Zhang Meng remembered that when the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, it was because the water depth of Pearl Harbor was shallow, and the torpedo would plunge into the mud after being dropped. For this reason, the Japanese army's method was to install a wooden cross panel at the tail of the torpedo to slow down the torpedo's sinking speed after entering the water and increase buoyancy.

Zhang Meng called the weapon engineer and ordered them to modify the torpedo tail according to this principle.

Due to the hasty time, the attack time has come. In order not to give the Japanese army time to prepare, Li Jianhui decided to set off immediately. He did not use torpedoes and only used aviation bombs, and he believed that he could sink the Japanese battleship.

Zhang Meng agreed to Li Jianhui's request, so all the Hellfires were loaded with aviation bombs and took off. The few Hellfire fighters that had been lost before had been replenished from the spare aircraft in the hangar, and the pilots came to fly, causing the bomber formation and the fighter formation to return to full state.

The engineers continued to hurry up and modify the torpedo tail. Finally, half an hour after the fleet set off, the engineers modified more than a dozen torpedo tails to install them with wooden cross tails. Although it was a bit rough, Zhang Meng was determined to give it a try and ordered eight torpedo reconnaissance aircraft to carry these torpedoes to Laolao Bay to participate in the operation.

When eight torpedo reconnaissance planes flew over Laolao Bay, the battle was still going on.

In addition to the two super battleships, Nagamon and Muro, all four other battleships and escort destroyers of the Japanese battleship detachment were sunk.

The fires in the bay are raging, and the smoke is rolling, covering the sky and the sun, just like the end of the world is coming.

When several Japanese warships sank, fuel continued to leak out. Two-thirds of the entire sea surface of Laolao Bay was stained with fuel and was ignited by the war.

The sea was burning, and thousands of Japanese survivors who fell into the water seemed to be in purgatory. Their bodies were burned by fire, choked with toxic smoke and coughed up blood. They sneaked into the water to avoid it, but soon they were forced to surface due to suffocation.

They swam desperately to the shore, even forcing the fire zone, but they still didn't do as they wished. Most of the aviation bombs of the Tang army bombers landed on the sea around the Japanese ships. Every time they exploded, they would cause huge waves hundreds of meters high, pushing these surviving Japanese troops into the farther sea. Some of the diving Japanese troops were stunned and sank directly into the seabed and drowned.

A few lucky people were pushed to the coast with the help of explosion shock waves, but on the beach, several Tang army raptors flew over the sea and shot under a machine cannon. All these Japanese sailors were slaughtered. Blood stained the beach red.

No one could live and escape, and the Tang army would not allow it, especially the Northeast pilots of the Raptor Squadron. They stared at the beach. Whenever Japanese sailors came ashore, they would fly over and slaughter them immediately.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The Nagamon battleship was once again hit by multiple aviation bombs, as if several huge craters were opened on the ship, and flames hundreds of meters high burst out from the crater. Huge mushroom clouds soared into the air.

The anti-aircraft artillery on the Changmen had already been silent, and most of them were destroyed by the Tang army's aviation bombs. Even if there were a few that could be used, no one would operate it. The Japanese army responsible for operating the anti-aircraft artillery had been wiped out under the suppression of the firepower of the Tang army's Raptors. Occasionally, a few Japanese knights climbed up to act as heroes, but they could not catch the Tang army's planes. Soon the Tang army's planes turned around and flew, and they were also slaughtered.

Shizuka Shinozuka stood in the commander's tower, where was the only place to safety. As the pride of the Japanese Navy, the Nagamon battleship was now beaten so hard that he could not even recognize it. The entire island was razed to the ground, and two of the four 40-centimeter giant cannon turrets had been blown away. The other turret's two huge gun barrels, which were more than ten meters long as two, were twisted into a twist shape by the terrifying explosion force of the Tang Army Air Bomb, which was quite terrifying.

There was only one main gun turret still firing. They could no longer see the target. They fired the gun just to prove that they were still fighting.

"Dong!"

The No. 4 gun barrel of the second gun position of Nagamon opened fire again. At the same time, the entire warship trembled violently. Many parts that had been blown by the bombs suddenly burst into pieces, and screws and rivets fell all over the floor.

The Changmen was pitch black and shrouded in thick smoke. The Japanese gunners didn't know where the gun had just been fired, but a Tang army fighter jet in the sky could see clearly.

"The Japanese are playing with self-harm! The Nagato actually gave the Mu Ao one shot!"

Through the radio intercom, all the Tang army pilots knew about it and burst into laughter.

In order to confirm, several Tang army fighter jets flipped over a few little heads into the black smoke. When they approached the Lu Ao, they saw that there was indeed a huge black hole more than two meters wide on the port side of the Lu Ao, and black smoke was rolling.

It was a 305mm thick special steel armor that could withstand direct hits from 410mm shells 20 kilometers away. Now it was opened with a hole more than two meters wide, which was obviously the result of the direct fire of the Nagato main gun just now.

"It's true that he's self-harm!"

