At 7:25, Wang Kun and his comrades-in-arms drove the "Lightning Water Reconnaissance" and hid in the clouds at an altitude of 7,500 meters. The "Lightning Water Reconnaissance" is an extended version of the Lightning fighter, with a tandem two-seat layout, with all armor removed, pontoons installed, and a speed of 410 kilometers per hour. Domestically, a heavy cruiser with three lightning scouts and two light cruisers are usually carried in the country. He was the captain of the Xi'an Air Squadron, and because he was worried about the damage to the planes in the night battle, he moved to the Merizo Lagoon with ten other reconnaissance planes, and took off before dawn to search for the Japanese aircraft carriers.

This altitude is already the combat limit of the water reconnaissance (the maximum ceiling is different from the combat ceiling, the former requires a lot of preparation), and the rarefied cold air makes the engines sluggish, requiring more careful handling of the aircraft. Reconnaissance flights are lonely and dangerous, especially water reconnaissance, and in order to expand the search area, they are all single-plane operations, and if they encounter enemy fighters, they are basically dead or dead.

"Captain, I heard that my sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for you again?" The navigation observer in the back seat chatted while searching the water.

"Yes, hehe, five pounds and eight taels. What's the matter, you kid is also thinking of spring? Okay, when you go back, let your sister-in-law introduce you to someone, there are a lot of beautiful girls in her unit. Wang Kun showed off, sticking his face to the special periscope. This is equipment specially developed for reconnaissance aircraft. Because reconnaissance planes tend to have few personnel, there is a fear that the observers alone will miss something, so the pilots also need to undertake observation tasks. After searching for a while, he raised his head and flicked the joystick to tilt the plane a little eastward.

"Okay, if it happens, I promise to seal a big red envelope for my little nephew."

"you, if you don't help you introduce the object, you're ready to give the gift money?"

"Haha."

The two chatted without saying a word, and soon a small green dot appeared in front of the left side of the wing. "Captain. What island is that? Wang Kun looked at it, compared the reconnaissance photos sandwiched on the dashboard, and said: "What we just saw is Saipan, this should be Medinilia Island, the second smallest island in Marianas." ”

"It's so small, so no one should live there, right?"

"Nope. When I heard that when I first chose the seaplane landing field, I also considered this place and Anatahan Island in the northwest, but when I found that these two islands were surrounded by cliffs, I chose Agrihan Island, which was the worst defended by the Japanese. Wang Kun introduced the two islands. A gust of wind suddenly unsteady his plane. He quickly stopped looking and re-grasped the lever, but at this moment something seemed to light up under the cloud on the right. "Right! There seems to be something. He immediately alerted the observer. However, the clouds were very thick this morning, and the observers searched for half a day but did not find anything.

"Captain, the clouds are too thick."

"I'll descend a point, you pay attention. Watch out for enemy aircraft. Wang Kun didn't dare to be careless. Judging from past encounters, Zero occasionally climbed to this height, so he carefully operated the plane, trying to hide it in the clouds. Just as the plane crossed the gap between the two white clouds, a huge group of planes divided into three groups with an interval of no more than a quarter of an hour appeared impressively below. "Oh my God! At least eighty! Captain. Do you want. As the observer spoke, his hand was about to dial the radio, but Wang Kun hurriedly stopped: "Wait, we must find the aircraft carrier first." ”

Only then did the observer calm down. Immediately wrote down the location and number of the enemy planes where they were found, and calculated the angle at which they appeared, before reminding: "Northeast, they are flying from the northeast." ”

"Good. Pay attention. Wang Kun immediately returned to altitude and flew northeast, less than half an hour. The observer excitedly shouted, "Captain, look! Just below us, are aircraft carriers, certainly aircraft carriers! Hearing the shout, Wang Kun also immediately leaned on the periscope. Almost as soon as he put it up, he saw black smoke on the surface of the sea, followed by a dozen warships heading south at high speed. In the middle of the battleship, two aircraft carriers with wide decks are clearly visible.

