After observing Pearl Harbor shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames for a while, Kanfu Kengoro triumphantly gave the order to attack.This time, the Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft he was driving did not have a Type 91 torpedo, but an 800-kilogram armor-piercing bomb.The target of the bombing also became the fortress area by the port, where the 10-inch and 12-inch cannons posed a great threat to the army and navy attacking Pearl Harbor and had to be suppressed.As for the US Pacific Fleet... Gan Fu glanced at the port below through the glass cover of the cockpit.I saw that Pearl Harbor, which was crowded with many huge warships in the past, is now a mess, and there are no floating warships on the sea. Those small and medium-sized ships have long since disappeared, either fleeing or sinking into the bottom of the sea .The situation of battleships, heavy cruisers and other large warships is not much better. Except for a few more clever ones who chose to run aground and can now use their anti-aircraft guns to fight with Type 98 warships, the rest of the warships are not overturned. In the water, if the stern is tilted up, it is sitting and sinking in the harbor, exposing a section of the mast or bridge or something.In short, the US Pacific Fleet is completely finished after this battle!Even if the United States has the world's largest industrial production capacity, it will take at least two or three years to rebuild such a fleet, right?By that time, Hawaii would have long been an indestructible fortress in the hands of the Japanese army, and those Yankees who wanted to take it back would have to die hundreds of thousands!

Boom, boom, boom...

Clouds of explosion smoke exploded in the distance, like a curtain wall of blue-gray smoke blocking the way of the Japanese attack fleet.This made Ganfu Kengoro frowned, obviously those Yankees hadn't given up fighting, and they also had the courage to fight against the constantly falling shells and bombs!

“各小组散开。1、2组右侧第一号炮台，3、4组左侧第二号炮台。第5组跟我来，轰炸中间第一号炮台！”

After Ganfu Kengoro hastily issued the command to attack, he pulled the joystick, formed a bombing formation with four other Type 4 attack aircraft, and rushed into the artillery curtain wall directly in front.

"bomb!"

The moment the plane Gan Fu flew over a US military fort, the shouts of the bombardiers rang in his ears, and then Gan Fu felt the plane lighten suddenly, and the whole body jumped upwards.Gan Fu knew that the 800-kilogram bomb had already been dropped.He hurriedly pulled the nose, and the plane quickly climbed high into the sky, flying above the range of the US anti-aircraft guns.Almost at the same moment, the 25 Type 97 shipboard attack aircraft of the entire Chicheng Attack Aircraft Squadron completed their bombing, and 25 800-kilogram bombs were like 25 Thor's hammers hitting the U.S. fort positions.

An 800kg bomb is almost equivalent to a 380mm naval gun shell, and the huge inertia falling from an altitude of 3000 meters gives it a strong penetrating power!If it hits the top of the US military fort directly, of course the entire fort can be reimbursed at once.However, these Type 97 shipboard attack aircraft are not dive bombers after all, they can only drop bombs horizontally, and their accuracy is naturally not worth mentioning. Of the 25 bombs dropped, it would have been a stroke of luck if one of them hit the fort.

Gan Fu circled a few more times over the area of ​​the US military forts, and after noticing thick black smoke rising from the top of one of the forts, he excitedly shook the aircraft's wings and loudly gave the order to return.

At this time, on the sea northeast of Oahu Island, the huge Japanese fleet has shown its true face.Except for the 7 precious aircraft carriers and their escorting light cruisers and destroyers hiding in the deep sea, all the battleships, heavy cruisers, destroyers and transport ships of the entire fleet have been concentrated in this sea area.

Vice Admiral Yamamoto 56 and Vice Admiral Nishio Hiszo are standing side by side on the bridge of the Nagato battleship, holding binoculars, gazing at the US coastal defense positions covered by overwhelming artillery fire.Although it was the Americans who were bombed, the faces of the two Japanese commanders were clouded.Japan's position in this war to carve up the world is quite embarrassing. Almost all senior officers of the army and navy believe that Japan has no strength to win the war, but they have to participate in it!Because the rising Chinese empire next to Japan will not allow her to stay out of the matter at all. If she does not choose a side to join at the beginning of the war, then after the Chinese imperialism defeats Britain and France and becomes a real world empire, what awaits Japan is probably perish. fate!China will never allow a powerful Japan to sleep peacefully on her bedside.

