Although the Yamato was huge, the ship was not as powerful as it seemed, and first of all, in order to carry more aircraft, Japan had to prepare larger hangars, house more staff, and stock up on more fuel and bombs. At the same time, in order for the behemoth to run fast enough, the power plant needs to be increased.

Calculated in all aspects, there is not much difference between the Yamato's defense capability and the aircraft carrier of 30,000 or 40,000 tons, and because the Zuizuru was sunk by the United States, Japan stepped up the speed of construction, and part of the watertight compartment of the Yamato was not installed, or even sealed at all.

After six torpedoes hit the side of the Yamato, the result was quite terrifying, with six huge holes constantly flooding into the seawater, and the huge hull quickly rolled sideways. At this time, the Chinese dive bombers had also launched an attack, and the huge body of the Yamato was the perfect target.

It was easier than the usual exercises and training, and a series of bombs fell, and the entire deck of the Yamato seemed to be turned into a sea of fire, and all the planes and fuel on the deck burned, and the loss of personnel was extremely heavy. After a dozen bombs fell on the deck, the deck was completely blown open, and the entire Yamato was like a Japanese geisha stripped naked, and the fire quickly spread to the inside of the warship.

The Yamato itself stockpiled a large amount of fuel and bombs, and at this time they all exploded together. The destructive power was beyond imagination, and from a distance, the Yamato looked like a torch on the sea, filled with black smoke that exceeded hundreds of meters. The Japanese soldiers on the warship were enjoying the treatment of ice and fire, with sea water pouring in below and fire invading above.

Under the attack from both sides, the Yamato could no longer bear it, and quickly began to split into several sections, sinking towards the bottom of the sea. The Yamato is named after the nation of Japan. It can be seen that the Japanese attach great importance to this warship. The Yamato does have something to boast about. The tonnage and aircraft carrying capacity are the largest of all active aircraft carriers in the world, and the Japanese once called him an unsinkable ship, a moving island.

However, the brutal facts turned out that the highly-anticipated warship was not as powerful as it seemed. It was not unsinkable, on the contrary, it was more vulnerable to attack than other warships, and the sinking of the Yamato was an unprecedented blow to the Japanese Navy.

Faced with this cruel result, Yamamoto Fifty-six was already stunned. Seeing that the Yamato was irretrievable, Yamamoto Isoroku was forcibly dragged to a lifeboat by his men and fled from the sinking Yamato. Although Yamamoto barely survived his life, he only felt as if half of his heart had been removed at once.

Compared with death, the humiliating life is more terrible, and the sinking of the Yamato indicates the failure of Japan's sneak attack, not only the Yamato, but other aircraft carriers are also in crisis.

Just as the attack on the Yamato was launched, another strike formation had already turned to the Shinano next to it, which was also a behemoth almost identical to the Yamato. This time it was the dive bombers that kicked off the attack first.

The Japanese Navy aboard the Shinano had already seen the Yamato's miserable appearance, and they did everything in their power to resist the Chinese offensive. The tonnage of the Shinano was huge, and the Japanese also installed a lot of anti-aircraft fire, and now the fire is in full swing, and Chinese planes are constantly being shot down.

However, this was only a dying struggle, and a bomber successfully dropped a bomb on the bow of the Shinano, destroying two firing points located in the bow of the ship in an instant, and after missing these two, the Shinano's fire net finally showed a hole.

This loophole was quickly seized by other aircraft, and two more bombers dropped bombs on the bow of the ship, and the deck of the Shinano was instantly opened first, and the explosion severely damaged the power system located in the bow of the ship, and the speed of the Shinano dropped rapidly, while the fire and explosion in the bow of the ship continued.

Japanese aircraft carriers have always focused on attack and despised defense, but in fact, Japan's fighter planes are also a problem, and they are all thin-skinned and stuffed. The explosion in the bow of the Shinano quickly affected the inside, and the violent explosion broke the armor on the outside, and the sea water poured in continuously, and the bow quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The speed of the Shinano aircraft carrier dropped to below five knots in an instant, and all the Japanese soldiers on the warship felt the danger, and many of them panicked, and the Shinano made violent explosions from time to time, each of which was like a hammer, and all kinds of things smashed into the hearts of the Japanese, and their end had come.

At this moment, two more torpedo planes threw torpedoes that hit the side of the ship near the bow of the Shinano, and the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the Chinese planes spared no effort to attack this weak point, and soon the diameter of the hole in the bow of the ship exceeded three meters, and thousands of tons of seawater continued to pour into it through this hole.

The balance of the Shinano was completely broken, the bow of the ship was almost sunk underwater, and the stern was raised high. Suddenly, there was a tremor in the keel, followed by a click, and the massive Shinano quickly broke in two and sank to the bottom of the sea.

