Supported by the intelligence transmitted by Chinese and Western Gong, General Zhukov, who was responsible for commanding the Battle of Moscow, made up his mind and concentrated all the forces that the Soviet army could concentrate. Even the newly built T-34 tanks and Kaqiusha rocket launchers were put into battle.
The army finally launched its first counterattack since the war started on December 6 in the Moscow defense line. Please remember.
The Soviet army was counterattacking, but the German army gathered at the city of Moscow was in a desperate situation. Not to mention tanks, cars, and armored vehicles could no longer drive. On December 6 alone, the German army, which did not resist the severe cold equipment, was frozen to death and frostbite.
People, the elite German Central Army shivered in the severe winter of Moscow and no longer had the momentum of launching a blitzkrieg.
The Soviet counterattack only began for two days. On December 8, the mad demon Hitler had to issue an order to turn to defense on the entire Soviet-German battlefield. Since the blitzkrieg attack on Poland, the invincible German army finally hit a wall under the city of Moscow!
December 8 is a critical time point in the entire World War II.
The alliance between jackals is unreliable. The Germans were eagerly looking forward to the Japanese army being able to attack the Soviet Union from the eastern front. As a result, the Japanese army made a standstill with the Soviet Union after occupying the Far East. Now, the German army is frozen under the city of Moscow.
The reason was in trouble, and the Japanese army continued to play a role, but not only did the Japanese army not have the same role as Rahitler and the German army, but on the contrary, for the sake of their own oil problems, they would provoke the United States, which should not be provoked.
Just when Hitler had to order the German army to enter defense on the Soviet-German battlefield, that morning, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet "Akagi", "Kaga", "Aolong", "Flying Dragon", and Shochi,
The assault formation composed of six aircraft carriers of the Ruihe ships launched a raid on Pearl Harbor, the US Pacific Fleet base, under the command of Navy Lieutenant General Tadichi Nakamoto.
Pearl Harbor is located in the Hawaiian Islands in the eastern part of the Pacific between Japan and the United States. It is located in the east of the west coast of the United States, the west of Japan, the southwest of the island group, and the north of Alaska and the Bering Strait. It is both between 2,000 nautical miles and 3,000 nautical miles, and is on the Pacific Ocean.
The important transportation hub, the planes traveling south and north across the Pacific Ocean, all use Hawaii as the central station. It is also the most important base of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet.
The reason why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor was helpless. The Japanese army needed oil so much. They drilled everywhere in the Northeast with exploration resources as a cover. They found no trace of oil even after drilling 800 meters. They had to believe that the Americans did not have any Northeast.
The saying of oil
In fact, the Japanese were too impatient. They gave up after drilling to 800 meters. If they drilled down 200 meters, oil might be produced. You should know that the shallowest oil layer in the Daqing Oilfield is only about 1,000 meters. The Daqing Oilfield is the first.
A well, Matsuki Mitsui, only the oil layer between 1357 and 1382 meters was drilled and oiled out. This little Japanese is too impetuous and is destined to accomplish nothing.
Oil cannot be found in such a huge China, and the Central Sumatra Oilfield, Sumatra Oilfield, East Kalimantan Oilfield and other oil fields in the East Indies have become life-saving straws in the eyes of the Japanese. They must be saved.
!If you want to capture Southeast Asia and seize these oil fields from the British and American colonists, the first thing you need to solve is the US Pacific Fleet. Otherwise, Japan will face the danger of the route being cut off or even the local area being bombed and attacked. Therefore, the joint fleet will
The plan to attack Pearl Harbor, which was fabricated by Commander Iroku Yamamoto, was approved by Emperor Hirohito in amid the quarrels within the Japanese army.
Unlike in history, the Japanese joint fleet assault formation sneaked into Pearl Harbor because of the experience of raiding sea cucumber power, the navy was full of confidence.
According to Yamamoto Iroru, this sneak attack on Pearl Harbor can achieve a strategic advantage in the Pacific battlefield for about one year. For this reason, it is worth taking the risk of destroying at least three aircraft carriers of the US Pacific Fleet in one battle and establishing Japan's military.
Advantages. Considering the temperament of the Americans, Yamamoto Irosaki asked the embassy in the United States to submit the ultimatum to the US 30 minutes before the attack begins, that is, 13:00 on December 7, US time, to fight the US with a public declaration of war.
The will to resist.
At 6:10 am on December 8, the commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet assault formation, who received the attack order from the base camp, ordered the first wave of 183 bombers of the assault formation located 220 nautical miles north of Oahu Island, Pearl Harbor. The fighter took off and
At 7:15, Natsuki Nagashi ordered the second wave of 167 planes to take off.
At this time, Pearl Harbor and the US military airport on Oahu were still immersed in tranquility. Japanese planes flew over in a swagger. When they received the radar soldiers, the US military commander of Pearl Harbor who was observing the post did not attract attention.
Japanese planes rushed into the military port in a low-altitude flight attitude and began to bombard the US commander of Pearl Harbor suddenly realized that this was not an exercise, but an attack!
