Chapter 964: Tiger, Tiger, Tiger
"Hey, what's in the radio?" In Pearl Harbor, a soldier on duty on the shore, carrying a cup of coffee, walked in, he saw his own tape connected to the radio, moved, and suddenly, quite strange.
Flipping the switch casually, putting on the headphones, he listened to the contents of the tape, and suddenly, his face changed, he didn't care about the coffee spilling everywhere, and quickly picked up the phone.
"Hey, I'm Private George, please pick me up at the Air Defense Command immediately, there is an emergency." He shouted to the operator on the other end of the line.
However, for a long time, the line was full of busy sounds.
This group of damn officers actually slipped away even one of them on duty! Private George was rather speechless, he could only run out in a few steps, and said to the assistant on the basketball court outside: "Quick, you come and answer the radio, and I will go to the headquarters immediately." ”
It was just a street away from the headquarters, and it only took him a few minutes to get there.
However, for only a few minutes, it was already too late.
In fact, just half an hour ago, a radar station in the north of Oahu spotted an unidentified aircraft 132 nautical miles north of the island. When the radar station reported to the Air Defense Command that unidentified planes had been found, they thought that the planes were B-17 bombers from the mainland, and they ignored these planes!
After that, the officers on duty in the headquarters went down to have breakfast, and no one was left.
Not far away, is the harbor of Pearl Harbor, in this natural harbor, a large number of warships are docked at this time.
The battleship "Arisona" was located on the northernmost side of the docked warship in the harbor, and more than a thousand sailors on this warship were still sleeping in the battleship, and only a few sailors were moving on the deck, and when the roar of airplanes appeared in the distant sky, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look into the sky.
What kind of plane is that?
They couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the sky, only to see those planes in the sky, which were really special, and those wings were inverted seagulls!
"You don't know, do you?" A sailor said: "This kind of aircraft is the latest fighter developed by our navy, the F-4U Corsair, and the engine of this aircraft has two thousand horsepower!" ”
Historically, the Corsair attack aircraft was developed in 38 years and entered service in 42 years, and like the Stuka, they all used inverted seagull wings, and now, the development of this aircraft has accelerated, and a small number of aircraft have entered service.
The sailor, who just happened to know, now triumphantly introduced to his companion: "Do you know what the advantages of the inverted seagull wings?" ”
He looked at the others and was even happier to see that they were all looking towards him: "The Corsair has a pair of large propellers installed in the nose, in order to prevent the aircraft from scratching the deck of the aircraft carrier during landing, it is necessary to design a longer nose landing gear, but the landing gear is too long will cause it difficult to retract after takeoff, and the strength is not easy to guarantee, so the designers bent the wings down a certain distance to compensate for the height of the landing gear." ”
This is definitely professional knowledge, and he only learned about it recently, and he is very satisfied with the admiring eyes of the people around him.
But after a while, one of the companions said, "No, why are there bombs hanging under their belly?" ”
The planes in the sky were very fast, and they first saw the most obvious inverted seagull wings, and then they saw something hanging under the belly of the plane.
"That's supposed to be the drop fuel tank for the transition." The sailor continued to flaunt his knowledge: "I can guarantee that they flew straight from the mainland, which is amazing!" ”
"Impossible, a single-seater plane can't fly this far, and besides, it's only morning, do they have to take off in the early morning?" The companion next to him had already begun to refute him.
This hurt the sailor's pride, and he stood up to reason with his companions, when another sailor was already shouting: "No, it's diving towards us!" ”
Swooping down on us? The flirtatious sailors looked at the sky in the distance, it was true, the other party was diving, what did these naval pilots want to do? Is it so teasing yourself?
Fujita Yi and Zang's eyes were already occupied by their own target, and the object of his attack was the 30,000-ton battleship "Arisana"!
As the first aircraft of the first attack echelon, he did not hesitate at all, and almost immediately after discovering the target, he entered the attack route.
Inverted seagull wings, with the added benefit of maintaining a sufficiently high strength during the violent vibrations of the dive!
As a trainee trained from Germany, as a pilot who successfully completed all the training subjects and was praised by Rudel, Jarizo Fujita was quite skilled in his attack maneuvers.
Aim at the battleship's gun positions!
The armor there is the thickest, which also means that once it hits there, the opponent is absolutely half-crippled if it is not dead, you know, under the ship's guns, is the ammunition depot.
The battleship Arizona belonged to the Pennsylvania class, built during World War I, with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and four 356 mm turrets in three units.
What Fujita Yi and Kuro are aiming at is the No. 2 turret, the front position in the middle of the hull!
In the last test, Fujita Jarza's results were excellent, and his bombing accuracy was already comparable to that of the precision-guided munitions of later generations, and now, he is attacking in an orderly manner, and at an altitude of about 500 meters, he pressed the button.
When that terrible bomb, dragging the tongue of fire in the tail, flew towards the Arizona, the sailors on the deck reacted, no, this is the enemy!
Unfortunately, it was already too late!
The bomb, dragged with tongues of fire, accurately from the weakest armor on the top of the turret, drilled in, smashed several decks, all the way to the lowest ammunition depot.
Then, a huge explosion was heard.
The entire turret was shattered! 3,000 tons of black sorkin explosives were detonated, and in a huge explosion, the entire battleship was turned into two sections, and in almost a minute, it sank into the sea, leaving only a whirlpool on the surface.
The sailors who escaped death struggled to swim ashore, and by this time, the whole harbor had become a hellish scene.
One after another, the fighters with the wings of the seagull swooped down from the air, and the fire under the belly of the plane flew towards the ships, and then, a huge explosion was heard, and puffs of black smoke soon rose from the entire port.
Sneak attack, it's a shameless sneak attack!
I can't count how many planes rushed towards Pearl Harbor, and in addition to the ships in the harbor, all targets on land were also attacked.
The whole of Pearl Harbor was trembling.
"Tiger, tiger, tiger!" Radio waves, excitedly propagating back.
