How many planes have been shot down yet?
The attack force was almost completely annihilated after contact with the enemy's new fighter jets.
The surviving planes were badly damaged and their engines were roaring desperately to reach the mother ship as quickly as possible.
However, there was no way the enemy's fighter squadrons would survive the attack...
- Comet Squadron Captain's Machine -
"This is Comet No. 1. Someone please respond! This is Comet No. 1. Someone please respond!!"
No one responded to my desperate calls, and when I looked around, all I could see was the blue sky and waters of the Pacific Ocean.
However, the ace, who had survived many battlefields since Pearl Harbor, was heading towards the aircraft carrier in the shortest possible distance in order to return to his mother ship.
Red smoke is emitted from both wings to help the aircraft's mother ship and other aircraft spot it.
There is also a higher chance of being spotted by the enemy, but at that point you have no choice but to leave it to the gun turret.
Thud thud!!
Suddenly, there was a static sound from the radio.
If you listen carefully and carefully.
"This is the bridge of the aircraft carrier Musashi. We've spotted your aircraft on the radar. Continue straight ahead for 40 kilometers."
It was a communication from the mother ship.
I was saved.
Just as I was thinking that, something happened.
"Captain! There are two enemy planes behind us! They're coming towards us!"
That was more than enough news to drive the pilot to despair.
"Just hold on for another 40 kilometers! Keep firing until you're out of bullets!"
The steady sound of machine gun fire can be heard from behind.
My hands were sweating as I gripped the controls, and I pushed the throttle bar so hard the engine was screaming.
Despite the valiant efforts of the rear machine gun, the enemy plane did not fall even after being hit by a 7mm bullet.
When we were within about two kilometers of each other, the enemy opened fire.
Bullets fired from all six gun barrels, piercing the rear machine gunner.
The rear gun turret was stained red with blood, but no shots were fired from the gun.
The enemy plane circled and got right behind us.
In this situation, the only option was to take advantage of the aircraft's maneuverability and engage in a dogfight using the forward-mounted machine gun.
Next moment.
The enemy plane exploded into pieces.
I turned around in a panic and saw a Zero fighter with holes in its fuselage plummeting, firing its prized 20mm machine gun at the enemy plane.
The enemy planes were blown away into the Pacific Ocean before anyone could comprehend what had happened in an instant.
Now that the air force had been dealt a major blow, the Yamato and a group of battleships were preparing to seize control of the seas off the coast of Hawaii in a fleet battle...
