"idiot! Do damage control immediately! Put out the fires and plug the leaks! The warriors of the empire stood firm in their air defense positions and fought against the Germans! Lieutenant General Kondo Nobutake shouted loudly.

"Hi, General!"The formation's chief of staff, Colonel Takajima Nagashima, replied.

Damage control personnel wearing gas masks rushed to the fire scene in an attempt to extinguish the fire.

In the cabin on the bottom, there were also a large number of damage control personnel trying to block the fire that was blown up after being hit by a torpedo. The large hole prevents the influx of seawater into the ship and prevents the aircraft carrier from sinking due to excessive water intrusion.

But unfortunately, the efforts of these Japanese people were in vain because the attacks by the Third Reich's carrier-based aircraft groups continued. Bombs and torpedoes continued to hit the Eagle aircraft carrier, making the aircraft carrier's injuries more and more serious. Even if the damage control personnel tried their best, they could not prevent the aircraft carrier's injuries from getting worse. Soon, this aircraft carrier A huge aircraft carrier with a displacement of 30,000 tons is already scarred.

It is not that easy to sink a huge aircraft carrier with a displacement of 30,000 tons. The huge hull has a huge reserve buoyancy, allowing it to withstand a blow It is also very capable.

The fierce siege of the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich constantly dropped aerial bombs and torpedoes on the aircraft carrier Flying Eagle.

Explosions continued to sound on the aircraft carrier Flying Eagle, fire filled the air, and thick smoke billowed.

After the armor near the waterline was penetrated, a large amount of seawater poured into the ship. When the damage control personnel could not plug the leak, they could only close the watertight compartment.

Although this prevented more seawater from flowing in influx to prevent seawater from flooding into other cabins. But it also makes many cabins on the bottom unusable.

"Boom, boom, boom! Da da da!"

The aircraft carrier USS Flying Eagle and its escort warships continued to fire with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, attacking the carrier-based aircraft in the sky. But unfortunately, although they shot down some carrier-based aircraft, they still could not save the USS Flying Eagle. The tragic ending of the aircraft carrier.

After being hit by more than a dozen torpedoes and more than 20 heavy aerial bombs, the USS Flying Eagle sank into the Great Sea, becoming the first aircraft carrier to be sunk in this naval battle.

When the aircraft carrier Flying Eagle was sunk, its sister aircraft carrier Hayabusa was also besieged by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy.

Moreover, after suffering a large number of torpedoes and aerial bombs, the aircraft carrier Hayabusa It is already scarred.

The hull has been damaged by the bombing, with big holes everywhere. The fire has spread to the lower cabin of the aircraft carrier. The damage control personnel on the aircraft carrier also tried their best to put out the fire. But there are constant The aerial bomb hit the aircraft carrier Hayabusa, making it impossible to extinguish the fire on the aircraft carrier. In other words, the fire here was extinguished, but it burned again in other places. However, many damage control personnel were burned to death or inhaled toxic substances. poisoned by gas

"boom!"

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.

The oil tank located in the lower compartment of the aircraft carrier exploded in the fire.

A large amount of fuel burned, and the high-temperature flames even distorted the steel plates.

"Your Excellency, Captain, it's over, we're done, please leave here immediately!"An officer reported to Captain Masato Oto with a frustrated look on his face.

"idiot! I'm not going anywhere. If the Falcon is going to sink, then I will sink to the bottom of the sea with the Falcon!"Colonel Masato Oto was very determined.

In the end, when the aircraft carrier Hayabusa sank, Colonel Masato Oto locked himself in the captain's room and sank with the ship.

Two aircraft carriers were sunk, and this was just one That's it.

The other three Great Eagle-class aircraft carriers of the 5th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Combined Fleet also became targets of attacks by the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Third Reich Navy. As a result, these three aircraft carriers with a displacement of 21,000 tons were quickly injured. Although the displacement of the Eagle-class aircraft carrier is not small, the disadvantages of aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships are very obvious. The hull is too fragile and cannot withstand the attacks of aerial bombs and torpedoes. Once hit, the trauma It’s very serious and it’s hard to hold on.

When the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Third Reich Navy were frantically attacking the Japanese aircraft carriers, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft groups were also frantically attacking the Third Reich Navy’s aircraft carriers.

Third The eight Goliath-class aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy's 4th Aircraft Carrier Group have all become the targets of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft groups.

Even though the Third Reich Navy's aircraft carrier battle group has powerful anti-aircraft firepower, it still cannot completely stop these carrier-based aircraft. s attack

"boom! boom! boom!"

Explosions continued to sound on the aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy. One aircraft carrier after another was hit and caught fire.

The displacement of the Giant-class aircraft carrier was not large. Even though it was a professional aircraft carrier, its defense power was compared to that of a commercial ship modified. The aircraft carrier is much more powerful. However, after suffering a lot of bombs and torpedoes, many aircraft carriers are still in crisis. The aircraft carrier Respectable has been attacked for ten times by the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group. Multiple aerial bombs. Among these aerial bombs, there are 500-kilogram heavy aerial bombs and 250-kilogram aerial bombs, to name a few.

But these aerial bombs have left the hull of the HMS Reverent aircraft carrier riddled with scars. There were hundreds of holes in it, and a raging fire broke out.

At the same time, the aircraft carrier Reverent was hit by several torpedoes.

For an aircraft carrier with a displacement of only more than 18,000 tons, it has obviously suffered fatal wounds..

Soon, the aircraft carrier"Formidable" sank into the sea, becoming the first aircraft carrier lost by the Third Reich Navy in this naval battle.

Following the sinking of the"Formidable" aircraft carrier, was the aircraft carrier"Revenge".

This aircraft carrier was also hit by more than a dozen aerial bombs and several torpedoes.

Because the hull was seriously damaged, more and more water poured into the hull, so that the aircraft carrier sank into the sea because of too much water..

The other six Giant-class aircraft carriers of the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Third Reich Navy were also caught in a bitter battle. Almost every aircraft carrier was hit and suffered heavy damage.

But similarly, the Toyo people's carrier-based aircraft group also The losses were heavy. A large number of carrier-based aircraft were shot down during the battle and fell into the sea. Some of them were shot down by the anti-aircraft fighters of the Third Reich Navy, and some were shot down by the anti-aircraft firepower of the fleet.
