"Chirp...boom~boom!!" The USS Arizona battleship was hit. The most tragic thing is that the 30,000-ton battleship was hit at the front ammunition depot!

This immediately detonated the ammunition in the battleship, and then caused a shocking explosion! The sailors on the Arizona were desperate and felt the battleship slowly sinking during the explosion.

"Boom!!" The smokeless powder magazine in the main turret was detonated by the fire, and the entire battleship was stunned! But then it sank directly to the seabed at a faster speed...

"Oh God..." Countless people cried out in despair, but this did not stop the battleship from remaining silent. In just a few minutes, the 30,000-ton battleship was swallowed by the sea water.

Including the captain, Colonel Van Valkenberg, a total of 1,177 officers and soldiers of the USS Arizona were killed in the explosion...

"Thud, tut, tug..." Finally, a small number of US military aircraft were able to take off. They began to chase the Japanese fighter planes that were performing bombing missions, trying to reduce the pressure on the ships below.

But what greeted them was the Japanese Navy's Zero fighters. These fighters held them back, and then the bombers and torpedo planes continued their own missions, carrying out comprehensive bombing of the intended targets on the water and on the ground.

"We have been attacked! All soldiers please rush back to the camp immediately! Repeat! We have been attacked! All soldiers please rush back to the camp immediately!" Radio kgmb immediately interrupted its program after the Japanese army began to attack and kept calling through the radio station

The soldiers who were scattered everywhere returned to their fighting posts.

The shrill air defense sirens constantly echoed over Hawaii. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun firing positions were reserved, and the shore defense soldiers rushed into attack positions.

At this time, the US military, which had regained its composure, finally made some counterattacks and was no longer passively beaten.

"Buzz buzz..." The roar of the plane came from the sky. It was a B-17 flying from the United States. At this time, they finally arrived at Shigam Airport.

But what greeted them was a large number of Japanese fighter planes. These poor planes had no idea that they would be attacked. The fuel was already low all the way and the pilots were extremely tired.

The worst thing is that they are all in transit and there is no ammunition on the plane at all.

"Boom, boom...boom!!" A B-17 was blown up in the air, turning into a ball of fireworks and falling from the sky. The remaining B-17s were forced to avoid the attacks of Japanese fighter planes while searching for

Opportunity crash landing.

The attack continued, and 18 dive bombers from the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier also arrived at this time. They kept circling around, gritting their teeth, trying to find the attacking Japanese fleet.

"Idiot! Don't you have radar? Let them turn on the radar and look for you!" In the White House, Roosevelt saw Pao Yenu for the first time. At this time, Tu Sanpao was like a man-eating tiger with both eyes open.

The round stare looks extremely impressive.

"Since the Japanese are using planes to fight, then the fleet must be nearby! Didn't your radar see each other before? Determine the direction and let the plane find it along the direction! It must be nearby!"

Washington had received the report from Pearl Harbor and held an emergency meeting. Gunman, who was a guest in the White House, was invited by Marshall to attend the meeting.

The "Hinomaru" painted by the Japanese Navy was too obvious. The U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor immediately determined that the attack on them was a fleet from Japan.

When it came to the war against Japan, Marshall believed that Gun Master had more say. So he strongly invited San Pao to attend the meeting, and sure enough! San Pao revealed the secret with one word.

Marshall suddenly realized this and quickly asked his adjutant to order Pearl Harbor to turn on the radar to look for those damn sneak attackers. In fact, this is not the fault of Marshall and the air force. At this time, radar had just been used in actual combat not long ago.

Therefore, no one thought of using radar to find the Japanese fleet.

The gunman was irritated and frowned for a while before he said to Marshall: "Don't let the navy go deep into the battle. They are well prepared this time. If they rush up rashly, they might just be a trap."

"Just scare them away. What's important now is to pay attention to whether those fools will capture other islands. After all, your main force has been attacked, and you will definitely not be able to organize a counterattack for the time being. These fools will definitely find a way to occupy some islands..."

Gun Ye talked about a variety of possibilities in one breath, and Marshall calmed down and began to analyze the purpose of this Japanese battle. There is no doubt that their purpose of this battle is to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

But what motivates them to do this? You know, doing this doesn't bring much benefit to them! In addition to completely offending the United States.

"These bastards! These damn Japanese guys must be plotting against Southeast Asia!" Marshall suddenly came to his senses. Now France is in tragedy, and Britain is in danger.

And those European countries' colonies in Southeast Asia must be in panic now. Japan is already short of resources, how can it not be tempted to see such a big piece of fat?!

