Steve was the first to fly, and he successfully dropped the bomb onto the little devil's aircraft carrier. When the first bomb fell, all the little devils knew that this was definitely not a drill, nor was the army coming to make trouble for them, it was an enemy attack! At this moment, the little devil's navy reacted quickly.
The personnel responsible for damage control on the aircraft carrier quickly dispatched. They pulled the fire hose from the direction of the bridge and quickly moved towards the direction of the flames. For a large warship, it should be very strong, even if it is hit by a few shells, there is nothing wrong with it, but since a large warship has a lot of weapons and equipment on it, if these weapons are detonated, So no matter how much the warship does damage control, no matter how much firefighting work is in place, it is estimated that it will have no effect. Once the ammunition explodes, it will be almost devastating.
Therefore, once this happens, it is very important to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. Especially now, the center of the deck was shot, and the flames were spreading to all sides. If it spreads to the parking area, then their plane will be ignited. If the plane was ignited, the consequences would be disastrous.
Any big fire is the easiest to extinguish when the fire just broke out, and the damage control personnel must carry out the fire fighting work as soon as possible.
If there is only such a bomb, then it will not pose any substantial threat to their aircraft carrier. However, this is just the beginning.
On the bridge, Captain Yanagimoto shouted loudly: "Hurry up, put out the fire immediately!" Of course he also knew that the most important thing to keep his warship was how to put out the fire in front of him. But just after he finished shouting, he was attracted by the roar outside again. There are more planes coming in the direction of his flight deck! At this moment, his eyes were full of anger and anxiety, and he shouted loudly: "Hurry up! The anti-aircraft guns opened fire immediately to intercept."
The ability of an aircraft carrier to defend itself is not strong. For aircraft carriers, it is necessary to find ways to load more aircraft. The protection of the aircraft carrier is entrusted to the nearby escorting warships. Only the Soviet aircraft carriers during the Cold War would have powerful armaments. However, they were not called aircraft carriers. In the mouths of the Soviets, their ships were called heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers.
Under normal circumstances, the nearby escorting warships would have strafed these enemy planes long ago, but now, the sun has cast the last ray of light on the sea, and the sky has begun to darken. In the gray, It is not easy for them to find those enemy planes. But the enemy was able to capture them easily, because the deck of the aircraft carrier was on fire. So follow-up aircraft, as long as they follow the flames, can fly over and drop bombs.
Although it is said that aircraft carriers have very few self-defense capabilities, it does not mean that they do not have any. This Falcon Eagle aircraft carrier is at the tail of the deck, and there are still some anti-aircraft guns on the lower deck. At this time, when it was discovered that this was not an exercise, but an attack. The anti-aircraft gunners are quickly in position, wanting to shoot at the follow-up planes flying in the sky. However, just as they were panting to sit on it, the bomb dropped by the second plane had already landed while they were preparing nervously. This bomb landed right on the tail of the carrier! With a bang, with the explosion, a fire ignited at the tail of the aircraft carrier. The anti-aircraft gunners were blown away in the air waves of the explosion, they uttered screams, and then fell into the sea water.
This is not over yet, following the third and fourth planes, they all flew down and kept dropping bombs on the aircraft carrier.
In particular, the bomb dropped by the fourth plane happened to land in the middle of a bunch of Zero fighters. With the explosion, these Zero fighters also burned up. Although there are still wooden fighter jets in this era, fighter jets that pursue technological advancement have begun to use aluminum alloy as their skin. This thing only needs a temperature of a few hundred degrees to make it burn. So when the explosion occurred, the aluminum alloy skins of these fighter jets were quickly ignited. Once the fighter planes are burning, it will be even more difficult to extinguish the flames. Especially the Zero fighter jets, after landing, still have a certain amount of fuel. At this time, those fires quickly burned to the inside of the plane, igniting the fuel inside.
After a few seconds, one of the Zero fighters began to burst into flames. Suddenly, the flame expanded several times than the flame just now. The fiery flames quickly rose and spread to the outside world, igniting other planes. The fuel tank of this plane has been ignited!
Several groups of flames have already burned on the deck of the Falcon Eagle aircraft carrier. Damage control crews are doing their best to extinguish the blaze. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do. This aircraft carrier is like having a bonfire party. A bunch of flames? Burning on the top of the aircraft carrier deck, it looks very lively.
As the flame continued to spread, the entire flight deck was on fire. During the Cold War, the decks of aircraft carriers began to use advanced high-strength steel. Only a steel deck can withstand the impact of a jet landing. But during World War II, almost all aircraft carrier decks were made of wooden materials. In addition to saving steel, another important benefit is that it can provide a buffering effect and make the landing of carrier-based aircraft more stable. But now these logs are all harmful but not beneficial, they are all burning.
Soon, the entire deck was on fire. Needless to say, the personnel on the deck put out the flames. For them, being able to keep their own lives is already very good. In order to avoid being burned by the flames, the people on the deck even started to jump into the water one after another. Even if you can't swim, drowning is better than burning.
At this time, the nearby escorting warships have also reacted. The warship's anti-aircraft guns fired into the sky, but it was meaningless. The planes had finished their attack, they had dropped their bombs and moved forward.
The only one who can fight back is Captain Kuroda. While landing, he realized that the situation might have changed, so although the wheels had touched the flight deck, he pulled up the plane again. It's just that his plane's speed is not fast enough, and its maneuverability is not strong enough. After taking off, he has to fly forward and continue to climb, and he can only turn around after climbing to a certain height and speed. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
