"Kick! Kick! Kick!"
Stuka's three 7.92mm machine guns opened fire first, and dense chains of fire fell from the sky, piercing the Fuso anti-aircraft troops on the deck into bloody gourds.
The Stuka adopts a method that is close to a vertical dive. The dive angle reaches more than 60 degrees. At this time, the trajectory of the bomb is almost straight.
The pilot only needs to keep the nose of the aircraft pointed at the target, and this time there is a conspicuous auntie red guide, so he can hit the target with little need for precise aiming.
Approaching the bombing altitude, the pilot decisively dropped the bomb release handle, and then pulled up the control stick!
Several SC250 aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms fell like meteors, flashing with cold light under the sunlight, roaring from the sky and hitting the bow deck of the Nagato.
Stukkara rose into the sky and circled like a merry-go-round, but the attack was not over.
They can also take turns using machine guns to straf the sailors on the Fuso deck. This is the most classic dive bombing tactic of the Hans dive bomber in World War II.
The sides of the battleship's hull, the main turret, and the main body of the command tower are heavily armored, but the deck is extremely fragile. Aerial bombs easily penetrated the deck and fell into the ammunition depots of the No. 1 and No. 2 main turrets.
"Boom!"
A brilliant flame rose into the sky, and the scorching air waves completely destroyed three nearby anti-aircraft gun emplacements. The ammunition depots under the main gun turrets 1 and 2 on the bow of the Nagato were ignited, and the propellant and warheads exploded.
"Boom!" The violent explosion forced the bow of the ship to twist and deform, and the fire shattered the deck. Fire, gunpowder smoke, and thick smoke filled the entire bow of the Nagato ship.
As for the Fuso soldiers' invincible bushido, their broken limbs, arms, legs, internal organs, etc. were all scattered around the deck in an instant.
The Fuso anti-aircraft soldiers who were still fierce and shouting "board" have now turned into pieces of meat of different sizes. The blood, along with the sea water, gathered on the deck to form a river of blood and flowed unbridled into the sea.
Several SC250 aerial bombs hit the deck of the Nagato one after another. "Boom!" "Boom!" The Fuso sailors on the battleship were torn apart by the explosion shock wave, and their limbs and broken arms flew across and fell into the sea.
In the command module of Nagato's island, every time there was a loud noise, the battleship's hull shook violently, and a feeling of despair arose in the hearts of all the Fuso admirals, including Yamamoto Ninety-two.
"Baga, why is this happening? The naval strength of our Great Fuso Empire is clearly destined to dominate the Far East. Are we going to stop here?"
"It's a fighter plane. Your Majesty Commander, we have lost all our advantages and have completely become a target for Chinese fighters. Let's give the order to abandon the ship quickly!"
The situation of the battleships Olu and Kirishima next door was not much better, and they were bombed beyond recognition.
The two twin 410mm main gun turrets on the bow of the Oulu ship have been uprooted by the violent explosion, and the main guns weighing thousands of tons were blown into the sea.
Thick black smoke was rising everywhere on all Fuso ships, and all resistance capabilities were completely lost.
Suddenly, two Ta-152 fighter jets roared over in level flight. The pilots aimed at the Fuso admirals on Nagato Island and pulled the triggers.
"Kick! Kick! Kick!"
A series of 20/30mm artillery shells hit the Japanese generals like a furious wave.
Beat these arrogant Japanese into a pile of minced meat, and the entire command module will be covered with ketchup.
The 72 Ta-152 fighter jets also finished dropping aerial bombs one after another, but the hit rate was not very good, and they began to be like nimble birds, active in the sky above the Fuso ships.
From time to time, he would swoop down and pull out the anti-aircraft guns on the Fuso ship, and shoot at the Fuso sailors on the deck.
As for the Fengxiang, it was even more unlucky. Three aerial bombs hit the elevator located in the middle of the ship.
The aerial bomb penetrated the Fengxiang's deck straight and easily, and exploded in the hangar inside the ship.
