Beiyang reactionaries

Of course, this is not a reason for Husband Kimmel to feel relieved.

Husband Kimmel was more at ease, thinking that the reason why Japan would not go to war with the United States was mainly because the intelligence of the United States showed that Japan was going to fight in Australia.There are more and more Japanese troops in New Guinea, including the transfer of a large number of warships of the Japanese Navy to New Guinea, and a large number of transport ships have also come to New Guinea.U.S. intelligence agencies judged that while Japan was attacking the British and Indian troops in Burma, it was also preparing to deal with Australia, an important country in the Commonwealth of Nations.

Not only is the US intelligence agency analyzing this way, but the British intelligence agency is also doing the same analysis.Everyone believes that the Japanese army's next plan is the Burma campaign and the Australian campaign, in order to completely eliminate Britain.

As a result, Australia mobilized more than 30 troops, and 10 troops were deployed in the New Guinea islands that Japan has not yet controlled.Prepare to stop the Japanese attack.

After all, Japan is a small country.

From the perspective of the United States, it is impossible for him to wage war on the United States while conducting the Burma campaign and the Australian campaign.A large number of battleships and heavy cruisers of the Japanese Navy were deployed in New Guinea, which was the biggest signal to attack Australia.It was precisely because Japan carried out these strategic deceptions before attacking Pearl Harbor that Husband Kimmel slowly relaxed his vigilance.

Japan did deploy a lot of battleships and heavy cruisers in New Guinea, but the main offensive force of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor this time was the aircraft carrier.However, in the current naval battle, battleships and heavy cruisers still occupy the main force.Therefore, the judgment of the US intelligence agency is the same as that of the British intelligence agency, and they all believe that Japan's next target is Australia.

So the Air Defense Command didn't care about the unidentified aircraft spotted by the radar station, and neither did Husband Kimmel.

After sending people away, eat slowly.After eating, Husband Kimmel dressed for a new day at headquarters.

"Woooooo-"

"Boom boom-"

"Da da da--"

Before Husband Kimmel got dressed, he first heard the sound of a large number of planes flying, and then heard a violent explosion.After all, Husband Kimmel was a general who had been in the barracks for decades. After hearing this sound, he immediately knew it was the sound of a bomb.

In an instant, Husband Kimmel was running to the window.

After coming to the window, he immediately saw the port start to explode.The location of Husband Kimmel's official residence is very good, you can directly see the location of the port, and you can see a large number of warships parked there.He saw bombs floating down from the sky.

Air strikes, this is air strikes.

Husband Kimmel knew instantly that this was an air strike.He immediately thought of the report from the radar station more than 20 minutes ago, and found a batch of unidentified aircraft.This is for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

This judgment stunned Husband Kimmel for a moment.

"General, general. Air strikes, Japanese planes."

Before Husband Kimmel could react, Husband Kimmel's adjutant crawled up to Husband Kimmel and said tremblingly: "Yes! Nearly 200 planes, 200 planes. General, Japan has attacked us."

"Japan, Japan, how dare they, how dare they?"

Husband Kimmel is completely dumbfounded.

how come?How can this happen?

Isn't Japan preparing for the Burma campaign?Isn't it necessary to gather a large number of troops for the Australian campaign?Why did Japan come to Pearl Harbor?Husband Kimmel was a veteran of World War I, not a newbie.

But looking at the fleet of Wuyang Wuyang in the sky and the bombs dropped from the sky, his whole body was stiff.Seeing the Japanese planes bombarding the warships in the port unscrupulously, watching the Japanese planes' machine guns shooting non-stop, I didn't know what to do.

The line of sight was so good that it turned out to be able to see those warships being hit by the bombers' bombs.I saw the machine guns of the Japanese planes shooting at the army troops.Those soldiers who were completely unprepared lost their lives in this way.

"Why don't you kill me, why don't you kill me..."

Seeing the blood and flesh flying everywhere, Husband Kimmel lost his mind and could only mutter to himself like this.The adjutant who came to report the letter was also dumbfounded, and watched the unscrupulous Japanese bombing beside Husband Kimmel in a daze.

