred in the harbor - only a few fighter jets were still persistently sweeping and shooting repeatedly to Hickam Airport south of the harbor.

Taking advantage of this short attack, the unharmed ships in the port urgently raised fire and anchored. The sailors carried ammunition and medicine toward the high-fire gun and high-fire machine gun battle positions. The barge quickly drove towards the injured ship - a high-pressure faucet - and shot out a long column of water.

The new type of warships that were damaged began to leak heavy oil in large quantities. The officers and soldiers who fell into the water struggled desperately in the viscous oil. Fortunately, the oil layer had not caught fire yet. However, the warships that had quickly sunk generated huge suction. Countless sailors were swept into the death vortex, and more sailors were trapped in the sunken and overturned ship...

Looking at the smoke-filled harbor, General Evanley ordered viciously: "The enemy came from the north and ordered Major General Dresci and Brigadier General Duke's cruiser troops to immediately turn to the north of Oahu for search! All the ships that can move out of the port as fast as possible and are ready to launch a counterattack on the enemy!"

Major General Dresey's four armored cruisers were patrolling 300 nautical miles southwest of Oahu. The four protective cruisers of Brigadier Duke were 250 nautical miles west of Oahu. It took a lot of time to rush to the position where the enemy fleet might launch an attack to launch a search. Admiral Evanley's most reliable is actually the cruisers in the port.

The silence was quickly broken.

08:55, the second attack wave of the Chinese army arrived over Pearl Harbor.

The second attack wave was sent by the Dapeng and Yunpeng, each of which sent 21 ship attacks, 6 ship battles and 4 ship reconnaissances, each of which sent 12 ship attacks, 6 ship battles and 4 ship reconnaissances, a total of 64 ship attacks, 24 ship battles and 16 ship reconnaissances, a total of 104. Except for the 4 squadrons, 24 ship attacks, carrying torpedoes to carry out supplementary attacks, the remaining aircraft carried bombs (the "Yowhawk" ship attack carried 1 250 kilogram bombs, 4 50 kilogram bombs, the "Dongfeng" ship reconnaissance carried 1 250 kilogram bombs, and the "Sea Lightning" fighter carried 2 25 kilogram bombs). While the "Sea Lightning" fighter used machine guns and small bombs to suppress the opponent's air defense firepower, the "Yowhawk" and "Dongfeng" carrying bombs carried horizontal bombs on enemy ships that could not be attacked with torpedoes.

As the two red 'color' signal flares on the command plane jumped high, the attack aircraft group was divided into several routes, and each selected target to enter the attack route.

"Pearl Harbor! We're here!"

Facing the thick smoke harbor, Lieutenant Cai Guolan of the 504th Ship War Squadron shouted excitedly.

Pull down the goggles, lower the head of the machine, and to the north of the main parking lot, the largest fat pig is... "Pennsylvania" level! That's right, it's you! You are going to slaughter today!

There was a sudden loud noise in his ears, and the fuselage shook violently for a while. Cai Guolan felt that his intestines were almost shaking out - what? High-fire cannon?

I saw clearly that on the small platform behind the chimney, there was smoke everywhere, and red light flashed rapidly - it should be right, it was there!

Press the lever, step on the accelerator, and get on!

American, let me talk about it!

I'm getting closer, and in addition to the sound of wind and whistling bullets, the enemy's machine gun is shooting here! Don't worry about so many, the only task now is to kill that high-fire cannon!

Baby, don't be afraid, I will help you repair your skin after you go back-

The distance is enough! Fire! Two eight-year-old heavy machine guns on the front of the machine sprayed dense bullets from between the propellers, and the 'fire' hit for one second or two seconds? I didn't have time to think about it, so I pulled down the bomb drop handle with force, and the fuselage suddenly floated lightly. It's time! Pull the rod! Lift my head up!

When the scenes of warships and harbors were completely replaced by blue sky and broken clouds, Cai Guolan looked back and saw two weak smoke pillars disproportionately rising slowly.

Has it hit?

The problem flashed, the red light flashed in his eyes, and the plane vibrated violently, and the shoulders were hurting!
