The annual temperature in the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is maintained at 14 to 32 degrees Celsius, and there is no severe cold or excessive heat. There are deep blue oceans and vast seashore beaches, where flowers bloom all the year round, and there is no doubt that it is an excellent place for leisure and vacation.

Oahu is not the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, but it has excellent conditions in all aspects, which makes it the best island in this archipelago. There are prosperous fire slave Lu Lu (Honolulu), world-famous Wakiki beach and the best natural port in the world. Pearl Harbor became a star-spangled banner as early as the end of the 19th century, and now the pearl is still embedded in the emperor’s crown.
After the capture of the Hawaiian Islands without firing a shot, the Japanese navy won a treasure, especially Pearl Harbor, which has been operated and repaired by the US military for many years, has become a first-class large-scale military port, so the Japanese navy moved the Second Fleet, the so-called Pacific Dispatch Fleet Command, from Tachi to here and made it the first home port of the fleet.
When the German-Japanese War broke out, seven battleships, four war cruisers, two aircraft carriers and a large number of light ships were moored in Pearl Harbor. However, by February 1929, only the battleships Yi Shi, Sunward, Satsuma, Shejin, and the war patrol "Ai Dang Xiao" aircraft carrier "Fengxiang" were left here, and nearly one third of them were transferred back thousands of miles.
For the Japanese troops stationed in the Hawaiian Islands, it is not the end of the world, nor does it mean that they will easily hand over this strategically important island to the enemy. In addition to the Pearl Harbor Fleet, the Japanese troops stationed in Hawaii also include a 6 th Army Air Force, a naval shore-based flight brigade, two standard 6 divisions, namely the 19th and 22nd divisions, which are affiliated to the Navy, a 6 th Battalion and a fortress garrison. The total strength of these artillery bases is more than 70,000 people, and there are more than 32o fighter planes and 133 large-caliber fortress guns.
As for the commander, the garrison commander of the Japanese Pearl Harbor is the commander of the Bumu Manchu Fleet in vice admiral, and the garrison of the 6 th Army of vice admiral to Jingmi. The 6 th Army will take Tuqiao as three lieutenant generals at a time, and their posts are in a state of mutual jurisdiction
On February 11th, 1929, more than 500 nautical miles east of Pearl Harbor, a huge fleet of warships was hurtling in the direction of the Hawaiian Islands in a three-column formation, and the battle cruiser sailors were eager to try their best to take off and land on the fleet carrier from time to time. The whole fleet showed a busy scene.
Fondahl Vic vice admiral, the 59-year-old commander of the German Pacific 4th Fleet, was deeply responsible from the moment he was ordered to go to war. Although the German navy has four fleets in the Pacific, this 4th Fleet is undoubtedly the most powerful one ―― battleships Julius Caesar, Sitter Albray, Geerds, Wuerttemberg, Wuerttemberg, battle cruiser, Earl Spee and Earl Spee. Prussia, Lorraine, Joachim, Sekendorf, Erpitz, escort carriers Knobbersdorf, Ludwig, Herman and Moellendorff, plus 7 heavy cruisers and combat cruisers, 12 light cruisers, 46 destroyers, and 12 light cruisers.
The Kaiser and the German Navy trusted such a powerful fleet to Fondahl Vic, an unknown commander. It was not a sudden decision to decide another world. In the two world wars, the German Navy was far less famous than the six armies due to strategic reasons, and there were only a few people such as Erpitz, Scheer, hippel, Spee, Lei Deer and Deng Nici. However, this cannot deny the quality of German naval officers. Fondahl Vic was born in a Prussian aristocratic family and joined the German Navy at the age of 17, and relied on his talents and efforts.
He was very old at that time, which was already a great achievement in another world. He had the honor to command the 4th Battleship Unit of the German high seas fleet to participate in the vigorous Jutland naval battle, but the end of the naval battle was to let Schell and hippel be known to the world. Since then, Darwich has been silently waiting for the end of the war with the German high seas fleet.
