Screams came, and many of the American soldiers on the water were burned to ashes. They struggled to swim to the bottom of the water. But not long after they swam, the cannons of the Japanese fighter jets began to spit flames at them again.
The bullets from the heavy machine gun are traveling through the water. Although these bullets cannot fly too far in the water, their power is enough to penetrate the soldiers in the water.
¡°Get on the warship!!!¡±
The commander of the US military roared and took the lead in running towards the warship.
The anti-aircraft artillery on their warships also began to be controlled by soldiers at this time, shooting at the Japanese fighter planes that dived towards their warships.
The Japanese fighter pilots also dived towards the US warships without fear. The artillery of both sides fired at the same time, shooting wildly. Then they were all beaten to pieces under intensive machine gun fire.
It was not just the US military¡¯s Pearl Harbor naval base that was attacked. There are also US military oil bases, military airports, hospitals and other areas.
At this time, the Japanese fighter formations responsible for sneak attacks on these locations had already begun their first round of attacks.
The focus of their attack was military airports. The US military has several military airports on Hawaii Island with hundreds of fighter planes. Once they take off successfully, they will pose a huge threat to the Japanese fighter planes that attacked Pearl Harbor.
Yamamoto Isoroku and Nagumo Chuichi also know this. They allocated a full third of the fighter jet formation from the first round of sneak attacks to specifically attack these airports.
At this time, the U.S. military at those military airports did not realize what had happened.
It wasn¡¯t until those Japanese fighter planes showed their ferocious faces and swooped down at them from the sky that they realized something was wrong.
But it was too late. The Japanese dive bombers and fighter jets immediately bombed the U.S. fighter planes parked at the airport.
Most of these US military fighters and bombers were destroyed on the ground before they even took off.
The targets of the Japanese bombing were not only the aircraft at the airport, but also the runway of the airport.
Aerial bombs were fired one after another in a carpet bombing of the U.S. military's airport runway. Soon the originally flat runway turned into a bumpy moon surface.
The air force¡¯s defensive capabilities at the airport are limited, with only some machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns capable of providing air defense. This firepower was obviously not enough, because the Japanese fighter planes that attacked them absolutely suppressed them in terms of firepower and quantity.
After a short period of resistance, these firepower points were destroyed by Japanese fighter planes.
Then their air formation began to carry out focused strikes on the fighters on the airport.
Many US military pilots braved the hail of bullets and climbed into the cockpit of the fighter plane. They wanted to take off and fight the Japanese aviation to the end, but most of these aircraft were unable to take off and were destroyed on the ground by Japanese aircraft.
The burning fighter planes were wrapped in explosions and flames, like flowers destroyed by wind and rain.
And hospitals on Hawaii Island were also hit.
The purpose of the Japanese army is to reduce the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Navy to the greatest extent. After their combat personnel are injured and cannot be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, they will turn from wounded to killed.
As for the civilians in the hospital
This is war, they don¡¯t care so much. If they really cared so much, why would they wantonly kill innocent people on the Chinese battlefield?
Therefore, including these hospitals within the scope of bombing is not a matter that requires much debate for the Japanese army.
¡°Many US soldiers who have just been sent to the hospital have not had time to be pushed into the operating room. The roar of Japanese fighter planes could already be heard from outside.
Amid the roar of victory, bombs and machine gun bullets poured into these hospitals.
A large number of civilians were killed and injured by bombs and bullets. Many wounded U.S. soldiers who had just entered the hospital immediately began to curse.
After all, being injured by a bomb is already very unfortunate. Now, as soon as they were transferred to the hospital, they were attacked by the Japanese army again.
When the first round of attacks was underway, the intelligence personnel receiving telegrams in the U.S. Naval Command were already busy.
?"The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor!! This is not a drill!!"
People in the intelligence community were yelling about the contents of the telegram, which was from Pearl Harbor. Although the content was very brief, the meaning it represented shocked everyone present.
Nimitz immediately called the White House office.
At this time, their President Roosevelt had already been waiting by the phone, waiting for news from Nimitz.
But what he was waiting for first was the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Although he had already expected that the Japanese army might launch an attack on their military base. But I didn't expect that it would be today.
After listening to General Nimitz¡¯s report, he slowly put down the phone. His usually calm face now showed a rare expression of anger.
"Immediately notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Defense to prepare a speech." Roosevelt looked at his secretary and said.
His secretary guessed from Roosevelt's expression that General Nimitz on the other end of the phone must have said some bad news.
"What's the content?" the secretary asked.
"Declare war on Japan!!" Roosevelt said almost through gritted teeth.
"What?"
"The Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor!!!" Roosevelt stood up on crutches and shouted as he walked: "Immediately submit a wartime bill to Congress to lift restrictions on the president's power. At the same time, he declared a national emergency and all The factory can be turned back into military use at any time"
As he walked, he issued various orders. The sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the long corridor of the White House.
At this moment, he is not an old man who seems to be unable to walk well, but the President of the United States of America. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
