This era is still an era where battleships are the main ones. Even if Germany realized the importance of aircraft carriers, in terms of external propaganda, it was still talking about the ships and guns of battleships. There were indeed several naval battles, which were miracles created by battleships.

Island countries also attach importance to battleships, but their attacks on US ports can only be based on aircraft carriers. Among some naval personnel of island countries, they have realized that aircraft carriers will play an increasingly important role in future naval battles.

This time, the island country's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and the primary combat target was the American aircraft carrier!

All warships in Pearl Harbor include 3 aircraft carriers, USS Enterprise, USS Lexington, USS Saratoga, 9 battleships, USS Pennsylvania, USS California, Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia, USS Arizona, USS Nevada, USS Colorado, 20 cruisers, 69 destroyers and 27 submarines.

Now, the battleships are all inside the port, but the aircraft carrier is not there!

What makes people even more worried is that they go to attack, but the aircraft carrier is not there. Does this mean that the secret of the attack has been leaked?

The main thing about the surprise attack is to keep it confidential. If the secret is leaked, then one side may be surrounded and annihilated.

Especially, if these three aircraft carriers are running out and waiting for their carrier-based aircraft to attack them in a certain sea area, wouldn’t it be impossible to steal chickens and lose all the rice, and might even destroy the island navy!

Nagashikazu suddenly frowned. At this moment, his expression seemed to be saying, "Would you like to terminate this mission?"

Rudel looked at Tadaichi Nakamoto and knew what he was thinking. Rudel couldn't help but remember what Cirick said about the various officers of the island country before leaving.

Fifty-six of the chess, that is a gambler. Once he smells the opportunity, he will devote all his wealth to it!

As for Tadichi Nakamoto, he is a petty family. He is satisfied with just taking a little advantage and is a person who is not enterprising.

Now it seems that this is true. He is so cautious. As long as the enemy has a little variable, he will be scared.

"Or what if we report back?" Natsuichi Nagato said to himself.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire attack force, he didn't have to discuss with anyone, but now he has no confidence in speaking.

"No." Rudel didn't care what he was. He only remembered his mission and must beat Pearl Harbor beautifully!

Just finding that the other party's aircraft carrier is not there, is he so helpless?

You must never send a telegram back!

In order to keep the safari secret of this voyage, they kept absolute radio silence after going to sea.

Although fishing boats kept sending reports back, the radio power on the fishing boat was small, which only spreads one or two hundred nautical miles. If the aircraft carrier wanted to contact the rear, it would require radio waves to fly thousands of nautical miles. The island country received it, and the Americans also received it.

As long as you send a report, you will truly expose the target.

"Collect all aspects of information to find the whereabouts of these three aircraft carriers." Rudel said: "Even if we are split into a fleet, we will have to complete the mission."

Split a fleet? Natsuki Nakamoto frowned: "This is different from our plan."

"No plan can guarantee that it can keep up with changes. As the commander on the scene, you must learn to adapt to the situation." Rudel said: "The fate of the empire, in this battle, you are the most loyal soldiers of the empire. Unfortunately, it made me feel timid."

Excite and stimulate the other party! Behind Rudel is a powerful Germany and a country with brilliant combat results. His ridicule is very effective.

Sure enough, Nagashikazu looked ugly, and he said to Rudel: "How could we be timid! Continue to collect information. If these three aircraft carriers dare to ambush us, we will sink them!"

"Release the Zero fighter and search for the nearby waters of 500 nautical miles." Tadakaichi Nagamoto continued.

In this era, even if warships have radars, they are very primitive. The carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers are enough to attack targets five hundred nautical miles away. There will be hidden dangers in the vast ocean at any time.

Zero fighter jets have a large range and fast speed. Compared with slow water reconnaissance aircraft, using Zero fighter jets to search is more efficient.

With Tadaichi Nagamo, the deck became busy.

The 40th team Captain Matsuzaki Sanma was sitting in his Zero fighter. In order to hide the secret, the emblem on his wing had been smeared. He took a few deep breaths and activated the 950-horsepower Nakajima "Ee" 12 engine in front.

A familiar roar came, his plane was started, the propeller got faster and faster, and the brakes were released, and the plane slid on the deck briskly, and then took off.

This is a small and flexible fighter, and Matsuzaki Sannan is very satisfied with this fighter.

After the Stuka received from Germany was on board, the comparison between the fighter and the bomber units came. I often heard the bomber units' pilots laugh at them, "Would you take off under our belly?"

The empty weight of the zero type is only 1,700 kilograms, which is exactly the load capacity of Stuka!

But, what's the use?

Try comparing the speed? Comparing the range?

Now, searching for nearby sea surfaces requires aircraft with high speed and long enough range to act as aircraft. Zero fighter jets are the most suitable!

After easily leaving the flight deck, Matsuzaki Sannan flew the Zero fighter and climbed up quickly. This small and flexible aircraft had a good climbing rate.

The aircraft carrier formation below gradually shrank into points on the sea. Matsuzaki Sannan's Zero fighter jet drilled into the clouds. When it crawled out of the clouds, it had risen to more than 2,000 meters.

The aircraft carrier formation below took off eight fighter jets, one in one direction, searching for the area 500 kilometers near the aircraft carrier, while the direction of Matsuzaki Sannan was the southeast of the aircraft carrier.

Flying and continuing to fly forward, the long flight is very boring. At the same time, Matsuzaki Sannan also needs to search the sea surface visually. As the distance continues to increase, the width he needs to search is also increasing.

Half an hour passed quickly.

An hour passed.

The fuel has been consumed by one-third, and the distance has reached the requirement. There is nothing in sight. According to the task requirements, he should have returned.

But he did not, as an island pilot, he was loyal and arrogant.

Keep flying!

When the fuel consumption was halfway through, he was only more than one hundred nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor. At this moment, he saw the vague outline on the sea and was immediately delighted.
Chapter completed!
