    Kurita Takeo turned around and saw a raging fire burning on the Yura, a light cruiser not far away.

    The reason why battleships are not afraid of dive bomber attacks is because the battleship's side armor belt is very thick, including the armor on the surface of the turret and bridge.

    The deck armor of a general battleship has two layers. Dive bombers can cause damage to it, but it is difficult to cause substantial or even devastating damage.

    Only when torpedo attack aircraft become more common later, can launching torpedoes against battleships be able to cause devastating damage to them.

    Kurita Takeo did not think that the Eighty-eighth Army would have torpedo planes, so he despised them so much.

    It¡¯s just that he forgot that the battleship can withstand the 500 kilograms of heavy aerial bombs from dive bombers, but what about other ships?

    Like the Yura, it is just a light cruiser of more than 2,000 tons. The armor on it is not thick, and it cannot withstand the 500 kilograms of heavy bombs dropped by Stuka dive bombers.

    Looking at the Yura with black mist rising, Kurita Takeo took a deep breath before saying: "Order the fleet to temporarily evacuate the coastline! I didn't expect the Chinese to target these ships!"

    "Ha~yi~"

    "Boom~"

    "Boom~"

    "Boom~"

    Just when Kurita Takeo finished speaking, there was another deafening explosion behind them.

    Kurita Takeo immediately picked up the binoculars and looked behind him.

    A group of Stuka dive bombers are besieging the aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga.

    Hundreds of dive bombers were besieging him, and the anti-aircraft weapons on top of him were really not worth mentioning. Just after firing a few cannons, a Stuka dive bomber dropped a few fifty kilograms on him without hesitation.  Small bomb.

    These bombs are not enough to destroy warships, but they are enough to kill and injure those sailors.

    These aircraft carriers, which have no power to fight back, are really helpless against the fleet of aircraft in the sky.

    They have all sent their own carrier-based aircraft into the sky to fight, and now they cannot protect themselves. How can they manage the aircraft carrier?

    Since this is the case, we can imagine the scene of two aircraft carriers being besieged by more than 300 Stuka dive bombers.

    Sometimes two or three Stuka dive bombers work together to bomb, sometimes a single Stuka dive bomber bombs.

    For a very accurate dive bomber like the Stuka.  Normally bombing a small bunker is not a problem. Now bombing such a large aircraft carrier, even if it is mobile, is such a large target still easy to capture?

    Heavy aviation bombs exploded on the aircraft carrier.

    Soon, raging fires broke out on both aircraft carriers, and it looked as if they would be bombed and sunk in a while.

    "Eight~~~ Damn Chinese people! Retreat at full speed! Order the carrier-based aircraft to return immediately to support the fleet!"

    Kurita Takeo¡¯s gloomy expression was as if a relative had died at home.

    His order was implemented, but the threat from the Kaga and Akagi aircraft carriers was still not eliminated.

    Aboard the aircraft carrier Akagi

    "Your Excellency Colonel, our upper flight deck has been completely destroyed by the Chinese Air Force! In addition, our lower deck has also been affected!" [The Akagi aircraft carrier has three decks.  The first deck is 190 meters long and 30.5 meters wide.  The middle deck is a small deck, 15 meters long.  The lower deck is 56.7 meters long and 23 meters wide.  The three decks are of different sizes, so destroying the first deck may directly damage the lower deck.  ¡¿

    A staff officer looked at the current captain of the Akagi, Junichi Mizuno, and said.

    "Order the ship to turn immediately and retreat backwards!"

    Mizuno Junichi¡¯s face was also gloomy. He didn¡¯t expect that this support operation would suffer such a heavy loss.

    "Ha~yi~"

    Mizuno Jun turned his head and looked at the fire burning on the flight deck, his expression was very ugly.

    But at this moment, another sharp scream came from the sky.

    "Eight~ga~"

    Hearing this voice, Mizuno Junichi couldn't help but curse.

    "Boom~"

    "Boom~"

    Two more violent explosions were heard, and the entire warship could not stop shaking.

    After a while, it slowly got better, but there was more smoke over their aircraft carrier.  "

    ? ???His Excellency Colonel!  Our upper hangar was destroyed by bombs dropped by the Chinese Air Force!  "

    A staff officer with sweat on his face ran in and said loudly.  [The Akagi aircraft carrier has a two-story hangar]

    "Eight~Gah~ retreat quickly! At the same time, order the damage control personnel to make emergency repairs immediately!"

    Mizuno Junichi¡¯s heart is bleeding, this loss is too great.  Although the Akagi aircraft carrier has not sunk yet, and even the temporary damage is not serious, this loss is already heartbreaking.

    You know, the Akagi aircraft carrier is the flagship of the First Air Force!

    The little devil wants to escape, but can he outrun the plane?  Is it as fast as an airplane?

    ? ? Continuous bombs were thrown on the little Japanese aircraft carrier, causing explosions one after another.

    Kurita Takeo quickly paid for his arrogance.

    Looking at the thick smoke floating over the two aircraft carriers, his face looked ugly, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions.

    "Boom~"

    Suddenly, a sound louder than any previous explosion came, and the entire sea was shaken and turbulent.

    And when Takeo Kurita heard the loud noise and saw thicker black smoke suddenly rising from the Akagi aircraft carrier, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

    "Go and generate electricity and ask the Akagi aircraft carrier what's going on with them?"

    After a while, a staff officer came in and said: "Report! Their ammunition depot has been detonated. Now there is a fire inside, and even the hull is damaged!"

    "Is there damage to the ship's hull? Baga~These hateful Chinese aircraft!"

    At this time, on the Akagi, Mizuno Junichi received another incredible news.

    "Your Majesty Colonel! Our No. 4 boiler is flooded with water, and the boiler chief requested to turn off the flames!"

    A voice kept echoing in the bridge command room.

    Everyone was silent at this moment.

    Boiler No. 4 is the only boiler they are still running, and all other boilers have stalled.

    To survive or to perish?

    Such a sentence from Hamlet echoed in Mizuno Junichi's mind.

    An aircraft carrier without power, with no carrier-based aircraft and all air defense firepower lost, is a lamb to be slaughtered.

    The Stuka dive bombers that are constantly circling in the sky will definitely not be stingy with those heavy aerial bombs, and then send them to the west.

    "Turn off the engine! Pass my command! Turn off the engine!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
