spn United States, Washington.[]

It was almost night, and in a conference room of the White House, many important American military and political officials were standing there. This was already the third emergency meeting since the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident.

The first meeting was due to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. The second meeting was due to the devastating bombing of Oahu and the Pacific Fleet suffered a heavy setback.

The third meeting was to discuss how to counter the provocation from the Japanese.

Since the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, the ruling party Democrats have launched an emergency public relations campaign to portray President Roosevelt as the leader who will save the United States. The slogan adopted by the Democrats is "He will lead the United States to defeat Hitler and the Emperor." For a small number of people,

People from all walks of life in the United States, including the media, believe that "the captain cannot be changed midway when a ship encounters a rip current" [

President Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair for the entire day and did not even have time to enjoy a White House lunch. For the first time, he had a lunch of bread. During this short but thrilling day, he sat in a wheelchair and went to Congress.

He delivered a speech, he made war rhetoric in front of the classical circles, and he urgently summoned the four major powers of Britain, the Soviet Union, Canada, and China...

In one short day, Roosevelt did a lot for this war, but when the admiration came, the dignitaries headed by him returned to the conference room to seriously discuss how to fight back.

"Gentlemen, I still believe that revenge against the Japanese can only rely on our own strength. What is worrying is that our B25 bomber group tried to take off from the west coast to search for possible Japanese fleets, but found nothing. However,

General Nimitz brought us good news. His brave battle in Hawaii brought us the glorious achievement of shooting down more than 180 Japanese aircraft.

In recognition of General Nimitz's tremendous contributions to a free America, I have decided to award him the Medal of Honor, the highest honor of his life."

In the evening, when Nimitz sent the final statistical results back to the country, senior officials in Washington cheered and many major newspapers urgently published evening supplements.

At this most difficult moment, no one cares about the heavy losses at Pearl Harbor. No one cares about how many aircraft carriers or battleships were sunk. No one shouts at the top of his lungs "Where are our aircraft carriers and fleets?"

No one cares about the cost of shooting down these Japanese planes. As politicians and ordinary American citizens, what they care about is that at this most difficult moment, the "government" and the military have allowed the people to see victory, even if it is a small victory.

Victory. Free America, no matter what, ushered in victory.

More than 180 Japanese fighter planes of various types were shot down. This record is obviously not small. If you do not consider Pearl Harbor, which was bombed into ruins, and the many Pacific Fleet Air Force warships and aircraft that were shot down in the subsequent air battles, then it is indeed

It's a big victory.

"Mr. President, your decision is correct. General Nimitz deserves the highest honor. It was he who saved the situation at the most difficult moment."

The Vice President of the United States, Henry Wallace, expressed absolute support for his old partner's decision. Other military and political officials also nodded.

"My Mr. Secretary, where is our support fleet currently?" Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction and turned to Admiral Knox, Secretary of the Navy. The old Secretary of the Navy, who had become very depressed because of the Pearl Harbor incident, heard the president ask

After saying this, he was slightly stunned and said, "Mr. President, our support fleet is still a mile away from Hawaii and will not be able to reach Hawaii until the morning of tomorrow at the earliest."

Hearing this time, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but frown slightly. Maybe the Japanese fleet would have returned the day after tomorrow.

Roosevelt: "We have no time. We must find a way to send enough support. The Japanese were still near Hawaii a few months ago. This is the best time for revenge. Hasn't our B29 strategic bomber been successfully developed?"

"But Mr. President, currently we only have three Japanese IV bombers, two of which are test aircraft." Haverman, an equipment director of the newly established US Department of Defense, expressed his sense of strength tactfully.

"What about the B17 bomber or the B24 bomber?" Roosevelt asked with some suspicion. In his impression, the bomber should be the most suitable aircraft to carry out his ideal mission.

"The range of the Japanese 17 bombers is short. If we want to perform missions in Hawaii, we can only use B24 bombers. If the speed is reduced, then they are enough to fly to Hawaii and fly back after completing the mission. If it is a B25 bomber or B17

, after they fly to Hawaii, they can only make an emergency landing or fall into the water."

