.

At 55 o'clock, according to Zhang Baolong's order, the dive bomber first dives at the Hiffel Airport, Catre Airport, and Meku Airport. After all, the battleships could not fly into the sky. The US planes could fly to the sky immediately, posing a serious threat to Zhang Baolong's aircraft formation.

At this time, most of the US Air Force were having lunch break leisurely, and no one was willing to fly the plane in the scorching sun. The human rights of Americans must be guaranteed. The powerful trade union organization has officially notified the US president that in the future, the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, and the poor Air Force soldiers must not be forced to work in high temperatures exceeding 39 degrees.

Therefore, in order to reduce the pressure of paying wages, the commander of the US Air Force always kindly set the attack time at 9:00 am Road 945 am, and started a happy romantic noon with the club. Therefore, when Zhang Baolong and others flew over these airports, they were surprised to find that thousands of planes were arranged neatly on the airport.

It was only then that for the sake of convenience and management, the airport arranged aircraft densely on the taxi curve between the runway and the apron, calling it "easy to take safety warning measures." However, they did not consider that once an air strike was attacked, as long as a bomb exploded, it would quickly affect all aircraft!

Of course, considering that Chinese planes flying from other directions will be discovered hundreds of nautical miles away, this arrangement is understandable, but when the Chinese raid fleet broke through many difficulties and appeared on the back of the US military, the weakness of this arrangement was exposed, and the radar stations behind it were too sparse. It was not until Zhang Baolong flew over the sky that he discovered the target, but it was too late.

The spectacular scene in sight made Zhang Baolong stunned, and then issued an order:

"The bomber immediately starts attacking the enemy's airport. After destroying all the enemy aircraft, continue to attack the enemy's attached equipment, such as oil depots and water fields, priority attack. After these two types of targets are completed, you can decide the attack target by yourself. Remember, this is a war zone, and bombs can be dropped on every inch of land!"

For a moment, shrapnel flew everywhere at the airport, fires soaring into the sky, and thick smoke rose. Rows of planes were blown up on the curve, and the US military immediately became in chaos. The anti-aircraft machine gun positions began to shoot sporadic barrage, but they were soon blown into ashes by Chinese bombers.

Once the anti-aircraft machine gun position does not have dense launch barrage, then there is no power to fight back when facing high-speed aircraft. The lunch break that was originally won for rest now costs the Americans. Most people rest forever, only a few meters away from their positions.

At this time, the torpedo plane had already flown to the shipyard. Major General Zhang Baolong restrained his desire to attack and led other aircraft to continue moving forward. In front of the spacious observation window, the US Pacific Fleet appeared in front of him bit by bit, and in the vast bay, there were more than twenty battleships and dozens of aircraft carriers quietly parked in the vast bay. Similarly, these huge battleships were parked side by side at the berth.

This is what Zhang Baolong did not expect. The warships he saw, no matter how powerful the protection in the port is, are all placed separately to avoid being attacked. You should know that if the two battleships are parked together, their maneuverability will be greatly restricted. If the battleships that are already very slow cannot be effectively avoided, the consequences will not be difficult to predict.

However, Zhang Baolong would not give up his mission because of the stupidity of the Americans. He immediately ordered

"The torpedo fleet is divided into two teams, accelerating the attack battleships along the Western Gulf, and leveling the plane to attack the eastern aircraft carriers. After receiving Zhang Baolong's order, the 540 torpedo aircraft were divided into two batches, one batch of 216 attacking the battleships anchored on the west side of Meiku, and the other batch of 324 conducting key attacks on the east side of Meiku.

At 11:58, Major General William Fron, the commander of the US minecraft fleet, saw a plane diving and dropping bombs. At first, he thought it was an accident in which the pilot accidentally touched the bomb button. After a closer look, the bright red golden dragon aircraft emblem on the plane was in sight. So he realized that it was a Chinese air strike and immediately ordered warships in the port to leave the port to avoid it.

Almost at the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Loganremsa rushed into Meku Command, ordered the control Tara to sound the air strike alarm, and announced in spoken radio that the Bay of Cabernatalia was air strike! This is not an exercise! Then, General Walton, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, ordered that the amazing news be notified to all troops in the Pacific Fleet by radio.

