Chapter 1167: Great Victory
"Oh God! The Chinese carrier-based aircraft are attacking us, and we need to return fire right away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "On the control tower of an airfield not far from Oahu's military port, a US military officer shouted loudly.
The sudden blow directly left the US Army Air Corps unprepared at all. A large number of pilots had just started their breakfast, and the planes were parked on top of the airport.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Violent explosions rang out at the airport, and one plane after another was destroyed. Such heavy losses made the hearts of the American officers feel as if they were dripping blood. Although, the performance of both the P-35 and the P-36 fighters is relatively poor and cannot be compared with the advanced fighters of the Chinese Navy. However, no matter how bad the fighter is, if it is destroyed at the airfield and does not even take off, it will be too devastating.
When the explosion sounded, some pilots of the US Army Air Corps bravely rushed towards their fighters. Despite the suddenness of the enemy's attack, they still wanted to fight to the death and fulfill their duty to defend their homeland.
However, those US pilots who rushed to the planes also became the key targets of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft. These pilots are the greater threat than fighter jets. The fighters were destroyed, and with the industrial power of the United States, it was very easy to be able to recreate more fighters. However, pilots are different. A qualified pilot is not so easy to train. It often has to go through a rigorous selection process. Therefore, killing a pilot is more cost-effective than destroying a fighter jet.
"Da Da Da!" An F9 fighter fired at the pilots, and the American pilots, who had just run out of the cafeteria, were hit by 12.7mm aviation machine guns. One by one, they were shot and fell to the ground, and their bodies were torn apart.
"Ahh My God! "As soon as one pilot rushed out of the cafeteria, he saw several pilots in front of him being beaten into parts, and he was about to pee out in fright. The courage that was finally mustered up because of protecting the family and defending the country was suddenly leaked, and he hurriedly fled back to the cafeteria.
"Bastard, Jerry, you coward!" One of the pilots yelled.
"Mike, the Chinese's firepower is too fierce, we can't rush over, come back quickly." Jerry, who was scolded as a coward, said with a look of horror.
"No, even if I die, I'm going to take off with my plane." The pilot named Mike said loudly. He rushed towards his fighter quickly, and God seemed to favor him, so that he actually dodged the strafing of the Chinese fighter and came to his own fighter smoothly.
Like an agile monkey, he easily climbed into the cockpit of his fighter jet and shouted outside: "Who's going to help me, I'm going to take off!" ”
The P-36 fighter was an older fighter and required the help of ground crews to start the engine.
A heroic ground crew ran up in front of Mike's fighter and launched his fighter into action.
"Thank you, man, I'll shoot down the Chinese fighter in return." Mike said loudly.
But in the next second, the ground crew was hit in the head by a 12.7mm aviation machine gun bullet, and the whole head shattered like a watermelon. When Mike saw this, he was instantly stupid. However, he immediately flew the plane and rushed towards the runway. At this time, it is useless to say that the rest is useless, and it is necessary to fly the plane to take off, and then it will be able to fight. Otherwise, it's useless to say more.
The fighter piloted by Mike, rushed onto the runway, began to accelerate, and prepared to take off. However, an F9 fighter has long spotted this fighter ready to take off. Pressed down directly from behind Mike, the 30mm cannon in the nose fired a round of bursts. Several shells flew out at high speed, accurately hitting the fighter piloted by Mike. The power of the 30mm cannon flew out and easily destroyed the fighter piloted by Mike. The fighter ignited a raging fire, and just after taking off, it fell and fell into a pile of scrap metal. And Mike was buried in this pile of scrap metal, apparently lifeless.
Mike's fate made many American pilots who were originally inspired and wanted to take off bravely to fight, one by one. More people shut up and didn't dare to say anything more about taking to the skies. Although, the responsibility to defend the country is important. However, your own life is just as important!
However, even if the American pilots hid in their dormitories, they did not escape the disaster. After dealing with the fighters parked on the airfield, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy launched an attack on the airfield's canteens, pilots' quarters, and hangars and ammunition depots. High-explosive bombs rained down from the sky, destroying all these buildings, and the pilots were buried alive even if they were lucky not to be killed on the spot. In such a situation, it is clear that no one has time to rescue them. Therefore, the final outcome is also to die in it.
The carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, but did not attack the oil storage facilities on the island. Millions of tonnes of heavy oil, gasoline and jet fuel are stored in those storage facilities. Heavy oil alone is 4.5 million tons. For the Empire, these oils were also very valuable. The empire is not like a book, it hits the Oahu military port and runs. The Empire's goal was to occupy the entire Hawaiian Islands. If these oil storage facilities can be captured, then the logistical pressure on the empire will be much reduced. After all, the empire is a full 8,000 kilometers from the Hawaiian Islands. All supplies had to be brought from the empire mainland, and oil was one of the key supplies. The fuel in these oil storage facilities on the Hawaiian Islands was enough for the fleet and carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy for a long time.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that in the event that the Hawaiian Islands face falling, the Americans will jump over the wall and directly destroy these oil storage facilities. In order to prevent these oil storage facilities from falling into the hands of the Chinese navy.
The attack against the US Army Air Corps was also very successful. Even if they encountered some resistance, they were easily crushed by the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Imperial Navy. More than 400 fighters of the US Army Air Corps were all destroyed on the airfield. Even the pilots and the airfield facilities were badly damaged.
By 8:20 a.m., the first wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy had already dropped all the bombs and torpedoes. The second batch of carrier-based aircraft has also flown to the Oahu military port. They will take over the first wave of carrier-based aircraft and continue their attacks on the military ports on Oahu and those military installations on the Hawaiian Islands. The first wave of carrier-based aircraft will return to the aircraft carrier, refill fuel and ammunition, and prepare for the next attack.
The first wave of the offensive achieved great results, destroying four aircraft carriers, eight battleships, as well as several cruisers and destroyers of the US Navy. In addition, the U.S. Army Air Corps' defeated fighter jets were also destroyed at the airfield, allowing the Imperial Navy to continue the next wave of attacks.
In this attack, the Imperial Navy lost twelve aircraft, including two F9 fighters, four FC4 dive bombers, and six YL4 torpedo attack aircraft. Such losses were simply insignificant compared to the results they achieved.
After the first wave of carrier-based aircraft returned, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft continued to attack the warships of the US Navy. Although, the number of carrier-based aircraft that took off in the second wave was inferior to that of the first. However, for the U.S. Navy, which has suffered a great loss of strength, it can still inflict fatal damage on them.
You know, when the second wave of carrier-based aircraft began to attack, the third wave of carrier-based aircraft was also on the way. The Imperial Navy is trying to completely wipe out the Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy with such a continuous attack.
After dropping the bombs, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy were much faster. It took them a full eighty minutes to fly to Oahu's military port before, but now it only takes sixty minutes to return.
On the Imperial Navy's aircraft carrier 'Phoenix Mountain', Admiral Chen Houfu, commander of the Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet, was anxiously awaiting the results of the air raid. Although, the Imperial Navy had already calculated everything. But what the final result will be, he doesn't know. After all, there are too many unpredictable factors in battle. If something happens a little bit of an accident, it will lead to failure.
"Commander, don't worry too much, we will definitely succeed this time. With mental calculation or unintentional, the Americans are certainly not our opponents. Vice Admiral Lin Xiangjin, chief of staff of the fleet, said.
"Well, that's true, if the Americans can survive in such a situation, then their luck is really good. However, I don't think the Americans will be able to escape this catastrophe. Even if it's a strong attack, we'll defeat them. Admiral Chen Houfu said.
The only thing he is struggling with now is probably the loss situation. There will be no doubt that the Imperial Navy will win this battle. But what about the Imperial Navy, which won this battle with tiny losses? Or win this battle with heavy losses. There is also a fundamental difference between them. For the follow-up operations, Admiral Chen Houfu, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy, naturally hoped that the fleet could win the victory at the minimum cost.
Soon, the radar on the warships of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy detected the returning group. Colonel Liu Tingsheng, commander of the 13th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing of the Naval Air Force, also began to report the results of the battle to the flagship by radio.
"Under the first wave of blows from the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Imperial Navy, the US Navy paid heavy losses, four aircraft carriers were sunk, eight battleships were sunk, and several cruisers and destroyers were sunk. The channel of the port has been blocked, there are still 12 battleships in the port, and the second wave of carrier-based aircraft forces is besieging it. (To be continued.) )
