Chapter 1002

"boom! boom! boom!"

The 127mm anti-aircraft guns were firing fiercely, and powerful shells exploded in the air. Some carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy were unfortunately hit and were blown to pieces on the spot. The remaining carrier-based aircraft immediately dispersed, avoid getting hit again

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Triple-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft guns and 25mm single-mounted anti-aircraft guns are also firing crazily. Intense anti-aircraft firepower is formed in the sky to prevent the attack of the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy.

However, these seemingly dense anti-aircraft firepower , still unable to withstand the attack of the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy.

Even though many carrier-based aircraft were shot down in the process, more carrier-based aircraft successfully broke through the air defense firepower of the combined fleet and began to Attack these warships

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

With the ear-piercing whistling sound, the dive bombers dropped bombs one by one. The torpedo attack aircraft also took the opportunity to cooperate with the dive bombers and dropped aviation torpedoes one by one.

"boom! boom! boom!"

Violent explosions continued to sound, and warships continued to be hit.

The destroyers and light cruisers of the United Fleet simply could not withstand the powerful heavy aerial bombs or aerial torpedoes. Once hit, it would basically be a heavy damage.

Those aircraft carriers with large displacements are the key targets of the Third Reich Navy's carrier-based aircraft groups. The

Taiho aircraft carrier of the 1st aircraft carrier group of the Combined Fleet, two Shokaku-class aircraft carriers, the old aircraft carrier Hiryu and the old aircraft carrier Soryu. The second The aircraft carrier formation Ryuchang, two Akagi-class aircraft carriers, the Hosho aircraft carrier and the Unryu aircraft carrier were all fiercely attacked by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy.

Aerial bombs fell from the sky like raindrops, constantly hitting these aircraft carriers. As well as the escort warship. Heavy aviation torpedoes dropped by torpedo attack aircraft were scurrying in the water, hitting targets from time to time, and making violent explosions. The warship was on fire, and thick smoke rose into the sky. The sea water followed the warship. The breaches poured into the hull, causing the hull to tilt and even sink into the sea.

Facing the attack of the dense carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy, the 1st and 2nd aircraft carrier groups of the Eastern Imperial Navy Combined Fleet Almost none of the ten aircraft carriers survived and were hit one after another. Now, they are just struggling to support themselves.

Although the anti-aircraft firepower is still firing fiercely, it looks very sharp. However, there is no way to stop the Third Reich Navy. attack by the carrier-based aircraft group.

At this time, all five aircraft carrier formations of the Toyo Imperial Navy were attacked by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy. A total of 25 aircraft carriers had either been sunk, or were in the Under the siege of the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Third Reich Navy, they struggled to hold on and carried out the final desperate struggle. It was only a matter of time before they were severely damaged or even sunk.

Especially in the second batch of the Third Reich Navy With the carrier-based aircraft groups also arriving one after another, these huge carrier-based aircraft groups dealt a fatal blow to the aircraft carrier formation of the Eastern Empire Navy's Combined Fleet. The aircraft carrier formation of the Combined Fleet, which had already suffered heavy losses, was no longer able to compete with these huge numbers. The carrier-based aircraft group. Even if the anti-aircraft firepower is still firing, as a large number of escort warships are sunk and a large number of air defense positions are destroyed, obvious loopholes have appeared in its air defense firepower network. The experienced third party The carrier-based aircraft groups of the Imperial Navy will naturally not miss such an opportunity. They launch attacks through these loopholes, further accelerating the losses of these aircraft carrier formations of the Combined Fleet. If this continues, it may not take much time. All five aircraft carrier groups of the Combined Fleet will be lost.

At the same time, the 4th aircraft carrier group and the 2nd aircraft carrier group of the Third Reich Navy were also attacked by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Combined Fleet.

The situation of the 4th aircraft carrier group is undoubtedly Be a little more dangerous. Even if the fleet's air defense firepower is very powerful, especially those large air defense cruisers, they have displayed extremely powerful air defense firepower, causing the Japanese carrier-based aircraft fleet to pay extremely heavy losses.

However, the eight Giant-class aircraft carriers, They also suffered heavy losses. When the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group evacuated because they had finished dropping their bombs. Five Fomorian-class aircraft carriers have been sunk. The other three ships have also suffered heavy damage.

The seven Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group also suffered considerable losses.

Two Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers have been sunk. 20,000, and two Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers suffered heavy damage. The other three Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers were also hit by bombs and torpedoes. They suffered serious injuries and were obviously unable to continue fighting.

For an aircraft carrier, once the flight deck is blown up, it will almost lose the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft. In the next battle, naturally it can no longer continue.

Fortunately, the losses of the Eastern Navy Combined Fleet were much greater than those of the Third Reich Navy.

Not to mention the losses of the aircraft carriers of the United Fleet, their carrier-based aircraft groups alone suffered almost heavy losses.

More importantly, even some carrier-based aircraft successfully returned home. But their aircraft carriers have all been sunk or severely damaged. How do they land under such circumstances? Naturally, there is only one final result, which is to crash land in the sea. This also makes it impossible for the aircraft carrier formation of the Combined Fleet to launch attacks by carrier-based aircraft.

Looking at the aircraft carrier formations of the Third Reich Navy, the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group has four Imperial-class aircraft carriers and two Qibelin-class aircraft carriers, the 3rd Aircraft Carrier Group has three Qibelin-class aircraft carriers, two Glorious-class aircraft carriers and two Indomitable-class aircraft carriers. The aircraft carrier was not attacked. These aircraft carriers can take off and land carrier-based aircraft normally and participate in subsequent attacks.

Of course, the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Third Reich Navy also suffered considerable losses during the battle. Except for some that were shot down by the air defense fighters of the Combined Fleet, most of them were shot down by the air defense firepower of the Combined Fleet.

It is precisely for this reason that the remaining 13 aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy aircraft carrier group that can continue to operate can almost all receive the landings of these carrier-based aircraft.

In the subsequent naval battle, the Third Reich Navy can continue to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to launch attacks.

In this naval battle, the Third Reich Navy was already in sight of victory.
