Chapter 905: Farewell, Yamato!
"Yamato--number-dispatch!" Musashi ...... No., sortie!
When Nagano Shushen gave such an order, Admiral Zhang Xiaoyue, commander-in-chief of the Chinese naval fleet, also gave the same order:
"Decisive battle!"
Decisive battle! Decisive battle!!
The final Armageddon has finally begun!
The second aircraft carrier task force, the 8th and Q task forces are all dispatched! There is only one purpose:
Victory!
Swarms of planes appeared in the sky, and it was a group of Chinese fighters!
Countless bombers appeared in the sky under the escort of huge fighters and fighters!
The Japanese fighters also took to the air at the same time, and although they had been repeatedly hit before, they would not give up so easily.
But in terms of the quantity and quality of fighters, in terms of the quality of pilots, the Japanese fighters and pilots were not at all as warlike as their navy.
When a lot of energy is put into one area and almost completely neglected others, the consequences will quickly become apparent.
Japan's air force, as numerous as it may seem, is filled with a large number of obsolete aircraft. Some of them are even antiques that existed during the European War.
It's not a grade contest!
One Japanese plane after another fell from the sky, and the wreckage of Japanese planes and the corpses of Japanese pilots were floating everywhere on the sea
The Japanese air force began to rout, and the Chinese air superiority became more solid.
Next, it's the beginning of the nightmare of the Japanese!
At this time, the Japanese navy did not know that bad luck was quietly coming towards them, and they still lined up their warships with great force, carrying out the decisive battle that they imagined would be victorious under the guidance of the super battleships.
Countless Chinese fighters appeared, and the anti-aircraft guns on the Japanese battleships fired desperately, blocking the approach of the Chinese planes.
A Chinese fighter plane was hit, and it let out a sharp roar towards the sea...... Another plane was hit, exploding and disintegrating directly in the air
The Japanese artillery fire was very fierce, but they lacked air cover, and although they shot down a lot of Chinese planes, those dense Chinese war eagles still flew fiercely over the Japanese fleet.
Target:
Aircraft carrier "Akagi"!
It was a scene that Chinese pilots, the Chinese Navy, and the Japanese Navy will never forget.
One bomb after another fell from the belly of the "Thunder-7" bomber, and then rained down on the "Akagi."
The Chicheng did its best to dodge, but there were too many bombs.
For any dive bomber, this is a spectacular sight. Above and around the fleet, there was not even a shadow of Japanese aircraft. Japan's air power was devastated.
Air supremacy is completely in the hands of the Chinese, which is the luck of the Chinese and the sorrow of the Japanese.
Such a bombardment can be described in only two words: slaughter!
The pilots of the "Thunder-7" dive bomber aimed at the sun flag painted on the flight deck of the "Akagi" aircraft carrier, and the huge sun flag was the best bombing target!
The terrible bombs kept falling, and the "Akagi" kept returning fire with artillery fire, constantly evading in embarrassment. The surrounding ships can only watch, and they can't help in the slightest.
The most tragic fate of the "Akagi" has come!
A large number of "Thunder 7" dived to 5 ...... meters, then dropped the bomb, and then quickly pulled it into the air, watching the bomb fall on the "Akagi".
A bomb exploded on the aft deck of the "Akagi", and a large hole was blown open in the deck, however, this was only the beginning. …,
Then six more bombs were prepared to fall on the "Akagi", and the disaster of the "Akagi" began!
The huge ship "Akagi" was completely destroyed in a matter of minutes, the ship's oil smoke was billowing from the ship, the hull was blackened by the flames, explosions were constantly occurring in the cabin, the hull shook incessantly, and everything on board was engulfed in flames
"Akagi" began to sink......
It only takes a few minutes!
Without the escort of aircraft, the resistance of the warship under the blow of air power seems so weak that it can even be described as "vulnerable"!
The sinking of the "Akagi" is only the beginning, and an even greater slaughter is underway!
The planes on the aircraft carriers "Dream" and "Glory" and "Skyfury" continued to take off, and this time the targets became two:
The first aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy "Hosho", and the super battleship "Yamato"!
When Admiral Nagano shouted the slogan "Yamato, trumpet, forward", the Chinese soldiers also let out the strongest roar:
Let's fight, Chinese Air Force! Let's fight, Chinese Navy!! Fight, Chinese soldiers!!
