Chapter 936 Burn, Pearl Harbor

On Sunday morning, the breeze from the harbor fluttered the American flag in the harbor, and the sailors were cleaning the ships docked at the pier as usual.

When the Japanese planes roared out of the clouds, the sailors were not shocked. Everyone thought it was just an ordinary exercise, and some even waved their navy caps at the planes.

However, the next moment, the bombs carried by the bombers roared down from the clouds, followed closely by torpedo planes, dropping dozens of torpedoes at the battleships docked in the port.

What followed was the sound of machine guns from the Zero fighters. In just a few minutes, the sea surface was dyed red, and the rising flames rapidly raised the sea surface temperature.

The terrified voice of the navy came from the loudspeaker in the port. We were attacked by the Japanese. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill...

The first wave of Japanese attack troops evacuated Pearl Harbor thirty minutes later, followed closely by the second wave of attack troops.

There were more planes this time, more than 370 in total.

All the planes were fully stocked with fuel and bombed all the way from Pearl Harbor.

Their target this time was not just the dozens of planes stationed in Pearl Harbor, but the oil depot fifteen miles away from Pearl Harbor.

This oil depot stores nearly three to four million tons of oil and is the largest supply oil depot of the Pacific Fleet.

Unlike the previous life due to insufficient resources, this time Japan has sufficient resources and naturally made a more detailed combat plan.

The only drawback was that, not sure if it was God’s will or human error, the Japanese still failed to find the three aircraft carriers this time.

However, the consequences of this attack on Pearl Harbor were much more serious than before.

The dock was destroyed, and six of the eight battleships docked in Pearl Harbor were destroyed and two were severely damaged.

In addition, two cruisers, five auxiliary ships and four destroyers docked in the port for maintenance were all destroyed.

In addition to the three missing aircraft carriers, the Pacific Fleet was almost destroyed.

What made Americans even more angry was that the oil depot in Pearl Harbor was hit accurately by bombers, and more than three million tons of oil in the depot burned for more than ten days.

Thick black smoke almost covered the entire Pearl Harbor.

After the Pearl Harbor incident, Mr. Lacey and Mr. Nomura, the Japanese ministers to the United States, submitted a declaration of war to Mr. Hull of the White House on behalf of the Japanese Empire.

But it is worth mentioning that, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, the time for submitting the declaration of war was two hours late this time.

It was only after the planes bombed Pearl Harbor that Nomura and Lacey placed the declaration of war on Hull's desk.

Therefore, even though such a huge result was achieved, this military operation was still described by the Americans as a sinister and cunning sneak attack.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the White House held an emergency meeting and unanimously passed the US declaration of war on Japan.

Sharp sirens echoed across the United States, and all troops were urgently summoned.

For several consecutive days, at the call of His Excellency the President, the United States entered a state of war preparation.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

Unlike before, Vice Admiral Nagumo did not return immediately after bombing Pearl Harbor. This time, they brought enough oil, supplies and aircraft.

In the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army lost only 19 aircraft, and there were still more than 550 aircraft in the fleet at that time.

So, on the tenth day after the two sides officially declared war, the aircraft carrier fleet that was supposed to appear in the Pacific Ocean strangely appeared on the west coast of the United States.

Moreover, before the Americans had time to react, more than 500 planes were divided into two directions, bombing Seattle, the capital of Washington State, and destroying Boeing's aircraft manufacturing plant.

Another wave bombed all the way along San Francisco, destroying almost all the factories, shipbuilding plants and military bases.

The US government instantly went from anger to panic.

They couldn't understand why, after the raid on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese did not rush back home, but instead appeared on the west coast.

Before the Americans could organize an effective counterattack, Vice Admiral Nagumo disappeared again with his aircraft carrier group.

Two days later, the White House received numerous telegrams asking for help.

The Japanese fleet bombed Chicago, Detroit, and the San Diego naval bases in succession, and then raided the Great Lakes industrial area...

Do you think this is the end of it? No, it is not.

Just as the U.S. mainland was being ravaged by Japanese planes, the Akagi aircraft carrier attack fleet, led by the battleship Nagato, suddenly appeared in the Panama Canal.

The Nagato has the greatest firepower, with a ship gun with a caliber of 410MM.

The torpedo carrier-based aircraft of the Akagi performed an amazing record under the command of Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa.

Half of the cargo ships in the Panama Canal were severely damaged or sunk by torpedoes.

When all the information was summarized and transmitted to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Chen Yang was stunned when he looked at the report.

He only got 4 million tons of oil, but how could the attack on Pearl Harbor turn things into this?

Today, the attack on Pearl Harbor can no longer describe the Japanese Navy's performance this time.

Even the battle reports sent back by the navy were described using different words.

The Imperial Navy raided the American mainland and won a great victory...

Of course, even with such great achievements, the Army Department still looked down on the Navy.

People from the Army Ministry accused the naval commander of his poor combat skills in front of Navy Minister Shinshiro Toyoda.

Because they bombed all industrial facilities, they should have been more ruthless since they had already declared war.

Bomb the Grumman aircraft manufacturing plant in New York and destroy several oil fields in Texas.

Only in this way can the US industrial system be severely damaged.

But now, they still have planes, oil, and three aircraft carriers hiding somewhere unknown, and they still have the ability to continue fighting.

Besides, since the war has already started, they should kill them all. Bombing Seattle is nothing. They should just capture Washington...

I have to say that there are too many crazy people in the Japanese army.

Only these lunatics in the War Department could imagine such an outrageous idea as capturing Washington.

But no matter what, the Navy has accomplished all its goals and is on the way back.

At this time, the army also decided to take action.

On December 18, 1941, the Japanese army launched the first wave of attacks on Southeast Asian countries.

The first target is Hong Kong Island...

I will be discharged from the hospital and go home tomorrow, so tomorrow's update may be in the afternoon or evening. I will be able to stabilize after I go home. Thank you all for your support.

As usual, please comment, urge for more updates, and send love...
