The 'Constellation-class' aircraft carrier of German Navy is much larger than the 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carrier of the previous level. Especially for the last batch of 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, after the installation of Angled Deck, the attendance rate of fighter aircraft has increased a lot. The hangar plus deck can park up to 103 fighter jets in total.
Among these fighters, there is a carrier-based Fighter Group, including 36 carrier-based BF-109 fighters, a Dive Bomber brigade, and 36 Carrier-based Stuka dive bomber. A Torpedo Bomber brigade includes 24 Torpedo Bombers. There are also 7 fighter aircraft in reserve, namely three fighter aircraft, two Dive Bomber and two Torpedo Bomber. Compared with the previous two batches of 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, it carries a slightly larger number of fighter aircraft. The combat effectiveness will naturally be stronger.
After the order of Marshal Lütjens was issued, German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft immediately took off from the aircraft carriers 'Archer' and 'Capricorn'.
Carrier-based aircraft on the two aircraft carriers each took off half of the time. After completing the formation in the air, they flew to Murmansk Naval Base in a mighty manner. The order given to them by Marshal Lütjens is to completely destroy this military port so that Bolshevik Navy can no longer use this military port. In this way, the Buru fleet is forced to come out for a decisive battle with them.
After the first batch of Carrier-based aircraft took off, the ground crew became busy. They needed to refuel the second batch of Carrier-based aircraft and add ammunition. In this case, the second batch of Carrier-based aircraft can take off before the first batch of Carrier-based aircraft returns.
More than ninety Carrier-based aircraft flew to Murmansk at high speed. The current Buru does not have Radar. They are not aware of the upcoming attack. Carrier-based aircraft, who knew German Navy, flew not far from Murmansk before being discovered.
"Woo!"
The shrill sirens resounded throughout the naval base, and countless Buru anti-aircraft guns began to rush towards the anti-aircraft gun emplacements. When Admiral Isakov left, he told them that if they were attacked by German Navy, they must find a way to protect the military port. In this case, they will have a way out.
"Fighters suppress Buru's air defense positions, Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, prepare to attack the target!" German Navy Carrier-based aircraft 16th Wing Commander Colonel Hofmann, who was responsible for commanding this battle, ordered.
Thirty-six carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets took the lead in launching the attack. Their target was the Russian air defense positions that were firing.
"Dong-dong-dong! Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
Door after door of Anti-aircraft Gun and anti-aircraft machine guns were firing wildly. There is no doubt that this is the first time that the Russian air defense troops at this base have participated in actual combat. So much so that when they faced German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft, they seemed a little panicked.
Although the firepower of Anti-aircraft Gun and anti-aircraft machine guns was fierce and intensive, it seemed very scattered. German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft can easily shuttle through the rain of bullets. It looks very dangerous, but it is actually very safe.
A carrier-based BF-109 fighter jet flew past an air defense position at Bolshevik Navy. The two bombs hanging under the wings have been dropped. The bomb accurately landed on this air defense position. After the explosion, two Anti-aircraft Gun were overturned, and several Russian air defense soldiers were killed.
Under the attack of these carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets, the Russian air defense positions suffered heavy losses. For a time, the anti-aircraft fire was also much weaker.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, those Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber launched an attack.
Dive Bomber began to attack valuable targets in the military port. The ammunition depot, oil depot, and headquarters in the military port are all very valuable targets. The heavy Aerial Bomb carried by these Dive Bomber can effectively destroy them.
When Torpedo Bomber launched an attack on land targets, it did not carry Torpedo, but mounted several Aerial Bombs to be used as horizontal Bombers.
These Torpedo Bomber dropped bombs one after another at a height of one thousand meters above the ground.
Intense explosions resounded throughout the military port, and thick smoke billowed out from a ship repair shop directly next to the dock.
"Damn Germany people, fire quickly! Shoot them down!" a Russian officer shouted.
However, the Russian anti-aircraft firepower seems to be very fierce, but in fact it does not pose any threat to these Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy at all. German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft are like petrels in a storm, shuttling through dense rain of bullets.
"Dong dong dong!"
A carrier-based BF-109 fighter jet strafed a Russian air defense position with its cannon. The entire air defense position suffered heavy losses amid the intensive hail of bullets. One by one, the Russian air defense soldiers were torn into pieces.
It can be said that before the emergence of anti-aircraft missiles, air defense troops on the ground were originally at a very disadvantageous position in the confrontation with fighter jets. Fighters are fast and can quickly avoid ground anti-aircraft fire before launching an attack. The anti-aircraft firepower on the ground is mostly fixed. This makes them vulnerable to fighter fire.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and an underground building in the corner of the military port was blown open. Fire and smoke were coming from inside. This is the oil depot of the military port. It was originally built underground, but this time it was still impossible to escape.
Under the fierce air strikes of German military and Carrier-based aircraft, the buildings in the military port were destroyed one after another.
After suppressing the Russian anti-aircraft firepower, some carrier-based fighter jets opened fire on the ground personnel who were scattering them. Many Russian soldiers were directly massacred.
During this round of attack, one of German military's Carrier-based aircraft was also shot down by ground anti-aircraft fire.
After dropping the bombs, Carrier-based aircraft of German military began to evacuate. They need to return to Carrier-based aircraft, refill fuel, add bombs, and launch another attack on Murmansk Naval Base depending on the situation.
Not long after the first batch of Carrier-based aircraft left, the second batch of Carrier-based aircraft flew over Murmansk Naval Base and launched an attack here again.
Many Carrier-based aircraft who survived before were not able to escape this time. Including the ammunition depot, it was also blown up in this round of attacks. The entire Murmansk Naval Base has been bombed into a mess.
Subsequently, Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy launched the third round of attacks. In fact, there are not many valuable targets left in this round of attacks. After this round of attacks, Murmansk Naval Base was completely destroyed. Bolshevik Navy There is no place to park.
