Chapter 727
As a senior Japanese ace pilot and flight captain, Toru Nishida was naturally regarded as a sharp knife and placed in the first attack formation as the formation commander.
At 7:05, Japan's first attack formation arrived over the north shore of Oahu.
At this time, the attack formation began to divide into two groups, and the attack aircraft fleet circled the coastline and headed towards the US military airport in the center of Oahu.
The other route directly enters the island to fly in a straight line at low altitude, and this route includes a fleet of torpedo bombers, high-altitude bombers and dive bombers. According to the plan, it will be divided into three further routes to carry out devastating bombing of Pearl Harbor fleets and ground military facilities in the central northern coast of Oahu.
Tsuki Nishida led a team of dive bombers to cut directly into Oahu Island, almost flying close to the ground.
"Yoxi, it's so quiet, the Americans didn't react at all!"
"Yes, not only did the ground air defense forces not shoot a shot, but even a US plane did not see it!"
Although the sneak attack did a lot of confidentiality, the intelligence reality is that Americans have several radar stations on the Hawaiian Islands, including one in the north of Oahu.
Therefore, Tsushi Nishida and other Japanese pilots were full of thought that after flying over Oahu, they would definitely be intercepted by US aircraft and attacked by ground artillery, but the US military did not respond from beginning to end.
The long-distance raided nearly 200 nautical miles, but the entire flight was like entering a no-man!
Buzzing, Japanese planes passed by from a low altitude, and Tsuku Nishida could clearly see many indigenous people working in the farmland below, and even the warships anchored on Pearl Harbor in the distance.
But there was still no interception or blockade, and it seemed that the Pacific Fleet naval base opened its arms to welcome their arrival.
Although the natives who cultivated crops in the plains of the northern Oahu clearly heard the rumbling sound of motors above their heads, everyone was accustomed to working hard and subconsciously believed that the US Air Force was conducting exercises and flights again.
"Yoxi, it's indeed the Empire of Heavenly Blessing! Americans are so stupid that they still have no response at this time!"
After passing through a mountain range, the pearls in front were all within reach. Nishida Toru's adrenaline began to soar rapidly, and he picked up the microphone and shouted loudly: "For the future of the empire, attack!"
"Hayi!"
"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"
The Japanese pilots following the left and right were all roaring wildly as if they were injected with chicken blood, pulling the joystick and pressing the nose of the plane, whistling towards the American warship in Pearl Harbor at the foot of the mountain.
Since today is Christmas, most naval sailors have a holiday, while sailors on the warships come to the deck at seven o'clock to organize morning exercises and music and flag-raising activities.
At this moment, a harsh air defense alarm suddenly sounded at the naval base. At the beginning, no matter whether it was a sailor or a organized morning exercise, the naval officers raising the flag did not care.
Because in recent times, the Air Defense Command has conducted such air defense exercises from time to time, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Even when they saw the fleet flying in the distance, they still thought they were doing exercises again. There were even many naval officers cursing these two-person guys who violated the flight system and cursing and complaining about these air force cubs!
But not long after, an anxious and panicked voice sounded on the radio: "Pearl Harbor was subjected to air strikes, this is not an exercise! Repeat, Pearl Harbor was subjected to air strikes, this is not an exercise! Pearl Harbor was subjected to air strikes, this is not an exercise!"
"What? Isn't this an exercise?"
"What does this mean?"
"Ah, no, it's the Japanese plane coming!"
"Oh, no! God!"
The American sailors all showed shocked expressions, and their eyes were staring at the group of Japanese aircraft flying closer and closer. After a moment, everyone reacted.
The flag bearer threw down the military flag, the drum trumpeter threw away the musical instruments, and the sailors doing morning exercises stepped apart and ran hard, quickly rushing towards the machine gun and cannon positions, entering the combat state as quickly as possible.
As soon as the machine gunner Ronald ran to the rotating gangway, a deafening loud roar sounded above his head.
Ronald quickly looked up and saw a dark group of machines pounced on the northwest direction.
After a closer look, I was shocked to find that the belly and plaster patterns of these aircraft were clearly visible. What is this if it was not a Japanese aircraft?
"I bought Ka! Farke oil!"
Ronald's face instantly turned gray. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs running. Such a huge bomber fleet suddenly attacked the unprepared Pacific Fleet. Even if he used his feet, he could tell what the consequences would be.
"It's over, the Pacific Fleet is over now!"
Ronald only felt that most of his strength had dissipated in an instant. Faced with such a huge group of bombers, sporadic counterattacks would have no effect at all.
However, Ronald was a veteran sailor after all, and did not completely lose his will to fight. He quickly ran to the machine gun position with his instinctive reaction, and then got in one go.
Ronald shook his handle and turned the base northwest to face, and at the same time increased the firing angle of the anti-aircraft machine gun by nearly thirty degrees, obliquely locking the group of Japanese bombers that were swooping down rapidly in the northwest.
"Americans, you're completely finished this time!"
After crossing the mountains, Tsuki Nishida pulled the joystick slightly, and the Type 96 dive bomber immediately turned slightly.
Through the cab porthole, Tsushi Nishida could clearly see the US warships anchored in the military port, especially the eight battleships that looked like steel monsters, which made him particularly ecstatic.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!…"
Without any hesitation, Tsushi Nishida pushed the joystick forward to the bottom, and with a whoosh, the Type 96 dive bomber plunged down, revealing a hideous roar towards a battleship.
As the dive speed became faster and faster, the metal fuselage of the Type 96 dive bomber crunched, as if it would disintegrate and explode at any time.
In a short while, Tsushi Nishida drove the Type 96 bomber to the lowest point, almost close to the sea, and rushed towards the US battleship.
"American, go to death!"
After diving to about 50 meters above sea level, Tsushi Nishida pressed the bomb drop button without hesitation, and then a 500-pound aviation bomb hung on the belly of the dive bomber, broke away from the belly of the aircraft and fell rapidly with a scream.
Just over a second later, the 500-pound aviation bomb that fell off the Type 96 dive bomber landed on the battleship deck below with extremely accurate accuracy.
Then a loud bang exploded, and a ball of fire mixed with black smoke rose into the sky, and the battleship was blown up with a big hole.
The extremely powerful explosion power made the huge steel body tremble.
