Jagged Germany-Chapter 1772: fight back
"Your Excellency, Marshal, the islanders are coming in menacingly! The island fleet detected by the air search radar has more than 400 carrier-based aircraft!" Lieutenant General George Friedberg said.
"More than four hundred? So what? After being intercepted by the carrier-based fighter jets of the Imperial Navy, how many can be left? Order the fleet and switch to air defense formation!" Marshal Rolf Kars ordered.
Lieutenant General George Friedberg nodded again and again. He also believed that after the interception by the German Navy's air defense fighter jets, there would not be many carrier-based aircraft left in the island navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet. The German Navy's fleet anti-aircraft firepower is enough to shoot down the carrier-based aircraft of the island navy. Moreover, the German Navy has made breakthroughs in air defense weapons. The shells of the 105mm and 88mm anti-aircraft guns have been replaced with proximity fuzes. This further enhanced the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower. 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns cannot be replaced with proximity fuzes because the shells are too small. However, with the continuous advancement of technology, the shells of these two anti-aircraft guns will soon be replaced with proximity fuzes. In this case, the anti-aircraft firepower of the German fleet can be further improved. It is even more impossible for the enemy's carrier-based aircraft to break through the air defense firepower of the German fleet and attack the German fleet.
"Our reconnaissance plane, haven't found the fleet of the islanders?" Marshal Rolf Karls asked.
Compared to the upcoming large-scale air battle between the two navies, he cares more about this. Only when the fleet of the island navy is discovered, can the German fleet be able to take off carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack.
"Your Excellency Marshal, I haven't found it yet."
"Then expand the scope of the search. No matter what, the island fleet must be found. Otherwise, once we get rid of their carrier-based aircraft, the island fleet will have to flee."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!"
Under the guidance of the air search radar, the carrier-based fighter jets of the German Navy killed the carrier-based aircraft group of the island navy.
Although the 270 carrier-based FW-190 fighters are much smaller than the scale of more than 450 carrier-based aircraft of the island navy. However, only one-third of the island navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet is fighter jets, and the rest are bomber and attack aircraft. In front of the German Navy's carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets, these bombers and attack planes can only be slaughtered. Even the Zero fighters of the island navy are no match for the German Navy's carrier-based FW-190 fighters.
"Attention all squadrons, we are not far from the German fleet, and focus on searching the east and southeast waters. After discovering the German fleet, launch an attack immediately!" the commander of the island navy ordered. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
"Hi, sir!" The squadron leaders of each squadron replied.
Because they don't know the exact location of the German fleet, they need to search first, and then launch an attack after discovering the location of the German fleet.
It's just that the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the navy of the island country has no chance. Because, the carrier-based fighter group of the German Navy has already been killed.
"Discover the island navy's carrier-based aircraft group, attack, and kill them!" The commander of the German carrier-based fighter group issued an order.
"Yes, sir!"
Many German carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets dived down from high altitude on both sides, attacking the huge carrier-based aircraft group of the island navy.
"Boom boom boom!"
The machine guns began to howl, and one by one 20mm machine gun shells or 30mm machine gun shells flew towards the carrier-based fleet of the island navy.
The explosion sounded, and for a while, a large number of carrier-based aircraft of the navy of the island country were torn into pieces and fell to the ground.
"Bastard, the Germans are here, ready to fight. The fighter jets drag the German fighter jets, and the bombers and attack planes break through! The German fleet is not far away." The commander of the island navy's carrier air group shouted loudly road.
The sudden attack of the German army caused them to lose dozens of carrier-based aircraft. If they come a few more times, their seemingly huge carrier-based aircraft fleet will be lost soon. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
A large-scale air battle was launched, and the German carrier-based aircraft group launched a fierce attack on the island navy's carrier-based aircraft group. Although the zero-type fighters of the island navy had very good low-altitude combat performance, the German carrier-based fighters did not fight them at all. Instead, they used their own advantages to attack from a high altitude, then climbed up, returned to the high altitude, and prepared for a second attack. second attack. Under this kind of tactical attack by the German navy, the fighter planes of the Japanese navy were continuously shot down.
Especially those bombardment and attack aircraft carrying heavy aviation combat and heavy aviation torpedoes cannot avoid it.
In the air battle, a large number of fighters were shot down. However, most of the fighters shot down were carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese navy. The carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy were shot down relatively much less.
After the United Fleet took off the first wave of aircraft, the second wave of aircraft took off soon. General Yamamoto Fifty-Six hopes to defeat the German Navy in one fell swoop with two fleets with short intervals between the two waves.
It's just that he didn't know that their first wave of fleet had been intercepted by the German Navy, and the loss of the fleet was very large.
The air battle lasted for 20 minutes, and the island navy's huge fleet of more than 450 carrier-based aircraft suffered great losses. Eighty percent of the carrier-based aircraft were sunk, and among the remaining dozens of carrier-based aircraft, there were mainly Zero fighters, and the number of bombers and attack aircraft was very small. They launched an attack on the German Navy's fleet, but were torn to pieces by the German Navy's fleet anti-aircraft fire, causing little loss to the German Navy.
When the second wave of the island navy's fleet arrived, the German Navy also took off the remaining half of its carrier-based fighter jets to meet the enemy. The first batch of carrier-based aircraft to take off returned to the voyage one after another, and began to refuel the fighter planes and add ammunition.
At this time, a reconnaissance plane of the German Navy discovered the traces of the island navy combined fleet. Although it was finally shot down by the air defense fighter jets of the island navy. However, they successfully reported the location of the joint fleet to the flagship.
"Your Excellency, the Marshal, we have discovered the location of the island nation's combined fleet, about 450 kilometers away from us!" Lieutenant General George Friedberg reported.
"Very well, order the fleet to turn west. The carrier-based aircraft is ready to take off in 20 minutes!" Marshal Rolf Karls ordered.
At this moment, the battle between the island navy's second wave of carrier-based aircraft fleet and the German Navy's second batch of air defense fighters has begun. However, the battle is still showing a one-sided situation. The German Navy's carrier-based fighter jets slaughtered the island navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet.
Soon, 16 aircraft carriers of the German Navy began to take off carrier-based aircraft, and these carrier-based aircraft will go to attack the combined fleet of the island navy.
