In the midst of a terrible aviation siren, Jizaburo Ozawa finally saw a flock of black "big birds" appear in the sky ahead. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The accompanying guards hurriedly stepped forward and advised him to immediately stay away from the dangerous area of the bridge, but Ozawa pushed the guards away domineeringly, he wanted to witness this battle that went down in history, and besides, the Taiho was in the center of the fleet, and the fighters of the Mi Army could pass through the anti-aircraft fire network in front of the Imperial Army, so there was really no need to make a fuss.

The guards had no choice but to build a human wall around him.

In an instant, the fighter planes of the Mi Army entered the sky above the fleet, their silver wings shining in the afternoon sun.

The anti-aircraft machine guns and antiaircraft machine guns on the locust warships immediately opened fire, and the shells and bullets were densely woven like nets and swept out into the sky, and immediately a low-flying fighter plane was hit, and thick smoke rose from the rear of the plane, and then it fell with the wind like a kite with a broken string and plunged headlong into the clear blue sea.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining fighters immediately pulled up, and one after another small bombs also fell sharply from under the belly, but most of them fell into the sea, and only one or two luckily landed on the ships in front.

This situation almost didn't make Ozawa laugh, not to mention whether the high-altitude bomb could hit the target, even if it was hit, what if it was hit, if the 60-kilogram bomb smashed on the deck of the Dafeng, it would leave a dent at most, and no matter how powerful the machine guns and machine guns on the fighter were, they would be scum in the face of the aircraft carrier fleet's anti-aircraft firepower, and this move of the Mi army was really ridiculous.

But Ozawa didn't be happy for long, a huge formation of planes suddenly appeared in the sky, and the sharp-eyed staff officer immediately exclaimed, "Look, the B-24 heavy bomber is the B-24 heavy bomber of the Mi Army." ”

The smile on Ozawa's face froze in an instant, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that the Mi Army would actually send long-range bombers to carry out bombing missions.

Like the B-24 and B-25, they are all horizontal bombers, which are only suitable for strategic and tactical bombing at fixed positions on the ground, and for the bombing of moving targets at sea, dive bombers and torpedo planes have to carry out low-altitude dive precision bombing, so Ozawa has not thought about it at all.

Although the B-24 bomber is not suitable for this task, it does not mean that it does not pose a threat to the aircraft carrier fleet, after all, this behemoth weighing more than 27 tons can carry six tons of bombs, and each bomb may weigh up to 1,000 pounds.

At this time, the fighters of the Mi army have already controlled the entire airspace, and if the planes on the aircraft carrier are ordered to take off and intercept them, I am afraid that one of them will be shot down by the Mi army, and it will not be possible to form an effective air defense capability at all.

In a hurry, Ozawa had no choice but to immediately order the fleet's anti-aircraft fire to actively defend it, and at the same time immediately call Admiral Yamamoto 56 to request rapid support from the rear carrier-based aircraft.

In an instant, a group of bombers of the Mi Army rumbled into the sky of the island fleet, and in an instant, bombs with terrifying screams fell like raindrops, and a monstrous wave was set off on the sea in an instant, and the dull sound of explosions came from afar.

Ozawa witnessed the battleships in front of him disappearing between the water columns, and suddenly felt frightened, for fear that after the water column disappeared, he would see his battleship smoke billowing into the sky, but fortunately, this did not happen for nearly two minutes.

For the sake of the safety of the bombers, the Mi army aviation did not sacrifice the altitude, and all the bombers were outside the anti-aircraft fire, so it was even more difficult to guarantee the accuracy, but the intensity of its density and terrifying explosive power were absolutely heart-wrenching.

A mist soon formed on the sea, and the vision blurred, and the bomber's flight trajectory was exactly facing the "Taiho" aircraft carrier where Ozawa was.

As soon as the elevator stopped at the headquarters on the third floor, the "Dafeng" suddenly shook violently, and then a violent explosion came, and Ozawa's first reaction was that a bomb hit the "Daho".

The news was quickly confirmed that an aerial bomb had landed accurately on the deck, and a large fire had already ignited on the deck, and it had been confirmed that the aerial bomb had penetrated the deck, injuring the lower hangar, and the specific damage was still to be further examined.

The "Taiho" aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier of the island military to be equipped with protective armor on its flight deck, and it was launched only two months ago, which is also its debut.

From the very beginning of the preparation for war with the Mi army, the island army realized that they were weaker than the Mi navy in terms of strength, and if they wanted to win, they could only rely on their own well-trained characteristics of being particularly good at night combat and close combat, and force the Mi army fleet to engage in hand-to-hand combat. In this way, it is necessary to risk being hit and get close to enemy ships, so it is necessary to strengthen the protection capability and strengthen the armor protection of aircraft carriers.

Therefore, the Dafeng did not hesitate to reduce the number of carrier-based aircraft (63, 21 fewer than the "Xianghe" of the same class) to improve the protection capability of the flight deck and strengthen its unsinkability.

Shocked to hear that the Daho was shot, Ozawa's inner shock can be imagined, fortunately, there were soldiers who reported that the fire had been extinguished, leaving a crater on the deck with a diameter of nearly one meter, and the hangar was slightly damaged, which affected the two fighters, and the others were fine.

Only then did Ozawa let go, and secretly sighed that the Great Phoenix was mighty, and he withstood this fatal blow.

But it seems that this afternoon he is destined to spend in uneasiness, this side has just put his mind at ease, and there is an urgent report ahead, the "Yamato" battleship has also been hit by a bomb, the Mi bombers seem to have their eyes on the "Yamato" battleship, almost flying over the Yamato in a line, each bomber will throw one or two bombs at the Yamato, the Yamato is now completely surrounded by water columns, a large number of aerial bombs continue to explode around, they are already in a stage of serious danger, if there are no fighters to intercept, It is difficult to guarantee that it will not be hit by Mi bombers again.

Ozawa was shocked, except for urging the carrier-based aircraft of the Second Assault Fleet in the rear to take off quickly to intercept them, there was no other remedy, and every second that followed, Ozawa spent in fear.

Ozawa knew that they had just sunk the battleship "Iowa" of the Mi Army, and the Mi Army was now going to take a crazy revenge, so he only prayed in his heart for the blessing of Amaterasu so that the Yamato could successfully escape this catastrophe.

But the cruel reality immediately shattered his dream, and a few minutes later, the news came again, the Yamato was hit by another bullet, the entire superstructure was seriously damaged, a large number of senior officers were killed, and the hull of the ship had begun to tilt for a while, and if it was hit again, the possibility of being sunk could not be ruled out.
