At the moment when Canglong's life ended, her hull also let out a final mournful roar, and a large amount of sea water poured into the bottom of the ship, and the entire ship would be torn apart by the inertia of its own sinking at any time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The chief of staff of the Canglong immediately conveyed the order to abandon the ship on the radio, and as for how many people could escape, it depended on the blessing of heaven.

I don't know where to find a military flag, several staff officers worked together to wrap Canglong's body with the military flag, and fled from the bridge with the chief of staff.

At the same time, the Akagi was also shot, one of the two bombs hit the rudder, the navigation ability was basically lost, and the other hit the deck, and the carrier-based aircraft that were preparing to take off and the torpedo bombs scattered everywhere inevitably became the second domino. In just a few seconds, the front deck of Akagi exploded one after another, and not only the carrier-based aircraft and the pilots inside, but also many maintenance pilots and crews also died in the empire.

Akagi, who was already in poor physical condition, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and then he fell into a coma. Before the military doctor arrived, the Akagi was shot, which completely shook Nagumo Tadaichi's firm will, with the current Akagi, whether it can return to sea is a question, as for the carrier-based aircraft that did not explode? Half of the deck is burning, how to take off?

――――

"Report to the sir, two ships have been hit, Canglong and Akagi. The squadron is trying to break through Kaga's fighter interception. ”

"Very well, you are the heroes of the Federation!"

The dreadnought bomber squadron, which had been successfully acquired repeatedly, converged with the follow-up planes of the Castle and began to outflank Kaga. Kaga, who was in the middle of the mobile force, was like a dumpling filling, and the six Zero fighters she could control could not stop so many bombers at once.

"Akagi...... Akagi: She was shot! ”

Seeing the Akagi emitting its black smoke in the distance, Kaga didn't even try to control the fighter jet to make a final resistance. On the other side, she could already sense the death of Canglong, and the Canglong would soon sink.

"Impossible, we lost? Who will answer my questions? ”

As she turned to ask the staff officers, a bomb landed on the foredeck and one on the aft. The two violent explosions knocked many people in the command room to the ground.

Just as Kaga was trying to get up, three more bombs fell, two were missing, and one appeared in the eyes of everyone just as he grazed the bridge, and the officers, including Vice Captain Okada, couldn't believe what had happened.

"Protect Kaga-sama!"

I don't know which staff officer shouted, and the seven or eight staff officers who were close to Kaga rushed forward and protected Kaga, who was still lost. In front of the bridge was the aviation fuel dumping point, which was allowed to be used temporarily because there was no open space on the deck. No one expected that the bombs of the American Federation would fall directly in front of the bridge, and the only thing they could do was to keep Kaga alive as much as possible.

The explosion was more violent than all the previous explosions, and the bomb hit the fuel tank pile directly, and most of the bridge was reduced to ashes along with the Kaga flag. It was more serious than Soryu and Akagi, and there was hardly a single plank on the front deck of the Kaga that had not been eroded by the fire.

Batches of planes and pilots burned along with the fuel on deck, and the Kaga became a real hell on earth. This is the first time that the Kaga has been directly attacked.

At the same time as the bridge exploded, the entire ship's command system was lost, and even the officers who survived by luck could hardly organize the whole ship to participate in self-rescue.

"Everyone obeyed my orders, except for the power department, and all the uninjured immediately participated in extinguishing the fire! From now on, everything will be given priority by my Kaga orders! ”

Kaga's voice was heard through the ship's in-ship radio to every panicked crew, and order on the Kaga was maintained, and although the loss of personnel was increasing, at least it did not fall to the point of being leaderless. The command room was on the third floor of the bridge, and when she stepped out of the flames, she was surrounded by the wreckage of the bridge and the raging flames that burned her whole body.

Of course, she couldn't lift the microphone and use the radio like she used to, but now she can't use her unique abilities. All the carrier-based aircraft on the deck were destroyed, the fire in the hangar was spreading, and all she could use was the planes in the reserve hangar.

Another wave of carrier-based aircraft from the Yorktown appeared in her sight, and there were only 15 minutes left to fly away from the battered mobile unit.

At this time, Kaga could not find a single available fighter pilot, who either died on deck or inside the plane, and many pilots were also engaged in firefighting operations, even if they were to rush back to the reserve hangar.

The only people closest to the reserve hangar were some of the 8th Torpedo Squadron to which Saburo Sakai belonged. Because Saburo Sakai was dismissed by Kaga, he was temporarily imprisoned in a confinement room near the reserve hangar. He was accompanied by his comrades in the same team and waited for punishment.

Walking out of the rubble, dragging tattered clothes and a broken command bow, Kaga's appearance made the crew who rushed to search and rescue also burst out with 12 points of fighting spirit. After all, Kaga's voice was no more convincing than her standing in front of them alive.

But Kaga was the only one who came out, and the rest of the officers who were sitting on the bridge had all died heroically. Including the staff team that has accompanied Kaga's operations for more than 30 years, and the deputy captain Okada, who has done everything in his work, all of them are dead.

Half of Kaga's body was blurred with flesh and blood, and even her trademark one-sided ponytail was blown out, but she was still able to get out of the flames step by step.

"You don't have to worry about me, go put out the fire!"

Kaga endured the severe pain of the burns on his body, and instead of lying on a stretcher, he used the broken bow as a crutch to support his body.

