The HS293 air-to-ship missile, using radio-controlled guidance, was developed by the Germans as early as five years ago as the first generation, and after many years of refinement, it has now been developed to the J type. In this attack on Artura, the Soviet and German air forces sent the first wave of 60 four-shelled bombardment planes to the island, all of which were equipped with such bombs.

At this time, the large American warship that suffered a nuclear attack had just barely boiled up its boiler and stored enough steam pressure to drive the battleship, and was trying to get away from this island of death, which had been repeatedly attacked by nuclear attacks, with wounds all over its body.

At this time, the US fleet had lost the ability to fly its planes because the deck of the aircraft carrier had been severely deformed and damaged by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, and the anti-aircraft guns had also been seriously damaged in the nuclear explosion.

Since it was dark and the four-round bombardment flew very smoothly all the way, and was not intercepted by enemy planes on the way. And after the successive nuclear explosions, the air defense system of the Americans was destroyed by the blow of the nuclear explosion, and the radio contact was also interrupted for a long time under the impact of the EMP. The four-round bombardment flew over the island of Artura completely unintercepted.

Knowing in advance that there would be a series of nuclear explosions here, the pilots wore heavy anti-glare sunglasses during the flight. In the air, the bright light produced by the four nuclear explosions, which is dazzling even from a distance of 100 kilometers, is at the same time the best "navigation coordinates".

When the bombardment flew over the island of Atura, the smoke and gas of the four nuclear explosions had not yet dissipated. The bombardment ventured through a dangerous cloud of nuclear radiation, lowering the aircraft to a low altitude of 1,500 meters.

Although there are many American ships in the port of Atura. However, the anti-aircraft weapons were basically completely destroyed in the nuclear explosion, and they were no longer able to organize an effective anti-aircraft fire network, so the German heavy bombers could reduce their altitude with impunity. In order to avoid inhalation of toxic radioactive dust gases. All pilots on board wear special breathing apparatus to operate.

At 4:45, the first HS293J bomb detached from the bomb rack on the belly of ME26 (Crab) 4.

The four-round heavy bombardment, each carrying two HS293 air-to-ship missiles, HS293J, each weighing one ton and containing nearly eight hundred kilograms, appeared over the island of Atura. By the time they reached the skies over the island of Atura, the EMP storm caused by the nuclear explosion had already dissipated, and it was a good time for it to show its talents.

Sixty four-engine heavy bombers entered in turn. Circling over the head of the scarred American fleet, one after another painted air-to-ship missiles broke off the pylons and flew to the target under the radio control of the crew.

Without interference, this air-to-ship missile hits up to fifty percent of the way! And today, due to the fact that the air defense forces of US ships are almost completely wiped out. Coalition aircraft were able to arbitrarily lower their altitude to attack those at sea who suffered nuclear internal injuries. A faltering warship, a higher rate of hits.

The attack lasted an hour, and a total of 81 of the 120 HS293s dropped by sixty four-round heavy bombardments hit the target. Those that can enjoy air-to-ship missile strikes are all large warships. Aircraft carriers and battleships, which had survived four nuclear strikes with great difficulty, were the first targets to be attacked.

After the first wave of sixty four-round bombardments flew away, there was an interval of less than five minutes, and another wave of the same number of four-rounds bombardment arrived on the battlefield. The same number of HS293 air-to-air missiles were dropped, and then the third wave. The fourth wave

The attack continued until noon that day, and not only on Artura Island, but also on the alert ships and a small number of escort aircraft carriers in the surrounding waters were attacked by planes taking off from airfields on nearby Soviet islands after dawn. In addition, in the early morning of 4 July, two Japanese aircraft carriers under the command of Li Huamei and Yamato Nadeshiko Jiling, plus two British aircraft carriers, formed a fast task force, and on the morning of that day, they also flew fighter planes 500 kilometers away from Artura Island to launch an attack on a group of US escort aircraft carriers swimming around the periphery of Artura Island.

In the past few days, on the surface, the Eurasian joint navy has gathered all its main forces 2,000 kilometers to the south to confront the US navy, but this is just a decoy to confuse the opponent. At that time, he had already approached the Soviet coastline with a detachment formed with the British, approached the Artura Islands from the west, and then, with the cooperation of land-based aircraft, attacked the US alert fleet on the west side of the outskirts of Artura Island.

After completing the escort mission of the second wave of nuclear attack planes last night, Li Huamei did not fly back to the land-based airfield where the plane took off. Instead, they flew directly to the southwest, looking for the sneak attack fleet that was quietly approaching at the time. After finding the fleet, she abandoned the plane in the air and teleported back to her hostel, the Musashi. Then she teamed up with her "daughter" Yamato Nadeshiko to command the carrier-based aircraft of the British and Japanese forces to raid a U.S. escort aircraft fleet with ten Casablanca-class aircraft carriers, and successfully inflicted heavy damage on this fleet.

