At 6 o'clock in the morning Hawaii time, two Japanese submarines had been sunk or sunk by the United States, but the intelligence was collected to the Naval Intelligence Center, but it was not taken seriously. The officer on duty did not believe that the submarine had actually been spotted, although he had heard the sound of gunfire in the distance, but it was probably just a mistake in identification, as had happened before, with whales or floating objects being mistaken for German submarines, usually in the early hours of the morning.

At the same time, 419 is moving away from Hawaii and preparing to evacuate and recover drones in predetermined waters. Cheng Dayang deliberately released the towed sonar to increase the listening range. He noticed that a U.S. aircraft carrier was hovering south of Pearl Harbor, probably Halsey's way to Midway or Wake Island. Before landing, the drone monitored the signal from the long-range warning radar on the highest point of the Crow Mountains on Oahu, and listened to the call of the American bombers in the east, but 419 could not make any warning.

The huge Japanese fleet in the north began to move on time, and the Zero fighters on the Akagi were the first to take off with a roar. The fighter jet, which had nothing to carry except the drop fuel tank, slid across a short runway and rushed out of the deck, and then sank to the deck out of sight. A few seconds later, in everyone's anticipation, the plane pulled up. The sailors on both sides of the flight deck waved their hats and saw off the departing team members in this traditional way.

The planes on the six aircraft carriers in a rectangular arrangement take off one after another, and they will not be grouped according to the aircraft carrier flight team, but will be combined into three groups according to the three types of aircraft types.

The attack plan was complex and unusual, and the routes of the three air groups were also different.

The Zero fighter jets will cross Oahu, leap over the island's highest mountains, and attack the U.S. Army's Wheeler airfield, and then disperse the attack on the island's two remaining U.S. airfields in case enemy aircraft take to the skies. The 97 ships loaded with * could not attack from the land direction, it had to fly along the west side of Oahu and enter from the harbor in a large circle, so that it could get a good angle to launch at the enemy fleet stationed at anchor*. Dive bombers carrying 250 kg* and horizontal bombers (97 attackers) carrying 800 kg* followed closely behind them.

The timing of the convergence of the three groups at the head of the enemy must be precise. In fact, if the departure from the Kuril Islands from the entire fleet is calculated, the tortuous and cautious approach along the way, coupled with the smokescreen of deliberate diplomatic concessions, the whole plan is undoubtedly the most complex military operation in the history of mankind.

When the first fighter to take off was in formation over the formation, the stubby and sturdy shipburst began to take off, which was a precision-guided weapon of the World War II era, and under the control of experienced pilots, this kind of ammunition could be thrown directly at the target. Even by the time the 419 was built, the accuracy of large-angle dive bombing was still higher than that of CCIP bombs using computer ballistic calculations and radar ground speed measurements, and it was generally believed that it was higher than that of satellite guidance*. The only problem was that the aircraft could only carry a 250-kilogram class * due to engine drag.

The commander of the first attack wave, Mitsu Fuchida and Yunakasa, sat in a three-seat horizontal bomber, waiting for the final takeoff. This is the heaviest aircraft that can be carried on an aircraft carrier, with decisive firepower and relatively strong communication capabilities. They must fly at the rear take-off point of the aircraft carrier, using a full runway.

After the ship attack took off, a total of 189 fighters, forming a huge formation, began to pounce on the enemy. On the eastern sea, a rising sun is rising.

This is indeed a deliberately chosen timing, if it is too early, it is difficult to launch a dark attack from the air; Too late, after the exercise, the US military will strengthen its combat positions. Therefore, the staff officers of the military command department took great pains to choose such a sailor who was having breakfast, and most of the officers were sleeping lazily on weekend mornings. The whole plan of the Japanese was so complete and so well thought out that there were hardly any extra-calculating circumstances, except that the question of how the war would end was not carefully considered.

Fuchida Nakasa turned on the radio and could receive civilian radio programs from the American side, which he even used for navigation. He had a hundred cloths tied to his head that read Victory, and a saber in his hand. Now he was apprehensive, wondering if the enemy would be wary.

The local music on the radio became clearer and clearer, and by the time the plane came out of the clouds, the islands in front were clearly visible. There was a clear sky ahead, and there was not a single aircraft in sight. Nakasa didn't know that as early as 40 minutes ago, his flight group had been seen by the US radar on the top of the mountain, and such a period of time was enough to sound the alarm to take off fighters, prepare ground air defense fire, and even have time to let some ships leave the port; But luck was again on the side of the Japanese, and the news of the approach of the organic group from the radar station was mistaken by the intelligence center for a B17-shaped bomber flying from the mainland. Purely from the military history of mankind, it is true that luck is always on the side of gamblers.

The fleet began to disperse as planned after entering the southern tip of Oahu, with the Zero heading straight for Wheeler Airfield, half of which targeted P40 fighters along the runway, as well as nearby hangar oil depots. The other half will attack the more far-reaching Hikeim airfield, and the latest intelligence suggests that the U.S. military has dispersed some of its aircraft, some on the outer islands.

The bomber group parted ways with the fighters and began to turn westward.