But the Pacific Fleet and the relationship between the United States and Europe make them very afraid. Therefore, they have now made a choice: destroy the United States Pacific Fleet first.

When the United States was unable to send troops from the Pacific, it occupied Southeast Asia and snatched those resources to supplement itself. Marshall became a little angry and the gunman had reminded him of this matter before.

But he really didn't expect that the Japanese were really that bold! But it was normal if he thought about it carefully. Germany's successive victories in Europe gave Japan confidence.

And if they don't get resources anymore, this war won't be able to go on.

"Inform MacArthur. The Philippines must step up its alert! The whole country has entered a state of first-level combat readiness. Please ask the Governor of Hawaii to introduce wartime laws in Hawaii and establish a military-based governing body..."

After Marshall whispered his guess to Roosevelt, the president immediately issued a series of orders to the Secretary of State beside him. The orders were compiled one by one and spread along the radio waves to various places.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor continued, and the U.S. military had no way to stop these Japanese attacks. The slight resistance did not attract too much attention from the Japanese. They completely controlled the sky above Pearl Harbor and bombed the entire Pearl Harbor wantonly.

.

"Woo~woo..." The Japanese dive bombers began to enter the attack mode. At this time, their bombing had spread to the entire island. Ships outside the harbor and in the north of the island began to be strongly attacked by the Japanese army.

The angry US military tried to recover some of its disadvantages, but was unable to do anything against the Japanese fighter planes flying in the sky.

At 1o:oo in the morning, the first wave of Japanese aircraft attacking Pearl Harbor returned to the warships. At the same time, the US reconnaissance planes that determined the direction through radar also saw the Japanese warships from a distance.

Since the Japanese planes were taking off and landing everywhere, no one noticed the different plane in the distance. The pilot who saw the Japanese fleet immediately contacted the Enterprise via radio and reported the situation here.

At this time, the Enterprise and its fleet were less than 300 nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor. Nagumo Chuichi's First Air Fleet was only more than 300 nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor.

"It is confirmed that four battleships were sunk, and the enemy's airport was also severely damaged. Although the resistance has intensified, I recommend another attack." Mizuo Fuchida reported to Nagumo Tadikai who was asking about the situation after returning home.

The commander of the Second Air Force, Major General Yamaguchi Tawen, who was standing next to him, also said solemnly: "Your Excellency, Commander, my suggestion is the same as Fuchida's. I suggest that Your Excellency, Commander, launch another attack!"

"If we can destroy more oil, torpedoes, docks and infrastructure of the US military, then they will not pose a threat to the empire for at least one to two years. In this way, the empire can calmly carry out its Southeast Asia strategy."

The suggestions of these two people were not adopted by Nagumo Chuichi, but he shook his head and said solemnly: "First of all, we have achieved the expected results. There is no need to take greater risks, have you noticed?!"

"Two-thirds of our losses came from the second wave of attacks. Launching a third wave of attacks would risk using three-quarters of the combined fleet to destroy the target, and the fleet would lose more aircraft."

After a pause, Chuichi Nagumo said to the two of them: "Secondly, we don't know the location of the US aircraft carrier, whether there are any remaining aircraft at the US air base that can pose a threat to the fleet, and whether the fleet is within the range of enemy aircraft. The reason for this is

Extremely adventurous.”

"The most important thing is that we did not plan to carry out a third wave of attacks at the beginning. If we make a temporary decision now, we will need a period of preparation. It may even be at night when the plane returns..." Nagumo Chuichi said with a wry smile:

"Our pilots probably haven't reached the British level of skills that can take off and land on a deck at night, right?!"

Nagumo Chuichi's words can only make the two of them sigh. What he said is a fact that cannot be ignored. Now the only thing to do is to withdraw from this area as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the US military finds out, he may not be able to escape unscathed.

"Declaring the operation over! Once everyone comes back, we will evacuate immediately!"

"Hai!!"

At 1:40 pm Washington time, Kurusu Saburo, who had gone to the United States to assist Ambassador Nomura Koshisaburo in negotiations, walked into the White House in a panic.

He was quickly met by US Secretary of State Hull, and then he handed over the ultimatum scheduled to be delivered by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"We already know, you can go!" U.S. Secretary of State Hull looked at Saburo Kurusu and said this through gritted teeth coldly. Just more than ten minutes ago, the White House received a telegram from Pearl Harbor - The Encounter of the United States

Attacked!

But this so-called "ultimatum" was forty minutes later than the attack! After driving Kurusu Saburo out of the White House, Hull, who was holding the report, smashed the report on the ground and roared angrily.

!

"This is the most despicable government and the most hypocritical and distorted document I have ever seen in my 50 years in office!!"