In this world, history has taken a completely different path from Pascal Flo’s war in 1914, the blockade war against the British Isles, the great naval battle against Venice Bay of Austria-Hungary and the great naval battle against the Caribbean of the United States. Although this victory is recognized as the victory of the German leadership, it is also very important for middle and high-ranking naval commanders like Fondahl Vic. After Schell and Heinrich successively launched the fleet command layer for age and physical reasons, William Zuxiong, Dick and Fondahl Vic, who have been fighting all the year round, finally took on the real responsibility.
"General reconnaissance plane report in front of the fleet 15o nautical miles now a light cruiser!
General Schmitt asked if it was necessary to send a ship bomber to sink it! "The communication officer dressed in a Prussian blue navy and wearing a white hat reported the latest information to Lieutenant General Fondahl Vic who was engrossed in nautical charts. When the German navy sailed in summer and tropical areas, the military caps of officers and sergeants were all in this white style. In cold regions, they were blue military caps and extra military coats.
"light cruiser?" Darwich straightened up and looked at the communication officer’s encounter with a Japanese warship in this sea area. It was not unexpected. According to the reconnaissance report of the intelligence department, the Japanese troops stationed in Hawaii usually deployed the first cordon at a distance of 400 to 500 nautical miles from the islands, with destroyers, submarines and seaplanes as the vigilance. The second cordon was at a distance of 2500 to 300 nautical miles, and the third cordon was usually deployed at a distance of 1500 nautical miles from the islands ..
"Tell general Schmitt that his plane needs to continue to monitor the light cruiser! In addition, the first destroyer team was ordered to go out to 40 nautical miles in front of the fleet to deploy the submarine hunting formation and alert the radar! Not surprisingly, Japanese submarines and planes will visit us soon! " Lieutenant General Darwich said with confidence
Shortly after the order arrived, 11 destroyers were removed from the main fleet. These destroyers were all equipped with the new Nair and Hawkeye iie radar medal class. From 1914 to 1924, German destroyers completed the transition from torpedo attack to anti-submarine defense. By 1929, more than 200 destroyers in the German navy had a displacement of 100 tons, which is rare in navies of various countries, especially the destroyers were still regarded as lightning ships, and the Japanese navy’s main destroyer was Kamikaze class. The displacement of Muyue class and Snow Blowing class at the peak wind level is only 100 tons, and the flying height is high and a large number of fish laser tubes are equipped. Among them, Muyue class and Snow Blowing class are equipped with powerful 24-inch (61omm) torpedoes. According to the opinion of Japanese naval generals, these destroyers can easily injure and sink enemy medium-sized and even large ships in melee and night battles. A successful destroyer lightning strike can make the enemy fleet lose a considerable number of fighters, which is a favorable condition for the main force to carry out a decisive battle.
Compared with German naval generals, they regard their destroyers as escort ships to defend against enemy planes and submarine torpedo boats. They are equipped with 12o or 152mm naval guns, four fish laser tubes, and as many anti-submarine weapons as possible. In recent years, they have been built and technically modified, and radar equipment has been installed on the destroyer surface. Although they are all destroyers, a German destroyer and a Japanese destroyer are placed together, but people can see two weapons of completely different times.
An hour later, the German spy lurking in Oahu reported that the frequency of fighter jets taking off and landing at the ground army airport around the port where the Pearl Harbor Day fleet raised fire and anchored also increased significantly.
After receiving this report, Fondahl Vickers ordered the Kemal to send a team of bombers to attack the Japanese light cruiser that was still wandering in front of the fleet. Only half an hour later, the German ship reported that it had successfully sunk the Japanese cruiser. At the same time, the destroyer on the right side of the fleet detected an unidentified submarine and got the flagship attack signal. After that, three fish destroyers and two harpoon submarine chaser rushed to the deep-water bomb, and the sea turned up a burst of oil when the submarine was beaten by two cups of coffee. Dirt and residual stains-German spies lurking in Oahu once again reported that the fleet docked at Pearl Harbor Day moved out of the harbor when it was ordered to deploy a cordon destroyer fleet in front of the fleet and arrived at the scheduled battle position. The troops included in the action included six battleships and patrol ships, one aircraft carrier, four armored cruisers, four destroyers and five auxiliary ships. This is the day when the main naval force in Hawaii left Pearl Harbor with less than 3o light ships and naval transport ships.