"Report quickly! Watch out for enemy aircraft! Wang Kun suppressed his excitement and shouted loudly. Because he knew that the Japanese Navy was also equipped with radiolocators, which could be detected as long as they sent out their own signals. So he immediately grabbed the lever, pulled down the goggles and turned on the machine gun safe. Sure enough, only two minutes after the observer sent out the position of the attack aircraft group and the carrier, the opposing aircraft carrier began to maneuver, and several Zeros roared towards his height.

"Sit down!" Wang Kun shouted violently, and the plane quickly fled westward, and the observer in the back seat also hurriedly turned around and held the twin machine guns behind him. Although there were four 12.7mm machine guns on the water reconnaissance and a twin 7.62mm machine gun in the back, Wang Kun did not have the confidence to fight with Zero. Ten minutes later, his plane was hit in the tail. Fortunately, he had a good level of driving, changed out before the crash, and crash-landed on the island of Medinili. The two ended up on the island for a week before repairing the radio and contacting the fleet to come to the rescue. In recognition of his contributions and those of his comrades, both were awarded the Order of Combat Hero of the First Class upon their return. Unfortunately, they did not continue to fly forward after discovering the aircraft carrier, otherwise they would have found two Kongo-class battleships less than 50 nautical miles behind the aircraft carrier.

After the signal was issued, all 36 fighters on the Baiqi escort aircraft carrier were ready to take off, and the attack plane group that had taken off early immediately flew to the coordinates. Someone asked, didn't the White Rise have only 24 fighters? Where did the extra 12 come from? In fact, this was Pan Duheng's small tactic, he knew that his total aircraft volume was lagging behind (the Japanese army had Symbian), so he assembled the 16 spare "Lightning" that were dismantled into pieces on the three aircraft carriers overnight. But then there were too many planes, and it was simply not possible to ensure the order of take-off and landing. So he transferred the dive bombers of the White Rise to Guam, and after the torpedo squadron cleared the deck, he left 36 of the fighters participating in the first round of attack for the White Rise, after all, they had the most pressure here, making the total number of fighters of the White Rise exceed that of a fleet aircraft carrier.

At the same time, Bingwen immediately ordered the battleship formation to turn to the west and continue to widen the distance with the Baiqi at a speed of 31 knots. Pan Duheng still had 34 lightning planes left in his hand at this time, but he did not take off immediately, but ordered the aircraft carrier and the battleship to maneuver in the same course, leaving only eight in the sky. It's not that he is bold, but judging from the report of the reconnaissance plane, Ozawa has been fooled! So there's no need for him to take off immediately and waste fuel.

At 7:50 a.m., the second news came, and the Longxiang and Xiangfeng fleets appeared in the southeast of Guam.

"That's not right! This is diesel. I want aviation gasoline! See, the one with three yellow lines on the oil drum is. ”

"Raise the bomb. One, two, three! Yes, just buckle it and don't forget to unlock it. ”

"Sir, what's unlocking?"

"See, the red ribbon on the head, pull out the latch like this after hanging it! Do you understand? Then go, go! "The dilapidated Aganya airport was bustling with activity, and 30 Yaksha dive bombers that had just landed on the runway were surrounded by soldiers. The sporadic shells that landed on the periphery of the airport added to the tension. Due to the serious shortage of air crew, last night together with the "Sea King" who delivered the bombs, more than a dozen naval air crew non-commissioned officers brought Dai Anlan's maintenance soldiers to help, and used jeeps if there were no special bomb carts, dragged gasoline barrels without fuel tankers, or simply carried a dozen people on their shoulders. In the end, even the pilots jumped out of the cabin to help.

"Sir!" After learning of the discovery of the Japanese aircraft group, the naval liaison non-commissioned officer with the radio on his back forgot to salute and shouted to Dai Anlan: "The enemy plane is coming!" I need full anti-aircraft firepower to make sure the airfield can retract the planes, all! "The Hakuki is too dangerous, and in the event of an accident, there will be trouble with the plane having nowhere to land in the Battle of the Ryukyus. Therefore, it is particularly important whether Agania Airport can hold on in the next attack.

