In the southern waters of Ponape Island, the aircraft carriers of German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet are gathered here. The four 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carriers were cruising at low speed under the protection of escort warships. The fleet's course was now northwest. Now that our own Capital Ships team has gained an advantage, the next step is to find a way to further expand the results.
Once daylight comes, it will be time for these aircraft carriers to show off. The aircraft carrier's Carrier-based aircraft took off to attack Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet, further destroying Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet.
Although the Capital Ships team of German Navy has sunk a lot of Island Nation Capital Ships. But Island Nation Navy still has a lot of Capital Ships left, and those Capital Ships must be destroyed. In addition, Island Nation Navy's eight aircraft carriers were regarded by German fleet as targets that must be destroyed. Only then can German Navy win this battle. Thereby ensuring the safety of Germany's colonies in South Seas and Australia.
On the aircraft carrier 'Wilhelm the Great', Admiral Indian Ocean Fleet Commander Alfred Savakht and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General William Machar, as well as Indian Ocean Fleet aircraft carrier Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Walter Walzecha, were chatting and laughing. The battle situation is getting smoother and smoother, which makes them feel very happy.
"Your Excellency Commander, Otto? General Schneewind is on the two ships of the Encirclement Offensive Island Nation people'Fusō-class'Battleship. With the strength of our seven Capital Shipss, we can easily sink the two Fusō-classs and Battleships of the Island Nation people!" Lieutenant General William Marshall said with a smile on his face.
"Yes! Your Excellency Commander, we will definitely win this naval battle. There is no way those damn Island Nation dwarfs can fight against us!" Lieutenant General Walter Walzeca said.
Admiral Alfred Sawakht's face was also full of smiles. When Mariana Islands was attacked by the Island Nation fleet and suffered heavy losses, German Navy was undoubtedly very angry. More than six hundred Carrier-based aircrafts were lost, a large number of pilots and ground crews were killed, and the airport was bombed. This undoubtedly caused extremely heavy losses to the German Navy. Fortunately, now they have taken the initiative in the naval battle and caused heavy losses to the Island Nation fleet.
"Yes, gentlemen. If there are no accidents, our chances of winning this battle will be very high. If we can get rid of Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet, then it will be impossible for the Island Nation people to march towards South Seas and Australia. In this case, the war in the Western Pacific area will become very beneficial to us. We only After European theater wins, we can attack Island Nation with all our strength. There is no doubt that the scene in the last World War will be repeated. We will attack Island Nation's Mainland in the end and make them pay for their stupid behavior." Admiral Alfred Sawaht said.
The most critical aspect of the war between Germany and Island Nation is undoubtedly the war between navies. If German Navy wins, then Island Nation will only be able to stay in the homeland. No matter how strong their army is, it is impossible to attack South Seas and Australia across the vast sea without controlling the sea. Therefore, German Navy very much hopes to win this naval battle. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of the German Army would have to struggle hard.
Although, German Army's combat effectiveness is far stronger than Island Nation's Army. But Island Nation's Army has an absolute military advantage in the Far East Pacific Ocean area. Once Island Nation's Army completes the mobilization, the number of more than five million is enough to give German Army a headache.
At this time, Radar of the 'FX12' air defense cruiser located outside the fleet discovered several large targets 40 kilometers away and approaching them at high speed. This attracted the attention of Radar soldier and he reported it immediately.
The 'FX12' air defense cruiser is a large air defense cruiser German Navy specially built to protect aircraft carriers. It has a displacement of more than 20,000 tons and is equipped with the most advanced air search Radar and Sea-search radar. Although there is no large-caliber Naval Gun, it is equipped with a large number of Anti-aircraft Gun. This makes the sea strike capability of this type of warship only equivalent to Light Cruiser, but its air defense capability is very abnormal. Each aircraft carrier is equipped with a large anti-aircraft cruiser, which serves as the aircraft carrier's personal bodyguard.
An aircraft carrier battle group of German Navy, in addition to one aircraft carrier, includes one large anti-aircraft cruiser, two heavy cruisers, four Light Cruiser, six destroyers, and two supply ships. During the battle, the supply ship will stay away from the battlefield to avoid being affected by the battle.
"Sir, the target is identified as Capital Ships. And their speed is very fast, at least 30 knots!" Officer Radar reported.
"Hell! That must be the 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser of the Island Nation people. I didn't expect them to be here. Report to the flagship immediately!" the captain of the 'FX12' anti-aircraft cruiser ordered.
When Telegram was delivered to Admiral Alfred Sawakht, his face was very ugly.
"Damn it, the Island Nation people's 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser are here. They did not stay with their aircraft carriers, but came towards us. Order the fleet to increase to the highest speed and evacuate immediately. And, the four aircraft carrier battle groups, disperse and evacuate!" Admiral Alfred Savakht immediately issued the order.
Island Nation Navy's move caught Admiral Alfred Sawakht off guard. The combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is very strong. During the day, it can easily take off Carrier-based aircraft Encirclement Offensive the enemy's Capital Ships. It can be easily sunk. However, it is night now, and the aircraft carrier's Carrier-based aircraft has no way to take off. Facing the enemy, the only option is to retreat.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. However, Island Nation Navy's 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser is too fast. Can we escape?" Lieutenant General William Machar's face looked very ugly.
Among German Navy's aircraft carrier battle groups, whether they are cruisers or destroyers, their speeds are as high as more than thirty knots. However, the speed of aircraft carriers is relatively slow. Among the aircraft carriers currently in service with German Navy, except for the 'Constellation-class' aircraft carrier and 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carrier, which can reach a speed of 30 knots, the speeds of the 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carrier and 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carrier are both below 30 knots. Especially the 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carrier, because it has been in service for almost twenty years, even after maintenance and modification, its maximum speed is only 27 knots.
