Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar Chapter 1046

On the Kii battleship, the flagship of the Japanese Imperial Navy Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander of the Combined Fleet, had a gloomy face as if water could drip out of it.

The carrier-based aircraft of the Russian Empire Navy were launching a fierce attack on their fleet.

One after another, dive bombers were diving and dropping bombs, smashing heavy aerial armor-piercing bombs at their warships. There were also torpedo attack aircraft flying close to the sea surface, launching heavy aerial torpedoes after approaching the warships.

And those carrier-based fighters were frantically attacking the anti-aircraft positions on the warships, suppressing the anti-aircraft firepower on the warships.

Facing the fierce attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Russian Empire Navy, even these main battleships of the Japanese Empire Navy were protected by cruisers and destroyers. However, they still couldn’t resist!

Especially because the Russian Empire Navy focused its attack on them, it made the Japanese very aggrieved.

"Damn Russians, the Lighthouse people have more warships and larger tonnage! But why do they only attack us? 03" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was very annoyed.

Although the Lighthouse people are their allies. However, at this moment, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto can no longer care about so much.

If the carrier-based aircraft group of the Russian Empire Navy focuses on attacking the fleet of the Lighthouse Navy. Then, they may survive.

After all, it is not so easy to sink a large battleship. Even if the Russian Empire Navy dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft, the bombs and torpedoes they carried were also limited. If the Lighthouse people suffered more bombs and torpedoes, then the Japanese would naturally suffer fewer bombs and torpedoes.

But unfortunately, the carrier-based aircraft group of the Russian Empire Navy actually prioritized their targets on them.

"Commander, the Russians’ offensive is very fierce, and we have already had several warships damaged." Major General Ito Seiichi, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, reported.

This made Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s face even uglier.

The shipbuilding concept of the Japanese Empire Navy was inherited from the British Empire. Even in the last world war, it was proved that the shipbuilding concept of the British Empire had great problems. Over-emphasizing the firepower and speed of warships and neglecting defense would make the survivability of warships worrying.

But even so, the shipbuilding concept of the Japanese is still the same. As a result, the defense of the main battleships of the Japanese is relatively weak. When they were fiercely attacked by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Russian Empire Navy, these weaknesses were naturally exposed.

"Order all ships to resist the Russian attacks with all their strength and ensure the safety of our fleet!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto ordered.

But at this moment, such an order may not have any effect at all.

Or, in other words, it has no meaning at all in changing the current situation.

The Russian Empire Navy’s carrier-based aircraft groups, almost in squadrons, surrounded the Japanese fighters.The battleships launched an attack.

The battleships Kaga, Tosa, Amagi, Akagi and Atago became the first targets to be attacked.

Even though these battleships had powerful anti-aircraft firepower, they caused considerable damage to the carrier-based aircraft of the Russian Empire Navy. However, under the attack of heavy aerial bombs and heavy aerial torpedoes, these battleships have all been damaged.

"Boom!"

A heavy aerial armor-piercing bomb weighing 500 kilograms penetrated the rear deck armor of the Amagi battlecruiser.

The bomb exploded directly inside the battleship, destroying the battleship’s transmission shaft.

The speed of the Amagi battlecruiser suddenly began to drop sharply.

When the battleship was besieged by a large number of enemy carrier-based aircraft, it would undoubtedly be very dangerous if it lost its speed. This means that the battleship will be more likely to be hit.

The sailors on the Amagi battlecruiser also realized this and fired back with anti-aircraft guns frantically. The escorting warships were also desperately firing into the sky. But even so, they could not change their fate of being hit again.

One after another, heavy aerial bombs hit the Amagi battlecruiser, and violent explosions continued to sound, causing this huge battleship to burn like a torch.

One after another, heavy aerial armor-piercing shells hit the side of the Amagi battlecruiser fiercely. The torpedo warhead exploded, and the huge power instantly tore open the waterline armor, and blew large holes on the side of the Amagi battlecruiser. Seawater rushed into the Amagi battlecruiser frantically along these large holes. Even if the Japanese urgently closed the watertight compartments, it was useless. Because the Amagi battlecruiser was hit by too many torpedoes, causing too much water to enter, and even the hull had tilted.

"Commander, the Amagi has been severely damaged and is about to collapse!" Major General Ito Seiichi reported nervously.

At this moment, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet, has closed his eyes in pain. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

At this moment, the Amagi battlecruiser looks like a wild bull that has been hunted by 250 people. Even if it is still struggling desperately, it is useless.

It can be said that under the siege of the Russian carrier-based aircraft, the Amagi battlecruiser has reached the end of its life.

"The battleship is really outdated. Under the attack of the carrier-based aircraft, it has no power to fight back!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sighed.

Now, he may understand this truth and become a firm aircraft carrier faction.

But unfortunately, it is too late!

The Eastern Empire Navy also spent a huge amount of money to build a large number of battleships. Even in their shipyards, there are four larger Yamato-class battleships being built overtime.
The cost of a battleship is much more expensive than that of an aircraft carrier.

If the Eastern Empire Navy could realize this earlier, perhaps they could have invested all their precious resources in the construction of aircraft carriers. Perhaps, the current Eastern Empire Navy would be completely different, and they would be more powerful. They would not be so passive in this war.

But it is too late to say this now.

The Easterners will pay a heavy price for their mistakes! .
