Before the battleships between Japan and the United States met, the aircraft carriers of both sides had already launched carrier-based aircraft across more than 100 nautical miles and fought hard. Before the battleship's giant artillery joined the battle, they had already released the violent side of the battleship's battle.

There were already warships on the sea with fire ignited, and the thick smoke and howling sounded far away.

The anti-aircraft artillery of the Japanese main fleet was fully opened, but the gaps in the fire net were still a little sparse, which gave American bombers and torpedoes more opportunities. Although they would not get too close, the number of bombs and torpedoes thrown has made up for the lack of accuracy.

The white water lines intersected on the sea surface, and the movement to avoid torpedoes made the formation of the Japanese fleet begin to scatter.

Under the interference of the water columns that exploded from the blockbuster, Japanese warships still directly encountered the collision luck of American torpedoes, which still did not have much perfection.

In order to avoid the left full rudder turning, Agano also turned to the left, but happened to hit an American torpedo, which damaged the power compartment of the stern.

This is not the worst. With the Successful Shiyu, the first ship of the Agano-class light torpedo cruiser, which has only been in service for two months, attracted the fierce attack of the Americans' next Fearless Diving Bomber due to the rising smoke pillars.

Even though the Agano, who was busy putting out the fire and draining water, killed the remaining two 76mm and 6 25mm high-air guns, they still could not withstand the bombshell brought by the fearless man's continuous dive.

It was again hit by two 726 kilogram bombs.

This Japanese latest light cruiser, known as the strongest torpedo warfare, has not yet demonstrated the power of its two 610mm quad-toled torpedo tubes. It quickly sank 27 nautical miles from the Sydney Rose Bay Harbor amid the sound of a death blow.

At this time, the Yamato, not far from it, could only flap the gun barrel in vain and watch the surrounding large and small anti-aircraft artillery retaliate against the scattered barrage of American fighter jets flying in the air.

This feeling of being passively beaten made Tadaichi Nagamoto very depressed.

So when more American bombers and torpedo planes rushed over, Tadichi Nagamo finally ordered:

"Type three-type anti-aircraft bullets, prepare!"

He had been hesitant about the damage to the Yamato main gun and hull by the third type of air defense bomb. In addition, he was confident that Japanese fighter jets and other air defense guns could defend against the attacks of the Americans and had not activated the air defense power of the main gun. But in fact, the Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft gun still lost its chain. Even the Type 89 40-diameter 127mm fire rate on the Yamato gave the American fighter jets an opportunity to take advantage of.

The most important thing is that the Japanese Zero fighter jets were entangled by Hellcats and a large number of wild cats, and they could not intercept the fearless and the Avengers at all.

Seeing that the Americans were surrounding him more and more fighter planes, he couldn't help but accept Mindai's suggestion.

Toshihei Naruto was lucky enough to leave before the cruiser Myoka and Kaohsiung was sunk by the Pioneer Army, and went to Yokosuka Art School to serve as the instructor. This time he served as the artillery artillery on the Yamato. He also conducted a familiar internship to promote him as the new captain of another Yamato-class battleship.

Tadichi Nagamoto favored this well-known Japanese artillery expert, who was also a zealot of cannon giant ships, and hesitated for a moment and conveyed the order.

The raised Yamato's main gun began to move slowly, aiming at the vast sea and air intersection.

There were a large group of American fighter jets coming quickly to join the battle group.

The Zero fighter jets that kept flying on the Japanese aircraft carrier were far less than those who rushed to the wild cats. After paying special attention to the Zero, the two American wild cats could also fight one Zero.

When Nimitz heard the news ahead, he immediately made tactical adjustments. While the Japanese fighter planes were all restrained and Japan's air defense firepower was weak, he began to send bombers and torpedo planes in large quantities.

Large groups of American fighter jets came from a distance like dark clouds, and then scattered around major Japanese warships nearby.

But this time, while they were still maintaining the formation of the team's dense flight at 18 nautical miles, a loud loud noise came to their ears.

Faster than the sound, a huge explosion of flames spread around them, and the 1,360 kilograms of giant shells instantly exploded thousands of bullets in the air. The small fragmented bullets and small burning bullets quickly rolled up white clouds and mists that completely annihilated the figures of more than a dozen planes flying in dense formations.

Although one or two planes drove out with thick smoke, in addition to the red flames and black smoke exploding in the white clouds, a large number of plane wreckage spit out from below and fell to the sea.

"My mother, is this the third type of air defense bomb?" Zhao Xingbiao, the captain of the Wen Tianxiang airship, put down the telescope and couldn't help but exclaim.