And Japan, which has been overtaken by China, can only serve as cannon fodder in this war instead of a fisherman. The only choice is to be the cannon fodder of Britain and the United States or the cannon fodder of China and Germany!

To be honest, most of the Japanese army and navy generals hope that Japan will become the vanguard of Britain and the United States against China, and together with Britain and the United States, they will defeat China and seize her territory and resources, so as to strengthen Japan's national power!However, China has attracted such an extremely tough ally as Germany, and together with Germany, they destroyed the Soviet Union in a very short period of time... After seeing China's powerful military strength, the Japanese soldiers who have always been defiant also felt deep fear.Perhaps it was due to the psychology of worshiping the strong. Although all the top Japanese military leaders were inclined to Britain and the United States, they did not dare to touch the tiger's ass of the Chinese imperialists at the last moment, but boarded the pirate ship of China and Germany.Uh, no, it should be that they want to join the pirate ship of China and Germany, but the other party still depends on Japan's performance!

Mamoru Shigemitsu, who went to China to discuss the alliance, was left alone. Not only did Luo Yaoguo not see him for many days, but even Wang Jingwei, who had always been pro-Japanese, ignored him.In the end, I found out through Chen Bijun's way that Luo Yaoguo meant to wait until Japan occupied Hawaii and closed the door to the United States' westward advance before considering forming an alliance with Japan... It's really useless!

But what can Japan do?

Yamamoto 56 and Hisao Nishio put down their binoculars and looked at each other. Yamamoto bowed his lower body slightly and said loudly, "Nishio-kun, this is the end of the navy's mission. Next, I will entrust the warriors of the army."

Hisao Nishio nodded, turned around and shouted to Major General Ishihara Kanji, Chief of Staff of the Hawaiian Army behind him, "Command! The landing operation begins now!"

Chapter 0796 Admiral's decision (five) serial set

At 1938:11 a.m. on November 12, 9, in the sea near Laye Beach, northeast of Oahu.

More than a dozen light cruisers and destroyers of the Japanese United Fleet have already driven to a place not far from the beach. A round of 120mm and 140mm shells exploded on the beach like raindrops, sweeping away the remaining obstacles and the suspected US military positions. place.Several destroyers rushing to the front put down their sampans, and the soldiers of the Japanese Marine Corps sat in small sampans with rifles on their backs and rowed towards the coast with all their strength... The Japanese Empire does not have the kind of tanks of more than 1 tons right now. Landing ships are available, and there are no landing craft of tens of tons.Therefore, using a warship or transport ship to carry infantry close to the coast, and then rowing to land is probably the only way to land.

However, the advantage is that the Japanese army has an overwhelming sea and air advantage in this battle. The bombardment of the giant artillery in the previous few hours has already beaten the opponent to the point where they have no power to fight back.Now even these slow-moving, target-like small wooden boats have not suffered any blows.It seems that the U.S. troops on the shore have all been killed by the giant guns of the Japanese ships, right?

This beautiful idea just appeared in the mind of Lieutenant General Hisao Nishio, who was commanding the landing operation on the Nagato battleship, when a group of scorching fireballs suddenly rose around the Japanese marines who had just stepped onto the beach. !

It turned out that this was an American artillery ambushing in a wood about 3 kilometers from the coast, shooting Laye Beach with a 105mm howitzer.The Japanese soldiers who had just climbed onto the beach were also elite. In the face of such a sudden artillery strike, they only panicked for a few seconds before quickly making the most correct response-each of them looked for a favorable terrain to lie down.However, they are now on a beach, and there is not much terrain for cover. Most of them just lie down on the spot motionless, resigned to their fate, and wait for the end of the US bombardment.Of course, their waiting would not last long. Due to the loss of air superiority, the U.S. artillery had to shift positions in time, and each shelling time could not exceed 3 minutes, otherwise they would inevitably be bombed by Japanese aircraft and counterattacked by Japanese naval guns.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the advance fleet is calling. When the vanguard landed on Laye Beach, it was covered by American artillery fire, with more than 300 casualties. However, the American artillery has been suppressed, and the landing force has successfully launched. Now it is clearing minefields and establishing a beachhead. Prepare to wait for the follow-up troops to land before launching an attack on the US positions."

