The aircraft carrier enterprise, riding the wind and waves, is sailing at sea.

This warship is quite glorious. In history, in the glorious life of the enterprise, it sailed 442475 kilometers, sank 71 enemy ships, injured 192 and shot down 911 enemy aircraft. No warship in the U.S. Navy can compare with it. The enterprise symbolizes the fighting spirit of the U.S. Navy.

At the same time, the warship was only put into service in 38 years. It is a relatively new aircraft carrier. Due to the deterioration of the situation in the Western Pacific, it was deployed to the Pacific at the end of last year.

Now, the mission of the enterprise makes the sailors have little passion.

Due to the deterioration of the situation in the Pacific and the possibility of conflicts with island countries, the enterprise began to travel between Pearl Harbor and the west coast of the United States in accordance with President Roosevelt's order, transporting P-39 flying snake fighters and P-40 Tomahawk fighters of the army aviation force, as well as a large number of troops and arms.

In other words, the US Navy's famous aircraft carrier was actually used to carry out the task of sea jeeps!

In the process of returning to the United States, the deck is still empty, and when you come back, the deck of the whole aircraft carrier will be densely covered with fighters.

Regardless of the take-off and landing of aircraft on the aircraft carrier, hundreds of fighters can be loaded on the flight deck alone. It can be said that the aircraft carrier is really suitable for transporting aircraft.

However, no one likes it. It is clearly a combat ship, but it is used to carry out this kind of transportation mission!

On the bridge, the captain, Colonel Charles A. Bonner, also had a doubt.

According to the plan, they will not set sail until next week after Sunday. After all, the sea trip is too boring.

But now, they set out a few days in advance, so they can only spend the weekend at sea. There are no beaches, no beautiful women, only the endless sea.

The sky is good. It's a good weather for sailing.

"Would you like a glass of juice?" His rear, chief officer Thomas Hamilton asked.

He had two glasses of juice in his hand.

Charles took the juice and just put it to his mouth, he heard a sharp alarm.

"What's going on?" He was splashed with half the juice on his face and shouted loudly. Then someone hurried to report: "dive bomber, our lookout post, found the dive bomber in the sky!"

Dive bomber? When he heard the news, instinctively, Charles wanted to say that today is not April Fool's Day!

But when he looked up, he looked out the bridge window and saw a bomber with inverted seagull wings diving towards his warship.

"Damn it, it's Stuka!" Charles shouted, "the Germans are at war with us!"

In the consciousness of the U.S. Navy, Germany is their biggest enemy. Some time ago, they were still searching for traces of German submarines on the sea. Now, after visually identifying the model, Charles made a judgment, although at this time, he still had countless doubts in his mind.

It's not junker-290, but Stuka. The range of this aircraft is extremely limited. How did it fly here? Is it the German aircraft carrier coming?

How is that possible! The German aircraft carrier, circling more than half the earth, ran to the Pacific Ocean? If they dare to come, they will never go back!

However, he had no time to think about this. The well-trained crew played a decisive role at this time.

In this era, battleships with huge caliber artillery have always been the mainstream of the Navy. Compared with charismatic battleships, aircraft carriers are like poor street beggars. In their eyes, the aircraft carrier is a "big bathtub covered with the barn door". Aircraft carrier officers are "brown boot navy", and ordinary sailors are called "flat top sailors".

However, the sailors on the enterprise, under Charles's men, were strict with themselves. Their training was the hardest. At this time, their training played a role.

The lookout was loyal to his duty. When he saw Stuka diving from the clouds, he immediately gave an alarm. After the whole ship sounded the air defense alarm, the anti-aircraft gunner quickly ran to his gun position.

The main anti-aircraft weapons of enterprise are 1.1-inch caliber anti-aircraft guns and 5-inch / 38 diameter anti-aircraft guns. These anti-aircraft guns rang out in tens of seconds.

"Boom, boom, boom!" One by one, anti-aircraft guns fired their own shells into the sky. Although this kind of anti-aircraft gun has a long range, its firing speed is too slow. In the view of pilots in the sky, there is not much threat.

The browning m2.50 caliber heavy machine guns, although with sufficient firepower and too little power, can drill a few small holes in the aircraft skin at most.

Kondo Saburo pushed the lever. He felt his bomber trembling more and more in the dive, and glanced at the speedometer with the rest of his eyes. At this time, the dive speed had exceeded 500 kilometers per hour, almost on the edge of losing control.

The whistle on the fixed landing gear screamed. In the scream, the target became bigger and bigger!

What Kondo Saburo aims at is not the middle section of the other party, but the rear section of the aircraft carrier. There is the position of the power cabin. Now, he is not sure how powerful the bomb he carries. He must attack in the most conservative way.

"Boom!" A shell almost flew by his plane. He didn't care. He continued to dive. As a soldier of the island country, at the moment, he was not afraid of death. He was only thinking about his goal!

Countless anti-aircraft guns were shooting at him, his fuselage continued to tremble, and more than a dozen small holes appeared in the wing, which was the firepower of the other party's anti-aircraft machine gun.

If it is a Zero fighter without any protection, even if it is hit by a 0.50 anti-aircraft machine gun bullet, it may be ignited, but Stuka, a solid dive bomber, has no impact at all.

Drop the bomb! Kondo Saburo pressed the button. At this time, the height was only 500 meters. With his bombing, he felt a tremor under the belly, and the whole Stuka was light.

Then a hot flame came into his eyes.

Pc1000rs, this number is complex. PC stands for anti armor projectile. The projectile wall is quite thick and the projectile body is made of high-quality steel, which is specially used to destroy enemy targets and permanent fortifications protected by heavy armor such as warships. The RS in the back means rocket boost. The extended tail is equipped with rocket propulsion device, which is only used in dive bombing.

Now, when the bomb is dropped, the rocket booster ignites correctly, pushing the warhead to speed up further! Speed is energy!
