A 500-kilogram heavy high-explosive bomb landed less than thirty meters away from the Fengxiang aircraft carrier. The waves caused by the explosion of the bomb were tens of meters high, and the sea water splashed onto the bridge. The huge shock wave swept
The 7,000-ton Hosho was swaying under the impact, and Takasu Shiro, who was standing in the command room, almost fell to the ground.
"Commander, be careful!" Colonel Qiu Yongshou quickly supported him.
Taka Asahi Shiro looked at the dive bombers swarming in the sky, gritted his teeth and said: "Baga, order all units to ignore those fighters and focus on those bombers. They are our life and death enemies."
Qiu Yongshouyi hesitated and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, those fighter jets are too hateful. They specialize in shooting our unprotected gunners. If we don't eliminate them first, our casualties will be too great."
Takasu Shiro became angry: "Baga, those fighter planes only shot our gunners, but those bombers wanted our lives. Don't you even understand this?"
"Hai!"
Qiu Yongshouyi did not dare to disobey, so he had to convey the new order obediently.
"Quickly...kill them!"
At this time, the personnel on the aircraft carriers Fengxiang and Zuifeng were very nervous. Judging from the current air raid situation, the Chinese people's key targets are these two aircraft carriers and the two battleships, so they are also on these battleships.
The most nervous people.
What's worse is that the aircraft carrier itself is not a combat ship, and the self-defense weapons it carries are extremely limited. For example, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier only has eight anti-aircraft guns on the ship, and it often ignores its head, so Stukas keep bombing them.
We still came down. Fortunately, Captain Qiu Yongshou was very capable and commanded the aircraft carrier to turn left and right. Unfortunately, the aircraft carrier was not hit by a bullet.
But the aircraft carrier Zuiho next to him did not have such luck. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of six Stukas, it quickly suffered a 300-kilogram high-explosive bomb. It carried a huge bomb from high altitude.
The high-explosive bomb carried by the kinetic energy penetrated its deck and fell into the hangar at the nose of the aircraft. It took dozens of seconds before it exploded in the hangar, setting the entire hangar on fire.
The raging fire ignited the entire hangar, and even burned more than a dozen carrier-based bombers parked in the hangar. There was a lot of fuel accumulated in the more than a dozen aircraft, and thousands of gallons of high-grade gasoline burned together.
The entire hangar was burned into a boiler, and dozens of Japanese sailors in the hangar were burned alive inside. Then another explosion occurred in the hangar, and everyone spread to the ammunition depot next to it. If the ammunition depot was also ignited, the consequences would be
Unthinkable.
"Fight the fire... put out the fire quickly! We must put out everyone!"
Seeing such a scene, Captain Takada Rokuro, the captain of the Zuikang aircraft carrier, turned green, and quickly ordered the damage control team to put out the fire at all costs. And the damage control team was also very capable. More than a hundred damage control teams carrying various
Flamethrowers and water pipes rushed into the hangar, and the fire was finally brought under control at the cost of more than thirty casualties.
But as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Just when the Zuiho had just brought the fire under control, misfortune befell them again. A Stuka roared like divers and rushed towards them, and a huge bomb
It detached from its belly and plummeted toward the Zuifeng aircraft carrier.
Seeing the huge bomb falling, Rokuro Takada showed a look of despair on his face. He shouted "No!" in a stern voice.
Following Rokuro Takada's shout, the 500-kilogram high-explosive bomb landed on the tail of the aircraft carrier and penetrated underneath with strong kinetic energy. Then there was a huge explosion. The tail of the Zuiho aircraft carrier immediately exploded.
Thick smoke came out, and the entire aircraft carrier immediately and slowly stopped.
The violent explosion caused strong vibrations, and also knocked Rokuro Takada to the ground. A staff officer stumbled to Rokuro Takada's front door and shouted loudly: "Report to your Excellency, Captain. We... my stern rudder
It was damaged by the bombing, and now the aircraft carrier has stopped moving forward. Moreover, a large amount of sea water has poured in through the cracks, and the damage control team has no time to drain the water."
"Ring ring ring..."
A phone rang, and a staff officer came over after answering the phone and reported: "Your Excellency, Captain, Major Qiu Feng from the damage control team has come to report that the group at the rear is too fierce and has now spread to the boiler room. Due to the intensity of the fire,
It's too big, they can only control the fire for twenty minutes at most, please make a decision quickly!"
Rokuro Takada felt his vision go dark, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his subordinates on the side quickly supported him.
After waking up, Rokuro Takada sighed in shock: "Okay, let the soldiers put down the lifeboats and abandon the ship quickly. This ship cannot be saved!"
The staff officers next to him all looked at Rokuro Takada with ashen faces, "Your Excellency, Captain!"
