Six hundred and five [Arizona] sinking

Thank you brothers and sisters for your support!

Thanks!

...

"boom!"

An armor-piercing bomb hit the second turret of the [Arizona], penetrated the deck, causing an explosion in the bow.

With a tremendous sound like a shattering sound, the warship was as if human limbs were broken, and a hole that was nearly 30 meters long and more than 5 meters wide was torn open on the hull. The ship's side was almost blown off, and the exposed internal organs rolled out and burned, spraying out blue flames dozens of meters away.

Mitsuo Shinda grinned and commanded the fighter plane to continue to drop bombs, and the bomb continued to fall like hail.

Isn’t you Zhou Zhihan powerful?

Didn’t Wildcat No. 214 want to protect [Arizona] in a comprehensive way?

hehe,

You can't keep it.

What Zhou Zhihan wants to protect, the Great Japanese Empire must be completely destroyed.

Mizuo Furida looked at the current battle results and was very satisfied. He had already won a great victory. How big can a small Zhou Zhihan make?

【Arizona】stricken.

In another loud noise, a turret weighing hundreds of tons was thrown forty or fifty meters into the air by a powerful shock wave. After falling, it hit a corpse. The water suddenly had blood flying, and the remaining limbs and flesh were splattering everywhere...

Suddenly, an 800-kilogram bomb was smashed down.

"Boom...Boom..."

The 800-kilogram bomb penetrated the central protective steel plate of the Arizona, first detonating the black powder depot of the seaplane catapult, and then detonating the smokeless powder depot of the main turret.

This is a fatal blow.

With the loud noise, the [Arizona] suddenly jumped out of the water like weightlessness, and then smashed it back hard.

These two explosions could be heard by even the Japanese special mixed fleet, which was more than 160 kilometers away.

All the window glasses in Pearl Harbor were spared, and they were all shattered and filled the ground.

The flames rushing towards the sky were like burning a big gap into the sky. The hot waves ignited the sailors' clothes. Many people were knocked into the water by powerful shock waves. At this moment, waves in Pearl Harbor were surging, waves surging around, and many sailors who escaped from the water were slapped into the bottom of the water and could never float again.

The terror caused by these two explosions is several times more powerful than the volcanic explosion. The eardrums of crew members on many nearby ships were pierced by the sound of explosions, and their ears were bleeding. Many people on the [Arizona] were shocked and bleeding from their mouths and noses. They were severely injured. Some fell to the ground and coma, and some vomited blood.

The black and red clouds of smoke were like the ten thousand-year-old devil released from the bottle, raging the fire column that was burning for more than 2,000 meters. Several anti-aircraft guns were blown to splash everywhere, and the barrels were shaken into twists by the shock waves, smashing several ships.

[Arizona] Jumped up and then suddenly smashed back to the water surface. The huge waves instantly surrounded it and swallowed it. A few seconds later, the sea water retreated from the ship. Suddenly, a raging fire engulfed the giant ship.

Then, three torpedoes released by the torpedo plane arrived again and hit the ship's side one after another, and violent explosions occurred again.

After being hit hard, the giant ship was trembling all over, as if wailing. At the same time, Kimmel was also wailing. His heart seemed to be burned by a cigarette butt, and he staggered. Fortunately, he was supported and did not fall down. Then he struggled to push the person who helped him away, his face as if dead, staring at the [Arizona], but he could no longer see anyone escape from the bottom of the bilge.

Kimmel's hands trembled: "God, save them..."

Immediately afterwards, three more bombs hit the burning Arizona.

The explosion continued. The battleship [Arizona] was like a dying giant, tilting slowly, half of the ship's side sank into the water, and the other side was upturned, the huge propeller exposed to the water, turning rapidly, making a "whimper" sound, like playing the final farewell song for more than 800 people who could not escape from the bilge.

The sea water violently poured into the wound on the side of the ship [Arizona] ship. The warships sink faster. The sailors who were overturned on the deck had no time or opportunity to save more than 800 people at the bottom of the ship. Because the explosion had completely melted the crew passages together, the red steel soaked in the sea water, and emitted "sizzling" white smoke bubbling towards the water surface, cutting off the last hope of the sailors at the bottom of the bilge.

Lieutenant Colonel Samufuko ordered the abandonment of the ship, and the rescue personnel had done their best.

So the crew retreated to the battleship of the Nevada.

The sailors on the Nevada were put down the ladder and rescued the crew of the Arizona.

At this time, the last 800 crew members who had not escaped felt the sea water pressing their only remaining oxygen and slowly sank into the bottom of the water...

