Chapter 421: Siege (Second Update)

"Yaga!" Seeing the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' being sunk like this, Yamasumi Sadajiro Daisa, gritted his teeth with hatred. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, after sinking the heavy cruiser 'Chokai,' the attack of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was about to descend on the battleship Mutsu. Even this battleship had a larger displacement and thicker armor. However, under the frantic blows of the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the sinking was almost an unchangeable result.

"3rd Squadron, thank you for taking out the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea'. Now, the task of sinking the battleship 'Mutsu' will be entrusted to our 4th Squadron. "The squadron leader of the 4th dive bomber squadron, joked.

"Fuck off! You are not allowed to intervene until we have all the bombs and torpedoes dropped. Otherwise, Lao Tzu and you are not finished. "The squadron leader of the 3rd Dive Bomber Squadron suddenly quit.

They paid such a great price to take out the heavy cruiser 'Chokai'. For the attack on the battleship "Mutsu", a passage was opened. How can you let the 4th Dive Bomber Squadron pick up a bargain like this!

"Well, I'd like to see if your remaining torpedoes and bombs can sink the battleship Mutsu." The squadron leader of the 4th dive bomber squadron said indifferently.

The 3rd Dive Bomber Squadron, in the previous battles, had already consumed a lot of aerial bombs. And, three dive bombers were shot down. The 5th Torpedo Attack Aircraft Squadron, which also lost one torpedo attack aircraft. There are still torpedo attack aircraft that have not been fired by torpedoes, and there are not many left.

"Knock knock!"

The anti-aircraft fire on the battleship "Mutsu" began to fire fiercely. Four twin 127-mm anti-aircraft guns and 10 twin 25-mm anti-aircraft guns were firing frantically. However, as far as the huge battleship "Mutsu" is concerned, such anti-aircraft firepower is undoubtedly very weak. There are loopholes everywhere.

"Brethren of the 3rd Dive Bomber Group, hurry up and attack. There are also aerial bombs, attack in turn. We just took out the battleship 'Mutsu' and didn't leave any soup for the guys in the 4th Dive Bomber Squadron. "The squadron leader of the 3rd dive bomber squadron ordered.

"Understand, take out the battleship 'Mutsu' and leave no soup for the 4th Dive Bomber Squadron." The pilots of the 3rd Dive Bomber Squadron responded one after another.

And the pilots of the 4th Dive Bomber Squadron, after hearing their clamour, were also mocking.

Fighters of the 3rd Dive Bomber Squadron began to attack the battleship Mutsu.

Four SBD2 dive bombers broke through the already weak air defense network of the battleship Mutsu and appeared above it. Immediately, the attack was launched.

The four SBD2 dive bombers dived to a distance of 600 meters above the battleship Mutsu before they began to drop bombs.

Four heavy aviation armor-piercing shells, weighing 1,000 pounds, roared and smashed into the battleship Mutsu.

"Get out of the way!" Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa, roared with a serious face.

Without his command, the navigator himself had already begun to direct the rudder.

The huge battleship 'Mutsu', like a brute bull, rushed left and right on the sea, trying to get rid of the attack from the air.

However, although they managed to dodge three aerial bombs, one aerial bomb hit the foredeck of the battleship Mutsu. Although, the foredeck of the battleship 'Mutsu' was 75 mm thick. But it still could not withstand aviation armor-piercing shells falling from high altitudes.

Aviation armor-piercing shells easily penetrated the foredeck of the battleship Mutsu and exploded inside the battleship.

The violent explosion blew up several compartments in the bow of the ship. At the same time, it also caused a raging fire.

When the battleship was attacked, the whole battle shook violently. And Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa, who suddenly did not stand firm under his feet, fell on the deck all of a sudden. And, his forehead accidentally hit the corner of the table, knocking out a cut. Blood flowed directly down his face, making him look even more hideous.

"Yaga! Report the loss. Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa yelled.

"Your Excellency, the compartment under the bow of the ship has been blown up and is burning. Damage management personnel are working to extinguish the fire. An officer reported.

"What about the ammunition depot? Be sure to ensure the safety of the ammunition depot. Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa emphasized.

There was an ammunition depot under each of the main guns of the battleship Mutsu. Hundreds of 410-mm shells were stored inside. Once these shells detonate, it is deadly.

"Hey, Your Excellency." The officer nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the officers and men on the port side exclaimed.

"Torpedo, torpedo found on the port side! Evade quickly! ”

Although, at this moment, the speed of the battleship 'Mutsu' has increased. However, the 225-meter-long hull encountered four heavy torpedoes in a fan-shaped attack. It's not that easy to dodge.

Two torpedoes missed, and one torpedo went under the belly of the battleship Mutsu. This choked the Japanese sailors on the battleship Mutsu. However, their good fortune did not last forever. The last torpedo hit the stern of the battleship Mutsu.

What's even worse is that this torpedo blew off two propellers of the battleship Mutsu. Suddenly, the speed of the battleship "Mutsu" began to drop sharply.

"Captain, two of our propellers were blown off. Although, the remaining two propellers, are still working. However, our speed will inevitably drop. The maximum speed will probably be less than 15 knots. The navigator reported with a look of frustration.

Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa's face suddenly turned black as if it was the bottom of the pot. There is only 15 knots left for the maximum speed, how can it be possible to escape the pursuit of the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!

In the sky, the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army continued. Especially after the battleship 'Mutsu' was hit by an aerial bomb and a torpedo, their attack intensified. In their opinion, the battleship 'Mutsu' had already been damaged, and the next step was to sink it completely.

"Brothers, work harder and kill this big guy!" The squadron leader of the 1st Dive Bomber Squadron of the 3rd Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army ordered.

It's just that there are not many aerial bombs they gave birth to.
