Buzz-buzz-buzz!

One after another, the Inferno heavy ships burst out of the cumulus clouds and swooped down on the two Japanese aircraft carriers, the Akagi and Kaga, with great momentum.

"Enemy attack!"

"Six enemy aircraft on the port side!"

"More enemy planes are coming!"

The Japanese army was well-trained and immediately sounded the air defense alarm. The air defense forces were quickly put into position, and the 12 120-mm high-altitude dual-purpose guns of the aircraft carrier Kaga were ready to counterattack.

"It's too fast for me to aim!"

The speed of the target aircraft trained by the Japanese gunners on weekdays was only 200 kilometers per hour, and now the speed of the Tang Army's Hellfire heavy ships is as high as 450 kilometers per hour, making it difficult for the Japanese gunners to lock the target trajectory for a while.

"Fire!"

The Japanese commanders couldn't care so much anymore, and even if they didn't aim, firing the artillery would disturb the psychological quality of the pilots of the Tang Army.

"Bang bang bang!"

The same was true of the Akagi, whose thumping cannons had already opened fire first, and one after another large-caliber shells exploded into the air and turned into clouds.

For the pilots of the Tang Army's bombers, although the training effect on weekdays was very good, this was the first time that they had broken into the air defense fire network of an enemy ship head-on.

When enemy shells explode in the sky, a shock wave hits, and the Hellfire heavy ship boom shakes with it.

The pilots of the Tang Army rigidly controlled the control sticks and maintained a diamond-shaped formation to ensure that the fighters were not overturned by the shock wave.

This is the moment when the psychological quality of the pilots is really tested, as long as one pilot in a formation panics. It is possible to shake the joystick sharply, which will deflect his fighter plane, and it is more likely to hit the plane of his companion next to him. The consequences are unimaginable.

"Don't panic, everyone, they can't hit us, they will enter the dive range for a while, remember not to be nervous, just drop bombs according to the usual training, the enemy's deck is very large, you can blow up that piece."

"Remember to open the airbrake as soon as you drop the bomb. At the same time, the nose is provoked, and the throttle cannot be released. ”

The team leader and wingman reminded the team members through the radio intercom, after all, they are all pink novices. The first time I was counterattacked by the anti-aircraft fire of a Japanese ship, I was inevitably afraid, and it was very likely that I would forget the essentials of training on weekdays.

You know, for dive bombers. If you move faster and slower, you will most likely not be able to hit an enemy ship. Even throwing away his life, that's not a joke, that's playing with life.

At this time, the eighteen Hellfire heavy ships of a whole squadron of the Tang Army bombarded and entered a dive altitude of 3,000 meters one after another, with a sudden increase in speed and a sharp whistling sound.

The Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns fired, as did several destroyers serving as escorts. Intertwined in the sky to form a fire blockade.

"Bomb dropping!"

"Open the airbrake!"

"Pull up!"

The team leader and wingman rushed to the front, and they were also the first to drop bombs.

"Babble-babble-babble-"

Two 500-kilogram aerial bombs under the belly of the Hellfire were thrown at the same time. This is different from the previous method of throwing one by one, because actual combat has shown that high-speed dive is to drop only one bomb, which is easy to cause accidents due to unstable balance of the aircraft.

The leader and wingman dropped four 500-kilogram aerial bombs and quickly opened the speed brake, and at the same time pulled the plane up and broke through the Japanese machine-gun fire.

The other pilots had heard the reminders of the captain and wingman before, and they also followed their movements to drop bombs, fire the airbrakes, and quickly pull up the plane.

"What are they doing?"

"Are you going to hit us with a bomb?"

"Are they crazy? Die with us! ”

The Japanese troops on the aircraft carrier Kaga were a little dumbfounded, they had seen this kind of bomb dropping method for the first time, and there was a lot of speculation for a while.

In this dive range, it was the blind spot of the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery, and the Japanese army, which had never attached importance to air defense, saw the bombs dropped by the Tang bombers, and stood on the spot for a while.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Get out of the way! ”

The experienced Japanese commander pulled away the stunned sailors and hid behind the bunkers on the side, and then the entire aircraft carrier trembled violently, and immediately shook the two of them to the ground.

Two 500-kilogram aerial bombs hit the take-off deck of the first deck of the Kaga aircraft carrier, and the powerful penetrating force penetrated the three-section flight deck of the Kaga in an instant, and exploded after penetrating the third flight deck.

