"Baga! Damn Germany people! Next time, I will definitely take revenge!" On the 'Kuma' number Light Cruiser, Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō and Major General Suzuki Yoshio watched helplessly as German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft sank the 'Amagi' number Battlecruiser.
Although the 'Amagi' Battlecruiser is a huge warship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, it still cannot hold on under the German Navy, Carrier-based aircraft, and Encirclement Offensive. After suffering a lot of Torpedo and Aerial Bomb, it was completely sunk.
Under the anti-aircraft firepower of the Island Nation fleet, German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit also suffered a certain amount of casualties in order to sink the "Amagi" Battlecruiser. Two BF-109 fighter jets, one Dive Bomber and one Torpedo Bomber, were shot down.
However, compared with 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser, this kind of loss is undoubtedly insignificant. The cost of a 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser can build an aircraft carrier plus all Carrier-based aircraft. Such a loss undoubtedly made Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō feel like he was bleeding.
In addition to the sinking of the 'Amagi' Battlecruiser, the remaining three ships 'Amagi-class', Battlecruiser, German Navy, Carrier-based aircraft, and Encirclement Offensive also paid a heavy price.
Although the Battlecruiser 'Akagi' was not sunk, after being hit by two Torpedos, it was seriously flooded, the hull had tilted to a certain extent, and the superstructure was riddled with holes. If those Carrier-based aircrafts of the 'Taurus' aircraft carrier had not already dropped their bombs and Torpedos, they could easily sink the 'Akagi' Battlecruisers as long as they continued to launch attacks.
The situation of 'Atago' number Battlecruiser is not much better than that of 'Akagi' number Battlecruiser. Also suffered several Torpedo and bombs. The speed of the battleship has also dropped from more than 30 knots before to less than 25 knots.
The situation of 'Takao' No. Battlecruiser was relatively better, but it was also hit by eight heavy aviation bombs Armor-piercing Shell. The entire superstructure was almost destroyed. None of the injuries were fatal.
However, Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy has left temporarily. But all fools know that soon Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy will come to attack them again. It is undoubtedly very difficult to say whether Island Nation Navy 2nd Capital Ship Squadron, which suffered heavy losses, can withstand the attack of German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft. The final result is most likely that they will all be sunk.
"When will our Carrier-based aircraft arrive?" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō asked. Now he is a little anxious, not sure whether they can survive the second round of attack launched by German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit.
"General, the aircraft carrier team is still in radio silence. However, I believe that after receiving our Telegram, they will take off Carrier-based aircraft to reinforce us. Now, those Carrier-based aircraft should be on the way. It will take at least two or three hours to come back after the Carrier-based aircraft of the Germany people returns. We still have enough time. If we are lucky, we may be able to escape." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said.
Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō nodded, and now he could only comfort himself in this way. Although one ship, the 'Amagi' Battlecruiser, was lost, if the remaining three ships could be brought back, it would be a rare victory. After all, with Island Nation's shipbuilding capabilities, it would be easy to repair these injured 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser.
"I hope our Carrier-based aircraft can arrive in time!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō secretly prayed.
After German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft returned, the ground crew began to refuel these Carrier-based aircraft and add ammunition. The pilots took the time to rest and eat something to replenish their strength. Next, they have to conduct a second round of attacks.
Admiral Konrad Albrecht and others are still very satisfied with Carrier-based Aircraft Unit's attack. One ship was sunk, two were seriously damaged, and one was damaged. If the second round of attacks goes well, it is very likely that the remaining three ships 'Amagi-class' and 'Battlecruiser' will be sunk. In that case, Island Nation Navy's Capital Ship Squadron will suffer very heavy losses. In the ensuing battle, they would simply not be able to fight against German Navy.
Thanks to the efforts of the ground staff, German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit's second round of attack began after just over half an hour of preparation. These Carrier-based aircraft once again took off from the aircraft carrier and headed straight for Island Nation Navy 2nd Capital Ship Squadron. India Indian Ocean Fleet's Light Cruiser and destroyers have been hanging on the Island Nation fleet, making it impossible for the Island Nation fleet to get rid of it.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit's second round of attacks began. However, at this time, 24 Zero fighters that took off from the aircraft carrier Island Nation Navy also arrived. This forced German Navy to dedicate 24 BF-109 fighter jets to deal with those Zero fighter.
Zero fighter's aerial dogfighting ability is very powerful, but unfortunately, German Navy doesn't give them this chance at all. During the fierce battle, Zero fighter was completely suppressed and shot down one after another. The loss is much greater than German Navy fighter planes. Often Zero fighter loses three, and German Navy only loses one BF-109 fighter jet. It can be said that the two sides are not heavyweight opponents at all.
In addition to its long range, Zero fighter is almost useless in front of the BF-109 fighter jet.
While the fighters of both sides were fighting fiercely, Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy also began to attack the remaining three ships of the Island Nation fleet 2nd Capital Ship Squadron, 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser. The hard-hit number 'Akagi' number Battlecruiser and 'Atago' number Battlecruiser became the targets of German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft key Encirclement Offensive. As for the 'Takao' number Battlecruiser, no one cares about it.
The strategy within German Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit is naturally to give priority to sinking the 'Akagi' and 'Atago'. If there are still enough bombs and Torpedo by then, launch an attack on the 'Takao'.
Under Encirclement Offensive of German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit, 'Akagi' number Battlecruiser and 'Atago' number Battlecruiser were greatly traumatized. The 'Akagi' number Battlecruiser sank into the sea after once again being hit by 6 Torpedo and 11 heavy aviation Armor-piercing Shell.
Ten minutes later, the 'Atago' number Battlecruiser also followed in his footsteps, hit by four Torpedo and 17 Aerial Bomb, capsized on the sea, and sank into the sea.
Although the number Battlecruiser of 'Takao' was also attacked, it escaped because German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft did not have much ammunition left.
