"Brothers, don't think about attacking the enemy's aircraft carrier yet, that's a matter for the fighter-bombers!"

Zhang Aiguo, the captain of the carrier-based aircraft group, is of mixed Chinese and American descent. His Chinese is a bit stilted, but it is enough to express his meaning clearly.

"Our mission is to kill all Japanese carrier-based aircraft that have taken off, whether they are fighters or bombers."

"Look, these iron-shelled birds in front are our prey."

"Quickly decide, and maybe you can even participate in the attack on the warship!"

After finishing speaking, all fighter planes began to make tactical maneuvers to seize a favorable attack position.

Jet fighters are extremely fast and their maneuverability far exceeds that of the Japanese Zero fighter for an era.

A few seconds later, a dogfight broke out.

"Little devil, look at you!"

"die!"

"ah!"

The fighter pilot made various noises and pressed the fire button.

Among all propeller fighters, Japan's Zero fighter is not weak in performance, and in some aspects is even at the pinnacle of propeller fighters.

But what they were facing at this moment was a jet fighter that was an era advanced.

The Japanese pilot had no time to react and watched helplessly as large groups of fire appeared below the enemy fighter plane.

The next moment, the Zero fighter they were driving was hit, some were directly broken into two sections, and some were exploded into pieces flying in the sky.

"Ahhhh..."

The Japanese pilot let out a scream of fear, reluctance, or despair.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies were turned into pieces together with the fighter planes beneath them, and they fell towards the sea one after another.

"Boom boom boom..."

Five seconds after the air battle began, at least ten brilliant fires appeared in the sky.

In the first round of attacks, none of the 10 J-3 fighters missed, and all achieved results.

Things happened so fast that some Zero fighter pilots didn't even see what happened.

They instinctively felt fear and danger, and piloted their fighter planes to make a series of tactical maneuvers to avoid being locked.

The actions of the Japanese pilots were all in vain.

In the eyes of the J-3 fighter pilots, the Japanese fighter jets that were constantly evading and escaping were like monkeys struggling in a circus.

Although they tried their best, they could not escape. The owner could easily grab them by the neck and pick them up.

In less than half a minute, only 1/3 of the 24 Zero fighters were left.

The game of running away from me in the sky is still going on, but it will soon end.

"All warships fire freely to protect the aircraft carrier!"

Takasu Shiro saw the scene of the Zero fighter being completely tortured, and fear made all the hairs on his body stand up.

He had imagined a battle with Jet, but what was happening now was beyond his imagination.

Everything started too quickly and ended too quickly.

There was no thought or extra energy to care about the situation of the Zero fighters. Takasu Shiro only hoped to use the huge air defense firepower of the fleet to prevent the Chinese bombers from approaching.

As long as this first wave of attacks is blocked, he will order the fleet to escape south as quickly as possible.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The anti-aircraft firepower on aircraft carriers, battleships, light and heavy cruisers, and destroyers opened fire at the same time. The Japanese officers waved their command swords, and the soldiers kept rotating the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns, trying to catch the enemy bombers.

Various shouts resounded on the deck and interior cabins of the warship.

In the panic, Takasu Shiro did not forget to order the torpedo bombers to stop taking off.

He has given up the idea of ​​counterattacking the enemy aircraft carrier.

Under the current circumstances, torpedo bombers taking off will only become a living target for enemy fighter jets and cannot leave this airspace.

All anti-aircraft guns were firing, ranging in caliber from 127 mm to more than 20 mm.

On all warships, officers were holding telescopes and nervously watching the scene in the sky.

How they hoped that the anti-aircraft guns could shoot down an enemy plane!

Just one victory can greatly improve the morale and morale of the fleet.

But the scene that the officers expected did not happen.

The Japanese anti-aircraft guns were unable to catch up with the jet fighters, and the jet fighters flew past their muzzles almost in a flash.

The Japanese's response was fast enough, but they could only watch helplessly as the fighter plane flew past the muzzle of their guns.

Many Japanese soldiers were so shocked by such high speed that they involuntarily stopped rotating the muzzle.

The 30 fighter-bombers did not rush towards the Japanese aircraft carrier in one fell swoop.

Because fighter pilots know the performance of the fighter planes they fly and fully trust the fighters.

After arriving above the Japanese fleet, the 30 fighter planes were divided into six formations according to the pre-plan, with five fighter-bombers in each formation.

The first and second formations took the lead in attacking, and their targets were the Zuiho and the Great Eagle respectively.

With their ultra-high speed and superior maneuverability, the fighter-bombers successfully broke through the Japanese fleet's air defense firepower network.

They flew past the battleship Nagato, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and various light and heavy cruisers and destroyers. They passed the heads of these fleets and pounced on the aircraft carrier Zuiho in the center.

The huge roar of the jet engine directly overwhelmed the sound of various anti-aircraft guns, causing many Japanese to lower their heads and cover their ears involuntarily.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Ahhhh..."

Continuous explosions suddenly occurred on the right deck of the heavy cruiser Nachi, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown into corpses all over the ground.

The captain of the Nachi grabbed the radio and roared loudly:

"Bagaya Road, Hashimoto-kun, let your people see clearly before you open fire!"

It turned out that the shells were fired from the USS King Kong battleship two kilometers away.

The soldiers of the Kongo instinctively rotated the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns to follow the Chinese fighter planes. When the fighter planes passed by the heavy cruiser Nachi, the shells of the anti-aircraft guns of the Kongo just hit it.

Such situations are not uncommon, and there have been more than ten accidental injuries in panic.

The Japanese soldiers on the Zuiho aircraft carrier watched the enemy fighter planes getting closer and closer to them, and they were extremely frightened.

There were also many torpedo bombers parked on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier. These bombers were fully fueled and all were equipped with torpedoes.

There are a large number of aerial bombs, torpedoes, etc. piled below the deck.

The fighter planes were getting closer and closer, so close that I could almost see the Chinese pilot's joking expression clearly.

The Japanese on the deck began to panic, and they instinctively retreated to avoid the attack.

The captain of the Zuiho aircraft carrier held the telescope tightly with both hands, his eyes widened to their maximum size, his mouth slowly opened, his breathing stopped, and his blood coagulated.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, the Chinese pilot easily dropped two 400-kilogram aerial bombs under the wings.

In Takasu Shiro's eyes, everything in the world slowed down, and his heartbeat also slowed down.

He couldn't hear the sound of artillery or the roar of the waves around him. The only thing in Takasu Shiro's world was the two tumbling and falling aerial bombs.

"Ahhhh..."

The Japanese on the Zuiho's flight deck screamed in horror.

Under great fear, many Japanese began to jump from the deck more than ten meters high into the deep sea.

Some people stopped what they were doing and watched dumbly as the bomb got closer and closer to them.

Finally, two 400-kilogram aerial bombs lived up to expectations and accurately hit the front deck of the Zuiho.

The next moment, the explosion was deafening, and the fire filled the eyes of the people around him.

"Boom! Boom!"

The shock wave threw the Japanese soldier's body and the torpedo bomber dozens of meters into the air.

The blazing flames engulfed everyone and everything on the foredeck.

The Japanese on the aircraft carrier were seriously injured.

Two large holes appeared in the front deck, and flames and black smoke came out of the holes.

Two 400-kilogram aerial bombs are extremely powerful, but they are not enough to sink the nearly 20,000-ton aircraft carrier.

Some parts of the Zuiho aircraft carrier have begun to flood, but there are currently no signs of tipping or rolling over.

But the bombing is far from over.
To be continued...
