The communications staff officer's face turned pale and he trembled: "Heaven, heaven, flight, airplanes, many planes, all of them are Chinese planes, flying towards our fleet, ??????."

"Woo woo woo ??????" It was the sound of cannonballs falling from the sky piercing the air, and the sound made the faces of Yoshimatsu Shigetaro and others change drastically.

"Boom, boom, boom??????" The Kongo battleship shook suddenly, and Shigetaro Yoshimatsu and the others accidentally fell to the ground in the command cabin.

"Boom!" A bomb landed next to the conference room, penetrated the deck and exploded next to the conference room, the bulkheads around it were blown apart, the glass on the windows was shattered by the bomb's shock wave and scattered in all directions, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu and others let out a miserable scream one by one, apparently being taken care of by the glass shards, the commander of the Second Fleet, Kantaro Suzuki, just stood up and was shot into a sieve by the glass shards on the spot, and the others were more or less shot by the glass shards, some were seriously injured, and some were slightly injured.

Yoshimatsu Shigetaro and the others endured the pain and crawled out of the conference room, climbed out of the command cabin and saw billowing smoke and a large amount of fire rising everywhere on their own battleships on the sea, and then looked up at the sky, my God, the planes in the sky were as dense as locusts, these planes were divided into countless squads to attack the fleet, some planes threw bombs at the battleship, those bombs were denser than hens laying eggs, and the bombs exploded immediately when they landed on the deck, some were armor-piercing shells, which exploded inside the battleship after penetrating the deck, and some exploded directly on the deck, The corpses of the ship's artillery and sailors were flying everywhere, the battleship was full of fire, smoke, and blood, and the ship's gun turrets were taken care of. Quite a few turrets and barrels were blown up.

Some planes fired with airborne machine guns at the artillery and sailors on the deck of the battleship, and those planes swooped in from the bow of the battleship. Then two tongues of fire flew from both sides of the belly of the plane, and these two tongues of fire shot onto the deck of the battleship. Wherever they passed, the artillerymen and sailors suddenly fell like wheat harvesting, the machine guns were set on the deck of the battleship, the bullets shot sparks one after another, and some of the weak points of the armor were directly beaten into a sieve.

Li Fei was a bomber pilot of the Third Combat Team, he was piloting a bomber, and his companions in front of him had already begun to attack, and he had just arrived, looking at the approaching Japanese fleet. He was inexplicably excited, operating the joystick to turn the bomber slightly in one direction, and he followed the fighter in front of him to attack a target, a big guy, and he decided to attack from the bow of this big guy.

After flying to the front of the big guy, he pressed down on the control stick, and the bomber immediately dived forward and down, and when he reached the bow, he immediately pulled up the control stick, and the partner in the seat behind him immediately pulled up the bomb throwing switch. Six 50-kilogram bombs fell from the magazine, and when the bombers flew past the battleship, six bombs fell on the deck of the big guy in turn, two of which were armor-piercing. There was a violent explosion below the well that shook the battleship, and the other four bombs were flowering blasters. At the beginning, there were explosions on the deck one by one, and dozens of Japanese naval officers and men on the surrounding decks were blown away like rags. The deck was blown up to the point of potholes, and in three places there were fires.

"Boom-" At this time, there was a violent explosion inside a battleship, and it turned out that a torpedo dropped by a torpedo plane hit the location of the battleship's ammunition depot. triggered the detonation of shells in the ammunition depot, and the battleship was blown into two on the spot and began to sink slowly, and the Japanese naval officers and men on the other ships saw that it was over, it was the battleship Asahi!

Many of the officers and men of the Japanese fleet who were still alive and hiding in the cabin were constantly cursing the commander of the Combined Fleet, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu, if he hadn't ordered all the warships to be turned off, boilers turned off and anchored, how could these battleships stop on the sea like targets and be bombed by the Chinese planes?

Isn't the Japanese fleet just a group of live targets? It was because of the stupid order given by Shigetaro Yoshimatsu an hour earlier to turn off the boilers of all the ships and drop the iron anchors, that these Japanese warships could not move at all now, and even if the power rooms of some ships had begun to catch fire, it would not be possible to move the battleships for a while.