The aviation bomb was exploding and the onboard machine gun was firing. The peaceful Pearl Harbor was instantly trapped in the baptism of blood and fire.
The US military was not timid. The battleship Nevada took the lead in firing, shot down two Japanese planes, and was also attacked by a torpedo. Just 10 minutes after the attack, Honolulu Radio Station interrupted its normal program and reported that Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese troops.
All soldiers were called to return to their combat posts, fight against the Japanese army, and defend Pearl Harbor. At 8:10, the ammunition depot in the front of the battleship Arizona was shot and exploded, and sank 9 minutes later, and 80% of the crew members were killed.
At 8:12, Hawaii's supreme commander Walter Short reported to the entire Pacific Fleet and Washington: "The battle with Japan began with an attack on Pearl Harbor."
During the war, people were more vigilant. Before the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army had already occupied Vietnam and had a good relationship with Thailand, and their ambitions were obvious. Although there was still isolationist thought in the United States, as far as President Roosevelt was concerned,
As for the Pacific Fleet, they were preparing for war. Because they knew that the United States should join the war. If they delayed it, when Germany defeated the Soviet Union and defeated Europe, the United States would be unable to support the war. With the intelligence from China, Roosevelt
It should be warned, and it is likely that the three aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet suddenly left the port early. However, no one, including China's intelligence, would have thought that the first target of the Japanese army was Pearl Harbor.
This is mainly because Pearl Harbor is a natural good harbor. The islands outside the military port are densely covered with defense circles, which are not suitable for sneak attacks. The Americans never dreamed that the Japanese Navy would be so bold and attack Pearl Harbor!
Air bombs are exploding, torpedoes are exploding, US warships in Pearl Harbor are catching fire, exploding, sinking, and planes in the airport on Oahu are exploding, explode. Pearl Harbor groans in the Japanese air raid.
As Japanese planes raged, the bloodiness of the US military in Pearl Harbor was completely aroused, and the soldiers rushed to machine guns and fired in the air. Some brave pilots rushed to the plane, took off forcibly, and tried to fly the plane to meet the enemy.
At 8:50, the second wave of attack aircraft group of Japanese troops attacked Pearl Harbor arrived at Pearl Harbor, and the commander ordered the attack.
The Japanese air strikes lasted until 9:45, and the Japanese planes that had won a great victory returned one after another. By 10 o'clock, the first wave of Japanese attack aircraft group had returned to the ship.
At 11:15, the U.S. Governor of Hawaii announced martial law in the entire Hawaiian territory on radio. At 13:30, Nagamoto Tadichi decided to cancel the third wave of attacks and ordered the fleet to return.
At the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army achieved brilliant results. With just two waves of attacks, they sank 4 battleships of the US Pacific Fleet, destroyed 188 aircraft, seriously injured 3 battleships, 6 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and thousands of casualties in the US
Famous officers and soldiers. Japan lost only 29 aircraft, 55 pilots and several pocket submarines.
What made the Americans extremely angry was that the Japanese army once again declared war and declared war on the United States by sneak attacks.
Because the Japanese Embassy in the United States failed to print out the telegram text of the ultimatum that Japan declared war on the United States within the designated time of Yamamoto Irosaki, it was 40 minutes late for Yoshisaburo Nomura to submit it to US Secretary of State Hull. At this time, Pearl
The port has been attacked for 20 minutes, and President Roosevelt has received reports of Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses.
After receiving the ultimatum submitted by Yoshisaburo Nomura, Hull pretended to read it patiently, then raised his head, looked coldly at the sinister and cunning Japanese envoy in front of him, and said with grief and anger: "This is my fifty-year position."
Never seen such a mean government and such a hypocritical and distorted document in the years!”
Nomura Yoshisaburo's expression remained unchanged and silently endured Hull's reprimand!
President Roosevelt saw the ultimatum from Japan sent by Hull, and suddenly stood up with the table and said hatefully: "Today is a shameless (--the fastest update for the house.
ef="
) days!”
Almost at the same time as the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Army General Takaichi Teraune-Souichi, more than 400,000 Japanese Southern Army were divided into several groups to launch attacks on Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Myanmar, and in Kota Balu and Thailand in the northern Malay Peninsula.
Songkhla successfully landed in the North and the Great Year of the South.
Japan has completely declared war on Britain and the United States!
Later that day, Britain, the United States and the Netherlands jointly declared war on Japan! The Pacific War broke out completely!
President Roosevelt, who was dragging his body and roaring angryly, did not expect that Liu Yimin, who was in the east of the world, from the Shandong Central and Southern Shandong base in Dadian, the Shandong Military Region Command of the Eighth Route Army, received the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, called Huang Wei and made a speech.
, The first sentence at the beginning was "Today is a shameless day!"
It was already evening at this time. The light of the horse lantern reflected Liu Yimin's handsome and resolute face, which made Huang Wei feel bitter. However, she had no time to taste the pain in her heart. Liu Yimin's words were filled with sorrow and anger.
It deeply infects her.
