I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 163 The Tragic Ozawa Fleet

But Jisaburo Ozawa's fleet was not so lucky.

After the US attack aircraft arrived at the designated sea area, they quickly discovered the Japanese fleet heading north at full speed.

When the captain gave the order to attack, all the crews rushed towards the Japanese ship.

Since the main force of carrier-based aircraft of Jisaburo Ozawa's fleet had already attacked, the air defense now could only rely on battleships and light cruisers.

However, the anti-aircraft artillery of the Japanese ships was obviously much less effective than that of the American fleet.

First of all, their density is much smaller, and their firing rate and accuracy are not very good, so the results they achieve are much worse.

Several Zero fighters that took off from several light escort aircraft carriers were shot down by the elite pilots of the US military almost at the first encounter.

During the rest of the time, these US fighters had nothing to do and could only choose to dive and strafe at low altitudes to take over the work of the attack aircraft. This was also an alternative scene on the battlefield.

The US attack aircraft group appeared to be attacking with extra ease because there was no harassment from enemy aircraft.

Their attack was very methodical, with a very clear division of labor.

In the first wave of attacks, the four aircraft carriers of the Third Fleet were targeted.

The torpedo attack aircraft dropped torpedoes on the flank of the selected aircraft carrier. These heavy torpedoes cut through the waves under the huge inertia and rushed towards the enemy ship at a very high speed.

The wake dragged out terrible lines of death on the sea surface.

The Japanese officers and soldiers could only watch helplessly as torpedoes hit their warships one after another.

A violent explosion resounded through the sky.

These Japanese aircraft carriers were originally converted from other warships. Their protection and damage control capabilities were far inferior to those of regular aircraft carriers, not to mention compared with US aircraft carriers.

In order to quickly form combat effectiveness, the Japanese aircraft carrier modification was very hasty. In addition, the manufacturing level of special steel was much worse. Therefore, in the Pacific naval battles, it would often happen that an aircraft carrier could be destroyed by two or three torpedoes.

The US military's large aircraft carriers were bombed again and again, but could not sink.

For example, the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. The Japanese army unilaterally announced three times that the Enterprise had been sunk, but each time it was proven false in the end. Therefore, the Enterprise was also nicknamed the "Gray Ghost".

In fact, this "Xiao Qiang" type aircraft carrier was hit by several torpedoes and bombs every time, and the damage was very serious. It is no wonder that the Japanese army believed that the Enterprise must have been sunk.

Because once such damage occurs to a Japanese aircraft carrier, it will definitely be irreparable.

However, the damage control level of US aircraft carriers was so high that they were able to repair them quickly every time, and sometimes they could even receive carrier-based aircraft while repairing. This level was unique in the entire World War II.

However, the Japanese aircraft carriers do not have this capability at the moment, so Vice Admiral Ozawa can only watch as his aircraft carriers catch fire and explode one after another, and then sink to the bottom of the sea.

The wailing of officers and soldiers was endless, and his heart ached.

These were first-rate soldiers who died so pointlessly.

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

The Zuikaku aircraft carrier was also hit by two torpedoes and was already on fire.
The subordinate came to report,
"Sir, damage control failed, the ship is sinking!"

"Ah, is it really going to sink?"

Although this was expected, when he really faced failure, Ozawa still felt a little disheartened.

"Captain, what should we do?" The young sailors looked panicked.

Ozawa waved his hand weakly, "Abandon ship and escape!"

He turned around and walked slowly towards the command room. The ship had begun to tilt, and he grabbed the handrail with difficulty and moved with difficulty.

"quick!!"

The Chief of Staff, Major General Obayashi Sueo, signaled to his men, and they all stepped forward and held Ozawa.

"Excuse me!" Obayashi Sueo nodded and ordered his men to forcibly escort the commander out.

"Bastard, put me down, I want to live and die with this ship!" Ozawa yelled madly, but was still carried away by his men.

"Mr. Chief of Staff, please let me stay!"

As the captain, Rear Admiral Kaizuka Takeo cannot leave easily.

After getting the approval from Ohbayashi Sueo, he walked slowly towards the command room with a lonely look.
As soon as Ozawa and others left, the Zuikaku aircraft carrier could no longer hold on, and it tilted more and more seriously, and finally slowly sank into the Pacific Ocean.

This was also the last large aircraft carrier sunk by the Japanese fleet, including three other light aircraft carriers. In fact, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was completely crossed out from the combat sequence.

Lin Chen was hovering at a low altitude at the moment. He brought with him four 4-kilogram heavy bombs.
He originally wanted to launch an attack on the Zuikaku, but unexpectedly missed the target with two missiles.

