Chapter 1689 The Battle of the Southern Indian Ocean 4

Compared with the agile Tenno light cruiser, the Katae is undoubtedly a large and bulky target. Although the Japanese tried their best to dodge the attack, after dodging two torpedoes, the other two bombers successfully threw the bombs on the Katae's deck!

The first bomb fell on the double-mounted 12-inch artillery turret on the bow of the Katae ship. The bomb in the semi-armor-piercing warhead naturally could not fall from the 200-meter air and then penetrate the armor on the top of the turret. However, the violent vibration of the explosion still destroyed some of the servo inside the turret and the aiming equipment on the top. This turret was scrapped. The effect of the other bomb was much better.

The half-armor-piercing bomb fell on the front of the hull, directly piercing through the upper and middle decks, and was blocked by the main horizontal armor. A violent explosion put a fire inside the hull, and a large hole of several meters in diameter penetrated at least two decks. The deck at the edge of the hole also suffered severe distortion and deformation. The flames began to spread along the pipes inside the warship. Even after half an hour, thick smoke still gushed out from the burial.

"Although I have foresaw the defeat of the fleet, I really didn't expect that our way of death would be like this." Standing on the bridge, Nagashikazuki wiped the cold sweat from his head and said. Until now, the Japanese are still very surprised at why the German bomber suddenly appeared in the Indian Ocean.

"Did the Germans deploy an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean?" Saburo Yukio said to himself. Although an aircraft carrier is a new thing, it is not a secret for the top Japanese naval executives who have been chasing the frontiers of the world's naval. After all, the British are doing it, and the British shared some of the intelligence and designs with the Japanese. The Japanese knew that there was a kind of warship that could carry a large number of bombers or even torpedoes and then launch an attack. However, what the Japanese could not imagine was how the Germans sent the aircraft carriers in this remote corner battlefield?

But it is obvious that it is obviously not the time to consider this issue. Saburo Hyobu and Tadaichi Nagamo have to find ways to deal with the next wave of attacks. Look at the sky now. It was just noon that the Germans could launch at least one attack. Moreover, the fast battleship Gneisenau, which made the Japanese fear it, might be about to kill, right?

"I don't know how effective our seaplane attacks are." Seeing his fleet being bombed by the Germans, Saburo Yukio also had some hope that his seaplane could create some miracles. For example, a bomb went down to blow up the main rangefinder of the Gneesenau......

Just after the German bombers evacuated, the six seaplanes that the Japanese took off with weapons were also operating. However, what was somewhat different from Saburo Yuki was that only two seaplanes found the fast battleship Gneisenau!

"Japanese seaplane!" At this time, the lookout hand at the top of the mast discovered the Japanese seaplane that appeared in the sky and reported immediately.
