Two bombs exploded at the stern of the Monte Cristo, and the waves surged up, surged onto the deck and flowed down the deck back into the sea. The cruiser Monte Cristo still fled quickly, apparently unharmed with the propellers. After Gao Xiang finished dropping the bombs, Zhanfei flew to the plane and dropped two more bombs, but they were not hit. Gao Xiang was in a hurry to turn the plane around quickly, and this time he pulled the fighter very low, almost touching the rear deck.

Two bombs whizzed down, this attack did not disappoint Gao Xiang, one bomb accurately hit the vital part of the propeller, and the other bomb hit the rear deck and exploded. As a result, the shock wave of the explosion spread to the fighter, and the fighter rushed forward sharply, and a puff of green smoke came out of its tail. At the moment of the explosion, Gao Xiang felt a shock to the fighter, and when Gao Xiang pulled up the control stick and flew to a certain height, the engine stopped working. Gao Xiang immediately opened the fuel drain valve and quickly poured out the fuel.

"Pay attention later, the fighter plane was hit by shrapnel, I am going to make a forced landing on the sea, you must hold on to the fixed object so as not to be injured." Gao Xiang shouted loudly, quickly adjusted the tail, searched the sea surface and prepared for a forced landing. At this time, he suddenly found that the enemy ship was standing still on the sea, and he decided to make a forced landing on the enemy ship without a quick idea. It can be said that the artist is bold, Gao Xiang aimed at the tail of the record, staggered straight to the deck. The battleship Monte Cristo has a total length of 258 meters, a width of 22.5 meters, and a space distance of less than 4 meters from the narrowest point on both sides.

The aft deck was very empty, and the landing of fighters was quite smooth. Gliding forward for dozens of meters, the wings on both sides were quickly hit, and when the fuselage stopped moving, the wings on both sides had been scraped off, the nose wheel landing gear was also twisted, and the fuselage was planted crookedly to stop advancing. The continuous concussions made Gao Xiang a little dizzy. Less. Gao Xiang came to his senses and turned around and shouted, "How are you two?" "Captain, we're fine, just a little dizzy and bruised." "You move the heavy machine gun to the cab right away."

Captain Gregory of the USS Monte Cristo. Received a report from his subordinates that the propeller had been hit and the battleship could not sail. When Grigory was at a loss, a shocking scene appeared, only to see a battleship swoop down crookedly, and landed on the aft deck, and with a dazzling collision, the fighter plane actually stopped on the right side. Everyone was stupid. Wide-eyed and small-eyed, I don't know what to do. After a long time, Grigory came to his senses and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, immediately arrest the driver." ”

The sailors did not have rifles in their hands, only the officers had pistols. Several officers quickly ran out of the command cabin. Gao Xiang commanded the two crew members to set up the heavy machine gun in the cab, and the figure of the American sailor appeared in front of the nose. Two of the officers had pistols in their hands, and the other sailors had axes, clubs, and the like. I saw the U.S. Navy coming up cautiously. Gao Xiang ordered: "Shoot immediately." Don't hurt people and scare them. The heavy machine guns opened fire immediately, causing some of the enemy to lie on the ground and some to hide.

Gao Xiang ordered to stop shooting, then he opened the door and jumped out of the wheelhouse, and shouted in English to the US Navy sailors, "I want to talk to your highest commander." "Although Gao Xiang doesn't speak English easily, the meaning is basically clear." An officer brandished a pistol and said, "Please lay down your arms!" Gao Xiang waved his hand in disagreement. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the officer had to send a sailor to report it.

Seeing this scene, Zhanfei in the sky immediately lowered his altitude in solidarity. At the same time, heavy machine gun fire was ordered to play a deterrent role. Captain Grigory, who was in the command cabin, listened to the sailors' report. I couldn't make up my mind for a while. At this time, the fighter plane flew at a low altitude and swept over the control tower, and all the generals immediately lay on the ground. "General, the other side is urging us to surrender. The propeller malfunctioned after being attacked, and we couldn't run. At this time, two more carrier-based planes appeared in the sky, and they also discovered the situation on the deck, so they gathered and flew together to hover over the battleship to shock.

Gregory looked at everyone's expectant eyes, muttered for a while, and said, "Let him hand over his weapons and we can negotiate." After a while, Gao Xiang was brought into the command cabin, and the accompanying officer introduced his commander. Gao Xiang raised his hand and saluted and said, "Your Excellency, the contempt is Gao Xiang, the captain of the carrier-based aircraft flight group of the 1st aircraft carrier fleet of the Chinese Empire. Your battleship has become a graveyard at sea, you have no choice, please spare the lives of your subordinates and give the order to surrender. ”

Grigory looked at Gao Xiang and asked, "I can execute you now, aren't you afraid of death?" "I dare to land a fighter plane on your battleship, and I have already put life and death on the line. Your Excellency, you should now consider your safety and that of your men. At this time, an officer shouted in panic: "General, two enemy ships have come up." Everyone looked at the sea, and sure enough, two destroyers were like two steel knives stuck straight into them. One of the destroyers actually opened fire, and the shells exploded on the left side of the sea and formed a tall column of water.

