Chapter 1165: Heavy losses
The surprise attack of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet by the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Chinese Navy was undoubtedly very successful. The U.S. Navy www.biquge.info unprepared, the U.S. Navy suffered extremely heavy losses. In the face of the attack of the Chinese Navy, the US Navy had no power to resist at all. Even the Chinese Navy itself did not expect that this attack would be so easy.
Four U.S. Navy aircraft carriers anchored in Oahu's military harbor were the first targets of the Chinese Navy. From the beginning of the battle to the sinking of these four aircraft carriers, it took less than ten minutes. For the Chinese Navy, the greatest threat is the American aircraft carrier. After dealing with these aircraft carriers, the Chinese Navy will not encounter much threat in the Pacific Ocean in the future. Of course, the US Navy's Pacific Fleet has two aircraft carriers, the USS Saratoga and the USS Langley, which are no longer in the Oahu military port at this time. However, in the follow-up operations, the Imperial Navy obviously will not let go of these two aircraft carriers, and only by sinking them can the Chinese Navy be regarded as truly victorious.
Of course, the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, which is now ravaging the Oahu military port, does not have time to think about it so much. The most important thing for them is to get rid of all these American warships anchored in the Oahu military port. Sinking one more American warship now will give the Imperial Navy an even more advantage in the future. After disposing of the American aircraft carriers, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Imperial Navy began to lay siege to the American battleships in the harbor. Although the battleship has gradually become obsolete, it is still capable of taking on the task of bombing the island with air defense. In particular, the Americans had moored so many battleships in the harbor, and if they were to blow them all up, it would be enough to make the Americans' hearts ache for a long time.
"Bastard! Damn Chinese, come on, watch Lao Tzu knock you down. "On the battleship 'New Jersey', a black American soldier is maneuvering a 40-millimeter anti-aircraft gun and firing at the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy in the sky. By the time the Chinese Navy had taken out the U.S. Navy's aircraft carriers, most of the U.S. Navy sailors had woken up. Received a sudden blow, the vast majority of the US Navy was defeated and panicked and did not know what to do. But there are still a few people who began to use the weapons around them and prepared to fight back.
"Knock knock!" The 40-mm anti-aircraft guns fired wildly, and the shells were constantly in the air. A YL4 torpedo attack plane that was about to drop torpedoes on the battleship 'New Jersey' was hit, and the powerful 40-mm anti-aircraft gun shells directly disintegrated the torpedo attack plane in the air, and the pilot was torn to pieces on the spot, becoming the first Chinese Navy carrier-based aircraft pilot to die in this operation.
Seeing this, an F9 fighter immediately suppressed the anti-aircraft gun, which was firing incessantly. When a torpedo attack aircraft drops bombs, it is often very easy to hit. If it is not possible to suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, it will cause a large number of losses in its own carrier-based aircraft.
"Bang bang bang!" The 20-mm aerial gun in the nose fired a round of bursts, and several shells flew towards a tall black soldier. The black soldier could not dodge and was hit. The powerful 20-mm cannon shells directly tore the black soldiers to pieces, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the ground, and even the intestines flowed out, and blood flowed everywhere.
"Whew!" An FC4 dive bomber descended from the sky at high speed. The wing's sounders make a high-pitched whistling sound under the disturbance of the air current, as if they were about to puncture a person's eardrums.
At an altitude of less than five hundred meters from the battleship 'New Jersey', dive bombers dropped bombs. A 500-kilogram aviation armor-piercing projectile smashed into the battleship 'New Jersey' under the action of huge kinetic energy and potential energy.
Although the battleship "New Jersey" is the second ship of the latest "Iowa class" battleship of the US Navy, with a displacement of up to 58,000 tons, it has extremely powerful firepower and defense. Even the armor of the deck was up to 190 mm thick. However, even 190 mm thick deck armor could not withstand heavy aviation armor-piercing shells falling from high altitudes. The bomb penetrated the deck armor of the battleship 'New Jersey' and exploded inside the battleship. A violent explosion destroyed several compartments inside the battleship and at the same time caused a raging fire.
And that's just the beginning. This shell only kicked off the siege of the battleship 'New Jersey'. As the largest group of battleships in the Oahu military port, the three 'Iowa-class' battleships are undoubtedly under the heavy care of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft force. A large number of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft launched an attack on these battleships.