The fuel torpedoes and bombs in the hangar were ignited. Like living creatures, the flames jumped up instantly and made a loud noise.
Two aerial bombs accurately hit the stern of the ship, completely damaging the Fengxiang's rudder and several oil-coal mixed-fired and heavy-oil boilers in the engine room. The Parson turbine engines were all destroyed, and the heavy oil and kerosene were ignited. .
The thick smoke produced forced many Fuso sailors to crawl out. The steel plates and pipes of the stair treads and handrails had already been burned red by the fire, and their bodies would be scalded when touched. Many Fuso sailors suffocated to death in the panic.
The four nearby Nagara cruisers were attacked by aerial bombs one after another. Water columns from the four bombs rushed upward like fountains. The sea and air were mixed, and the sky was dark.
Not long after, the hulls of several cruisers were blown to pieces. Seawater poured into the hulls along the gaps, and the heavy oil leaked on the sea surface was ignited.
In their previous lives, these cruisers participated in the "Songhu Anti-Japanese War" and went deep into the Huangpu River to bombard the Chinese defenders. I don't know how many Chinese soldiers were killed by their naval guns, and they will eventually receive their retribution.
The Fuso sailors on the cruiser were burned by the flames. They couldn't bear the burning, so they jumped into the blazing sea full of heavy artillery and were burned to ashes.
At this moment, 56 carrier-based aircraft taking off from the East China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier also hurriedly arrived, eager to join the bonfire feast.
Ignoring the cruisers that were about to be buried on the bottom of the sea, the carrier-based aircraft pilots cast their fiery eyes on the five surviving Fuso battleships.
The 20 SB2C Hell dive bombers began to decelerate and dispersed into five squadrons. They found their respective targets. The nose of the aircraft was lowered to 45 degrees. The pilot released the throttle and opened the dive flaps of the wings.
Through the optical sight, it began to dive at high speed towards the five remaining battleships such as Nagato, Oku, Kirishima, Settsu, and Hosho. After approaching the target, it quickly dropped bombs and pulled up the joystick to climb.
Kongo Class 4th Ship Kirishima Battleship
The remaining 20 BTD torpedo aircraft and 12 F4U-1C Jolly Roger fighters also showed no signs of weakness.
After dropping the aerial bombs, the fighter jets hovered over the Fuso ship, waiting for an opportunity to use their four AN-type 20mm cannons to rain down shells on the Fuso sailors.
The BTD torpedo planes were divided into five groups and fired torpedoes at several stagnant Fuso battleships.
The captain of the Nagato, Heigo Teraoka, just came to the cockpit, "A torpedo was found on the port side, the left rudder is full!"
"Your Excellency, Captain, the explosion caused damage to our ship and we cannot dodge!" Before he could finish speaking, three MK41 400mm anti-ship torpedoes accurately hit the Nagato battleship.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Accompanied by several violent explosions, the Fuso sailor who was in the command cabin was shaken violently and was thrown out, falling from a height of dozens of meters onto the deck covered in a sea of tomato sauce flames.
At the same time, the riddled and crumbling Olu, Kirishima, Settsu, and Hosho were also directly hit by several torpedoes.
The torpedo directly detonated the ammunition depot and heavy oil tank inside the ship's cabin, causing a second explosion.
Almost every warship was carrying thick smoke, and the flames were dancing on the deck, which was ignited and made the Fuso sailors jump into the sea one after another.
The battleships Kirishima and Settsu were the first to be unable to withstand the attack, and their severely damaged hulls were directly broken into two pieces.
The Fengxiang was directly killed in the explosion. The violent explosion completely opened the deck of the aircraft carrier. The cabin was already a sea of flames, and countless burning people howled miserably in the sea of fire.
The remaining Nagato and Olu also followed closely behind and "Boom!" After the explosion, the ship island with tall pines and clouds collapsed first, and the ship body was also shattered following the gap.