"Don't worry, Lao Tzu is standing on the runway today! Let's see which little Japan can up! Dai Anlan was also angry, and grabbed Liang Zhongshu after speaking: "What are you doing in a daze?" Tell the front. Counter charge! Be sure to keep the Japanese on the perimeter. Then go and pull the adjustable anti-aircraft guns over, and set up all the machine guns with tripods. ”

"Look, our fleet!"

The airfield was still busy, and the group of fighter jets taking off from the White Rise had already crossed Guam. Fly in the direction of Rota. "Damn, this time it's bad!" Dai Anlan looked at the direction of movement of the group. Suddenly, his face darkened. Judging by this posture, the area of this air battle is between Guam and Rota, and if there is that blind bomb thrown at the airport, maybe it will really be heroic on the runway. "What do you see? Come on, go and pull the captured Japanese machine guns over, and Lao Tzu still doesn't believe in this evil! ”

On the island, Dai Anlan piled up more than 20 antiaircraft guns and more than 100 general-purpose machine guns at the airport in one go, and also pulled jeeps and trucks with machine guns for air defense. Compared with the ground, the ace pilot of the Fifth Air Brigade in the sky, Captain Yu Xiaoning, is much calmer. The Navy has a naval family, and there is also an aviation family for flying. His father was the first Yu Lei turn (Yin Maiman turn) in the Liaodong Campaign that year, and later gradually became the father of the Air Force's strategic bombing, and Yu Lei, who is now the deputy chief of the General Staff of the Air Force. The four brothers in the family are all pilots, and the three older brothers are in the Air Force, and he joined the Navy.

"The knight calls the fortress, the knight calls the fortress, asks for guidance." As soon as he arrived over Guam, Yu Xiaoning called the radar station on Rota Island.

"The fortress received, three targets, 72 km to the northeast, 86 km to the southeast, and 29 km due north." The fortress is synonymous with the radar station on the island of Rota. This field radar was mounted on trucks, and the entire radar squad consisted of five trucks, so the Japanese army did not detect it in many air raids. Soon after receiving Wang Kun's telegram, the radar caught the approaching Japanese group.

As soon as he heard that there were three waves of aircraft, Yu Xiaoning snorted: "You really look up to me." Knight 1 and 2 will fight me to the north. Knight Three, the southeast is handed over to you. ”

"Knight No. 3 received, Third Squadron, follow me."

The 36 "Lightnings" split into two waves over Guam, and before Yu Xiaoning and the 24 "Lightnings" could completely seize the altitude, 17 Japanese Army Air bombers from Saipan arrived. As soon as they saw the "Lightning" group, the four Zeros, eight Army Falcons, and six 96 warships escorting the escort rushed over. Yu Xiaoning is not a rookie pilot in China, as the ace fighter pilot of the Fifth Air Group temporarily reinforced to the XN21 battle group, he shot down nine enemy planes in the Ryukyu naval battle alone, four of which were zero battles, and his record was second only to captain Zhang Peng.

So when he saw the escort fighters coming up, he immediately brought 12 to meet them, and let all the rest go to deal with the bombers. "Stupid! Hou Jun, what are you doing? What else to go around to hit a bomber? Bastard, I want to hit Lao Tzu. Seeing that a novice pilot actually used the tail chase attack method to deal with the fighter to deal with the bomber, Yu Xiaoning was so angry that he scolded. However, he was very busy now, and before he finished reminding him, the two Zeros rushed over from the side. See Zero. He did not hesitate to dive directly with the wingman, and after using the "Lightning" to dive faster to open up the distance, he quickly changed to a sharp ascent and played an X-shaped transposition with the wingman. These two Zero Battles were obviously not suitable for this kind of high-speed scissor tactics that only elite-level pilots dared to do, and they were soon bitten by Yu Xiaoning's wingman and shot down one of them.

"What's going on? Captain, this guy seems a little weird. After easily killing the other party, the wingman frowned, how could he be different from the group of people he encountered in the Ryukyu Naval Battle? Yu Xiaoning was also puzzled, looking at the second Zero Battle that was shot down by himself. I feel so relaxed. In fact, they were completely wrong, although there were many Zero and Hayabusa fighters on Saipan, most of them were pilots of the Army Airlines. Compared with the HNA system, the strength of the Japanese army is much worse, and even many people have just changed their equipment to the Zero War and Hayabusa. On the contrary, several 96 ships performed better in battle.

