Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

“I’ll finish writing about Pearl Harbor today and quickly go back to Suiyuan to work on my northern industry. I can’t show my face in women’s clothing!”

Time goes back forty-five minutes to Pearl Harbor Ford Island Airport.

 In Yamamoto's original raid plan of 7x8, the six aircraft carriers in the entire fleet had completely different divisions of labor.

 Among them, Akagi, Kaga and two Soryu-class ships are responsible for attacking all large surface warships in the naval port. Xianghe and Zuikaku, on the other hand, need to use all their strength to destroy several military airports on the island.

  After all, in addition to aircraft carrier-based aircraft, there are also a large number of land-based fighter jets on Oahu.

If the more than 400 P40 Tomahawks are allowed to take off smoothly, it will inevitably bring a devastating blow to this operation.

When the troops carrying special torpedoes and armor-piercing aerial bombs were about to enter the combat position, the attack formation composed of Zero fighter jets and 53 99 ship-to-ship bombers had quietly arrived at the target airspace.

“Yo Xi, the plan works! Everything is within Major General Yamaguchi’s expectation!”

“All crews are free to hunt and kill, and never let go of any American fighter jets to nip the danger in its infancy! If conditions permit, don’t forget to deal with the enemy’s ammunition depot and runway.”

 “The action begins!”

Receiving the order from Major Kazuichi Takahashi, his flight captain, a group of Japanese HNA pilots quickly formed a three-plane formation and swooped in three directions towards Ford Island Airport, Hickam Airport and Wheeler Airport.

As the carrier-based aircraft gradually lowered their altitude, the residents and soldiers on the island saw the eye-catching red logo.

 The unexpected enemy plane made everyone panic.

Of course, some officers remained calm and mistakenly thought it was their own aircraft showing off their skills at low altitude.

"Did you see the serial number of the plane just now? It caused a safety hazard. I will have a good talk with that person's commander later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the fighter plane that Rear Admiral Chou was talking about dropping a 250 kilogram high-explosive aerial bomb in the direction of the military hospital.

At almost the same time, piercing air raid sirens sounded over Oahu.

At this scene, the major general and the staff officer beside him couldn't help but look at each other. They all saw fear and confusion in each other's expressions.

 After a moment, the two men immediately ran towards the command center not far away. After entering, they went straight to the special communications room where important information was sent and received.

“Alert to all commands! Pearl Harbor is under attack! This is not a drill! I repeat! This is not a drill!”

 What a pity, everything is already too late.

Facing the long-planned raid by the Japanese, the Ugly people who were still on vacation could not escape their doomed fate.

  ·······

“Hurry! Everyone, get out of the dormitory quickly! Enemy planes are coming!”

 “Zero war! Bombers! They have to blow up the hangar! Bring weapons and stick to your posts!”

"Go and get the machine gun bullets! Go and get the .50! The ground team moves quickly! Let the boys seize the time to get into the air and fight!"

Facts have proved that although the Ugly Kingdom is not directly involved in the world war at this stage, the quality of their pilots is really very good.

 Under the command of dozens of school-level officers, three military airports began to respond a few minutes after the air strike began. Even the most basic soldiers did not lose their courage and fought back against the enemy from commanding heights with rifles and submachine guns.

However, there are still only a few P40s that can take off.

At this moment, most of these once extremely precious arms, whether they were veterans who participated in the Battle of Britain or new recruits who had just arrived to be stationed on Oahu, died on the way to the hangar and apron.

 The neatly arranged fighter jets were instantly swallowed up by fire snakes and aerial bombs. In just a few minutes, hundreds of P40 Tomahawks were destroyed, and they didn't even have a chance to fight Zero War.

 The hangar and runway were reduced to ruins, and despair gradually filled everyone's hearts.

Just when the entire Ford Airport was about to be destroyed, a group of troops that neither the enemy nor we expected entered the battlefield!

 “Reinforcements! We have reinforcements!”

 “Well done! Kill those Japanese!”

“Quick! Hurry up! The carrier-based aircraft and bomber formations can’t hold on for long! The opportunity that our brotherly forces gave us cannot be wasted.”

That's right, this support force is the B17 strategic bomber formation flying from the U.S. mainland to Oahu, as well as several F4F Wildcats taking off from the Enterprise.

 Forget about the carrier-based fighter jets, but the intrusion of those flying fortresses immediately stunned the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

 There is no way, who is a good person who would use a four-engine bomber to fight a fighter jet at low altitude? The impoverished militarists simply cannot understand this kind of behavior of local tyrants.

Even if your plane is equipped with 13 12.7mm machine guns, you can't bully others like this!

In fact, the top commander of the bomber formation is in trouble now. Their twelve fighter planes have traveled a long way from the U.S. mainland, and their fuel reserves have long been depleted.

The little inventory in the fuel tank now is impossible to transfer to other military bases.

In battle, the firepower of the entire formation can also be used to improve the enemy's turnover. If they are lucky, they can even form a battle formation with P40 and F4F to ride on the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.

