The American eagle took off." Looking at the aircraft carrier Constellation in the distance, Raidel said: "Although it is far less sharp than the German sword. But they will eventually grow!"

"Maybe there is still expansion, who knows?" Su Xiong also said to the American attack aircraft group. However, no matter what the German attitude was, the Americans finally took the first step! If Sims' aircraft carrier-based aircraft troops perfectly consumed the British's aviation power and tested the defense of the US aircraft carrier to a certain extent, then this time it was to test the offensive ability!

Nearly 40 various aircraft rushed towards the lonely Japanese battleship in the distance like a pack of wolves, and the latter knew nothing about the upcoming fate! Until the roar of the plane broke the silence of the sea, when dozens of aircraft formed a formation similar to a large bread roaring, the Japanese were stunned!

"This? What's going on?! The Americans actually deployed an aircraft carrier?" Then a chaos arose on the bridge.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Ours are revealed! Everything is over!" The shadow of fear enveloped the entire warship. But soon, the Shanwu was ready to make a final try, and the crew were busy running around the deck. Because the warship was too old, there was no reserved for anti-aircraft guns at all when it was designed. Therefore, whether it was the 75mm gun, the 2-pound guns introduced from the UK and the anti-aircraft machine guns could only be placed between the deck and the building. There was no fire control at all except the sights on the artillery and the artillery mirrors in the hands of the soldiers. The two still usable seaplanes took off, but they were of no use except being smashed into pieces by the US Air Force's F1F fighter with a large caliber machine gun. From the current target to the bomb coming to the air, there was only a short ten minutes!

The Americans invested their dive bombers for the first time! The first SA1 bomber carrying a 5oo-pound bomb roared down like an eagle, and the sparse air defense firepower tried to stop the Americans' first wave of attacks, but all this would be futile! The bomber dive bombed at a height of 6oo meters at a 45-degree angle. The huge displacement changes made the Japanese's air defense firepower impossible to capture at all. The attack was swift and elegant. The bomber flew past the target like an ancient cavalry, and the falling bomb was the scimitar in their hands!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, the first attack was not very effective. The first six bombers attacked only one near missing bombs. The huge explosion caused some damage to the part below the waterline in the middle of the hull of Shanwu, but that's all. Shanwu then began to release smoke, while the dive bomber behind was a little blind.

"It feels that the effect is not very good." After the bombing, the squadron leader who was responsible for commanding the horizontal bombing looked at the smoke from the rear of the deck of the Shanwu battleship and the ship's twin turret in the distance. In the end, the dive bombing squadron with 15 dive bombers could only confirm that it had hit 2 bombs and 1 was missing. This result made the US Navy feel a little depressed. Of course, the most depressing thing was that the dive bombing was somewhat low. The Americans chose 5oo pounds of half-armored armor-piercing bombs, hoping to penetrate the horizontal armor of the warship and have high explosive power. However, it seems that it did not penetrate the opponent's armor, and it was not destructive enough to the non-armored area, which was embarrassing......&1t;i>&1t;/i>

After the war, the US Navy had two points to summarize the poor dive bomber effects. The first point was lack of experience, and the second point was that there seemed to be some problems with the dive bombing aiming equipment.

However, the subsequent horizontal bombing performed very well. Eight bombs carried 1ooo-pound bombs to form a triangular formation and flew over the mountain mist. Outside the effective range of Japanese air defense firepower, the US horizontal bomber formation leisurely dropped a group of bombs! However, in this horizontal bombing, the US bomber troops, which had only been able to hit one bomb on average in the past, hit three this time!

This time, the lethality of the triple-level half-armor-piercing bomb with a height of 1ooo pound not only scared the Japanese, but also shocked the Americans! The first 1ooo pound half-armor-piercing bomb whizzed down from a height of 5oo meters! The bomb fell directly between the ship's chimney and the main mast! After continuously piercing through several layers of decks, the bomb exploded near the flue armor! Accompanied by a loud bang, nearly 2o kilograms of explosives were directly detonated! The huge shock wave wrapped the explosion fragments to pieces the entire No. 1 chimney to pieces, and also destroyed the main mast!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Once the other two bombs hit the upper part of the boiler chamber, the bomb penetrated the fragile armor belt on the upper part of the boiler chamber and detonated in the boiler chamber! This explosion is not important, at least 8 boilers were destroyed instantly! The flames poured out like tides, and at the same time, a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor began to spread in the cabin and gushed out along the crack, even flushing out the smoke released before the Shanwu No.

This bomb can be said to have killed half of the life of Shanwu! The last bomb completely locked the victory because the last bomb hit the servo cabin at the tail of Shanwu's hull! This time, not only destroyed the servo cabin, but also completely destroyed a transmission shaft at the bottom of the servo cabin! Therefore, Shanwu had no chance to use the difference between propellers to adjust the course! It could only become a salted fish that drifted with the flow......

"The battle is over!" When the torpedo attacked maneuver, the remaining life of the Shanwu can only be described in minutes. The 8 torpedo planes were leisurely divided into two groups, and then thunderstormed from both directions at the same time! The final result has been confirmed. The Shanwu battleship hit by at least 4 torpedoes seemed to be lifted out of the water by a huge explosion force, and then smashed heavily. The moment the hull touched the sea surface, it fell apart directly!

From the start of the attack to the mountain fog battle, the whole process was less than 20 minutes! In addition to the performance of the dive bomber team was a bit dissatisfied, both horizontal bombers and torpedoes performed very well, especially horizontal bombing. The damage effect brought by high-equivalent and high-altitude horizontal bombing was really good. As for the air strike accuracy, the Americans didn't care much, after all, the performance this time was really outstanding.

"This is a great victory! The United States Navy has completed a leap! I think we can get the battle report out now. If we move faster, General Sims at Pearl Harbor could see the battle report before dinner, and then directly celebrate our victory with a sumptuous dinner!" Mitchell said excitedly.
Chapter completed!
