Chapter 101 expectations shattered

Fuchida cried because he thought of a terrible scene. The flight deck is full of planes loaded with bombs and fuel, and the planes waiting to be hoisted below the deck are full of torpedoes and fuel.Bombs, torpedoes, and fuel have all become sharp swords that stab themselves, and the planes are still on fire one by one. These are not the worst. The hangar at "Akagi" has just experienced some hectic activity.After the crew unloaded the bombs, they had to rush to load the torpedoes. The unloaded bombs were not sent to the ammunition depot in time, but were all randomly piled up near the hangar...

Assuming that if the mobile unit wins, maybe no one cares about how to load and unload. Maybe the bomb unloading personnel will be regarded as meritorious ministers and praised as better than Bodhisattvas. Unfortunately, they will be demoted immediately. Animals are not as good. After a brief silence, the terrifying scene that Fuchita imagined became a reality.The high temperature generated by the combustion of gasoline induced the 800-kilogram bombs piled up in the hangar, which exploded violently, turning the hangar into a burning blast furnace. Even the use of carbon dioxide fire extinguishers could not control the fire.The captain was forced to have no choice but to order water to flood the ammunition depot.

The scene on the flight deck was also horrible. The hot air waves released by the burning aircraft made it difficult for firefighting teams to approach. According to the operating rules of the ship mother, the officers and soldiers on board must wear long shirts and trousers, which are helpful for fire prevention. However, the Japanese were so arrogant before the Midway Island War that they were not even prepared for this most basic precaution. They all wore tropical clothes. shorts and short-sleeved shirts, resulting in many unnecessary casualties. Fuchita's waiting room is rapidly turning into an emergency room, filled with people with severe burns.Fuchita asked an ambulanceman why he didn't send the wounded to the sick cabin, and the man told him, not to mention the sick cabin, the cabin below was on fire.

As soon as Yuantian heard this, he wanted to run back to his cabin to participate in the rescue, but there was no way to go back. The raging fire and thick smoke quickly made him rational. Yuantian was sweating all over, and he thought with lingering fear, if he was still lying comfortably on the bed like other sick patients, wouldn't his life be over?As the chain explosions in the hangar intensified, the waiting room was no longer safe, and thick smoke rushed in through the aisle, and Fuchita had to climb back to the bridge again. When Fuchida returned to the bridge with a dazed expression, he happened to bump into Yuanda. "Erta" was an old classmate who had been trained together in the Naval Academy. Genda was no longer optimistic at this time. He took a look at Yuantian and said only one sentence: "We screwed up."

The situation in "Akagi" is becoming completely out of hand, the steering wheel system has been blown up, the main engine has stopped, and the radio room and antenna have also become dust, making it impossible to communicate with the outside world.The once majestic "Chicheng" became paralyzed, deaf and dumb. Chief of Staff Kusakaru urged Nagumo to evacuate "Akagi" immediately and move the headquarters to another warship. However, Nanyun was always coy and refused to move his nest. Cao Lu urged him two or three times, but he was still standing beside a compass on the bridge.

Nanyun is the commander of the mobile force, not the captain, so there is no need for such an attitude.Cao Lu couldn't tell the truth face to face, so he could only restrain his temper and continue to plead: "Sir, most of our warships are still intact, you must take the responsibility of commanding the troops." Taijiro Aoki, the captain of the "Akagi", also stepped forward to persuade: "Sir, I will take care of the warship. We all beg you to remove the commander's flag so that you can continue to command the troops." At this moment, the adjutant ran up to report to Caolu that the bridge escalator had been sealed by fire, and the only way to escape was to grab the rope and slip down.

Hearing the adjutant's words, everyone's faces turned yellow with fright, but the more this happened, the harder it was for Nan Yun to say something like running away immediately. Instead, he had to make a more death-defying expression: Don't kill chickens and wipe your necks with me here I wink, I'm not afraid! The grass deer is in a hurry.Hades said he would come over at midnight, so he would definitely not wait until the fifth watch, the old man almost sent invitations directly, what are you still pretending in front of us? The matter has come to this point, and the problem of face is no longer considered. Caolu raised his voice and criticized Nanyun in a rare way, saying that Nanyun replaced reason with emotion on this issue. Do you think you are a sentimental little officer?wrong!

Nanyun blushed and had a thick neck after being criticized, so he agreed to obey reason, that is, to leave the ship and flee for his life. The adjutant's words really didn't scare everyone, because Nagumo's pretentiousness delayed the time, everyone had to climb out of the front window of the bridge first, and then grabbed the rope and slid down. The grass deer was short and fat, almost squeezed into the window and couldn't get out. The people behind pushed hard twice before pushing the short and fat man out.He couldn't hold on to the rope, so he dropped his hand midway and fell on the flight deck, spraining his ankle and burning his hands and feet.

Yuantian was the last one to slide down. At this time, the rope was already burning and the escalator was too hot to touch his hands, so he had to jump hard. As soon as he jumped up, another explosion happened in the hangar, and "Akagi" jolted violently. Fuchita was thrown into the air, then fell heavily on the flight deck, and he lost consciousness immediately. After waking up, Yuantian found that although he didn't hang up immediately, it was actually not much better than hanging up. His ankle and ankle were all injured. Yuan Tian was a blessing in disguise.He was not Nagumo's aide. According to regulations, he could not withdraw unless the other pilots withdrew, but he was injured—and it was a serious injury, so it was different.Two soldiers rushed out from the thick smoke, lifted him into the rope net, and swung him into the lifeboat like a swing, squeezing him with Nagumo, Caolu, Yuanda and others.

On the lifeboat, Fuchita barely propped himself up, and looked back at the burning aircraft carrier.He used to be the most prominent flight captain in the Japanese naval aviation, but now, like his own aircraft carrier, he is facing the fate of having his wings clipped, and he will never be able to get up and fly again. Among the mobile units, "Akagi" and "Kaga" belonged to the 1st Air Fleet, and "Soryu" and "Hyryu" belonged to the 2nd Air Fleet.When "Akagi" was shot and turned into a raging hell, Genda was still looking forward to it. He kept cheering himself up: "We will not lose, because we still have the 2nd Air Fleet."

Before fleeing from "Akagi", Genda glanced at "Soryu".Just this one glance made him truly shocked for the first time in his life, and he became stunned and at a loss. "Canglong" was also emitting thick white smoke!