Haverman said with some worry, in fact, even he is not sure whether the four Liberator bombers can achieve better combat results after they are deployed. "Mr. President, if four bombers are used to search for the Japanese fleet, it is a feasible method, but

, if you want to bomb the Japanese fleet, the effect may not be very good. You must know that due to their high-altitude horizontal drop capability, the probability of hitting a moving warship is less than 10%, and if they lower their altitude, they will be attacked by dozens of Japanese warships.

Massive anti-aircraft firepower massacre.”

Roosevelt frowned slightly, nodded, and discussed with his staff in a low voice. Then he asked Secretary of the Navy Knox and General of the Army General Marshall before finally making a decision, "Gentlemen, I hope you

Understand that the current situation is very tense and if we can win a more inspiring victory in the direction of Hawaii, we will have more time for final preparations in this war.

Deploy all our B24 bombers in the west and cooperate with General Nimitz to pinch and bomb the Japanese fleet."

"Yes, Mr. President." Everyone's opinion was unanimous again.[

Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction, "Gentlemen, as long as we do our best, whether it is the Germans or the Japanese, it will only be a temporary difficulty. We have already ordered to enter wartime production status, and we will soon have a second

Three Pacific fleets, as well as hundreds of aircraft and tanks. I hope you understand that even if it costs some aircraft, we should strive for more victories. This is a must.

Victory must belong to the United States."

In Roosevelt's view, the actual combat effect of the bomber may not be ideal, but in conjunction with Nimitz's fleet, it will definitely cause certain heavy losses to the Japanese.

However, before the meeting ended, a White House deputy director of intelligence knocked open the door of the conference room, walked up to Roosevelt in panic, and handed him the intelligence he had just received.

...""

When Roosevelt was mentally prepared and received this piece of information, he was still stunned, with a somewhat stunned expression, and did not even notice that the intelligence paper had fallen to the ground. []

Vice President Wallace next to him picked up the newspaper and took a look at it. His face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "Our Pacific Fleet is suffering from a fierce night attack by the enemy..."

Many American military and political officials in the conference room had dead expressions on their faces. The lively combat meeting just now had turned into nothing.

Although it was already time to hold the lamp, Zhang Shusheng felt that his blood was boiling. In the concave image not far away in front of him, and in the slightly whitened night vision image, was the entire remaining US Pacific fleet, scattered on the sea surface for several kilometers, with six aircraft carriers.

The several ships headed by it still looked huge under the night vision surveillance of the Compound Eye battlefield surveillance system.

The first one to start diving was the hhf-2 Thunderbird dive bomber. When this aircraft was finalized, Zhang Shusheng participated in the design of a key modification part of it. This sea-based dive bomber was modified from the H-type bomber.

A multi-purpose bomber. In wartime, as a sea-based dive type, it can perform dive bombing at a near-vertical angle of about 20 degrees, and can also launch torpedoes at low horizontal altitudes.

Although it is different from the nearly four-degree vertical bombing of the Stuka dive bombers currently in service in the German army, it is by no means a gap, but a difference.

According to the combat purposes, the People's Army, Navy and Air Force do not really need aircraft similar to the J-87 Stuka dive bomber. Aircraft similar to the Stuka have too high requirements for pilots, and their anti-aircraft firepower is getting stronger and stronger.

Today, improving the efficiency of single-plane bombing at the expense of increasing the hit rate of aircraft and the death rate of pilots is increasingly not adopted by the People's Army's operational philosophy. After making great progress in horizontal bombing at medium and high altitudes, dive bombers gradually

It has become a battlefield auxiliary aircraft, and is more often used for ship dive attacks, land battlefield dive attacks on tank groups, fire suppression, etc. on the premise of controlling sufficient air superiority.

According to Zhang Shusheng's ideas, all major aircraft types of the Republic in the middle and late stages of World War II have been successfully developed, or are about to be successfully developed. For example, bombers, medium-range bombers represented by the land-based U3 Golden Crow bomber, and Yinyiyin mountain-moving transport aircraft

As a prototype, the Ren-type Thor heavy bomber was modified.

Based on the technological accumulation of the T-32, in 1940, the People's Army Air Force finally equipped the first long-range heavy bomber. Just a few days ago, a test flight application report for the new land-based strategic bomber Xiajun bomber was

It was placed on his desk. As soon as the Pearl Harbor incident was over, he was going to inspect the final test flight of this future long-range heavy strategic bomber. In his conception, the war positioning of the T-35 Long-range heavy bomber was similar to that of the United States.