[Arizona] is like a big bowl, most of which sinks into the bottom of the water, leaving only a small part of it burning on the water surface, and the thick smoke soars into the sky for thousands of meters!

When the [Arizona] sank into the sea, the hearts of all Americans were suddenly pulled up. They knew that with the warship, there were more than 800 people waiting for rescue.

Hearing the sound of an explosion that was ruining the world from [Arizona], Zhou Zhihan turned around and saw the giant ship sinking, and his heart was convulsed. He didn't expect that as soon as he left, the giant ship came to an end at the wheel of history.

This scene, like the eight hundred warriors in the Sixing Warehouse, made him cry.

[Arizona] and [Nevada] are anchored side by side.

At this time, fuel flowing from the hull of [Arizona] is ignited with the fire, seriously threatening [Nevada].

In fact, when the [Arizona] was hit by a critical strike, the [Nevada], which was hit by several bombs, had been trying to escape, but was blocked. Now the former sank, and a waterway dozens of meters wide flashed out on the side.

So, the wounded battleship of the battleship of the Nevada began to break through. The sailors on the ship and the sailors who escaped from the Arizona were commanded by the commanders of Colonel Frances Toms and Lieutenant Colonel Samui Ferco, activated the anti-aircraft artillery on the ship and launched a fierce counterattack at the bombers in the air.

The machine gunners on both sides of the ship were on high alert, and the sailors held rifles to assist in defense, staring at both sides to prevent the Japanese torpedo planes and the remaining people from extinguishing the revived fire.

Survivors on the warships around them saw the Nevada breaking out and asked for help, but were pulled onto the ship by soldiers on the ship.

Colonel Thoms knew that it was not easy to bypass the purgatory [Arizona]. If the giant ship exploded again, the [Nevada] that happened to pass by would be crushed to pieces.

Knowing that the breakout was dangerous, the [Nevada] had no other choice. He stayed there and had no way to survive. The port side of the bow of the ship was affected by torpedoes, and a big hole was cracked. Fortunately, Colonel Toms was well-instructed, and all officers and soldiers actively rescued the ship, organized forces to prevent air defense, and implemented anti-capsulation and water irrigation to maintain the stability of the ship.

Colonel Thoms calmed down and commanded the battleship to slowly bypass the Arizona. At this moment, a terrible scene happened.

It turned out that a bowl-thick iron chain tied to the tail of the [Nevada] was still tied to the dock and was not removed. Suddenly, the [Nevada] was hovering seven or eight meters beside the burning [Arizona], and the situation made everyone frightened.

Since the [Nevada] was also attacked with scars, a big hole was blown out of the stern of the ship. The iron chain tied to the stern was sunk in the water, and no one was found...

At the critical moment, sailor Edwin Hill jumped into the burning water regardless of his own, dived into the bottom of the water and headed to the dock, took off the rope, and then slowly slid outward.

At this time, Edwin Hill, who could have escaped, did not abandon the warship he loved to escape alone. He jumped into the water and swam towards his warship. Suddenly, the [Arizona] sank again, and a huge vortex engulfed Edwin Hill...

[Nevada] finally bypassed the death-like [Arizona] and accelerated to break out of Pearl Harbor, turning the burning [Arizona] into the background.

When the [Nevada] successfully entered the waterway from the dangerous waterway proudly from the waterway outside Pearl Harbor, it immediately brought unparalleled spiritual encouragement to the nearly 10,000 American officers and soldiers on the scene. Several warships followed and broke out, while weaving defensive artillery fire.

However, the [Nevada] still has a long way to go to take everyone out of Pearl Harbor to escape. The warships not only have to avoid enemy aircraft in the air, but also because the most dangerous part is ahead - passing through the narrow waterway in front of the Navy Shipyard.

The waterway in front of the shipyard was covered with dirty oil, and a sunken torpedo boat burned upwards. The fire made the steel burst out with "crackling" sounds. Only God knew whether the eight torpedoes it carried would be detonated by its own fire.

[Nevada] There is no way out, so you can only move forward. The Japanese in the air have found it fleeing to the port, and the bombers are rushing towards you like a group of flies.

At this moment, the battleship [Oklahoma], which was first attacked by the Japanese, also wailed before its death.

Time returns to the beginning of the offensive.

As the captain of the Japanese torpedo aircraft, Goto was under the commander of the [Kaga]. After the battle started, he recognized the [Oklahoma] battleship in the air at a glance.

He had fought this giant ship in his dream because all the pilots who participated in this sneak attack had to remember the appearance and names of all the American warships in Pearl Harbor every day.
