"Long-term martial luck" is the Japanese soldier's favorite four-character mantra, because Japan's modern rise really has some luck components, the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Victory of the Japanese really has a bit of the meaning of the blessing of the god of Amaterasu, whether it is a sneak attack or a fierce battle, there are always lucky events. However, if you walk more at night, you will always encounter ghosts, fight more battles, and naturally you will encounter poor luck, and Japan's three aircraft carriers will die very depressed because of the loss of military transport.
The three unfortunate carriers were the Soryu, Akagi, and Shinano, and their sinking made many people in the Japanese army doubt their lives. Both the Soryu and Akagi were sunk at the Battle of Midway and were the unluckiest of the day's battles. When the Kaga was attacked, the Soryu released its Own Zero fighter, allowing it to chase the torpedo bombers of the US VT-3 Squadron to grab the head, but did not think that it had become the target of the US fighters' fire collection. In just one minute, the "Soryu" was hit several times by the US military. The U.S. military first threw the 1,000-pound war "rugby ball" near the Starboard Battery No. 1 of the "Soryu", destroying the Soryu's Type 94 guide, "blinding" the ship's 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, destroying 8 25 mm anti-aircraft guns, and directly destroying the Soryu's defense capabilities.
Then the commander of the third detachment of the US army, Shamwe, threw a bomb directly into the hangar of the Canglong, exploded in the hangar, destroyed a large number of 99 ship explosion aircraft, destroyed the steam pipes in the boiler room of the "Canglong", and stopped the power system of the Canglong. The third Bombshell of the U.S. Army was dropped by Captain Boltonley, the commander of the Third Detachment, and also blew through the flight deck of the stern of the "Soryu", forming a second large explosion in the Japanese hangar, destroying many 97 ship attack aircraft in the hangar.
The Canglong suffered a devastating blow from the US military in a little more than a minute, which made Nanyun Zhongyi, who was watching from the sidelines, sigh. Nanun Tadaichi's sigh was not over, and his Akagi was also hit by the American army, and the Akagi was beaten even worse. At 10:25 on the same day, the Zero fighter on the "Akagi" who had just prepared to release Kimura was "besieged" by three fighters from Best and others.
The first bomb was dropped by Best's wingman, which exploded near the bow of the Akagi, only 5 to 10 meters from the starboard side of the Akagi. Best's second bomb dropped the 1,000-pound bomb directly near the elevator, which penetrated the flight deck and exploded inside the hangar where the attack aircraft of the 97 ship were parked, and ko Akagi with one blow. The third bomb dropped by the Best Detachment hit the stern of the Akagi, but fell into the sea against the flight deck. The Akagi was regarded by the Japanese Combined Fleet as the most powerful and successful aircraft carrier, but it was sent away by a bomb from Best, and its luck was not generally bad.
The Soryu and Akagi have also had military achievements, and they have been in the Pacific Battlefield, and the Shinano is the king of the decline of the Japanese Navy. With a displacement of 71,890 tons, Shinano is the largest carrier in the Japanese Combined Fleet and has dominated the world's number one aircraft carrier for a decade (it was the largest aircraft carrier in the world before the launch of the first Forrest-class carrier in the United States in 1954), but the Japanese always seem to have forgotten about it and are obsessed with its sister ship, the Yamato(Shinano was a converted Yamato-class battleship).
This may be that it is too much back, point back to the Japanese are taboo. Shinano was launched on 8 October 1944 and completed on 19 November, but was sunk on the night of 28 November. At that time, there were 2,475 people on the ship, including a crew of 2,175 officers and men, as well as about 300 shipyard workers, and the entire warship had not yet been tested for sea, there were no aircraft on board, only 50 "Sakura" suicide bombs and 6 "Zhenyang" suicide speedboats, and its mission was to send these suicide weapons to Okinawa.
At about 10:45 p.m. that night, the Shinano encountered the U.S. submarine U.S. submarine U.S. WaterFish. The commander of the Water Fish submarine, Enright, is not a master like Best, and has participated in many battles, but almost always plays soy sauce. After shinano spotted the submarine Izumi, she quickly ordered the destroyer Isokaze to escort it. The Destroyer Isokaze rushed toward the Sakai, and after only a slight look, returned to its original position on the right side of the Shinano. For more than three hours, shinano was escorted by three destroyers, and its speed was 25 knots, 7 knots higher than the maximum speed of the water fish, which can be said to be "the advantage over me", leaving the water fish far behind. Unfortunately, at dawn, the Shinano actually had a power failure, and the speed dropped to 15 knots, and it was actually caught up by the Shooting Water Fish.
The Shooting Fish was so excited that she hurried to the rear for help, asking seven other American submarines to help her. The telegram from the Waterfish was not adopted by the Headquarters at Pearl Harbor, because the U.S. military did not know of the existence of the Shinano at the time, and did not reply to him, but frightened the Shinano, because the Shinano cracked the telegram. The Shinano hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and rushed directly to the wheelhouse of the "Shooting Fish", eager to send the head itself, leaving the words "The distance is rapidly shortening, we are in front of it" on the log of the Shooting Fish.
The Shinano was going to take the initiative to die, and the shooting fish was not polite. When the distance between the two sides was shortened to 12,000 yards, the WaterFish dived, and when the distance between the front flank was 1,000 yards to 2,000 yards, the Water Fish began to prepare for the torpedo. When the distance between the two ships was 1400 yards, the Water Fish fired a full six torpedoes in one go, sending the death-threatening Shinano to hell.
Since the rise of modern times, Japan has always been militaristic and the most vicious empire. During World War II, it fed nearly 3 million tons of navy with an annual output of more than 7 million tons of steel, and at the same time fought against China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and even if it was a god of gambling, it could not have good luck at all times. After the combined fleet of the Akagi led the combined fleet to destroy the main force of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and sink the British Navy's 130,000-ton ships in the Indian Ocean, the Japanese Navy's luck was already exhausted, and the encounter of the three aircraft carriers was to pay off the debts of the previous poor soldiers.
