Yamaguchi Tashi was nervously concerned about the battle situation, not to mention that the naval resistance force against the two aircraft carriers was not large, only six fighters. But Yamaguchi Tawen has already decided in his heart at this moment that the opponent is the elite pilot of the Naval Resistance Army. How the Soryu was destroyed, Yamaguchi has heard nightmarish memories again and again in the past few months, and the forty-nine-year-old Major General Yamaguchi has been full of gray hair in the past few months, which shows how serious the spiritual blow of the Soryu has been. Yamaguchi Tawen didn't want to admit it, and tried to drive that fear out of his heart again and again, but this feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The speed of the air strike was extremely fast, and it was not until Yamaguchi Tawen had more ideas. In two or three minutes, the Naval Resistance Army's attack on the aircraft carrier Hiei had already decided the victory. Three dive bombers and three torpedo planes paid the price of two losses and two wounded, one bomb hit, and the Hiei was heavily damaged.

The 800-kilogram armor-piercing projectile that hit pierced the flight deck and exploded on the deck of the second-floor hangar. After the explosion, there was not a single devil left in the hangar, and all the debris piled up on the deck was blown out of the ship's side by the powerful shock wave. On the anti-aircraft gun emplacements around the side of the ship, nearly 100 Japanese gunners were killed on the spot.

A fuel truck was also detonated, and flames and black smoke began to spread and rage on the aircraft carrier Hiei.

Six fighters, only one hit. This hit rate is not high, but you must know that the Hiei is different from other Japanese aircraft carriers, and the air defense is strong, and it is equipped with at least 140 anti-aircraft guns of various kinds. In such anti-aircraft firepower, it is an extremely difficult thing for the fighters of the Naval Resistance Force to penetrate the defense.

Yamaguchi's heart almost stopped beating at the situation in front of him. Although he had a hunch, he didn't really think that such a sporadic number of fighters could threaten his aircraft carrier Hiei.

"Torpedo machine, one hundred and twenty degrees to starboard." Japanese observers were shouting. Yamaguchi's heart began to tense again.

This is the TBF torpedo machine piloted by Shao Fuxuan. After only three days of familiarizing themselves with this new type of fighter, the Maritime Resistance Force was able to adopt the same tactics as the US military, using the guide plane to open the way and find out the flight track for the pilots behind.

Shao Fuxuan and the other two torpedo planes were responsible for attacking the aircraft carrier Feilong. As the offensive had just begun, a Japanese heavy cruiser was caught between the fighters and the aircraft carrier Wyvern, blocking the attack route of the torpedo planes. Therefore, Shao Fuxuan was forced to turn around and reorganize the attack on the Flying Dragon from the other side. Because of such a delay, the attack on the Hiei has ended, and the three dive bombers that also attacked the Wyvern have also completed the attack without success.

Two or three minutes ago. If Shao Fuxuan dropped the bomb, the Japanese heavy cruiser would be afraid that it would be difficult to retreat. In terms of cost, heavy cruisers are actually not much cheaper than aircraft carriers, and Yamaguchi Tawen can command heavy cruisers for close protection, which can be described as a bloody investment.

But. The purpose of the Naval Resistance Army was not the heavy cruisers of the Japanese army, even if the battleships appeared in front of them. Shao Fuxuan will also give up. Before the war, Li Guang said very clearly: "Aircraft carriers." Only aircraft carriers are the target. ”

In addition to the lack of troops, there was another important reason for the failure of the dive bombers to attack the Flying Dragon - the Japanese anti-aircraft guns on the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier were much higher than the devils on the Hiei. Originally, the number of anti-aircraft guns of the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier and the escort heavy cruiser was not more than that of the Rui, but the veterans who had been trained hard for more than ten years were not at the same level at all compared to the technical and tactical level of the Hiei, which had just been in service for a few months.

The intensive defense of hundreds of anti-aircraft guns caused the destruction of two of the three dive bombers of the Naval Resistance Army. The other suffered minor injuries.

Now, let's look at Shao Fuxuan's three torpedo machines.

Shao Fuxuan turned to the offensive line at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and the number of fighters of the Naval Resistance Army was too small, which caused the concentration of Japanese anti-aircraft firepower. Compared with dive bombers, torpedo planes are more difficult to break through.

No matter which country's aircraft carrier has a strong lethality against level-flying torpedo planes, anti-aircraft artillery is too advantageous to level-flying fighters compared to high-altitude dive bombers.

Shao Fuxuan's technique was exquisite, and the TBF torpedo plane withstood the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, drew a beautiful curve in the air, and almost entered the height of 20 meters in place at one time, and changed to level flight extremely smoothly.

On the Flying Dragon, there are a lot of devils who know the goods, and they know very well that to make such smooth movements, the pilot is definitely the elite of the elite, and the killer of the killers. In the face of such a sharp attack, the devils on the Flying Dragon were also firing with all their might, not only the anti-aircraft guns were spraying shells, but dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns were also spilling a rain of bullets.