Now there are only two missiles left, so you must throw them accurately.

Since the Japanese aircraft carriers had been completely destroyed, the largest remaining warships were the two battleships Ise and Hyuga.

This kind of battleship was tough and could not be sunk by such a small number of bombs, so he focused his attention on the Tama light cruiser that was escaping quickly.

The Tama light cruiser was a product of the late 20s. It was the first 10-ton light cruiser built by the old Japanese Navy after the Tenryuu class, with a speed of up to knots.

Captain Colonel Yamamoto Iwata was already frightened by the US attack aircraft at this moment, and kept urging his men to quickly leave the battlefield.

How could Lin Chen let it go so easily?

He called upon another dive attack plane, formed a two-plane formation, and dived fiercely towards the enemy.

When Yamamoto Iwata saw two "Reaper" attack planes rushing towards him desperately, he was so scared that he shouted at the engine room operator to turn the rudder to the right.

Unexpectedly, after the failure of the first two attacks, Lin Chen had already figured out this little trick of the Japanese fleet.

He quickly adjusted the plane's course and dropped a deadly aerial bomb at low altitude along the enemy ship.

Due to the effect of gravity, the 250-kilogram aerial bomb actually broke through the deck and fell near the second floor of the ship.

When the warhead fuse stopped turning, the ammunition depot of this light cruiser, which should have sunk in the afternoon, exploded.
And the violent explosion that occurred was actually the largest in the entire attack.

"WOW!!!"

"Lin, was that a home run? It was spectacular!"

"Sir, you are so awesome!!!"

Comrades around sent congratulations via radio.

But the Japanese side was in a much worse situation. A large number of officers and soldiers fell into the water. Several Japanese destroyers rushed over, salvaged some people, and then left at full speed.

The remaining people kept floundering on the sea, and the only fate waiting for them was a miserable death.

Unlike the previous attack on the Musashi, this time he saw with his own eyes a large enemy battleship being destroyed, which gave him more confidence.
So he set his sights on the Isuzu cruiser not far away. This cruiser was very unusual because Yamamoto had once served as the captain of this warship.

When the current captain of the Isuzu cruiser saw Lin Chen rushing towards him, he was shocked. While desperately trying to evade the enemy, he ordered his men to open fire.

Various anti-aircraft artillery on the ship fired frantically at Lin Chen's dive bomber.

"Bang~~!"

Suddenly, a dull sound came from the right wing, and Lin Chen felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the right wing was hit by shrapnel;
What's worse is that the teammate sitting in the back of the cabin seemed to have been shot, and no matter how he shouted, there was no response.

The only thing to be thankful for was that this American military plane was extremely sturdy and did not break on the spot.

Lin Chen quickly dropped the bomb to reduce the weight of the aircraft, and then called out through the intercom,
"Mayday!!!"

"Mayday!!!"

"Mayday!!!"

"I'm about to make an emergency landing on the sea, I need emergency rescue!" "I'm about to make an emergency landing on the sea, I need emergency rescue!"

"I'm about to make an emergency landing on the sea and need emergency rescue!"

Then Lin Chen began to hold the joystick tightly and began to pull the fuselage towards the sea surface, trying to reduce the contact angle with the sea surface as much as possible.

When landing on the sea, the landing gear must not be lowered and the plane must glide smoothly on the belly of the aircraft.

This places extremely high demands on the strength of the aircraft's overall structure, and is also the main reason why Japanese aircraft were almost unable to make emergency landings on the sea.

Finally, the plane bounced slightly above the sea at a nearly perfect angle, and then fell heavily into the sea.
Even so, the dive bomber still did not disintegrate, which shows its extremely high quality.

Lin Chen quickly took out his pistol and fired several shots at the cabin cover, then kicked open the cabin door, unbuckled his seat belt, and climbed out before the fuselage sank.

He also grabbed a yellow life jacket, but was in no hurry to put it on.

He held his breath and swam quickly towards the wreckage of the plane.

"Da da da!!!"

"Da da da!!!"

"Da da da!!!"

Several Japanese warships nearby were firing wildly at the wreckage with their large machine guns.

They hated American pilots so much that they would kill them without hesitation if given any chance.

Fortunately, Lin Chen was well prepared and managed to escape the disaster.

However, Lin Chen's comrades were enraged by the atrocities of the Japanese army. They poured the remaining bombs on the enemy ships that were rushing over to fire additional shots.

A destroyer was hit directly and quickly capsized and sank.

