The USS Fletcher-class destroyer USS Albert has just dropped a large number of depth bombs into the sea. After the depth bombs exploded, a layer of black oil appeared on the sea surface.

Upon seeing this, the U.S. Navy officers and soldiers clapped their hands happily and kept spewing obscene words.

The large number of Kaiten torpedoes and ordinary torpedoes released by 11 Japanese submarines made the Allied navy disgraced, and some injured ships that had a chance to be rescued completely sank into the deep sea.

After a moment of chaos, destroyers, frigates and a large number of anti-submarine aircraft began to counterattack.

Huge water columns caused by depth charge explosions can be seen everywhere on the sea surface!

The Japanese submarine's suicide attack came quickly and disappeared quickly.

Under the attack of sea and air firepower, 11 submarines and a small number of Kaiten torpedoes were sunk one after another.

The Albert is located at the outermost edge of the fleet's defense circle. In order to attack Japanese submarines, the Albert is getting farther and farther away from the main force of the fleet.

After seeing the oil pollution on the sea, the captain of the Albert felt proud and proud, with a smile on his lips.

It was at this moment that a strange light suddenly appeared in the captain's peripheral vision.

The light is fleeting and the feeling is not real.

The captain of the destroyer Albert put away his smile and was about to get the telescope next to him when three blockbuster bombs weighing at least 1.4 tons exploded on the starboard side of the warship.

The water column set off by the explosion exceeded 50 meters, and the sound was extremely terrifying!

The smiles on the faces of the US Navy officers and soldiers on board the Albert froze.

Many people subconsciously looked up at the sky, thinking that such a bomb was dropped by an enemy plane.

The captain had more information about the battlefield, and after a slight hesitation, he thought of where the bombshell came from.

Just when the telescope was raised in front of my eyes, three more bombs roared towards me.

In the field of view of the telescope, the bomb fell almost close to the tip of the nose.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The first and second shells landed directly in front of the Albert and exploded less than 20 meters away.

The third shell that followed hit the Albert's forward deck.

The bomb penetrated directly through the deck and fell into the interior of the warship.

Several navy soldiers with frozen smiles on the deck were blown to pieces by falling cannonballs.

The 1.4-kilogram shell exploded immediately after entering the warship!

"boom!"

The entire warship shook and trembled.

The soldiers on the deck felt that they were not standing on a steel warship, but floating on a small piece of duckweed.

The energy spread from the inside of the warship in all directions, and huge radial holes were blasted out on the left and right sides at the same time!

The energy spreading upward tore through the deck and blew the Albert's main gun away!

After the explosion, the front deck of the Albert was riddled with holes and turned into a twist.

A large amount of seawater surges in through the holes, and it doesn't take long to fill the entire warship.

At least 100 officers and soldiers were killed in the explosion.

In addition, a similar number of officers and soldiers were frantically escaping for their lives in the bottom warehouse where the seawater was raging.

Driven by the energy shock wave, the steel plate from an unknown part flew to the command bridge and penetrated deeply into the steel gap, less than 10 meters away from the captain of the Albert.

Many officers and soldiers were thrown away by the shock wave, and most of them fell into the sea, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

In just a few breaths, the hull of the destroyer Albert at the front of the fleet began to tilt!

Without waiting for the captain to give the order to abandon ship, the surviving naval officers jumped into the sea and fled for their lives into the distance.

The USS Reed, USS Amen and USS Grant in the rear witnessed the tragic experience of friendly ships with their own eyes.

Many people were so shocked that they stopped what they were doing and couldn't close their mouths.

They looked at the tragic Albert and then at the distant Musashi. The fear spread out of control and gradually filled their whole bodies.

As the old saying goes, the more you are afraid of something, the easier it is for something to come to you.

The Musashi has a total of 9 460mm main guns, and a single salvo of a triple turret destroyed a Fletcher-class destroyer!

This is still more than 20 kilometers away, and its firepower is terrifying.

The Albert has been severely damaged and will sink soon if nothing else happens.

The other two turrets simply passed the Albert and aimed their turrets at the multiple destroyers and frigates behind.

"Boom boom boom......"

The main gun roared, and the Musashi, with a full load displacement of more than 73,000 tons, also trembled.

The surrounding sea water keeps surging!

Musashi's main gun fully demonstrated its invincibility and strength, and a domineering momentum spread with the bombardment of three triple-mounted 460mm main guns.

The shells quickly passed through the sky over 20 kilometers and smashed into the interior of the Allied fleet.

This time only one frigate, the Brown, suffered!

The 460mm, 1.4-ton shell exploded near the Brown's waterline, and the shrapnel tore a large hole with a radius of more than 4 meters!

The naval officers and soldiers on board the Brown made emergency rescue efforts. After closing multiple watertight compartments, they finally stopped the penetration of seawater and stabilized the ship's posture.

The Musashi continued to move forward despite the overwhelming attacks, getting closer and closer to the Allied fleet.

During this process, the Musashi also suffered multiple attacks, but these attacks only reduced its speed from 26 knots to 23 knots.

One torpedo and two 450-kilogram semi-armor-piercing bombs were hit successively, but thanks to the emergency repairs of the fanatical Japanese soldiers, the damage was quickly reduced to the lowest point.

Hundreds of people had died on the Musashi, and almost all of their bodies were mutilated.

The soldiers carried ammunition to the deck despite being strafed by Allied fighter planes. Sometimes they would stumble over blood and broken limbs, and their bodies would be dyed bright red.

The turret armor of the nine main guns is more than 650 mm thick. Any current attack is just scratching the surface against such strength of armor.

The continuous shelling of the main guns was bound to tear a hole in the Allied defense circle.

Under the cover of the main guns, 150 Zhenyang special attack boats rushed forward at a high speed of 33 knots.

An arrow-shaped black shadow appeared on the blue sea. They charged forward desperately, at a staggering speed.

The Zhenyang special attack boat is made of the cheapest and simplest 3-layer wood, has a very rough structure, and is driven by a Toyota car engine.

It is driven by a crew of two and carries 250 kilograms of explosives in the front.

Although its power is not as powerful as the Sakura Fighter, it can still cause huge damage if it hits the waterline of a warship.

Another major threat has emerged.