At the same time, the sporadic counterattack of the US military also began, and some anti-aircraft artillery on US ships opened fire. The Peninsula Army's 533 anti-aircraft artillery company opened fire. Most anti-aircraft artillery shells were still in the ammunition depot and there was no time to put them into operation. The US military had almost no organized resistance in the entire Gulf of Cabernaya. The reason for this dilemma is that the US military is almost not guarding against attacks from the rear, so those anti-aircraft artillery positions could only sigh beyond reach.

This tragic air strike hit the US Air Force hard. According to post-war statistics, the US military lost more than 1,500 aircraft in the first air strike, almost 60 in the US Air Force in this area. However, the Americans made a blockbuster film after the war, which described the battle in this way.

"Five pilots from the 57th Deporter Squadron of the US Army saw that the Catre Airport where they were located had been severely damaged and could not take off the plane, so they immediately took two cars to the remote Harroa Airport braved the artillery fire of Chinese planes. China obviously did not notice that there were 5p-40 and 1 p-36 on this small airport. Liebron, Liebron, Liebrgers and Liebrons of Robert Rogers and Liebrons took off in the 5p-40 fighter jets. This was the first batch of aircraft to take off for the US military.

Over the Cape Barbers, the 12 Chinese torpedo planes were launched in fierce battles, shooting down three Chinese torpedo planes. It is worth mentioning that in the air battle, one of the three machine guns of Lieutenant Will's plane was stuck due to continuous fire overheating, and Taylor's arm and thigh were injured. They had just landed, Will's machine gun had not cooled yet, and Taylor had not received first aid. The second batch of fifteen Chinese torpedo planes roared again, and the two immediately took off to meet the enemy.

Chinese planes seized a favorable position behind Taylor's plane. They were preparing to attack, but Will quickly turned around to target Taylor's most threatening Chinese torpedo aircraft. (Author's note: I really can't see that a torpedo function produces a p-40: + The plane caught fire and crashed, and Taylor got it.

Then he turned to sea to pursue another Chinese plane, and shot it down just off the coast with a rapid and accurate shooting.

This batch of American aircraft fought hard in the air. A total of 7 Chinese aircraft were shot down, including Second Lieutenant Taylor and Second Lieutenant Will shot down 2 and 4 respectively, so both were awarded excellent service. Second Lieutenant Will achieved the highest record in the Bay of Cabernatalia and became the number one hero in the Bay of Cabernatalia. Of course, for some considerations, the United States did not announce that most of the aircraft shot down were torpedo aircraft.

Later, the US military took off 25 aircraft from various airports, but due to insufficient warehouse preparations, they were not well coordinated. Some were shot down by Chinese aircraft, and some were shot down by their own anti-aircraft artillery, which failed to effectively stop China's attack. (The author's note: I really can't understand the logic of the Americans, how big a threat can pose to 2,000 aircraft). "

In the film, you can see Chinese planes crashing with thick smoke from time to time. The US soldiers are very brave. Anyone who catches them is Superman, who can resist heavy machine guns and shoot down Chinese enemy planes with the accuracy of the gun. The winner of this war is more like Americans.

However, on this day, China was the real winner, and China's first wave of attack targets were mainly US warships. Due to its close distance, USS Arizona was first baptized. The USS Arizona was hit with two torpedoes and was later hit by four 800 grams bombs. What's even more deadly was that one of the bombs penetrated the fore deck. The explosion in the ammunition compartment triggered a earth-shaking explosion, causing the ship to sink in a few minutes, and none of the 1,000 officers and soldiers on the ship survived.

Six torpedoes were hit on the port side of the USS West Virginia. Although the damage officers tried hard to rescue him, they still could not control their left tilt and eventually overturned and sank. The second-class cook on the USS West Virginia, Taurus Miller, actively rescued the wounded, and then operated anti-aircraft machine guns to violently shoot Chinese aircraft. It was precisely because of his brave performance that he became the first black soldier in the US Navy to receive the Excellent Service Cross Medal, and was personally awarded the medal by General Dinimitz, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet.

