While the USS Ohio was avoiding torpedoes, eight "Fish Eagle" dive bombers also began to attack. The "Fish Eagle" dive bombers and the "Osprey" torpedo attack aircraft attacked the target together and have become the carrier-based aircraft force of the Chinese Navy.
common tactics.
If a battleship wants to avoid torpedoes, it must turn immediately and maintain this turning posture for a period of time. This undoubtedly gives the 'Fish Eagle' dive bomber in the sky a good opportunity, which can greatly improve the
The hit rate of their bombs!
"Jie Jie!" When the battleship 'Ohio' began to turn, eight 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers had entered the dive channel and began to dive, while making an unbearable high-pitched roar. In the Chinese Navy's
As the dive bombers dived, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the Ohio also fired back.
Dense bullets and artillery shells were fired at the diving fighter plane. During the dive, the fighter plane could not change its course, and it was also relatively dangerous during this period. However, the speed was very fast during the dive, and there was only a short time from the dive to the bombing.
It only takes two or three seconds. It is very difficult for the US air defense forces to hit the high-speed diving bomber.
Eight 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers dropped bombs when they were only 450 meters away from the target battleship 'Ohio'. Eight heavy aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms hit the 'Ohio' battleship. At this time, the 'Ohio'
The battleship ' is avoiding torpedoes and cannot effectively avoid aerial bombs falling in the sky!
When the USS Ohio was hit by a torpedo, aerial bombs hit the unlucky battleship almost at the same time. Among the 8 aerial bombs, four of them hit it. The bow, front deck, and amidships
The parts of the ship and the stern of the ship were hit one after another. In addition, three torpedoes were hit near the waterline, and the 'Ohio' was severely damaged by such a blow!
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff! The 'Ohio' has been severely damaged, please relocate immediately!" The rear admiral and captain of the battleship 'Ohio' looked anxiously to Admiral William Benson and Lieutenant General Edward Able.
Report!
"How is the loss of the 'Ohio'?" Lieutenant General Edward Able asked. After suffering 3 torpedoes and 4 bombs, the situation of the 'Ohio' is probably very bad. Even the battleship 'Ohio'
The displacement is as high as 25,000 tons. But it cannot bear such losses!
"Chief of Staff, the armor near the waterline has been torn to pieces, and three large holes have appeared. Damage control personnel are trying to plug the holes, but the possibility of success is very small! In addition, a small part of the ship's bow was blown off.
Water also began to enter. One of the forward main guns was destroyed. The engine room was also affected.
A big hole was also blown out of the rear deck!" the captain of the battleship USS Ohio reported. The battleship's waterline armor was only 305 mm, which was unable to withstand direct hits from torpedoes! Such losses have already affected the '
The battleship USS Ohio posed a deadly threat!
"Your Excellency, Commander, let's transfer immediately! Transfer to the 'Philadelphia-class' heavy cruiser." Lieutenant General Edward Able said quickly. Obviously, all the battleships of the US Navy have become Chinese aircraft.
The main target of attack is Philadelphia.
The 'Philadelphia-class' heavy cruiser will not be affected for the time being. Moreover, relying on the high speed of the 'Philadelphia-class' heavy cruiser, it may be possible for them to escape. However, all the battleships may have to be lost, just like Sicily
The same as the combined British and French naval fleets in naval battles!
"I order everyone on board the USS Ohio to leave immediately! The fleet is under the command of Lieutenant General Edward Able!" A trace of despair flashed in Admiral William Benson's eyes, and then he ordered in a deep voice!
"Your Excellency, Commander. What about you?" Lieutenant General Edward Able was surprised and asked quickly. General William Benson's words seemed to be giving his last words!
"I will sink to the bottom of the sea with the USS Ohio! We lost this battle, and the United States also lost! And I will be responsible for this failure!" Admiral William Benson said. He
His teacher Mahan was killed in the first Sino-US Pacific naval battle, and he was also captured. After that, his goal was to defeat the Chinese navy.
Revenge for the dead teacher. But now, all hopes have been shattered. He knows very well how losing this naval battle will have a great impact on the United States. The United States may not exist anymore. In this case, he
There is no point in living! In addition, he blames himself very much for this failure, so he has the desire to die!
