As the bombs continued to explode, large groups of flames continued to rush into the ranks of Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and broken wings and fragments of the broken airframe scattered in all directions in the chaotic crowd of Japanese troops.

Although the two Nakajima fighters on the Kaga were about to take off, although they were not blown up and caught fire, one of their wings was blown off, and the other was blown off the propeller in front of the nose, and it was impossible to take off to meet them.

The strong two of the first echelon carried not only ordinary bombs, but also incendiary bombs, and wherever the splashed napalm fell, there was a ball of flames, and even on the steel flight deck and on the walls of the chimney, there were clusters of flames burning.

As for the burning napalm that fell in the group, not to mention, in the large group of carrier-based aircraft that were blown apart, oil and gasoline flowed everywhere, and when they encountered these flames, they ignited a fire instantly.

The situation of the Japanese officers and soldiers who were splashed with napalm was even worse, although at the beginning it was only a small cluster of flames, and the Japanese army pulled it with their hands, and immediately it was a large piece, and even the hands that stuck to the napalm also burned, this strange scene made the Japanese soldiers frightened, and shouted in panic and ran around, rolling around, but even that, it could not prevent the flames from spreading on their clothes, and some frightened Japanese soldiers even began to jump into the sea from the deck dozens of meters high.

At this time, several Japanese aircraft carriers were not only already in motion, but also accelerating, under the help of the sea breeze of hunting, the fire on the deck burned more and more, and the scarlet flames rose more than ten meters high on the deck.

Damage management personnel on a Japanese aircraft carrier. It is impossible to extinguish such a flame again. Moreover, the Japanese officers and men on the aircraft carrier looked at the flames that burned brightly on the deck and on the walls of the chimney. They were all terrified. They absolutely did not expect that the Chinese's bombs would be so powerful that steel could burn, and many Japanese shipboard personnel had given up their efforts to extinguish the fire.

In the first round of bombing, the Qiang 2 Aircraft Group, which was attacked by the anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese ships, began to divide part of its forces to deal with the Japanese anti-aircraft fire in the second round of attacks on the Japanese fleet. And it was not limited to the anti-aircraft guns on the Japanese aircraft carriers, the 76mm anti-aircraft guns on several Japanese battleships that posed a great threat to them also became their main targets.

At this time, the Jian-2, which had completely annihilated the Japanese Nakajima-type fighters, finally completely freed up his hands and began to strafe the personnel on more than a dozen Japanese warships, large and small, and more than 70 warplanes roared through the sky over the Japanese army to bomb and strafe, so that the anti-aircraft fire on the Japanese ships was exhausted.

What frightened the Japanese most were the Chinese biplanes with bloated fuselages, which from time to time flew over their heads tens of meters overhead. Not only did the front of the nose keep spraying strings of blazing bullets. They will also often drop one or two bombs accurately, and any gun emplacement they patronize will immediately turn into a sea of fire.

Now. In the "Eagle Eye", which had descended to an altitude of 2,000 meters, Gao Zhihang, who was carefully observing the bombing of the Japanese fleet 1 in front of the observation glass, was very excited.

Billowing fires and smoke rose from the decks of all four Japanese aircraft carriers. Although there were still a few anti-aircraft machine guns in the Japanese fleet firing in the air, there was no effective resistance.

The Japanese fleet was now fleeing south at high speed, and the black smoke dragged a long tail from south to north, and the Wakanomiya Maru, which was lagging behind, was even covered by the thick black smoke emitted from the three aircraft carriers in front, but a few chimneys appeared in the smoke from time to time.

Although the Japanese fleet was bombed with thick smoke and flames. The carrier-based aircraft were basically all blown up, but the formation of the entire fleet was not chaotic. Basically maintaining the formation of four aircraft carriers in the middle and the escort fleet on both wings, it is moving rapidly southward. …,

Gao Zhihang understood that the commander of the Japanese fleet was not dizzy, and he ordered the fleet to flee south, just to get away from the mainland as soon as possible, so as to reduce the time of these planes attacking it, unless the pilots of these planes went crazy, it would be difficult for them to fly back to the mainland.

Although the formation of the Japanese fleet was still relatively complete, it was not conducive to using his "killer weapon" to carry out a decisive blow to the Japanese aircraft carriers, but looking at the Japanese fleet that was speeding faster and faster, Gao Zhihang still decisively gave the order after calculating the time.

"Order the Flying Leopards 2nd to attack, from west to east, release their flying fish, and sink the Japanese fleet for me."

Five minutes later, dozens of small black dots appeared in the southwest direction of the Japanese fleet, and soon these black dots were getting bigger and bigger, and it was already clear that this was another group of biplanes.

This is exactly Gao Zhihang's killer weapon, the second attack echelon composed of 36 strong two.

