Chapter Seventy-Eight: Victory in Hold

The form of the battlefield changed rapidly, and the one-sided crusade against Yamato in the deep sea, which was originally led by Akagi, turned into another form in just a few minutes.

The deep-sea Yamato didn't know how to find out where Akagi and the others were, and then gave up the plan to stick to the island harbor, rushed out directly, and used the force field to wrap the entire deep-sea flagship fleet and quickly approach Akagi and them.

But Akagi and the others were not vegetarians, and in a short period of time, they released the second wave of attack planes, and then completed the convergence and reorganization over the deep-sea Yamato fleet, and swooped down towards the deep-sea Yamato fleet on the surface with a piercing whistling.

In order to achieve better results in this air raid, both Akagi and Lexington invariably chose low-altitude horizontal bombing, and directly asked 50 B25 and 10 Type 97 ship attack (80 planes) to form six attack groups and fly in turn to the ultra-low altitude 200 meters above the deep-sea Yamato fleet to carry out bombing in turn.

The bombing groups that carried out the first round of air strikes consisted entirely of B25s.

Akagi wanted to test the strength of the force field shield of the deep sea Yamato first, so he played a trick and controlled the B25 team to drop about one-third of the aerial bombs in the process of diving, and these bombs were not blessed with the "surprise attack" force field, so they fell towards the deep sea fleet below.

Then, when the B25 swooped to 200 meters, the fuselage was leveled, and the remaining two-thirds of the aerial bombs were blessed with the "surprise attack" force field by horizontal bombing, and then all of them were dropped.

In this way, one after the other, one wave was placed on the bright side, one wave was silent, and two waves of aerial bombs rained down on the fleet of Yamato in the deep sea.

And in fact, just as Akagi imagined, the first wave of more than 30 aerial bombs that were clearly heading for the deep-sea fleet was immediately attracted the attention of the deep-sea Yamato fleet as soon as they were thrown out of the bomb magazine, and they launched a large number of anti-aircraft barrages into the air almost at the same time as these aerial bombs began to fall, heading straight for the B25, which was in an ultra-low-altitude flying state.

Each of these B25s is a vast amount of source energy aluminum, Akagi naturally will not let these treasures damage too much, and immediately after the second wave of stealth aerial bombs were dropped, the B25 that finished dropping the bombs was blessed with a "surprise attack" force field, so that it returned to the invisible state.

But even so, under the attack of the powerful anti-aircraft fire network of this deep-sea fleet, three B25s were directly hit, two of them were slightly injured, and one was directly hit by large-caliber anti-aircraft guns into fireworks, which disintegrated and exploded in the air, and fragments were scattered everywhere.

Regardless of the distress, Akagi immediately frowned and turned his attention to the decentralized deep-sea fleet.

Just like the scene seen in the bay of the target island before, as soon as more than 30 aerial bombs landed over this deep-sea fleet, a layer of honeycomb-shaped bright purple force field shield immediately popped out, detonating all the aerial bombs that hit this layer of shield. With a violent explosion, clusters of orange-red fireworks rose violently on the surface of the sea.

Because I knew through Princeton that the strength of this force field shield of the deep sea Yamato was very strong, so the aerial bomb that was dropped this time was not only blessed with Akagi's force field energy, but also Lexington's "pioneer" force field. The "Pioneer" force field can not only increase the power of the bomb, but also increase the strength and lethality of the force field wrapped on the aerial bomb.

Under the attack of these powerful aerial bombs, the bright purple force field shield of the deep sea Yamato also rippled like waves, and it seemed that it could be affected by these aerial bombs.

And at the same time as these aerial bombs exploded, the speed of this deep-sea Yamato fleet suddenly dropped a lot, directly from nearly seventy knots to less than forty knots. It is very likely that the deep sea Yamato urgently dispatched the force field energy supplied to the increase speed to the force field shield.

More than 30 aerial bombs exploded one after another, and the bright purple honeycomb shield of the deep sea Yamato also continued to flicker with the light of the position, and finally withstood the first wave of air attacks without any damage.

However, these 30 or so bombs alone are not the whole of this wave of air raids.

As soon as these aerial bombs were blown up, the second wave of more than sixty aerial bombs that Akagi had deliberately concealed their tracks immediately came one after another, and suddenly crashed into the layer of force field shield that was still rippling in the mountains without being detected by the deep sea Yamato.

After the last air raid, this time the reaction speed of the deep-sea Yamato was very fast, and almost when he sensed the impact of the aerial bomb on the force field shield, he immediately canceled the force field energy supply of the shuttle-type force field used to accelerate forward, and hit all the force field energy that the entire fleet could provide on the force field shield, and even the force field energy for firing a counterattack was not reserved.

In the eyes of Fukami Yamato, at this time, instead of thinking about how to defend against the next wave of air attacks, how to withstand the sudden attack in front of him is the most important thing.

But this judgment of the deep sea Yamato was just calculated by Akagi, and what Akagi wanted was the strict defense posture of the deep sea Yamato. If the first group of attack planes had not been allowed to emerge from the "surprise attack" and the deep-sea fleet had been allowed to slightly reduce its speed to carry out an air defense counterattack, it would have been difficult for the aerial bombs dropped by the carrier-based aircraft to directly hit the deep-sea Yamato Fleet's speed of up to 70 knots.

As long as you can drag down the speed of this deep-sea flagship fleet, are you afraid that you won't be able to blow up its turtle shell? In comparison, sacrificing one or two B25s is nothing at all, at most losing some aluminum, and then going back to Alehijeka for reimbursement.

And just after the deep sea Yamato concentrated all the force field energy of the entire fleet on the force field shield, Akagi and Lexington looked at each other and smiled, and immediately sent the remaining five bomber teams one by one.

That's not all, after planning the air raid round, Akagi backhanded out four arrows from the ship's armor behind him and put them on the bowstring, and released the third wave of attack aircraft at the same time as Lexington.

After the third wave of attack planes took off, Akagi once again reached back, took out the last four arrows, and cooperated with Lexington to release the fourth wave of attack planes.

After the third and fourth waves of attack planes took off, they formed attack formations one after another in units of 10 planes and flew towards the deep-sea Yamato Fleet, which was more than 30 nautical miles away, at supersonic speed.

In the face of a powerful deep-sea flagship like the deep-sea Yamato, if you want to destroy it, it is not possible to send too many carrier-based aircraft at one time. In that case, even as a flagship, the deep sea Yamato will weigh whether its fleet can handle so many fighters. Therefore, Akagi decided to divide the group into many attack formations, in units of ten, to attract the firepower of the deep sea Yamato to drag its footsteps, and then take turns to fight, consume the energy of its position, and finally send a decisive attack force to win with one blow!

This is exactly the battle plan that Akagi specially formulated for the deep sea Yamato.
