"Crashed! Oh my God, it crashed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The Japanese sailors on the port side watched as several torpedoes rushed towards them.

Although, the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' was at full throttle, trying to evade these torpedoes. However, it still did not succeed. A 533-mm heavy torpedo hit the left aft hull of the heavy cruiser 'Torikai'. The warhead exploded violently. The huge power directly shocked the sailors on the port side into the sea.

The waterline armor of the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' was only 127 mm. With such weak armor, it simply could not withstand the 533 mm heavy torpedo. The huge force after the explosion directly tore a big hole in the underwater armor of this heavy cruiser. The sea began to pour into the hull of the ship in a frenzied manner.

"Report the loss!" Hayakawa Mikio's face was already gloomy, as if he could drip water. Hit by an aerial bomb and a heavy torpedo one after another, the heavy cruiser "Chokai" could not resist even though it had a displacement of up to 13,000 tons.

At this moment, another loud explosion sounded.

Of the four torpedoes fired by the four TBD torpedo attack planes of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the last one hit the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' again. This torpedo was launched a little later than the other three. So, in the end, the hit was made again.

This torpedo hit the underwater armor of the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea". The violent explosion once again tore a large hole in the underwater armor of the heavy cruiser 'Chokai'.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we were hit by two torpedoes of the Chinese in succession, and two large holes were blown out in the middle and tail of the port side. Loss management personnel are in the process of loss control. The damage officer reported.

"Yaga! Be sure to plug the loopholes. Hayakawa Mikio Osaku ordered.

"Hi, Captain." The officer replied. But can the loopholes really be plugged? I'm afraid it's going to be very, very difficult.

After receiving one heavy aviation armor-piercing shell and two heavy torpedoes in succession, the heavy cruiser "Chokai" had already been heavily damaged. Moreover, the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not end there. On the contrary, this is just the beginning.

On the battleship Mutsu, Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa, standing on the bridge, coldly watched the attack of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" became the key target of attack by the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. In the other three directions, there were relatively few attacks. It can even be called a diversionary attack.

Seeing that the heavy cruiser 'Chokai' was hit by aerial bombs and torpedoes one after another, Yamasumi Sadajiro Daisa's face also became very ugly. If the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" is sunk, there will be a fatal hole in their anti-aircraft fire network. The battleship 'Mutsu' had to personally face the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at that time. Even though the battleship "Mutsu" has strong anti-aircraft firepower, and has thick skin and flesh, the defense is strong. However, if you want to resist the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, I am afraid that it will be very difficult.

"Order our anti-aircraft fire to support the 'Bird Sea'." Yamasumi Sadajiro Osaku ordered.

The battleship Mutsu also had four twin 127-mm anti-aircraft guns and 10 twin 25-mm anti-aircraft guns. Such anti-aircraft firepower is undoubtedly very weak compared to a huge battleship with a displacement of nearly 40,000 tons. But who made the battleship Mutsu an old ship that had been in service for more than 20 years? At the beginning of its design, the aircraft did not show such great power at all. The target of the battleship 'Mutsu' was still to destroy the enemy with its powerful main guns. Therefore, a strong ability to strike at the sea is the most fundamental thing. Anti-aircraft artillery was added later. In terms of anti-aircraft firepower alone, the battleship Mutsu was much worse than the heavy cruisers Chokai and Maya.

After the order of Yamasumi Sajiro Osaku was issued, the five twin 25-mm anti-aircraft guns on the left side of the battleship "Mutsu" also began to support the heavy cruiser "Chokai". It's just that it's useless anymore. At this moment, the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' has completely fallen into the siege of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and it is difficult to resist.

"Well done, continue the attack, sink this heavy cruiser. Then, the big guy who attacked the day * himself again! The squadron leader of the 3rd Dive Bomber Squadron of the 1st Group of the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army ordered.

In their opinion, the heavy cruiser "Chokai", which had suffered heavy losses, obviously could not hold out for long. Being sunk is already a sure thing.

Four SBD2 dive bombers and four TBD torpedo attack planes once again launched an attack on the heavy cruiser "Chokai". Dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft coordinated with each other to ensure that they were able to hit.

The heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" was seriously flooded at the moment, which affected the speed of the battleship. At the same time, anti-aircraft fire was destroyed quite a bit. As a result, a fatal hole appeared in its anti-aircraft fire network.

The four SBD2 dive bombers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army took advantage of this loophole and launched an attack on the heavy cruiser "Chokai".

"Prepare to drop the bomb!"

Four SBD2 dive bombers dived directly to a place less than 500 meters above the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' before dropping their bombs. Four 1,000-pound aviation armor-piercing shells smashed into the heavy cruiser 'Chokai'.

This time, the heavy cruiser 'Chokai' had bad luck, and three of the four heavy aerial bombs hit. The other one is also a near-miss. On the starboard side of the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea", a large hole was blown up.

At the same time, the attack of four TBD torpedo attack aircraft, which was also successful. Of the four torpedoes, two were once again hit. As a result, the port side of the heavy cruiser 'Chokai' was once again blown out of two large holes.

The previous two big holes had not been plugged, and now two more big holes have been blown out. The sea is pouring into the battleship in a frenzy. This made the damage management personnel on the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" completely desperate.

Because of the increasing flooding, the hull of the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" has slowly begun to tilt.

"Send a telegram to the battleship Mutsu and tell them that we have suffered heavy damage and that the battleship is about to capsize. We will fight to the death. Big Day * Ben Imperial Onboard! At the last moment, Mikio Hayakawa sent a telegram.

A few minutes later, the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' capsized on the surface of the sea, becoming the first Japanese battleship to be sunk in this naval battle.