At dusk, the German destroyer team was warned to shoot down two planes that came to spy on the Japanese navy, and another one fled in panic after being injured. Just half an hour after driving away the Japanese plane, the destroyer team was nearby, and now a Japanese submarine and four destroyers rushed away, which was another kick.
The Japanese submarine soon sank to the bottom of the sea forever with its crew.
After nightfall, the fleet in Vic, Fondahl will be blacked out and the anti-submarine route will continue to move in the direction of Hawaii. The Japanese fleet that came out of Pearl Harbor naturally disappeared from the sight of German spy and reconnaissance submarines, while the Japanese destroyers, submarines and seaplanes around the German fleet moved more frequently than during the day. This was very busy. The fleet escorted German destroyers and submarine chaser, and they sank three Japanese submarines, injured one and drove three others. Three Japanese destroyers acting alone exchanged fire and sank one of them one night.
On this night, the pilots of several heavy aircraft carriers and medium-sized aircraft carriers slept soundly in the entire German fleet. They were asked to have a good sleep in the hatch. All the sounds outside were not with them before dawn. The four light aircraft carriers in the fleet were very good at night reconnaissance and vigilance. Fighters took off from their faces and constantly drove away, trying to approach the German fleet at night. The Japanese reconnaissance plane was limited by the conditions of night fighting. Both fighters failed to wave their original skills and tactics well, but the reconnaissance gains were obviously worthless.
The noisy night finally ended with the early sunrise in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The German fleet has sailed to the sea area less than 32 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor. The heavy and medium-sized aircraft carrier fighters and bombers turned against the wind were neatly arranged at one end of the flight deck. After a sumptuous breakfast, the German pilots walked into their fighter cabins in high spirits and followed the take-off order to get the pilots to follow the plane and fly off the deck.
In half an hour, 7 fighter planes and 152 bombers took off from six carrier ships of the German fleet, namely Kemal, Prussia, Lorraine, Joachim, Sekendorf and Erpitz, and completed the formation in the fleet. Although the number and quality of these German ships have passed the entire Japanese air force in Hawaii.
After the first wave of attack fleet came out, the German fleet continued to sail in the direction of the Hawaiian Islands. The crew of the six main aircraft carriers were nervous and orderly, and the fighters and bombers were ready to invest in the second wave of attack fleet. The four light aircraft carriers kept sending reconnaissance planes and fighters to conduct reconnaissance and alert in the vicinity of the fleet.
At 15 pm, the German attack fleet flew from the north to Oahu after circling a circle. Although it was a tactical strategy, it greatly shortened the early warning time of the Japanese army. When the German fighters flew to Pearl Harbor, half of the Japanese planes still stayed at airports near the port.
Destroy the day Chapter 57 Storm Pearl Harbor
"Come and help me! I was bitten by two Japanese fighters!"
When the anxious sound came from the earphone, Herman Goering had just beaten a Japanese fighter plane that he had been chasing for a long time. It was a pity that the performance and experience gap between the two fighters was obvious that the German navy ace pilot was so strong that the Japanese pilot wanted to be technically good.
Hearing his wingman calling for help, Goering told each other a heroic and savior spirit
"Hold on, I’m coming!"
After a beautiful turn, Goering is now surrounded by fighters chasing each other. It took him a little effort to find his wingman about 15oo meters ahead. Sure enough, two Japanese fighters were biting behind its ass, and one of them was still trying to hit each other with some shots.
"Hum, how dare you hit me with Goering’s wingman idea? I’m really tired of living!"
Goering said angrily in his mind that although he is not the ace pilot of the Sixth Army, Herman Goering is still famous in the German Navy. Since joining the air force of the German Navy in 1914, Goering has shot down a total of 29 enemy planes. The absolute number is small, but it is not because of his poor technology, but because he has a great way of fighting the enemy facing the German Navy. Goering’s total attendance has passed 2ooo times, but he has actually encountered enemy planes 61 times, which means that he can shoot down every two encounters. An enemy plane is already the first-class pilot at this level, but most of the time in the war, Goering, like most ship pilots, can carry out ground-to-ground or ship-to-ship attacks, so that their fighter pilots can’t compete with those bomber pilots
Goering slammed a throttle inertia and pushed him into the cockpit back chair. It was a very pleasant thing to fly in this beautiful Hawaii on such a comfortable morning. There were many prey flying around. Nothing could be more wonderful for Goering, a "hungry man" who had not shot down enemy planes for four months.
