Chapter 1285 Discovery of the Island Country Aircraft Carrier

"Damn it, these islanders are all targeting us!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi's face became increasingly ugly.

The carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese navy continued to launch suicidal attacks on the battleship 'Crown Prince'. This posed a huge threat to the battleship Crown Prince.

Although the anti-aircraft fire on the "Crown Prince" battleship fired violently, the other cruisers and destroyers in the escort were also firing desperately. However, it is still impossible to completely intercept those crazy island country carrier-based aircraft. After all, the possibility of hitting directly by flying a plane is undoubtedly much higher than dropping a bomb. Especially those zero fighters, their speed is faster than the bomber and attack aircraft, and it is more difficult to defend.

Fortunately, the Zero fighters did not carry bombs, and only caused damage to the battleship 'Crown Prince' by detonating and burning their own aviation fuel. Such damage is undoubtedly much smaller than being hit by a bomb or torpedo.

However, if the island navy's carrier-based aircraft continue to attack like this, the damage of the battleship 'Crown Prince' will continue to increase. In that case, even if the battleship 'Crown Prince' would not be sunk, it would be unavoidable to be severely damaged.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and the rear deck of the battleship 'Crown Prince' was shrouded in smoke and flames.

"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard raised his heart into his throat.

"General, a dive bomber directly crashed into it. The No. 3 main turret was destroyed. At the same time, several cabins behind were also damaged to varying degrees." Major General Felix reported after understanding the situation.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant General Theodore Burchardy couldn't help cursing.

The damage caused by dive bombers is naturally much higher than that of fighter jets. In addition to the heavy bombs they carry, dive bombers also have a lot of fuel. These bombs exploded together with the fuel, which was very powerful.

"Nice job!" Yamanaka Ryutaro cheered when he saw such sobriety. At the same time, he is very proud. Even if the performance of the German Navy's aircraft is far superior to theirs, so what? The bravery of island country pilots is absolutely unmatched by German pilots. They are willing to give their lives for the country. And precisely because of this, Colonel Yamanaka Ryutaro confidently believed that the final victory of this war must belong to them. Because the island country has the bravest and most loyal officers and soldiers in the world!

If the number of carrier-based aircraft in the navy of the island country is a little more, it may really cause fatal damage to the German fleet. Under this crazy suicide attack by the island country's carrier-based aircraft, the battleship 'Crown Prince' has suffered heavy damage. Not only were two of the three main turrets damaged, but the superstructure also became riddled with holes and ignited a raging fire.

But fortunately, the carrier-based aircraft of the island navy were almost lost in the battle, leaving only the Zero fighter piloted by Yamanaka Ryutaro himself.

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard! The Empire onboard!"

Chief Ryutaro Yamanaka chanted slogans and drove the Zero fighter towards the battleship 'Crown Prince'. Moreover, his target was the bridge of the battleship Crown Prince. He wanted to get rid of the German generals in the bridge in one fell swoop. In that case, the navy of the island country can be regarded as a victory.

As the captain of the aviation team, Colonel Yamanaka Ryutaro's driving skills are indeed superb. Although the anti-aircraft fire was dense, he dodged them all one by one. He drove the plane and directly crashed into the command tower of the battleship 'Crown Prince'.

"Go to hell, German!" Yamanaka Ryutaro shouted. He chose this way to die heroically, as if he thought he could become a god because of it.

"boom!"

The Zero fighter crashed into the conning tower of the battleship 'Crown Prince'. However, he did not directly crash the command tower as Mr. Yamanaka Ryutaro expected.

The thick armor of the conning tower withstood the impact this time. After the explosion, of course, the faces of the German generals inside changed drastically, and many even fell down. But that's all. No further harm was done to them.

"Bastard! The damned islander wants to kill us all! He almost succeeded!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard was frightened for a while. He felt as if he was only one step away from hell just now, almost was killed. This made his vest wet with sweat.

"General, all the islanders' carrier-based aircraft have been eliminated." Major General Felix said.

Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi nodded, and they were finally safe for the time being this time.

"Continue to return to the voyage! The battleship 'Crown Prince' may have to go back to the Lion City for a few months this time." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy said a little speechlessly.

The battleship 'Crown Prince' had to be repaired, which left them without a major combat force again!

On the other side, on the "Ibuki" aircraft carrier of the Japanese navy.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi reported the result of the carrier-based aircraft attack to General Yamamoto Fifty-Six with an ugly face. When it was learned that nearly two hundred carrier-based aircraft were all lost, none of them returned. And when a battleship of the German Navy was severely damaged by a suicide attack, Admiral Yamamoto's face was also as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"General Yamanaka Ryutaro and others are worthy of being the warriors of the empire. They can still fight to the death under such a desperate situation. This kind of courage and spirit is worth learning for everyone!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi nodded. Although their losses this time were very large, he had to admit that those pilots such as Yamanaka Ryutaro were indeed very brave.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that we go north immediately. Don't wait for the news of the carrier-based aircraft group attacking the German aircraft carrier. Otherwise, we will be even more dangerous." Admiral Nagumo Chuichi suggested.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six thought for a while, then nodded.

At this moment, General Yamamoto Fifty-six and Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi couldn't imagine that their positions had actually been exposed. In other words, the location of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the combined fleet of the island nation was discovered by a submarine of the German Navy. The submarine immediately sent a telegram, and then immediately dived to escape.

By the time the aircraft carrier of the island nation's navy detected the radio signal, it was already too late. The submarine of the German Navy has already escaped.