"Listen to me!" Takada Rokuro waved his hand and said: "Now that the Zuiho is no longer viable, everyone should stop holding on to the idea that the ship and people are still there. We are not an army, and we don't have so much dogmatism. We should abandon it.
You should abandon ship when you are sailing, even if it is to save more seeds for the empire."
"What about you?"
"Me?" Takada Rokuro smiled bitterly: "I am the captain of the Hosho. I have my responsibilities. Naturally, I have to be with the Hosho. You guys should withdraw first!"
The surrounding subordinates couldn't help but mourned greatly, and shouted in unison: "Your Excellency, Captain!"
Rokuro Takada's face darkened: "Execute the order!"
"Hai!"
Under the forcible order of Takada Rokuro, the Zuiho began to evacuate. At the same time, Takasu Shiro on the Hosho also received Takada Rokuro's report. He couldn't help but feel hateful and angry in his heart, but he saw that the sky still did not decrease.
He first ordered the surrounding warships to abandon the Zuiho sailors, and then had to issue an order to retreat at full speed.
Naturally, the movements of the Japanese army could not be hidden from Liang Tiancheng, who was circling in the sky and commanding. After seeing the Japanese ships turning around one after another, he connected to Huang Zikang's channel and said: "Captain Huang, the Japanese are trying to escape! You have to hurry up!"
Huang Zikang's voice came from the headset: "Don't worry, Chief Liang. No matter how fast the Japanese are, they can't outrun our plane. Don't worry, I will let them know that from now on we are not here for them."
Wherever you go, you always have to pay a price!"
After Huang Zikang finished speaking, he switched the radio to the team's channel: "Team 5, one of the Japanese aircraft carriers has been killed, and now it's their battleship's turn! Now while the Japanese are still being killed by our other teams,
Attracted, everyone come with me, let’s sneak up on him and catch him off guard!”
After speaking, Huang Zikang swung his fuselage, and the Stuka dive bomber he sat down turned over, lowered its height, and sneaked towards the two battleships below that were firing fiercely into the sky.
The news that the aircraft carrier Zuiho was forced to abandon the ship soon spread throughout the fleet, and many Japanese commanders were heartbroken and deepened their hatred. At this time, all the sailors on the Ise battleship were busy
Shooting at several Stuka dive bombers that were circling around them in the sky, ten 25mm anti-aircraft guns and eight 127mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were firing continuously into the sky, barrage after barrage.
It exploded in the sky, forming a series of metal barriers. It was relying on them to ensure that the Ise did not suffer any damage in more than half an hour just now, and shot down three Stuka bombers.
While the battle on the Ise was in full swing, a loader who was loading ammunition pointed to the rear in horror and shouted: "Pay attention to the back, another Chinese fighter plane is coming!"
A major next to him saw that less than 500 meters behind him, seven Stuka fighter planes were swooping down from a low altitude of 200 meters. Because the distance was too close, he had already seen the opponent's wings flashing.
Cold light aerial bomb.
He immediately pointed his command knife to the rear and shouted: "Turn the muzzle and shoot to the rear!"
"shooting!"
At this time, many people on the Ise saw the seven Stukas lurking from behind, and they all turned their guns and shot towards the rear, but it was already too late. The distance of 500 meters was too far for the aircraft.
It was fleeting. Just as the Japanese troops were adjusting their firepower, Huang Zikang had already taken the lead and rushed to the head of the Ise and dropped a 1,000 kilogram aerial bomb.
This super-heavy aerial bomb weighing one ton was very large. When it fell off from the belly of the aircraft, Huang Zikang clearly felt that the Stuka he was sitting on had become a lot lighter in an instant. He did not dare to neglect it.
, quickly pulled the joystick, pushed the throttle to the bottom, turned the Stuka in a difficult direction and rushed towards the sky.
In the horrified eyes of countless Japanese officers and soldiers, time seemed to have frozen, and they saw the bomb slowly but surely falling into the middle of the battleship Ise.
"Bang!"
A heavy steel collision sound reached the ears of all the sailors of the Ise, followed by another pinging sound. It was the sound of the aerial bomb penetrating the deck and contacting other objects in the ship.
It kept ringing for seven or eight seconds before it stopped.
The captain of the Ise, Suga Hikojiro, suddenly turned very pale. He grabbed the armrest next to him tightly and closed his eyes tightly...
"boom……"
An earth-shaking loud noise sounded from the Ise. The explosion was so violent that even the battleship, which weighed more than 30,000 tons, bounced off the bottom of the sea as if it had been kicked by a giant.
He fell heavily on the sea.
When the Ise landed on the sea, countless flames and thick smoke emerged from the middle of the bombed battleship. The entire battleship made a tooth-breaking gurgling sound. Hundreds of sailors who were originally busy on the deck
They were shaken by the strong vibration.
But the nightmare of the Ise was not over, because behind it, there were six other Stukas flying towards it...