The other ship was so frightened that it fled at full speed.

This type of destroyer is small and fast, and is generally not the preferred target for attack by US aircraft.

As the Japanese army retreated, the attack was a great success and the Japanese Combined Fleet suffered heavy losses.

Lin Chen stayed under the sea for a long time before he dared to raise his head above the surface and gasp for breath.

He also had to put on his life jacket quickly, otherwise he would easily lose strength in the sea water.

However, just as he put on his life jacket, a number of Japanese soldiers who had fallen into the water nearby discovered him.

"Quick, there's an American pilot here!!!"

"kill him!!!"

"kill him!!!"

"Fuck!" Lin Chen was shocked when he heard these voices.

He might not be afraid of the enemy on the shore, but in the sea, the Japanese army was outnumbered and could easily use a war of attrition to wear him out, making it difficult for him to escape.

So he swam desperately towards the distance.

These Japanese soldiers who fell into the water were in despair at first, but now that they saw him, they were like chicken blood injected, and chased after him desperately.

Among them, there were some Japanese sailors who were very good at swimming and swam faster than Lin Chen.

This is not surprising. The Japanese Navy has always had strict requirements for underwater training, and they are a nation that relies on the sea for their livelihood, so it is not surprising that they are good at swimming.

It is impossible for anyone to rescue them now. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to drag Lin Chen with him before dying.

Lin Chen was considering whether to take off his life jacket. Although this would speed up the process a lot, what would he do next?
Without a life jacket, the chances of surviving on the sea will be greatly reduced.

First of all, it would be difficult for the rescue plane to find itself.

If you continue swimming, you will move too far away from the location where you sent the signal.

And if you continue swimming like this, you will definitely get dehydrated.

This is undoubtedly extremely dangerous in the vast ocean.

Well, since you are in a hurry to reincarnate, I will give you a ride.

Lin Chen turned around slowly and looked at the two fastest swimming Japanese sailors with a joking look. They were already right in front of him.

After the two looked at each other, they immediately surrounded him from the left and right tacitly.

"Haha, you're still trying to play tactics with me?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, then dived down and pounced towards one of them.

The other party obviously didn't expect that Lin Chen actually had such a strong ability in water.
In order to reduce physical energy consumption, he moved behind the man as quickly as possible, and then began to grab the man's head with his iron-like arms.

The Japanese soldier suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted for help.
Seeing this, his companions no longer cared about outflanking him and swam straight over.

"Click."

Break the neck and kill one cleanly.

When Lin Chen turned his head and looked back,
The remaining Japanese soldier was obviously a little panicked, but he actually took out a military dagger from his pocket and stabbed fiercely.

In the water, Lin Chen's dodging speed was greatly affected, but he still managed to avoid it.
Then deliberately expose a flaw to leave the opponent with an opening.

His left hand reached for the other person's crotch.
"Damn, why is it so small?"

Lin Chen frowned, but still pinched decisively.
"Bang~"

The other person screamed in pain.

Lin Chen grabbed the opponent's wrist with his right hand and snatched the knife away in a few moves.

He was killed with one knife.

The other Japanese soldiers who caught up with him were also shocked when they saw how powerful Lin Chen was.

It's not that they are not afraid of death, but the shouting just now aroused the beastly nature in their bones.
Now that I calmed down and took a closer look, I realized that the other party was not a lone migratory bird at all.

It's a lone deep-sea shark.

The worst thing was that he had a knife in his hand, and the strong murderous aura made everyone a little scared.

At this moment, some Japanese soldiers suddenly looked at Lin Chen in horror, and then one after another made expressions of horror and began to swim back desperately.

"How can these rookies be so timid?"

Lin Chen felt something was wrong. These Japanese soldiers wouldn't become so cowardly just because he had just killed two of them.

He suddenly thought of something and turned his head to see.
Now Yam was also stunned.

Not far behind him, a huge white dorsal fin emerged from the sea and was swimming towards him at a terrifying speed.

Grass!
No wonder these guys were all running for their lives, it turned out that such a big guy was lured here.

I think the person next to Lin Chen was bleeding, so he attracted the shark.

The shark's bloody mouth quickly pounced on him, but Lin Chen turned sideways and nimbly dodged it.
The shark just happened to bite the body of the Japanese soldier that Lin Chen had just killed.
"Crack!!!"

The huge bite force actually bit the man in two.
This time Lin Chen could see it clearly from a close distance. The other party was more than three meters long.

This is a great white shark that you could only see in movies in your previous life!

Especially that big smelly mouth is really chilling.