Nishio's eyes did not look at the Chief of Staff Ishihara Waner who reported the situation to him, but stared at the coastline in the distance. Rows of smoke columns were rising and falling. It was obvious that the Japanese fleet was attacking the US defense positions. shelling.

Hisao Nishio put down the binoculars in his hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and tapped lightly on the railing on the bridge of the Nagato, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order, the 6th Regiment, the 13rd Regiment, and the 23th Regiment The order of the 45th Wing and the 47th Wing should land ashore as soon as possible! Consolidate the beachhead, and then attack the US military positions. Before 12 o'clock tonight, the entire Laye Beach must be captured." Speaking of this, the commander A look of excitement flashed across Your Excellency's face. He glanced at Yamamoto beside him, and suddenly shouted: "Send an order to the entire army. Within 3 days, the Hawaiian Front Army must capture the entire Oahu Island and wipe out all the enemy troops!"

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Ishihara Waner didn't move at this time, but took a few steps forward, and walked to Nishio Hiso, with a look of hesitation.

Lieutenant General Xiwei frowned, and asked, "Ishi Yuan-kun, do you have anything to say?"

"Hi!" Ishihara nodded his head heavily, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Commander Yamamoto, I do have a suggestion from you." As he spoke, he glanced at Yamamoto 56 again. "I feel that if the United Fleet is confident of defeating the U.S. Navy's reinforcement fleet, it might as well not destroy the U.S. forces on Oahu for the time being. The United Fleet may use Pearl Harbor as a bait to wipe out the main force of the U.S. Navy in one fell swoop!"

Nishio Hisozou's heart was moved when he heard the words, but his face suddenly became gloomy, and he reprimanded: "Hachihara! Ishihara, you are an army, and you don't understand naval warfare, so don't talk nonsense here!" He bowed slightly to Yamamoto, "Yamamoto Jun, please don’t be surprised, Rear Admiral Ishihara is also eager to win, so he will disregard the United Fleet’s hard work for many days. He is already a tired army. Under such circumstances, it is very dangerous to start a decisive battle with the main force of the US Navy. Maybe... "

Hearing these words, Yamamoto 56 frowned deeply and felt a little unhappy, but what the other party said was also true.Although the United Fleet cannot be said to be at the end of its strength, it is still a little tired, but why didn't the Americans rush to the battle?Moreover, Japan's aviation technology is currently lagging behind that of the United States. Now, relying on the excellent skills of its pilots and the rich experience accumulated in the Far East War, it may still be able to suppress the United States. Negative is even more unpredictable!

"Nishio-kun." Yamamoto56 took a deep breath and interrupted Nishio. "Although Ishihara-kun is not a navy, the principles of military science do not distinguish between the navy and the army. His suggestions are very reasonable." At this point, he turned to Ugaki, chief of staff of the United Fleet, "Currently the United Fleet How long can the supplies and fuel last?"

Ugaki frowned slightly, made some calculations in his mind, and replied: "The fleet's fuel supply can last for about a month, and the supplies can last until the first ten days of December. If the U.S. Navy sends reinforcements to Pearl Harbor, the schedule should be in November." Arrived in the waters near Hawaii around the 1th."

Since the ultimate goal of this "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor" is to occupy Hawaii, the supplies carried by the United Fleet are naturally very sufficient, and even the Japanese Navy's reserves have been collected!If this battle fails, there is really no need to fight this war!Of course, once Hawaii is won, the harvest will be extremely rich.Because the Chinese marshal would never want the industrial giant of the United States to rush out of the Americas and go to Asia...

……

dong dong dong...

