Chapter 2758 Counterattack 4

Two bombs roared down from an altitude of 800 meters. Betty almost watched helplessly as the two bombs with yellow lines landed on the front of the Feilong's hull. The first bomb landed on the windshield of the Feilong. Board nearby! This was a high-explosive bomb, which directly tore a large hole measuring 5 meters square on the deck! The yellow flames produced by the picric acid high-explosive bombs burned wantonly on the deck, and gray-black smoke rose into the sky. Fortunately, the Hiryu cleared the aircraft and ammunition on the deck prematurely, so no chain damage was caused.

The damage caused by the other bomb was even greater. This bomb fell directly on the elevator at the front of the Feilong. The elevator weighing dozens of tons was destroyed by the explosion of the high-explosive bomb. The bracket on one side was completely broken and then It hit the hangar deck hard! Even Betty felt that the hull of the ship was violently violent!

Then came the third and fourth shots! Two bombs fell on the Feilong again 5 minutes later! The third shot was an armor-piercing projectile, which successfully penetrated the flight deck and then the hangar deck! In the end, the bomb exploded near the motor room, causing a certain degree of fire and causing the Hiryu to lose half of its power! The fourth bomb landed in the middle of the hull, also damaging a large area of ​​the deck.

"Report the ship's status!" Betty shouted into the microphone.

"The flight deck is no longer usable, the bow elevator was destroyed, and there was a gas fire. There was also a fire inside the hangar and near the motor room, but the fire can be controlled! The hull ammunition bay and power bay are still safe. The Hiryu can still move forward at full speed." A moment later an officer reported.

"Order the destroyers on both sides to come up immediately to protect the Feilong and put out the fire. Pay attention to the gasoline tank near the motor room! Be sure to pay attention to the mixture of oil and gas. I don't want an explosion inside the Feilong." Betty said loudly!

After this round of attacks, the aerial dive bomber attack came to an end. After all, the Americans had many targets, and it was impossible for all the ammunition to be wasted on an aircraft carrier. And just when Betty breathed a sigh of relief, the lookout hand discovered that the torpedo's cry made everyone raise their hearts to their throats again!

The six torpedo planes were divided into two teams and launched lightning strikes from both sides at the same time. At this time, the newly released aircraft by the Japanese finally came into play. At least eight planes desperately chased the American torpedo planes at low altitudes. The first plane entered the range. It had been defeated by two fighter jets before. The other two aircraft released torpedoes hastily under the coercion of Japanese fighter jets. There was no accuracy at all in attacks beyond 2,000 meters. In the end, only three torpedo planes fired torpedoes within the predetermined range of 1,000 meters.

The first torpedo was avoided by the Hiryu through maneuvering, but there seemed to be a problem with the depth of the second torpedo. This torpedo passed through the bottom of the Hiryu, and only the third torpedo finally hit the target! And this torpedo hit a very good position, hitting the motor compartment in the middle and rear of the hull! The violent explosion also caused damage to the gasoline tank next to the motor compartment.

A large amount of volatile gases escaped from the oil tank, frightening the Japanese troops in damage control.

However, the attack on the Hiryu only ends here. There are too many Japanese aircraft carriers, and this is the only fleet that can be allocated to the Hiryu!

The second target to be attacked was the Fengxiang. There was no way, this aircraft carrier was the closest to the Feilong! More than a dozen bombers roared towards the target. In the subsequent attack, what happened to the Fengxiang surprised both the United States and Japan!

The first bomb landed in the middle of the Fengxiang's flight deck. The violent explosion opened a huge hole in the deck. This hit bomb could be said to be very tricky, almost destroying the 170-meter-long Fengxiang. The flight deck was split in the middle! The front and rear decks were very embarrassing.

But soon, the Japanese no longer had to worry about this problem. Three minutes later, two 500-pound bombs landed on the rear of the hull, and successfully penetrated the flight deck and fell into the hangar. A few seconds later, a roar like a volcanic eruption came from the sea! A huge fireball erupted from the rear deck of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier. The flames and smoke shot straight into the sky, and then gradually cooled down until they finally rose to an altitude of more than 100 meters, forming a huge mushroom cloud!

"This blow really caught us by surprise. We even suspected that the bomb just dropped was not a 500-pound bomb, but a 5,000-pound bomb! A few seconds after the explosion, we looked back at the sea. , this poor Japanese aircraft carrier has been covered in thick smoke and flames, and only some decks and superstructures can be seen from the gaps. At this moment, my companions and I knew that this aircraft carrier was finished, and we made history !" After the war, Michael, the pilot who personally killed the Fengxiang, wrote in his memoirs.

The sinking of the Fengxiang is undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the fighting US military fleet! After fighting until now, they finally destroyed a Japanese aircraft carrier, and they did it so cleanly! American pilots cheered and flew their planes towards other targets. They became bolder and more aggressive in launching attacks on other aircraft carriers!

This blow was really powerful. Two 500-pound bombs successfully detonated the bombers placed in the rear hangar of Fengxiang. These aircraft were put back into the hangar after stopping maintenance. They removed the bombs, but they There was no drain of fuel in the aircraft, so each of these aircraft was equivalent to an incendiary bomb filled with 500 liters of aviation gasoline! There are a total of 12 aircraft, and once these aircraft are detonated, there will be a chain reaction, and there is no force that can stop the silence of the Fengxiang!

After the first round of explosions, the hangar at the rear of the Fengxiang was almost blown to pieces. Some United Fleet officers and soldiers claimed that almost the entire rear of the hull was blown away! It was like being bitten hard from behind by some ferocious beast! This blow even destroyed the four transmission shafts and the steering gear compartment at the rear of Fengxiang. The large amount of water inflow caused by the explosion caused the warship to tilt seriously.

Subsequently, gasoline vapor continued to spread inside the hull, and a little friction and static electricity would ignite these dangerous gases. In the next ten minutes, at least three large-scale explosions occurred on the Fengxiang. Just 20 minutes later, this An aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons sank into the sea. Apart from the smoke that still hasn't dissipated, there is no trace left. Americans’ efforts finally paid off!

Two updates today~~~! Please subscribe for the third update tomorrow~~~!

I recommend a book to book friends. I rarely read about immortals, but "The Law of the Taoist Sect" written by Taoist Master Babao is really good. It is a story about immortals that is integrated into the historical background~~~! The Taoist priest himself has conducted in-depth research on Buddhism and Taoism. His accumulation is profound and his writing style is excellent. Book lovers who are interested in the real Buddhism and Taoism culture must not miss it. . You can take a look.