"Ah! Your Excellency, Commander. How can you have such an idea? We have tried our best, but the reason why we still fail is entirely because the Chinese are too powerful. They are much stronger than us, and we cannot defeat them!" Edward
Lieutenant General Abor said that he never expected that General William Benson would be responsible for this failure in this way.
"No need to say more, Lieutenant General Abor, the fleet is left to you! You should leave immediately, the battleship 'Ohio' probably won't last long! I have been a navy all my life, and I can use a battleship as a coffin.
It can be considered a good result!” General William Benson
He said with a smile. However, his smile looked so bitter. No one wants to die. If there is hope, everyone wants to live. Admiral William Benson has no hope now, and his belief in living
I was also shattered. I felt that living was meaningless and wanted to die!
"Your Excellency, Commander, you have to think twice!" Lieutenant General Edward Able pleaded. Americans are very important to the direction of life, and no one would have expected that General William Benson would be so fierce.
"Go! Leave now! Otherwise I will shoot!" Admiral William Benson yelled, and at the same time he took out his gun, pointed it at Edward Abor and others, and drove them all out of the ship.
bridge, and then locked the hatch, leaving one person alone on the bridge!
Lieutenant General Edward Able tried hard and found that he could not change Admiral William Benson's mind, so he had to give up. At this moment, the battleship 'Ohio' had begun to sink, and a large number of American naval officers and soldiers were escaping from the sinking battleship.
Battleship Lieutenant General Edward Able had no choice but to board the transport boat with other officers and leave the USS Ohio.
A few minutes later, the bow of the battleship 'Ohio' completely sank into the sea. Things that were not fixed on the battleship began to slide towards the bow, and finally fell into the sea. William, who locked himself in the bridge,
Admiral Benson looked calmly as he watched the battleship sink to the bottom of the sea little by little. Slowly, even the bridge where he was sitting sank.
into the sea. Finally, the USS Ohio battleship sank into the sea with its face down and its stern up. Only half of the more than 700 members on the battleship successfully escaped. Others, including the United States
Everyone, including Admiral William Benson, commander of the Navy's East Coast Fleet, sank to the bottom of the sea with the battleship and rested here forever!
As the commander of the U.S. East Coast Fleet and the commander of the U.S.-British Combined Fleet, Admiral William Benson, in despair, chose this tragic way to end his life. This is also a huge disaster for the U.S. Navy.
Attack. Up to this point in the war, they have always been passively beaten. Now even the commander has committed suicide in despair, let alone other naval officers and soldiers!
When the USS Ohio was under siege, other battleships of the U.S. Navy were not spared. The USS Texas, also a New York-class battleship, was also attacked by more than a dozen Osprey torpedoes.
aircraft and 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers. However, the battleship 'Texas' was relatively unlucky.
Well, it was besieged by more than a dozen fighter planes, and in the end it only suffered two bombs and one torpedo. Although it was severely damaged, there was no danger of sinking. Only because a transmission shaft was blown off, the battleship's speed was affected.
It has a great impact. Of course, it is already very good to be able to avoid sinking and save the lives of the naval officers and soldiers on the battleship!
The 'Wyoming-class' battleship is the first super battleship built by the U.S. Navy in imitation of the British Navy's 'Orion-class' battleship. It has a displacement of 25,000 tons and is equipped with five twin-mounted 343mm main guns. The firepower is very powerful. The United States
The Navy built a total of four
There are only three "Wyoming-class" battleships, but the "Arkansas" battleship was sunk when it attacked China's naval base. Now there are only three ships left. However, the remaining three battleships are on board of the Chinese Navy.
Under the siege of the machine, it is still unable to resist!
The Wyoming dashed left and right on the sea like a frightened whale. However, it was still hit by two torpedoes and two aerial bombs, and then lay on the sea like a dead fish, unable to escape.
!
The USS New Hampshire had bad luck. During the siege, it was hit by four torpedoes and three aerial bombs. Its keel was broken into three parts. In less than two minutes, this huge battleship sank.
In the sea, not one of the more than 700 naval officers and soldiers on the battleship survived!
Of course, the USS Louisiana was not immune. Twelve carrier-based aircraft besieged the battleship. Although the USS Louisiana's counterattack shot down an Osprey torpedo attack aircraft, this was
Unable to save his severely wounded command. In
After eating two torpedoes and three bombs, this battleship completely lost its combat effectiveness! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
