When the carrier-based aircraft formation over the Magong Naval Base began to return, the air raid on the Zuoying Military Port was also at the last moment, and the six-ton bomb carrying capacity of the Cerberus was more than twice that of the Pterodactyl, and the Soryu aircraft carrier and the two battleships Kongo and Haruna that were still struggling to hold out in the port had already been hit by several bombs, and the Kumano and the two heavy cruisers Mogami, who had surrounded them in an effort to form dense anti-aircraft fire, were also on fire, and several plumes of smoke went straight into the sky, which also had a great impact on the bombing of the Cerberus. The pilots had to dodge even thicker columns of smoke in the smoke, and the grenadiers simply could not see the position of the enemy ships on the sea.

This rekindled the hope of Jizaburo Ozawa to keep these warships for the empire, and under the command of Vice Admiral Ozawa, the battleships that could still move in the port moved to the exit of the military port, and the battleships and heavy cruisers bombarded the aircraft carrier Wyvern, which had lost power in the channel. As long as the channel is opened, the remaining warships can sail to the vast sea surface of the South China Sea, and the freer evasion space is enough for them to support the arrival of other airfields around them, and the navy of the Han Dynasty will inevitably retreat due to ammunition and range, which is the only chance to avoid the total annihilation of the southern fleet.

But Commander Ozawa made a fatal mistake, and the unified action did allow the thick smoke caused by the fire and the deliberately cast smoke to block the view of the Cerberus who were bombarding horizontally above them. It's just that the Japanese forgot that in the second offensive of the Han Royal Air Force, it was not only these forty-eight Cerberus, but also a considerable number of Cerberus carried not aerial bombs, but even more terrible torpedoes in their ammunition compartments!

The bluefin tuna is the latest type of torpedo produced by the base laboratory, including underwater and airdrop, the former is smaller and lighter, and is dedicated to submarines; The latter is designed for aircraft airdrops, and the bluefin tuna-B with a total weight of one ton and 500 kilograms of ammunition alone is a meal specially prepared for large enemy surface ships. It's just that compared to the bluefin tuna sashimi, which is a delicacy of the Han Dynasty, the taste of the B-type torpedo is a little too bloody.

When Jizaburo Ozawa commanded the fleet to bombard the Wyvern, these Cerberus who had been hovering high in the air and waiting for their time quietly lowered their altitude, and on the south side of the port, small umbrellas like beautiful dandelions spread out in the sky, gently swaying with the sea breeze. The little umbrellas fell into the water and were wet by the splashing waves, which made the cruel battlefield more indescribably poignant. But in the eyes of the sailors of the Japanese Southern Fleet, what kind of poignancy is that? That's just miserable. Countless screams rang out at the same time - "Torpedo! ”

Vice Admiral Ozawa, who was observing the course of the Kongo, collapsed into the command room when he heard the screams of the sailors.

"General, general, wake up General!" The attachés shouted to wake up the commander, but Ozawa preferred to continue to be unconscious, and the moment he just stood in front of the command platform again, there was only a buzzing sound in his ears that was shaken by two loud noises in a row, and he saw that the staff officers' mouths were moving, but he couldn't hear anything!

It's nothing if you can't hear it, how happy it would be if you couldn't see anything? The Kumano Heavy Cruiser and the Haruna battleships, which were guarding both sides of the Kongo, exploded violently, and the part below the waterline was hit by a torpedo, and even the battleship could not bear it, let alone being hit by three or four torpedoes at the same time. The explosion of the boiler and the detonation of the ammunition depot were even more deadly, which would leave the sailors on board without any chance of escape.

Ozawa Jizaburo closed his eyes in pain, "Send a telegram to the commander of the combined fleet, the Han army aircraft are advanced, all the southern fleet will be martyred, I hope that the empire will step up the research and development of jet fighters, and I hope that Commander Yamamoto will be able to bloody the shame of the navy in the future!" ”

No one knows whether this farewell telegram was sent or not, because in the second round of bluefin tuna attacks later, the last hope of the Japanese Southern Fleet, the aircraft carrier Soryu and the Kongo, were directly blown into several pieces, and the Southern Fleet was completely destroyed. The best ending was the light aircraft carrier Ruifeng sitting at the bottom, all the personnel on board were evacuated, and the Cerberus politely threw two bombs to send the second cargo converted from a submarine carrier to the end.

The commander of the Cerberus bomber formation of the Air Force shouted next to the communication microphone on his helmet: "Old wolf, send a telegram to the command, all the goals are done, so that the Navy will not use it!" ”

"Roger, by the way, how many sheep will you send?"

"How many? You look at it, there's nothing valuable, send a group! ”

Telegram "Sheep! "It means that the bombing went smoothly, and the number of sheep characters represents the number of enemy ships sunk and destroyed. A few days later, His Majesty saw the photo of the left camp after the air raid at the military port, and nodded, "The telegram of the air force has no water, it is indeed a flock of sheep!" ”

The Cerberus formation began to withdraw, and the carrier-based planes of the Northern Fleet, which had received orders from the headquarters, had been reloaded and were about to take off, and they came to an emergency halt -- the third air raid was stopped by the command, and the pterodactyls on the deck were pushed onto the take-off and landing planes and retracted to the hangar, and four Linglong reconnaissance planes were put on the table.

After working for a long time, Major General Long Zhou, who was finally eaten alone by the Air Force, was a little unhappy, and before he ordered to return to the plane, he still ordered the release of four Linglong -- we can't just listen to the vernacular of those guys in the Air Force, we have to go and see for ourselves.

Half an hour later, Ling Long sent back the news: there were no more big boats to bomb, but there were many lifeboats.

The big-bellied commander scolded: "Loser, is that thing worth the money of a bomb?" ”

Long Zhou didn't realize that the lifeboat was indeed worthless, but the sailors on the boat were priceless. If, according to the original plan, the carrier-based planes that took off again form a third air strike, the death ratio of sailors in Zuoying Port will be greatly increased, and it will be a great obstacle to the reconstruction of the Japanese fleet.

Now, from top to bottom, the Han Empire is immersed in the joy of the success of the air raid, and even Zhong Yi didn't realize that the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Southern Fleet did not die too much in the air raid because they didn't have time to take off. The Dahan Navy missed an opportunity to hold the Japanese Navy under its feet.

However, in any case, except for a heavy cruiser Suzuki, which was lucky to escape before the air raid, the other large warships were all destroyed, and the Fifth Fleet at the Magong base was completely destroyed. The Combined Fleet lost half of its main warships in this air raid, and the sinking of the latest Soryu-class aircraft carriers Soryu and Wyvern, as well as the entire "jade shattering" of the 22nd Air Wing, greatly damaged the naval aviation units. Japanese naval circles called the air raid "five? Five Naval Disaster Day".

After this battle, there was a huge gap in the performance of the fighters of the two armies, which made Japan firm in its determination to eliminate propeller fighters and accelerate the development of jet engines.