"Boom", "boom" two huge muffled noises in a row made the bow and stern of the two old battleships with relatively weak armor Mikasa and Iki were blown up, and the two old battleships were hit by an eighteen-inch torpedo, and the weak armor was an old-fashioned battleship, which was relatively backward in terms of design and protection capabilities, and these two torpedoes directly scrapped the two battleships, and huge holes appeared in the parts of the torpedo explosions, and the sea water was frantically pouring into the cabin, and they couldn't be blocked. The Japanese naval officers and sailors on all other ships could only watch as the two battleships, which had participated in the Russo-Japanese War, slowly sank.

Not to mention the fact that only the battleships were attacked and bombed, but the cruisers and destroyers of the entire Japanese fleet were attacked even more violently, with their small displacement, small ships, and large firepower, and they had to receive not only attacks from the sky, but also torpedo attacks from submarines under water.

These Japanese ships lay across the sea like dead fish, and the torpedoes fired by the submarines that Huaguo was ambushing around and the torpedoes dropped by the sky torpedo planes hit the target one by one, and almost every torpedo hit the target, with a hit rate of more than 95 percent.

Explosions were heard incessantly from the bottom of the sea, thick smoke billowed everywhere, and under the torpedo attack with such a high hit rate, the outermost cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats were torpedoed one by one.

Massacre, this is a massacre! Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was outside the command cabin with a bloody face, looking at the fleet in the sky where the Chinese planes attacked him unscrupulously, without pressure, and like a play, he was trembling all over, and he suddenly thought that he couldn't be bombed by the Chinese planes like a fool, and he immediately shouted: "Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!" ”

"General, general, I'm here!" Yamanaka Shibaji leaned on the bulkhead and limped over to agree.

Yoshimatsu Shigetaro yelled: "You can't do it, if you can still hold on, go and give an order immediately, let all the ships immediately set fire and anchor and escape from here, and let all the officers and soldiers on the ships fight back, quickly counterattack!" ”

Yamanaka Shibaji smiled bitterly: "Lord Commander, what to fight back, what do we fight back?" These Chinese planes, which are countless times more terrifying than locusts, are in the sky, we are on the sea, and we have no weapons to attack them! ”

"Yaga, Yaga!" Yoshimatsu Shigetaro immediately said: "Aren't there rifles on our battleships?" Some small ships also have heavy machine guns, so let them organize people to use rifles and machine guns to counterattack those Chinese fighters! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Yamanaka Chaiji promised to give an order in the command cabin, and at this point, he could only be a dead horse doctor.

The first wave of attacks continued, and many fighters had already completed three attacks, some fighters had already completed four dive strafing, some bombers had also completed four bombings, and more than half of the ammunition had been consumed.

After Yamanaka Shibayoshi gave the order, some ships began to light fire and anchor, and some ships began to sound gunfire, but these ships were quickly strafed and bombed, and these weak counterattacks were quickly suppressed, and the counterattacking ships were also sunk in the shortest possible time.

The early warning aircraft that was cruising in the sky soon found that there was smoke rising from the chimney of the Japanese battleship on the sea below, which was making a fire and preparing to escape, and the situation was quickly reported to Lan Rulong, who immediately ordered after hearing the report: "Order, focus on attacking those Japanese warships that are making fires, and give me the outermost Japanese ships, cripple them and can't move them, and let them surround all the Japanese warships in the middle!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After the order was issued, those ships that were on fire and the outermost ships of the Japanese fleet were attacked in a focused manner, and the destroyers and mine-striking ships of small tonnage had little protection at all, and under such intensive bombing and torpedo attacks, before the first wave of attacks was completed, more than two-thirds of the destroyers and mine-striking ships had been sunk, more than half of the cruisers were seriously injured, and one-third of the cruisers had sunk, and the Japanese fleet, which originally had sixty-seven warships, had so far, There are already only forty-one battleships still floating on the sea, and almost every one of the remaining forty-one battleships has received damage from different degrees, some of the decks have been blown up beyond recognition, and some of the battleships have no complete turrets, and almost every battleship has been hit by one torpedo, and some battleships have been hit by two or three torpedoes, and the survivability has been greatly reduced, after all, who can't hit a live target?

For example, the battleship Kongo was hit by two torpedoes, its underwater armor was too weak to withstand the attack of an eighteen-inch torpedo, and now one side of it began to tilt, and the Japanese naval sailors on the battleship were trying to drain the water in the hope of saving the most advanced Japanese warship.

For example, the battleships Hiei and Kirishima were also taken care of, and each of them was hit with three torpedoes, but this was because the caliber of the torpedoes dropped by the torpedo machine was not large enough, and if it was a 533 mm torpedo, I am afraid that the probability of sinking after hitting three torpedoes would be more than seventy percent.