The People's Japanese IV Super Sky Fortress bomber and the Rengou strategic bomber will be the final strategic bomber used by the People's Army to suppress any enemy in World War II in the next few years.

Because there are sea hawks patrolling and monitoring the US warships at an altitude of 10,000 meters, flying at a height far exceeding the upper limit of the US military radar's side detection height, even the latest radars on the three US aircraft carriers cannot detect them, let alone those battleships or

An old Japanese radar on a cruiser.

Under the guidance of the Seahawk frontline reconnaissance aircraft, the night attack group of the Chinese task force arrived over the battlefield ten minutes ago. The vanguard of the group, two -3 electronic interference aircraft modified from H-3 bombers, carried

The latest active electronic jamming equipment began to turn on the jamming equipment on the electric combat aircraft beyond the detection limit of the US military radar, turning the radar on the US aircraft carrier into a snowflake.

"Thunderbirds are dispatched, preparing to burn and indicate targets for the fleet."

Although this wave of night attack fleets included many night combat aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision devices, the commander of the fleet, Senior Colonel Wen Deng, still issued the order that best ensured success, ordering the dive bombers to drop incendiaries and ignite the warships, so that the night battles could be destroyed.

Reduce the difficulty to the minimum and maximize the results.

"clear."

As the picture changed, because the compound eye battlefield monitoring system was connected to the front line command channel, Zhang Shusheng could hear Wen Deng's voice giving orders. Following his order, each of the six aircraft carried four to six 250-kilometer bombs.

The Thunderbirds dive bomber, which was burning several stages of napalm, began to lower its altitude. Based on the behemoth in the infrared sight, the pilot began to dive and approach.

Although the hhf-2 dive bombers were not as aggressive as the Stuka bombers, they were equally noisy when they dived. As they dived, some sailors in the US fleet did notice something unusual, but it wasn't until the searchlight accidentally shined

When a plane flashed over, they roared in terror.

"Enemy attack... enemy attack..." [

Some U.S. sailors who had no time to escape subconsciously lay down on the deck at the moment when the plane passed by in the dark night overhead. On the Independence, there were at least one aircraft carrier sailor who had been preparing the ship and aircraft on the deck all night for tomorrow's use.

He lay down on the deck reflexively.

They were familiar with this sound. Every time those dive bombers landed, the sound was similar.

"Pa..."

There were a few soft sounds, and just when the American officers and soldiers were wondering why there was no earth-shattering explosion, in the blink of an eye, the burning thing that was thrown onto the armor suddenly exploded.

"Save...save..."

The sky-high fire engulfed the deck in an instant. When napalm was used on warships, it was just as effective. Even if there were no sailors or aircraft or any combustible objects on the deck surface, it would still burn tenaciously on the deck.

Three aircraft carriers and three battleships were set on fire one after another. The decks were filled with huge fires, and in the fires, there were heart-rending roars from each one.

"ah……"

Finally, an American soldier could not bear the heart-rending pain and jumped into the sea with the fire burning.

In the blink of an eye, the group of US warships that had been peaceful just now had six targets burning with blazing fire, and the warships scattered on the sea surface for several kilometers near them were clearly visible.

"The night fighter group began bombing."

Former Colonel Wen Deng issued the order in a steady manner according to the plan.

According to Ji Ge, dive bombers first ignited the target, and then Wanye fighter aircraft equipped with active infrared equipment performed dive bombing and horizontal bombing at medium altitudes. Because when more and more warships were hit, the fire and smoke generated by the explosion

All of them must interfere with infrared equipment to varying degrees. In order to maximize the results, the night fighter group must select key ships for the first bombing.

Other auxiliary bombers were hovering quietly at high altitude, waiting for the moment when the group would rise up. Looking from Zhang Shusheng's perspective, with the excellent night vision effect of the compound eye system, he could clearly see a dive bomber flying first.

When he was over a large US aircraft carrier, he could even see its English hull number clearly.

Not far from this hhf-3 Thunderbird dive bomber, there is another Thunderbird, but it performs a horizontal torpedo attack mission.

"The first grand prize, the Rijinshan number."

As the camera zoomed in, Zhang Shusheng could clearly see that the Thunderbirds dive bomber had broken through the final attack of the Rijinshan, which was only composed of two anti-aircraft cannons and machine guns.
