The Canglong is the first medium-sized aircraft carrier designed and manufactured by the island navy, and when it was designed, it was designed to carry more carrier-based aircraft, and the use of heavy artillery was abandoned, but it was a pity that it was top-heavy.

Its second ship is the Wyvern, which is certainly not the second ship in the full sense of the word, it has been improved, the displacement has been increased by 2,000 tons, and at the same time, most interestingly, its bridge is unique, it is actually located on the port side.

This is a rather nonsense design, and the bridges of aircraft carriers in later generations are on the right, which is theoretically based.

Once the pilot encounters trouble during landing, he often turns left for some reason, and the port island superstructure causes a lot more landing accidents than the starboard side. At the same time, in the era of propeller aircraft, under the low-speed state, the aircraft is often prone to deviate to the left due to the influence of the propeller reaction force, so it is safer to set the ship island on the starboard side.

The reason for the islanders' design is quite ridiculous, according to the logic in their heads, when the two sister ships are in parallel, the aircraft that are about to land on the left ship (the Soryu) can circle to the left when they are in formation or returning to prepare for landing; Aircraft landing on the right ship (Wyvern) can circle to the right, and there will be no clash of air traffic between the planes of the two ships.

So, the islanders did just that, and for the sake of the navigation of these two sister ships, they actually violated the basic principles of aircraft carrier construction, of course, in this era, there are no rules.

And now, the Canglong and the Wyvern were sailing side by side, and when they saw the bombs flying overhead, they actually forgot about the warship next to them, and just wanted to avoid the attack of the bombs overhead!

So, the Wyvern to the left, the Soryu to the right, the two warships quickly turned, and several bombs followed behind fell into the sea!

It was nice to see the water splash, and it was only when they turned back that they realized the terrible situation.

"Oh, damn it, quick, right rudder!"

"Quick, left rudder!"

The two aircraft carriers tried to maneuver in the opposite direction, and in a violent turn, the hulls of both ships tilted, and then there was a terrible violent collision.

"Boom!" The hull and the hull touched, intersected, and the sparks came out from between the two hulls like this, and the huge vibration made everyone extremely shocked in their hearts, sailing in formation at sea, the most terrible thing was the collision, and now it actually happened!

Neither ship capsized, but the collision still had a terrible impact, and I saw that a huge and clearly visible crack had appeared on the hulls of the two ships!

Yes, the steel used to build ships in the island country only pursues yield, and the hardness is up to standard, but it is brittle, and the collision just now actually cracked the hull!

Because the collision occurred in the upper part of the hull, it did not affect the lower deck, the watertight compartment was still intact, and the ship was still floating, but they had lost their combat effectiveness, and in the event of bad sea conditions, the warship was in danger of capsizing.

When the report was received, Nagumo Tadaichi's face on the Kaga was ugly.

The formation of four aircraft carriers lost two at once, and the captains of these two aircraft carriers, are they all-eaters?

The Americans were aggressive and dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb the aircraft carrier formation of the island nation, but the casualties caused were not large.

The second round of bombs, again, only damaged one destroyer, the bombs of the Americans looked terrible, but in fact they mainly caused chaos to their own side, and in the chaos, their own side made mistakes, and as a result, huge losses!

Two aircraft carriers! More than a hundred fighters, no longer able to dispatch, thinking of this, Nagumo Zhongyi was extremely painful, lost two aircraft carriers, can he continue to advance?

In his eyes, preserving the main force of the army is the first priority, and defeating the enemy is the second, after all, the strength at hand is the elite of the island country, and once it is lost, the island country can not afford it.

The U.S. bombing succeeded in delaying Nagumo Tadaichi's fleet, while at the same time, the U.S. fleet, without the slightest hesitation, was moving quickly.

Saratoga.

Standing on the bridge of the ship, Fletcher watched the sun slowly set, and the golden sunlight sprinkled over the entire sea, looking a magnificent beauty.

After receiving the news, they immediately headed south at full speed, but the long distance was destined to make it impossible for them to arrive today, and they could only encounter the fleet of the islanders during the day tomorrow.

A few hours ago, the bombers of the Air Force carried out a dreadnought bombing, but unfortunately, the effect was very poor, and the last reconnaissance plane hidden in the clouds reported that the island navy actually only damaged two destroyers.

Although the traces of the island navy were found during the day, one night was enough to make the target sail hundreds of nautical miles, and if it was in the wrong direction, the target would not be found.

Where will the islanders hide? Will you sneak attack your own side while you are driving?

No matter what, you will never give up, and you must look for the main force of the island country's navy for a decisive battle!

Fletcher clenched his fists, and the battle that decided the fate of the US Navy would definitely not be lost!

The night covers the ocean, the aircraft carrier formation is immersed in darkness, and when the dawn of the east comes again, there will be a fateful battle!

Far away on the other side of the Earth, the Wolf's Lair.

"The bomber forces of the Americans, almost in vain, however, their report caught our attention, and it is likely that the Americans have also begun to have precision-guided weapons." With the latest information in hand, Reinhardt said.

It is impossible to maintain superiority forever, and when Germany develops precision-guided weapons, it will give the enemy ideas, and the opponent will also find a way to solve the problem.

Ciric nodded: "Yes, the Americans will definitely develop it, so we must have corresponding measures, if the Americans dare to do it to us, the hit rate of this bomb can only be zero." ”

In this era, precision guidance mainly relied on radio, and now electromagnetic interference is really too easy, as long as a certain amount of jamming devices are equipped, they can make their weapons ineffective.

Historically, the Americans did the same with German weapons.

"I'm more concerned about their battles than about this new weapon that suddenly appeared, and I don't know which side will win the naval battle?" Keitel said.

"If nothing else, I'm afraid the Americans will win." "I don't know what they think," said Ciric, "wouldn't it be better to go so far to find trouble with the Americans, and wait at Midway?" Today is enough time for them to turn Midway into an impregnable wall, but unfortunately, they have wasted all their time! ”
