"Well, what's in the radio?" In Pearl Harbor, a soldier on duty on shore came in with a cup of coffee. He saw his tape connected to the radio and moved. Suddenly, it was quite strange.

Press the switch and put on his headphones. He listened to the contents of the tape. Suddenly, his face changed. He couldn't care where the coffee spilled, so he quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is private George. Please connect me to the air defense command immediately. There is an emergency." He shouted to the operator on the other side of the phone.

However, for a long time, there were busy tones in the line.

These damn officers even slipped away from the duty! Private George was quite speechless. He could only run out a few steps and said to his assistant on the basketball court outside, "come on, answer the radio and I'll go to the headquarters immediately."

It's only a street from the headquarters. It only takes him a few minutes to run over.

But just a few minutes, it's too late.

In fact, just half an hour ago, an unidentified aircraft was found 132 nautical miles north of Oahu Island at a radar station in the north of Oahu Island. When the radar station reported the discovery of unidentified aircraft to the air defense command, they thought those aircraft were B-17 bombers from the mainland and ignored them!

After that, the officers on duty in the headquarters went down to have breakfast, and no one remained.

Not far away, it is the port of Pearl Harbor. In this natural harbor, a large number of warships are docked at this time.

The battleship "Arizona" is located on the northernmost side of the warship docked at the port. More than 1000 sailors on the warship are still sleeping in the battleship. Only a few sailors are moving on the deck. When the roar of aircraft appears in the distant sky, they can't help raising their heads and looking into the sky.

What kind of plane is that?

They couldn't help raising their heads and looking at the sky. They saw the planes in the sky. They were so special. Those wings were inverted seagulls!

"Don't you know?" A sailor said, "this aircraft is the latest fighter developed by our navy, F-4U pirate. The engine of this aircraft has 2000 horsepower!"

Historically, the pirate attack aircraft was developed in 38 years and put into service in 42 years. Like Stuka, they all use inverted seagull wings. Now, the development of this aircraft has been accelerated and a small number of aircraft have been put into service.

The sailor, who happened to know, now proudly introduced himself to his companion: "do you know the advantages of inverted seagull wings?"

He looked at the others and was even more happy to see that they were all looking towards him: "the pirate aircraft has a pair of large-size propellers installed on the nose. In order to prevent the propeller from scratching the carrier deck during landing, it is necessary to design a longer front landing gear, but the long landing gear will make it difficult to stow after takeoff, and the strength is not easy to guarantee, So the designer bent the wing down a certain distance to compensate for the landing gear height. "

This is definitely professional knowledge. He only learned it recently. He is very satisfied with the admiration of the people around him.

But later, a companion said, "no, why are bombs hanging under their belly?"

The plane in the sky was very fast. First they saw the most obvious inverted seagull wing, and then they saw something hanging under the belly.

"That should be the auxiliary fuel tank for the transition." The sailor continued to show off his knowledge: "I'm sure they definitely flew directly from home. It's great!"

"It's impossible. A single seat plane can't fly so far. Moreover, it's only morning. Do they want to take off in the early morning?" The companion next to him has begun to refute him.

This hurt the sailor's self-esteem. He stood up and wanted to argue with his companions. At this time, another sailor had shouted, "no, it's diving towards us!"

Dive towards us? The coquettish sailor looked at the distant sky. Indeed, the other party was diving. What did these Navy pilots want to do? Do you tease yourself like this?

In the eyes of Yoshida Fujita, he has been occupied by his own target. His target is the 30000 ton "Arizona" battleship!

As the first aircraft of the first attack echelon, he did not hesitate. Almost immediately after he found the target, he entered the attack route.

The inverted seagull wing has another advantage. It can maintain high enough strength in the violent vibration of diving!

As a trainee trained from Germany, as a pilot who successfully completed all training subjects and won ruder's praise, yoshizo Fujita's attack action is quite skilled.

Aim at the gun position of the battleship!

The armor there is the thickest. At the same time, it also means that once it hits there, the other party will not die and will definitely be semi disabled. You know, below the naval gun is the ammunition depot.

The Arizona battleship belongs to the Pennsylvania class. It was built during World War I, with a displacement of more than 30000 tons and four 356 mm turrets.

Fujita yoshizo is aiming at the No. 2 turret, the front position in the middle of the ship!

In the last test, yoshizo Fujita achieved excellent results. His bombing accuracy has been comparable to that of precision guided ammunition in later generations. Now, he is attacking in an orderly manner. In the air of about 500 meters, he presses the button.

When the terrible bomb, dragging the flame at the tail, flew to the Arizona, the sailors on the deck reacted. No, it's the enemy!

Unfortunately, it's too late!

The bomb dragging the flame accurately drilled into the weakest armor at the top of the turret and collapsed several decks to the ammunition depot at the bottom.

Then there was a huge explosion.

The whole turret was broken! 3000 tons of RDX was detonated. In the huge explosion, the whole battleship became two sections. In almost a minute, it sank into the sea, leaving only a vortex on the sea.

The sailors who had narrowly escaped from death tried their best to go upstream. At this time, the whole port had become a scene of hell.

The fighter planes with inverted seagull wings swooped down from the air, caught fire under the belly and flew to various ships. Then, a huge explosion came, and the whole port soon rose black smoke.

Sneak attack, this is a shameless sneak attack!

Countless planes rushed towards Pearl Harbor. In addition to the ships in the port, all targets on land were also attacked.

The whole Pearl Harbor was trembling.

"Tiger, tiger, tiger!" Radio waves, excitedly propagating back.
