"Baka, hurry up, don't bother about those fighter jets. Concentrate all the artillery fire and attack the enemy's left flank torpedoes.”The warships near Titan all aimed their cannons at the 20-odd Torpedo Fighters like crazy.?
The black dots kept exploding around the attack planes. Because they were scattered, the anti-air cannons didn't do well. They didn't hit a single one within seven to eight kilometers.
"Right full helm." Titan's captain was getting anxious as he said to the helmsman. Battleships were not cruisers or destroyer. Every sinking of a battleship would bring huge losses to the Japanese Navy. Although they were not as important as aircraft carriers, they were not warships that could be used up at will.?
Since the enemy's firepower had gone to attack the aircraft, Chen Zhongyan thought about it and said in the radio," Eagle Squadron, are there any survivors?”
"This is Eagle 3, over.”
"This is Eagle 5, over.”
"This is Eagle No. 8, over.”
"This is Eagle 9, over.”
"This is Eagle 15, over.”
"This is Eagle 18, over.”
"This is Eagle 20, over.”
"This is the captain of the Eagle. Eagle 15, Eagle 18, Eagle 20, return immediately. Eagle 3, Eagle 5, Eagle 8, Eagle 9, continue to follow me to the enemy's rear.”
"Eagle No. 15 refuses to carry out the order, over.”What made Chen Zhongyan unhappy was that Eagle No. 15 refused his order.
"It's not too late to regret now.”
"There's no need for that, Captain. We've already seen the enemy's third battleship. It's at the 27th position of the enemy fleet, southwest.”The wings of the Flying Eagle No. 15 were already on fire. The 96 Warship was a Japanese aircraft, so it naturally had the problem of catching fire easily.
Eagle No. 15 aimed its nose at the island of the Battleship Bi Rui and crashed into it fiercely.
"Eagle 15, Eagle 15.”Chen Zhongyan called twice in a row, but no one responded. It seemed that he had been sacrificed.
"Falcon 1 to 8, attack the enemy battleships. Everyone else, retreat immediately.”The Falcon Captain personally led the team to attack Titan.?
Eight torpedoes were dropped from 300 meters ahead of Titan and 400 meters to the port, sealing off all the places Titan could hide.?
"Step aside." The captain shouted.
"No, the route has been blocked. We're going to be hit.”The helmsman broke out in a cold sweat. Such a big thing with such a huge inertia would not be so easy to stop. He could only try his best to reduce the number of torpedoes on the warship.
How could the well-trained attack pilot let him have his way? Although Titan had avoided the four torpedoes on the port side, the ship's hull was still hit by the four torpedoes that came from the front. The thick armor was easily torn apart by the torpedoes that were filled with explosives, and seawater surged into Titan's lower cabin.?
Titan's sailors found everything they could to block the huge hole that had been blasted open by the torpedoes. However, the seawater was pouring in too quickly, and it did not take long for the seawater to cover their heads.?
"Commander, quickly leave this place. The ship is about to sink.”Titan's captain, Kumaguchi Watanichi, had ordered the fleet commander, Fujino, to leave Titan. This ship was definitely going to sink. After eating so many torpedoes, it would be strange if it did not sink.?
Titan was only attacked from behind, but it would definitely sink before Hazel Ship. Hazel Ship's fire was very fierce, but it was still able to hold on. Hazel Ship's captain had not given up yet, and the sailors on the ship were all trying to save their ship.?
Yet another attack aircraft was sunk by the anti-air cannons before it could even fire its torpedoes. The Japanese weren't fools, and the ones who were hit were all battleships. Even the fools had come back to their senses. The cruisers and the destroyer squeezed to the side of the remaining two battleships like crazy, providing anti-air firepower for the battleships. If necessary, they could also block the torpedoes for the battleships.
"Abandon the mission and retreat. Falcon One, have your men throw the remaining torpedoes to other warships.”Chen Zhongyan knew that the enemy had already made preparations. If they dragged on, they would all die there. Only an idiot would do something that they knew was impossible, and the success rate was less than 10%.
"Falcon One received. Little ones, do you hear me? If they couldn't eat big fish, it wouldn't be bad to have a few small fish.”
Then, the torpedoes turned around and aimed at the cruisers that were attacking them with anti-air cannons.
"Hurry up, full left helm. The starboard torpedoes are approaching.”The cruiser was not a battleship. It could turn and accelerate faster than a battleship. However, there were too many torpedoes. Six torpedoes were fired from all directions, and the waves on the water made the Japanese sailors on the deck go crazy. Before the torpedoes hit, their gunners performed exceptionally well and shot down three attack planes. It was a revenge.
After the torpedoes were thrown, the attack planes were very fast. However, before they left the range of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, another two were shot down.
Up until now, nearly half of the Torpedo attack planes had been shot down, leaving 14 of them. The fighter planes were even worse, leaving only six of them. Two of them seemed to be struggling to fly, and their wings were damaged by anti-aircraft cannons. Fortunately, the pilots had good skills and were barely able to maintain their balance and not plunge into the sea.
Titan had already begun to tilt, and the crew had begun to abandon the ship. Only Titan's captain was left behind. It was unknown when it started, but it seemed to have become an international practice for the captain to sink together with the warship. This time was no exception.?
This time, the Japanese reconnaissance planes had already launched. Since there were carrier planes, there must be motherships. The Japanese fleet had suffered such a loss, so it was impossible for them to remain silent.
"This is Falcon 24. Three enemy reconnaissance planes have been detected. I repeat, three enemy reconnaissance planes have been detected.”
" Falcon One received, over." They couldn't allow the enemy's reconnaissance planes to follow them, or else the entire fleet would be exposed. At that time, they would lure the Japanese fleet over.
"Calling Eagle One, calling Eagle One, over.”
"Eagle No. 1, copy. Please go ahead, over.”
"Three enemy reconnaissance planes are following behind us, over.”
" Roger that. Fly for a while more and keep them away from the enemy fleet. I'll start climbing now. Falcon One, from now on, you're in command. Bring them back to the mothership safely. Over."”
"Falcon One received. Good luck, over.”
"Thank you for your blessings. Goodbye.”Chen Zhongyan looked at the fuel gauge of the plane. It was troublesome, but he still pulled the nose and climbed up.
The weapons used in the 96 Battleship Warfare were really bad. They would not be able to do so in a few years. However, no matter which country it was, there were still a large number of biplanes in service, so the 96 Battleship Warfare was not too backward. Two 7.7MM machine guns were enough to deal with a few heavy reconnaissance planes.