In less than an hour after the battle, two of Japan's largest warships sank one after another, and hundreds of carrier-based planes sank to the bottom of the sea with the warships, which were the essence of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Yamamoto Fifty-six had already fled to the Taiho at this time, and watched the two giant ships sink to the bottom of the sea, Yamamoto Fifty-Six's face first flushed abnormally, and then opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and as the blood spit out, his face quickly turned gray.

The former strong body can no longer hold on, swaying, if there is no one else to support, the commander of this combined fleet will completely fall, at this time Yamamoto is completely sober, he has been a gambler all his life, but he completely lost in this most important game.

He has fallen from the top of the god platform and has gone from being a hero of Japan to a complete loser. The Japanese have always been indifferent, and when they gain power, they will bow to their feet, but once they lose power, those small people will unceremoniously step on your head, and the same is true for the people, and the same is true for the Japanese country.

However, at this time, in addition to being desolate, Yamamoto Fifty-six also had another thought, that is, he must try his best to maintain the combat effectiveness of the combined fleet. Japan is an island country and occupies countless colonies, if they lose their sea supremacy, their colonies will be out of control in an instant, and the troops stationed on the islands can only sit back and wait, and Japan will be completely finished.

Now that the first wave of China's attack has just ended, Yamamoto Isoroku knows very well that the next attack is not far away, he hurriedly ordered the entire Combined Fleet to retreat, and those planes that are still attacking the Ryukyus have not returned.

Naturally, the Chinese side would not let go of this good opportunity to beat the water dogs, and after the first wave of attacks received results, the second wave of aircraft was also quickly dispatched, and the overwhelming number of planes slaughtered the Japanese Combined Fleet, at this time Yamamoto Isoroku had already ordered all the remaining carrier-based aircraft to take to the air to meet the enemy.

The two sides fought again, but the demoralized Japanese had lost their former bravery, they rushed to the battle, and these pilots also knew that the Japanese fleet was fleeing for their lives, and they could be abandoned if they did not return to the warship quickly, so no normal Japanese could still be as brave as before.

Soon the Japanese blocking planes were overwhelmed, and several planes even flew into the sky above the Chinese fleet by mistake, and just as they were about to land, they were all shot down by the Chinese frigates with anti-aircraft guns.

After breaking through the obstruction of the Japanese planes, the Chinese carrier-based planes finally caught up with the Japanese fleet, which was frantically fleeing.

Escaping is also a matter that requires technology, and now Yamamoto is thinking about whether he can get out safely, but how to keep more of the essence, and now the Japanese still have three aircraft carriers left, Xianghe, Feilong and Daiho, of which Feilong was built earlier and is the slower.

Yamamoto left the Wyvern at the end and acted as a target to attract firepower, while the other injured warships were also left behind, and the rest of the warships covered the Shozuru and Taiho to flee quickly.

A game of chase was staged above the sea, and the Chinese carrier-based aircraft broke through the Japanese planes and caught up again, but at this time the Chinese side also fell for Yamamoto's tricks and focused their attacks on the Wyvern, which fell to the end.

After withstanding more than a dozen bombs and torpedoes, the aircraft carrier also sank to the bottom of the sea, but the Chinese pilots realized that the aircraft carrier was nothing more than an empty shell, and the planes on it were long gone, and it was just a target to delay the opportunity and attract firepower.

After sinking the Flying Dragon, the Chinese carrier-based aircraft finally caught up with the Japanese Combined Fleet with great effort, and the aircraft carriers Taiho and Xianghe were in sight. But the bad thing is that the plane is about to run out of fuel, so it can only hurriedly drop the bomb and then quickly retreat.

In this round of attacks, only the Taiho suffered a torpedo, which did not cause serious effects, and the two aircraft carriers desperately escaped.

It is a big pity that the Japanese aircraft carrier was not completely annihilated, but Chen Shaokuan was not in a hurry, he knew very well that the direction of the Japanese aircraft carrier's escape was the Japanese mainland, and the injured warships could only be repaired in the shipyards on the mainland, and the lost pilots could only be replenished if they returned to the mainland.

In this way, there was a vacuum in Japan's power in the Pacific Ocean for the time being, and the vast South Seas colonies were all exposed, which was simply a gift from heaven, Chen Shaokuan directly ordered the fleet that had just experienced a big war to attack directly, and the target of the attack was Truk, an important fortress in the Japanese Sea!

The movements of the Chinese Navy are still unclear to Japan, but when the news of the sinking of the three aircraft carriers Yamato, Shinano, and Flying Dragon reached Tokyo, Japan, the entire Japanese top brass was stunned, and they could not believe how such a huge warship was sunk, and some people even suspected that this was a fraudulent telegram deliberately sent by the Chinese side to deliberately undermine Japanese morale.

But it really can't be fake, Japan finally confirmed the news of the defeat, and the Tokyo base camp collapsed in an instant, although it was still summer, but these people all felt the bitter cold of winter, like falling into an ice cellar, from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
