Chapter 668 Williams at Pearl Harbor
Chapter 668 Williams at Pearl Harbor
The Japanese headquarters also did not dare to provoke the bearded man with a torrent of steel.
Since they cannot take over China for the time being, they will first seize the resources in Southeast Asia.
In their perception, Britain and France, as old empires, are finished.
America's troops were on the other side of the ocean, and their supply lines were too long.
As long as they defeat the US troops in the Pacific, by the time America reacts, Southeast Asia and Oceania will already be under the control of Japan.
So, in the early morning of December 7, 1941.
The Japanese Navy sent out six aircraft carriers, two battleships, three cruisers and nine destroyers.
Together with 441 aircraft of various types, they formed the combined fleet.
They sneaked to the northwest waters of the Hawaiian Islands.
And at 3:50 in the morning, more than 350 aircraft loaded with weapons and equipment were dispatched.
There was a two-hour intensive bombing of various American warships at Pearl Harbor.
The American Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses in this attack.
More than a dozen surface ships were destroyed, including eight large battleships.
In terms of air power, nearly two hundred aircraft were destroyed by the Japanese air force.
There are more than 150 damaged aircraft, and it is unknown how long it will take to repair them all.
(At this time, the Japanese headquarters did not have a clear understanding of America's industrial capacity and war mobilization capabilities.)
There were also heavy casualties in terms of personnel, with more than 2,400 officers and soldiers killed and thousands more injured.
However, in the shameless sneak attack by the Japanese army, Pearl Island was not without its bright spots.
The highlight of this anti-Japanese island attack actually came from Congressman Williams.
When he came back from the bar, he received a sealed letter from the pilot of the Mustang fighter.
The six pilots he brought to Pearl Harbor were all test pilots of the P51 Mustang fighter.
Three of the test pilots were Chinese with yellow skin from the East.
When they first arrived in New York, they told Williams that they were sent by Commander Song.
They were airmen from the 1st Division of the Gannan Air Force and had all participated in air battles with the Japanese.
They had extensive experience in air combat and could fly Mustang fighters and engage in dogfights with the Japanese Zero without losing the upper hand.
Williams also had absolute trust in Song Wenwan.
He got three test pilot jobs for the three of them from the aircraft manufacturer.
Because the owner of the aircraft manufacturer is a fan of Williams.
The ready-made blueprints of the Mustang fighter were also secretly provided to him by Williams.
Since he is my idol, I can save money and make money at the same time.
The three test pilots from the Eastern power had excellent flying skills, so the task was accomplished.
Williams heard what Commander Song meant, and he actually wanted him to be alert at night in Pearl Harbor.
After hearing this message, Williams couldn't sleep and kept wondering what Song Wenwan meant.
By six o'clock in the morning, it was already dawn.
He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by the Chinese airman who brought the news.
"Mr. William, get up quickly if something happens."
Williams asked lazily, "It's Lao Du, what happened that made you so flustered?"
Lao Du: "Hold on with your clothes and follow me."
After Lao Du finished speaking, he stuffed the clothes into Williams' arms.
They carried him up and went to the underground bunker of the hotel.
The hotel they stayed in was next to the army base.
These are all places to stay for the families of American soldiers who come to visit.
Don’t ask why this ordinary hotel has an underground bunker. The reason is that the owner of this hotel is surnamed Song.
Inside the underground bunker, the six test pilots were already fully dressed.
Williams: "Old Du, what's going on? Why did you bring us here?"
Lao Du: “Mr. William, a large number of Japanese fighter planes just flew in.
They are flying over the port and bombing the ships there."
At this time, two fighter observers and a reporter from the U.S. Department of Defense also came to the bunker to avoid the bombing.
He said frustratedly: “Mr. Williams, this Mr. Du is right, the damn war is coming.
Oh my God, these little Japanese dwarfs are raised by a bunch of bastards.
They actually launched an undeclared war against our powerful America.
Maybe we were in the wrong place at the wrong time..."
Williams, who was feeling depressed, suddenly found that Lao Du was looking at him with strange eyes.
At this moment, Williams was struck by lightning. He realized why Commander Song asked Lao Du to come to America.
Williams: “Mr. Smith, what you are saying is that we are in the right place at the right time.
It is God who brings us here to participate in a battle to defend America and defend democracy and freedom.
We should not stay here and hide, we still have six P51 fighters, we have to join this battle too."
Lao Du walked up and grabbed Phillips' hands.
“Mr. Phillips, you are truly the bravest man on God’s side.
In the face of the Japanese aggression against the American people, we can hand over our P51 Mustang fighter jets.
Let us go to the sky and strangle those dwarfs from Japan.
And Mr. Phillips, your place should be in the headquarters.
There he commanded the American boys and encouraged them to beat up the Japanese dwarfs.
The Japanese soldiers must be beaten until their faces are bruised and swollen, and their mothers must not be able to recognize them!
Now, the ace pilot Mike Du from China's Gannan War Zone has applied to go to the battle."
Williams glanced at the reporter and saw that he had already recorded the entire conversation.
He immediately shouted excitedly: "That's right, let's go to the base now and drive our Mustang.
We are going to beat those little dwarfs from the Japanese islands so badly that even their mothers won’t be able to recognize them.
Maikedu, I now approve your participation in the battle."
Several people arrived at the army base, where the gate was in chaos.
They knew Williams and the people in the Ministry of Defense, so Deng and his team quickly found a plane and flew into the blue sky.
Williams: “Mr. Martin, you must remember what happened today.
We are Chinese friends from the East, who are here to protect American democracy and freedom.
They flew their fighter jets without hesitation to fight the evil that invaded the United States."
At this moment, Williams felt that he could finally have a satisfactory explanation with Mr. Song.
Observers from the Ministry of Defense, and the base commander.
Looking at the six Mustang fighter jets soaring into the sky, their evaluation of Mr. Williams rose to a higher level.
Today, the two observers from the Ministry of Defense made a good deal.
The commander of the army base was worried about the people in the Ministry of Defense.
He came in the morning to prepare breakfast for them and worked overtime.
As a result, he encountered a sneak attack by the Japanese navy, so he could be considered to have made a profit this time.
Because of Williams' bold words in front, Lao Du and his six Mustangs took off behind him.
Those of them who showed up at the base today probably have no choice but to get promoted.
Even the colonel commander of the army base was thinking about it.
His rank of brigadier general, that shining star, was waving at him.