In the face of the "lightning" strangulation, the Japanese army aviation was no opponent at all, especially the 99 ship explosion and the 97 heavy explosion plane, which were attacked by the key attack, and were all killed by the second squadron in less than a few minutes. However, Yu Xiaoning was not happy for long, and thirty Zero Battles rushed into the battle circle from the north and south, and two "Lightning" planes were shot down immediately.

Ozawa's main forces and the fleet of the Japanese Fourth Fleet arrived.

"Knight One, follow me away from the fighter. Number two. Go on the offensive bombers! ”

In the face of several times the number of Japanese bombers, although the lightning attacked desperately, it was still rushed towards the White Rise by many who broke through the defense line.

On the sea, the Xi'an has been waiting solemnly. After converging with the White Rise. The Wuhan and Changsha heavy cruisers also arrived one after another, so that Bai Fu'an had three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and eight destroyers on his side. With the experience of the Ryukyus, he did not dare to use a dense formation with his hands and feet tied, so he immediately laid out a circular defensive formation. "Look at us! Fire! Knock down Little Japan! Bai Fu'an roared. The heavy cruiser Xi'an was the first to open fire. As a cutting-edge heavy patrol, the number of anti-aircraft guns on the Xi'an does not seem to have increased much. But the density and short-range combination is stronger. In the case of having 6 twin 120-mm semi-automatic high-level dual-purpose naval guns, there are also 6 single-mounted 85-mm anti-aircraft guns at medium and long distances. At close range were 12 twin 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 16 single-barreled 25-mm guns. Among them, the 120 and 85 mm anti-aircraft guns can fire radio proximity shells. Under the powerful anti-aircraft fire, the two 99 ships that rushed in front were quickly shot down.

This was the first wave of Japanese bombers, with a total of 12 Zeros, 10 Dive Bombers and 11 Torpedo Bombers. Compared with the army aviation, the Japanese naval aviation was significantly superior, and the lack of attack power attracted artillery fire, and the dive ship explosion and torpedo ship attack launched attacks from different directions. "Knock knock." After the Xi'an heavy patrol opened fire, the fleet's medium and large-caliber anti-aircraft guns followed, and the remaining 40-mm and 25-mm small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were also waiting for them, ready to deal with those who slipped through the net. At this moment, a bad news put Bai Fuan in a dilemma. "Sir, nine o'clock!" Amid the shouting of the bridge spotter, Nobutake Kondo, who had been chasing him all night, appeared on the edge of the radar. The appearance of one heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, and thirteen destroyers immediately made him secretly scream.

"Let the light patrol shrink to the back, guns, block them! Nautical, benchmark 23 knots, 10,000 meters! ”

"Fire! Boom, boom, boom. Without hesitation, Bai Fuan immediately ordered the main artillery to attack Kondo's Fifth Fleet. Eighteen 210-mm guns opened heavy fire on the Japanese Fifth Fleet at a distance of 25,000 meters, while the 36 155-mm guns of the light cruisers were also quickly raised.

"Lightning strike, lightning strike!"

Kondo is not stupid, he will not fight to the death with the only one heavy patrol and the other party's three heavy patrols. Seeing that the Baiqi formation was besieged by fighters, he immediately ordered a torpedo assault. The Japanese destroyers that came wildly made Bai Fuan more and more nervous, and the annular air defense lineup could not give full play to the fleet's firepower against the sea, so he immediately changed his formation, let the light cruiser protect the aircraft carrier and continue to maneuver southward, and he brought the heavy cruiser and destroyer on the periphery.

