Chapter 1164: The Attack Begins
"Confirm the target, the main forces of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet are in the Oahu military port, and the US Navy is unprepared and launches an attack according to the first set of plans. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info "Colonel Liu Tingsheng gave the order to attack.
The Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet had previously drawn up two plans for an attack on the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet at Oahu's military port. The first plan was that if the U.S. Navy was unprepared, then the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft force would attack with torpedo attack planes, and then attack with dive bombers to avoid the smoke and dust from the dive bombers from attacking. If the U.S. Navy is prepared, then the second plan is to carry out a strong attack by dive bombers to destroy the anti-aircraft fire of the U.S. Navy, and then attack by torpedo attack aircraft. Of course, the first plan is more convenient and easier to achieve greater results.
When the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit flew to the Oahu military port, they found that the main warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet were all moored in the harbor, neat and unprepared. Under such circumstances, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Imperial Navy would of course have to carry out the first set of battle plans.
The radio general was ordered by Colonel Liu Tingsheng to reach the units of the various carrier-based aircraft wings. The fleet immediately began to change, and the dive bombers began to gain altitude and prepare to circle in the sky. And the torpedo attack aircraft began to drop in altitude, ready to start dropping bombs. As for the fighter planes, they rushed directly to the vicinity of the Oahu military port to prepare to suppress the US Navy's anti-aircraft fire and prevent US Navy and Army fighters from taking off. After all, the Americans are not stupid, and in the airfield of the Oahu military port hundreds of P-35 and P-36 fighters are also parked,
The carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy swooped down on the target. The warships of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet moored in the Oahu military harbor are already in front of them like meat on a board, ready to be slaughtered.
On the USS Enterprise, the US Navy's aircraft carrier, there are carrier-based planes parked neatly on the deck. In order to carry as many carrier-based aircraft as possible, in addition to being parked in the hangar in the aircraft carrier, there are also many carrier-based aircraft tethered on the deck. Two American pilots, holding sandwiches, are eating breakfast on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
"Hey, aren't those guys in the Army tired either? Training started early in the morning. Could it be that the Chinese will attack here? A pilot of the U.S. Naval Air Corps said after looking up at the overwhelming airplanes in the distant sky.
"Those guys in the Army Air Corps are just cowardly. Most of the main warships of the US Navy have been assembled at the Oahu military port, and our strength is no weaker than that of the Chinese. If they dare to attack, we will defeat them. Another pilot said.
Later, though, they noticed that there seemed something strange about the planes. The appearance is fundamentally different from the aircraft equipped by the U.S. Army. Moreover, their flight path seems to be directly towards the military port of Oahu.
"Oh God! That's not our plane, it's the Chinese's. "When a fighter plane flew over the USS Enterprise, the blue dragon under the wings was clearly displayed in front of their eyes.
"Torpedo! Torpedo! Hurry up and avoid it! "Two YL4 torpedo attack aircraft have already dropped torpedoes less than two hundred meters from the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. Two 533-mm heavy torpedoes slammed into the sea, sank underwater, floated again, and then rushed towards the USS Enterprise at high speed, leaving two long water marks on the surface.
On the other side, three YL torpedo attack planes also dropped torpedoes from the other side, and three 533-mm heavy torpedoes fired at the USS Enterprise at high speed.
"Focus on attacking aircraft carriers of the US Navy, followed by battleships, cruisers and destroyers. Dive bombers of the 13th Carrier-Based Aircraft Wing and the 14th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing, attacking the US Army airfield on Oahu. Fighters of the 14th Carrier-Based Air Wing, providing cover for them. "Colonel Liu Tingsheng's landline hovered over the Oahu military port, giving orders for attack one after another. Because the Imperial Navy attaches great importance to aircraft carriers, it takes the aircraft carriers of the US Navy as the key target of attack, and then launches attacks according to the size of the value. However, the U.S. Army's planes deployed on Oahu had to be destroyed first. Otherwise, it was enough to pose a threat to the carrier-based mechanisms of the Imperial Navy.
The U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet is now anchored with most of its main forces in the Oahu Naval Harbor. Of the six aircraft carriers, except for the USS Langley, which is at the San Diego Naval Base, the remaining five are based at Oahu Naval Harbor. However, when the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft attacked, only four aircraft carriers were moored in the harbor. The USS Lexington was on a mission and was not in port.
