Chapter 1467

Captain Cross piloted the bomber, flying smoothly along the sea, and when he swooped down from the clouds, just a few hundred meters above the sea, leveled the plane.

"Attention, prepare to drop bombs." Captain Cross shouted loudly, he felt his heartbeat begin to speed up, the islanders' aircraft carrier, right in front of them, they need to launch the most violent attack on the islanders!

Yesterday, the B-29 bomber went through an attempt, and the result confirmed a situation that made them feel bad. Their newly developed guided bombs still have serious defects, and they cannot continue to be applied in actual combat at all, so they only Can switch to regular bombs.

Now, they need to throw ordinary bombs on the aircraft carrier of the islanders. This is a difficult task. Only dive bombers can have such high precision, but it will bring more terrible casualties.

They are flying horizontally.

At the same time, the navigator and bombardier in the nose is also fully focused at this time, and it is up to him whether he can hit the target or not.

He kept fiddling with his sights, constantly measuring, and in his field of vision, the target was getting bigger and bigger.

"Prepare to drop bombs, start the countdown, ten, nine..."

There is more than one ship in the aircraft carrier formation. Now, on the periphery of the remaining two aircraft carriers, there is a circle of escort ships on the outer layer. At this time, the escorting warships have pointed their anti-aircraft guns in this direction. For them, just wait It's on fire!

The anti-aircraft guns are conditional, the slant range is not enough, and they can't fire at the bombers over there, but when the anti-aircraft gunners are staring at the target nervously, they find that the other party has already dropped bombs!

Yes, the bomb has been dropped, which is beyond everyone's expectations. Even people without common sense can see that it is impossible for the other party to hit their own side.

Too far.

Are Americans afraid of death? Dropped a bomb and went back to life?

Just as they were watching, the 2,000-pound bomb, with a graceful arc, was thrown from a distance, its huge and graceful figure was displayed in the air, and then it was all over the place. In the eyes of people, it hit the water.

"No, it's a waste of time!" Someone has already reacted.

Yes, it's just a waste of water!

When the bomb hit the water, it didn't sink, but was bounced off the water again, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and continuing to fly forward!

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

If it was a dive bomber, they could shoot bullets desperately, and if it was a torpedo, they could observe the slow trajectory and dodge calmly, but now, it was a floating bomb!

When the bomb fell into the water for the second time and bounced again, almost under their noses, it flew up from the water, flying over their heads, and bypassing the escorting ship, they turned their heads, Watching the bomb continue to bounce, when the five fell into the water, it was only a few meters away from the aircraft carrier!

When it bounced again, it just hit the part above the waterline of the aircraft carrier, and then a huge explosion sounded.

"boom!"

A 2,000-pound bomb is definitely a heavyweight. Even if the aircraft carrier Kaga had armored protection on the upper part of the waterline when it was manufactured to increase its resistance to strikes, it could not stop this terrible bomb. explosion!

In the violent explosion, a large hole was blown open on the side of the Kaga, and sea water gurgled in.

Standing on the bridge, Nagumo Chuichi felt the terrible explosion from the warship, and his brain had completely gone blank.

Imperial Navy, is it over?

The hull was slowly tilting, and on the deck, another Stuka was forcibly taking off, but before it left the deck, it reluctantly slid aside and then fell.

The surrounding island navy soldiers are still in a dazed state, watching bombs one by one, flying towards their side in a floating way, and they have no means to stop it!

Hundreds of bombers dropped hundreds of large bombs, but not all of them hit the target. Only less than 20 hit the target accurately. Even so, it brought terrifying casualties!

"Boom!" Just as the Kaga was tilting, a terrifying bomb jumped onto the deck and exploded violently in the middle of the Stuka bomber behind!

If it only suffered one, it could still hold on, relying on the partition composed of multiple watertight doors, and still float, but now, the explosion on the deck has completely ruined the battleship.

Huge explosions came one after another. The Stuka bomber was burning. The bombs it carried were constantly being detonated. A black smoke rose from the deck. Soon, the Kaga rolled into the icy sea. .

On this day, the dream of the Imperial Navy was forcibly interrupted. With the sinking of this aircraft carrier, a large number of carrier-based aircraft pilots disappeared.

The artillery reverberated, and the sea seemed to be on fire as the bombers left.

If they had enough zero battles, this simply wouldn't have happened!

If it wasn't for the Americans to turn the tiger away from the mountain, all the zero battles were to deal with the threat of the opponent's naval carrier-based aircraft, and they would not have been sunk by the aircraft carrier.

If the Americans didn't use jump tactics, but conventional dive bombing...

There are not so many ifs. In short, the Imperial Navy suffered a heavy blow on this day. With the sinking of the Kaga, Chuichi Nagumo also left.

He didn't leave the battleship, he just watched the battleship fall into the water, he didn't swim out, he wanted to stay with his battleship.

Nagumo Chuichi was afraid of having a caesarean section, but he still felt that this was more in line with the tradition of a navy, and sank along with his battleship!

In the attack just now, only the Akagi survived. It avoided the attack of several jump bombs. While it was still in shock, the American carrier bomber crossed the zero-war air defense circle and flew towards them!

In the face of all this, the remaining warships could only use antiaircraft artillery to fight back. In the fire of the antiaircraft artillery, the American dreadnought carrier-based dive bombers swooped down from the sky with a spirit of dread. For them, the first and foremost The target is the last remaining aircraft carrier Akagi!

When the bomber flew away, the deck of the Akagi was blasted with two large pits, but it was still sailing, but now, there was no possibility of recovering the zero battle that had just been released.

For the island nation, this was the most terrifying day. They won the Midway landing battle, but suffered heavy losses due to mistakes in the naval battle. When the news came back, Pheasant Fifty-Six was stunned.