Kondo's harassment caused a hole in the originally meticulous air defense network, and the four 99 ships took the lead in breaking through the encirclement and launching an attack on the Baiqi. The small-caliber anti-aircraft guns of the light cruiser and the aircraft carrier were immediately activated, and thousands of shells instantly propped up a protective umbrella. However, in air defense operations, it is always the antiaircraft artillery that suffers, so the four 99 ships still completed the bombing. Fortunately, three of the bombs missed, and only one hit the port side of the No. 4 turret of the Fuchunjiang Light Cruiser. From a distance, the beautiful hull seems to have been dug out of a piece of "meat", and the wound is constantly spewing smoke outward. The bomb disabled turrets three and four at the same time. Half of the ship's power failed, but fortunately there was no loss of power, and it was still able to keep up with the speed of the fleet.

The crisis of the Fuchunjiang has not yet been resolved, and three more 99 dive ships exploded and 5 ships attacked to break through the outer defense line and rush into the inner circle. The attack was so ferocious that the Japanese pilots completely ignored the shells of the shock fleet. Before Bai Fu'an could find the best way to face both sides of the sea and air at the same time, he heard a loud bang again, and thick smoke billowed from the deck of the escort aircraft carrier Baiqi.

"Damn, report the loss!"

"The White Rise was shot in the stern deck, and six anti-aircraft guns failed."

Report. The banner of the White Horn, they said that it could maintain the speed. ”

"Watch out for torpedoes! Rumble! "The crisis of the Baiqi has not been resolved, and another explosion came from the Wuhan. A torpedo hit the port side of the bow, and the explosion pushed the heavy cruiser off course and cut the bow in half. The inner compartment is exposed. "The Wuhan has stalled!" Such a serious damage suddenly caused the Wuhan to slow down quickly, and the waterline was overwhelmed into the sea after the stern was filled with water. "No, it's about to be within the torpedo launch distance, and if the Wuhan doesn't leave, it will be besieged by Japanese destroyers." After the chief navigator handed over the calculated data to Bai Fu'an, he quickly estimated the angle of the Wuhan and the Japanese destroyer. Start worrying.

"Want to eat my heavy cruiser? It's not that easy! Bai Fuan stomped his feet, and the green tendons on the back of his hand holding the handrail burst out, and ordered the destroyer formation to take the initiative to meet the Japanese lightning strike formation, and at the same time let the Wuhan retreat towards the port of Apra. Destroyer striking. It is a dangerous offensive tactic, and although it can destroy Kondo's lightning strike, the destroyer itself is also threatened by the nine-three oxygen torpedo. But the destroyer captains were fearless, after receiving orders. Immediately break away from the formation and rush head-on to the Japanese destroyer. Their active attack had a noticeable effect, and at once the neat Japanese lightning strike formation was disrupted. The destroyers of both sides were strangled together at once. According to later statistics, a total of four Chinese destroyers were damaged and two were sunk, and three Japanese destroyers were also sunk and five were damaged.

"Sir, the second wave of enemy planes is coming!"

Soon after the Wuhan left, a report from the radar crew came from the phone that 12 Zeros of the Japanese Fourth Fleet (the remaining 14 were stopped by lightning), 16 99 dive ships and 16 97 torpedo ships attacked from the southwest. Bai Fu'an's heart sank, you must know that the wave just now was only one-third of the strength of the four aircraft carriers, and it caused three of his warships to be injured, even if he could defeat this wave, the remaining wave would probably kill the entire fleet.

Little did he know, though, that the final wave would never come.

"Why only one? Why?! Mishio Fuchizu sat in the cabin and stomped his feet and shouted. When the Fourth Fleet attacked the White Start, the third wave of 50 attack planes and 16 Zeros he had already led had circled around the circle twice, but he had never found the other two aircraft carriers that were supposed to be here. "Yaga, you must have been fooled! Don't fall in love with the war, follow me to attack the battleship formation in China, where are the remaining aircraft carriers! By this time, Mishio Fuchizu knew that he had won the plan, so he immediately threw the White Qi to the Fourth Fleet attack aircraft group, and rushed to the location where the battleship was found, and was afraid that there would be a shortage of fighters, so he asked 12 fighters of the Fourth Fleet to go with him.

"One?!"

