    Retreat?  It is impossible to retreat. It is impossible for them to retreat in this life!

    The scale of more than two hundred torpedo planes and dive bombers is no joke.

    As the largest battleship among the three battleships, Nagato had forty torpedo planes and more than thirty dive bombers targeting them.

    Battleships are different from aircraft carriers. You can¡¯t tell the performance of an aircraft carrier from its size, just like the Essex-class aircraft carrier and the Akagi aircraft carrier, two aircraft carriers from different countries and different tonnages.

    The Essex-class aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier with good performance. Its full load displacement is more than 34,000 tons, and it can carry hundreds of aircraft to the maximum extent.

    The aircraft carrier Akagi has a full load displacement of more than 41,000 tons, but at its maximum, including spare aircraft, it can only carry a total of 91 aircraft.

    Therefore, the specific performance of an aircraft carrier cannot be seen by just looking at its appearance. Only by in-depth understanding of its specific data can we see it.

    But battleships are different. The performance and combat effectiveness of a battleship depend on its displacement, armor protection and main gun caliber.

    The armor protection of a battleship is proportional to its tonnage.  As for the caliber of his main naval gun, for amateurs or people who don't understand, they can't understand it, but for professionals, they can see the approximate caliber of this main naval gun and so on.

    Therefore, the larger the tonnage and the larger the battleship, the more powerful the combat effectiveness. Naturally, the Nagato battleship is the largest among the three battleships, and it has naturally become an attack target for torpedo planes and dive bombers.

    More than a dozen torpedo planes aimed at an opportunity and began to approach the Nagato battleship at a height of about a hundred meters above the sea level.

    And there were more than thirty dive bombers in the sky aiming at him, constantly attracting the air defense firepower from the Nagato and creating opportunities for the torpedo planes.

    "Bah~ Damn it! Order the anti-aircraft firepower to be fully activated. We must drive away these damn Chinese aircraft!"

    Hero Yano looked at the Chinese planes circling in the sky, his eyes were about to burst into flames. These planes kept dropping bombs on the Nagato battleship.

    "However, because the speed of the Nagato is not slow now, there are not many bombs that hit it. Only one or two bombs out of ten hit it.

    To put it bluntly, these pilots are not the elite pilots of Hainan Airlines. The elite pilots are all in the East China Sea Fleet, North Sea Fleet and Pacific Fleet.  They all boarded the aircraft carrier to fight.  Those are all flying geese who have had many actual combat experiences.

    These pilots were all trained later and lacked actual combat experience.

    However, this also successfully contained the anti-aircraft firepower on the Nagato battleship.  In the surrounding area, more than a dozen torpedo planes began to fly in a straight line in the distance. Their flight direction was exactly the sea area that the Nagato was about to enter.

    "put!"

    After a torpedo pilot saw that he had arrived at the predetermined location in his mind, he decisively pressed the launch button.

    A long torpedo fell into the sea from the belly of the aircraft, and then the propeller at the tail began to rotate rapidly, shooting away in a straight line into the distance, bringing up a long white wave line.

    Within the next few minutes, the other ten torpedo planes released torpedoes.

    More than ten torpedoes were launched from the left, right, left front, right front and other directions of the Nagato battleship.

    These torpedoes brought up more than a dozen long lines of white waves.

    "Torpedo! Torpedo! Avoid! Avoid!"

    When the observers on the Nagato saw more than a dozen torpedoes attacking from around them, their faces suddenly turned pale with fear.

    Once upon a time, battleships were the overlords of the ocean. The only thing that could threaten the safety of a battleship was the main naval gun that could penetrate its armor. He did not take any other small-caliber naval gun into consideration.

    Even battleships with small displacement and insufficient penetrating power of main naval gun shells are often ignored by him.

    " But there is one thing excepted, and that is torpedoes.

    Torpedoes can be said to be the nemesis of battleships, and in this world, only torpedoes can sink battleships quickly.

    Even a large battleship like the Nagato is afraid of torpedo attacks.

    So when more than a dozen torpedoes were fired towards the battleship Nagato, all the sailors on the Nagato were exclaimed.

    Hero Yano watched more than a dozen torpedoes attack, and a thin layer of coldness appeared on his forehead.sweat.

    There are so many torpedoes and they are so dense that it is impossible to avoid them all at once.

    The huge body of the Nagato began to move slowly, hoping to avoid as many torpedoes as possible.

    "It's just that some things cannot be changed by the will of the Neon Army. What should be bumped into will still be bumped into.

    "Boom~"

    The first torpedo hit the port side of the battleship Nagato hard.  A huge explosion came from the port side.

    The entire battleship was shaken by this.

    "Your Excellency, Colonel, there is water below the waterline on the port side, and a torpedo tore a hole more than two meters in diameter on the port side!"

    A second lieutenant ran over with his face full of water and shouted loudly.  There are all kinds of noisy sounds around. You don't need to yell, others can't hear you at all.

    "Eight~Gah~block it immediately!"

    Hero Yano shouted loudly, now the Nagato is suffering from the second major crisis since its service.

    More than forty torpedo planes are attacking, and more than a dozen torpedoes are threatening the life of the Nagato.

    If you don¡¯t block the hole at this time, it will be fun then.

    "Then the Nagato dragged its huge body and struggled to avoid torpedoes one after another.

    "Boom~"

    The second torpedo, this was the second torpedo that hit the Nagato.

    A torpedo hit the port side of the Nagato hard, and the port side again.

    A large gap appeared below the waterline, and seawater was pouring into the gap crazily.

    Hero Yano grabbed the armrest with difficulty.

    But before his body could stabilize, another torpedo hit the Nagato's hull hard.

    This time, Hero Yano did not hold on firmly, and his body suddenly hit the steel of the ship, and a trace of blood suddenly appeared on his forehead.

    Hero Yano himself also feels a headache, but he has no time to have a headache now.

    "Quick! Go and see how the rescue is going below? How is the damage to the battleship?"

    The first thing Hero Yano did when he stood up was to yell loudly.

    A few minutes later, a second lieutenant ran in, soaked to the skin.

    "Your Excellency, the second gap on the port side is too big. The battleship has been hit by torpedoes one after another. The gap cannot be blocked in a short time, and the speed is decreasing!"
