The carrier-based aircraft group of the Chinese Navy in the sky began to disperse, and 48 H5C "Osprey" torpedo attack aircraft began to lose altitude, and finally broke through from a low altitude, and then launched an attack on the capital ships of the US and British Navy. The 48 H5D 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers continued to pull up, and they would break through from a high altitude until they flew above the capital ships of the US and British navies and then began to dive. The last 48 F5B 'Puffin' fighters accelerated to the skies above the combined U.S.-British fleet, preparing to attract enemy anti-aircraft fire and create opportunities for torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers. After all, an aircraft carrying heavy bombs and torpedoes is far less flexible than a fighter, and the probability of being hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire is much greater, and if the fighter attracts the enemy's anti-aircraft fire first, then torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers are much easier to get!

"Oh God! The planes of the Chinese are coming! Seeing the Chinese Navy's carrier-based planes rushing towards them, the officers and men of the US Navy exclaimed. Although they had heard countless times about the power of the Chinese's aircraft, this was the first time they had seen such a sharp weapon attack!

48 H5C "Puffin" fighters accelerated towards the combined fleet of the United States and Britain. Seeing the dense planes flying towards him, the battleships below were even more chaotic. The officers and men of the United States and Britain, who were attacked by Chinese planes for the first time, were panicked!

"Fire! Knock down those yellow-skinned monkeys' planes! "The captain of a light cruiser, unable to withstand the tremendous pressure, gave the first order to open fire. Several 37-mm guns and several boats of high machine guns on this light cruiser immediately began to fire at the air!

"Tom tom The high shè cannon and the high shè machine gun immediately began to roar. A chain of orange fireballs and crimson tracer bullets appeared in the sky. It's like a web of fire!

After this light cruiser opened fire. Other warships of the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy also opened fire. All battleships, from battleships to destroyers, joined the anti-air attack. The dense firepower formed an impenetrable network of fire in the sky.

"Give me death! You yellow-skinned monkeys! "A black man, armed with a high shè machine gun, opened heavy fire on the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy that was flying towards their warship. The red bullets went at high speed, but they could not hit the target, and almost all of the officers and soldiers who had never participated in the actual combat were chasing those planes with their weapons in their hands! But when the bullets arrived. The plane had already flown by, which created the sight of bullets and shells chasing the ass of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, but not being able to hit the target!

"Da Da Da!" The Chinese Navy's warplanes also fought back, and these F5B 'Puffin' fighters swept the enemy's anti-aircraft gun emplacements with aviation machine guns in the nose, and although the aviation machine guns were not powerful enough to inflict damage on these ships, there was really no problem in dealing with those who cāo anti-aircraft weapons. The fragile human body simply can't withstand the shè of machine gun bullets!

"Dangdang!" The dense bullets hit the shield of the anti-aircraft gun position, and several US Navy soldiers who had not had time to dodge were also killed on the spot, and the anti-aircraft gun stopped firing because of this!

The Chinese Navy's F5B Puffin fighter jets are like light jīng spirits, flying and weaving through the seemingly dense nets of fire formed by the anti-aircraft fire of U.S. warships. But for fighters, it can pass through lightly and unscathed. And it is also able to wait for an opportunity to attack the anti-aircraft fire of the US and British navies.

Inside the bridge of the battleship 'Pennsylvania', William. Admiral Benson clenched the binoculars in his hands, his eyes chasing the flying planes, and he wanted to shoot them all down. However, the U.S. Navy, which had no actual combat experience, was very bad, wasting a lot of shells and bullets, but not hurting a single hair of those planes.

At this time, when the F5B "Puffin" fighters attracted the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, the H5C "Osprey" torpedo attack aircraft that advanced from a low altitude and the H5D "Fish Eagle" dive bombers that entered from a high altitude also began to attack. This is the killer weapon of the combined fleet of the US and British Navy! Fighters cannot sink the capital ships of the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy, and only torpedoes and heavy aerial bombs can sink the capital ships of the opposing side!

The huge size of the US Navy's Pennsylvania-class battleships has undoubtedly become the first target of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft. Six Pennsylvania-class battleships were attacked by dozens of torpedo attack planes and dive bombers, and the flagship battleship USS Pennsylvania was the first target!