After receiving the report from Mishio Fuchizu, Jizaburo Ozawa and Ryunosuke Kusaka also changed color at the same time, and the latter grabbed the staff officer who came to report like crazy, picked up the telegram and checked it repeatedly, and didn't believe it. "Fooled! Fooled! The carrier of the people of China is definitely in the middle of the battleship and that aircraft carrier! Ozawa finally understood what was wrong, so he immediately ordered all of them to take off in zero combat, and all the 20 attack planes that were left to respond were also sent out to attack Pan Duheng's main force, and also ordered the fleet to turn around and retreat. In the end, this order saved two Kongo-class battleships that had been dragged behind, but now they had become arrows, but he made a mistake in his busyness, and he forgot that he was the most important support force for the Akagi and Kaga, so when he turned around, the two aircraft carriers became the queen instead.

"There! Trebuchet II called, found the Japanese aircraft carrier, coordinates. ”

Less than ten minutes after the last 20 attack planes left, the first 16 Lightning and 24 Yakshas, which had been searching for the advance, spotted the Akagi and Kaga, desperately fleeing north. After Yan Shaobai, who led the team, gave a signal, he saw that all the Zero Battles patrolling around him rushed over. "Fighters separated from the zero battle, ready to drop bombs!" Yan Shaobai was the pilot who followed Lei Shaobao to attack the Fengxiang, and was the first to drop a bomb but was blown off. In fact, he didn't rush to attack last time, on the contrary, his bomb throwing skills were among the top five in the team, but he missed because he was too nervous at the time. So he was very annoyed all the time. This goodbye to the Akagi and Kaga, which made the 23rd Fleet sink in the sand, immediately adjusted their mentality, and after taking a few deep breaths, they pushed the operating stick to lead everyone to climb to a dive altitude of 6,000 meters, and hid in the clouds to form a column before roaring and rushing towards the aircraft carrier.

The performance of the Zero Battle was obviously inferior to the Lightning, and with the first battle of the Ryukyus, the "Lightning" pilots were no longer as nervous as in the first battle. So 16 "Lightning" quickly forced out of the zero battle and separated a dive channel. "Boom, boom." The Japanese ships on the surface of the sea also spotted a group of dive planes, and nearly 100 anti-aircraft guns on two aircraft carriers and 12 escort warships sprayed fireballs. Look down from the sky. The entire Japanese fleet was like a monster covered in fire. However, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese Navy was really weak, and the group of dive planes, which had been trained in the country's intensive air defense network, did not make much effort to break through the inner circle.

"Bastard, I'm fighting with you this time!" A Zero Fight rushed from the side and blew a "Yaksha" in front of his eyes. But this could no longer affect Yan Shaobai's mood. His eyes were now focused on his prey, like a golden eagle aiming only at its prey, with only the wide deck of the Akagi in his eyes, his fingers firmly on the trigger, and his eyes wandering over the deck and altimeter. When the pointer entered the red zone of 500 meters, he deliberately slowed down for a few seconds and dropped the bomb at an altitude of 300 meters.

His bomb was not an ordinary aviation armor-piercing bomb, but was sent to the base from Wuhan overnight before departure. Specially prepared to deal with the 21-gauge of the super battleship. The No. 21 bomb is a fine and miniaturized version of the No. 20 bomb used by the Air Force to deal with fortresses, with a total weight of 800 kilograms and a body made of nickel-molybdenum alloy. The warhead is even more of a hard tungsten alloy. If other countries see the No. 21 bomb, they will definitely say that they are losers, because the aviation armor-piercing bomb itself is powerful enough, and it also uses tungsten carbide to make warheads. What a luxury! However, they can only say who makes China's tungsten ore production account for more than 70% of the world's total. After the start of the war, there were many restrictions on export stocks.