"I'm Kaga, and I now give the order that everyone in the 8th Torpedo Squad rush to the reserve hangar at once. The enemy's carrier-based aircraft formation is approaching, and although you are not fighter pilots, I can only rely on you for now. ”

Kaga's order was passed to the confinement room alone, and the seven people inside did not devote themselves to the firefighting because they did not rest in the hangar with the first pilots, and they only knew that the Kaga had been hit by a bomb. It is very coincidental that this flying team became an official torpedo aircraft combat team after the Battle of Jiangyin, and when Kaga noticed the abnormality, it was these seven people who privately punished Saburo Sakai.

When the military officer inside heard this order, he immediately opened the door of the confinement room, and the seven of them, plus Saburo Sakai, went straight to the reserve hangar.

There were no rearmament pilots there, but the parked fighters were lined up at the hangar lift entrance, and in addition to the five Zero Type 52s, there were also three new fighters that were different from the Zero fighters, and the fighters were codenamed A7M1.

"The five Zeros are all under maintenance, and the three seventeenth test ships are experimental prototypes, all of which have potential safety hazards."

Kaga's explanation did not shake the confidence of the pilots, the enemy plane with bombs and torpedoes was already flying away, not to mention the maintenance aircraft and prototypes, even if the fighter without landing gear was placed in front of them, it would not flinch.

The eight-member Zhongjun Cao, Saburo Sakai and the deputy captain chose the prototype, after all, the maintenance machine is basically just a small problem, and the prototype is directly involved in the fierce air battle, and it is not surprising that it disintegrates.

Eight planes were driven out of the reserve hangar, but the deck outside the hangar door was not the thick planks that had been washed clean in the past, but the dead ground burning in the flames. Many of the wreckage of the planes were still burning in the fire, and the fuel tanks exploded from time to time.

With only a usable thirty-meter runway, it is simply impossible to raise an airplane.

"It's only three minutes, maybe even shorter, and you'll only have one chance. I'll do my best to help you drive. Are you ready? ”

A storm suddenly blew from the deck, and from the reserve hangar to the bow of the ship, only one plane's air passage appeared in front of the eight pilots. And while they exclaimed a miracle, Kaga endured the severe pain and crushed the bow handle in his hand. She herself destroyed a deck, which was tantamount to taking a chisel herself and scratching it from her forehead to her thigh.

The blood soaked her clothes again, and her left eye could not be opened, and ordinary people would have passed out from excessive blood loss.

In the midst of the flames, the airstrip appeared, and in the face of a near-miracle, the eight men took off from the deck one after another, chanting slogans of victory. For Kaga, it was the pain of a broken arm, but for her crew, it was a morale-boosting shot. Even in the worst case scenario where the deck was completely destroyed, the bridge was blown up, and most of the officers in command were killed in battle, they still had Kaga, and they could take off fighters in a kamikaze.

The two waves soon met in the air, and Sakai and the others were faced with the last 21 carrier-based planes from the Yorktown, whose mission was to carry out another round of attacks on the three Japanese aircraft carriers and ensure that they were sunk. As Soryu began to sink, Akagi lost its ability to sail and take off carrier-based aircraft, and Kaga fell into a fire, the bridge was destroyed, and he lost his combat capability. So the squadron of 21 carrier-based aircraft from the Yorktown thought that there was no enemy to intercept.

Kaga didn't care about the mechanical wear and tear of the fighter this time, she was already seriously injured, and she had an indescribable desire to fight. The beast imprisoned in her heart was baring its fangs. She is not human, she was not, and she is not.

In the face of the "Wildcat" fighters of the American Federation, these eight pilots were completely unable to compete with each other in terms of combat experience, and even if Kaga concentrated on control, they were still firmly controlled by the remaining "Wildcats". The Zero Type 52 still has the common shortcomings of zero combat in the airframe structure, which has become the biggest weakness. Especially in the unfavorable situation of many-to-one, four Zeros were shot down in turn, and there were still 7 "Wildcats" left in the escort, and only 2 were downed.

[All the prototype experiments went well.] Excuse me, Kaga. 】

[No one has come to recover these three fighters yet? I'll give it to you, all I want is data, and as for these steel toys, maybe you'll be useful one day. 】

[The seventeenth test ship battle can be tossed as you like, and it will not be structurally damaged until the pilot is finished. 】

Kaga focused his attention on the three faster experimental aircraft, which were indeed used as zero combat purposes, and their performance was completely unplayable. Thinking of this, Kaga adopted a more extreme combat method, in line with the scrapping of the motor to increase the rotational speed, so that the fighter can achieve faster than it was designed. The pilot inside had not yet locked on to the enemy fighter with the naked eye, and Kaga, who had predicted the time, shot down three planes in an instant with an accuracy of one hundredth of a second, with the high-power machine gun equipped on it.

Like the speed of the wind, the tide of battle was turned around under Kaga's control, and the "Wildcats" became the prey of the seventeen test ship battles. By the time Kaga was still in control of three seventeen test ships, all the enemy fighters had been shot down.

"I ...... It's also a bit overwhelming. It's up to you. After saying this, Kaga had to give up continuing to control the carrier-based aircraft because he had consumed too much energy.

And this flying team, which lost the escort of fighters, divided half of the bombers, trying to sacrifice part in exchange for the opportunity to attack.

Under the cover of his comrades-in-arms, Saburo Sakai relied on his own perception and successfully bypassed the blocked enemy aircraft in a big turn. It seems to be much more bulky than the Zero Combat series, but the Seventeen Test Ship Battle surpasses the Zero Combat Type 52 in maneuverability.

There were still six bombers moving towards Akagi and Kaga, and the only thing that could stop them was Saburo Sakai, who was turning around and pursuing.

"Go and be a hero!" Before losing consciousness, Kaga alone gave Saburo Sakai's fighter the ability to fire automatically.
