Buzz — Buzz — Buzz!

Heavy Heavy Ships blasted out of the cumulus clouds one after another, dived into the two aircraft carriers, Akagi and Kaga with extremely sharp momentum.

"Enemy attack!"

"Six enemy planes are on the port side!"

"More enemy planes are coming!"

The Japanese army was well-trained and immediately sounded the air defense alarm. The air defense force quickly took its seat, and the 12 120mm high-level dual-purpose artillery of the Kaga aircraft carrier was ready to counterattack.

"Too fast, I can't aim!"

The bulky Gaoping dual-purpose artillery aiming system is too slow to react. The Japanese gunners trained the target aircraft at a speed of only 200 kilometers per hour. Now the Tang army's Hellfire Heavy Ship is rushing at a speed of up to 450 kilometers per hour, making it difficult for Japanese gunners to lock in the target trajectory for a while.

"fire!"

The Japanese commanders could no longer care about so much. Even if they did not aim, firing cannons would disrupt the psychological quality of the Tang army pilots.

"Bang bang bang!"

The same is true for the Akagi. Their bang cannons were the first to fire, and a large-caliber shell exploded into the sky, turning into clouds.

For the pilots on the Tang army bomber, although the training effect is very good on weekdays, it is the first time that they are heading for an enemy ship's anti-aircraft firepower network.

When the enemy shells exploded in the sky, the shock waves hit, and the Hellfire Heavy Ship also shaking.

The Tang army pilots controlled the joystick tightly to maintain the diamond formation to ensure that the fighter plane was not overturned by shock waves.

This is a time when a pilot really tests the psychological quality of the pilots. As long as one pilot in a formation panics, it is possible to shake the joystick significantly, which will make his fighter plane go off the route and may more likely hit the plane of his companion. The consequences are unimaginable.

"Don't panic, they can't hit us. They can enter the dive range later. Remember not to be nervous. Just drop bombs according to what you usually train. The enemy's deck is very big, so it's okay to blow up that piece."

"Remember to open the speed plate immediately after dropping the bomb. At the same time, lift the head of the engine and do not loosen the accelerator."

The team leader and the wingman reminded the team members through radio intercoms, after all, they were all young novices. The first time they were hit by the Japanese ship's anti-aircraft firefighting counterattack, they were inevitably afraid and they were likely to forget the key points of daily training.

You know, for dive bombers, one second faster and one second slower, it is likely that they will not be able to hit the enemy ship or even lose their lives. That is not a joke, it is a lifelong game.

At this time, the Tang army's entire squadron of eighteen Hellfire Heavy Ships raided and entered the dive height of 3,000 meters one after another. The speed suddenly increased and made a sharp whistle.

The Japanese air defense machine guns opened fire, and several destroyers serving as escort also opened fire at this time. Fire blockade lines were intertwined in the sky.

"bomb!"

"Open the speed plate!"

"Pull it up!"

The leader and wingman rushed to the front and were the first to drop bombs.

“Yi—Yi—Yi—Yi—”

Two 500 kilogram aviation bombs under the belly of the Hell Firer were thrown at the same time. This is different from the previous one-by-one drops, because actual combat shows that high-speed dives are only thrown by one aircraft bomb, which can easily cause unstable balance of the aircraft and accidents.

The leader and wingman dropped four 500 kilogram aviation bombs and quickly opened the speed plate, and pulled the plane up and broke through the Japanese machine gun fire network.

The other pilots had heard reminders from the captain and wingman before, and they followed their actions to drop bombs, drove the speed plate, and quickly pulled the plane.

"What are they doing?"

"Do you want to hit us with a bomb?"

"Are they crazy? They're going to die with us!"

The Japanese army on the Kaga aircraft carrier were a little stunned. It was the first time they saw this bomb drop method and they kept guessing for a while.

Within this dive range, it is a blind spot for Japanese air defense artillery. The Japanese army, which never attaches importance to air defense, stood on the spot when they saw the Tang bomber dropping bombs.

"What are you doing when you stand there stupidly? Dodge it quickly!"

The experienced Japanese commander pulled away the stupid sailors and hid behind the bunker. Then the entire aircraft carrier trembled suddenly and immediately shook the two of them to the ground.

Two 500 kilogram aviation bombs hit the head-level takeoff deck of the Kaga aircraft carrier. The powerful penetration force instantly penetrated the three-stage flight deck of the Kaga, and exploded after it penetrated the third flight deck.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two loud bangs, the stable aircraft carrier, which was as stable as a mountain, instantly shaking like a mountain. The explosion instantly exploded a huge hole of five or six meters in diameter in the middle of the Kaga aircraft carrier. If the Japanese aircraft carrier were not open, the explosion shock wave rushed from the surrounding area to the fire, and the two bombs would destroy a quarter of the aircraft carrier.

