Chapter 996

A huge fleet of carrier-based aircraft was attacking the Third Reich Navy aircraft carrier formation, and the Eastern Empire Navy Combined Fleet also devoted all its strength this time. Except for the few air defense fighters left behind, all other carrier-based aircraft were also dispatched.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, we have tried our best this time. May Amaterasu protect us and defeat the Germans in one fell swoop!"General Nagumo Chudai had a determined look on his face.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku nodded.

Indeed, they have done everything they can. I don't know what the result will be next.

Maybe, Praying for the blessing of Amaterasu has become the only way

"The Germanic carrier-based aircraft group is very large, far larger than our carrier-based aircraft group. However, even if we can fight with them, both sides will suffer losses. This is also very beneficial to us."Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto said.

Regarding defeating the Third Reich Navy, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku knew that it would be extremely difficult. It was even impossible. If he could fight with the Third Reich Navy and lose both sides, then he I am already satisfied. According to the pre-war plan, this will make the Third Reich lose the ability to launch attacks on the Eastern Empire's mainland and even the Nanyang region.

And the Eastern Empire's mainland is frantically building warships, Taiho-class aircraft carriers, and changing Taiho-class aircraft carriers. , Unryu-class aircraft carrier, as well as the second batch of Kii-class battleships, Amagi-class battlecruisers and Yamato-class battleships.

In order to speed up the construction progress of these battleships, the major shipyards of the Eastern Empire have begun to work in three shifts. Strive to complete the construction of these battleships in the shortest possible time.

Once these battleships are put into service, this will allow the Eastern Empire Navy to quickly regain its strong strength, enough to once again compete with the Third Reich Navy. Even if it is still inferior to The Third Reich Navy at least has the capital to compete with the Third Reich Navy. Maybe it can buy more time for the Eastern Empire, so that the Eastern Empire can take the opportunity to build a more powerful military force.

If you are lucky , If it's good, maybe we can get the Third Reich to stop attacking when it sees fit. In this case, the Eastern Empire's goal of dominating the Pacific, Far East, and even Southeast Asia will be achieved.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, our goal will definitely be achieved!"General Nagumo Chuichi said.

After all, although the carrier-based aircraft force of the Toyo Empire Navy is far inferior to the Third Reich Navy, they still cannot be underestimated. The carrier-based aircraft released by all existing aircraft carriers are still not a small one. Number. The number of carrier-based aircraft taken off by the five aircraft carrier formations alone has reached 428 Zero fighters, 606 Comet blasters and 606 Tianshan attack aircraft. The total number of these carrier-based aircraft has almost reached the Third Reich Sixty percent of the navy's carrier-based aircraft.

Such a large number of carrier-based aircraft of the Eastern Imperial Navy is enough to overwhelm the aircraft carrier formation of the Third Reich Navy.

Of course, the anti-aircraft fighters of the Third Reich Navy will inevitably carry out crazy interceptions , try to shoot down these carrier-based aircraft of the Toyo Imperial Navy as much as possible. At the same time, the sharp anti-aircraft firepower of the Third Reich Navy warships is not so easy to break through. The Toyo Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft group wants to destroy the Third Reich's The aircraft carrier itself will inevitably suffer extremely heavy casualties.

No matter what, the outcome of this naval battle will only be known after the fight.

"Woo! Woo!"

The shrill air defense siren sounded over the 4th aircraft carrier formation of the Third Reich. All the officers and soldiers of the entire formation were already busy. One by one, the warships entered the air defense combat mode as usual drills.

Large-scale air defense Cruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers guarded the Giant-class aircraft carriers in the middle.

Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were pointing in the direction of the incoming carrier-based aircraft of the Toyo Navy.

Although these giant-class aircraft carriers have a small displacement and a small number of carrier-based aircraft, they will be eliminated after this naval battle. However, at least in this naval battle, they can still play a certain role. Chapter Naturally, the three imperial navies will try their best to preserve these Giant-class aircraft carriers.

Among other things, as long as these Giant-class aircraft carriers exist, the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Toyo Navy will hit them like moths to a flame, and then be attacked by sharp air defenses. Firepower tore it into pieces.

In the sky, the carrier-based aircraft group of the Toyo Navy was approaching at high speed. Hundreds of carrier-based aircraft taking off from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th aircraft carrier formations of the Combined Fleet directly attacked the 4th aircraft carrier formation of the Third Reich Navy. And left.

Similarly, more than 140 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets took off from the eight Goliath-class aircraft carriers of the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Third Reich Navy.

These FW-190 fighter jets were conducting air searches. Under the guidance of radar, the carrier-based aircraft group of the Toyo Navy has been intercepted in advance.

"Attention all squadrons, we will encounter the Japanese in five minutes. Prioritize attacking Japanese dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft!"The anti-aircraft fighter commander of the 4th aircraft carrier group of the Third Reich Navy ordered

"Yes, sir!"The squadron leaders of each squadron responded one after another.

Five minutes passed in a flash, and the carrier-based aircraft groups of both sides encountered each other in the sky.

"attack!"Following the commander's order, the anti-aircraft fighters of the Third Reich Navy immediately launched an attack.

More than a hundred carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets rushed towards the Toyo people's carrier-based aircraft group from high altitudes.

"call out! call out! call out!"

The aviation rockets fired first, and each rocket flew towards the Toyo Navy's carrier-based aircraft group.

"boom! boom! boom!"

Explosions sounded one after another, and large areas of Japanese carrier-based aircraft were hit, destroyed, and fell toward the sea.

"idiot! The German anti-aircraft fighters are coming. The fighter jets held back the German anti-aircraft fighters, covering the critical strike aircraft and attack aircraft to break through their interception!"The commander of the carrier-based aircraft group of the Toyo Navy ordered

"Hi, sir!"The Japanese pilots also responded one after another.

More than a hundred Zero fighters bravely pounced on the anti-aircraft fighters of the Third Reich Navy.

A fierce air battle ensued.

"Boom, boom, boom! Da da da!"

The cannons and aviation machine guns fired wildly. Fighters were constantly hit, burst into flames, and fell to the sea with billowing smoke. Some fighters were even hit and disintegrated in the air. The battle was very fierce, and every time Every moment, fighter planes were shot down and pilots died.
