Chapter 960 The carrier aircraft takes off
As a backup force, the 50th Squad can operate not many weapons. Most of the advanced anti-ship bombs imported from Germany were on six dedicated aircraft carriers, and only two were given to them.
After all, this type of tanker-modified aircraft carrier has no special hangar at all, and the temporary arsenal is also very narrow. Most of them are ordinary bombs, and there are only two such powerful weapons.
One is distributed to an aircraft carrier, and whoever carries this kind of bomb must complete the task!
Almost everyone is rushing to mount bombs, and their sense of war is very high.
Pearl Harbor.
Located on Oahu, it is a tribe among the Hawaiian Islands and the location of the Hawaiian state capital. There is only a dredged waterway with a depth of 13.7 meters in and out, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is quite similar to Scarpa Bay.
Because the Hawaiian Islands are located in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, they are the key to transportation in the Pacific Ocean. They were originally an independent kingdom, but later colonized by Spain, and then seized by the United States from Spain in 1898.
After that, Pearl Harbor belonged to the United States. Until now, the United States has built ship repair shops, dry docks, fuel supply stations, docks and necessary naval facilities in Pearl Harbor, from which it can easily radiate to East Asia.
With the rise of island countries, the United States attaches more importance to Pearl Harbor and built submarines and aviation bases here. Last year, German submarines came to the Pacific to make trouble. Pearl Harbor upgraded its security level and sent a large number of warships to search in the Pacific.
And now, as the Pacific Ocean calms down again, the Pearl Harbor base is the same as before.
The situation in Europe is extremely steep, but in the United States, isolationism is still very serious, and not many people are willing to get involved in the war. For them, the warm sunshine, beautiful beaches, and countless beauties that make people feel moved. This kind of life is what they hope most.
Today is Sunday. Most of the senior naval officials have left their positions. The officers and soldiers are also humans and need rest. Most of their families are on the island of Hawaii. This Sunday is the day for them to reunite with their families.
The genius was just dawning. At this time, a huge fleet was accelerating with all its might on the sea 220 nautical miles north of Oahu.
Black smoke emerged from the chimneys of each aircraft carrier, and the decks of the aircraft carriers were densely packed with carrier-based aircraft.
All of them are Stukas with inverted seagull wings. Since the export of such bombers from Germany to the island country, the island country has gritted its teeth and sent all of its 97 attacks that had just been in service to the shore. Most of the aircraft carriers are Stukas, and now the first batch of takeoffs are also these aircraft.
Fujita Yi and Zang were sitting in his plane. A one-ton PC1000rs bomb was already mounted on the midline of his belly. He was extremely excited at this time. He was tied with a white cloth before the battle in his flight hat.
In the headphones, an order finally came. He opened the accelerator and released the brakes. Stuka's engine roared, and the fighter ran away in front. With the help of the deck wind, the Stuka bomber easily pulled up at the end of the deck. He gently brought the operating lever backwards, and the fighter continued to climb.
Behind him, the machine gunner was also extremely excited, watching the fighter planes take off from the deck.
Soon, hundreds of fighter planes flew up and formed in the air, flying towards Pearl Harbor.
On the bridge of the Akagi, Nagashima Takashi was also excited when he looked at the planes. No matter how much hesitated at the beginning, now, when the battle had begun, he, like everyone else, was only looking forward to victory.
Next to him, Rudel was relaxed.
As the military adviser of the island country, Rudel has provided advice one by one. If this attack is successful, there is no doubt that Rudel is one of the heroes. If the attack fails, well, the people who die will be the ones who die.
Rudel has always been very bold because he doesn't have to worry about the losses of the troops.
However, now, he had a strong premonition that this attack would definitely go quite smoothly.
Roosevelt had long been eager to have an excuse to start a war. He made trouble several times to make the United States move into the wartime system, but unfortunately it was ruined by Germany again and again.
This time, I was finally bullied. What will the Americans do?
Let the United States and the island nations consume each other's strength in the war!
"Ryuda Maru has also received the order. When we took off, Ryuda Maru was also releasing fighter jets. They should have arrived at the battlefield earlier than our fighter jets." Nagashima said: "And, two hours ago, from China, there were two G5n deep mountain bombers that had taken off. According to time, they should be able to catch up with our second wave of bombings."
The deep mountain bomber had no choice but to receive the German db605 liquid-cooled engine. The designer was originally not satisfied, but the test flight showed excellent performance.
This engine is quite mature and reliable. After being installed on the plane, it immediately meets the performance requirements and has a low fuel consumption rate, which increases the actual range!
Historically, many bombers faced the problem of engine overheating during their development, as did the US B-29. It was almost until after the war that the problem of engine overheating was completely solved.
The liquid-cooled engine is born with this advantage. The biggest problem that plagues the bomber was solved. The deep mountain bomber was almost quickly finalized after it was installed on the plane.
This kind of bomber is under intense production, and the two prototypes are already eager to participate in this operation. It takes time to fly from a distant land.
Rudel nodded. It was impossible for the islanders to import the German Junker-290, but the islanders themselves developed bombers, but Germany supported them. All of this was for the interests of Germany.
They want to copy Scapa Bay's successful experience, so let them try it, but there is one last question.
"When are you going to declare war on the United States?" Rudel said.
When the sneak attack on Scapa Bay, the British had declared war long ago, but the British were too careless and believed that Germany did not have the strength to attack them. Now, there is only an economic dispute between the island countries and the United States. If the island countries did not declare war on the United States before the sneak attack, it would be impossible for the Americans to tolerate it.
"I don't know this, we are only responsible for fighting." Natsuichi Nagamoto said.
