Chapter 209 Feed the fish

"3rd Squadron, attack! Kill the Japanese transport ships." The squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron gave the order.

The 12 SBD2 dive bombers immediately left the fleet and rushed towards the Japanese transport ships and merchant ships on the sea.

"Be careful to save bombs. The number of bombs we carry is not large!" Klaus reminded.

"Yes, sir." The pilot replied.

Two SBD2 dive bombers took the lead in launching the attack. What they targeted was a Japanese transport ship called "Asakami Maru". This was a large ship with a displacement of more than 8,000 tons. It was equipped with an artillery corps and their artillery.

"Baga! Avoid quickly." The captain of the transport ship "Asakami Maru" shouted loudly. The first mate was operating the rudder and making an emergency turn. However, the transport ship was too large and at the same time was too slow, and it seemed too clumsy.

After all, transport ships are not warships. Their design requirements are to be able to carry more cargo and at the same time they must be airworthy. As for fast speed and flexibility, they are the standards that warships need.

"Da da da da da! dong! dong! dong!" The Japanese soldiers on the transport ship seemed to feel that the doomsday was coming. They were using anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to fire at the planes in the sky.

However, their counterattack seemed so futile. These transport ships were originally useless. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that are now being operated are all temporary weapons carried out by the Japanese Army.

The sea was shaken violently, and the Japanese machine gunners and gunners had no way to ensure the accuracy of their shooting, and they had no way to hit the planes. They could only watch the planes attack their transport ships.

Two SBD2 dive bombers dived to a height of 500 meters from the sea before dropping the bomb. Two bombs weighing 1,000 pounds had already fallen vertically.

Although the transport ship "Asakami Maru" kept dodging, it still failed. Both bombs hit it.

The heavy bomb, under the action of gravity acceleration, pierced through the wooden deck. The wood chips flew across, leaving two large holes in the deck.

Soon, a violent explosion sounded. The wooden transport ship "Asakura Maru" was directly blown through by these two bombs. The sea water rushed into the hull frantically, causing the hull to sink rapidly.

"Sir, we have severely damaged this unlucky guy." The pilot reported.

"Beautiful job, next goal!" Klaus ordered.

On the sinking transport ship "Asakami Maru", in order to avoid being caught in the sea by the sinking transport ship, countless Japanese officers and soldiers jumped into the sea like dumplings, and then swam desperately outside. In this way, they would not be swept into the sea by the whirlpool formed after the sinking of the transport ship "Asakami Maru".

The 35th Regiment of the Mountain Artillery of the 35th Japanese Division, carried on this transport ship, was killed.

If they were to be killed on land, it might be a bit of trouble. But now, the two SBD2 dive bombers' aviation bombs have sent them all to the sea to feed fish. All of this is really too simple.

The sinking of the transport ship "Asakami Maru" was just a sign that the feast of killing had just begun. Groups of carrier-based aircraft began to attack these Japanese transport ships and merchant ships with almost no self-protection ability.

Two TBD torpedo attack aircraft launched an attack on a Japanese merchant ship.

"Torpedo, two torpedoes are found on the left, please avoid them!" When the sailors on the merchant ship discovered the incoming torpedo, they couldn't help but roaring heart-wrenchingly. Although there were only two torpedoes. But for the merchant ship, let alone two torpedoes, even one torpedo would be enough to kill them.

The merchant ship began to turn urgently, trying to avoid the two torpedoes. Unfortunately, the merchant ship was still too slow. The two torpedoes were too close to the merchant ship.

Therefore, the sailors on the merchant ship could only watch the torpedo kissing on their merchant ship.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two violent explosions sounded one after another, and the merchant ship shook violently. Two large holes were blown out by two torpedoes below the side waterline. Still, they began to rush into the merchant ship frantically.

"Baga! We were hit and the merchant ship was about to sink. Run away quickly!"

Countless Japanese sailors began to snatch the lifeboats. As for the army soldiers carried on the merchant ships, no one would pay attention to their life and death.

Countless Japanese soldiers were sent to the sea to feed fish before they even saw the enemy.

"It's over, this is all over. The despicable Chinese people, they actually used bombers to deal with us." Lieutenant General Shigeta Tokushin murmured with a look of despair.

"Damn the Chinese, they are not aircraft used by the Army Air Force, but special carrier-based aircraft! Otherwise, how could they hit the ships on the sea so easily?" Colonel Ikeda Junkihito also understood it completely.

If it were bombers used by the Army Air Force, the ability to strike targets on sea surface was definitely not as strong. Therefore, he thought before that even if he was bombed by the Anti-Japanese Air Rescue Team, the losses would not be too great. But now, reality slapped him hard. The anti-Japanese Air Rescue Team dispatched all of them were carrier-based aircraft. And, those who were flying these carrier-based aircraft could tell at a glance that they were skilled pilots.

However, this is definitely not a good thing for them. Because it means that they will be very dangerous in the future. If they are not doing it well, they will all die in this sea area and will not reach Yangon at all.

Two SBD2 dive bombers launched an attack on the merchant ship "Awaihimaru" where Lieutenant General Shigeda Tokumatsu and Colonel Ikeda Junyoshi were located.

Although Japanese soldiers on merchant ships were fighting back with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, they were not a threat to these dive bombers.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two loud noises came, and Lieutenant General Chongtian Tosong's feet were unstable and fell to the deck, causing his head to be bleeding.

However, no one cared about him at all. Everyone knew one terrible thing, that was, their merchant ship was hit. They were about to fall into the sea to feed the fish. So, everyone was thinking about how to escape. As for Lieutenant General Tokushin Shigeta who would care about him?

Even Colonel Yoshihiko Ikeda rushed to the lifeboat, ignoring Lieutenant General Shigeda Tokumoto.
