Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

Just as the battleship Haruna was severely damaged, the cruiser Tama ran into big trouble. Several anti-aircraft gun groups on its starboard side suffered devastating blows.

In addition, the fire detonated some of the ammunition, and the entire starboard side was filled with smoke. The starboard side of the Tama cruiser fell into chaos. The huge impact force generated by the explosion caused the hull to shake and debris to fly everywhere.

The raging fire burned fiercely and thick smoke rose, quickly obscuring the view of several anti-aircraft gun positions.

In the thick smoke, the gunners struggled to find their target, but their obstructed vision made it difficult for them to aim at the incoming enemy planes.

Two torpedo bombers took the opportunity to dive rapidly. They flexibly shuttled through the thick smoke, looking for the weaknesses of the Tama cruiser.

The soldiers on the cruiser were in a panic, shouting and sirens intertwined. The captain urgently directed the crew to extinguish the fire and defend, but the chaotic situation greatly hindered their efforts.

The torpedo bombers were gradually approaching, aiming at the Tama cruiser like hungry falcons.

"Torpedoes, torpedoes! Two torpedoes appear on the starboard side!" The torpedoes were not discovered until they approached the Tama to within a few dozen meters. The observation post, whose vision was severely obstructed by the thick smoke, discovered them.

The heart-wrenching shouts scared the firefighters who were trying to put out the fire so much that they all dropped the pipes in their hands and ran away!

With two huge explosions of "boom boom", the torpedo entered the water, raising a huge column of water. The entire hull of the Tama cruiser was blown out of the water by the powerful explosion force, and then fell heavily again.

The hull of the Tama cruiser was severely damaged, and within a few seconds the ship began to tilt noticeably, and the tilt was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fragments from the explosion even hit the Yukikaze, which was desperately returning to try to rescue the flagship Haruna battleship, which had suffered severe damage to its bow, more than 600 meters away.

But just as the Haruna was severely damaged, the Tama on this side suffered even more fatal damage, and crackling sounds came into their ears.

Lieutenant Commander Ryokichi Sugama saw the miserable appearance of the Tama cruiser, which was only five or six hundred meters away from his destroyer.

Ryokichi Suga knew that the cruiser could not be saved. Two torpedoes exploded, tearing two holes more than three meters in size on the right side of the hull.

Crucially, one of the missiles hit the boiler room, and the powerful explosion destroyed the entire battleship's power system.

A large amount of seawater continued to pour in, and the hull had tilted nearly 15 degrees, but their tragic fate was not over yet.

The vultures flying in the air slowly stopped when they saw the Tama cruiser was seriously injured and its hull was obviously tilted.

As if a cat saw a mouse, they began to surround it. It's not every day that you beat a drowning dog.

Several Grumman TB F Avenger torpedo bombers, like sharks smelling blood, adjusted their flying attitudes and dropped belly-mounted torpedoes towards the battleship, which had slowly stopped and was tilted by thick smoke.

Two more torpedoes were rapidly approaching the Tama cruiser that was trapped in a desperate situation. Standing on the Haruna battleship, Sakamoto looked at the Tama, which was protected by a raging fire, in the distance with trembling hands.

The enemy planes used the cover of smoke to inflict a fatal blow to the Tama cruiser.

The entire battlefield was filled with tension and danger, and the balance of victory and defeat seemed to have completely tilted.

"Boom boom" two earth-shattering explosions were heard again, and the Tama, which was stationary in the same place, was hit by two torpedoes again.

These two huge explosions completely sent the Tama to the bottom of the sea, and the same side of the ship was attacked by four torpedoes in succession.

Although it is not a heavy torpedo launched by a battleship, it is also a famous Mark 15 aviation torpedo (this is not a fake Mark 13 aviation torpedo that explodes only once out of a dozen).

One of these 450mm aerial torpedoes is enough to deal a heavy battleship a heavy blow. Even a Yamato battleship would be destroyed if it were hit by four of them.

Now it was the Tama cruiser with a displacement of only 5000 tons. The first two torpedoes killed it, but it did not sink immediately.

Now two more Mark 15 aerial torpedoes came, which directly cut the Tama in half and quickly began to sink into the sea.

Hundreds of Japanese sailors on the Tama battleship jumped into the water and swam to the periphery, but in their current situation, no one had time to rescue them from the water.

Nobue Morishita stood on the highest observation deck of the Haruna and saw the Tama cruiser sinking rapidly.

Then he looked at the battleship Haruna under his feet. There was a fire and thick smoke at the bow, and a large number of sailors were holding water pipes and using seawater to try to extinguish the fire at the bow.

Now that the Tama has sunk, a huge hole has been torn in the defense line that was originally able to hold out.

The destroyer Harushao on the other side was also targeted by two Hellcats. Three of the six rockets fired by one of the Hellcats hit the Harushao.

At the same time, its machine guns were raging on the Harusho desperately. There was a bloody storm on several gun positions, and a large number of Japanese sailors were torn to pieces by 20mm shells and 12.7mm Browning heavy machine gun bullets.

Just as the Haruchao was firing desperately in an attempt to drive away another Hellcat, another Hellcat flew out from somewhere and suddenly appeared behind the Haruchao.

It quickly passed the Harusho, but this fighter did not have the six rockets mounted under its belly.

It was a 500-kg aerial bomb. Just as it flew over the head of the Japanese ship Harusho, it dropped the 500-kg aerial bomb quietly.

"Full right rudder!" the captain of the Chunchao shouted immediately.

The first mate was operating the warship personally, and after receiving the captain's order, he immediately began to turn the rudder to the right, but this time their reaction was a little slow.

The entire battleship Harushao almost completely avoided the aerial bomb, but its stern, due to the final turn, still caught the 500-kilogram bomb steadily.

A huge fireball enveloped the entire stern deck of the Harushao. A 20mm anti-aircraft gun and a 75mm rapid-fire gun at the stern were also sent to the sea surface more than 30 meters away from the battleship by the explosion.

The explosion completely destroyed the structure of the stern of the ship, and the rudder and propeller were almost immediately devastated.

Just after the huge explosion at the stern of the Harusho, the left and right sides were hit by 12 rockets under the bellies of two Hellcats.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" rockets flew out, and then balls of fire exploded on the destroyer Chunchao. The destroyer had a broken rudder and one of its propellers was broken.

Now it has begun to circle above the sea, and just when everyone's attention is once again attracted by the spring tide.

Once again, a deafening explosion was heard from the rear of the fleet. Sakamoto once again ran out of the battleship's command room and looked rearward.

The two supply ships that had been following the fleet were now engulfed in fire and thick smoke. It seemed that the Chinese had already overtaken them.

They were determined to not let any of them go and were thinking of sinking his entire small fleet. Sakamoto's body was shaking like a sieve.

He no longer wanted to think about why the Crown Prince wanted revenge. Now he just wanted to pray that the battleship under his feet would not be attacked again.

But things often go against one's will. After losing a cruiser and a destroyer at once, they probably couldn't hold on with the two supply ships behind them.

The bomber and fighter pilots in the sky who had not yet completed their bombing and attack missions threw the remaining bombs and torpedoes at the battleship Haruna.
