Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 707: Attack on Pearl Harbor (2)

Pearl Harbor is located at the lowest point of the plain between the Kolau Mountains and the Waianae Mountains on the south coast of Oahu. It is adjacent to the only deep-water port of Honolulu. It is the base and shipbuilding base of the U.S. Navy and an island in the North Pacific. It is one of the largest and best safe harbors in the world. General civilian ships and foreign ships are not allowed to enter without special permission from the U.S. Department of the Navy.

Of course, the German aircraft did not require permission and simply barged in. But even they didn't expect that this operation would go so smoothly. Worried about being detected by the American radar, they flew at a low altitude 200 kilometers away, almost flying over the sea. You must know that the American radar was malfunctioning, so they flew over openly.

The shrill battle sirens rang over Pearl Harbor, but the sleeping US sailors did not realize that the danger was coming. They slowly sat up from the bed, rubbed their groggy eyes, yawned and looked for clothes to wear. They had experienced several such emergency drills when the war first broke out, but they had heard so many stories about the coming wolf that people would naturally not believe that there really was a coming wolf. Because as long as you enter the combat position within the stipulated time, everything will be fine, and there is still plenty of time from when the combat alarm sounds to entering the combat position.

"Ha! So many warships!" The German aircraft fleet has already flown over the port. Looking at the densely packed warships parked in the port, the pilots sighed in the communication frequency band. It’s all flying to the point of being overwhelmed, so there’s no need to continue to maintain radio silence. "We should come here with torpedoes." These warships were parked neatly below. I don't know how many they could sink in one torpedo attack.

"Don't worry about them, they will be sunk by us sooner or later."

At this time, on the battleships below, the sailors who had just arrived on the deck looked at the black iron crosses on the wings of the fleet in the sky and couldn't help but scream. "God! It's a German plane!! Quick anti-aircraft guns! Shoot them down!!"

This time the wolf is really here! !

The sailors hurriedly ran towards the battleship's anti-aircraft gun position, but before they had time to turn the guns, a group of German aircraft flew over their heads and headed straight for the oil depot.

The oil depot was only seven or eight kilometers away from the port, and the fleet of aircraft flew over to the oil depot in less than a minute.

Strict anti-aircraft artillery fire was deployed around the oil depot, but at this time there were only a few soldiers on duty at the anti-aircraft gun emplacements. The remaining gunners had just left their dormitories and were running desperately to their own artillery emplacements.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several anti-aircraft guns fired desperately, but the high-altitude German attack planes had already begun to dive. Watching the huge bombs break away from the belly of the aircraft and fall straight down, the commander on the air defense position He screamed in despair. "Quickly retreat! Get out of here!"

There are millions of tons of fuel stored in the oil depot. Although heavy oil has a high ignition point, it is just not easy to burn. If the Germans drop an incendiary bomb... No chance, he is 200% sure that the Germans will definitely drop an incendiary bomb. , since they came here specifically to attack, they can't throw armor-piercing bullets.

Once it is detonated here, the power will definitely not be less than that of a volcanic eruption!

He grabbed the nearest gunner and pushed him away. "Run! The further you run, the better!"

boom! !

Pacific Fleet Commander-in-Chief Husband Edward Kimmel was awakened from his sleep by the sudden and shrill sound of the battle siren. Just as he was about to pick up the phone, the phone rang first. The staff officer on the other end of the phone was so flustered that he could not speak coherently. "Commander, commander! German planes!"

Commander Kimmel frowned slightly. "Why are you panicking? Let the soldiers enter combat positions and do what they usually do in training!" Their radar detection range is about 180 kilometers. Even if it is a fighter plane, it takes about 15 minutes to fly. If it is a bomber, there will be more time.

the staff officer shouted. "Commander, the German planes have arrived over the port!"

"What?!" Commander Kimmel shouted loudly as he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. "Tell me clearly, what do you mean the German plane has arrived over the port?! Where is the radar station?!" At this time, there was a dull roar outside, and Commander Kimmel quickly walked to the window and opened it He opened the curtains and suddenly saw the black German planes flying in the distant sky.

What's going on? !Commander Kimmel did not bother to ask why the radar station did not issue an alarm in advance. He saw that the direction in which these German planes were flying was the oil depot!

"Oh God, they are going to bomb the oil depot!" Commander Kimmel could see through the Germans' intentions at a glance. If they bombed it, the entire island of Oahu would be in danger. Their troops and supplies on the island will be completely wiped out. Who will take the responsibility? ! No matter who he is, he will become the most despised person in American history! !

"Where are our fighter jets? Take off and intercept them!" These are not heavy fighter jets that can fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Judging from their size, they should be single-engine attack aircraft. Our own fighter jets are still capable of fighting.

Is it too late? !

boom!

There was a violent explosion in the distance, and even the ground shook.

Commander Kimmel almost fell to the ground in despair.

"It's over!"

The Germans don't just drop one bomb!

A few seconds later, a more violent explosion came, and the ground shook so hard that it was impossible to stand. Commander Kimmel held on to the table and gave orders into the microphone. "Quick, let everyone evacuate Oahu! The sooner the better!" Now even if we shoot down all the German fighter planes, it will be of no avail! The most important thing is to ensure the safety of personnel!

What the Germans dropped was napalm. When it exploded, it produced a high temperature of over 1,000 degrees. At this temperature, let alone fuel, even vegetable oil had to burn. As the oil depot exploded, no one dared to stay in the anti-aircraft gun positions around the oil depot. Everyone fled desperately, staying as far away from the burning buildings as possible.

As the fire spread, the entire island of Oahu turned into a giant torch.

Fire borrows the power of wind, and wind aids the power of fire.

The flames kept rising into flames, and then jumped a few times and turned into ferocious fire dragons, rolling towards the ground with teeth and claws, devouring everything on the island.

The billowing thick smoke enveloped the entire island, and people fled in panic in the blinding smoke; some people fell to the ground and fell unconscious while running because of inhaling excessive smoke; some people were shot head-on while fleeing. The oncoming car crashed into the car, but the people in the car had no time to get down to check and continued to press on the accelerator. They just wanted to escape from this hell on earth, but they crashed into the raging fire.
