There was almost no time for Ozawa to make any response, and a dense fleet of aircraft had already appeared in the sky directly ahead, all forming a three-aircraft formation, flying far above the fleet.

Ozawa hurriedly raised the binoculars on his chest and pointed it at one of the three aircraft formations. In the binoculars, he clearly saw a B-24 heavy bomber flying at high altitude, accompanied by a P-51 Mustang fighter escort on the left and right. Ze immediately realized that the B-24 in the middle must be carrying a huge aerial bomb, otherwise there would be no need for two fighter jets to escort such a serious matter.

Soon, Ozawa's deduction was confirmed. An aerial bomb was thrown from the magazine of the B-24. There is his own ship on the sea, and he expected to see the huge waves created by the aerial bombs on the sea, but a strange scene happened. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ozawa would never have believed it was true.

The aerial bomb did not fall directly, but began to fly autonomously at a height of about tens of meters from the sea surface, and the target direction was directed at the "Akagi" aircraft carrier several nautical miles away from Taiho.

The locust soldiers on the aircraft carrier apparently also noticed that an "uninvited guest" was approaching them, and the anti-aircraft cannon deployed a dense bullet net to fly towards it.

Strange things happened again. The "giant aerial bomb" suddenly lowered its altitude again, almost flying close to the sea. "Akagi" flew over.

Just when the giant aerial bomb was about to approach the "Akagi", the "giant aerial bomb" suddenly jumped up, quickly dived towards the "Akagi", and easily penetrated into the deck of the "Akagi". The flames soared into the sky, and the shells piled up on the deck were instantly detonated. The sound of explosions continued, and the Akagi was immediately submerged in the flames. Among the dancing explosion fragments, locust soldiers and even Pyroman jumped into the sea one after another.

But the nightmare did not end there. Just as Ozawa was staring at the "Akagi", another "giant aerial bomb" flew over and hit the Akagi again without any mistakes.

Amidst the violent explosion, Ozawa felt that the "Akagi" was almost disintegrated, and the hull tilted six degrees to the left in an instant, and the sinking was inevitable.

Ozawa was stunned by the horrible scene, and even a little numb. People kept reporting to him that the "Kaga" aircraft carrier was shot, the "Soryu" aircraft carrier was shot, and the "Furutaka" heavy cruiser was shot. Shen??????, he turned a deaf ear to it, and the whole person seemed a little confused.

The surface of the sea has been completely smashed into a pot of porridge. There are exploding ships, burning ships, dense aerial bombs, torpedoes, and even downed planes falling from the sky. Scurrying around like headless flies.

The tragic air battle in the sky is also going on, hundreds of aircraft of various types are mixed together, the sound of roaring machines, rumbling machine guns, continuous machine guns, and the screaming of aerial bombs rang together.

In the rain of bullets flying horizontally, planes continued to fall into the sea like kites with broken strings. It is not difficult to see from the sun flags and aircraft types on the fuselage that most of the shot down belonged to the island army.

The Seventh Fleet of the Mi Army, the four aircraft carriers of the East India Fleet of the British Army have nearly 240 aircraft, and the Third Fleet has more than 600 Hellcat fighter jets, plus more than [-] fighter jets, bombers, and torpedo planes flying over from Midway Island. A total of more than [-] aircraft participated in the battle.

The number of carrier-based aircraft of the ten aircraft carriers of the island army may not be less than that of the Mi army, but bombers and torpedo planes naturally cannot participate in air combat, and the performance of the Zero fighter, whether it is comparable to the P-51 Mustang of the Army Aviation or the carrier-based aircraft F6f Hellcats are fighting against each other, and the difference is too far. Although the island army has the advantage of high-quality pilots, the quality and quantity of fighter jets cannot keep up. Therefore, the situation was overwhelming at the beginning of the war. .

There is another reason that caused the pilots of the island army to collapse the most. The aircraft carriers of the two fleets in front were sunk or suffered varying degrees of damage. Whether they could land became their number one worry, and their combat effectiveness would naturally be affected.

On the deck of the aircraft carrier "Taiho" of the Island Army.

Jisaburo Ozawa finally regained his composure, and hurriedly boarded a small speedboat surrounded by a group of staff officers and guards.

At this point in the battle, there is no room for maneuver, the locust army will undoubtedly be defeated, and the destruction of the first assault fleet and the second assault fleet may be inevitable.

In fact, from witnessing the sinking of the "Akagi" aircraft carrier with his own eyes, Ozawa realized that this battle could no longer be fought. The "giant aerial bomb" of the Mi Army was too terrifying, and all the large ships of the Locust Army could not escape it. Even if he resisted tenaciously, he would just lose his life in vain. Therefore, he made the most correct decision and ran away immediately.

Although the Taiho aircraft carrier has successfully turned around under the desperate escort of more than a dozen Zero Fighters, and is withdrawing from the battlefield at full speed, Ozawa knows that the aircraft carrier will definitely be the key target of the Mi Army, and whether it can successfully escape is really a matter of course. It was full of too many variables, so he decisively chose a small speedboat.

Although there is no shortage of seaplanes on the aircraft carrier, considering that the target of the aircraft is too large, it is difficult to escape the attack of the Mi Army fighter jets with superior performance, but it is not as reliable as the speedboat with a smaller target.

Facts proved that Ozawa's choice was correct. Just when the speedboat had just passed the "Taiho" aircraft carrier less than one nautical mile, the Mi Army Air Force finally discovered the existence of the Taiho, and a large number of fighter jets began to fly to the nearby airspace. More than a dozen Zero Wars above the Taifeng launched a siege, and the Zero Wars were shot down in an instant.

Ozawa once again saw three formations of three planes approaching Taiho from the side, and then almost at the same time, three "giant aerial bombs" fell from the sky.

It still started to fly autonomously after descending to tens of meters. This time, the island army on the aircraft carrier was obviously prepared. When the "giant aerial bombs" just started to fly autonomously, dense ammunition shot at them like raindrops. They didn't even care about their own transport ship ahead.

The dense artillery shells battered the transport ship, and the defense seemed to be effective. A "giant aerial bomb" paused in the air, and then plunged into the sea, but the expected explosion did not occur.

However, the remaining two aerial bombs still entered the descent stage smoothly, and began to fly close to the sea surface, then suddenly jumped up and quickly dived towards Taiho.

"Boom, boom!"

With two loud bangs, two aerial bombs hit Taiho one after the other, one exploded on the deck, and the other hit the right side of the hull.

Ozawa obviously saw the Taiho tremble, and then the ship began to tilt slowly, reaching a five-degree tilt in an instant. The speed was so fast that people smacked their tongues. The sinking was inevitable. Ozawa closed his eyes in pain , Two lines of turbid tears flowed down my cheeks.
