Zhou Zhihan looked at the second wave of Japanese attack aircraft that had appeared in the distance. His eyes were full of murderous intent. It was time to kill the Japanese.
At this time, the Pearl Harbor incident has become a fact. If one more American warship is left, the despicable nation of Japan can be conquered one day earlier.
Zhou Zhihan used hand gestures to ask the six Flying Tigers members about their fuel levels and ammunition. His own is fine.
Everyone replied that there was no problem with the fuel level, everyone had at least half left, but only half of the ammunition was left.
Zhou Zhihan told everyone that if another Japanese plane attacks, everyone will still focus on harassing and disrupting the Japanese attack rhythm, try to save ammunition, only use diving to increase speed, and never fight with the enemy.
At this moment, Second Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor received a message from the ground that all Pearl Harbor air defense personnel had entered the air defense position and asked them to be careful not to be accidentally injured.
When the Japanese launched the first wave of sneak attacks, Pearl Harbor's defense personnel were already in place. However, they were suppressed by the powerful Japanese attack force and were unable to enter the position to launch a counterattack. As soon as the Japanese left, all personnel entered the position and stood ready.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhihan led everyone to evacuate to the outer perimeter of Pearl Harbor. He knew that the sky over Pearl Harbor was thick with smoke at this time. Once the battle started again, it would be easy to be accidentally injured by his own artillery fire.
He told all pilots that if the Japanese had a second wave of sneak attacks, they would only defend on the outside of Pearl Harbor and not enter the harbor no matter how critical the situation was. This would only make their own people intimidated.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhihan told everyone with gestures: "In the direction of the Japanese retreat, a Type 99 bomber was spotted circling at high altitude." Then he paused deliberately, "Everyone was ready to fight. A Japanese attack was spotted 30 kilometers away. fleet.”
When the pilots heard this, they looked around and saw nothing.
Everyone quickly picked up their binoculars, and sure enough, densely packed Japanese fighter planes appeared in the direction of the retreat of Japan's first wave of attack aircraft.
Second Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor and others are convinced!
Zhou Zhihan continued to command with gestures:
Everyone rose to high altitudes to ambush, and we used dives to catch the Japanese by surprise.
Once the battle begins, since there is no communication device between each other, everyone in the Flying Tigers can only act according to the situation and fight.
The P40, which has a communicator, continues to be commanded by Second Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor.
Everyone responded with gestures: Got it.
Then 11 fighter planes flew to hide over the Tantras Mountains.
This is their home field, and they know everything about it. Now that there are defenses in Pearl Harbor, they can go and fight the Japanese.
Zhou Zhihan pushed the throttle, and Wildcat No. 214 broke away from the aircraft group. He told the team members to pay attention to concealment. He first went to kill the commander of Japan's first wave of attacking aircraft groups...
…
Just after American radio stations continuously broadcast the attack on Pearl Harbor, embassies around the world in the United States immediately sent news to their respective countries that Pearl Harbor had been attacked by the Japanese.
At this time, Hitler, who was commanding the siege of Moscow in Berlin, was furious when he heard this, shocking everyone present.
Hitler scolded his ally Japan for being stupid.
Hitler never forgot the decisive role that American intervention played in the outcome of World War I.
He believed that Germany's goal of conquering Europe, destroying the Soviet Union, and finally controlling Britain could be achieved, but there must be one condition, and that is that the United States does not intervene.
Therefore, he tried not to give the United States an excuse to join the war. In March 1939, he issued strict orders to the Imperial Navy generals: no German submarines were allowed to attack American ships in the Atlantic.
But the Pearl Harbor incident finally gave Americans an excuse to join the war, and Hitler's world strategy fell short of success.
The impact of the attack on Pearl Harbor on the United States was as British Prime Minister Churchill's good friend Sir Edward Gray said to him 30 years ago: "The United States seems to be a huge boiler. Once a fire is lit under it Come, he will be able to produce infinite power."
When he learned that Pearl Harbor had been attacked, Churchill was so happy that he burst into tears. His first words were: "Okay, we finally won." That night, Churchill slept very soundly.
The flowers planted intentionally did not bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally made shade. The development of the matter was completely beyond Churchill's expectation. He did not expect that the Japanese helped him a lot.
In May 1940, Churchill tried his best to drag the United States into the war, but he only got a Lend-Lease Act. However, the Japanese actions made the Americans suffer. Determined to engage in a global war.
On the day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Britain declared a state of war against Japan.
French President Charles de Gaulle told his staff: "Now we must prepare to liberate France..."
China, thousands of miles away, learned that Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor. While mourning the casualties at Pearl Harbor, it finally saw light in the darkness.
At this point, China has been fighting hard against the Japanese army for four years. During this period, the Chinese nation has never surrendered!
On this day, the God of Justice finally sounded the countdown to the death knell of the Japanese.
Just as the first wave of Japanese attack aircraft left, the second wave of attack aircraft commanded by Shigewa Shimazaki had arrived 30 kilometers outside Pearl Harbor and launched an attack formation.
This time, Shige Shige and Major Shimazaki brought 171 fighter planes with them, and they were approaching fiercely.
The Japanese know that there is no chance of a surprise attack in the second wave of attacks, so their plan is as follows:
First, change the 54 "97-Type Ship Attack" torpedo planes that fly slowly and are easy to be shot down into high-altitude horizontal bombers, carrying heavy bombs and bombing at high altitudes.
Shige and Major Shimazaki personally led 54 high-altitude horizontal bombers. After arriving at Pearl Harbor, they were divided into two formations and were responsible for attacking Qasim Airport, Kaneohe and Ford Airport.
Second, Major Takashimage Egusa led 81 dive bombers. They had no specific target and focused on large ships that were not destroyed in the first wave of attacks.
After arriving at Pearl Harbor, the 81 dive bombers were divided into four groups, bypassed the Tantras Mountains to the east, and concentrated bombing on the ships again.
Third, Captain Shindo led 36 Zero fighters, divided into four squads, to protect the bombers while continuing to maintain air superiority over Oahu.
The fleet led by Shige and Major Shimazaki took off 50 minutes later than the first batch of attack aircraft led by Lieutenant Colonel Mitsuo Fuchida. After takeoff, all the fighter planes remained silent until they were still dozens of kilometers away from Pearl Harbor when they kept encountering the first batch of aircraft returning one after another. A group of attack planes saw the joy of victory on everyone's faces, and they knew that the empire's plan to attack Pearl Harbor was successful.
Mizuo Fuchida has never left. As the commander-in-chief of this sneak attack group, he must wait for the second wave of attacks to end, count the results, and send a report to Yamamoto Isoroku who is waiting on the [Nagato].