It is almost impossible for a fifty-kilogram bomb to penetrate a deck tens or even hundreds of millimeters thick, especially for the staggering extra-thick decks of battleships and heavy cruisers that can withstand 200mm caliber shells.

Moreover, even if these bomblets could penetrate the deck of a Japanese warship, they would not be able to sink a warship unless it happened to hit the ammunition depot inside the Japanese warship.

And to blow up and sink the three Japanese aircraft carriers, it is almost a fantasy, the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier, all 300mm thick armor, such a small bomb is equivalent to tickling him. In particular, the Kaga and the Hosho are both three-stage, that is, three-layer structures, even if they blow through the first and second decks, they still won't damage the hull. Moreover, to blow through the second deck, it is necessary to accurately drop bombs through the hole in the first deck, and the bombs thrown into the same hole cannot be just one, but several or even more.

This is almost equivalent to a rifle hitting a target, where all ten bullets pass through the first bullet hole, and the difficulty can be imagined.

However, this is not difficult for Song Zhewu. Song Zhewu already had a way to deal with Japanese warships and even aircraft carriers.

Of the 36 strong 2 planes that flew in, 12 planes rushed out first, and they launched the first round of attacks.

These twelve strong two planes swooped down on the Japanese fleet that was sailing south from west to south. They kept lowering their altitude during flight, and finally kept their altitude at an altitude of more than 200 meters above the sea surface, and rushed towards the Japanese fleet. From a distance, these planes were almost ready to ram the Japanese fleet.

The fleeing Japanese fleet also spotted this strong two, but the Japanese did not feel the danger approaching them step by step.

From the telescope, the commander of the Japanese fleet, Masaio Shibayama, found that it was still the hateful, bloated and ugly plane of the Chinese, not the torpedo plane, and his indignation and sadness relaxed a little.

Although almost all of his carrier-based planes were blown up by the Chinese, if the Chinese did not have torpedo planes to participate in the attack on his fleet, it would be absolutely impossible to blow up any warship in his fleet with these small bomblets of the Chinese alone. Shibayama knew that as long as his fleet went south for more than half an hour, it would be beyond the attack range of the Chinese aircraft.

However, Shibayama Masashi was still a little worried that the Chinese could find his fleet in the vast sea! And you can even make a bomb that can make steel burn! And who can guarantee that the Chinese will not drop deadly torpedoes on these bombers?

In order to be on the safe side, Shibayama Masao, while ordering the fleet to keep course and speed up, on the other hand, ordered the west side of the fleet, the escort ships such as Hyuga, Furutaka, Nachi, Haguro, Hakaze, and Akikaze, led by the Kongo-class battleship Haruna, to shoot westward and seaward with the guns on the ships.

As soon as Shibayama Masashi gave the order, the guns of the seven warships on the west side of the aircraft carrier immediately began to fire fiercely. The Japanese large-caliber naval guns were really extraordinary, and they immediately exploded huge water columns in an area of one thousand meters to the west of the fleet. This is a common tactic used by the navies of various countries to stop torpedo attacks. …,

Under the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese fleet, especially the fast speed, the gunfire of the battleship Haruna, which was at the forefront of the western flank, was the most intense.

The Haruna has a standard displacement of 32,156 tons, a length of 222.5 meters, a width of 31.02 meters, a draft of 9.72 meters, a main engine power of 136,000 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 30.5 knots, which is the fastest among Japanese battleships. What's even more terrifying is that Haruna's shipboard weapons are equipped with 8 356 mm guns, 14 152 mm guns, 12 127 mm guns, 34 25 mm guns, and a total of 68 large and small guns. Its 35-millimeter naval guns blew up a column of water more than 30 meters high.

The seven warships on the west side had nearly 300 guns combined, and they almost blew up a wall of water on the west side of the rapidly fleeing Japanese fleet.

As they got closer and closer to the Japanese fleet, the twelve Qianger lowered their altitude again, and they almost flew towards the Japanese fleet by grazing the top of the water column blown up by the Japanese ship's guns. After crossing the wall of water, the planes slammed into the nose of the plane and began to charge horizontally at the Japanese escort warship at an altitude of only 50 meters above the sea surface.

Four strong two swooped down on the battleship Haruna, and they each dropped a 100-kilogram bomb at a distance of 100 meters from the Haruna side, and then slammed the nose of the plane, and the plane flew almost close to the bridge of the Haruna.

Just when the Japanese thought that the minds of these Chinese pilots who had dropped bombs into the sea were dizzy, a miracle happened.

The moment they touched the surface of the water, the four aerial bombs that were dropped in the sea jumped violently, rushed forward several tens of meters under the strong inertia, and then bounced up again after falling, three of them hit the waterline of the Haruna, and the other rushed past the stern of the Haruna. I saw a flash of red light, followed by three deafening and violent explosions
