夏威夷群岛位于北太平洋，东距美国西海岸约3800千米，西距日本约6000千米，距菲律宾约7000千米，战略地位十分重要，素有“太平洋心脏”之称。夏威夷群岛的主岛是瓦胡岛，珍珠港就位于瓦胡岛南部科劳山脉和怀特奈山脉之间的最低处，因盛产有珍珠的牡蛎而得名，是个天然良港，整个海湾形同伸向内陆的鸡爪，只有通过330米宽的狭窄水道与太平洋相通。港区水域面积约25平方千米，平均水深12米，港湾内的怀皮奥半岛、珍珠城半岛和福特岛将珍珠港分为四个小港湾，可同时停泊各种舰艇500艘。美国于1909年开始基地建设，陆续建成了设备齐全的大型造船厂、干船坞、码头、油库等设施，1919年和1922年相继建立了潜艇基地和航空基地。1933年起为了遏止日本的扩张，美国进一步加大建设，使之成为美国在太平洋上主要海军基地和重要后勤基地。自1940年5月起，美国太平洋舰队常驻珍珠港，珍珠港更是成为日军南进的眼中钉肉中刺。

After the US Pacific Fleet was stationed in Pearl Harbor, it began to strengthen its defense in the Hawaii area. The US Army established the Hawaiian Guard Command in 1941 2, by Walter. Lieutenant General Schott, the commander, unified command of the 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions and Coastal Artillery, Army Aviation and other units in the Hawaii area, totaling about 10,000 people.

太平洋舰队司令为金梅尔海军上将，以珍珠港为母港的舰艇包括3艘航母、9艘战列舰、20艘巡洋舰、69艘驱逐舰和27艘潜艇在内的百余艘。

12月12日凌晨，停泊在珍珠港的军舰有8艘战列舰、8艘巡洋舰、29艘驱逐舰和5艘潜艇，加上其他舰艇和辅助舰艇共94艘。

当时在海上活动的美军舰艇约30艘，分为四个编队：哈尔西中将指挥“企业”号航母、3艘巡洋舰和9艘驱逐舰，11月28日从珍珠港出发，向威克岛运送战斗机，正在返回珍珠港途中。原本是计划在12月6日晚回到珍珠港的，由于种种原因在日军发起攻击时，还在瓦胡岛以西约370千米处，逃过一劫：“列克星敦”号航母、3艘巡洋舰和3艘驱逐舰，12月5日从珍珠港出发，向中途岛运送战斗机，此时在瓦胡岛以西约1300千米海域：“印第安纳波利斯”号重巡洋舰和5艘扫雷舰艇正在约翰斯顿岛附近进行演习：“明尼阿波利斯”号重巡洋舰和4艘扫雷舰艇已结束演习。正在返航途中，此时距离瓦胡岛仅46千米。此外太平洋舰队所属的“萨拉托加”号航母、“科罗拉多”号战列舰等军舰则在美国本土整修。

美军在夏威夷地区的航空力量由三部分组成，总共约350架飞机。其中的陆军航空兵部队，也就是通常所说的夏威夷空军，由费列德。Martin 陆军少将指挥，下辖第十八轰炸机联队和第十四驱逐机联队。分别以希凯姆机场和惠勒机场为主要基地，共有32架b―18轰炸机、12架b―17轰炸机、12架a―20轰炸机、99架p―40战斗机、39架p―36战斗机、14架p―26战斗机。

The Naval Air Force is mainly based at Knauhe Black and Ford Island Airport. There are 71 Pby “Katalinna” water anti-submarine patrol aircraft and 14 os2u “fish dog” ship-borne observation aircraft.

海军陆战队航空兵以伊瓦机场为基地，共有11架f4f“野猫”战斗机、24架sbd“无畏”鱼雷机和8架sb2u鱼雷机。

1941 year 4 month, Hawaii, US Army and Navy, after consultation, reached an air defense agreement, the long-range air warning is undertaken by the Navy. Close air defense is the responsibility of the Army.

