Chapter 1289 All of them sink

"Fire! Sink the German plane!" Lieutenant Commander Shiraishi Nagayoshi, the captain of the destroyer "Urakaze", roared loudly. His face was flushed red and he looked very excited. He also knew that for them, it was the most critical moment. If you can't resist it, it's a dead end.

"Boom boom boom!"

Four triple-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft guns, one twin-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft gun, and four 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns on the destroyer "Pu Feng" were all firing crazily. Anti-aircraft shells and bullets from anti-aircraft machine guns chased those fighter jets. However, those fighter jets shuttled through the anti-aircraft fire net like light petrels, which seemed very dangerous. But virtually unscathed.

"Da da da!"

The bullets from the aviation machine gun strafed the anti-aircraft gun positions on the side of the destroyer 'Purikaze', shooting sparks one by one. There were screams one after another, and many sailors from the island nation were shot to death. This also affected the anti-aircraft firepower of the destroyer "Urakaze".

Seizing this opportunity, four dive bombers and four torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy jointly launched an attack.

"Woo!"

There was a shrill howling sound, and four dive bombers began to dive from a high altitude at a large angle. Although the anti-aircraft guns on other warships also attacked these dive bombers. But the speed of the dive was too fast for those shells to hit at all.

At an altitude of less than 500 meters above the sea, these dive bombers dropped their bombs. Four aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms hit the destroyer Pufeng.

"Evade! Urgently evade!" Lieutenant Shiraishi Changyi roared with a serious face.

For a destroyer with a displacement of only more than 2,000 tons, such a heavy aerial bomb is undoubtedly fatal to it.

The destroyer "Pakaze" immediately turned in an emergency, trying to avoid these bombs.

"Torpedoes, four torpedoes were found on the port side!" A terrified roar sounded.

I saw four 533 mm heavy torpedoes on the port side, rushing towards the destroyer "Pakaze" at high speed.

"Boom! Boom!" The explosion sounded, and three of the four aerial bombs fell into the sea, splashing high water columns. The other hit the stern of the destroyer 'Urakaze'. The violent explosion almost destroyed the entire stern of the ship.

Not only that, four 533mm heavy torpedoes have also arrived. Although three torpedoes were missed, one torpedo slammed into the midship of the destroyer "Urakaze".

"boom!"

The warhead of the torpedo exploded violently, and the huge force completely destroyed the midship of the destroyer "Urakaze". Even the keel of the battleship was blown off, and the hull was broken in two.

The more than 200 crew members on the battleship all sank into the sea together with the battleship, and none of them survived.

The sinking of the destroyer "Urakaze" opened the way to attack the aircraft carrier "Ryujo". The carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy opened fire on the destroyer aircraft carrier "Ryujo" in groups.

The aircraft carrier "Ryujo" is a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of 13,000 tons, which can support up to 48 carrier-based aircraft. The firepower itself is only six double-mounted 127mm anti-aircraft guns and six quadruple-mounted 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns. Such anti-aircraft firepower is obviously insufficient for an aircraft carrier. Even the surrounding cruisers and destroyers can provide it with anti-aircraft firepower. But once the air defense net is torn apart, the consequences can be imagined.

"Attack! Blow up this aircraft carrier!"

"Woo!"

Eight dive bombers dived from high altitude to the aircraft carrier Ryujo. At the same time, eight torpedo attack aircraft took the opportunity to attack.

"Damn it, evade it!" The captain of the aircraft carrier Ryujo, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, never thought that they would be forced to this point in such a short period of time since the battle started.

The speed of the aircraft carrier Ryujo has increased to 29 knots, rushing from left to right, like a bull galloping on the sea.

Eight aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms slammed into the flight deck of the "Ryujo" aircraft carrier.

Five bombs fell into the sea, but the other three bombs hit the aircraft carrier Ryujo.

The flight deck of the "Longxiang" aviation was easily smashed through, and the bomb exploded in the hangar. The entire hangar was blown up into a mess, and it also caused a raging fire.

Almost at the same time, eight torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy also launched an attack, and eight 533mm heavy torpedoes quickly rushed towards the aircraft carrier Ryujo.

Although, the aircraft carrier Ryujo made an emergency evasion, causing most of the eight torpedoes to be missed. But still two torpedoes scored hits. Two large openings were torn near the waterline of the aircraft carrier Ryujo. Sea water frantically poured into the hull of the aircraft carrier 'Ryujō'.

In general, aircraft carriers are highly survivable, but that's for large carriers. A light aircraft carrier like the Ryujo aircraft carrier has a small displacement, low defense, and low reserve buoyancy. Once attacked, the possibility of sinking is also very high.

Although the damage control personnel on the "Ryujo" aircraft carrier tried their best to plug the loopholes, they ended in failure.

The dive bombers of the German Navy continued to attack, smashing aerial bombs one by one on the aircraft carrier Ryujo.

In less than ten minutes, the aircraft carrier was completely shrouded in flames and smoke. The entire hull seemed to be burning, and even the steel plates of the battleship were melted in the flames.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, and the aircraft carrier Ryujo was completely surrounded by flames. This is the sacrificial explosion of the ammunition depot, and the sacrificial explosion of the aerial bombs and torpedoes stored in it dealt a fatal blow to the aircraft carrier Ryujo.

Minutes later, the aircraft carrier sank into the sea.

Almost at the same time as the "Longxiang" sank, another light aircraft carrier "Fengxiang" was also dying on the sea. This aircraft carrier with a displacement of only a little over 10,000 tons suffered two torpedoes and more than a dozen heavy aerial bombs. It was already floating on the sea like a dead fish, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

At this time, another large number of planes arrived. This is a dive bomber group and a torpedo attack aircraft group that took off from Pohnpei Island. Their arrival greatly increased the attack power of the German Navy.

Colonel Johannes yelled even more excitedly: "Continue to attack and sink all the warships of the islanders, leaving none behind!"