7:50 a.m. The military port is vividly visible, and Fuchida can be sure that the enemy is absolutely defenseless. Using the telegraph button, he sent three short signals to the fleet, signaling that the breakthrough was successful. Then he used the intercom and made the famous tiger and tiger call.

419, which was recovering the drone, fully monitored this communication of the Japanese army, which was the first time in nearly half a month that the entire mobile unit had sent a radio signal.

The theoretical range of the 97 ship-attack radio is about 100 kilometers, but how far the signal can be transmitted after the reflection of the sky wave also depends on many uncertain factors.

Yamamoto Fifty-six who was sitting on the Nagato, and Lin Xiuxuan, who was hiding in a madhouse near the bridge of the boat, also received a signal from the fighter plane to Nagumo at the same time. Together, they will be informed of the battle ahead through the various communications they will subsequently receive.

On the street, a line of U.S. Marines is on a drill. On some warships, they were waiting for 8 o'clock sharp, for the flag-raising ceremony. There was a buzzing cloud on the western horizon, and he was approaching.

Fuchida carefully observed the battlefield from 20 kilometers away, and he realized that the arrival of the * plane was a little late, and he had to signal the dive bombers that were rushing to the stage, telling them to wait for the * plane to drop * first before joining the attack; This is to avoid explosions and flames caused by high-altitude bombers after dropping bombs, interfering with the targeting of low-altitude and horizontal bombers.

He pulled open the hatch and fired a red flare at his head. But not all 99 ship-blown pilots saw this flare rising. Some bombers were flying in the clouds. So Fuchida fired the second flare after 1 minute.

As with any complex plan, surprises are inevitable.

High in the air, a shipburst plane from the Wyvern saw two flares, which were the signals for an arbitrary attack as agreed in advance, although the two flares were separated by a bit of a long time. So he no longer cares about the order of attack, and rushes directly to his favorite prey. For the Japanese army, which had weak communication and coordination capabilities, such chaos was inevitable, but it came earlier.

This near-perfect operation finally had its first minor flaw, certainly not the only one. At the same time as the pilot shouted and pounced on the target, two Japanese diplomats from far away in Washington were on their way to the US State Department, carrying with them the Japanese government's declaration of war documents. No matter how much history has been changed by the appearance of 419 or Makino and others, the late declaration of war by the Japanese seems to be doomed.

The bomber flew straight towards the spectacular battleship USS West Virginia. Even at a distance of 2 kilometers, this warship, equipped with 8 16-inch guns, still looks so majestic.

The pilot's second-class pilot Takayoshi Tsuchiya pressed the lever to one side, and the plane rolled sharply to turn the nose downward, because the negative G of the plane's downward maneuver was insufficient, so the pilots during World War II often rolled to quickly aim at the ground target, rather than a dull dive.

There is a simple perpendicular line on the side of the windshield of the aircraft, which, combined with the scale on the glass, allows you to clearly see the angle of the aircraft's dive. In 2 seconds, it was close to 80°.

The pilot retracts the throttle with his left hand, then leaves the throttle valve and places it on the bomb lever. With the flaps down, the sturdy plane began to shake violently, and it was approaching its target at nearly half the speed of sound.

A poorly sealed cockpit could not block the terrifying screams of air currents from the outside, but the pilots turned a deaf ear. He can't reach a full 90-degree vertical, and there is a risk of hitting the propeller by dropping a bomb like that, so even if you aim at a dumb warship, you have to calculate some amount of advance, and of course the only way to offset the error is to get as close as possible.

The enemy's bow crane gradually passed from the crosshair of the bomb, and he continued to stabilize the plane, trying to stabilize the movement of the crosshair on the longitudinal axis of the warship. Turret No. 1, coming into view, he was patient, and the target was getting bigger and bigger. In principle, he had to drop the bomb at a safe distance of 1200 meters, of course, if you want to increase the accuracy of hitting, you can relax a little.

As soon as the crosshair moved to the second turret, he pulled down the bomb stick and then pulled up the plane. Although he did not have a ranging device, he could clearly see the face of the sailor below, estimated to be within 700 meters.

The plane, having lost its 250 kg load, began to pull up desperately. The American soldiers below watched a plane rushing down and pulling it up again, most of them thought it was some troublemaker from the air team, and wanted to play tricks on the female nurse in the nearby hospital in this way.

* Hit the top of the turret with precision, instantly slicing through the weak armor at the top. The delayed fuse causes the * to explode when it falls into a deep shaft of the Bomb Lifter. Immediately detonated the ammunition depot under the turret. The time was exactly 8 o'clock and 10 seconds missing.

The hoisting ceremony on board the Nevada began on time. The military band conductor waved his baton, and the orchestra immediately began to play the national anthem. Nine Zero fighters, which were attacking the Hikeim Army airfield, were crossing the bay at a height slightly above the bridge. The white planes brushed past the masts one after another, and they were close enough to see the bright red plaster flags on their hulls.

The conductor couldn't help but speed up his hands, he hoped to complete the national anthem as soon as possible, and the small guard of honor who was holding a gun salute at the bow of the ship couldn't help but start looking around. Smoke had risen in West Virginia in the distance.
