Chapter 187: Attacking the Aircraft Carrier

On board the aircraft carrier Yorktown, every sailor is on standby.

The carrier-based aircraft had already been released, and on the empty deck, it was impossible to carry out any carrier-based aircraft operations, and at this time, only the anti-aircraft guns were on the gun emplacements, and the anti-aircraft gunners were nervously looking at the sky.

It was a clear sky just now, but now, a few white clouds appeared in the sky, which made them quite nervous, and among those white clouds, dive bombers of the islanders would fly out at any time.

Sure enough, just as they were nervous, several Stuka bombers suddenly appeared from among the white clouds! They were like rocks falling from the sky, swooping down swiftly towards the Yorktown.

All the anti-aircraft guns were fired into the air together, and in the midst of countless black smoke, the Stuka bombers did not suffer any losses, and were still diving downward, and then, one bomb after another, dropped from the plane, with a straight trajectory, straight towards the Yorktown.

"Right full rudder!" Captain Elliott Buckmaster shouted loudly, he clutched the handle on his side tightly, feeling the huge tilt of the hull, and the entire deck, a noticeable deflection could be seen.

The bomb fell into the water more than ten meters behind the Yorktown, and if it hadn't turned just now, it would definitely have been damaged, and this German dive bomber was simply too powerful!

At the same time, this also exposes the shortcomings of American aircraft carriers and escort ships, their lack of effective anti-aircraft weapons, the lack of rapid-fire guns with sufficiently fierce firepower!

"Wound one!" Just then, an lookout shouted loudly.

The bomber of the islanders was not harmed when it dived, but when it pulled up, one of them was hit in the wing and black smoke came out!

However, there was no time to cheer, and the second round of the opponent's attack began again!

The Yorktown had to turn again to avoid the attack, and at the same time, it distanced itself from the surrounding frigates and another aircraft carrier.

If you want to have high maneuverability, you must sail at full speed, and in full speed, any one of the left and right rudder may collide with the warship next to it.

Therefore, they had to distance themselves from each other, and in this way, their anti-aircraft firepower was weaker.

Captain Akira Sakamoto, who had been hovering in the clouds, finally seized the opportunity, and after the third wave of bombers went down to dive, he followed behind, pushed the control stick, and controlled his bomber to start diving!

The disadvantages of yesterday's day have all been turned into courage now, in order for his bomb to hit the target, he must get closer!

Soon, the American anti-aircraft artillery discovered Captain Sakamoto's bomber, and compared with other Stukas, the bomb mounted under Captain Sakamoto's belly was larger!

Dive, dive, if the whistle on the landing gear is still there, it must be sounding sharply by now!

Countless artillery fire was firing at Captain Akira Sakamoto, and the black smoke rising around him knew that he was moving forward in a rain of shells at this time.

Suddenly, the tail of the plane shuddered, and the machine gunner behind shouted loudly: "The elevator was hit!" ”

Elevator? Captain Akira Sakamoto looked at the sharply expanded target in his field of vision, put his sight, fled in the middle of the opponent's deck, delayed for another two seconds, and pressed the launch button.

Under the belly of the plane, the flames were stirring, and the rocket-boosted bombs quickly left the launch rack, dragging the flames in the tail, towards the Yorktown!

Then, Captain Akira Sakamoto pulled the operating stick, and sure enough, there was no way to change his own plane, and the elevator in the tail had failed!

From a distance, rocket-booster bombs were flying in front, and Captain Akira Sakamoto's Stuka bomber was following behind, and both aircraft were moving quickly towards the Yorktown!

"Skydive!" Captain Akira Sakamoto immediately shouted to the machine gunner behind him that he couldn't change it, then, there would be only one result!

PC1000RS bomb and accurately hit the Yorktown, which was turning, and this time, the Yorktown did not have the good luck of the previous times, it did not get rid of the attack of this bomb!

The wooden flight deck was penetrated in an instant, and the armor-piercing warhead of this bomb, which was originally designed to deal with the heavy deck armor of battleships, was now hit on aircraft carriers, which was simply too easy.

It continued downward, all the way through the three decks, and when it reached the very bottom, the delay fuse was triggered.

"Boom!" The explosion of hundreds of kilograms of explosives is extremely powerful!

If it was the original ship attack or ship explosion of the island country, it would not be possible to have such an effect, they could only carry a few hundred catties of small bombs, and now, such a bomb is a ton!

The violent explosion of this bomb tore the bottom of the Yorktown in an instant, and a large hole was cracked underneath, and the sea water poured in frantically, and then, under the pressure of the seawater, the Yorktown quickly turned into two sections!

Goodbye, my love!

Captain Akira Sakamoto took one last look at the picture of the woman hanging in his cockpit, the woman, who was smiling sweetly, looking at him, and he, too, smiled.

"Boom!" Stuka, who could not pull up, did not change direction, but followed a straight line of diving, smashed into the Yorktown, and the plane fell on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and in an instant it turned into a fire.

The machine gunner behind him did not jump out either.

For the victory of the island nation, someone must make sacrifices, and in battle, the island pilots are not afraid of death!

The Yorktown exploded and sank quickly, while the Saratoga on the other side was not too lucky, it dodged the attack of a dozen Stuka planes, but was still hit by a dropped bomb, and the deck was on fire.

And then, as if they were not afraid of death, the pilots of the island country continued to pounce fiercely, and four bombs hit the Saratoga one after another, and it was already dying.

And almost at the same time, the US Navy's attack on the aircraft carrier of the island nation also began.

The US Navy counterparts did not have the luck of the pilots of the island nation, or in other words, the US Navy pilots did not have their strong will to fight and sacrifice spirit, nor did they have an effective and reasonable attack.

Even, the weather is working against them.

When they arrived, the two aircraft carriers, Zuihe and Xianghe, actually happened to hide in a sea with torrential rain!

Over the clouds, the American carrier-based aircraft, which were preparing to dive in formation, were intercepted by the Zero fighters, and they were scattered without forming an effective offensive formation.

Even so, they fought bravely.

The torpedo plane, which threw torpedoes from afar, unfortunately deviated far from the target, and the bombers also bombed, although most of them missed, but two bombs still hit the Xianghe, and the Xianghe started a fire on the flight deck due to oil leakage, but it was quickly extinguished by heavy rain.

The U.S. Navy made a failed attack, and when they returned exhausted, they received the shocking news that they could no longer land on their carriers!
