Within ten minutes of the warning, the USS Nevada tried to escape from Pearl Harbor, but was hit by a torpedo and had to run aground on the beach.
The USS Arizona's ammunition depot exploded and sank to the bottom of the sea within nine minutes, taking 80 percent of the Navy's sailors with it.
Yu Sheng frantically recorded these images with the camera in his hand.
These images will be unique in later generations.
Although it was too close to Pearl Harbor, stray bullets would fly past it from time to time, but when it concentrated on the rest of its life, it automatically ignored these dangers.
Not everyone has the opportunity to witness and record the turning of the wheel of history.
Besides, when we were in Shanghai, we had to fight with the Japanese a lot.
On December 7, 1941, at 8:54, the second wave of Japanese attacks began.
Fifty-four bombers and seventy-eight dive bombers dropped various bombs on the American military ports.
Some American planes took off in a hurry to meet the enemy, but they were no match for the Japanese Zero fighters.
Thirty-six Zero fighter jets placed air superiority firmly in the hands of the Japanese.
This bombing continued until 9:45 a.m. and then gradually subsided.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the first wave of bombers flew back to the Japanese fleet.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, the Japanese fleet commander Lieutenant General Nagumo ordered the fleet to return, and the Japanese bombing and attack on Pearl Harbor was considered over.
In this battle, the Japanese dispatched six aircraft carriers, 423 aircraft, two battleships, three cruisers, nine destroyers and 30 submarines.
Only twenty-nine aircraft and fifty-five pilots were lost, as well as a few midget submarines.
Twelve U.S. battleships were sunk or damaged, and 343 U.S. aircraft were destroyed or damaged.
Killed 2,403 Americans.
Judging from the data alone, the results can be considered brilliant.
However, the strategic goal was not achieved.
None of the three American aircraft carriers was parked in Pearl Harbor.
The 4.5 million tons of heavy oil stored on a mountain five miles outside Pearl Harbor was not blown up.
Therefore, the Japanese bombing was not considered a success.
When Yu Sheng discovered that there were fewer and fewer Japanese planes, he picked up a camera and rushed to Pearl Harbor.
At this time, Pearl Harbor was filled with wailing and fire.
Countless people were injured.
The rest of my life is not hard-hearted.
I can only put down the camera, and together with the uninjured American soldiers, provide simple first aid to the injured, and then carry the injured to the hospital together.
It’s not that I don’t want to use a stretcher for the rest of my life.
It’s just that I can’t find it at this time.
There are too many people injured and these things are simply not enough.
However, since Yu Sheng was seriously injured and weak back then, he still had the strength to carry Catres.
So when the martial arts is in good condition, it still makes sense to carry two more people.
Therefore, for others, two people carry one, or one person carries one.
But for the rest of my life, I have to carry one on my shoulders.
Among them was an American soldier who had a roast pig dinner together on Waikiki Beach a few days ago.
The hospital is not too close to the port.
For the rest of my life, I would feel sweaty even if I carried two people who weighed more than 300 kilograms in total all the way to the hospital.
At this time, Qing Xiaoyi was seen in the hospital.
Qing Xiaoyi originally slept in a Polynesian village with several blond American nurses.
Early in the morning, they heard the explosion outside, and several women got up one after another.
Then, it was decided that something was terribly wrong.
Several people hurried back.
Qing Xiaoyi couldn't help but sit back and watch, so she came back with them.
Fortunately, when they returned, the Japanese attack had begun to weaken.

A large number of wounded people arrived at the hospital, and Qing Xiaoyi immediately helped the few nurses she knew to take care of the wounded people.
Although she has never studied medical care, she has managed dozens of children.
Therefore, classifying and arranging such things as a whole is extremely skillful.
With the help of Qing Xiaoyi, several American nurses can treat the wounded much faster than before.
After the Japanese attack was basically over, at 11:15, the Governor of Hawaii announced on the radio that Hawaii had entered a state of martial law.
After the news reached the United States, at 12:40, the Governor of Hawaii and the President of the United States jointly agreed to introduce jus in bello in Hawaii.
At 4:25 in the afternoon, the Governor of Hawaii officially signed the laws of war.
At this time, all walks of life in the United States were fully aware of the news that Pearl Harbor had been attacked and the U.S.
Navy suffered heavy losses.
For a time, the whole country was in an uproar, and the public was excited.
The Japanese declaration of war, which was submitted an hour late, made the Americans even more angry.
Roosevelt declared it a despicable sneak attack.
At the same time, December 7th will be designated as the day of national humiliation in the United States.
Subsequently, war was declared on Japan.
Following the United States, more than 20 countries, including Australia and the Netherlands, also declared war on Japan.
The most bizarre thing is that the Chinese, who had been fighting the Japanese for more than four years, actually declared war on Japan, which actually occupied half of China, four years later.
Such a declaration of war would really make the descendants of Yan and Huang lose face.
The United States is a country because most of its main population and pioneers are from Europe, European immigrants.
Therefore, although its ideological culture claims to accommodate the advantages of various cultures, in fact, it still relies on modern European thought as its main cultural foundation.
It emphasizes freedom and equality that have been advocated since modern times, and even the system is troublesome with the separation of powers.
Therefore, in later Hollywood blockbusters, every American superhero who saves the earth from aliens will advertise that he does not want to be ruled by aliens.
The slogans were shouted in a natural and condescending manner.
The reason why American blockbusters are so popular is because this slogan is actually deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the United States.
Everyone doesn't want anyone to take care of them.
However, if everyone has an idea, then the most likely situation is that it is difficult to reach consensus.
Some agreements will be delayed and negotiated for a long time before they are reached.
The efficiency is really not high.
But if there's one thing that makes all Americans unhappy.
All agreed.
Then, the knowledge and production capabilities accumulated since modern times will explode in collaboration, which is amazing.
As Isoroku Yamamoto said, the attack on Pearl Harbor awakened a giant.
Before the war, as Roosevelt said in the movie Pearl Harbor: "Others are making bombs, and we are making refrigerators."
However, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the production of refrigerators was temporarily put on hold, and the huge American industry The system began to support military production.
All the battleships damaged in Pearl Harbor were designed, refitted, and repaired at an incredible speed.
The USS California and USS West Virginia, which were bombed and sunk, were also salvaged and rejoined the war:
