"Quickly replenish ammunition and fuel, attack aircraft and bombers are ready to take off, follow their planes to bomb their airfield and Qingdao port!" At 7:23, Nagumo Tadaichi ordered in a low voice. At this time, the planes of the vanguard army had just retreated, and their airfield should not be much defenseless.

"Enemy attack!" However, at 7:32 a.m., just as the first 96 land attack plane took off, an alarm sounded from the reconnaissance plane that had just been raised.

"Enemy attack?" Nan Yunzhong raised an eyebrow, and the doubts in his heart were washed away in an instant by the roar of the engines of more than seventy planes in the sky.

"Behind them, they come from behind!" Someone shouted. Nagumo Zhong's heart jumped, and he suddenly thought that in the battle just now, the direction he ordered the reconnaissance plane to explore was only the land direction, and the fleet on the sea, he didn't believe that anyone could challenge the Imperial Navy. In the battle just now, apart from the reconnaissance planes that went out to continue monitoring the movement on the land, several reconnaissance planes around the fleet were either driven away or shot down, and there were only two left in the sky just now.

They were also concerned about the possible attack of submarines in the land direction and on the sea surface, and when a large number of planes in the back drilled out of the clouds, they found out too late.

"Emergency take-off!" Nagumo Zhongyi closed his eyes in pain, at this time, the deck was full of replenished ammunition and fuel, and it would be detonated if he was not careful, and the deck could not be cleared, so how many planes could he fly?

There were still eight vigilant 96 warships in the sky above the Akagi, and the air battle just now had consumed a lot of fuel and ammunition, and they could not support it for long in the face of a large number of enemy planes swarming over.

The Akagi escaped for the time being because of the leader, and the Fengxiang, which was left behind, was attacked first.

The aircraft carrier Fengxiang bears the title of the world's first real aircraft carrier, and its name is very large. But by this time it had been reduced to a second-rate aircraft carrier. Its fastest speed is only 25 knots, and the carrier-based aircraft is only 21. It turned out to have only 4 140-mm guns and 2 76 guns on it. But in the 35 years of the Fourth Fleet incident, it was damaged by a challenge typhoon and was refitted. In 36, 140 guns were removed and anti-aircraft machine guns were added.

In the battle just now, the fighters above it lost three planes, and at this time, after receiving an order from Nagumo Tadaichi, they were preparing to take off the first ship. Because it has fewer carriers, 15 commonly used and 5 in reserve, there are only ship battles and ship explosion aircraft. The torpedoes of ship-blasters are the most suitable for dealing with ships in the harbor. Before he came, he had already decided that this time he would completely sink the Ashigara and Izumo.

Lacking air defense and unprotected fighters, it could only be passively beaten in the face of the planes of the vanguard army rushing into the sky at this time.

The characteristic defect of the 25-mm anti-aircraft gun was exposed in the face of the thickly armored SBD-5 dreadnought dive bomber that dived down, and three bombs were dropped on the dreadnought hood that was diveled from a high altitude.

"Haha, hit!" Huang Yiyang laughed loudly. There were also marks of an anti-aircraft machine-gun hit on his front windshield, but the Type 5 windshield had bullet avoidance measures and was not injured. But the 726-kilogram bombshell under his fuselage was accurately thrown on top of the Fengxiang's head. The flames and smoke soared into the sky, and in the smoke, dozens of planes pierced through the curtain of death and swooped down on the Ryuchamp and Akagi, who were traveling together. The two planes and eight alert planes that took off urgently on board the Akagi went up together.

But this time, the vanguard planes were headed by 32 F6F-3 Hellcat carrier-based fighters, and the same six 12.7 mm high-power Browning machine guns were intertwined in the air into a fire net, directly tearing the three 96 ships in front of them to pieces.

A ship battle also flew on the Longxiang, but it was quickly beaten down by the 12 dreadnoughts that pounced on it, and the dreadnought dive bomber also had two 12.7m2 machine guns on its wings, and 24 large-caliber machine guns attacked a 96 ship battle, so that it had almost no time to react, and dragged it down with black smoke.

"Boom!" At 7:41, there was another loud bang on the Fengxiang, and the accumulation of ammunition and fuel was detonated by a 45-kilogram bomb that fell on the deck. Explosions rang out continuously, and waves of flame-filled attacks swept through everything on the deck.

At the same time, the first explosion sounded on the Longxiang.

Another battleship on the Longxiang that was about to take off was destroyed on the deck runway, and the flying debris stopped a nearby 25mm twin anti-aircraft gun position, where five of the seven men fell, leaving only two devils shouting loudly with bloodstained faces.

The 4 twin 25mm guns on the Longxiang continued to work in the face of the incoming dive bombers at this time, and the 24 13mm guns were even worse, as long as they didn't hit the vital point, they didn't work at all for the thickened armor Dreadnought 5. Only the four twin 127mm dual-purpose guns were still somewhat threatening, but their low rate of fire was of little use against a group of planes that pounced on them. A 725-kilogram bomb landed on the deck of the Longxiang, penetrated two decks and exploded inside, and the rolling air wave directly lifted the two 96 ships near the sea into the sea, and thick smoke rose from the big hole.

"Didn't detonate fuel and ammunition?" Chen Qiguang looked back at his results and said with some dissatisfaction, just now for the drop of that bomb, he was hit by a 13mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullet on his fuel tank, but the Dreadnought 5 added rubber to the fuel tank and had the function of self-closing the fuel tank.

"Look at me!" Huang Xinrui shouted, rushed down directly from more than 3,000 meters, threw out a parabola of the bomb hanging under the belly of the plane, and quickly pulled it up. The cluster bombs below have exploded in the air, and the sub-bombs have exploded everywhere, igniting the fuel replenished on the ship, and the fire has made the smoke obscure the vision of the devil's anti-aircraft artillery, but the Longxiang below is a good big target.

The TBF-1C Avenger torpedo attack plane piloted by Jiang Bichuan took advantage of the thick smoke to sweep across the sea and fly close to the Longxiang. The bomb bay in the belly of the aircraft had been opened, and the 907-kilogram torpedo fell into the water, stirring up white waves and heading straight for the Longxiang in the distance.

Shinji Watanabe piloted a 96 ship battle just climbed up from the deck of the Akagi, and found Jiang Bichuan's torpedo machine, and directly pulled the 7.7mm machine gun to drive it away, but the machine gunner on Jiang Bichuan's machine also opened fire immediately, and the two 12.7 machine guns on the wings directly damaged the left wing of the 96 ship battle, and Shinoji Watanabe relied on his personal skills to stabilize the unbalanced plane, and went around the back of the Avenger.

However, the machine gunner Feng 345 immediately opened the rear seat power turret, and the 12.7 mm on the top immediately opened fire and swept towards the 96 ship battle of Shinji Watanabe.

"How can the firepower of a torpedo machine be stronger than that of a fighter?" Shinji Watanabe let out a grief in his heart, and he could no longer control the battle of the 96 ship, which had received a few more bullets, and spiraled into the sea water in an unbalanced manner.

"Boom" At the moment when Shinji Watanabe fell, he saw a huge wave on the right side of the Ryuchi.

When the Avengers first entered service, they were criticized for their poor performance, but later it was found out that it was a torpedo problem, and the American torpedoes were the same as the Germans, because of the deviation of pressure and magnetic field problems, and the vanguard army had such an experience for a long time, and the later improved type was applied when it was produced, and these problems no longer existed.

At 7:47, the torpedo accurately hit 1.8 meters below the waterline of the Longxiang, tearing open a large hole, and a large amount of seawater poured into it.

An aircraft carrier is similar to a battleship, and the explosions and burns on the deck can only damage him, but they are not fatal. At this moment, the deck of the Fengxiang was already full of flames and smoke, but it was still sailing. But it was only temporary, and it lost its air defense capability, and it was soon hit by a torpedo machine piloted by Lin Yuezun.

At 7:52, Lin Yuezun's torpedo directly concentrated in the middle of the Fengxiang, and after a muffled sound, the Fengxiang suddenly lifted up, sank again, and fell together, damaging its hull structure, and the damage at the breach was even greater.

"Hit!" Takagi Takeo stayed on the Mutsu in a hurry, facing the planes in the sky, all they could do was bombard them with anti-aircraft guns from a distance, but these planes were far away from them, even the few Hakuro-class destroyers in front of them were not used. At this time, he said that he did not attach much importance to air defense, even if the newly built Bailu-class destroyers only had a total of five 127-mm three-year guns and two single-mounted 13-mm machine guns, and the air defense could only be a dish.

For these ships, the planes of the vanguard army ignored them and went all out to attack the devil's aircraft carrier first. This time, all 69 planes on the Canglong were dispatched, leaving only the bare Canglong on the surface of the sea. At this time, in addition to leaving two submarines there for protection, Meng Xiang took a gamble.

The planes on the land airfield in front of them acted as bait, and when the planes on the devil aircraft carrier were almost consumed, they were the prey of the Canglong that slowly approached from behind. He was so arrogant that he ignored the attack from the sea, there were battleships, there were planes that probed the sea, and they alone missed the sky behind them.

The attack of the planes taking off from the land airfield in front of them concealed the approach of the Canglong.

When the retreat signal was given by the army aviation planes of the vanguard army, all the planes on the Canglong took off and lined up in formation to wait for the retreat signal to be issued. When the vanguard army and air force withdrew, they flew towards this direction. At this time, the devil's plane happened to be landing and replenishing.

At this time, with the attack of all the dispatched aircraft groups, achieving better results was enough to offset the possibility of the Canglong being sunk.

However, even if the Canglong is sunk, the more valuable planes can fly directly to the land not far away, without much impact. After all, the team formed by Meng Xiang, the cost of the aircraft is the big one, even if the Canglong is rebuilt, according to the cheapness of the base, the value of the aircraft is not as great, not to mention that it can be repaired.

At 7:57, there was a "boom", and another torpedo hit the somewhat inclined Fengxiang, which accelerated its sinking.

At this time, only the Akagi was emitting black smoke, and the alert planes beside him blocked the initial attack, but in the face of the fire of nearly 200 large-caliber machine guns from 32 aircraft, 7 of the 9 planes defending had been shot down, but 3 flew up on the deck, continuing to block the onslaught of Hellcat.

"Quick, fly!" Captain Junno Mizuno commanded the planes on the deck loudly, "Push the debris into the sea, and the oil drums will also be pushed down." "The oil drums that are too late to carry can only be hidden dangers on the deck, and the rest is no longer taken care of, and the most important thing is to save your life.

"All anti-aircraft artillery personnel are in place to support the air!" At this time, there were more planes of the vanguard army in the sky, and there were fewer planes of the devils, and there were more planes of the vanguard army that bombarded the sky.

Nagumo Tadaichi, however, commanded the fleet to come closer, using the anti-aircraft guns on each ship to build a fleet air defense network, and fighting alone would only break each one.

"Boom!" A tall column of water rose from the water near the Akagi.

"Cannonballs!" Immediately a devil shouted.

"Boom" another column of water rose up, higher than the grappling plane.

"Gunboats around?" Judging by the splash, this was caused by a shell from a large-caliber artillery, Nagumo Zhongichi couldn't help but ask.

A reconnaissance plane hiding in the distance, after the third shell sounded, sent back information that no battleship had been found within thirty nautical miles around, and the direction from which the shell came was land in the distance.

"Land? It's about 30 nautical miles from land? Nanyun Zhong was surprised. In this way, the artillery there can fight at least 55 kilometers.

"They have huge cannons, but the caliber of the shells seems to be up to 350 mm. What kind of cannon is this? Nagumo's judgment was quite accurate, the caliber of the first-class French cannon that came from a distance was only 280 mm, and the power of ultra-high muzzle velocity could be worth 350 mm of naval artillery bombardment.

"Why can't you beat it accurately!" Because at this time the place of the battle was close to the coast, although the shore artillery could not hit it, but the French artillery could indeed hit it. The accuracy rate within 60 kilometers is no problem, but Meng Xiang is still a little handy.

"If you miss a shot, I'll slowly kill you with shells!" Meng Xiang looked at the aiming cross circle displayed on the screen, which was always unable to match the red dot displayed by the radar, and couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Boom!" The rate of fire of the first-class French cannon was one shot per minute, and the shells that kept falling next to the Akagi not only splashed up columns of water that rushed to the sky, but also accidentally hit the destroyer Cool Breeze. The Dew-class destroyer, which had just been completed last year, was cut off by a single round of French cannon shells and sank to the bottom of the sea.

At 8:12, the Akagi finally received a shell, half of the island-shaped superstructure was smashed, and Nagumo Tadashi crawled out of the command room in embarrassment.
