"Knock knock!"

The 25-mm anti-aircraft guns on the heavy cruiser 'Torikai' were firing frantically. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Dense artillery shells were fired at the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the sky. The shells exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of black smoke.

The heavy cruiser "Chokai", with a displacement of up to 13,000 tons, was armed with 4 120-mm single-mounted anti-aircraft guns, 8 twin-mounted 25-mm anti-aircraft guns and 22 single-mounted 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, in addition to 5 twin 203-mm main guns. There were also two 1-mm anti-aircraft machine guns. Such anti-aircraft firepower is undoubtedly very powerful. It is enough to form an airtight air defense network in the air.

An SBD2 dive bomber of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army forced its way above the heavy cruiser 'Chokai' and tried to hit the opponent. However, as soon as he entered the dive channel, he was hit by the anti-aircraft fire of the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea". The plane was torn to shreds at once, and the pilot died tragically on the spot.

"Attention all machines, pause the attack. The anti-aircraft fire of the day * himself was too powerful. If you take the risk of attacking, you will lose a lot. A squadron leader hurriedly ordered.

This heavy cruiser of the Japanese * himself is like a hedgehog, and the anti-aircraft fire is too dense.

"Fighters provide cover, suppress the anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese themselves, create conditions for the attack of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft." The captain of the 1st Brigade commanded.

Four F4U fighters immediately joined the attack. Fighter jets are faster and more agile than dive bombers. It is also easier to get rid of in the face of intensive anti-aircraft fire from the Japanese * himself.

These F4U fighters successfully broke into the anti-aircraft fire network of the heavy cruiser "Chokai". The Japanese anti-aircraft guns were almost chasing these planes. However, the speed of these fighters was so fast that the Japanese anti-aircraft gunners kept changing their positions, but they still failed to hit the target. On the contrary, there are loopholes in their dense anti-aircraft fire network.

"Good opportunity, dive bombers and torpedo attack planes, attack at once, sink this heavy cruiser of the Japanese * himself." The squadron leader immediately ordered. The attack of the fighters created a perfect opportunity for them. If you can damage or even sink this heavy cruiser of the Japanese army because of this. Then, there will be a huge hole in the anti-aircraft fire network of the Japanese army. The battle below is even easier.

"Fools, leave those fighters alone. Concentrated fire on the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the China. "The captain of the heavy cruiser 'Chokai', Mikio Hayakawa, roared angrily.

He knew very well that even if those fighters broke into their anti-aircraft fire network, they would not be able to cause any substantial damage to their warships. But if there is a hole in the anti-aircraft fire network, and the opportunity is caught by the dive bombers or torpedo attack planes of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, it will be dangerous. Whether it is a heavy aviation armor-piercing shell or a heavy aviation torpedo, it can pose a lethal threat to their warships.

It's just that Hayakawa Mikio's order was still issued a little late. Four SBD2 dive bombers and four TBD torpedo attack aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army have already launched an offensive.

Four SBD2 dive bombers burst into the top of the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" and began to dive and drop bombs. At an altitude of less than six hundred meters from the heavy cruiser "Chokai", heavy aviation armor-piercing shells weighing a thousand pounds were dropped. Four aviation armor-piercing shells, almost at a vertical angle, smashed at the heavy cruiser 'Chokai'.

At the same time, four TBD torpedo attack aircraft, from the left side of the heavy cruiser "Chokai", launched an attack. They flew at an altitude of more than 100 meters above the surface of the sea, and when they were only a little more than a thousand meters from the heavy cruiser "Torikai", they dropped torpedoes.

Four 533-mm heavy torpedoes sank into the sea, but then they jumped up and fired at high speed at the heavy cruiser Torikai.

Dive bombers and torpedo attack planes work together, which is undoubtedly a very effective tactic in naval warfare. Although it was the first time that the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army launched an attack on the enemy's warships. However, such tactics, they have practiced many times.

Although, their cooperation is still a little rusty. However, their tactics are already very powerful.

This can be seen from the heavy cruiser 'Chokai', which hurriedly evaded. It is necessary to dodge both heavy aviation armor-piercing shells falling from the sky, and at the same time heavy aviation torpedoes on the sea. This put the heavy cruiser "Chokai" in extreme danger.

The heavy cruiser "Torikai" rushed to the left and right, trying to avoid the aviation armor-piercing shells falling from the sky. However, in the end, he was not able to escape. Of the four heavy aviation armor-piercing shells, three smashed into the sea, exploding columns of water that soared into the sky.

However, the other one hit the heavy cruiser "Chokai".

"Boom!"

A heavy aviation armor-piercing shell hit the starboard side of the heavy cruiser 'Chokai'. Smashed directly through the starboard deck and exploded inside the battleship. The violent explosion not only blew away several anti-aircraft guns, but also caused a large fire inside the battleship. Smoke billowed from the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' and soared into the sky.

"Yaga! Put out the fire quickly. Hayakawa got up from the ground in embarrassment and shouted loudly. If the fire is not extinguished in time, the losses caused by the fire to the battleship will also become more and more great. When the time comes, the battleship will probably suffer heavy losses.

When the armor-piercing shell hit the heavy cruiser 'Chokai', the hull of the ship shook, so that Hayakawa Mikio Osa and others fell hard, and their heads were broken and bleeding. However, no one cares about this at all. Now, it's a matter of life and death for them.

The four SBD2 dive bombers, having finished dropping their bombs, have been pulled up and are ready to withdraw. Then look for an opportunity to attack again.

It's just that an SBD2 dive bomber was a little unlucky, and the tail was hit by an anti-aircraft gun shell. So much so that this dive bomber, directly dragging the smoke, crashed into the sea. The pilots also do not know whether they are alive or dead.

"Torpedo found on the port side!"

The officers and men on the port side of the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' shouted one after another. They found four torpedoes coming at them at a rapid pace, and many of them were frightened.

"Knock knock!"

Some Japanese sailors, who began shelling the sea with anti-aircraft guns, wanted to destroy these torpedoes. However, this is simply in vain. A torpedo sailing at high speed under water is not so easy to hit.