 Strategic bombers bomb surface fleets, a proper professional counterpart.

Although there is a high probability that you will suffer heavy losses, at least you can control your own destiny. No fight?

 Then you can only climb higher and wait to die.

 Given such a simple choice between the two, anyone would choose the former.

“Danny! It’s time for us to start the air show! I need you. I need a reliable wingman!”

 “Okay! Got it! Let’s go!“

 When life or death is at stake, the most important thing is courage.

 Between being a target and fighting to the death, the vast majority of U.S. pilots chose to fight to the death.

It is a pity that due to poor coordination and hasty response, the 25 fighter planes of various types that finally took off from three military airports could not escape the fate of being shot down.

Even the F4F on the Enterprise was brutally murdered under the siege of Zero War.

 Fortunately, Best flew a dive bomber, otherwise there would have been one less big drama in the future.

Not to mention the B17, it will only be a matter of time before it is eaten by the entire formation.

What’s even more frustrating is that it’s okay to be outnumbered. After all, the enemy is an elite pilot who is well-trained. However, several P40s were actually destroyed by their own ground-based anti-aircraft guns.

I can only say that the personal heroism in the original timeline is difficult to replicate in Pearl Harbor today.

  ·······

 Half an hour later, at 8:45 Hawaii time, the Japanese assault fleet Hiryu aircraft carrier was launched.

“Rear Admiral Yamaguchi! Our operation has been a great success! The first wave of attack formations has sunk two aircraft carriers, four battleships and several cruiser destroyers.”

“As long as this happens again, the U.S. Pacific Fleet will definitely be gone.”

Hearing this, a fierce light flashed in Yamaguchi Duowen's eyes.

 After a moment, he moved to the front of the tactical board and crossed out the names of the above-mentioned ships one by one.

 In this operation, their fleet not only eliminated the ugly aircraft carrier that they thought about day and night, but also destroyed multiple capital ships at once. It can definitely be regarded as a great success.

As a loyal supporter of Yamamoto’s seven-by-eight method, Yamaguchi Tawen was naturally extremely happy.

However, the above-mentioned good mood did not last long, because the old devil discovered a very serious problem, that is, the ammunition carried this time was somewhat insufficient.

This ammunition refers to armor-piercing aerial bombs modified from Nagato-class main gun shells.

 There is no other way. Rich countries will develop torpedoes and aerial bombs at the same time. As a poor guy, I can't develop two technology trees at the same time. The current aerial bomb technology can definitely be ranked at the bottom among the countries participating in the war.

Why is the hit rate of horizontal bombing too low? Even if you are attacking a large moving battleship in actual combat, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to hit even one if you throw a hundred bombs.

On the other hand, torpedoes are released at close range and can severely damage the target once they hit. This is in line with the principle of preferring one cannon with 100 hits to 100 hits with 100 hits.

 This kind of cost-effective gadget is suitable for IJN.

 Similar weapons include Zero War and Yamato. The former pursues the high performance of fighter aircraft and attempts to use high indicators to offset the numerical disadvantage. The latter is even more powerful and is the ultimate product of this point of view.

 One ship is worth ten ships, and the only thing to play is to enter the soul with one shot.

 But here’s the problem, heavy bombs must be used to blow up surface ships.

 At present, the remaining 800KG bombs in the entire fleet are seriously insufficient, with only 23 rounds. If they were used to bomb the surviving Enterprise and battleships, the oil depots and naval dockyards would not be able to deal with them.

 If the Pacific Fleet is allowed to retain a large amount of fuel and repair equipment, the benefits of the assault fleet's trip will inevitably be greatly reduced.

 After a while, the old devil took a deep breath and made the final choice in his heart.

“Don’t use 800kg aerial bombs yet. Except for the first formation, replace all the 97th ship attack and 99th ship explosion with 250kg bombs to hit the remaining warships in Pearl Harbor.”

“Especially the USS Enterprise! We must focus our attacks! We cannot let the Ugly people save any aircraft carrier!”

“Remember to ask the samurai to search the location of the oil depot and plan the third wave of attacks in advance. By the way, don’t forget to inform Lieutenant General Nagumo and tell him my arrangements intact.”

 In fact, Yamaguchi's idea is very simple. After all, except for Pennsylvania, Nevada and enterprises, the other goals are not of concern.

 Pennsylvania is in the dock and can directly use 800kg aerial bombs to kill two birds with one stone. There are no ships blocking Nevada due south, so all the remaining torpedoes can be used on her.

  To deal with an old aircraft carrier like the Enterprise, 250 kilograms of aircraft bombs are definitely enough, and a pile of them can kill her.

 As for whether reloading will delay time? Will Nagumo become a bomb-changing immortal first?

Who cares, Pearl Harbor is now isolated, without any country or force to support it, and their assault fleet can stay even for a day.

 Half an hour later, the second wave of attack formations officially took off.

This time, Yamaguchi Tawen dispatched 54 Nine-Seven Ship Attacks, 81 Nine-Nine Ship Explosions and 36 Zero Fighters. (End of chapter)