William, who was observing the battle by the window on the side of the bridge. Admiral Benson saw four planes rushing towards the battleship Pennsylvania from a height close to the sea. William. Admiral Benson can clearly see the torpedoes hanging under the belly of these four planes through the guò telescope!

"Damn! On the left, there are four torpedo attack aircraft on the left, and these planes will fall first! "William. Admiral Benson roared loudly. Although the waterline armor of the 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships was up to 330 mm thick, it was equally likely to be penetrated if it was hit by a torpedo!

At this time, the anti-aircraft fire on the battleship 'Pennsylvania' was attracted by several F5B 'Puffin' fighters who were sweeping them. Hear William. After Admiral Benson's order, these anti-aircraft fires hurriedly adjusted their orientation and prepared to attack the torpedo attack planes coming from the left. It's just that it's too late. At this time, these four H5C "Osprey" torpedo attack planes had already broken through to a distance of a thousand meters from the battleship "Pennsylvania"! Four 450-mm medium torpedoes were dropped by a torpedo attack aircraft, sank a few meters into the sea, and then rose to the surface, and then rushed towards the battleship "Pennsylvania" at a speed of up to 30 knots!

"Damn, get out of it now!" William. Admiral Benson roared!

A distance of a thousand meters takes only a minute for a torpedo reaching a speed of thirty knots. Four torpedoes fanned towards the battleship Pennsylvania, and it was almost impossible to evade the 195-meter-long hull of the Pennsylvania in a minute and completely dodge the four torpedoes!

The captain of the Pennsylvania immediately began to turn to the left, trying to aim the bow in the direction of the torpedo attack, in order to reduce the area hit. The officers and sailors on the port side of the battleship Pennsylvania also began to fire at the sea with their secondary and speed guns in an attempt to destroy the incoming torpedoes. But against torpedoes at high speed under water, these attacks do not have any effect at all!

A minute passed quickly, and the battleship Pennsylvania, despite its evasion, was not able to avoid it completely. Of the four torpedoes, two shè were missing, and one torpedo got under the belly of the battleship Pennsylvania because of the depth fixation. Only one torpedo hit the bow of the battleship 'Pennsylvania'.

The torpedo warhead containing 120 kilograms of explosives exploded, and the violent explosion caused the entire battleship to shake violently. Admiral Benson is no exception!

However, just after getting up on the ground, William. The admiral immediately asked loudly: "Report the loss!" Is there any damage to the hull! ”

A minute later, the captain asked William. Admiral Benson reported. The underwater armor was blown through a hole of more than one meter, and the damage management personnel are currently plugging the hole. However, even if it can't be blocked, the watertight compartment can be closed through guò to prevent the battleship from sinking due to excessive flooding. Of course, this will also have a certain effect on the battleship's xìng, but it will be slight and will not affect the continuation of the battle.

Such a loss made William. Admiral Benson breathed a sigh of relief. If the flagship had been sunk at the very beginning of the battle, it would have become a joke! It's just that he seems to have forgotten that the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy is still continuing, and the battle has just begun, and the 'Pennsylvania' has dodged the initial attack, and may not be able to avoid the follow-up attack!

Just in William. Admiral Benson had just breathed a sigh of relief when a shrill whistling sound sounded over the battleship 'Pennsylvania' that seemed to pierce people's eardrums!

Four 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers had entered the dive channel and started their dive attack. They swooped down from a height of a thousand meters, and the screaming sound from the sounders on the wings was like the devil's laughter!

"Avoid! Turn right now! "The captain of the battleship 'Pennsylvania' immediately changed his face at the moment of the whistle, and gave the order to evade it urgently. The huge battleship swayed from side to side like a frightened whale on the sea, trying to dodge the planes that swooped down from the sky, and everyone on the battleship clung to the handrails so as not to be thrown out by the battleship that was evading!

At an altitude of only 400 meters from the battleship Pennsylvania, four Fish Eagle dive bombers dropped aerial bombs. Heavy aerial bombs weighing 500 kg fell with a roar.

Two of the four bombs fell into the sea, splashing two jets of water that soared into the sky. But the other two fell on the foredeck of the battleship 'Pennsylvania'. An aerial bomb smashed through the armor of the foredeck, blowing a large hole in the foredeck with a diameter of several meters! Another aerial bomb hit turret No. 2 on the foredeck. Despite the fact that the turret's armor was 330 mm thick, it was smashed through. The bomb exploded and destroyed the entire turret! (To be continued......)
