Three months earlier, the German submarine U21, under the leadership of Major Otto•Hirsin, had become the first submarine to sink a warship since the Henley half a century earlier—the British ship Pathfinder was sunk close to the British coast, and more than 250 British officers and men sank with it—and it itself was unscathed in the mission.

Almost two months earlier, off the coast of the Netherlands, an old German submarine U9 had sunk three British armored cruisers of 12,000 tons, the "Abuco", the "Hogg" and the "Cressy", in succession within an hour.

The results of the German submarine force inspired all the submarine commanders of the Chinese Navy, including Mo Ming, that "the submarine force does not eat for nothing" and "surpass the Germans...... Preparation...... Launch! ”

Two 550-mm heavy torpedoes bubbled out of the tube, and after traveling 800 yards at a speed of 35 knots, they accurately hit the belly of the "Memphis", which was in second place in the queue, and the "Memphis" immediately became unable to move and began to tilt badly.

The "Huron," which followed closely, hurriedly evaded to the right in an attempt to hide behind the shadow of the "Memphis," but just as the bow of the ship had just disappeared into the stern of the "Memphis," two huge columns of water rose on the port side almost simultaneously, and the hull of the ship rapidly tilted, and in just a few minutes, the "Huron," which was more than 13,000 tons, capsized in its entirety, carrying hundreds of officers and men to the bottom of the sea.

The "San Diego" after the "Huron" saw that the situation was not right, made a sharp left turn and signaled to the nearby destroyers: an enemy submarine has been spotted!

Less than a minute after the signal was issued, the stern of the "San Diego" was hit by a mine, probably because the rudder was stuck, and the huge hull turned in a circle on the spot, almost hitting the "St. Louis" of the fourth cruiser detachment behind.

The US destroyers quickly gathered and dropped depth charges on the sea area indicated by the "San Dieg......

In a pineapple field east of Pearl Harbor, in the middle of a dense pineapple slices that pointed like a sword at the sky, twenty or thirty meters away, lay two still smoking planes.

Several Caucasian men in Panamanian hats nervously gathered their rifles from the path on the edge of the field.

"Hey, come out! Come out or shoot! ”

The belly uncle, who was the leader, shouted a few times in English and fired a shot into the sky at the same time.

There was no response from the plane.

"George, Roque, Anderson, you go to the right, Maury, Jack, Lula, follow me!"

Uncle Belly took the lead and rushed to the big-looking plane, and when the four of them jumped on the wings together and aimed their loaded rifles at the cockpit, they found it empty.

"Uncle, blood, there's blood here!"

A young man's voice came from the other side of the small plane.

"Over there, they're going to the sugar cane fields!"

Another bearded uncle shouted excitedly.

Uncle Belly snorted: "Lula, you go and report to the National Guard, and the others come with me!" Catch the yellow monkeys! ”

At this time, in the sugarcane field, which was only one or two hundred meters away from the plane, Qi Bing and Xiao Lu, the observer in the back seat, were supporting Cai Guolan to flee to the depths of the sugarcan field.

"Sister Cai, hold on!"

Cai Guolan's face was pale, blood was constantly oozing from the wound on her shoulder, and the sprained foot during the forced landing dragged her down, and the severe pain made her convulse incessantly.

"You shouldn't come down, I'll just drag you down......"

At this time, Qi Bing was still smiling: "Don't say that, it was my own skills that were not up to par, and I dropped the plane, but it affected Xiao Lu." ”

"It's okay with me, Qi Bing's decision is my decision." Xiao Lu couldn't wait to express his position.

"Fool! How can you make a forced landing in such a place without falling, you think this is the airport of the base! Ouch ......"

"Qi Bing, re-bandage Sister Cai, it's not okay to go on like this!" Xiao Lu saw that Cai Guolan's face was getting worse and worse, and he was a little anxious.

As soon as the words fell, there were noisy shouts and gunshots from the pineapple field where the forced landing had just begun.

"Someone is chasing, run! Xiao Lu, you go first with Sister Cai on your back. I'll cover up. ”

Qi Bing said, pulled out the Han Yi type nine-millimeter automatic pistol on his waist, and loaded it with a bang.

"Qi Bing, your shooting skills ......"

"Sister Cai, don't worry, I can protect myself - Xiao Lu, what are you doing, take Sister Cai away!"

Suddenly, a thick male voice blocked the way of the three of them: "You guys, where do you want to go." ”

Chinese?

Qi Bing raised the pistol in condition, but was grabbed by the person who came, and the other party used a little force, Qi Bing couldn't support it, and as soon as his hand was released, the gun fell into the other big hand of the person.

Xiao Lu and Cai Guolan were about to draw their guns, but they saw that the man had already put the pistol against Qi Bing's white forehead.

"Don't move, I'm Lieutenant Zheng An, the intelligence officer of the Imperial Counsellors, if you want to live, come with me...... What, it's a woman? ”

"What's wrong with the woman?" Qi Bing was still not convinced.

The bearded scumbag man wearing a broken straw hat and dressed as a sugar cane farmer smiled slightly, pressed the safety with his thumb, shook his hand, the gun slived, and in an instant, the other hand pressed Qi Bing's little head, and there was a rapid crackling sound, accompanied by the brass bullet shell falling softly onto the field scattered with withered sugarcane leaves, and several tall and fat figures behind Qi Bing fell down.

"It's nothing, it's my duty to protect beautiful women."

……

At 11:45 a.m. Hawaii time, 120 planes of the Third Strike Wave — including 32 bomb-carrying fighters and 88 torpedo-carrying attack aircraft — arrived over Pearl Harbor.

At this time, most of the undamaged warships in Pearl Harbor had already raised their anchors and were heading out of the harbor.

The vicinity of the harbor was littered with the slender tracks of destroyers, and behind the tracks a striking column of water rose one after another—it seemed that the attack of the submarine forces had been discovered.

Colonel Cai Yong, who had been hovering over Pearl Harbor for a quarter of an hour, also figured it out at this time.

Two squadrons of torpedo planes supplemented the attack on the two large cruisers damaged near Cape Pearl, one squadron attacked the large cruiser that was circling outside the harbor, and the other squadrons concentrated on the two battleships that had already left the harbor.

The fighter squadrons cooperated with the torpedo squadrons to suppress the anti-aircraft fire of the enemy ships in advance.

Don't have too much appetite, you can knock out these enemy ships, and this sortie is enough!

Cai Yong secretly made up his mind and raised his hand to pull the trigger of the flare gun......
