2758 Counterattack 4

Two bombs roared from the sky at 80 meters. Betty almost watched the two bombs with yellow lines landed on the front of the Flying Dragon's hull. The first bomb fell near the Flying Dragon's windshield. B was a high explosive bomb. It directly tore a large hole 5 meters square on the deck. The yellow flames produced by the sour high explosive bomb burned wildly on the deck, and the gray-black smoke rose into the air. Fortunately, the Flying Dragon cleared the planes and ammunition on the deck too early, so it did not cause chain damage.

The damage caused by another bomb was even greater. The bomb landed directly on the elevator in the front of the Flying Dragon. The lift weighing dozens of tons was destroyed by the explosion of the high-explosive bomb. The bracket on one side completely broke and then hit the hangar deck! Even Betty felt the hull suddenly!

Then there were the third and fourth! The two bombs fell on the Flying Dragon again after 5 minutes! The third was the armor-piercing bomb. After successfully breaking through the flight deck, it penetrated the hangar deck. Finally, the bomb exploded near the motor cabin and caused a certain degree of fire, which also caused the Flying Dragon to lose half of its power! The fourth bomb fell in the middle of the hull, also destroying a large deck.

"Report the ship condition!" Betty said loudly to the sound tube.

"The flight deck is no longer available, the ship lift is destroyed, and the gas is burned, and the inside of the hangar and near the motor cabin is also on fire, but the fire can be controlled! The hull ammunition compartment and power compartment are still safe. The Flying Dragon can still advance all of it." A moment later, an officer reported.

"Order the destroyers on both sides to come up and put out the fire immediately, pay attention to the gasoline tank near the motor cabin; pay attention to the oil and gas mixture, I don't want the Feilong to commit suicide." Betty said loudly!

After this round of attacks, the dive bomber attack in the air came to an end. After all, the Americans had many targets, so it was impossible that all the ammunition was wasted on an aircraft carrier. Just as Betty was relieved, the shouts of torpedoes in his hand made everyone feel their hearts in their throats again!

Six torpedoes were divided into two teams to launch lightning strikes from both sides at the same time. At this time, the newly released aircraft of the Japanese finally played a role. At least 8 aircraft were chasing American torpedoes in low altitude. The first aircraft failed to attack the two fighters before entering the range. The other two aircraft released torpedoes in a hurry under the threat of Japanese fighters. The attacks outside the 2ooo meters were not accurate at all. In the end, only three torpedoes fired torpedoes within the predetermined range of 1ooo meters.

The first torpedo was avoided by the Flying Dragon, while the second torpedo seemed to have problems with the fixed depth. The torpedo passed by the bottom of the Flying Dragon, and only the third torpedo finally hit the target. The position of the torpedo was not wrong. The violent explosion of the motor cabin in the middle and rear of the hull also caused damage to the gasoline cabin next to the motor cabin. A large amount of irrigated gas escaped from the oil tank, making the Japanese army scared.

However, the attack on the Flying Dragon ended here. There were too many Japanese aircraft carriers, and that was the only thing that could be assigned to the Flying Dragon!

The second target to be attacked was the Fengxiang. There is no way, the aircraft carrier is closest to the Feilong.

Several bombers roared towards the target. In the subsequent attack, the Fengxiang incident surprised both the United States and Japan!

The first bomb landed in the middle of the flight deck of the Fengxiang, and a violent explosion made a huge hole in the deck. The hit can be said to be very tricky, almost splitting the Fengxiang flight deck of the more than 170 meters long from the middle and the two decks behind it were very embarrassing.

But soon, the Japanese didn't have to worry about this problem. Three minutes later, two 5oo-pound bombs fell on the back of the hull and successfully penetrated the flight deck and fell into the hangar. A few seconds later, a roar like a volcanic explosion came from the sea; a huge fireball sprayed out from the rear deck of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier. Flames and smoke rushed straight into the sky, and they gradually cooled down after finally rising to a height of more than 1oo meters, forming a huge mushroom cloud!

"This strike was really beyond our expectations. We even suspected that the bomb we threw just now was not a 5oo pound, but a 5oo pound bomb! A few seconds after the explosion came, when we looked back at the sea, the poor Japanese aircraft carrier was covered with thick smoke and flames, and we could only see some decks and superstructures from the gaps. At this moment, my companions and I knew that this aircraft carrier was over and we made history!" After the war, Michael, the pilot who killed the Fengxiang, wrote in his memoir.

The battle of the Fengxiang was undoubtedly a huge incentive for the US military fleet that was fighting. Until now, they finally destroyed a Japanese aircraft carrier, and the battle was so clean and neat! American pilots cheered and ran towards other targets, and they launched attacks on other aircraft carriers more boldly and radically!

This attack was really powerful. Two 5oo-pound bombs successfully detonated the bomber placed in the rear hangar of the Fengxiang. These aircraft were reclaimed back to the hangar after the preparatory period. They unloaded the bombs, but did not have the fuel in the exhaust. Therefore, these aircraft were equivalent to incendiary bombs loaded with 5oo liters of aviation gasoline. There were 12 aircraft in total. Once these aircraft were detonated, the chain won, and there was no force to stop the Fengxiang silence!

After the first round of explosions, the hangar at the rear of the Fengxiang was almost shattered. Some joint fleet officers and soldiers claimed that the rear of the hull was almost completely blown away. It was like being chewed from the back by some kind of beast. It even destroyed the four transmission shafts and servo cabin at the rear of Fengxiang. The large amount of water inlets caused the warship to tilt seriously.

Subsequently, gasoline steam continued to spread inside the hull, and a little bit of friction and static electricity would ignite these dangerous gases. In the next ten minutes, the Fengxiang had at least three large-scale explosions. In just 20 minutes, the aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons sank into the sea. There was no trace of the smoke that still had not dissipated. The efforts of the Americans finally paid off!