The "California" was hit by three torpedoes below the bridge, below the three turrets and in the middle of the port side. An 800-gram bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the cabin, causing the bow to rise and sank to the bottom of the sea. The "Oklahoma" was hit by three torpedoes one after another. Because the ship's water tightness was poor, the explosion opened many watertight doors, and the sea water surged in. In addition, the captain was not on the ship and had no command, so it quickly sank.

Although the Tennessee was hit only three bombs, it was squeezed by the outside "West Virginia" when it sank, and was exploded by the "Arizona", which was only 23 meters away from behind, causing fires in many superstructures, causing severe damage. The "Maryland" was hit by two bombs, which was the least injured and the earliest repair of all battleships.

The Nevada was hit on the port side by a torpedo, but fortunately it was not a key part. The raging fire on the adjacent Arizona posed even more threats to the Nevada than the Chinese aircraft. So the actual commander of the Navy Major Froncis Toms decided to anchor and leave the port to avoid it. The sailor Edwin Hill bravely jumped into the water and swam to the dock, unbuttoned the cables, so that the Nevada could set sail quickly.

The breakout of the Nevada became the most thrilling battle in the first wave of air strikes. When the Nevada retreated from the anchorage without any tugboat assistance and successfully entered the exit channel, the surrounding warships exploded and caught fire, and the heat was abnormal. The gunners on the Nevada had to hold the shells to prevent them from being heated and exploded.

The "Nevada" sailed to the narrowest part of the waterway in front of the shipyard with thick smoke. The dive bomber commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Xinghun discovered this situation. Zhao Xinghun decided to use this opportunity to carry out a concentrated attack and sank it on the channel to completely close the Caberna Bay. In order to disperse the US military's air defense firepower, Chinese aircraft launched an attack from the southeast and southwest directions at the same time. The "Nevada" hit six bombs in a row and was seriously injured. Seeing that there was no breakthrough, Thoms was afraid that the warship would sink on the channel and block the channel, he immediately ran aground in the shallows southwest of Meku.

And the US aircraft carrier was also subjected to the same terrible attack.

The "Philippine Sea" aircraft carrier is at the outermost periphery and is also subject to the most violent attack. It took only ten minutes from receiving an alarm to the plane flying to its head. At this time, the wide deck of the "Philippine Sea" was filled with planes. In an hour, it was time to carry out the mission. These planes were refueling and could take off in a while.

However, after receiving the alarm, the aircrew had to push these expensive aircraft down the deck in a hurry to prevent them from being trapped by the Chinese Air Force, and then let some aircraft take off and take off without the aircraft carriers sailing at high speed. However, it is better to do this than to wait for death.

Then, the "Philippine Sea" was surrounded by torpedo aircraft. Above the huge figure of the "Philippine Sea", the Chinese torpedo aircraft seemed so small, like an exquisite toy. However, the torpedoes shot by these toys were the nemesis of a behemoth like an aircraft carrier. Because they had no maneuver, the first round of torpedo attacks achieved an astonishing hit rate.

The torpedo aircraft besieging the "Philippine Sea" launched a total of 56 torpedoes, of which 34 accurately hit the "Philippine Sea", causing a huge chain explosion. At this time, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the "Philippine Sea" also discovered the torpedo aircraft. They began to fire frantically, but they could not disperse these annoying uninvited guests.

It can be said that the God of Luck has taken great care of the "Philippine Sea". It miraculously avoided the attack of more than twenty torpedoes. Considering the inability to maneuver, this is almost a miracle! But it still cannot help it escape the bad luck. It poured in turbulently.

Then, after a shocking explosion, the hull began to tilt seriously and quickly sank into the water. Three minutes later, the "Philippine Sea" sank, and only 258 people were rescued, and 2,874 people were killed. Shortly after the "Philippine Sea" sank, the Antitan, the Princeton, the Shangri-La, and the Chamberlain Lake also followed suit and became a pile of garbage in the Pacific Ocean.
