162 air-to-ship

The starboard side of the Aoba was flooded, and when the damage pipe desperately closed the watertight compartment, the entire hull was tilted to the right twenty degrees, and if there was any more water, the entire warship would have to capsize.

The Yamato slowed down, and the chrysanthemum torpedo blew up one of its propellers, and the Yamato, which was propelled only by the propeller on the left, was like a cripple, with a lot of horsepower, the hull tilted to the right, and the route it took was also a large arc.

There were only three destroyers left, Asashuang, Fujina, and Yukikaze, who didn't dare to attack anymore, they kept going around in circles to save people, and if you want to say that this business is still skilled in Yukikaze, it has saved more people.

It's just that the rescued sailors didn't thank them, but scolded loudly, "The special Snow Wind is a broom star, whoever comes out with it is unlucky!" ”

The non-combatants of the Aoba began rowing towards the Kitakami in small boats, and each of them dared to guarantee that the enemy would not come back.

It was time to come, and just when they were terrified, 48 blue fighters rushed over from the northwest.

The air defense siren on the Yamato sounded early, but when it sounded, they couldn't go, first, the Yamato's current speed was only 18 knots, and the route was still curved, and second, there were still many sailors in the sea to be rescued.

Four battleships surrounded the Yamato, with large and small barrels, all pointing to the sky.

At an altitude of 8,000 meters, Yu Dawei said to the pilot, "It's up to everyone below, the little devils are nothing to fear, no matter how good they are, they can't hit the top of their heads, although we will have sacrifices in this battle, but this battle is to avenge Tian Yu, are you willing to sink the Yamato?" ”

"Dry Shen Yamato, avenge Tian Yu!" All the pilots in the intercom roared.

"Okay, then let's attack the rear half of the Yamato first, they have chimneys to block it, and the small-caliber artillery in front can't hit the stern, now, charge!"

"Kill ......" The pilots roared, and two planes in a group quickly dived down at an almost vertical angle!

After a long period of use, the original Air Combat Seagull produced by Kane has long been gradually retired, and now only 60 of the aircraft on the Extinction are air combat types.

The planes on the Capture are now all newly produced F6F-5 in the United States, and this aircraft has been remodified from many previous shortcomings.

Two 20 guns, four 12.7 machine guns, two 250-kilogram bombs hanging at the base of the wings, and six rocket pylons under the outer wings!

Although in this way, the maneuverability of the new Seagull is not as good as that of the old aircraft, but the strike capability is much stronger, and it is still a fighter after the bomb is dropped.

Although the 127-mm high-level dual-purpose gun shoots at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, no one is stupid enough to set the fuse at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and it is not a large bomber, so it is strange that the human eye can see a small plane 8 kilometers away! It's also not very convenient to use a scope.

Therefore, most of the fixed ammunition on the ship is about 5,000 meters, and further down, it is more than 3,000 meters of 40 anti-aircraft guns, and finally the world of 25 guns.

The 85-degree firing angle made it impossible for the high-level artillery to hit the top of his head, and the entire Yamato relied on joint defense, that is, to try to shoot a black cloud at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and blow up scattered shrapnel waiting for the plane to collide.

The first two new seagulls roared down at a speed of 800 kilometers, and from time to time shrapnel hit the bulletproof glass and the fuselage, making various sounds.

The driver Wei Zhaohua didn't blink, he aimed straight at the 127 anti-aircraft gun position behind the Yamato, and there was an explosion of "boom" behind him, and the wingman was directly bombarded by the shell, and Xiao Wei yelled, "Little bear, brother will avenge you!" ”

Press the button hard, six large rockets shot out at the same time, this rocket is much larger than the previous small rockets, each weighing 64 kilograms, Kane is still loaded with incendiary material, one shot is more than six rounds before!

As the rocket was fired, Wei Zhaohua dropped two more 250-kilogram bombs, knowing that these bombs would not have much effect on the thick-skinned battleship, so the bombs designed by Kane were still mainly anti-personnel.

Each bomb contains a mixture of steel balls and fuel, which can not only ignite all combustibles, but also kill thousands of steel balls inside!

As soon as the bomb was dropped, Xiao Wei flew out of the side of the fuselage from the starboard side of the Yamato against the sea. He won't pull up now, not only will it be slow, but it will also give his white belly to the anti-aircraft artillery, and let people shoot it down in minutes.

The plane rushed out of the stern of the Fujina, and with the help of the Fujina, it dodged the rain of bullets from the Yamato, and flew for a distance before pulling up and climbing.

At this time, the entire second half of the Yamato was already billowing with smoke, and the steel ball shells killed and injured many antiaircraft artillerymen, and the incendiary bombs caused fires in various places, and for a time the antiaircraft artillery could not see the planes in the sky clearly.

The battle damage was only a little more at the beginning, and the planes that rushed down later basically just threw bombs and rockets into the smoke.

In the first wave of impact, six fighters were lost, although two of them staggered towards their own aircraft carriers, but Yu Dawei was still distressed and dripping blood, they were all young men with one hand! was blown up in the air like this, and not even a corpse was left.

Wipe away your tears, the battle must go on! The second wave of seagulls dived again, this time with a good orientation, and they all entered from the tail of the Yamato.

Poor Big River, several seaplanes on board were set on fire, and explosions rang out. Now it can't raise its speed at all, it can't carry the smoke to the rear, and a large number of anti-aircraft guns are blocked from firing range, so they can only bombard blindly.

I only heard the roar of fighters in the sky, and one after another seagulls shot long rockets through the thick smoke, and then, by inertia, threw down the bombs, and fled from the side of the fuselage.

The light patrol of the Kitakami and the three small drive guns in charge of defense were all red, but they still failed to save the end of the Yamato's fireworks.

Finally, Yu Dawei saw that only three planes had been lost in the second wave, and his heart was also moved, and he took the last eight planes to dive to the side of the Yamato at once, and then resolutely passed through the smoke and suddenly appeared on the side of the Kitakami.

The anti-aircraft artillery on the Kitakami hurriedly shook the barrels, but the speed was a little too late, and in just a few seconds, dozens of large rockets were fired into the hull, and the entire cruiser was full of fireworks.

After dropping sixteen bombs, Yu Dawei left easily with his teammates, leaving only the Beishang who wanted to cry without tears.

Yukisaku Ariga is rejoicing that the enemy has no bombers, and although the ship is smoky and burning, the entire body has not been seriously damaged, as long as the fire is extinguished, the Yamato will still be the Yamato.

Suddenly, the staff officer with a blackened face ran over, "Your Excellency, a group of bombers has appeared!" ”

The belated 28 Dreadnoughts finally arrived over the Yamato, and above their heads, there were more than 40 B-17s, and the leader of the team scolded angrily, "If we hadn't waited for them, we would have arrived a long time ago, and these guys would have known how to pick peaches!" ”

Seeing that the Yamato was no longer able to fire, the Flying Fortress was so excited that they directly pressed the fuselage to three thousand meters, and then threw down countless huge bombs.

It's just that before they could see the results, they were damaged. The four escorts fired a large number of shells with hatred, and due to the horizontal bombardment, these planes were so large that they were full of planes overhead.

In a short time, four B17s were broken and fell in flames!

Of course, the results of the battle were quite obvious, three large bombs fell on the Yamato, and the huge explosion could be heard ten kilometers away!

The North Ship was finished, and this time a near-miss bomb exploded on its starboard side, setting off a huge column of water, and at the same time, it also tore a big hole in its waterline armor, and in an instant, thousands of tons of seawater poured into the cabin!
