The Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy has completed Plan B and Plan C successively, which is equivalent to completing the vast majority of the combat mission against the United States. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the entire plan A, there is only one final task, and that is the capture of Oahu.

In the Hawaiian archipelago, all but Oahu fell into the hands of the Chinese Marines. There was only one island left, Oahu, garrisoned by the 3rd Division of the U.S. Marine Corps. Moreover, in order to hold Oahu and resist the attack of the Chinese* army as much as possible, the U.S. military is also frantically strengthening the defense of Oahu.

Admiral Hasben Kimmel, Acting Commander of the Pacific Fleet, is now fully a bare-bones commander. The main warships of the Pacific Fleet have long been lost. Now in his hands there are only a few cruisers and destroyers. Moreover, these cruisers and destroyers were trapped in the military port. Because of the surprise attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, the shipping channel of the military port was blocked, and the warships were trapped inside and could not get out at all. Of course, it is not a good idea for Americans to go out of the port either. The warships of the Chinese Navy cruising in the waters around Oahu, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy circling in the nearby airspace are waiting for them. As long as you dare to leave the port, there is only one result in the end, and that is to be sunk.

The 3rd Marine Division stationed on Oahu is also frantically stepping up its vigilance, building fortifications and laying mines on the coast around Oahu to stop the imminent attack of the Chinese* army on Oahu. Of course, they don't know how long they can hold out. The whole of Oahu is like an isolated island.

"General Cullen, how's the defense prepared? The Chinese have already swept the other islands of the Hawaiian Islands and are about to launch an attack on Oahu, leaving us with little time. Admiral Hasben Kimmel said.

"Your Excellency, my men have done their best. Although, the 3rd Marine Division has more than 20 thousand people. However, it is still very difficult to garrison an island as large as Oahu. This is especially true when we have lost superiority on the sea surface, as well as in the air. Major General Cullen said with a bitter face. The 3rd Marine Division, because it is a unit stationed in the Hawaiian Islands, is at full strength, with more than 22,000 people in the division, and has extremely strong firepower. Of course, this is relative to the general army, and the so-called superiority of the 3rd Marine Division of the US Marine Corps is nothing at all in front of the Chinese * army, which has superiority in the sea and air. In the event of an attack by the Chinese* army under the cover of carrier-based aircraft and naval warships, they will be at a complete disadvantage.

Admiral Hasben Kimmel nodded: "General Karen, I already understand the problem you are facing. However, as you know, there is no way for me to give you more support. Yesterday, San Diego was attacked by the Chinese, and the entire San Diego military port was destroyed. The remaining capital ships of the Pacific Fleet were all sunk by the Chinese. ”

Rear Admiral Cullen nodded, San Diego was attacked by carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, and the U.S. military suffered heavy losses, which they also received the news. However, this is not good news for them who want to hold on to Oahu. Truly, the news is simply terrible. For U.S. soldiers, this led to a further drop in morale. San Diego has been attacked, and the entire West Coast is in turmoil, and the U.S. government is afraid that it will strengthen the defense of the West Coast as soon as possible, so how can it send reinforcements to them?

"As soldiers, our mission is to defend the country. Now that the United States of America is under such a serious threat, we have no choice but to fight. His Excellency the President sent us a telegram asking us to hold on as long as possible and buy more time for the United States. So, we can only hold on to Oahu. Of course, His Excellency the President agreed that at the last minute, we could leave here in a submarine and return to the United States. Admiral Hasben Kimmel said.

These high-ranking generals of the US military are all valuable assets. In particular, generals with combat experience are urgently needed by the United States. Therefore, President Roosevelt wanted these generals to continue to serve the United States, and did not hesitate to send submarines to pick them up. This is tantamount to leaving a way for these generals to survive. For the Chinese * army, this is almost unthinkable. After all, the Reich's submarines were used to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and launch attacks on enemy ships, and it was impossible for them to be completely reduced to transport ships like the American submarines.

Major General Cullen nodded, relieved in his heart. If he can evacuate Oahu at the last minute, avoid falling into the hands of the Chinese, or die in battle, then he will have no psychological burden.

"Your Excellency Commander, I will hold on to Oahu as much as possible, and I will definitely not give up easily if I don't insist on the last moment." Major General Ka Yan said.

Admiral Hasben Kimmel nodded, and Major General Cullen's answer made him quite satisfied.

