Chapter 723 Japanese Super Task Force

At 2:00 a.m. on the ocean surface 300 nautical miles northwest of Oahu Island at 2:00 a.m. on December 25, 1940, a huge naval special mixed fleet was passing through the storm.

This huge fleet consists of 14 aircraft carriers, 9 cruisers, 16 destroyers, 12 submarines, 10 oil tankers and 20 transport ships modified by merchant ships.

The huge naval formation stretches for dozens of nautical miles!

This huge naval special-mix fleet has been sailing in the ocean for 10 days, and their final destination is Pearl Harbor, the naval base of the US Pacific Fleet.

That's right, this is the Japanese super special mixed fleet led by Irosoft Yamamoto.

In another time and space, Japan only dispatched six aircraft carriers when it attacked Pearl Harbor (there were 10 ships in total at that time), but this time, 14 ships were dispatched.

Among them, eight aircraft carriers are affiliated to the newly formed Japanese Air Force, carrying more than 700 combat aircraft. This is the first long-range raid operation since the establishment of the Japanese Air Force!

It has to be said that the Japanese government has really invested a lot in order to successfully complete this long-distance sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Because the combat aircraft of World War II are relatively light and the take-off speed requirements are not high, and the wooden boards on the take-off deck can meet the needs, it is not as tall as modern aircraft carriers. Even ordinary large cargo ships can be easily transformed into aircraft carriers equipped with combat aircraft.

Yamamoto Iroru stood quietly in front of the porthole of the Nagamon Bridge, and saw heavy rain outside the window roaring like a strong wind, and a stormy waves were stirring up on the sea, surging and howling, as if indicating the coming fierce battle.

The Nagamon battleship is the world's first battleship with a 40-centimeter main gun, with a speed of 26.5 knots and an instant speed of 49 kilometers, and a full load displacement of 42,800 tons!

Nagamon was the largest and strongest warship in the world at that time. It was a spiritual symbol of the Japanese Navy. It was deeply admired by the people and had a spiritual symbol of protecting the country. It was deeply trusted by the Japanese people and praised as "the strongest warship in the world!"

The Nagamon battleship is the flagship of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet Commander Ioroku Yamamoto. Most of the deck buildings have been demolished and runways have been laid on the deck, transforming into an aircraft carrier that can carry more than 70 combat aircraft.

Looking at the violent storm outside, Yamamoto Izuru frowned slightly. Although such weather is very conducive to hiding whereabouts, if you still get to the destination, it will affect the entire sneak attack.

Tadashi Nagamoto stood behind Izuru Yamamoto. He was directly responsible for the attack of the Navy Aviation Corps. At this time, when he saw Izuru Yamamoto frowning, he immediately knew what Izuru Yamamoto was worried about.

"Please rest assured, your storm weather comes quickly but also quickly. I believe that as long as you travel 200 nautical miles forward, you will be welcomed with good weather!"

As soon as Natsuki stepped forward, he stood beside Izuru Yamamoto and said softly:

"Although we have done our best to keep confidentiality work, the entire fleet has remained radio silent since leaving the home port, and has chosen the northern line with few people.

But such a huge special-mix fleet still has great risks to be discovered after all, but this sudden storm greatly reduces the risk of our discovery. It can be said that this sudden storm was the Tianyou Empire."

Although Japan used a fleet that was originally larger than another time and space this time, in this era without satellites, unless the dot faces passing ships and patrol ships, it is really difficult for the Americans to discover the Japanese fleet sailing routes in the vast sea!

"Yosi, I hope so!"

Yamamoto Iroku nodded slightly. No matter how worried it is, it will be unnecessary. At that time, I can only see if God gives you face!

Yamamoto Iroku walked back to the command room and looked down at the Pearl Harbor military map of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Special High School.

This map is extremely detailed and clear, and it defines all the important value targets such as oil storage, ammunition storage, supply storage, hangar, ship berths and other oil storage targets located in Pearl Harbor by the US Pacific Fleet.

After looking at it for a while, Yamamoto Iroku sighed: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs did a beautiful job and the map is too detailed. With this map, not only the air force bombing, but also the Imperial Army's beach landing and airdrop operations can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Natsuki nodded and said, "Yes, with the Ministry of Internal Affairs providing so much accurate information, this long-distance attack on Pearl Harbor, you will definitely get the most perfect result!"

?After a pause, a light flashed in Yamamoto Izuru's eyes and said, "Three hours later, when our plane arrived at the periphery of Pearl Harbor, our letter of declaration of war was submitted to the Americans. At that time, even if they wanted to be prepared, it would be too late.

As long as you seize the time, the Great Japanese Empire can defeat the United States openly, greatly hit the Americans' arrogance, and let them know that the Great Japanese Empire is an invincible and powerful opponent!"

Natsuki Nakamoto said with a curl of his mouth: "Americans have not experienced war for hundreds of years. They are too arrogant and think they are the world's number one industrial power, and no one dares to provoke them.

I'm afraid even if our letter of nationality is handed over to them, they would definitely not have thought that the powerful fleet of the Great Japanese Empire had arrived at Pearl Harbor. Most of them would have thought that the Great Japanese Empire was joking with them!"

"Haha, that's right! This time you must beat Americans to be afraid of pain!"

"Yes, tell these Americans that the Japanese Empire is invincible!"

"Who told these arrogant Americans to always want to threaten the empire, this is the price they should pay!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

?"Hahaha!"

The conversation between Iroru Yamamoto and Tadaichi Nagamoto quickly caused a chain reaction, and dozens of Japanese naval officers laughed madly.

However, the handsome man only lasted for three seconds, and at this moment a huge wave hit the side of the Nagato battleship.

The unparalleled impact force spread, causing the Nagato battleship to tilt to the right side at an amplitude visible to the naked eye.

As the hull quickly shifted and tilted, the Nagato seemed to be unable to withstand such an impact, and the entire hull steel structure began to creak.

"ah!"

"this!"

The young staff officers in the room couldn't help but feel worried and their faces became very ugly. Yamamoto Iroru and Nagamoto Tadaichi, who were standing in front of the porthole, had their faces as usual, without any panic!

"Don't be nervous, this is just a small scene!"

Seeing the young staff officers nervous, Yamamoto Iroku had no intention of blame and comforted him with a smile: "The ships of the Great Japanese Empire can withstand hurricanes and rainstorms. In the future, the Great Japanese Empire Navy will definitely be able to gallop across any sea area at will!"

"Hayi!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Navy is invincible and invincible!"
