Imperial Overlord

"Dive! Dive!" Amidst the hail of bullets, the pilot of the U.S. Navy attack plane shouted loudly on the radio.

​​

The sbd intrepid dive bomber is a new type of bomber that has just entered service in the United States. It was also the main dive bomber of the US military in the Battle of Midway.

​​

The first more than 50 aircrafts produced at first had average performance, and they were all dumped by the U.S. Navy to the Marine Corps. This is also a practice in U.S. history...

​​

Before World War II, the U.S. Marines were stepmothers. The Marines are still using Springfields at a time when the Army has already started switching to the M1 Garand.

​​

However, unlike in history, the war was out of the control of the top U.S. in 1940, and the mobilization of the U.S. military began at that time.

​​

Although on the surface, the United States did not join the war at that time, but at that time, the top U.S. military had already begun to prepare for war. Even if there is no expansion at the grassroots level, the upper level has already prepared for war mentally.

​​

Including all kinds of weapons, the United States is actively putting into production, using a much higher name than the National Socialist Party: they can sell weapons and equipment to support Britain and France.

​​

The actual situation is that the failure of France has left the United States with a large number of arms orders that have been dumped, and the surrender of the United Kingdom has also left the United States with a large number of weapons.

​​

If Germany waged war by borrowing to produce weapons, the United States was relying on other people's deposits to produce weapons and equipment for itself. In any case, this method is much more clever than Germany's.

​​

Subsequently, the sbd dreadnought dive bombers that were supposed to be handed over to France were all left by the United States and became the dive bombers used by the United States themselves.

​​

Now, these dive bombers are carrying out a ferocious attack on the Japanese warships. They are rushing straight down from the sky, in a net of fire, as close as possible to the Japanese warships.

​​

The sbd dreadnought carrier-based dive bomber is diving at a high altitude, and the American tbd ravager torpedo attack aircraft is flying close to the sea.

​​

The two types of aircraft cooperate with each other, which can greatly improve the hit rate of bombs, and can also cause greater damage to enemy ships.

​​

Because of the constant avoidance of bombs that may be dropped by American planes in the sky, Japanese warships frequently diverted their routes.

​​

This also means that in a short period of time, even if the Japanese navy clears its own deck, it cannot find a downwind direction to take off its own carrier aircraft.

​​

"I've locked on the target! The Japanese aircraft carrier below! It can't escape!" An American bombardier shouted loudly with his eyes against the eyepiece of the bombing scope.

​​

With his shouting, he pressed the button to drop the bomb, and an aerial bomb broke away from the bomb's pylon and fell to the sea.

​​

Just on the trajectory of the bomb's fall, the Japanese aircraft carrier Shōkaku was desperately turning to avoid a torpedo in the distance.

​​

This huge warship has drawn white waves on the sea, and its speed has increased to more than 25 knots.

​​

Originally, the aircraft carrier could not be commissioned until August 1941. It was also stimulated by the German Navy's victory that the Japanese Navy worked overtime to accept the new aircraft carrier.

​​

Similarly, this is also a newly-built fleet aircraft carrier in Japan, with many carrier-based aircraft and fierce firepower! It is a pity that because it is an aircraft carrier, there are very few air defense weapons.

​​

Who would have guessed that an aircraft carrier taking off fighter jets would lose the protection of fighter jets? The chaotic situation in front of him was not something that the aircraft carrier Shōkaku had considered at all.

​​

Therefore, this aircraft carrier, which has not had time to improve, has only a small number of anti-aircraft guns, and it is completely unable to cover all its defensive directions.

​​

"Quick! Quick! Immediately after the left turn is completed, make a right turn!" Commander Agagijima Takaji, the ship of the aircraft carrier Shōkaku, loudly ordered according to his command knife.

​​

Shōkaku had a torpedo on the broadside, and it rushed past the battleship's hull, almost hitting the battleship.

​​

"Very good! Pay attention to the anti-aircraft gun coverage! Drive out those dive bombers! They are almost out of ammunition!" Holding up the binoculars, Colonel Koji Jojima said confidently in the air defense command position.

​​

The two sides have been fighting together for 10 minutes, and the United States has not achieved any real victory, which made the morale of the Japanese army very high.

​​

As long as they held on for a while longer, the American planes would have no ammunition, and they had to return, and the next thing was the performance of the Japanese planes.

​​

Thinking of this, he put down the binoculars hanging on his chest, and then put his hands on the sandbags tied to the railing: "Telegram to General Nagumo Chuichi and ask him to arrange for a reconnaissance plane to track the US military as soon as possible!"

​​

He was already ready to fight back. After such a suffocating battle, Koji Jojima was ready to vent the pent-up dissatisfaction in his heart.

​​

"Bomb!" At this moment, an adjutant who looked up at the sky with a telescope shouted loudly.

​​

Before the shouting ended, a bomb dropped by an American sbd dreadnought dive bomber crashed into the fuselage of the aircraft parked on the deck of the aircraft carrier Shokaku.

​​

The heavy bomb smashed the Zero fighter into two pieces at once, and then the bomb smashed through the flight deck, leaving a hole in it.

​​

Before Shiroshima Gaoji could react, in his blank eyes, the deck was lifted up by a huge force, and even twisted.

​​

A huge explosion occurred in the hangar, where the 97th ship attack and the 99th ship explosion with torpedoes and bombs were parked there.

​​

These planes were prepared in advance to attack the U.S. fleet, and were pushed back into the hangar in order to receive friendly aircraft without fuel.

​​

Now, the U.S. military bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the hangar. Naturally, it also detonated the Japanese carrier aircraft that was filled with fuel and hung with ammunition.

​​

"It's over!" Senior Colonel Jojima Koji ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, who was standing in the air defense command position, cried out the words of despair in his heart.

​​

Now the hangar of the aircraft carrier Shokaku is like an ammunition depot. The explosion this time could definitely kill the battleship.

​​

Even if the plane inside exploded only halfway, it would be enough to break the aircraft carrier in two and sink to the bottom of the sea.

​​

Sure enough, in his desperate eyes, the wooden planks and armored steel plates on the deck were lifted up by a huge force, and the warship under his feet trembled so much that he could not stand.

​​

"Boom!" At this moment, a deafening explosion came through and penetrated into the ears of Jojima Gaoji. His ears immediately ached, and he could no longer hear the surrounding shouts.

​​

"It's over!" In the midst of the flames and explosions, he suddenly felt relieved and closed his eyes...