In front of Shao Fuxuan's eyes, the cannonballs and bullets drew a bright light, and the cannonballs exploded one after another around him. No one could be indifferent to the rain of bullets that were close at hand, Shao Fuxuan gritted his teeth and stared closely at the sea in front of him.

"Don't dodge." Shao Fuxuan yelled, as if he was giving orders to other fighters, and it was also like increasing his determination.

The sturdy fuselage of the TBF torpedo machine was shaken like a leaf in the rain of bullets. Far away from the Flying Dragon, the anti-aircraft guns of several Japanese destroyers were also firing, forming a dense barrage.

The devil's artillery fire is so fierce, so deadly. The main guns and anti-aircraft guns on the destroyers did not even care about the fact that the shells would hurt the Japanese themselves, and the shells continued to explode in the sea, stirring up columns of water, which then turned into rain and mist and drifted on the surface of the sea.

In the face of such a dense barrage, rookie pilots simply have no time to take care of evasion. However, the elite pilot was holding back his fear, and Shao Fuxuan was already staring at the target through the telescopic sight located in the nose of the aircraft. In front of the nose of the plane, two red lampposts happened to meet on the sea, and Shao Fuxuan mastered the flight altitude very accurately.

The torpedo machine faced a more dense rain of bullets and attacked desperately, like a sword that flashed cold light, piercing into the endless rain of bullets.

Two kilometers.

Fifteen hundred meters.

One kilometer.

800 meters......

Shao Fuxuan shouted "release", and the projector located in the middle of the fighter quickly released the handle with one hand and dropped the torpedo.

The distance was too close, and the Japanese artillery fire had almost all concentrated on Shao Fuxuan's body, and before the fighter had time to pull up, dozens of single holes appeared on the fuselage. For this TBF torpedo plane, the most serious injury was not these bullets, when Shao Fuxuan tried to turn around, and the fighter climbed diagonally from the flank, an anti-aircraft artillery shell hit the wing.

The TBF torpedo plane made a series of turns in the air at a distance of one or two hundred meters, and to the surprise of the Japanese officers and men, a bomber whose wing had been broken more than a foot long did not crash into the sea, but flew crookedly into the distance. The devils almost couldn't believe their eyes, where is this fighter, it's completely a tank in the air, such a strong survivability is something that Japanese fighters can't think of.

In such a short period of tens of seconds, all three people on board the TBF torpedo plane were injured. Shao Fuxuan was hit in the back by shrapnel, the bombardier was pierced through the thigh by a machine-gun bullet, and the tail machine-gunner had his left arm amputated by a machine-gun bullet. The cabin was a mess, with holes and blood all over the hatch cover.

The little devil has no time to be surprised by the survivability of this fighter, the MK13 aviation torpedo did not drop the chain this time, and the low-probability event finally happened, the torpedo thrown by Shao Fuxuan hit the waterline armor of the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier, causing an earth-shattering explosion.

Although the MK13 aviation torpedo, which is a very copycat (the Americans copied the British), had a charge of only more than 180 kilograms in the middle of 42, which was far less than the charge of a shipborne torpedo, it was still amazingly powerful.

With a violent explosion, a column of water sixty or seventy meters high erupted above the explosion point. The Wyvern's mine-resistant armor was easily penetrated, and a large hole nearly a meter in diameter was blown out of the hull, and the sea water immediately rushed in.

Shao Fuxuan's results inspired the other two torpedo planes of the Naval Resistance Army, and in the short time when the devils were affected by the explosion and the anti-aircraft artillery fire was messy, the two torpedo planes successfully threw torpedoes, one of which hit.

However, to the extreme displeasure of the pilots, the torpedo was not able to explode. Known as the most cheating torpedo, the MK13 aviation torpedo is once again cheating on the daddle.

In fact, the torpedo plane that attacked the aircraft carrier Hiei also had a torpedo hit, again, without exploding.

If two torpedoes hit the aircraft carrier Wyvern, even if the aircraft carrier is unsinkable, I am afraid that it will lose its combat effectiveness. The U.S. torpedoes, whose luck turned out to be biased in favor of the Japanese at this moment.

The torpedo thrown by Shao Fuxuan set a record, becoming the only torpedo to explode in the hours since the Battle of Midway.

In less than 10 minutes of fighting, the Naval Resistance Army lost two torpedo planes, three dive bombers, and three fighters were wounded, and achieved the result of hitting an 800-kilogram armor-piercing bomb on the Hiei and a torpedo on the Japanese aircraft carrier Flying Dragon. It was brilliant that only twelve bombers were able to achieve such results.

The sword came out of the sky, and the light was cold in the Pacific Ocean. (To be continued......)
