Chapter 88 The Battle of Pearl Harbor

Louis stood on the deck, staring at the busy sailors around him in a daze.

"I'm thinking about the long-legged girl you met in Los Angeles? You're going to Los Angeles the same as before this long holiday?" Diggins didn't know when he came to Louis' side, and in one sentence dragged Louis in a daze back to reality: "I remember she is still an athlete? What's her name?"

"Esther." Louis just looked like he was in a daze, and he was not thinking about a long-legged girl.

"Yes, Esther...when will he hold a wedding?" Diggins continued to tease Louis. After all, the days on the aircraft carrier were so boring, and the ones they could talk about were work, family and women.

"There won't be a wedding, I can't give her what she wants." Louis couldn't stay in this world, and at this time, he probably won't have the chance to meet the long-legged girl again.

"Oh, you can't do it if you're so young."

"Fake Squids, Diggins!"

"Hahaha!"

While the two were chatting casually, the deck of the Enterprise was gradually cleared, and the fearless dive bomber hovering in the air was ready to land.

"What is that guy doing?" Diggins soon noticed that the Fearless flap in the air did not open, and soon the propeller stopped turning: "Is there something wrong with the plane?"

"..." Louis saw this state and remembered that the person in the sky was Dick Best, and immediately knew that this guy was starting again.

Without opening his mouth, he stood here to admire Dick Best's performance, watching him descending while losing power, the plane parked steadily on the deck of the Enterprise, and then walked over with Dickins.

"You're going to have trouble again."

"I didn't do anything. There was something wrong with the electronic circuit. Anyone could encounter such things." Dick didn't care. He often did this kind of thing. At this time, he noticed that the elevator was lifting Dickins and Louis's planes to the deck: "What are you going to do?"

"Lt. General Halsey asked Lieutenant Colonel Yang to lead a group of fearless reconnaissance on the return route." Lieutenant Colonel Howard Yang is currently the commander of the Flight Wing of the Enterprise. This reconnaissance operation was personally the commander of Lieutenant Colonel Yang: "We will land directly at Pearl Harbor."

It sounds like a routine investigation, and the selected pilots and the radios (machine gunners) in their back seats were treated to return to Pearl Harbor early to start their holiday.

The Enterprise account has just completed a "delivery" task. According to the plan, it should return to Pearl Harbor on December 6 to rest. However, the bad weather was delayed on the return journey, so it would take one day later to return to Pearl Harbor.

At this time, everyone on the boat was thinking about the next long holiday, so Diggins asked Louis if he was going to Los Angeles. After all, Louis and the girl named Esther were very close. Louis spent several long holidays in Los Angeles.

However, Louis was thinking about another thing: this day finally came!

"Why didn't I go to this investigation?" Dick didn't notice Louis' abnormality, or Louis hid his true thoughts very well, and would not be noticed by ordinary people: "Do you think my investigation skills are not good enough?"

"Maybe I think you've done too much like this, so I punish you for taking a holiday later." Diggins held Louis' shoulder beside him: "Only pilots with excellent skills and good performance like us can get the reward for taking a holiday early."

After saying that, he stopped talking to the two of them and turned around to make preparations before the flight.

This time, Lieutenant Colonel Howard Young personally led the team. His back seat was an adjutant of Lieutenant General Halsey, the commander of the Eighth Special Mixed Fleet, and would lead eighteen fearless bombers back to the Pearl Harbor base in advance.

Eighteen fearless planes were launched one after another, and Louis flew in the formation in a plane. He was glad that Lieutenant General Halsey asked the fleet to enter combat before this "delivery" mission, which means that all fighter planes are equipped with live ammunition, rather than the training ammunition that is more commonly used in normal times.

"Lieutenant, after landing at Pearl Harbor, are you going to go back to Los Angeles immediately?" Bill in the back seat suddenly asked this, which made Louis a little unresponsive.

"What?"

"I heard you spend your long holidays in Los Angeles." Bill said the reason for this question: "I'm considering going home to go to Los Angeles."

"So that's the case. It's better to call a few more friends, but it's not interesting to say anything to you." The Navy has been holding it on the boat for a long time, and after getting off the boat, they will find a place to play. Moreover, their salary and benefits are good, and they don't have the habit of saving money. Los Angeles is indeed a good place for them.

Eighteen fearless bombers took off from the Enterprise at 6 a.m., and if they were successful, they would arrive at the Pearl Harbor base at around 8 a.m.

However, when they saw Pearl Harbor in the distance, everyone was confused.

"What's going on?"