Less than a hundred kilometers east of Oahu, the Imperial Navy's 1st Carrier Strike Group, 2nd Carrier Strike Group, and 3rd Battleship Detachment were concentrated here. After sweeping away the other islands of the Hawaiian archipelago, only Oahu remains. Of course, this is also a hard bone in the mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Oahu is left. According to the intelligence we have, the 3rd Marine Division of the Americans, during this time, has been strengthening the island's defenses. So, I'm afraid we have to face a place with machine-gun bunkers and mines everywhere. Major General Zeng Xingsan, commander of the 1st Marine Division, said.

"There's no way around it, Oahu is the focus of the Americans' defense, and it's the core of the entire Hawaiian Islands. In order to defend the Hawaiian Islands, they will naturally spend a lot of money. And if we want to take Oahu, we naturally need to be prepared to pay a heavy price. Major General Li Kaitao, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, said.

"Both, our navy will do our best to clear the way for you to land. However, we do not dare to guarantee the complete destruction of the defenses of the Americans. Rear Admiral Chen Daopei, commander of the 1st Carrier Strike Group, said.

"Thank you so much. The main forces of the Navy have already taken out San Diego, and we can't afford to delay too long on Oahu. It is better to take this place before the return of the main fleet. Therefore, starting this afternoon, we will launch a bombardment and artillery bombardment of Oahu, and start landing early tomorrow morning, and even if we use human lives to pile up, we must take Oahu. Major General Zeng said.

"Okay, no problem. However, have you decided on the landing site? Major General Chen Daopei asked.

"Lao Li and I have already discussed, and the landing site will be in Haleiwa in the north. Once you've landed here, you'll be able to attack Honolulu and Pearl City all the way south without being affected by the terrain. However, when the Navy is bombing and shelling, do not focus on attacking here, lest the Americans know about our landing site. Wait until tomorrow morning to focus on bombing Haleiwa. Major General Zeng said.

Major General Chen Daopei nodded, understanding what the third major general Zeng Province meant.

On the afternoon of 10 September, the Imperial Navy's 1st and 2nd Carrier Strike Groups flew more than 200 sorties of carrier-based aircraft to bomb Oahu, especially the coastal fortifications on the coast, which were the key targets of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft. The shore fortifications that the U.S. military had worked so hard to build were destroyed a lot under the bombardment of the Imperial Navy.

The five 'Five Emperor-class' battleships of the 3rd Battleship Detachment of the Imperial Navy also joined in and began to carry out heavy artillery bombardment on Oahu. Not so long ago, battleships were the absolute protagonists of naval battles. But now the battleship has been reduced to a supporting role for air defense to bomb the island and provide protection for the aircraft carrier. However, even if it is a supporting role, it needs to be done well.

On the sea 15 kilometers from Oahu, five 'Five Emperor-class' battleships lined up and began to fire wildly. The 381-mm main gun spewed out a series of crimson flames, smashing heavy shells into the US coastal defense positions.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The cannon roared on the sea, as if it were thunder.

A 381-mm shell hit a machine-gun bunker of the American army, and the bunker was easily penetrated by the heavy shells, and after the shell exploded, the entire bunker was blown to pieces, and the machine guns inside and the American soldiers stationed inside had long since disappeared, perhaps they had been blown into minced meat.

The Imperial Navy dispatched warplanes and carrier-based aircraft to continuously attack Oahu, which also made the U.S. forces on the island feel like a great enemy. They all know that by doing so, the Chinese Navy is clearing the way for the landing of the Marines. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before Oahu will be captured by Chinese marines.

At half past six o'clock in the morning of September 11, the Imperial Navy dispatched 24 dive bombers and 24 torpedo planes on horizontal bombing missions, and under the cover of fighters, focused on bombing the beaches of Haleiva. Dive bombers used accurate bombs to destroy the US shore fortifications one after another. Torpedo planes, on the other hand, carpet bombs were dropped on the beach to destroy the torpedoes planted by the U.S. forces and reduce casualties when the troops landed.

On the sea, as many as twenty cruisers and destroyers, led by five 'Five Emperor-class' battleships, were also firing frantically at the beaches of Haleiva. Dense shells, raining down, made the entire beach of Haleiwa feel like a plough is being plowed.

After completing the preparation of artillery fire, units of a regiment of the 1st Marine Division began to land in landing craft. (To be continued.) )
