Chapter 992

On the surface of the Great Sea, a submarine was surfacing.

The huge fleet of carrier-based aircraft flying through the sky just passed over their heads.

This made the submariners who had just climbed out of the submarine and were about to go to the deck to get some fresh air, all of them couldn't help but be stunned.

"Oh, God! The Japanese actually dispatched such a large fleet. Have they discovered the location of our main fleet?"

"Damn it, if hundreds of carrier-based aircraft are attacked by them, wouldn't our fleet be doomed?"

The submariners were immediately worried.

The luck of this submarine was relatively good. It was more than fifty kilometers away from the main force of the Eastern Empire Navy's combined fleet. Therefore, it can be said that these carrier-based aircraft groups were attacked by them as soon as they took off. Found out

"Immediately send a telegram to inform the main fleet. Then, escape from this sea area immediately!"The captain immediately ordered

"Yes, sir!"The submariners answered one after another.

Immediately, the submariners immediately got into the submarine and began to send the telegram.

The telegram was sent within a minute, and then the submarine immediately dived and fled the sea area quickly.

After half an hour, More than a dozen destroyers of the Combined Fleet rushed to this area, searching for submarines of the Third Reich Navy. They even dropped a large number of depth bombs. But unfortunately, in addition to killing some passing whales, they also It doesn't matter. The submarine of the Third Reich Navy has already escaped.

On the Taiho aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Fukurun Shigeru is reporting the news to Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku

"Your Excellency, Marshal, a submarine has appeared fifty kilometers northwest of us. I'm afraid they just ran into our carrier-based aircraft group. And, the telegram has been sent."Reported by Lieutenant General Fukudome Shige

"hateful! how so? Are these damn Germans really so lucky?"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto was very angry.

If the news about the carrier-based aircraft group was leaked in advance, it would undoubtedly be very detrimental to the combined fleet. This means that the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy can defend in advance. Even , based on the discovered location and flight trajectory of the carrier-based aircraft group, the location of their aircraft carrier formation is deduced, thereby launching a large-scale attack

"Your Excellency, Commander, our aircraft carrier formation needs to be dispersed. The remaining five aircraft carrier formations can no longer be gathered together. In addition, the carrier-based aircraft of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group and the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group must be prepared. On the one hand, prepare to intercept the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy. On the other hand, it is preparing to launch an attack on the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy. General Nagumo Chudai suggested.

Obviously, when their position is very likely to be exposed, they can only do their best to attack and defend.

In other words, the desperate time has come. If they can resist the Third Reich If the navy's carrier-based aircraft group attacks and their own carrier-based aircraft group severely damages the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy, they are very likely to win this battle. On the contrary, they will lose this crucial naval battle.

Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded and accepted the suggestion of General Nagumo Chudai.

"Order each aircraft carrier formation to disperse immediately, and at the same time, prepare for air defense operations. The 1st Aircraft Carrier Group and the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group are ready to attack! The outcome of this naval battle depends on this battle!"Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six ordered

"Hi, Mr. Marshal!"General Nagumo Chuichi immediately went to make arrangements.

Immediately, the five aircraft carrier formations of the combined fleet took action.

The 25 aircraft carriers distanced themselves one after another and prepared for air defense operations. Among them, the 1st aircraft carrier formation and the 2nd aircraft carrier The 10 aircraft carriers of the aircraft carrier formation are even full of carrier-based aircraft that are ready to take off and can take off for combat at any time.

At the same time, on the aircraft carrier Reich, the flagship of the Third Reich Navy, the communications troops immediately sent the submarine to The sent telegram was translated and sent to the hands of Naval Commander Marshal Dönitz and Chief of Staff Marshal Albrecht.

"call! It seemed that the Japanese were ready to make a desperate move, and actually dispatched hundreds of carrier-based aircraft at once. And, this may just be the first wave. Their attack direction should be where the 4th aircraft carrier formation is located. The 4th aircraft carrier fleet may be in big trouble this time!"Marshal Dönitz said

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Model: We have deployed a large number of submarines on the Great Sea, allowing us to detect the movements of the Japanese in time. The Toyo people's carrier-based aircraft are still some distance away from the 4th aircraft carrier formation, and we still have more than an hour to prepare."Marshal Albrecht was also a little lucky.

Marshal Dönitz nodded. He had served as the commander of the submarine force before. In this decisive battle with the Eastern Empire Navy Combined Fleet, the submarine force was fully equipped. Give full play to your own strength.

In the vast Tianzhu Ocean, the Third Reich Navy has hundreds of ocean-going submarines active. There are more than fifty submarines in the Dashi Sea alone.

Although, it is equivalent to the vast In terms of the ocean, fifty submarines may not be a big deal. But in fact, this density is already quite large. This is why the Third Reich Navy was able to get timely information about the Combined Fleet.

"Commander, what should we do next? With the strength of the 4th aircraft carrier fleet, it is almost impossible to cope with such a huge carrier-based aircraft group of the Japanese!"Albrecht said

"Order the 4th aircraft carrier formation and all carrier-based aircraft to prepare to launch an attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier formation. Of course, in order to ensure their safety, all carrier-based fighters were left behind, and only dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft were dispatched. As for the escort fighters, they are dispatched by other aircraft carrier formations. All fighters of the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group are ready to be used as anti-aircraft fighters!"Marshal Dönitz has already had an idea and made a decision

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Marshal Albrecht replied

"A group of carrier-based fighter jets were launched from the 3rd Aircraft Carrier Group and the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group to escort the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group. In addition, another batch of carrier-based fighter jets will be launched to reinforce the 4th aircraft carrier formation. The remaining carrier-based aircraft launched an attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier formation. The 1st Carrier Group no longer needs to be retained to participate in the attack. This time, let’s have a decisive battle with the Japanese!"Marshal Dönitz ordered.
