Chapter 452 Sinking the Japanese Aircraft Carrier
The moment Bai Luo pressed the launch button, the engines of the eight Xiongji anti-ship missiles ignited rapidly.
The next moment, eight anti-ship missiles, each nearly 7 meters long with a wingspan of over 1.2 meters, quickly flew out of the launch tubes, leaving long trails of flame as they ascended into the air.
Then, as the missile accelerated to subsonic speed, the first-stage booster at the tail of the missile began to detach, and the second-stage booster engine began to fly towards the two Japanese aircraft carriers 150 kilometers away at Mach 1.
The entire launch process took less than 2 minutes.
After the eight Xiongji anti-ship missiles disappeared from the sight of Sha Niu and Qin Lan, leaving long trails of flame,...
The two hurriedly ran back to the operations center.
At this moment, eight unusually conspicuous red dots appeared on the large screen in the operations center, moving at high speed in a fan-shaped column.
"Child, where did you hit?"
After staring at the big screen for nearly three minutes, Qin Lan finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.
"The Japanese aircraft carrier 150 kilometers away."
At this moment, Bai Luo stared intently at the screen on the control panel.
At this moment, the intelligent system Xiao Lan on the Silly Bear is constantly making fine adjustments to the launched missiles through the ship's onboard radar.
Ensure that the eight Bear Strike missiles accurately hit the two aircraft carriers.
"Commander, coordinates have been locked. The missile is expected to reach the target in 4 minutes."
After adjusting the flight trajectory of the anti-ship missile, Xiao Lan, the intelligent system of the Silly Bear, immediately reported to Bai Luo.
Bai Luo felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this.
With a single volley of shots, he lost all 4 points.
However, the thought that 4 points could be exchanged for two large Japanese aircraft carriers made Bai Luo feel much better.
As time went by, the two Xiongji anti-ship missiles that were launched first were less than 5 kilometers away from Xiaotun Naval Base.
Meanwhile, in the tea room at the naval port, Nobuyuki Yamada and Kazuo Matsushita could faintly hear sharp, piercing roars coming from the night sky.
"What? Yamada-kun, did you hear something?"
Matsushita Kazuo, who was the first to notice the commotion outside, glanced at the tea room window a few times.
He then asked Yamada Nobuyuki, who was sitting opposite him.
Nobuyuki Yamada was also frowning deeply. He too could hear the booming sound in the night sky getting closer and closer to them.
"Mr. Matsushita, I heard it too, but it doesn't sound like an airplane. Does this sound familiar to you?"
Upon hearing this, Matsushita Kawaichiro immediately shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of such a sound either.
At that moment, a bad feeling welled up in Yamada Nobuyuki's heart.
He quickly poked his head out of the tea room window, his eyes constantly scanning the night sky for any movement.
Just over 10 seconds later, Yamada Nobuyuki saw two red dots rapidly approaching him in the southwestern night sky.
Yamada Shin exclaimed instinctively.
"what is that?"
"Where? Where?"
Upon hearing Yamada Nobuyuki's exclamation, Matsushita Kawaichiro quickly poked his head out of the tea room window.
Following Yamada Nobuyuki's gaze, we could see two red dots rapidly approaching in the sky.
A look of confusion appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.
"It doesn't look like an airplane."
"Guard! Guard!"
Yamada Nobuyuki's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. He could no longer sit still and shouted loudly at the entrance of the tea room.
Nobuyuki Yamada's voice had barely faded when the door to the tea room was pulled open.
A Japanese guard appeared at the entrance of the teahouse.
"Quickly, sound the air raid siren!"
The Japanese guards at the door were startled by what they heard, and for a moment they wondered if they had misheard.
When Yamada Nobuyuki saw the guards standing there stunned after he gave the order, he immediately started cursing.
"Baka yarou, hurry up!"
"Hi!"
The guards at the gate were scolded before they realized they hadn't misheard.
He immediately rushed outside.
But at this moment, the Xiongji anti-ship missile had already reached within 1 kilometer of Xiaotun naval port.
The Bear Strike anti-ship missile, equipped with a propulsion engine, begins to separate from its warhead, and at the same time, the tail of the anti-ship missile warhead ignites rapidly.
