Chapter 144 1944: Swiftness and Lightning (15)

"All formations keep up!"

"It's about to enter the oil depot!"

"The oil depot is below, and the entire army attacks!"

"Boom" and as soon as the order was issued, Xinxiang Yingcheng took the lead in throwing the 400-kilogram bomb he carried, and then others scattered their attacks.

The Japanese army is very familiar with the location of the oil depot. The defense facilities in other places in Pearl Harbor may change, but this place cannot change anything. It still stands there like three years ago. The only difference is that the US military is equipped with more isolation facilities, fire protection and fire protection equipment, but this cannot change the defects that the oil depot itself is prone to detonation. The US military has indeed built an underground fuel depot, but its capacity is not large, with a total storage scale of only 12% of the total, and 500 kilograms of half-armor-piercing bombs can be bombed. This time, for the sake of safety, several meteors have transformed the 800 kilograms of aviation bombs.

“Torah…Torah…Torah…”

As soon as he received this code name, Chiaki Matsuda happily almost jumped up: "Sir, the surprise attack has been successful!"

"Thank you for your hard work! The fleet turns and leaves!"

After the first wave of surprise attacks was successful, Hori Teiki also had a slight smile on her face: "The third attack wave mission was cancelled, the air defense fighter took off, and the fleet was cleaned up according to the scheduled air defense plan!"

He issued three orders in a row, and the staff immediately implemented them.

"Relieve the radio silence, inform the direction of this fleet, Kakuta and Tsukahara, and ask the Second Air War to move closer to me. Well, just say that the situation in our unit is tense, please ask him to support me!"

Matsuda Chiaki responded with a smile: There was no problem with the tension in the support fleet. However, the Kakuda fleet would probably be out of fuel if it didn't come. The commander said this just to give Kakuda a reminder, hoping that he could reflect on it.

“Onboard!”

The second attack wave also received the signal from the first attack wave and everyone cheered. At this time, since the entire line was started, there was no need to hide the traces. Under the command of Colonel Jiang Caolongfan, the Flight Corps Commander of the Supporting Force, he began to lift and speed up.

"Sir, attack!"

Kakuda and Tsukahara also received a code telegram of "Tiger Tiger". Although they did not clarify what it meant, they knew it completely.

However, Hori Teiki then asked the telegram of Er Hang to quickly get closer, which made Kakuda scratch his head embarrassedly: He is not a fool, he can fully understand the meaning of the telegram between the lines. Who is tense? On the other hand, it is almost the same.

At 6:04, the first air defense fighter aircraft of the support fleet took off. The pilot was the Second Lieutenant Sugita Sochi, known as the Purple Electric King. Before departure, he was awarded the rank of Second Lieutenant. As a preparatory student in the aviation school who had just graduated for two and a half years, he was under 21 years old. He only opened the record two years ago (October 1942), but his level was good. He was selected when Hori Teiki selected a carrier-based pilot from land-based. After boarding the ship, he showed extraordinary talent and the number of shot down increased sharply. Especially after changing to Purple Electric, his technical ability became more outstanding. He did not lose the least when fighting with ace pilots such as Akamatsu Sadaki. Considering his age and qualifications, it was amazing!

Historically, Sugita Soichi was one of the pilots who guarded Yamamoto Izumoto's car and finally witnessed his downed. However, now it is obvious that the trajectory of life has undergone a major change and he has begun to carry out the ship battle direct guard mission.

The protagonist of "Space Decisive Battle" Takahashi absorbed a story from him: In 1940, Sugita and his friend Kyoto Mizushima entered the Maizuru Preparatory School together. The training was very difficult. Two 16-year-old boys could not stand the idea of ​​escaping, but on the way out, they met a commander and took them to see the new fighter Zero (in the film, the commander took Takahashi, who wanted to be a hero and was not able to endure hardship because of his wealth. The tail wing was covered with shooting down signs), and then dispelled the idea of ​​desertion, which inspired his commander to crash and die during training (in the film, the commander died in battle).

Within 15 minutes, all 124 purple electric or Fiery Wind reforms carrying sub-fuel tanks and rockets have been taken off. Fighters that are exempt from the third attack wave escort mission will join the direct cover force to be responsible for the fleet air defense. So far, all fighter jets supporting the fleet (including two transport ships in the morning and call backup) have been taken off. Except for more than 70 attack aircraft and more than 20 colorful clouds (yeolian colorful clouds), there are no other available aircraft on the deck.

6:23, the sky gradually began to brighten. The support fleet released all of Aiyunji, and formed three wheeled air defense arrays according to Hori Teiki's instructions: the southernmost part is the intercepting array with five escort aircraft carriers as the main force, and the forward radar monitoring is provided by the Rendian light cruiser; in the middle is a camouflage array with 6 escort aircraft carriers and 2 emptied transport supply ships as the core (looks like the main aircraft carrier force); in the end, Kashiro, the command formation of two Yunlong-class and two other aircraft supply ships, the Dadian light cruiser with the strongest communication capabilities (has served as the flagship of the Joint Fleet in history) followed the flagship Kashiro.

When the second attack wave came in full force and the support fleet was deployed, the air strikes on the oil depot by the first attack wave had entered a white-hot state.

One 250-kilogram bomb after another exploded in the oil reservoir area, breaking through the thickened oil storage tank while causing flames. The US defense forces, which had already reacted, poured air defense fire into the air crazily, while trying to extinguish the flames.

More than 300,000 tons of various fuels are stored in the oil storage area, of which more than 85% are heavy oil for ships, and the rest are lubricating oil, gasoline and other oils. The most important thing is that the aviation fuel with the highest value is basically stored underground. Heavy oil is as viscous as tar and cannot be easily burned most of the time, but after it is actually burned, it will be very difficult to extinguish it. In order to achieve the attack effect, the Japanese army not only carried bombs with ships and wars, but also allowed some meteors to carry incendiary bombs, waiting for the heavy oil storage tank to burst, and then put out incendiary bombs after heavy oil flows all over the ground.

"It's burning! It's burning!"

After driving a meteor-changed Tomoto Murata saw the incendiary bombs dropped by Nakamura in the back seat igniting the ground. Facing the "river of fire" flowing wildly, Hollowly shouting: "It's so spectacular, so magnificent!"

"Boom!" This is a diesel tank that was not directly hit, but was ignited by the "Fire River" and exploded. The instantaneous air wave not only took away the US military officers and soldiers who were desperately extinguishing the fire, but also ignited a mushroom cloud more than 80 meters high.

"Boom boom boom!" The US anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the low-flying Japanese aircraft group and opened fire fiercely.

Murata, who was very proud just now, was about to pull it up and leave, but after pulling it several times, he couldn't pull it up. The plane's height kept falling. He screamed: "Nakamura, the plane was shot!"

"Can you still fly back?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. The joystick is no longer in control. You can jump."

"Skydiving?" Nakamura shook his head, "I would rather die than be a prisoner! You can jump, you are the only son in your family!"

"No! The commander before departure also encouraged us to fight bravely. What's the face of me being a prisoner? Let's go together?"

Nakamura in the back seat stretched out his hand and put it on Murata's shoulder: "Murata, Kurata, Misato Kyusaka!"

"Kyuu Duan Saka!" Murata lowered the head of the machine and swooped towards the ground.