A burst of heavy and hurried footsteps suddenly broke the tranquility and leisure in the General Staff Headquarters of the National Defense Forces, attracting all the idle staff members at all levels to cast their expectant eyes.Everyone in this building knows that right now is just the calm before the storm, because after all, China is going all out in a world war that will determine the fate of the country in the next millennium!

It's just that in the past few days after the outbreak of the world war, apart from Japan and the United States fighting hard in Hawaii, the other battlefields have been extremely calm!Whether it is Southeast Asia or Western Europe, even Hong Kong, China has not seen the fierce confrontation imagined.Only German submarines occasionally showed up in the Atlantic Ocean and sank a few lonely British ships. Of course, the momentum of this submarine warfare was much smaller than that of World War I.So now is the time for the big guys to stretch their necks and look forward to the news of the chaos in the world. How can this kind of hurried footsteps be unobtrusive?

And when everyone saw that it was Major General Natalie Lesinskaia who was rushing to Luo Yaoguo's office with a telegram in his hands, they couldn't help saying inwardly: "Has the war started yet? "

This guess is good. What Natalie brought was indeed the news of the start of the Great War, and the Germans began to attack Denmark and Norway.

Luo Yaoguo and Minister of the Navy Chen Sizheng were leaning over the map table to study the plan for the southward campaign. When they heard the news from Natalie, they stood up almost at the same time. Luo Yaoguo was surprised: "The Germans took Oslo, Natalie , any news from Narvik?"

"There is no information in this regard. Commander Long's telegram stated that the 6 battleships, 5 aircraft carriers and 4 armored ships of the Sino-German joint fleet, as well as all the heavy cruisers, have been sent to attack Oslo. They encountered off the coast of Oslo. Intercepted by a torpedo boat, a German minesweeper was sunk by a torpedo boat, and the Norwegian torpedo boat itself was sunk by a German light cruiser. In addition, our anti-aircraft cruiser Canton captured a Norwegian whaling ship participating in the battle... Subsequently, six Zhenyuan-class battleships bombarded the forts of the Oslo Fjord, blasting them into rubble. After seeing the huge combat power of the Sino-German joint fleet, King Haakon VII of Norway wisely chose to surrender. Now that Oslo is completely under the control of the German army, it is estimated that the whole of Norway will soon fall into the hands of Germany."

"Will the British be indifferent?" Luo Yaoguo walked to a map of Europe hanging on the east wall of the office, squinted his eyes for a while, shook his head, and said, "Narvik is an ice-free port, and it is also in winter The choke point for transporting Swedish iron ore to Germany. Why should the German high command give it up to the British?"

Although in this time and space, Swedish iron ore is no longer necessary for Germany, they can still buy iron ore from the Russian Empire, but the cost is much higher and the quality is not as satisfactory.Therefore, Hitler should not allow the British to control Narvik unless he has bigger plans.

"Auxiliary Commander, it seems that the Germans want to compete with the British Navy in the waters near Norway." Chen Si had already received the telegram from Natalie at this time, read it carefully, and said with a frown own conclusions. "Not only did the Germans not move Narvik, they didn't even take Bergen. Obviously, they wanted to give these two places to the British occupation, and once the British Army captured Bergen and Narvik, they would Naturally, the Chinese navy was trapped and had to leave Scapa Flow to fight the Sino-German joint fleet. Moreover, once the British fleet came to the coast of Norway, their land-based aircraft would not be able to provide air support. The German Air Force could Use the airport on Norwegian territory to take off and provide air cover for the combined Sino-German fleet. In this way, the British home fleet, which has a huge numerical advantage, will definitely be defeated by Germany, which has air superiority!" Speaking of this, Chen Si is full of confidence , the voice also raised a bit. "Assistant Marshal, I feel that this trap will definitely trap the British, so the British home fleet must suffer heavy losses. Should we send troops to attack Nanyang immediately?"

"Let's continue to stand still! Natalie, send a power call to Marshal Jiang Zhongzheng. The Chinese Expeditionary Force will not enter Persia for the time being, and wait for further instructions."