The Chinese warships let out a "rumbling" roar, cheering for their phantom air force! Chinese fighters flew in droves over the Japanese fleet and threw down vengeful shells without pity.
What kind of scene is this?
The "Fengxiang" became a live target. Their gunners were still resisting, desperately trying to stop the Chinese warhawks from approaching, but everything was in vain.
They could shoot down one, two, ten Chinese planes, but they couldn't stop the black air formation from reaching their skies like a grim reaper.
When the Chinese War Eagle arrived, all that was brought to the "Fengxiang" was destruction!
The Fengxiang has a total length of 168 meters and a standard displacement of 747. tons, with a maximum speed of 25 knots. In fact, before the outbreak of the decisive battle between China and Japan at sea, this ordinary air carrier had been reduced to a second-rate warship, but it was a symbol of the Japanese Navy, and it was the first real aircraft carrier in the history of the Japanese Navy.
And on April 27th, all the officers and men of the Japanese Navy could only watch as their symbol Shen Is.
They had no way, no way to save the "Fengxiang," just as they could not save their spiritual belief "Yamato."
The Yamato, the belief of the Japanese naval officers and men, the source of their strength, the supership of the sea, which they believed impossible to defeat, was equally powerless in the face of an attack from the air.
From the very beginning, the Japanese, under the guidance of excessive conceit and the Chinese, embarked on a wrong path of development. They believed that only massive battleships could dominate the seas, and they believed that as long as their super-battleships were in service, they would regain their position as supremacy at sea.
But they were wrong, hopelessly wrong.
No matter how large a battleship is, without the escort of a group of aircraft, it can only turn into a huge target floating on the sea.
The only thing the Japanese naval officers and men on board the "Yamato" could do now was to count how many shells had fallen on their ships and how much damage their beloved "Yamato" had suffered. And when will their warship sink.
Nagano is crazy, and the Japanese Navy is crazy. They are desperate to save the Yamato, but what can they do now? Their shouts can scare away Chinese planes? Or will their madness be able to stop the sinking of the "Yamato"? No, they can't do anything!
The same was true of the Japanese naval officers and sailors on the "Yamato".
Of course, they can still do one thing: tragically sing "Kinoyo," and then sink with their "Yamato". …,
However, the Chinese Air Force is also tired enough, and the "Yamato" is so big that it will not be easy to sink it. Despite the fact that the bombs dropped from the plane continued to hit the "Yamato" accurately, the behemoth of the sea simply refused to sink.
Q point 3. When the third batch of battlehouses arrived in the sky over the battlefield, the "Yamato", which had been bombed to the point of not being a ship, finally began to sink slowly, which made the exhausted Chinese pilots breathe a long sigh of relief.
Damn the "Yamato", damn the Japanese! By the way, and those damned Chinese intelligence officers.
They had to let the Japanese make the "Yamato" so big and do something, which made the Chinese Air Force go to great lengths and waste countless bombs before sinking it.
Hell, it's not just the "Yamato", but also the "Musashi" that is waiting for the Chinese pilots.
Thinking of this, the Chinese Air Force boys felt a little numb in their scalps.
Although the "Musashi" must also have the same resistance as the "Yamato", how much effort will it take to successfully sink it? How many more bombs do you have to waste?
The fate of the "Yamato" can no longer be saved, and every Japanese can only watch its sinking with sadness.
Q point 5. The torpedoes fired from the "Yue Fei", "Wei Qing", and "Huo Quai" hit the "Yamato" at the same time, ending the process of its struggle.
This was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the Japanese Navy, and the "Yamato", a behemoth that had been built with infinite hopes for the Japanese Navy and which had taken countless energy and materials from the Japanese government, was attacked like a slaughter in its first naval battle, and then the icy seabed became its final destination.
Farewell, Yamato!
Nagano Shushen couldn't say a word, and at this time he suddenly remembered what Yamamoto Isoroku had said to himself, that naval aviation was the mainstream of the development of naval warfare in the future. But he didn't listen to him at the time, but ridiculed Yamamoto Fifty-six behind his back.
Now, he finally remembered Yamamoto's words, but it was too late.
From now on, the fate of the destruction of the Japanese navy is irretrievable, and defeat will become their ultimate fate. And this is from the beginning of the "Yamato" outburst completely.
Farewell, Yamato! )