In a short time, Goering sneaked around to the back of the two Japanese fighters who were attacking his wingman in turn. He quickly put one of them into his sight until the best time, and then pressed the shooting button for two seconds, and suddenly the Japanese fighter turned into a ball of fire.
The pilot of another Japanese plane was clever enough to give up when he saw that the situation was not good, and his prey was about to flee to another direction. But "Hungry" Goering would not let him go easily. henkel ii quickly chased the Japanese six-type six-army fighter plane that escaped. On that day, the pilot tried his best to get rid of the German fighter plane that followed closely like a shadow. It was definitely a very wonderful battle for the ground spectators. After more than a minute, Goering finally found an excellent attack opportunity: four 792 mm machine guns and one 20 mm door.
At this time, Goering’s headphones came to the wingman’s voice again. "Wei did a really beautiful job! I dare say there are few pilots in the navy who can fly better than you! "
"Well, study hard!" Goering’s tone was very calm, but his face showed a smug smile. Of course, no one here could see his true expression.
At this time, the war on Oahu is gradually reaching its climax. More than 400 fighters from both sides are fiercely competing for the German naval fleet from afar against the hasty battle day. Although the victory or defeat of the 6 th Army and the Navy has not yet been announced, it is suspected that the scene is that the German side has occupied a considerable advantage. While the Japanese fighters are firmly entangled in the German fighters, they will accompany the German bombers to bomb the military targets around the Japanese ships at Pearl Harbor. Although the Japanese fire resistance is very fierce, the brave German pilots are still sophisticated. In less than 5 minutes, a Japanese cruiser and three destroyers were sunk in Hong Kong. Those patrol boats that tried to leave the port were also bombed and strafed by German bombers. Their fragile defense could not resist the bullets from Chinese aircraft. After strafing, several patrol boats helped the ships floating in the harbor to be silent.
Since the main force of the Japanese fleet is not in Pearl Harbor at this time, the German bomber pilots have no intention to spend more effort on these poor small ships at all. They soon turned their attention to the damn Japanese defense positions around the port, such as docks and warehouses, which constantly fired bullets and shells at themselves.
Looking at the whole Pearl Harbor, when many berths swing, the right side of the harbor entrance is the Higanm military base and oil depot. The naval shipyard is the most eye-catching target, especially the huge dry dock. People can’t help but imagine how huge warships can be built here. The target is to take off from the Prussia bomber group. Thirty-two Keju II dive bombers moved from the south after making a half turn in the port. The bombing methods of the barracuda horizontal bomber torpedo machine are different. The juii dived from more than 3ooo meters and dropped bombs before pulling up. High precision is one of them. The other feature is that the reaction time for the other side’s fire resistance is short. However, when German Hawk roared and rushed to the airport and shipyard, the Japanese anti-aircraft guns deployed there quickly achieved the first record today ―― juii rushed to the front and just dropped three aerial bombs when an American 40 mm anti-aircraft gun hit the plane from the front and was blown up by Ling on the spot!
When the American troops retreated, they generously left a large amount of military supplies to the Japanese army, including many fortress guns and anti-aircraft guns deployed near Pearl Harbor. Moreover, the military warehouse was also full of all kinds of small-caliber weapons and sufficient ammunition. Even the Japanese generals who led the army to occupy this place were greatly surprised and lamented that the Americans had such rich financial resources but did not know how to cherish them. Nowadays, these weapons and ammunition have been fully benefited by the Japanese army. All kinds of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns were deployed around Pearl Harbor, and they achieved good results in the first wave of German attacks. It took more than half a month to shoot down the number of German defense troops.
However, the fierce fire of the Japanese army could not stop the ambitious German pilots from bravely rushing to the target again and again and dropping deadly bombs in successive explosions.