Luo Yaoguo's answer greatly exceeded the expectations of the Minister of the Navy.He glanced at Chen Si who was surprised, and said with a faint smile: "Hualong, Britain and France are already dead bones in the grave, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated. However, if we in China want to truly possess enough spoils, we cannot just Think about the war in front of you, but focus on the layout after the war." He walked to the Pacific Ocean chart on the table, stopped, and raised his finger to Hawaii, "That is the gate that shuts the United States out of Asia. If the Japanese can take Hawaii, we should find a way to help them hold it there... But it is not enough to lock the Americans out, the German one should also find a chain to lock him in Europe and Africa , so that we can develop with peace of mind! After all, China's national power is still much weaker than that of the United States and Germany."

Chen Siwen was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Assistant Commander, you mean to let the UK serve as the chain to tie Germany? But does the UK have such strength?"

"Britain does not." Luo Yaoguo smiled deeply: "But the United States has such strength! The Yankees will not give up the British Isles as a forward base for entering Europe unless it is a last resort, and they don't want to see a complete rule. The German Empire appeared in Europe and Africa." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "So, we don't need to rush south now, at least we have to wait until the results of the decisive battle between Britain and Germany come out before making a conclusion. If the British Navy If they are defeated, they will definitely transfer their fleet and army from Southeast Asia and India to defend their homeland, and we might as well let them go back... In addition, India does not need to rush to seize it, and the UK can make a final search so that it can buy weapons from the United States for defense Native."

"But what if Germany is defeated?" Natalie reminded in a low voice: "The navy of the British Empire has dominated the world for hundreds of years, so it won't be so vulnerable?"

Luo Yaoguo frowned, will the German navy be defeated by the British?Of course it was defeated in history, but the German navy in this time and space has been fully developed, not only has 3 super battleships (6 battleships if you count the Chinese expeditionary fleet), but also established an aircraft carrier with 5 aircraft carriers combat power.In addition, the German planes were also one step ahead of the British!Thinking of this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Losing is inevitable, at most it's a situation where both sides suffer, but that's better... If the Germans can't seize the command of the English Channel, they will naturally have no way to conquer Britain." , if the UK is slowly consuming it with Germany, and Japan is consuming it with the United States, then we in China can sit back and relax.”

"Jingle bell... Jingle bell..."

At this moment, bursts of rapid phone ringing suddenly woke Luo Yaoguo out of his thoughts.When he looked back at the phone, Natalie had already picked up the receiver.

"What's the matter?" Natalie said: "Ah! What! There is such a thing... Got it, okay, I will notify the assistant commander immediately."

Luo Yaoguo frowned, looked at the surprised Natalie and asked, "Whose phone number?"

"It was Wang Zhaoming, Minister of Foreign Affairs who called. He said that US Ambassador Jason came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly at noon today and informed US Secretary of State Hull that he wanted to come to my country...and at the same time he put forward a very...very attractive proposal. Natalie frowned, "The Americans want to hand over the trusteeship of the Philippines to our country, on the condition that...we help the Philippine US troops and American nationals evacuate."

"What!?" Luo Yaoguo widened his eyes and stared at Natalie, "Did Wang Zhaoming really say that?" Before Natalie could answer, he said to himself again: "What the hell is Roosevelt planning? Could it be that you want to exchange the Philippines for an alliance with us?" He shook his head again, "No, a few days ago we and Germany proposed an alliance with the United States, without any additional conditions, and the United States rejected them all. , they have no reason to add another Philippines for no reason!"

"Supplementary text, will Roosevelt want to use the Philippines, which is doomed to be untenable, to divide our relationship with Japan?" Natalie reminded in a low voice.

"Japan?!"

Luo Yaoguo nodded emphatically, this Roosevelt is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, he actually came up with such a clever plan!Right now, the Japanese are rushing to the front to fight the United States to the death, for nothing more than territory.If the Japanese have worked hard for a long time, and finally China gets the Philippines from the United States for nothing, how will the Japanese feel?Will they foolishly continue to be gunfire for China?