"Boom! Rumble! "Two loud explosions rang out, and two YL4 torpedo attack aircraft dropped 533-mm heavy torpedoes, which hit the port side of the battleship 'New Jersey'. Despite the fact that the waterline armor was 310 mm thick, it still could not withstand heavy torpedoes. Especially in this static state, it is completely like a target, and it is easy to be hit. The explosion generated intelligence, and a large amount of seawater poured into the battleship 'New Jersey', causing the hull to tilt. Subsequently, the formidable battleship was again hit by three torpedoes and six aviation armor-piercing shells. This inflicted irreparable damage on the battleship 'New Jersey'. As a result, the battleship eventually capsized in the harbor. Of the more than 1,900 crew members on the battleship, less than 100 managed to escape. The rest were buried alive in the battleship.
The other two sister ships of the battleship "New Jersey", the battleship "Iowa" and the battleship "Missouri". Dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft attacked them up to a squadron. While these battleships were quietly moored in the harbor and motionless, the pilots of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft only needed to drop aerial bombs or torpedoes as they normally practiced bomb throwing, and they were able to ensure an extremely high hit rate.
The battleship 'Iowa' was hit with eight torpedoes and nine aviation armor-piercing shells. The violent explosion made the battleship almost destroyed. The hull was full of holes, and because there was too much water, it sank directly into the sea.
The fate of the battleship 'Missouri' was even worse, as a 500-kilogram aviation armor-piercing projectile dropped from a high altitude pierced through the armor of the ammunition depot after three torpedoes and four aviation armor-piercing shells had already been hit. Hundreds of 406-mm shells in the ammunition depot were detonated. Such power is undoubtedly very terrifying. The huge explosion directly smashed the front half of the battleship 'Missouri' to pieces. A large amount of seawater poured into the battleship from the breach, causing the back half of the battleship to rise high and soon sink into the sea.
The three most powerful battleships were sunk, causing the strength of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet to suffer another heavy blow. Of course, the Chinese navy has not yet accepted the attack, and the killing is still going on in the Oahu military port.
It's just that at this time, the U.S. Navy has already reflected it. Even though the scene was very chaotic, many US Navy officers and sailors used a variety of weapons to fight back at the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft units. However, in the face of the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Chinese Navy, which overwhelming Leahy, the resistance of the Americans seemed so weak.
North of the Oahu military port, several 40-mm anti-aircraft guns were firing heavily from an anti-aircraft position. They were also stunned when the Oahu military port was attacked by carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy. But then, under the leadership of the commander, a counterattack was launched.
It's just that the counterattack of these Americans also attracted the attention of the fighters hovering in the sky. While dive bombers and torpedo attack planes slaughtered the warships of the US Navy in the harbor, the fighters of the Imperial Navy were responsible for suppressing the anti-aircraft fire of the Americans and ensuring that the attack of dive bombers and torpedo attack planes was not disturbed.
An F9 fighter attacked this air defense position, firing at high speed from a 20-mm gun in the nose and two 12.7-mm machine guns on the wings. A dense barrage of bullets and shells loomed over this anti-aircraft position.
"Ahh Yes! "Screams kept rang out, and there was absolutely no chance of survival if they were hit by 20-mm artillery shells and 12.7-mm aviation machine gun bullets. 20mm aircraft gun shells can directly tear the human body into pieces, and 12.7 aviation machine gun bullets can also break the fragile human body in two.
An American soldier was shot in the waist, and a 12.7 mm aviation machine gun bullet directly cut his spine in two, separating the lower half of his body and the upper half of his body.
The entire air defense position suddenly became a hellish scene, with stumps and broken arms, internal organs and blood sprayed everywhere.
A dive bomber also set its sights on this air defense position, and a 500-kilogram high-explosive bomb hit this air defense position, directly smoothing out the entire position.
The vast majority of the dive bombers that launched the attack on the Oahu military port this time were carrying aviation armor-piercing shells against the battleship. But there are also a small number of dive bombers that carry high-explosive shells that are used against targets on the ground, especially these anti-aircraft positions.
In close cooperation with the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Imperial Navy, the US Navy suffered extremely heavy losses. Their battleships were constantly hit by torpedoes and aviation armor-piercing shells, destroyed, ignited and even sank outright. Although, the US Navy, which has already reflected it, also launched a counterattack. However, compared to the attacks of the Chinese navy, their counterattacks are undoubtedly too vulnerable. It is almost in a state of being ravaged by the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy. (To be continued.) )
