"Attack the destroyer in the southwest direction first, and after it is sunk, attack the battlecruiser inside!" A squadron leader of the German carrier-based aircraft unit ordered. The radio conveyed his orders to the ears of every pilot.
"Yes, boss!" The pilots replied one after another.
Four carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets took the lead in attacking the destroyer. Use aviation machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to suppress the anti-aircraft firepower above, and fight for opportunities for subsequent dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.
"Attack!"
Four dive bombers began to dive from an altitude of two thousand meters. There was a sharp whistling sound, as if it was about to burst people's eardrums.
"Yaga! The German dive bombers, quickly evade!" Lieutenant Sato Yokoi Minoru, the captain of the destroyer "Asashio", shouted loudly.
He knows that these aviation armor-piercing projectiles are undoubtedly lethal to a destroyer with a displacement of only 2,400 tons. Once hit, it is a dead end.
At a height of only 500 meters above the sea, four dive bombers of the German Navy dropped bombs. Four heavy aviation armor-piercing shells weighing 500 kilograms roared and smashed towards the destroyer Asashio.
At this moment, the destroyer Asashio turned wildly, trying to avoid these bombs.
However, of the four bombs, three fell into the sea, splashing high water columns. Another bomb hit the destroyer Asashio. The heavy bomb directly penetrated the rear deck of the destroyer Asashio and exploded inside. The huge power blew up the stern of the destroyer Asashio, and the speed of the battleship began to drop as a result.
At this time, two torpedo attack aircraft approached to a distance of only 800 meters from the destroyer 'Asashio' and dropped torpedoes. Two 533mm heavy-duty torpedoes fired at the Asashio crazily at a speed of 40 knots.
The destroyer Asashio wanted to evade, but it simply couldn't. The previous aerial bombs blew up their steering gear. This made the sailors of the island nation who occupied the island can only watch the torpedoes attacking them.
"Boom boom boom!"
Some sailors fired anti-aircraft guns into the sea in an attempt to destroy the torpedoes. However, this is simply futile.
A heavy torpedo hit the side of the destroyer Asashio.
A violent explosion sounded, and the side of the destroyer 'Asashio' was completely shrouded in flames. In the violent explosion, a big hole was torn open in the side of the destroyer Asashio. Sea water frantically poured into the battleship. The damage control personnel directly concluded that the destroyer Asashio could not be saved.
Lieutenant Assistant Yokoi Minoru had no choice but to order to abandon the ship.
In just two minutes, the destroyer Asashio sank into the sea.
The sinking of the destroyer 'Asashio' caused a loophole in the air defense network of the battlecruiser 'Amagi'. The carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy can take advantage of this loophole and go directly to attack the battlecruiser "Amagi". In fact, the carrier-based aircraft force of the German Navy did exactly that.
"Attack the battlecruiser 'Amagi' with all your strength, and it must be sunk!" The squadron leader ordered.
12 BF-109 fighter jets launched an attack on the battlecruiser 'Amagi', using aviation machine guns and machine guns to suppress the ship's anti-aircraft firepower. Although some BF-109 fighter jets were shot down by powerful anti-aircraft fire during the battle, they also put a lot of pressure on the anti-aircraft fire of the battlecruiser "Amagi". Many anti-aircraft batteries were strafed and suffered heavy losses.
What's more terrible is that at this time, the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy launched an attack on the battlecruiser "Amagi". This is truly fatal to the battlecruiser 'Amagi'!
"Baga! Are those guys stupid pigs? Don't worry about those fighter jets, they can't pose a fatal threat to us. Those dive bombers and torpedo attack planes are what we have to deal with!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro loudly scolded.
Seeing that their anti-aircraft firepower was completely attracted by the German Navy's carrier-based fighter jets, so that those dive bombers and torpedo attack planes could attack in an orderly manner, Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro almost went crazy.
"General, this is the first time our air defense troops have participated in actual combat. They have no actual combat experience, so they were led by the nose by the German carrier-based aircraft." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said.
"The German bombers dropped their bombs, evade!"
The huge battlecruiser 'Amagi' started an emergency turn. Although this is a huge warship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, the steering is very timely.
However, under the attack of the four dive bombers of the German Navy, they still did not completely avoid it. A heavy aviation armor-piercing projectile hit the stern of the battlecruiser "Amagi".
The armor on the top of a main turret was penetrated, and the shell exploded inside the turret, destroying the entire turret. Fortunately, there is no shell or propellant in the barrel at this moment, otherwise, it will cause more serious consequences.
At the same time, four torpedo attack planes also took the opportunity to attack. Four 533mm heavy torpedoes rushed towards the battlecruiser 'Amagi' at high speed.
The huge battlecruiser 'Amagi' rushed left and right like a bull.
However, in front of the four heavy torpedoes distributed in a fan shape, they still could not completely avoid them. A heavy torpedo hit the midship of the battlecruiser 'Amagi'.
Although the waterline armor of the battlecruiser "Amagi" is as thick as 254 mm, the defensive performance of VC steel is far stronger than that of ordinary armor steel. However, in front of the warhead of heavy torpedoes, there is still no way to do this.
The waterline armor of the battlecruiser 'Amagi' was torn apart, and a big hole was blown out. Sea water began to pour into the battleship frantically.
Damage control personnel immediately carried out emergency repairs, but because the opening was too large to be blocked, they could only choose to close the watertight door to prevent further influx of seawater. This affected the speed of the battlecruiser "Amagi".
The carrier-based aircraft unit of the German Navy seized this opportunity and frantically launched an attack on the battlecruiser 'Amagi'.
Especially those dive bombers, each capable of carrying two heavy aerial bombs. These aerial bombs caused great damage to the battlecruiser 'Amagi'.
After more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the battlecruiser 'Amagi' slowly sank into the sea. After suffering 3 heavy torpedoes and 13 heavy aviation armor-piercing shells, this huge warship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons couldn't bear it anymore.