"Boom! Rumble! "Two loud explosions sounded on the port side of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. Two 533-mm heavy torpedoes, which hit the aircraft carrier "Enterprise" almost simultaneously. The explosion was so loud that the aircraft carrier "Enterprise" almost jumped from the sea. The pilots and sailors of the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft, who were sleeping soundly in the aircraft carrier, were even shocked from their beds to the deck, and some of them were even injured by falling. The violent explosion made two large holes in the side of the USS Enterprise, and the sea water rushed into the USS Enterprise. It was at this time that three more 533-mm heavy torpedoes also hit the starboard side of the aircraft carrier "Enterprise".
After hitting five heavy torpedoes, even if the USS Enterprise was a huge battleship with a displacement of more than 25,000 tons, it was already dead at this time. The five big holes made the sea water rush into the ship's hull frantically, and the damage management was useless at this time. The pilots and sailors of the carrier-based aircraft in the aircraft carrier panicked one by one, and they wanted to escape through the escape route, but it was simply impossible. The frenzied influx of sea water caused the Enterprise to sink rapidly. And those pilots and sailors in the aircraft carrier, the final result is to be drowned alive in it.
"The 'Enterprise' is sinking, those planes are carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese, and they have attacked us."
"Oh God! Quickly sound the air defense alarm, why didn't our planes take off? ”
The loud explosions woke up the Americans. Many people rushed out before they even had time to put on their pants. However, what unfolded in front of them was a scene that looked like hell. Chinese Navy carrier-based aircraft are attacking US Navy warships anchored in the harbor in droves. And those warships, at the berth, did not fight back at all, like targets, allowing the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy to attack.
The aircraft carrier "Raider" was also besieged by carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy. Four YL4 torpedo attack aircraft dropped torpedoes less than one hundred and fifty meters from the USS Raider. While the USS Raider remained motionless, all four torpedoes accurately hit the USS Assaulter, causing the carrier to capsize in the harbor.
The USS Saratoga was even more unlucky, suffering six torpedoes, and one torpedo exploded and broke through the steel plates of the oil storage tank, causing the explosion of thousands of tons of aviation fuel stored in the carrier. After the violent explosion, the entire USS Saratoga became a blazing flare. Even the steel plates of the aircraft carrier's hull are deformed and shattered in the burning, not to mention those pilots and sailors inside the aircraft carrier, what kind of fate will be, you can imagine.
The aircraft carrier 'Yorktown' was not spared. When the USS Enterprise was hit, the USS Yorktown sounded the air defense alarm. Some sailors rushed to the anti-aircraft gun positions in a panic, preparing to attack the incoming carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy.
However, at this time, the dive bombers in the sky could not hold back, and began to attack like goshawks pounced on rabbits. As many as 144 torpedo attack planes were dispatched in this wave, and the pilots of the dive bombers were worried that all their combat exploits would be robbed by the pilots of the torpedo attack planes, so they thought that Colonel Liu Tingsheng had put forward a request to join the battle.
After Colonel Liu Tingsheng discovered that the US Navy was indeed defenseless, he agreed to the request of the dive bomber unit to fight. When 144 dive bombers carried heavy aviation armor-piercing shells to attack, the situation became even more unfavorable for the US Navy's Pacific Fleet.
"Whew!" With a piercing scream, an FC4 dive bomber launched an attack on the USS Yorktown at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, dropping the bomb at an altitude of only 500 meters from the Yorktown. A 500-kilogram aviation armor-piercing projectile, which fell quickly. The dive bomber, on the other hand, was able to quickly change its dive route because of the weight reduction.
"Boom!" The aviation armor-piercing shell smashed heavily on the deck of the aircraft carrier 'Yorktown', and the 60-millimeter-thick deck could not resist the aviation armor-piercing shells falling from a high altitude. Aviation-piercing shells exploded inside the aircraft carrier after penetrating the deck of the aircraft carrier 'Yorktown'. The violent explosion blew up the deck of the USS Yorktown, and the fire spread inside the aircraft carrier.
The carrier-based planes of the Chinese Navy in the sky, like sharks that smell fish, rush to the aircraft carrier 'Yorktown'. In less than five minutes, the aircraft carrier "Yorktown" was hit with four 533-mm heavy torpedoes and six 500-kilogram aerial bombs, directly killing this huge aircraft carrier. (To be continued.) )