The anti-aircraft shells and many planes that kept exploding in the distance made Lieutenant Colonel Yang a little confused: "Are those guys in the Marine Corps so diligent? They were training early in the morning?"

Lieutenant Colonel Yang didn't think much. At this time, Louis passed the radio and said that he found the plane was approaching his own formation quickly, and it looked like a Japanese fighter.

"Japanese fighter? Lieutenant Hunter, are you sure you're not dazzled?"

"I'm pretty sure I read it right, I'm very confident in my vision." Louis was not the target of discovering with his eyes, but as both sides approached quickly, his "outstanding" vision allowed him to see the details of the two planes clearly.

Coupled with the outstanding performance over the past year, everyone on the Enterprise knows that Lieutenant Louis Hunter has two hawkeye eyes, while Lieutenant Colonel Howard Young is in trouble and does not know whether he should believe Louis's words.

This is Pearl Harbor! How could Japanese fighter planes appear here? Are the Japanese crazy?

However, he still gave an instruction: "Hunt, Diggins, you go over and confirm the other party's identity and allow the fire to be opened directly."

"Received, sir."

The discovery that the enemy plane allowed to fire directly was an order issued by Lieutenant General Halsey. If it was really a Japanese plane, it would appear in Pearl Harbor, which would already represent a lot of things. I would like to ask for instructions at this time, and I will shoot it first.

"Sit down, Bill, we may have to land at Pearl Harbor later." Although he was driving a dive bomber and facing the famous Zero fighter jets during World War II, Louis was not panicked at all. He felt relieved than Bill Miller, who was lying like a lump in the back seat.

After training and studying for two and a half years, serving on the Enterprise for more than a year, more than three years and nearly four years, it was this moment. After adjusting the direction, Louis set a tactic with Diggins on the radio: "I'll go and see first, keep some distance between you and me. If you make sure it's an enemy plane, I'll serve as the bait. You can find an opportunity to kill those two planes."

"No problem, be careful!"

It was not just the two of them who left the formation, but they also had two wingmen.

Louis's wingman pilot was John Vogt. The two kept rushing straight towards the two planes in the distance, while Diggins and his wingman gradually distanced themselves from Louis and observed the situation a little further away.

The distance between the two sides continued to get closer, and at this time Diggins also determined the situation of the plane opposite through the telescope: "Farke, it is a Japanese fighter! Louis, avoid it quickly!"

When Diggins reminded, the Zero fighter jet in the distance had already opened fire. Louis, who had predicted the opponent's actions, calmly avoided all the bullets. The Zero fighter jet's scattered machine cannon bullets and the worrying machine guns could not pose a threat to him. At most, Bill and the wingman behind him were shocked.

"Be careful and be careful about enemy plane attacks."

Lieutenant Colonel Yang saw the Zero fighter shooting and Louis' dodge. He drove the plane and cursed: "Shet, it's really an enemy!" After that, he immediately reported the situation to the Enterprise and commanded all the fearless dive bombers to meet the enemy.

The battle officially began. Louis was flying the plane and the Zero fighter directly missed it. The Zero fighter's excellent hovering ability allowed them to complete the direction adjustment faster, and they quickly bite Louis' fighter and wanted to kill Louis's plane down.

"Second lieutenant, they're right behind!"

"I know, Bill, don't panic, sit firmly!" Louis had already used Force Sensing before discovering the Zero fighter.

The years of practice in this world have not been in vain. He feels that he can clearly sense all the situations around him, and even predict the actions taken by the two aircraft behind him to a certain extent, including the flight trajectories of the bullets fired by the two Zero fighter jets.

Just like using a cheater to turn on, Louis can make maneuvering actions several seconds in advance to avoid bullets that may hit him. In the eyes of others, Louis fully demonstrated his flying skills, performed various snakeskin movements, and then cleverly avoided all attacks from enemy planes.

"Stand up, I'm here!"

Louis's flight skills are not only amazing, but also have a considerable sarcastic effect: no matter who sees the other person's plane swaying in front of you, the bullets you fire will almost hit the other person, and will be stimulated to the top.

Before he knew it, the two Zero fighters were pulled into the trap by Louis. The two Zero fighters who had already adjusted their direction and had also obtained a certain dive angle were obtained. They saw the opportunity to launch an attack from above the Zero fighter and successfully destroyed a Zero fighter.

Just as a Zero fighter exploded, Louis suddenly made a drum maneuver and suddenly slowed down to a nearly stalled state. He put another Zero fighter that had not reacted and completed a series of actions such as adjustments, shooting and re-speeding as soon as the opponent overtook, successfully destroying the Zero fighter.

At this time, Bill, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't even realize what had happened just now, and saw the plane explode.