The next moment, the speed of the Xiongji anti-ship missile increased instead of decreasing, soaring directly to Mach 1.5.
It rammed hard into the island of one of the Japanese aircraft carriers.
At this moment, Nobuyuki Yamada and Kazuo Matsushita had also run out of the tea room.
As soon as they came out, the two Japanese lieutenant generals saw a scene so shocking it almost gave them a heart attack.
But by then, it was too late for either of them to take any countermeasures.
They could only watch helplessly as bombs resembling aerial bombs rained down on the Imperial aircraft carrier below.
The first anti-ship missile hit the island superstructure of the aircraft carrier Ruihe, which was commanded by Kazuo Matsushita.
With a loud "BOOM!!!"
In an instant, a violent explosion, like fireworks, erupted on the island superstructure of the Japanese aircraft carrier Ruihe.
The explosion was accompanied by a blinding flash of light, which completely dispelled the darkness over the Japanese naval port of Xiaotun.
The island superstructure of the Ruihe was also torn apart at the moment of the explosion.
The shattered metal fragments, carried by the shockwave of the explosion, transformed into jets of metal that shot wildly towards the surrounding sea and shore, passing through the intense flames caused by the explosion.
Matsushita Kazuo and Yamada Nobuyuki, who were on the shore, were also in a sorry state. Under the protection of the guards, they hurriedly rushed to the nearest watchtower for shelter.
"Go! Order the Xianghe's fighter jets to take off immediately and give them a fierce counterattack!!!"
Nobuyuki Yamada, who had just taken cover behind the watchtower, grabbed a guard in front of him and yelled.
Hi...hi!
The Japanese guards were also somewhat flustered by the sudden attack and hurriedly responded to Yamada Nobuyuki's orders.
But the Japanese guards, who had just stepped out of the watchtower, saw a huge fireball in the night sky, crashing into the deck of the Xianghe at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.
At this time, more than 80 carrier-based aircraft were parked on the deck of the Xianghe.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion echoed once again over Xiaotun Naval Port.
The powerful shockwave from the anti-ship missile's explosion destroyed or blew away carrier-based aircraft on the deck.
Those who are lucky will fall directly into the sea.
Those who were unlucky enough to fall heavily onto the deck added fuel to the fire that was already raging on the deck.
When Yamada Nobuyuki saw the Japanese guards suddenly stop, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had anticipated something.
He quickly poked his head out of the watchtower's cover.
Then he saw that the deck of his Xianghe had been turned into a sea of fire.
The fire had almost completely engulfed the carrier-based aircraft.
"Baka!! Baka!! What are you idiots looking at? Go put out the fire!!!"
Yamada Nobuyuki was going crazy at this moment. If it weren't for the soldiers holding him back, he would have wanted to put out the fire himself.
After Yamada Nobuyuki's loud shout, the Japanese soldiers around him seemed to wake up from a dream and began to rush towards the naval port.
We're getting ready to put out the fire.
But as soon as they took action, the remaining six anti-ship missiles also entered their final acceleration phase.
Under the control of the Silly Bear's intelligent system, Xiao Lan, the remaining high-explosive armor-piercing missiles headed directly for the ammunition depots and engine rooms of the two aircraft carriers.
Unsurprisingly, the armor plating surrounding the ammunition depots of the two aircraft carriers was completely ineffective against the penetration of high-explosive armor-piercing rounds.
The ammunition depots of the two Japanese aircraft carriers were breached almost simultaneously.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!"
The explosions in the ammunition depots of the two Japanese aircraft carriers were like a small earthquake, causing the entire carriers to tremble violently.
The steel plates of the ship's hull twisted and deformed directly under the combined effects of high temperature and impact, and the bottom of the Xianghe was even torn apart.
The icy seawater had begun to pour into the bottom of the cabin.
It's only a matter of time before it sinks. Meanwhile, the other aircraft carrier, the Ruihe, has already sunk its bow to the bottom of the sea.
Nobuyuki Yamada could no longer support his body and collapsed to the ground.
As for Kazuo Matsushita, he had already fled to a small airfield behind the naval port after his aircraft carrier was attacked.
Judging from his posture, he wanted to find the enemy who ambushed him himself.
