The Japanese Zero fighters were destroyed one after another, and at first Ueto Osa thought it was an isolated phenomenon, but after holding on for a while, Ueto Osa found that things were not what he imagined...... The Zero has already destroyed six of them, while the U.S. Wildcat has only lost two, which has never happened on the battlefield. According to Ueto Osa's original plan, it was still to defeat the US fighter formation in a short period of time, and then intercept the bomber formation.

But now, even the U.S. fighter formation can't stop it, and not only can't stop it, but even if it continues like this, it may even wipe out the whole army, so Ueto Osa had to loudly order to withdraw from the battle.

It was not difficult for the Zero fighter to withdraw from the battle, and its flexibility and speed were incomparable to that of the US Wildcat fighter, so it flew away without a trace after only a short while.

The U.S. pilots couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers, and Smith excitedly reported to Zhang Chi: "Sir, we defeated them, we really defeated them...... These bitches raised! ”

At the same time, Clifton, who heard the news, couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi in a daze, and said: "Great, we actually defeated Zero War, Zhang, you are amazing!" ”

On the other side, Ueto Daisa, who was still in the sky, reported to Kanta Takuma very depressedly: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we can't stop the US military planes!" ”

"What?" Kuan Tai Tuozhen couldn't help but scold: "The empire gave you the most advanced fighter plane, and you can't stop the enemy's fighter plane?!" ”

Ueto Osa replied: "I don't know what's going on either, the enemy seems to already know the weakness of our fighters, and we ......"

"I don't want to hear excuses like that again!" Kanta Takuma ordered: "No matter what, you must stop them!" ”

"Yes!" Ueto Osa replied helplessly, he originally planned to attack when the US aircraft group approached the fleet, at that time the fighters and warships may still have the strength to fight, but now...... Now that Kanta Takujin has already given the order. He could only execute.

So he quickly took the fighters to form an attack formation and killed them again.

But the results of this can be imagined...... With the U.S. military having a strong numerical advantage and mastering the weakness of the Zero War, these ten Zero Battles were quickly destroyed by the U.S. Army one after another.

"God!" Smith couldn't figure out how the Japanese were doing.

"Why did they come back?" Smith said, "Don't they know it's a suicide? ”

"Don't make a fuss, Major!" Clifton responded on his walkie-talkie: "The Japanese do that a lot!" ”

Such a move by the Japanese can be said to be brave, but at the same time it can be said to be stupid.

Because if these ten fighters are kept, then Smith and the others must always carefully protect the bomber formation, because if they are not careful, the fast Japanese Zero Battle will come out of nowhere to launch a surprise attack on the American aircraft group. On the other hand. If the Zero Combat was so disrupted along the way, it would undoubtedly affect the search of the Japanese fleet by the aircraft group...... Even the Japanese Zero can report the position of the US aircraft group all the way, so that the Japanese warships can dodge in the opposite direction, which is very useful for the Japanese army without radar.

However, the Japanese chose a seemingly heroic way and voluntarily gave it all up...... To be exact, it's not Ueto's fault, he has always been very clear about what he should do, and it's not to blame Kanta Takuma, because he doesn't understand the situation a little. He thought that the sixteen Zero Battles could at least block the US aircraft fleet to buy some time for the aircraft carriers, and he also thought that the situation reported by Ueto Osa was just an excuse for his timidity, who would have thought that the Zero Battle, which was called "invincible", would behave like this?!

However, the war is about reality, and no matter how many reasons the Japanese have for what they did, the fact is that the "Cactus" air force flew to the Japanese aircraft carrier at an unimaginable speed, and at this time, Takuma Kanta was still busy organizing bombers to urgently take off from the "Longchamp;" and although the Type 97 bombers were more suitable for bombing targets than for air combat, it was better to send them into the air than to wait for death on the aircraft carrier.

Soon. Kanta Takuma heard a panicked report from a pilot: "Enemy aircraft spotted!" Enemy aircraft were spotted ......"

Hirota Takuma ran out of the command room as soon as he raised his binoculars and looked into the air, when he saw a black patch of US fighter planes in the air. I knew I was done.

Kuantato really thought it was right, the "Longxiang" was not as good as the two aircraft carriers "Zuihe" and "Xianghe", and the "Zuihe" and "Xianghe" were aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons in the top few combat units in the Japanese army, not to mention the others, there were more than 60 anti-aircraft guns alone. The displacement of the "Longxiang" was only more than 10,000 tons, and there were only eight anti-aircraft guns plus six anti-aircraft machine guns. To make matters worse, there were only three warships escorting it at this time. The rest of the warships were still at a distance of 20 nautical miles from the "Longxiang" because they were worried that the target would be too large, and they were still rushing in this direction at full speed, but it was obviously too late.

The "Cactus" air force, of course, will not miss such a good opportunity.

When Manrum saw an aircraft carrier below, he suppressed his excitement and said to his subordinates: "It seems that today is our lucky day, it's time for us to perform!" ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in driving the bomber and dived down.

The "Longxiang" did not even make an evasive move. Because Kuan Tai Tuo really knows that the disparity in strength between the enemy and the enemy is too great...... More than 30 bombers against a light aircraft carrier and three warships, any evasive maneuvers are futile work.

As a result, the "Longxiang" was like a target in the sea, and the fighters and bombers strafed and bombed it, the bombs exploded one by one, and the torpedoes also beckoned to it one after another, with the result that the "Longxiang" was hit by more than 10 heavy bombs and was hit by a torpedo...... The reason why only one torpedo hit, it was because at this time there were only nine torpedo planes left in the "Cactus" air force, which, combined with the inferior performance of the Mark 13 torpedoes, made it extremely low.

But all this was enough, because the "Longxiang" was quickly blown into a large fireball, and the hull also heavily poured and flooded...... Looking at the way it looks, even if it hadn't sunk at the time, it couldn't be saved.

Indeed, the "Longxiang" sank after holding out for seven hours.

It is said that Takuma Kanta miraculously survived the attack on the Ryuchamp and was unscathed. However, in the end, he chose to sink to the bottom of the sea with the "Longxiang...... He did it wisely, because even if he returned alive, he was afraid that he would end up in a forced apology.
