Chapter 100 As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly

After the fourth bomb hit "Kaga", the next two bombs that fell failed to hit it, but at this time the aircraft carrier had already tilted, the power supply was completely cut off, and the internal passages were also blocked by fire. Most of the crew were trapped Can't get out below. The shooting commander on the ship hurried to the bridge, urging Captain Okada Jisaku and his staff to leave the ship as soon as possible. Okada didn't seem to understand what happened, he stood on the bridge, staring up at the sky in a daze, after hearing what the shooting commander said, he shook his head drunkenly: "I want to stay on the ship. "It seems that Okada wants to fulfill the oath of "the people are in the ship", but in fact it is very unwise to keep the promise at this time, because the situation of "the people are not there, the ship is not there" will soon appear.

The U.S. pilots were happy as if they had made a fortune. They took turns to attack and dropped bombs continuously. The seventh bomb that followed fell into the elevator shaft at the bow, and an explosion occurred among the planes parked in the hangar. These had been refueled. A loaded aircraft never has a chance to return to the flight deck. The eighth bomb hit the bridge, and in the blink of an eye, the bridge ceased to exist, and Okada and the firing commander were reduced to dust. Flight Chief Takahisa Amaya became the highest ranking officer on the ship. He took command in place of the dead captain and tried to save the aircraft carrier by extinguishing the fire.

However, a power source is required to extinguish the fire. In the absence of lighting and power sources, it is impossible to extinguish the fire. When the ninth bomb landed in the middle of the aircraft carrier, it proved that this effort was in vain—bombs and torpedoes on the aircraft carrier. Chain explosions, the speed of the hull slowed down significantly, that is to say, it couldn't move. In war, even 5 seconds can change the situation of the battle, let alone 5 minutes.Later, people commented that it was the "5-minute difference" that allowed Japan's large aircraft carrier to step into the melting pot.

Most of the people on "Akagi" were concentrating on preparing their own carrier-based aircraft to take off, so they didn't pay much attention to the attack on "Kaga", and even if they knew that the US bombers were coming again, Nagumo, Kusaka, and Genda The others are not particularly worried. The mobile unit has already experienced the patronage of the 7-wheeled fleet. So many planes are all staring at the aircraft carrier, but they have not caused any damage to the aircraft carrier. But they didn't expect that the reason why they succeeded repeatedly in the past was actually a large part of luck, and good luck would not always be on their side.

At 10:24, a take-off order came from the microphone of the "Akagi" bridge. The flight captain waved a small white flag, and a "Zero" fighter was the first to fly off the deck at full power.At this moment, the lookout post shouted: "Dive bomber!" Fuchida on the bridge raised his head when he heard the news, and he saw three bombers diving straight, and they seemed to be coming straight to the bridge. From the short and stubby appearance of the planes, he recognized that they were "fearless planes". "Mode. Like "Kaga", it was too late to evade. "Akagi" began to fire violently with the anti-aircraft guns on its naval guns, but even this measure was too late. "Fearless" was getting closer and closer. Three black dots fell, dangling and falling vertically.

bomb!Fuchida instinctively lay down on the ground, and then carefully climbed behind a piece of bulletproof shield. The first bomb of Best VB-6 Squadron missed by a tiny bit and landed about 10 meters away from the port side of the bow.After the explosion, the jet of water fell on the bridge, dousing all the officers like drowned rats. People who are right and wrong, people who are right and wrong, Nanyun and his staff travel everywhere, they are the only ones who provoke others, no one dares to touch them, at this point, no matter how scared they are in their hearts, they still have to put on airs and pretend to be Taishan on the surface The appearance of being unmoved by Beng Yuqian is the so-called "surprise but not panic".The others were already so frightened that their faces turned purple and they kept shaking.

It was right to tremble, because "surprise but not panic" could not last long. To be precise, it was only a few seconds. A few seconds later, the second bomb landed near the elevator in the middle of the ship. Fuchita looked around, horrified at the damage done in a few seconds: a hole had been blasted in the back of the elevator, and the elevator itself had been blown up like a futuristic sculpture, or a piece of burnt glass The board fell crookedly in the hangar.The steel plate of the flight deck rolled upwards in a strange shape, and the tail of the aircraft ready to launch was facing upwards. Thick smoke was rising from the fuselage, and blue flames were constantly spraying out.

Everyone had foreseen the destructive power of the third bomb, and no one dared to "not panic". Fuchida staggered along the escalator and ran into the pilot waiting room. They were all people who had just been sick, and Genda, who had a higher official rank than him, was not at all slow in escaping.The chief staff member of Nagumo rolled on the spot, then pressed his face against the deck and crossed his arms to protect his head.If it is not in an extraordinary period, it is almost a bit of the chic demeanor of the Japanese version of 007. The third bomb was very condescending to "Ertian" and did not look for them. It finally landed on the rear part of the port side of the flight deck. About 200 people were thrown into the sea by the blast caused by the explosion.

There was a terrible silence on "Chicheng", and "Japanese version 007" saw that he was unscathed, and became inexplicably optimistic again. Genda's optimism is not completely unfounded. Under normal circumstances, two bombs on an aircraft carrier would not be fatal, especially for such a heavy aircraft carrier. In this regard, those who shake paper fans are obviously not as sophisticated as those who once licked blood from a knife edge. Fuchita, who hid in the waiting room, has completely different ideas from "007".