The Luao battleship was originally relatively strong, and it was bombarded by the Tang army with more than a dozen 500-kilogram aviation bombs. The entire superstructure had been razed to the ground, leaving only a warship shell, but it did not sink yet because of its powerful armor protection.

Now the port side of the Muro Ao was bombarded by a gun from the Nagamon battleship. The sea water poured violently into it. The steel ship tens of thousands of tons finally couldn't stand it. In less than two minutes, more than 6,000 tons of sea water were poured into it and began to capsize in an instant.

"The Muo finally collapsed, and now the Nagato is left."

"Whoever has the bombs? Let's give it a few more shots. Nagato has no ability to resist, so you can feel at ease to get close to it and drop the bombs."

Li Jianhui shouted for a long time, but there was no bomb left.

Before, a group of bomber pilots were snatching credit, and everyone rushed forward together and rushed to throw all the bombs on the Nagamon and Muro, but now there is no bomb left.

"Do you have to do it again?"

Li Jianhui was considering whether to return to the air and do it again. At this time, good news came from the radio intercom, and eight torpedo reconnaissance planes arrived at the battlefield.

"Okay, let's try it to see if the modified aviation torpedo is effective. If it works, we will have a solution when we encounter a harbour similar to Laolao Bay in the future."

"clear!"

Eight torpedo reconnaissance aircraft slowly descended with the modified 900-kilogram aerial torpedo. In order to slow down the speed of torpedoes into the water as much as possible, eight torpedo reconnaissance aircraft slowed down as much as possible. Fortunately, the Nagato was covered by black smoke, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were either dead or injured. Even if there were still alive, they could only watch the torpedo aircraft approaching.

"Click!Click!Click!"

Eight torpedo reconnaissance aircraft dropped aviation torpedoes at the same time. Li Jianhui in the sky rolled his eyes and shouldn't have been projected out all at once. At least he could try it out first to see if it works. This is really a waste.

“Float!”

Sure enough, four of the eight torpedoes floated up, and the other four were pierced into the mud under the sea. Perhaps the hasty modified torpedo tail is not good enough.

"Nagato is dead now!"

You should know that the 900 kilogram aerial torpedo of the Tang army was so powerful that it was far more powerful than the current submarine-launched blackhead torpedoes in various countries around the world, reaching 1.5 times its explosive power.

Four torpedoes traveled at a depth of two meters below the sea at a speed of 55 knots, dragging a long bubble tail flame and crashed into the port side waterline belt of Nagamon at high speed.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

Four torpedoes hit the port side waterline belt of the Changmen, making a loud noise, shaking the world. The Changmen's 305mm waterline belt armor was instantly penetrated, causing huge waves hundreds of meters high.

The waterline is the weakest place for warships, and the turbines, fuel and ammunition storage. The violent explosion affected the fuel tanks and ammunition depots, and triggered a death-destruction.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

There were another series of loud noises, and the entire Nagamon battleship exploded. The steel warship was like the cracked earth in an earthquake, and the fire burst out like magma and rushed to a height of thousands of meters.

The flames of fire illuminated the entire sky of Laolao Bay, and the thick smoke billowed, devouring the world in the blink of an eye.

The nearby Tang army fighter planes climbed urgently and were far away from the explosion area for more than ten kilometers. The battleship's death was too dangerous. Large pieces of dust debris floated over the sky more than ten kilometers away.

Looking into the Nagamon, you can vaguely hear the huge hull of tens of thousands of tons creaking in the thick smoke. The straight hull was instantly blown into three pieces, sinking rapidly at the speed you see.

Click! Click! Click!

The pilots on the back seat of the torpedo reconnaissance plane hurriedly took the spectacular scene. The cameras in their hands were usually used to shoot ground intelligence in the air, but at this time they couldn't help but take them out to take pictures as a souvenir.

One of the photos was taking a formation of dozens of raptors and hellfires in the Tang army flying out of the rolling black smoke of the Big Bang. Behind them was the shocking scene of the battleship Nagato that exploded. This photo was cited as a classic since then and became a cited photo on the front page of newspapers from all over the world the next day, becoming a proof that the Tang Empire showed off its military power and beat the Japanese joint fleet.

"The Nagato was sunk!"

"We won!"

The radio was broadcasting in the cabins of the various ships of the Tang Army aircraft carrier battle group. After hearing this news, all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army immediately shouted loudly to celebrate.

On the bridge of the Tianwang aircraft carrier, Zhang Meng and his generals personally welcomed the Tang army warriors who returned from triumphantly, and celebrated the joy of annihilation of the Japanese battleship squadron.

"Your Highness, all the six active Japanese battleships were sunk by us. The little Japanese is finished this time!"

Li Haichen couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Everything seemed to be in a dream. A powerful Japanese joint fleet was defeated by the Tang Army aircraft carrier battle group. All the battleships that seemed impossible to be sunk were sunk. This was something he had never dared to think about before, but now under the leadership of Zhang Meng, it has come true.
