"General, the 'Wilhelm the Great' has been sunk." On board a Germany Light Cruiser, the staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Walter Walzecha.
Lieutenant General Walter Walzecha couldn't help but closed his eyes in pain. The aircraft carrier 'Wilhelm the Great' is the flagship of Indian Ocean Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation! In this battle, it was sunk before it could play any role. This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to German Navy.
At the same time, this also shows that although aircraft carriers are already the absolute main force in naval battles. However, under certain circumstances, aircraft carriers are still very easy to be sunk. Although the aircraft carrier can easily sink the Battleship with the Carrier-based aircraft, once it gets close, the Battleship's main gun can also easily sink the aircraft carrier.
"Try to rescue those crew members who fell into the water. In addition, order other aircraft carriers to escape as much as possible. As long as we can survive until dawn, it is time for us to fight back." Lieutenant General Walter Walzeca ordered.
"Yes, General."
Everyone knows that the period before dawn is undoubtedly the most difficult period for German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet's Aircraft Carrier Formation. With the Battleship formation no longer present, facing Battlecruiser of Island Nation Navy, they had no other option but to escape. However, Island Nation Navy and Battlecruiser were so fast that their aircraft carrier had no ability to fight back.
"Haha! Yossi! Good job. We finally sank an aircraft carrier of Germany people. Work harder and sink other aircraft carriers of Germany people. We will win this naval battle!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō's face was full of smiles. Island Nation Navy's heavy cruiser was easily killed by German Navy's heavy cruiser, causing heavy losses. This made him very angry before. But now, after sinking the aircraft carrier German Navy, everything seems to be different.
"General, we have solved one, and the other ships of the Germany people are not far away. We can kill them all soon. The Germany people's Indian Ocean Fleet only have four aircraft carriers. As long as we can solve them all, there will only be four aircraft carriers of the Germany people's Pacific Fleet on the Pacific Theater. And we have eight aircraft carriers, we will definitely be able to defeat them!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio said.
Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō nodded with satisfaction, he had the same idea. Although they lost in the Capital Ships duel, they suffered heavy losses. But if the German Navy aircraft carrier can be eliminated, they can use the aircraft carrier Carrier-based aircraft to Encirclement Offensive German Navy to win this naval battle.
"Well, hurry up, it's not long before dawn. Use this time to sink all the Germany people's aircraft carriers as much as possible!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō ordered.
"Hi, General." Major General Suzuki Yoshio replied.
After sinking the aircraft carrier 'Wilhelm the Great', Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō did not forget to send a good news to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
When Telegram was delivered to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the gloomy look on his face finally dissipated a lot.
"Takasu-kun did a good job this time. If he can really eliminate all four aircraft carriers of Indian Ocean Fleet's Germany people, then we will have an advantage in this naval battle." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo on the side nodded. "Your Excellency Commander, Mr. Takasu and the others have destroyed one aircraft carrier of Germany, and are now chasing the other three aircraft carriers. However, it is not until dawn. There is not much time left. I hope Takasu-kun and the others can seize this golden opportunity and eliminate all the aircraft carriers of the Germany people in one fell swoop. In that case, our chances of winning this naval battle will be much higher."
If Island Nation Navy can take advantage of the aircraft carrier Carrier-based aircraft, the next battle situation will become very beneficial to them. Although German Navy also has many airports on the islands on Pacific Ocean. However, those airports are fixed after all, and there are many Island Nation Navy that seem to be unplugging those airports one after another. By then, Island Nation Navy's victory in this naval battle will no longer be an empty talk.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was also very satisfied with this turn of events. Capital Ship Squadron's previous heavy losses made him look very ugly, thinking that winning this naval battle would be very difficult. But now, unexpectedly, things have taken a turn for the worse. The four ships 'Amagi-class' and Battlecruiser led by Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō are about to reverse the situation for them.
"Nagumo, Carrier-based Aircraft Unit are all ready? After dawn, it's time for Carrier-based Aircraft Unit to take action." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto asked.
"Your Excellency Commander, Carrier-based Aircraft Unit has been ready to attack a long time ago. After dawn, we will attack with all our strength!" Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo replied.
After dawn, the two aircraft carrier teams of Island Nation Navy will dispatch a large number of Carrier-based aircraft. These Carrier-based aircraft must not only escort the retreating Capital Ship Squadron, but also wait for opportunities to attack Capital Ship Squadron or the aircraft carrier team of German Navy, further expanding the advantages of Island Nation Navy. It was foreseeable that they would face a tough battle after dawn. Since German Navy's aircraft performance and pilot quality are better than Island Nation Navy, Island Nation Navy's losses in the team will be huge. However, as long as we can win this battle, no matter how big the loss is, it will be worth it. The lost aircraft and pilots can soon be replaced from home.
Time passed little by little, Island Nation Navy was still chasing Aircraft Carrier Formation of German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet.
After the aircraft carrier 'Wilhelm the Great' was sunk, the aircraft carrier 'Frederick III' was unfortunately caught up. Under the fierce bombardment of Island Nation Navy's 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser, the aircraft carrier 'Frederick III' only lasted less than half an hour before being sunk.
At the same time, German Navy's aircraft carriers 'Wilhelm II' and 'Wilhelm III' were also pursued. Although German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet's small and medium-sized warships fought back desperately, even launching lightning strikes to delay Island Nation Navy's 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser to buy time for the aircraft carrier's evacuation, they ultimately failed to succeed.
The aircraft carrier "Wilhelm II" was hit twice and suffered heavy damage. The aircraft carrier "Wilhelm III" was also shot, and a big hole was blown out of the flight deck. But at the same time, it was getting brighter.