Neither of them spoke, they could only listen to the sound of the explosion in the port.

Just stood there quietly.Ten minutes later, Husband Kimmel's adjutant was the first to react, and said to Husband Kimmel: "General, general, what should we do now? We should organize troops to counterattack."

But Husband Kimmel acted as if he hadn't heard this sentence, still looked out of the window in a daze, and kept crying.The adjutant was very anxious to see Husband Kimmel like this.

Because Husband Kimmel is the supreme commander of the US military at Pearl Harbor, he should now cheer up and organize troops to fight back.Although it was attacked by the Japanese army, the strength of the US military in Pearl Harbor is still very strong.Has a lot of air defense means.

But now that Husband Kimmel is acting like this, how does the U.S. military organize itself.Pearl Harbor has the Army, Navy, and Army Air Force. If Husband Kimmel, the top executive, is not involved, how can they integrate them to fight back together.

Chaos, complete chaos.

The U.S. military was not prepared at all, and after being attacked, Husband Kimmel, as the supreme officer, did not take responsibility and immediately organized troops to counterattack.As a result, under the sneak attack of the Japanese army, the entire army was in a panic.

"Tiger, tiger, tiger."

1940年12月11日，凌晨8点14分的时候，第一波参与进攻的飞行员传来了偷袭成功的消息。

"General, it worked."

Chief of Staff Kusa Shika Ryunosuke looked delighted.

Only a few of them know how much the navy has paid for today.Yamamoto 56 is a lunatic. For today's attack, he trained as usual in the early morning when the sight was not good, and when it was windy and rainy.

How many experienced pilots died in vain because of this kind of training.How many generals below oppose such training, and there are many people who impeach Yamamoto 56.It's just that Hideki Tojo has always trusted Yamamoto 56.

Of course, as a result of this kind of training, the Japanese army really trained a group of powerful pilots.These pilots can participate in the attack under a lot of adverse weather, and the bombing accuracy is very high.During the attack on Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto 56 pulled out half of the Japanese Navy's warships.

Divide into two fleets and attack Pearl Harbor.

山本56作为总指挥，南云忠一作为第一航空舰队的司令员。南云忠一负责主要进攻，南云忠一的第一航空舰队率领6艘航空母舰、2艘护航航空母舰、3艘战列舰、3艘重巡洋舰、9艘驱逐舰和3艘潜艇。

In addition to Nagumo Zhongichi, Yamamoto 56 personally led the Second Air Fleet in the North Pacific as an auxiliary.

第二航空舰队规模小于第一航空舰队，但也拥有3艘航空母舰、3艘护航航空母舰、1艘战列舰、4艘重巡洋舰、5艘驱逐舰和4艘潜艇。

Japan has cooperated with China in recent years, allowing China to produce destroyers, escort destroyers, transport ships, and even light cruisers for their navy. In the past few months, China has even asked China to produce escort aircraft carriers.Japan's shipyards specialize in the production of important naval warships such as aircraft carriers, battleships, heavy cruisers, and submarines.

The navy is far stronger than it has been in history.

In this attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan used 9 aircraft carriers, 5 escort aircraft carriers, 4 battleships, 7 heavy cruisers, 14 destroyers, and 7 submarines.And in order to support this attack, 14 tankers were brought behind, accompanied by 7 escort destroyers.Of course, these ships behind are not for attack, but for supply.

Yamamoto56's idea is simple.

The First Air Fleet and the Second Air Fleet cross-attacked, and the First Air Fleet carried out the first wave of attacks.An hour later, the second wave of attack by the Second Air Fleet.After the news of the first wave of attack, the First Air Fleet will carry out the third wave of attack.

Such a cross attack completely destroyed the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

"Issuing the order to attack."

Before the first wave of attacking planes come back, the attacking planes here will attack.

Because it will take time to wait for the first wave of planes to return and let them return to their positions.But this attack on Pearl Harbor was a sneak attack, and the U.S. military could not be given much time to react.Pearl Harbor is a US military base with a very complete air defense force.It is correct to bombard them without giving them any reaction time.

So the order to attack was issued immediately.

"Send a telegram to General Yamamoto."

"Yes."
