Chapter 173 Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! (2)
Later generations of the American Empire Hollywood DreamWorks filmed a bloody love triangle version of Pearl Harbor. In the movie, two male protagonists easily defeated the Zero fighter in a P-40 fighter, but this is completely impossible in reality.
The Zero fighter was developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Japan, and started to be put into service in 1939. This aircraft was the main carrier-based fighter in Japan during World War II and was also the largest-produced fighter at that time.
The Zero Type has a very excellent aerodynamic layout. Due to the use of new hard aluminum alloy, this also makes it 30% lighter than the same type of American Imperial aircraft, which also makes its speed far exceed that of the US Imperial fighter jets of the same period.
The boasted sailor saw the red circle on the plane's fuselage and hurriedly shouted: "This is not our plane, this is the Japanese plane!"
Another sailor next to him asked in a daze: "Strange, what are the Japanese planes coming over?"
Later, another companion shouted louder: "It was an enemy attack, and there were bombs hanging under their belly! Sound the alarm!"
"No, they are swooping towards us!"
Because the incident happened suddenly, the duty personnel on the US warships were suddenly panicked.
Saburo Saburo stared at the bottom. The attention of the Japanese ace pilot was already occupied by his own target. His target was the USS Arizona battleship of the 30,000-ton class!
As the first aircraft of the first attack echelon, he did not hesitate at all. Almost immediately entered the attack route after discovering the target.
As an outstanding student from the Sasebo Naval Corps, as a pilot who successfully completed all the training subjects and received many awards, Saburo Saburo was very skilled in flying.
He flew the plane and aimed at the battleship's gun position!
The armor there is the thickest, which also means that once it hits there, the opponent will definitely be half-dead if he is not dead. You must know that below the naval cannon is the ammunition depot.
The battleship "Arizona" belongs to the Pennsylvania class. It was built during World War I with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons and uses four 356mm turrets.
Saburo Saburo aimed at the No. 2 turret, the position in front of the middle of the hull!
In previous secret training, Saburo Saburo had the best grades. His bombing accuracy was almost comparable to the precision guided missiles in later generations. Now, he was calibrating in an orderly manner. He pressed the button in the air about 300 meters.
When the terrifying bomb dragged the flames at the tail and flew towards the "Arizona", the sailors on the deck realized and looked for cover to hide everywhere!
Unfortunately, it's too late!
The bomb dropped by Saburo Saburo accurately drilled into the weakest armor on the top of the turret and smashed several decks to the bottom ammunition depot.
Then, with a loud bang, the sound of a deafening explosion sounded.
The entire turret was blown off! The entire ammunition room was detonated. In the huge explosion, the battleship instantly became two sections, and it sank into the sea in less than five minutes, leaving only a huge vortex on the sea surface.
When some alert sailors who had escaped death on the battleship climbed to the shore, they found that the entire port had become hell on earth at this time.
Zero fighter jets dived from the air and flew towards various targets. Then, huge explosions came one after another, and various American warships sank in the entire port.
A sneak attack, this is an unprecedented sneak attack!
Countless Japanese planes rushed towards Pearl Harbor. In addition to the ships docked at the port, various buildings on land, especially heavy oil depots were also attacked.
The entire Pearl Harbor was trembling with the roar of constant explosions.
"Tiger, tiger, tiger!"
The radio waves were sent back to the Yamato command room, and all the Japanese naval officers present screamed and cheered excitedly.
The American Empire, Peanuts, and the White House.
"Mr. President, we were bombarded by Japanese people at Pearl Harbor, a naval base in the Pacific." Marshall ran into the office and said anxiously to Roosevelt.
A sudden light flashed in Roosevelt's eyes, and then he said in surprise: "The attack of the Japanese? How are our losses?"
Marshall said sorrowly: "It's not clear yet, but the loss is probably not small!"
He continued: "This time, the Japanese dispatched almost all aircraft carrier formations. This was a long-planned sneak attack. The most hateful thing is that until now, Japan has not officially declared war on us. This is a sneak attack that violates the morality of war and a naked insult to our American Empire!"
"Well, Japan has always liked to betrayal, and this is not the first time that they fought with China. Isn't that the Japanese attack can awaken the Chinese people who are still sleeping in the dream of peace. It is time to abandon isolationism." Roosevelt continued: "Now, please hurry up and ask us what our losses are? Also, inform the ambassadors of China and Japan to the United States that I want to meet them."
After hearing Roosevelt's words, Marshall was about to turn and leave, but Secretary of State Hull walked in and said, "Mr. President, Japanese Ambassador Yoshisaburo Nomura and Saburo Risu have arrived at the White House. He is going to submit a letter of state to us."
"They came in time!" Roosevelt sneered: "While talking about peace and friendship with us is numbing us, while sending troops to attack our Pacific Fleet headquarters is so despicable! Let them come in!"
"yes."
Although Roosevelt had long been looking forward to Japan declaring war on the US imperialist empire and also learned that Japan would attack Pearl Harbor in the near future, when things came, he still felt a little sudden! Unlike the original time and space history, the US imperialist had deciphered the Japanese naval communication code and the news compiled by various parties, accurately grasped the Japanese naval attack plan and the accurate time. This allowed Roosevelt to dispatch a large number of medical supplies and medical staff to Pearl Harbor in advance, and also transferred many aircraft and three aircraft carriers in advance. However, because of Gan Fuyi's disruption, the direction of the war was completely changed.
Yoshisaburo Nomura walked in calmly and said to Roosevelt: "President Roosevelt, on behalf of the Great Japanese Empire, I formally declare war on your side. This is our letter of nationality."
Yoshisaburo Nomura solemnly handed over the letter of the country to Hull, but Roosevelt did not take over immediately. Instead, he stared at Yoshisaburo Nomura with a cold look and said, "Just twenty minutes ago, we had received the news that your navy had sneaked into Pearl Harbor, our Pacific military base. Is your letter of declaration of war? Do you think it is redundant? This is completely a battle without declaration!"
Yoshisaburo Nomura was very depressed. Originally, he really wanted to talk to the US to be inclusive and understanding, but this sneak attack made everything go to a vague place! Not only that, they, the US personnel, also became abandoned sons.
Nomura Yoshisaburo bowed and said politely: "I'm sorry, our embassy's printer broke and wasted time. Please forgive me."
Too much tolerate? Roosevelt sneered: "Your reason is too far-fetched, right? A sneak attack is a sneak attack, why do you need to cover it up like this? Japan has launched a war against us now. Have you ever thought of any consequences? Our American Empire will definitely stay with you forever."
Yoshisaburo Nomura is also constantly complaining in his heart. In the past few years of the US, he knew the terribleness of this country. Once the US war machine was activated, Japan would definitely not be an opponent. The gap between the two countries' national strength was too big. Although he has sneak attacked and killed the US Pacific Fleet, it will take less than two years to reorganize a larger Pacific Fleet!
After taking over the stinky and long declaration of war from Japan, Hull read it briefly and immediately said to Japan's ambassador Yoshisaburo Nomura in anger: "This is a despicable government and such a hypocritical and distorted document in my fifty years of office! I can't even dream of dreaming that there is such a far-fetched country on the earth that can tell so many lies. You can wait and see."