Grigory closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Surrender with a white flag!" "The rear main gun of the cruiser Hornet was destroyed, but it survived and managed to escape. If there were no frigates and destroyers desperately intercepting them in front, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the ascension. The tragedy of the US Navy is still unfolding, because the carrier-based aircraft hit the targets, mainly cruisers and battleships, and the four new heavy cruisers of the US Pacific Fleet, two of which finished playing and two escaped, including the flagship Trailblazer.

The cruiser USS Seattle fled at full speed. Its front guns had been destroyed, and the edge of the aft deck had been blown to shreds, but the propeller had fortunately not been hit. Captain Daras was glad that he was lucky, finally freed from the attack of carrier-based aircraft, and finally took a breath. A communications officer came in and reported: "The commander telegraphed the order to retreat to Oahu, quickly replenish fuel, and then retreat to the continental United States." This command is the ultimate command and is not repeated. ”

Dallas ordered with a pale face: "Retreat to Oahu at full speed, whether we can retreat safely is our luck." "Your Excellency, two more planes have come up." An officer in charge of the lookout shouted in horror. Everyone looked into the sky, and sure enough, they found two carrier-based planes rushing straight over. Dallas trembled, folded his hands and began to pray to God. The battleship moves in a serpentine motion, but attacks from the flanks have little effect on evasion. The carrier-based aircraft is almost performing a bomb throwing show, and whether it can drop the bomb on the tail propeller will be considered a success.

Dallas shuddered violently with each violent explosion, and when he shuddered for the fourth time, the battleship slowed down significantly. Dallas couldn't control it anymore and sat on the ground. At this point, the battleship began to circle and then stopped. Although the machine was still roaring, the battleship was no longer able to sail. When the fighters in the sky found that the battleship was paralyzed, they flapped their wings and flew away, continuing to look for the next target. Now the task of carrier-based aircraft is to search for prey within the combat radius, and then hit the vital point of the prey.

The cruiser Grizzly, which came to a halt after a few laps in the sea. After the attacking carrier-based aircraft flew away, the eyes of all the generals in the command cabin were focused on Captain Yagos. Yagos said with a blue face: "Our battleship has become a live target, send a report to the commander, I am ready to live and die with the battleship." "Yagos is about 40 years old, and he is the youngest admiral in the US Navy, and it is obvious that Yagos is also a bloody soldier." Order, lay down all the lifeboats, open the self-sinking valves, all the officers and men leave the ship, and as for whether you can escape or not, may God bring you good luck. ”

"Your Excellency General, you can't do this!" The adjutant tried to dissuade him. "I am determined to dissuade you, and please grant my wish for the sake of America." The officers and men of the Grizzly moved quickly, and the lifeboats on both sides were full of sailors in the blink of an eye, and then the lifeboats were lowered to the surface. The engineer who left the ship after the last opened the self-sinking valve of the battleship, and the battleship began to sink slowly. All lifeboats stopped after leaving a certain distance, and all officers and men solemnly raised their hands in salute.

At this time, Yagos stood on the platform outside the control tower and raised his hand in the direction of the United States in salute. At this time, Agos thought silently in his heart, farewell to America, farewell to his dear wife, farewell to ??????。 The battleship was submerged in its entirety, and suddenly the bow of the ship rose at right angles to the surface of the sea, and then it plunged straight into the sea, and the huge whirlpool swirled, and soon regained its calm, as if nothing had happened. With tears in their eyes, the sailors watched their beloved battleship and the respected commander bravely die.

It takes courage to live and die with a warship, and U.S. Navy officers and officers are not all greedy for life and afraid of death. Argos fulfilled his wisdom with his death, and perhaps this is the most elegy for the U.S. Navy. The cruiser Grizzly was launched one year and two months later, and his historic mission was completed. Most of the officers and men of the Grizzly Navy were captured, and a small number fled to the island, where they became prisoners again. Frankly, it's not that the US Navy is incompetent, it's that the adversary is terrible.

The flagship Trailblazer had entered the safe sea, but still fled at full speed, and a large number of warships had gathered around him, but there was not a single cruiser or battleship in sight, and almost all around him were frigates and destroyers. There are also torpedo boats, submarine hunters, minesweepers. The attack submarine lagged behind due to its slow speed, and the submarine should have no problem protecting itself, but the fate of the cruiser and battleship made Buck's heart very heavy. The enemy fleet will never let go of any battleship in a great victory, and Buck knows very well in his heart that the enemy fleet is pursuing at full speed, but the terrifying carrier-based aircraft? Buck didn't dare to think about it.

"Report, Grizzly is calling!" Buck closed his eyes in pain after reading the telegram. Liang Jiu said: "Continue to send reports, I want to get in touch with all the main warships, and I want to know their situation." I'm going to let all the battleships that can't escape sink themselves. "Buck had a bit of a gaffe, this fiasco was unbearable, and his mentality became unbalanced. It can be said that the mental state of all the officers and men of the US Navy is in trouble, and whether or not they can successfully escape has become their only hope. (To be continued......)