Lieutenant General Schott believes that the destruction of the aircraft by Japanese and Japanese Americans in Hawaii will make the aircraft most likely to suffer losses, so he ordered the aircraft to be densely arranged on the taxiing curve between the runway and the tarmac to facilitate taking Security alert measures, but once an air strike is hit, as soon as a bomb explodes, it will quickly spread to all aircraft!

1942年12月12日凌晨四时，突击编队经十二天约6600千米的航程，顺利抵达珍珠港以北约420千米的预定展开海域。飞行员被唤醒，各自系好象征吉祥的千针带。留下附有头发或指甲的遗书，然后吃过早饭，在作战室里听取最后的简况介绍，等待出击命令。

At 5:30, the two cruisers “Ligan” and “Zhumo” flew off the 1 zero-type water reconnaissance plane and conducted pre-war reconnaissance on Pearl Harbor.

六时，第一攻击波的飞机开始起飞。此时起飞海域天气正在转坏。风浪很大，航母横摆超过十度，平时这样的海况起飞是会取消的，但现在起飞仅仅只是推迟了二十分钟。航母上所有不当值的官兵都挤在飞行甲板上挥舞着帽子、头巾欢呼着为突击机群壮行！从6艘航空母舰上共起飞183架。包括40架九七式鱼雷机，51架九九式俯冲轰炸机，49架九七式水平轰炸机，43架零式战斗机。鱼雷机各携一条800千克鱼雷，俯冲轰炸机各携一枚250千克爆破弹，水平轰炸机各携一枚800千克延时引信穿甲弹。十五分钟后，机群在舰队上空集合完毕，编成预定队形，以3000米高度向珍珠港飞去。空中总指挥兼水平轰炸机领队“赤城”号飞行长渊田美津雄中佐，鱼雷机领队是村田重治少佐，俯冲轰炸机领队是“翔鹤”号的高桥赫一少佐，战斗机领队是板谷茂少佐，所有飞机垂尾上均涂有三道黄色识别带。飞行途中，渊田为导航而收听檀香山的广播时，意外地收到他迫切需要的珍珠港天气预报，令他惊喜不已。

At 6:30, the US military’s 3 seaplane found a suspicious submarine during a routine patrol flight in the southern Oahu area. The pilot reported the password to the base, which delayed the time.

At 6:37, the US military’s “Ward” escort destroyer found a small submarine that was following the “Great Mars” towed ship attempting to pass the anti-submarine network. On duty officer William. Gopuna Lieutenant immediately reported to Captain William. Captain Otbridge, Captain Otbridge ordered the fire at 6.40, and at 6:45 the “Ward” No. 3 gun fired. The first shot missed and the second shot hit. The podium of the pocket submarine, this gun became the “first shot” in the Pacific War!

The Ward then rushed to the submarine’s dive at full speed to cast a string of deep-water bombs and sank them. ——This is the Iraqi 20 pocket submarine driven by the Japanese military Guangwei Zhang Shaohao and Katayama Masao. After the Ward crashed into the pocket submarine, it reported to the Divisional Command. 6:53. “Ward” issued a second report. Lieutenant Colonel Kaminski, the duty officer of the Divisional Command, was indifferent and asked for verification. Until 7:40, the division commander Claude. Major General Bullock received the report. He felt that the situation was serious and ordered the addition of the destroyer Monahan to support. At this time, it was only ten minutes from the beginning of the air raid. It was too late.

7:02. A mobile radar station at Kahku Point on the northern end of Oahu Island found a large number of aircraft flying towards Pearl Harbor, about 160 kilometers away. Radar Joseph. Locke and George. Elite immediately reported to the intelligence center, but the officer on duty, Kemit. Taylor Lieutenant thought it was a plane flying from California. He did not bother to comfort the radar. So the two radar soldiers watched as the Japanese plane flew closer and closer until the time of 7:39.

