When the sound of the bomber engine fell from the sky like the roar of a raptor, several destroyers rushed out of the smoke. These destroyers frantically fired with all the air weapons on the ship, trying to disperse these gods of death in the air, which made the Japanese determine the value of their attack targets! Perhaps some people have discovered that this warship is not the main battleship of the US Navy, but most people still chose to assault and then throw down precious bombs or torpedoes!

The roar of the various small and medium-caliber rapid-fire cannons, a series of tracer bombs were flying in the air. Four destroyers were in Zhu. The first aircraft was cut off half of its wings and then turned into the sea. The fuselage of the second bomber was opened with a hole as big as a washbasin. The plane was like a frightened bird, throwing the bomb into the sea quickly and turning around and flee. However, more aircraft still crossed the fire net and launched a fatal attack on the target!

The first round of 5 500kg bombs was thrown at the poor warship within 2 minutes. After using mobility to avoid three of them, the other two shots were firmly slapped on the front and middle of the hull of Juno. The Japanese used semi-armor-piercing bombs this time, which specifically targeted the US battleship's key protection. The bomb that hit the bow exploded after piercing through the 2-layer deck. The violent vibration made the front of the bow of the armored cruiser explode. The bomb hit the middle of the hull successfully destroyed one-third of the flue of Juno and penetrated the main horizontal armor!

More than 100 kilograms of picric acid explosive exploded on the top of the Juno boiler bin. Tons of debris fell from the sky and launched an indiscriminate attack on one-third of the area of ​​the boiler bin. A boiler weighing more than a dozen tons was blown into pieces. They were mixed together and could no longer distinguish them. High temperature and high pressure water vapor and flames raged in the cabin. They ignited everything that could burn. Against the background of heavy smoke, you can also see the fire in the middle of Juneo.

After the first round of attacks, two rounds of torpedo attacks were added. More and more Japanese land-based attack aircraft joined the attack queue. They rushed towards the target like bloodthirsty sharks. The ammunition they used was enough to kill the target more than 2 times! More than 10 torpedoes were fired out. Under the supersaturation attack, this poor old cruiser did not last long. With two violent explosions, the Juno was blown into three sections and finally sank into the warm sea water of the Pacific Ocean.

"Okay, Juno has completed his mission, and it's time for us now. Order the warship to turn left a warp point, keep the speed above 19 knots, be careful to avoid bombs and torpedoes!" Just as Juno was bombarded, another old-fashioned armored cruiser, the Brooklyn, also sailed out of smoke. Captain Alden stood on the bridge without fear, just like the countless commands he issued in his previous military career, calm, clear, and clear!

"We are the second warship named after Brooklyn in the history of the American cruiser. Our ancestors, the first ten thousand-ton armored cruiser in the history of the United States, fought to the end for the interests of the United States for the benefit of the United States. They are warriors and the most resolute and respectable existence of the United States Navy. Today, it is our turn. We will inherit the spirit and will of our predecessors. We are fearless, just for the moment of victory!" Before the war, Colonel Alden already knew his mission and acted as bait when the situation deteriorated. This deterioration not only refers to the current face of Japanese bombers, but also to lead the destroyer team to fight back when the fleet is on the verge of collapse. Colonel Alden happily accepted this rather tragic mission and wrote these words in his diary!

"We found another large warship! It rushed out of smoke!" A sharp-eyed pilot discovered the Brooklyn, and then he and his fleet rushed to the sea. The second wave of attack began, and this time, as many as 18 bombers and torpedoes rushed towards the target.

Faced with the God of Death falling from the sky, Brooklyn began to counterattack. Dozens of anti-aircraft guns and machine guns of various caliber on the ship began to fire in the air. With the explosion of shells, black explosion spots were densely spread in the air. It could have done better, but in the battle just now, two 12-inch shells hitting the hull cut off a piece of the originally thick anti-aircraft gun array. Brooklyn's performance was even worse than the previous Juneau.

The Japanese attacks were more coordinated than when they attacked the Juno before. First, fighters and bombers who threw away their loads entered the field. They used a large number of machine guns and machine guns to sweep the Brooklyn's deck and anti-aircraft gun positions. Hundreds of warheads jumped between the deck and the superstructure. They were dead elves and the unlucky ones caught by the harvester. The power of the 20mm shells was so huge that they could even directly break half of their body. The bullets of the large-caliber machine gun fell like raindrops, leaving bloody marks in the gun position area!

Soon, under the attack of Japanese aviation power, Brooklyn also ushered in its end! Four 500kg bombs and at least three torpedoes hit the armored cruiser built 15 years ago. The violent explosion tore off the steel plates from the warship. On the hull, flames spread on each deck like flowing magma. Under the waterline, the Japanese attack left three deep scars on the hull. Every minute, hundreds of tons of sea water poured into the hull. They washed down the next door, flooded the boiler warehouse, and permeated one cabin after another, leaving a struggling US Navy officer and soldier in the sea forever.

With a violent explosion that resounded through the battlefield, the Brooklyn also sank, and it also died of excessive damage output. However, when Brooklyn sank to the bottom of the sea, it also came to an end with the attack of Japanese bombers. Although some aircraft were still hovering in the air, the combat effectiveness of Japanese bombers had been greatly weakened.

"We use two armored cruisers to avoid the two battleships being seriously injured or sunk. This seems to be a good deal." Sims said casually, but in fact, his trembling hands betrayed his mood at this time. The US Navy has already paid too much blood and sacrifice in the breakthrough battle against Lagen Island.