After the destruction of this fleet, the risk of interception in the air by the allied four-engine bombers taking off from Comandor Island was greatly reduced, and they could continue to dispatch four-engine bombers to repeatedly pursue and kill the heavily damaged American fleet.

The fleet then moved more aggressively into the route between Komandor and Artura to provide carrier-based fighter escort cover for heavy bombardment attacks on the island.

On the morning of 4 July, from 4:45 a.m. to 10 p.m., the US fleet, which had been tragically attacked by nuclear weapons, was repeatedly "brushed" by the adversary with air-to-ship missiles for five hours after dawn, and was attacked by 422 rounds of HS293 before and after, of which more than 300 rounds of HS293 hit the target.

By the time 10 a.m. coalition planes stopped their attacks and withdrew from the battle, the main forces of the four Pacific Fleets ceased to exist.

All eight Independence-class aircraft carriers were fatally damaged, either directly sunk or "punished" by torpedoes fired by their own destroyers.

Of the twenty Essex-class carriers, only one was considered to have a "salvage possibility" to avoid being sunk by the Essex side, and the rest were fortunate to escape, and the rest had a similar fate to the Independence-class carriers.

The 34 Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers were all sunk in battle, and the protection of these fragile escort aircraft carriers was very poor, and those who were lucky not to sink in the nuclear explosion had already been blown up to the point of only one breath, and then they were hit by an HS293 gun with a charge of nearly 800 kilograms, where could they still live.

As for the five battleships, the Montana, the most powerful battleship of the US military, was the key target of public criticism, and as many as 15 air-to-ship missiles were hit, and the surface of the ship's hull was blown to shreds, but it miraculously insisted on floating on the surface of the sea. However, due to the severity of the injury, the power system was damaged, and he could not move, and was finally "punished" by his own destroyer.

This strongest battleship in the United States, until it sank, his main guns did not have a chance to shoot a single shell at the opponent's battleship, and he was so humiliated that he was "punished" by his own people.

The fate of the other four Iowa-class battleships was not much better.

The Iowa ate five air-to-ship missiles, the turret was all blown up, and the ship's buildings were blown to pieces, but the power system was basically undamaged, and finally escaped from the battlefield at a speed of 26 knots with a wound all over its body, but unfortunately, just when the ship thought it could escape to death, at one o'clock in the afternoon, it was attacked by a German submarine one hundred and twenty kilometers east of Artura Island, and was hit by three torpedoes and sank. In this massacre against the US Navy, the British and German navies also made many submarines, and before the war, the two countries arranged more than 70 submarines in their hands to set up a large ambush circle in the waters east of Artura Island, and they also gained a lot that day.

The USS Missouri was hit by seven air-to-ship missiles, which unfortunately detonated the ammunition depot and finally sank in two.

The USS New Jersey was the luckiest one, the least damaged during the nuclear explosion, only six air-to-ship missiles were hit by the air attack, almost all the facilities on the ship were destroyed, and the three main gun turrets were also blown up, but the power system and character explosion were always undamaged, and finally escaped the pursuit of the coalition forces and survived by relying on the high speed of 29 knots and the cover of a small number of fighters coming from other directions. However, the ship was so badly injured that it was impossible to regain its combat effectiveness without lying in the dock for eight (crab) or nine months.

The Wisconsin was the worst of the worst, with 12 HS293s of 45,000 tons of body bones, the last of which detonated his former ammunition depot before the ship exploded in two like the USS Missouri and sank into the sea.

The fate of the rough-skinned battleships is still like this, and the relatively fragile small ships such as cruisers and destroyers, under the blow of the HS293, are not to mention more. They have already suffered "nuclear internal injuries," and they can even be scrapped if they eat one more air-to-ship missile.

During the battle on 4 July, four of the 12 main fleets of the US Navy were basically "dismissed," including those that sank in the nuclear explosion and were sunk by a sneak attack by aircraft and submarines of the adversary navy's aircraft carriers on the periphery; in the battle that day, the US Navy lost a total of four battleships, 19 Essex-class aircraft carriers, all eight Independence-class aircraft carriers, 46 frigates, 24 cruisers, and 94 destroyers, with a total tonnage of nearly 2 million tons. This figure is a staggering 3 million tons.

As for the number of naval officers and men killed that day, the total number was more than 100,000, and this does not include the more than 20,000 defenders and staff who died in the nuclear explosion on the island of Artura. If we include the sailors who were exposed to nuclear radiation that day, inhaled nuclear fallout, and were about to contract nuclear radiation sickness, the US Navy lost nearly 150,000 men on this day.

Such huge naval losses are enough to go down in the annals of human history and become a record that will be difficult for future generations to break.

July 4 is the National Day of the United States. And after this day, he will also become a day of shame that the US Navy will never forget. More than 100,000 people lost their lives in a single day, and even land wars are extremely rare. After the news reached the United States, the Wall Street stock market and the international exchange rate of the US dollar suddenly plummeted on the same day, and the attitude of the United States towards the Pacific War was also at the crossroads because of this fiasco, and it was faced with the difficult choice of whether to fight or to peace.