"What kind of bomb is this? How can it be so powerful?"

The Japanese army with a little experience knew that it was a terrifying aviation bomb, which was much more powerful than the 30 kilograms of Japanese bombs.

Fear spread at that moment when the Kaga aircraft carrier spread, and most people had never experienced such a cruel war, which was scared enough.

But even more terrifyingly followed one after another.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Tang army alone dropped 36 500 kilogram aviation bombs. If all hit the Kaga aircraft carrier, it would be enough to blow it up to pieces.

But only five or six bombs hit the Kaga, two of which hit the island, instantly blew up the entire island, and the lightning and fire rose into the air, and steel debris shot into the sea hundreds of meters away. From below the Japanese commander, hundreds of Japanese troops were wiped out in the explosion.

All other bombs fell into the sea water around the USS Kaga aircraft carrier, causing a series of surging water columns. Even the near-arrow bombs, the huge explosion power would have seriously damaged the side of the Kaga aircraft carrier. If the Kaga aircraft carrier had not been changed from a battleship, its original armor would have been extremely unsuccessful. If it were an ordinary thin-skinned aircraft carrier, those near-arrow bombs would have been enough to destroy the side armor.

The Kaga aircraft carrier was severely damaged, the island was razed to the ground, and huge holes were left on the three-stage flight deck, and thick smoke came out from it, which was rare in the world to destroy the power.

The Akagi, not far from the Kaga, also did not escape the fate of being bombed. An squadron of the Tang army, eighteen Hellfires, also attacked it, and thirty-six aviation bombs hit seven, six of which directly hit its three-stage flight deck, destroying all the three-layer decks and igniting a huge fire.

The seventh aircraft bomb should have been a near-arrow bomb, but at that moment, six 500 kilogram bombs exploded out of the port side of the Akagi aircraft carrier, causing the Akagi aircraft carrier to roll significantly. As a result, the port side armored waterline belt was hit by the seventh aircraft bomb.

The Akagi is not as thick as the Kaga. Its predecessor was designed by a battle cruiser. The armor on the side was not as thick as the Kaga. It could not withstand the direct impact and explosion of 500 kilograms of bombs.

A shocking sound was like a bolt from the blue.

A huge hole two meters wide was blown up on the port side of the Akagi, and a violent explosion destroyed five or six water-tight cabins inside. The fire rolled out of the gap, and soon the pressure was unbalanced. Thousands of tons of sea water poured violently backwards from the gap, causing the Akagi to tilt severely. The planes on the deck, various equipment, and hundreds of Japanese troops to slid into the sea.

This is just the first wave.

Li Jianhui led seven squadrons to a total of 126 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers. Just half a minute passed, and two squadrons were dropped. The results of the battle were already very obvious. The Akagi was about to sink. Because it was a battleship armor, Kaga was only severely damaged, but it also lost its combat effectiveness. It only needed to hit a few more 500 kilograms of aviation bombs to sink it.

Li Jianhui immediately ordered a squadron to continue bombing the USS Kaga aircraft carrier, and the other three squadrons went to bomb the three destroyers escorted next to the USS Kaga and Akagi. The last squadron was not an aviation bomb but a 900-kilogram aviation torpedo, and they were still waiting.

"It seems that there is no torpedo to be used!"

Li Jianhui smiled slightly. Although the power of torpedoes is huge, the risk is the highest, because they must be close to Japanese ships at a level and are prone to fierce attacks from Japanese ships and cannons.

"Ye-Boom!"

"Ye-Boom!"

...

After a good start, the Tang army pilots saw that Japanese warships were almost all decorations for air firepower. As long as they entered their air defense blind spot, they could only stare at them. Therefore, they were full of fighting spirit and their accuracy became higher and higher, but they were still not as good as the bomb drop level during training, nor as the bomb drop hit rate when bombing Fijian natives. Obviously, the stronger the opponent, the lower the bomb hit rate. This is a test of psychological quality. Obviously, the Tang army pilots still have a long way to go, and there are still many psychological fears to overcome.

When they overcome those psychological barriers, they can be proud of the whole world.

Of course, for humans in this world, no matter which country's army is, from ancient times to the present, there are not many people who can truly be afraid of nothing on the battlefield.
