First Class Pilot Cao Senshi Sanyi piloted a Type 97 torpedo plane. As soon as it entered the [Battleship Avenue], it dived at high speed. When it was 150 meters above the water, he made a drift turn that he had practiced hundreds of times. , the tail of the torpedo gas was thrown forward, leaving a large white trail above the water. The nose of the aircraft quickly turned around and flew straight towards the battleship, continuously lowering its altitude and adjusting the attack angle on the way.
When the height of the torpedo plane dropped to 30 meters above the water, the width of the angle of view in front of Cao Senshizo became increasingly narrow, and he vaguely saw a battleship ahead, standing like a majestic mountain peak about 800 meters ahead.
"Okay! Prepare to attack!"
Cao Sen Shisan stabilized the operating rod and continued to descend. He was 20 meters away from the water. He pulled the torpedo rod under the throttle with force. In an instant, the nose of the aircraft sank and he pulled the rod upward slightly. Then he heard the torpedo diving into the water. There was a sound, the nose of the aircraft was raised, and there was a feeling of relief. I quickly pulled up the rear pressure lever slightly, and the torpedo aircraft made another beautiful drift and turn close to the water surface to escape.
"The enemy releases a torpedo and kills it with a machine gun..."
The observer on the USS Arizona battleship shouted loudly. He had already seen the fate of another giant ship after being hit by a torpedo.
I'm talking too slowly. In fact, before the Arizona was hit, at least 30 warships were attacked by Japanese torpedoes and bombers. Some were completely paralyzed, and some still had the ability to fight back. The sailors never They regained consciousness in fear and fought back desperately. They had no way out and could only fight to the death.
The explosions all around were so loud that not many sailors heard the shouts of the Arizona battleship observers. The crew rushed into battle. Only 7 of the 49 20mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft cannons on the ship were firing. Most of them were firing. The crew was still in the bilge of the ship, just woken up and in a mess.
Seven or eight seconds later, Cao Sen Shisan heard a loud noise behind him, followed by a powerful shock wave, pushing his fighter plane upwards.
"Hit!"
Cao Senshizo heard the excited shouts of the machine gunner and observer behind him, "The torpedo hit the bow of the battleship [USS Arizona], we succeeded Tokisan-kun."
The 1,000-kilogram torpedo penetrated the bow of the USS Arizona and exploded. The entire command room was destroyed, and a huge hole 123 meters wide was blown out of the side. The steel keel was exposed and ignited a fire. A huge ship was parked in the deep water area, and the sea water suddenly poured in.
A few seconds later, another torpedo hit the stern of the ship, blasting the bow of the ship that had already started to sink. It suddenly jumped out of the water, and then crashed down again, causing a splash of tens of meters high, followed by sea water. They poured in crazily from the stern of the ship.
Next, several 97 torpedo planes that had already released their torpedoes and flew into the air continued to drop medium bombs at the USS Arizona. Their intention was to injure ten of its fingers rather than cut off one of them, and kill them first in the deep water area. This giant ship killed people and made Americans tremble and completely lose their combat effectiveness.
Under the Japanese's continuous attacks, the Arizona's explosions continued. A bomb exploded and opened up the horizontal structure of the ship's hull, blowing the hull above the armor strake into cotton wool.
Then, another bomb exploded, shattering the main turret and completely cutting off one of the steel behemoth's claws.
At the place where the torpedo had struck, fuel emerged from the left chord and ignited a fire. The black smoke column wrapped around the fire and shot up into the air four to five hundred meters high, which could be seen dozens of kilometers away.
The bow of the ship sank extremely fast, and it sank into the sea in an instant. The water and fuel in Pearl Harbor were mixed, and under the dual effects of the ship and bombs, it turned into burning waves.
Zhou Zhihan pushed the throttle to the bottom and went to rescue the USS Arizona. Other battleships could not be rescued, but this type of battleship must be rescued, because in history, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, there were 1,200 sailors on this battleship. Follow the battleship as it sinks into the icy water.
Seen from a distance, this giant ship was like a wounded giant, lying on the water struggling and wailing. The sailors who had been resisting desperately just now were hit continuously and almost all were killed or injured. Many people were blown away by the shock wave in the explosion. After flying into the sky, the limbs were broken, and then fell one after another, scattered around, which was very tragic.
At this time, no one knew that the sailors at the bottom of the cabin were running desperately to the deck. The cabin was full of smoke and fire. Fortunately, God left them a way to escape. The hatch to the deck has not been sealed yet.
But, it's only temporary.
Zhou Zhihan knew that the lives of these more than 1,000 sailors were in his hands at this time, because he saw more than a dozen bombers sweeping in, menacingly, and starting to dive.
In order to save the more than 1,000 lives on board the battleship, Zhou Zhihan had to fly against a dozen bombers. Their attack route was completely disrupted, and the sailors on the Arizona had time to escape.
It takes superhuman courage for a fighter jet to catch up to a dozen bombers that have begun to dive.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhihan saw the flash of fire in the rearview mirror. At the critical moment, he suddenly pressed the lever, and a row of cannons flew forward against his cabin. Then, another fire appeared on his right side, and 214 The F4F Wildcat choked on its forward trajectory.
The enemy shoots ahead of time and uses ruthless means.
Zhou Zhihan's heart tightened, knowing that the bullet behind him was shot by Nishizawa Yoshihiro, who was like a maggot attached to the bone, and who on the right shot such a precise advance?
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Zhou Zhihan could only choose to push the stick and dive. If he moved forward, he would be caught by the enemy's shooting in advance. If he pulled up, he would play into the hands of Nishizawa Guangyi. What's more terrible is that he would have to face it at the same time. A dozen dive bombers attacked with their forward cannons.
If you want to rescue the Arizona, you must first deal with Hiro Nishizawa and the others.
Nishizawa Hiroshi was once again completely defeated by Zhou Zhihan in the previous duel, which made him angry. He immediately made a drift turn in the air, trying to catch the No. 214 F4F Wildcat, but unexpectedly he was chasing further and further away.
In order to deal with Zhou Zhihan, Nishizawa Hiroki thoroughly studied all the main fighter jets in the United States. In addition, he had flown F4F Wildcat and P40 Tomahawk before, so he already had a plan to defeat Zhou Zhihan.
In Nishizawa's view, neither the F4F Wildcat nor the P40 Tomahawk was a match for the Zero, so he was sure of victory. However, what he didn't expect was that the firepower and speed of the No. 214 Wildcat far exceeded his Zero fighter. , which made him suddenly feel extremely tight in his chest.
Seeing that Nishizawa Hiroyuki not only failed to intercept Zhou Zhihan's No. 214 Wildcat, but was shot down two Imperial fighter planes by Zhou Zhihan, Fuchida Mizuo was furious and immediately ordered Iwamoto Tetsuzo to quickly intercept the No. 214 Wildcat and work with Nishizawa Hiroki to kill it. Zhou Zhihan, keeping this person around will be a disaster after all.
Suddenly, the USS Arizona, which had just been hit and paralyzed by two torpedoes, suffered another misfortune. An 800-kilogram bomb fell from a high altitude, easily smashed through the battleship's protective steel plate, and continued to drill in from rib No. 119 of the hull. After passing through the sloping tower wall of No. 4 turret, it exploded.
Although the damage caused by this explosion to the ship was far less than that of the two torpedoes, it caused damage to the crew members in the bottom compartment of the ship who had not yet escaped.
As the ship's hull shook violently, a bloody spray of flames suddenly flooded the main deck, setting fire to a dozen sailors who had just escaped from the bilge, and at the same time sealing the crew's escape hatch.