"Boom! Boom! ”

There were two loud bangs, and the aircraft carrier, which was as steady as a mountain, shook the mountain in an instant. The explosion instantly blew a huge hole five or six meters in diameter in the middle of the Kaga aircraft carrier, and if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese aircraft carrier was open, and the blast wave rushed from the perimeter to the fire, the two bombs would have destroyed a quarter of the aircraft carrier.

"What kind of bomb is this? How can it be so powerful? ”

The Japanese army with a little experience knew that it was a terrifying aerial bomb, and its power was far more powerful than the Japanese army's 30-kilogram aerial bomb.

Fear, at that moment, spread on the Kaga aircraft carrier, most people have never experienced such a brutal war, enough to frighten out.

But more terrifying followed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

A squadron of the Tang Army alone dropped 36 500-kilogram aerial bombs, which would be enough to blow up the Kaga aircraft carrier if they all hit it.

However, only five or six bombs hit the Kaga, and two of them hit the island, blowing up the entire island in an instant, and the lightning and fire smoke rose into the air, and the steel fragments fell into the sea hundreds of meters away, and hundreds of Japanese troops from the Japanese commander down were wiped out in the explosion.

All the other bombs fell into the sea around the aircraft carrier Kaga, stirring up a huge column of water. Even if it were a near-arrow bomb, the huge explosion power also caused serious damage to the broadside of the Kaga aircraft carrier, if it were not for the Kaga aircraft carrier itself changed from a battleship, its original armor was very backward, and it was replaced with an ordinary thin-skinned aircraft carrier, and those close-arrow shells would have been enough to destroy its broadside armor.

The Kaga aircraft carrier was heavily damaged, the island was razed to the ground, and the three-section flight deck left huge holes in the airdeck, from which billowing smoke billowed from it, the destructive power of which was rarely seen in the world.

The Akagi, not far from Kaga, also did not escape the fate of being bombed. A squadron of 18 Hellfire ships of the Tang Army also attacked it, and 7 of the 36 aerial bombs hit, six of which directly hit its three-section flight deck, destroying the entire three decks and igniting a monstrous fire.

The seventh bomb was supposed to be a close-in bomb, but at that moment, six 500-kilogram bombs exploded in succession on the port side of the Akagi aircraft carrier, setting off a monstrous wave that caused the Akagi aircraft carrier to roll drastically, and as a result, the port side armored waterline belt was just hit by the seventh bomb.

The Akagi is no better than the Kaga, its predecessor was a battle cruiser design, and the side armor is not as thick as that of the Kaga, and it cannot resist the direct impact and explosion of 500 kg of bombs.

There was a loud bang, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

A huge two-meter-wide hole was blown open on the port side of the Akagi, and the violent explosion destroyed five or six watertight compartments inside. The flames rolled out of the breach, and it wasn't long before the pressure was out of balance, and thousands of tons of seawater poured into the breach, causing the Akagi to tilt badly, and the planes on deck, various equipment, and hundreds of Japanese troops slid into the sea.

This is just the first wave.

Li Jianhui led seven squadrons with a total of 126 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers, and just half a minute passed, two squadrons were dropped, and the results were already very obvious, the Akagi was about to sink, and the Kaga was only heavily damaged because it was the armor of the battleship, but it also lost its combat effectiveness, and only a few more 500-kilogram aerial bombs were needed to sink it.

Li Jianhui immediately ordered one squadron to continue bombing the Kaga aircraft carrier, and the other three squadrons went to bomb the three destroyers escorting the Kaga and Akagi respectively, while one squadron of Zuihou hung a 900-kilogram aerial torpedo instead of an aerial bomb, and they were still waiting.

"Looks like we don't need a torpedo!"

Li Jianhui smiled slightly, although the power of the torpedo is huge, but the risk is the highest, because they must be horizontally close to the Japanese ships, and they are vulnerable to fierce attacks by the Japanese ships' guns.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

After a good start, the pilots of the Tang Army saw that the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese warships was almost an ornament, and as long as they entered their blind spot of air defense, they could only stare dryly, so they were all high-spirited, and their accuracy was getting higher and higher, but it was still not as good as the bombing level during the usual training, and it was not as good as the bombing rate when bombing the Fijian natives.

When they overcome those psychological barriers, they will be able to laugh and be proud.

Of course, for this Shijie human being, no matter what country's army, from ancient times to the present, there are few people who can really be afraid of nothing on the battlefield.

The strongest army can only be relative. (To be continued......)
