This is also the reason why the Qing Dynasty used aircraft carrier-based aircraft for the first time to launch an attack on an enemy's port. It was not experienced enough, and it was unexpected that Citi's naval defenses were such a place that could make bombers drop bombs relatively easily.

Therefore, the connection is not so perfect. The first wave and the second wave are a bit tight, and the third wave is a bit late. There is no feeling of combining punches one after another.

But this did not affect the result. At this time, Citigroup and cruisers were almost completely sunk, and there were only three battleships left. About a dozen warships all hid in the dock of the shipyard.

And the second wave of attack aircraft had to leave. They had thrown out all the ammunition, at most, only machine guns and machine guns were left. With these alone, it would be difficult to cause too much damage to the warships and other personnel structures that were hiding. It's a big blow.

Citizens saw that after the Qing’s plane left the port, no new waves of attack arrived, so under the command of the officers, they ran out to clean up the mess. The entire Citi Sea fleet suffered heavy losses. There were too many people in need of help. Too many firepower points need to be repaired, and the broken port also needs people...

However, destiny seemed to be playing with them. Half an hour after the second wave of attack disappeared, when they thought that the Qing people could no longer come, the third wave of attack aircraft had arrived.

And this time their target is the dock, the key coastal defense gun positions, and the dense crowds...

When the third wave of attack aircraft left, the entire military port was completely unrecognizable. There were burning buildings everywhere, ship wrecks that had sunk, and occasionally a few warships escaped because of their chosen locations, but there are no more here. The repair shop can repair them.All auxiliary equipment has been turned into ruins in a sea of ​​fire.

The main force of the Citigroup Marine Fleet no longer exists, and Pearl Harbor cannot provide them with any shelter...

When Admiral Kimmel received the battle damage report, he couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. Although he knew that his fleet would suffer a great loss, he would even be defeated. After all, the Qing Air Force’s attack was also in his eyes. By the third round, he had to make a safe transfer.

But in the end there was only one battleship left in the harbor. The results of the five destroyers and cruisers were difficult for him to accept. Moreover, each of these battleships was wounded, and it was impossible to continue participating in the battle, and even repairs were impossible.

On the contrary, many submarine mechanisms dived underwater to escape.

Some of the remaining commanders have already taken refuge in the underground headquarters. At this time, they have nothing to do, and almost no one speaks at the emergency meeting. They know that the outcome of this battle has been unchangeable, waiting for them. What will be his fate.163TXT www.txt163.com

"It's all over! I will draft the report myself."

Kimmel didn't expect them to make any comments, and glanced at the commanders and staff who bowed their heads and said in a blank expression.

These people secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up and left. They knew that Admiral Kimmel had taken all the responsibilities.

Naturally, someone should take responsibility for defeat. These people survived by chance and don't want to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

At this time, Kimmel is ready to go to a military court. Fortunately, Citi does not have the death penalty. As for the secret execution, it should not be possible.

Compared to the end of the second half of his life, he is more distressed that his own maritime fleet was buried, and Citigroup, who lost control of the sea, will be passive everywhere, and it may even directly affect the outcome of the last two countries because of this matter.

He wrote a detailed report of the attack, did not avoid too much, and also put forward many opinions.

For example, and Fang’s investigation of loopholes, the issue of early warning mechanism, the issue of firepower deployment, and the role of aircraft carriers in naval battles. This time, the Qing Dynasty did not even touch a battle line. The aircraft carrier fleet alone has already moved their seas. The fleet was almost completely destroyed, and they did not even touch the shadow of the Qing aircraft carrier.

Although there is a sneak attack factor, he also understands that even in a real decisive battle, they will undoubtedly be defeated with battleships as their main force. The difference is that the loss of Qing Dynasty will be much larger.

But at this time he also understands that some of his suggestions will not necessarily be adopted. After all, this is Citi's previous strategy. Denying him is equivalent to denying the previous plan of the entire Navy.

Moreover, the maritime fleet was almost completely lost at this time. For a long time, Citigroup was unable to obtain sea dominance, and even had no chance to compete with the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, with Citi’s strong industrial capabilities, they will eventually build a fleet or even a large-scale aircraft carrier formation.

However, when the first opportunity is lost, it is undoubtedly very difficult to compete with the Qing's navy for sea dominance, and it is because the Qing's economic and military strength is above them.

His telegram and Daqing’s battle report reached their respective senior executives almost at the same time. The information in it was similar, but the content and mood for the people were completely different... ..
