Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The fleet of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy began to disperse in the sky, and the 48 C'Osprey torpedo attack aircraft began to drop in altitude, and finally broke out from low altitude, and then launched an attack on the battleships of the US and British navies.  The 48 HBD 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers continued to pull up. They would break in from high altitudes, fly all the way to the top of the main battleships of the US and British navies, and then start to dive again.  The last 48 F58 'Puffins' fighter jets accelerated their flight and were the first to break into the sky above the US-British combined fleet, preparing to attract the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and create opportunities for torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers.  After all, aircraft carrying heavy bombs and torpedoes are far less agile than fighter jets, and are much more likely to be hit by enemy anti-aircraft firepower. If a fighter jet attracts the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower first, then torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers will  It will be easier to succeed!

    "Oh God! The Chinese plane is coming!" Seeing the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft rushing toward them, the officers and soldiers of the U.S. Navy exclaimed.  Although they have heard about the power of Chinese aircraft countless times, this is the first time they have seen such a sharp weapon launch an attack!

    48 H50'Puffins, fighter jets accelerated towards the US-British combined fleet.  Seeing the densely packed aircraft flying towards us, the battleships below became even more confused.  The naval officers and soldiers of the United States and the United Kingdom, who encountered the attack of Chinese aircraft for the first time, showed varying degrees of panic!

    "Fire! Shoot down those yellow-skinned monkeys' planes!" The captain of a light cruiser could not bear the tremendous pressure and first gave the order to fire.  Several 37mm anti-aircraft guns and several anti-aircraft machine guns installed on this light cruiser immediately started shooting in the air!

    "Boom, boom, boom, tap, tap, tap!" The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns immediately began to roar.  Groups of orange fireballs and chains of red tracer bullets appeared in the sky, just like fire nets!

    After the light cruiser opened fire, other warships of the United States and British naval fleets also opened fire. All warships, from battleships to destroyers, joined in the air-to-air shooting.  The dense firepower formed airtight fire nets in the sky.

    "Go to hell! You yellow-skinned monkeys!" A black man controlled an anti-aircraft machine gun and fired violently at the Chinese Navy carrier-based aircraft flying toward their warship.  The red bullets were shot at high speed, but they were unable to hit the target. The officers and soldiers who had never participated in actual combat, who controlled the air defense firepower, almost all used the weapons in their hands to chase those aircraft!  However, when the bullets arrived, the plane had already flown over, which resulted in the scene where bullets and artillery shells chased the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft, but failed to hit the target!

    "Da da da!" The Chinese navy's fighter planes also fought back. These 'puffins' fighter jets used the aviation machine guns on their noses to shoot at the enemy's anti-aircraft gun emplacements. Although the power of the aviation machine guns was not enough to cause damage to these warships, it could not deal with those warships.  People who operate anti-aircraft weapons really don't have any problems.  The fragile human body cannot withstand machine gun bullets!

    "Dang, Dang, Dang!" The dense bullets hit the shield of the anti-aircraft gun emplacement, and several U.S. Navy soldiers who had not had time to escape were also shot dead on the spot. The anti-aircraft gun stopped firing!

    The Chinese Navy¡¯s F58 ¡®Puffin¡¯ fighter jet is like a light elf, flying freely in the fire net composed of anti-aircraft firepower launched by the US warships. These fire nets appear to be dense.

    But for fighter planes, they can easily pass through unscathed, and they can also wait for opportunities to attack the anti-aircraft firepower of the US and British navies.

    On the bridge of the battleship Pennsylvania, William.  Admiral Benson held the telescope tightly in his hand and chased the flying planes with his eyes. He wanted to shoot down all of them.  However, the performance of the U.S. Navy, which had no actual combat experience, was very poor. It wasted a lot of artillery shells and bullets, but did not damage a single hair of those aircraft.

    At this time, when the Puffin and fighter jets attracted the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, the C'Osprey, torpedo attack aircraft, and the HBD'Osprey and dive bombers that entered from high altitudes also began to attack from low altitudes.  This is the trump card against the combined fleet of the US and UK navies!  Fighters cannot sink the battleships of the US-British naval combined fleet. The only things that can sink the other side's battleships are torpedoes and heavy aerial bombs!

    The huge size of the U.S. Navy's Pennsylvania-class battleships has undoubtedly become the first target of attack by the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft.

    The six Pennsylvania-class battleships were attacked by dozens of torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers, and the battleship USS Pennsylvania was the first target of attack!

