Chapter 982
In the northern waters of the Dashi Sea, the Combined Fleet battlecruiser formation and the 1st heavy cruiser formation were almost approaching the coastline of the Dashi Peninsula. But they had been patrolling around here for two days, and not a single Third Reich Army transport ship was found.
However, some man-eating fishing boats were discovered, and they were sunk by the Japanese to vent their anger.
But this still makes these Japanese people very dissatisfied.
On the battlecruiser Amagi, the formation commander, Vice Admiral Toyoda, looked so gloomy that he looked like he could drip water.
"idiot! Damn the Germans, they are so cowardly. It's so abominable that they all slipped away!" Deputy Lieutenant General Toyoda couldn't help but curse.
He had been full of hope before, thinking that he could catch the transport fleet of the Third Reich Army and start a killing spree. But he didn't expect that this would be the result in the end. Naturally Made him very dissatisfied
"General, what should we do?"Commander Nagasune Yonejiro, the formation's chief of staff, asked.
"What else can be done? If no Germanic people are found, even if we kill all these big cannibals, there is no point! Let each ship move faster. After clearing out these big cannibals, we immediately turn around and join the main fleet!" Vice Admiral Toyoda ordered.
This is a large sea of food after all, and maybe the main force of the Third Reich Navy has arrived. Compared with the powerful Third Reich Navy, the strength of the combined fleet is still a little weaker. This makes Vice Admiral Toyoda Lieutenant General Take felt the great danger. If they were accidentally caught by the Third Reich Navy, they would probably have to fight to the end and remain loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Hi, General!"Hisamune Yonejiro Colonel replied
"boom! boom! boom!"
The battlecruiser formation and the 1st heavy cruiser formation of the combined fleet as well as the escorting destroyers were opening fire.
The shells one after another easily tore the man-eating fishing boats into pieces in the distance.
The man-eating fishermen were panicking. They fled in disarray. However, it was of no use. How could a fragile fishing boat outrun a warship? It would be easily overtaken and then sunk.
After massacring these big-eating fishermen, the battlecruiser formations of the Combined Fleet and The 1st heavy cruiser formation began to return, preparing to rendezvous with the main force of the combined fleet.
Without being able to detect the transport fleet of the Third Reich Army, their trip was naturally in vain.
But there was no way around it. They could not attack directly. The port on the Dashi Peninsula. The fighter planes of the Third Reich Air Force stationed on the Dashi Peninsula are not just for show.
Before the decisive battle with the Third Reich Navy breaks out, the Combined Fleet must save as many warships as possible. In this way If so, they can muster greater strength to deal with the Third Reich Navy.
But unfortunately, it may be because they have just massacred the Great Eater, and this sea area is the Great Eater Sea, ruled by the gods of the Tianfang Sect. Therefore, not long after the Combined Fleet battlecruiser formation and the 1st battlecruiser formation turned around, they encountered the battlecruiser formation of the Third Reich Navy.
When the fleets of both sides discovered each other, they had different moods.
"Your Excellency, the German navy has been discovered. The opponent has nine battleships!"Colonel Hisamune Yonejiro couldn't help but panic.
After all, they now only have four Amagi-class battlecruisers, two Furutaka-class heavy cruisers and two Aoba-class heavy cruisers. The
Amagi-class battlecruisers can naturally compete with the third The battlecruisers of the Imperial Navy. But four heavy cruisers are completely rubbish in front of the battlecruisers. Not to mention, the battlecruiser formation of the Third Reich Navy still has a numerical advantage.
"idiot! Are we so unlucky? Send a telegram immediately to report the incident to the flagship. In addition, let the 6th aircraft carrier formation take off carrier-based aircraft to kill these German capital ships! If they can be eliminated, this will definitely be a heavy blow to the German navy! Vice Admiral Toyoda gritted his teeth and said.
Although their strength is far inferior to that of the Third Reich Navy battlecruiser formation, Vice Admiral Toyoda has great ambitions.
If we can use the strength of the 6th aircraft carrier formation of the Combined Fleet Carrier-based aircraft can severely damage the battlecruiser formation of the Third Reich Navy in one fell swoop, or even eliminate all the battlecruiser formations of the Third Reich Navy. Then, this will undoubtedly be an extremely important victory for the combined fleet. Said Maybe, it can also play a role in reversing the situation.
By then, Vice Admiral Toyoda will become the savior of the Toyo Navy and will be a great hero. After the war is over, his promotion to the general will be even more certain.
"Hi, General!"Colonel Yonejiro Hisamune responded immediately.
The telegram for help was sent out immediately, and the Combined Fleet battlecruiser formation and the 1st heavy cruiser formation also began to prepare for battle. The flagship of the Third Reich Navy battlecruiser formation was Brü. On the battlecruiser Scheer, the formation commander, Marshal Karl Witzel, held up his binoculars and looked at the battlecruiser formation and the 1st heavy cruiser formation of the Combined Fleet.
"Ha ha! God bless us, we seem to be very lucky, and we actually bumped into four Amagi-class battlecruisers and four heavy cruisers of the Japanese here. This is the fat meat delivered to your door! Can't let it go!"Marshal Karl Witzel said
"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. Although the four Amagi-class battlecruisers of the Toyo people have good performance. But there is no comparison with us. Our nine battlecruisers have an overwhelming advantage!" Lieutenant General Martin, chief of staff of the formation, said
"Order all ships to speed up and move closer to the Japanese, seize the time and kill them in the shortest possible time!"Marshal Karl Witzel ordered
"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"Lieutenant General Martin replied
"In addition, the air search radar pays attention to the surrounding airspace to guard against attacks by enemy carrier-based aircraft. Report the situation here to the flagship!"Marshal Karl Witzel issued a supplementary order
"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"Lieutenant General Martin nodded.
Now that aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft have become the main force in naval battles, the fleet must take the enemy's carrier-based aircraft into account when fighting. Otherwise, it is very likely that It was attacked by an enemy carrier-based aircraft, causing the ship to capsize in the ditch.
After the combat order was issued, the battlecruiser formation of the Third Reich Navy quickly attacked the battlecruiser formation of the Combined Fleet and the 1st heavy cruiser formation.