The "loser" bombs, which were only issued with experienced elite pilots, lived up to expectations, and under Yan Shaobai's precise control, they successfully hit the central elevator of the Akagi. The five-metre cement bomb swooped down, gouging through not only the steel lift platform, but also through the second hangar deck and the third HNA deck, and finally continuously penetrating the waterline deck and all the way to the boiler room before exploding. After the 220-kilogram explosives exploded in the boiler room, the entire boiler room and several high-pressure steam rods burst out, and dozens of Japanese sailors were scalded to death in an instant. Shock waves, gunsmoke, and steam mixed into a wave of air that rose from the middle of the deck of the Akagi. "Haha boiler room, it must be the boiler room!" Seeing the milky white steam in the gunsmoke, Yan Shaobai knew what he had hit. The boiler room is the core power compartment of the battleship, and an explosion here is equivalent to the destruction of the Akagi's half-life. Sure enough, after Yan Shaobai was hit, the Akagi quickly lined up, making it easier for Yaksha to drop bombs. Within minutes, two bombs hit the aft deck.

The violent explosion was deafening, producing a column of black smoke up to 100 meters high, and the scorching wave of air lifted the rear deck of the Akagi, and the steel beams twisted and rolled in a strange shape. Just as the Akagi was fatally attacked, the nearby Kaga was also hit by a bomb on the port side, and although it did not directly hit the hull, the splashed sea water not only damaged several anti-aircraft guns, but also tore a crack underwater.

For a moment, the entire sea surface was chaotic with bombs, and the two aircraft carriers and the two heavy cruisers were surrounded by water spots after the explosion. When Yan Shaobai damaged two aircraft carriers at the cost of losing three aircraft carriers to complete the attack wave, the main force following behind took over the battlefield. The second wave, a full 38 Yaksha and 42 Ospreys, under the protection of fighters, ravaged the Japanese fleet from all sides under Japanese artillery fire. At 8:20 a.m., the fifth bomb completed the killing of the Akagi, and the bomb poured into the deck from the rear of the bridge, and the explosion caused the aviation gasoline depot containing hundreds of tons to burst, and the spilled oil and gas formed a secondary explosion. Flying gasoline and smoke poured out of the ship's cabin and spread in all directions, followed by the explosion of anti-aircraft gun ammunition depots and torpedo storage tanks, deafening sounds one after another, and the Japanese officers and men howled and struggled in the sea of purgatory, but wherever they hid were flames and flying fragments. Flames rushed onto the main deck, and the entire flight deck began to burn. In less than a few minutes, the supercarrier, which was converted from a battlecruiser and fully loaded with a load of up to 41,300 tons, became the flagship of the First Air Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet, sank in the vast Pacific Ocean with more than 1,500 officers and men.

At the same time as the sinking of the Akagi, the "Osprey" torpedo attack aircraft also sounded the death knell of the Kaga. This aircraft carrier, which was converted from a battleship, was obviously much more resistant to beating than the Akagi converted from a battle cruiser, and it didn't even stall after eating a few bombs. However, no matter how powerful a battleship is, it has natural enemies, and the "Osprey" does not have the flashiness of a dive bomber, but it is definitely the deadliest assassin. The two torpedoes hit the starboard side of the Kaga first, and finally the monster gradually slowed down, but when the "Osprey" pilot was dumbfounded, the deck of the Kaga had already tilted to the right, but he did not expect that the port side gradually regained its balance after eating three torpedoes. However, this is also the last impression it left on the world, the aircraft carrier, which was seriously flooded, finally completely stalled, stopped on the sea surface and swirled, becoming the target of aviation torpedoes. In total, nine bombs and eleven torpedoes hit the Kaga.

Just 12 minutes after the sinking of the Akagi, the Kaga, which was fully loaded with a load of 42,541 tons, sank in the deep sea 80 days northeast of Pagan Island.

After completing the mission of sinking the aircraft carrier, the remaining third wave of "Yaksha" and "Osprey" rushed towards the two heavy cruisers Mogami and Mikuma, who were still resisting, and several other escort warships. The escort ship, having lost air cover, was no match for the attack aircraft at all, and in less than a few minutes black smoke rose from it. However, due to the fact that the attack aircraft group ran out of ammunition, the two heavy cruisers were only injured and did not sink immediately. At this time, Yan Shaobai and other pilots who took the lead in completing the attack all flew back at full speed, because everyone knew that the battle was not over yet. Two top-class heavy cruisers are still on the sea, there are still two aircraft carriers southwest of Guam, the Japanese Fifth Fleet is still there, and two Kongo-class battleships are still missing
