Devil's Army

Chapter 1989 Naval Battle with the "Musashi" Fleet 2

Two heavy aerial bombs slammed into the armor belt of the battleship "Musashi".

Although no major components were damaged, the violent tremors still caused the ship to shake violently.

The sailors on deck were rocked back and forth, and some were thrown directly into the turbulent sea.

The aerial combat has reached a fever pitch.

In an effort to disrupt the battle deployment of the "Musashi" battleship fleet, the air force of the First Army relentlessly bombarded the fleet's artillery, attempting to divert their attention to the air.

The fighter jets roared, and tracer bullets swept across the fleet deck like meteors.

The bombers roared and dropped their bombs at low altitude, creating huge waves on the sea around the fleet.

Many aerial bombs struck Japanese warships, causing them to burst into flames.

However, the Japanese fleet's artillery units worked together in a coordinated manner and were not disturbed by the Japanese air force at all.

Their anti-aircraft artillery focused intently on the air attack, organizing a dense barrage of bullets in the air to block the air raids of the First Army Air Force.

Other artillery units continued to bombard the Qingdao fleet relentlessly.

"The only seven Zero fighters on the battleship Musashi 34 were shot down by the First Army Air Force at the beginning of the war."

The First Army's air force is not engaged in air combat; instead, it is focusing all its efforts on bombing and strafing Japanese warships at sea.

Captain Yoshi's furious roar rang out again: "Destroyers, advance! Anti-submarine alert! Musashi &34, main guns maintain fire!"

However, it was suppressed by the massive guns of the battleship Musashi-34.

The Qingdao Fleet was constantly suppressed and attacked by the Japanese battleship fleet "Musashi".

Fortunately, at the cost of losing two aircraft, the First Air Force destroyed the two main guns on the bow of the battleship Musashi, greatly reducing its firepower.

Moreover, at this time, Japanese warships were generally not equipped with radar fire control systems, and air defense relied entirely on the experience of artillerymen.

So much so that a saying circulated among the US Air Force: "Showa-era air defense, nine out of ten shots miss."

Under the full-scale air attack of the First Air Force, many Japanese warships were severely damaged, and the situation began to tilt in favor of the Qingdao Fleet.

A destroyer from the Qingdao Fleet suddenly broke formation and fired two torpedoes at the battleship Musashi. However, it was subsequently subjected to heavy shelling from the Japanese warships. Its bow, bridge, and deck were damaged in multiple places, and it caught fire.

However, one of the two torpedoes it fired struck the port side of the battleship Musashi.

One of the secondary guns on the port side of the battleship "Musashi" was destroyed and fell into the sea.

A large hole was torn in the hull, and seawater rushed into the battleship.

Other Japanese warships accelerated forward, surrounding the battleship "Musashi".

The air force intensified its bombing of the Japanese fleet, sending columns of water shooting into the sky.

The Japanese warships swayed from side to side in the waves.

Under heavy bombing by the First Army Air Force, several Japanese warships were damaged.

Meanwhile, on the light aircraft carrier of the Qingdao Fleet, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft had already taken off, this time with their target aimed directly at the massive hull of the "Musashi".

The dark clouds pressed down lower and lower, and the artillery fire on the sea became increasingly intense.

The orange-red flames illuminated half the sky, and the roar of explosions rose and fell. The sounds of explosions from damaged ships, the shouts of sailors, and the howling of the sea wind intertwined, composing a tragic song of steel on the East China Sea.

The main guns of the Musashi were still roaring, but its bow had sunk slightly due to severe damage.