    William was observing the battle from the window on the side of the bridge.  Admiral Benson saw four aircraft rushing towards the battleship Pennsylvania from a height close to the sea.  William.  Admiral Benson can clearly see through the telescopeSee the fish hanging under the bellies of these 4 planes

    "Damn it! There are four torpedo attack planes on the left, let's land these planes first!" William.  Admiral Benson roared loudly.  Although the waterline armor of the Pennsylvania class battleship is 330 mm thick, if it is hit by a torpedo, it is also likely to be penetrated!

    At this time, the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship Pennsylvania was attracted by several Puffin fighter jets that were strafing them.  Hear William.  After receiving Admiral Benson's order, these anti-aircraft firepowers hurriedly adjusted their positions and prepared to shoot at the torpedo attack aircraft coming from the left.  But, it's too late.  During this time, these four C

    ¡®The Osprey torpedo attack aircraft has rushed within one thousand meters of the battleship Pennsylvania!  Four 450mm medium-sized torpedoes were dropped by torpedo attack aircraft, sank a few meters into the sea, then surfaced, and then rushed towards the battleship Pennsylvania at a speed of up to 30 knots!

    "Damn it, avoid it immediately!" William.  Admiral Benson roared!

    The distance of one thousand meters only takes one minute for a torpedo with a speed of thirty knots.  Four torpedoes rushed towards the battleship Pennsylvania in a fan shape. With the 195-meter-long hull of the Pennsylvania, it was almost impossible to evade and completely avoid the four torpedoes within one minute!

    ¡®¡®The Pennsylvanian¡¯s navigator immediately began to turn left, attempting to align the bow of the ship in the direction of the torpedo attack, in order to reduce the area being hit.  'The naval officers on the port side of the battleship Pennsylvania also began to operate the secondary guns and rapid-fire guns to fire at the sea surface in an attempt to destroy the incoming torpedoes.  However, against torpedoes traveling at high speed underwater, these attacks have no effect at all!

    One minute passed quickly. Although the battleship Pennsylvania launched an evasive maneuver, it was still not able to completely avoid it in the end.  Among the four torpedoes, two missed, and one torpedo passed under the belly of the battleship Pennsylvania due to the fixed depth.  Only one torpedo hit the bow of the battleship Pennsylvania.

    The torpedo warhead containing 120 kilograms of high explosive exploded. The violent explosion shook the entire battleship violently. The officers and soldiers on the battleship all fell to and fro in the explosion. Even William.  Admiral Benson is no exception!

    However, just after getting up from the ground, William.  The admiral immediately asked loudly: "Report the damage! Is the hull damaged?"

    A minute later, the captain asked William.  Admiral Benson reported.  The underwater armor was blown through a hole of more than one meter, and damage control personnel are currently plugging the hole.  However, even if it cannot be blocked, the watertight compartment can be closed to prevent the battleship from sinking due to excessive water intrusion.

    Of course, this will also have a certain impact on the performance of the battleship, but it will be relatively slight and will not affect the continued fighting.

    Such a loss made William.  Admiral Benson breathed a sigh of relief.  If the flagship is sunk just after the battle begins, it will become a joke!  However, he seems to have forgotten that the attacks by the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft are still continuing and the battle has just begun. The Pennsylvania escaped the initial attack and may not be able to escape subsequent attacks!

    Just in William.  Just when Admiral Benson breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp roar came from the sky above the USS Pennsylvania that seemed to pierce a person's eardrums!

    Four ¡®Fish Eagle¡¯ dive bombers have entered the dive channel and started a dive attack.  They swooped down from an altitude of one thousand meters, and the sound generators on the wings made a sharp whistle, just like the devil's laughter!

    "Evade! Turn right immediately!" The captain of the battleship Pennsylvania immediately changed his face when the whistle sounded, and issued an emergency evasion order.  The huge battleship was swaying left and right on the sea like a frightened whale, trying to avoid the planes that pounced down from the sky. Everyone on the battleship was holding on to the handrails tightly to avoid being thrown away by the evasive battleship.  Get out!

    When the distance to the battleship Pennsylvania was only 400 meters, four

    ¡®Fish Eagle, the dive bomber dropped the aerial bomb.  Heavy aerial bombs weighing 560 kilograms roared down.

    Of the four bombs, two fell into the sea, splashing two water jets into the sky.  But the other two landed on the front deck of the battleship Pennsylvania.  An aerial bomb penetrated the armor of the front deck and blew a large hole several meters in diameter in the front deck!  Another aerial bomb hit the No. 2 turret on the forward deck.  Although the turret's armor was 330 mm thick, it was still penetrated.  The bomb exploded, destroying the entire turret!