The white smoke spread more and more, stretching into a piece, like a ball of white clouds, rolling all the American fighter planes scattered around him. The scale was so large that he couldn't help but compare the damage to the airships by such shells.

Looking at the dozen American fighter jets falling from a distance, Zhao Xingbiao quickly came to a conclusion that it was unlikely that Kirov's airship would get benefits from such shells.

Even if the maximum speed of the second-class Kirov airship has exceeded 200 kilometers, it is definitely not as fast as the shell speed.

The only advantage is that the Kirov airship can rise to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters. Although the Yamato main gun just now has great power and can shoot into the sky more than ten nautical miles away, the damage to the airship at an altitude of 20,000 meters is still unknown.

"Although it is not fatal, the damage is certain!" Zhao Xingbiao thought of this, and couldn't help but issue an order and began to let the airship at an altitude of 10,000 meters continue to rise. Anyway, the observations are made of telescopes and other equipment, so it doesn't matter if the Japanese fired a three-type anti-aircraft gun at them, the altitude of 10,000 meters may not be safe.

"The maximum shooting height of this three-type anti-aircraft gun is 11,900 meters!" Chen Guan whispered beside him.

In order to better observe, Chen Guan and others have been trying their best to lower the height.

The existence of their huge airships. The American radar was detected, but he had known that it was a Chinese observation group. The Japanese radar was not installed in the major battleships, and the naked eye was not enough to penetrate the clouds. The Kirov airship was observed above the clouds.

They were so busy that they didn't care about anything else. Even if a corner of the airship was occasionally exposed, they didn't care much about the huge shadow hovering on the high clouds.

But in order to prevent the situation, and for the many naval elites on the airship at this time, no one dared to take this risk, Zhao Xingbiao's order was quickly conveyed.

"This type of three-type anti-aircraft gun damages the main gun's barrel and easily affects the shooting accuracy of the main gun. It is usually rare!" Wang Xiu's slow voice came from behind Zhao Xingbiao, "Besides, using a 460mm main gun to shoot in the air, the slow rate of fire is a fatal gap. The Americans just accidentally said that as long as the formation is scattered, the Japanese are afraid that the Japanese will really want the cannon to kill mosquitoes!"

As everyone looked at it, the other American fighter jets quickly expanded the distance, and even the smoke and clouds filled with the third-type anti-aircraft gun could not cover too many American fighter jets.

The Japanese attacked the three-type anti-aircraft guns and shot down 13 American fearless dive bombers in one go. How could the Americans dare to commit the same negligence again?

However, the Americans were also frightened by the power of this shot, and the momentum of the attack slowed down significantly.

But at this time, 32 Hellcats and 84 Wildcats on the battlefield had overwhelmed the blockade of 36 Zero and 17 Super Zero fighters, which gave 45 Fearless Bombers and 38 Avenger torpedoes more opportunities.

"Boom!" A huge explosion rose from the Feihe with a smoke pillar soaring into the sky. A heavy bomb dropped by the Fearless One at a height of 1,200 meters broke through the three decks and detonated directly inside.

A series of death explosions continued to sound, and the entire deck on Feihe was arched by fiery red flames, and then it was constantly torn apart. Several planes staying on the deck were also torn to pieces by the flames, mixed with burning wood chips and screaming figures spewed into the sky with the fireworks rising into the sky, and then fell into the sea.

After the Agano and a White-class destroyer, the Wilderness-class destroyer, were sunk by a bomb, a Japanese main warship also completely tasted the taste of American bombs.

The deck on the Feihe was no longer usable, and even the anti-aircraft artillery was affected by the shock wave and stopped most of the time. The Japanese main fleet's air defense system was missing a corner and was soon captured by the Americans.

Three Avenger torpedo planes roared through the thick smoke of Feihe, and rushed towards the Yamato figure blocked by Feihe with more than a dozen bullet holes.

When the two destroyers below and the air defense firepower on the Yamato were concentrated and they were chasing them and attacking them, they had already jumped up, leaving only three white waves of mark13 aviation torpedoes sprinting at full speed.

The close-range attack made the Yamato difficult avoidance in vain. Although he could escape one, the other two hit it.

But the American torpedo had another problem. One hit the sidewalk board about 150 mm under the port side, making only a heavy impact, and then bounced back and fell into the sea bottom.

However, another one directly penetrated the first layer of side armor and exploded inside, instantly tearing a big hole, destroying the four adjacent sealed compartments.

A steel groan on the Yamato represents the loss of the Japanese main fleet, but the excited Americans did not know that their main fleet was also suffering a disaster.