At 7:35, the Japanese military fleet flew to Oahu. Panoramic views of Pearl Harbor are visible, and the unique cage and three-legged masts of the US battleship are clearly visible.

At 7:40, the Japanese aircraft launched into an attack formation. In order to achieve the greatest results, the Japanese army has two sets of attack plans. One is the surprise attack plan. It is used when the US military is not on alert. It is attacked by a torpedo machine and then attacked by a bomber. The second is the storm attack program. It was adopted when the US military was ready. It was first attacked by a bomber to suppress and attract air defense firepower, and then attacked by a torpedo machine. In any case, the fighters must seize the favorable height to seize the air superiority. What kind of plan is adopted is determined by the air commander. It is stipulated that a signal flare is a surprise attack, and a second signal flare is a strong attack. Yuan Tian saw that the US military was unguarded and decided to adopt a surprise attack plan. A signal flare was fired. As the fighter was covered by the clouds and did not see the signal, Yuan Tian then fired a signal flare on the fighter. The fighter saw it and immediately climbed to seize the favorable height, but it made the long plane of the dive bomber mistaken to be the second signal flare. With the strong attack plan, it accelerated to fly to the airport.

At 7:49, Yuan Tian ordered all attacks! The rear seat communicator immediately issued an attack command: sudden! Sudden! Sudden!

At 7:53, Yuan Tian saw that the US military was unprepared, knowing that the attack was bound to succeed, and then waiting for the battle to start, they eagerly ordered the victory password: Torah! Torah! Torah! It means “Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!” Surprisingly, the electric waves emitted by the airborne radio stations of the 1997-type aircraft are not able to pass through the long Pacific Ocean, and are received by the “Dahe” battleship far beyond Wanli. To.

At 7:55, the dive bomber first made a large-angle dive bombing from the 4000 meter height to Hickam Airport, Wheeler Airport, and Ford Island Airport. At one time, the shrapnel flew across the airport, and the fire was shining and the smoke was everywhere. At this time, the torpedo plane just flew to the shipyard and saw the smoke rising from the airport. The leader of the team, Muramura, was shocked. He thought that the surprise plan should be attacked first by the torpedo machine. How did the bomber start? In order not to be covered by smoke, he immediately led the torpedo fleet to speed up the road and attacked the West Valley at 7:57. The 40 torpedo machine is divided into two batches. A batch of 16 frames attacked the anchored warships on the west side of Ford Island, and another batch of 24 racks focused on the battleships on the east side of Ford Island.

At 7:58, William, the commander of the US Army Breeze Fleet. Major General Fron first saw a plane diving and bombing. At first he thought it was the accident that the pilot accidentally touched the bombing button. After a closer look, the bright red sunburst emblem on the plane was in sight, and he realized that it was a Japanese air strike. Immediately ordered the warships in the port to evade the port. Almost at the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Rogan Rem succeeded in rushing into the Ford Island Command, commanding the control of Tara to sound an air raid warning, and announced in a verbal broadcast: “Pearl Harbor was attacked! This is not an exercise!” Subsequently, Commander of the US Pacific Fleet Admiral Kimmel ordered the use of radio to inform all units of the Pacific Fleet.

At the same time, the sporadic counterattacks of the US military began, and some high-altitude artillery on the US ship opened fire. The 33 artillery of the island’s army even fired only 4 fires. Most of the artillery shells were still in the ammunition depot, and it was too late to put into operation. The entire Pearl Harbor US Army has almost no organized resistance.

At 8:05, the Yuanda rate horizontal bomber passed through the west side of Oahu and entered the bombing route from the south. A group of five machines, compiled into a stand-up formation of 200 meters with a single machine spacing, at the 3000 meter height, bombing the battleships on the east side of Ford Island and the Iwa airport where the artillery firepower is concentrated.

The fighters who served as screens saw that there was no US plane to take off, and they were divided into 6 formations to fire at the 6 airport. (To be continued.
