"Boom! Boom!"
One after another, the crit aircraft and Attacker were hit by shells falling from the sky. The aircraft fell to the ground dragging thick smoke.
Under the surprise attack of 48 carrier-based BF-109 fighters of German Navy, more than twenty Island Nation Navy critical strike aircraft and Attacker were shot down. The other Carrier-based aircraft were also frightened and immediately dispersed.
"Baga! Germany fighter jets! Zero fighter split into four squadrons to fight! Other fighter jets, cover the critical strike aircraft and Attacker, keep moving forward!" Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro immediately ordered.
He knew very well that if he couldn't find a way to entangle the German Navy fighter jets, they would suffer greater casualties. By then, the losses will be even greater. Not to mention launching an attack on Capital Ships of German Navy.
Zero fighter of Island Nation Navy immediately pursued German Navy's carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets, hoping to shoot them down. However, their climb rate could not be compared with German Navy's BF-109 fighter, and they could only watch German Navy fighter planes fly high into the sky.
"Da da da!"
Some Zero fighter fired. The 7.7mm aviation machine gun on the nose was not very powerful. At most, it only left some insignificant bullet holes on the German Navy fighter planes. However, the victory lies in sufficient ammunition reserves and strong continuous firepower.
"Sir, German aircraft is climbing too fast and we can't catch up." said a Island Nation pilot.
"Baga, be careful not to go into high altitude, otherwise the engine will have problems."
Once the engine of Zero fighter enters a high altitude and the oxygen is thin, it may cause engine failure and cause the plane to crash.
Island Nation Navy fighter pilots also know this problem, so they try to avoid entering high-altitude combat as much as possible. But at the same time, they could only watch German Navy fighter planes enter high altitude, unable to pursue it.
A fierce air battle began immediately. German Navy's carrier-based BF-109 fighter jet, after getting rid of the pursuit of Island Nation Navy's Zero Fighter, immediately attacked those critical strike aircraft and Attacker. Although they can easily shoot down these Zero fighter, instead of wasting time on these Zero fighter, it is better to seize the time to deal with those critical strike machines and Attacker. The heavy Aerial Bomb carried by the critical attack aircraft and the heavy aviation Torpedo carried by the Attacker are the ones that can pose a fatal threat to one's own Capital Ships. Those Zero fighter, unless they are flying a plane to crash, it is impossible to threaten those huge Capital Ships.
Soon, the second batch of BF-109 fighter jets also arrived. 72 BF-109 fighter jets joined the battlefield, immediately reversing the air combat situation. Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft group, although the number is huge. However, most of them are critical strike machines and Attacker. Facing German Navy's BF-109 fighter, these clumsy critical strike aircraft and Attacker are almost powerless to fight back.
"Baga! How could this happen? How could the Germany people dispatch so many fighter jets to intercept us?" Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro's face had turned pale.
German Navy dispatched more than a hundred BF-109 fighter jets, trying to catch them all in one fell swoop! In this case, it is impossible for them to pose any threat to German Navy's Capital Ships.
"All Zero fighters, use all your strength to entangle Germany's fighter jets! Explosive bombers and Attackers, use all your strength to break out. Germany's Capital Ships should be not far away. For the Empire, you guys, fight to the death!" Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro ordered.
"Empire is onboard!" All the Island Nation pilots shouted.
Although the enemy is powerful, the animal nature in these Island Nation pilots has also been inspired. Even if they know they will die, they will attack without fear of death.
Island Nation Navy's Zero fighter launched a desperate attack, trying to hold down German Navy's BF-109 fighter jet, even if it crashed. A Zero fighter was chasing a BF-109 fighter jet German Navy. It dived too fast, which directly caused its body to fall apart. The body structure of Zero fighter is already very fragile. If it dives too fast, it is very likely to disintegrate. But even so, those Island Nation pilots still bravely launched the attack.
Those critical attack aircraft and Attacker were trying their best to break through the blockade of German Navy's BF-109 fighter jets and launch an attack on German Navy's Capital Ships.
"Ta-ta-ta! Dong-dong-dong!"
Aviation machine guns and cannons fired wildly, and planes were constantly shot down. Some pilots couldn't even parachute and were killed directly in the battle.
In the fierce air battle, Island Nation Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit suffered heavy losses. In comparison, although German Navy's BF-109 fighter was also shot down. However, the amount of damage was much smaller.
"Go to hell, damn Germany people!" A Island Nation pilot seized the opportunity and fired wildly at a BF-109 fighter jet.
The cannon shattered the cockpit glass of the BF-109 fighter and the pilot was killed on the spot. After losing control, the fighter plane fell into the sea.
"Haha! I killed a German aircraft!" the Island Nation pilot cheered.
But the next second, a shell falling from the sky knocked off the tail of the Zero fighter, and the plane fell into the sea dragging thick smoke.
Although the German Navy fighter planes troops caused great losses to the Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft troops. However, there were still many critical attack machines and Attacker, which escaped the pursuit. These critical attack aircraft and Attacker soon discovered German Navy's Capital Ships troops and launched an attack.
The three ships of German Navy, 'Kaiser class' and Battleship, fell at the end because of their slower speed. After discovering the Island Nation Carrier-based aircraft attack, the fleet immediately sounded the air defense alarm.
The three 'Kaiser class' and 'Battleship' were all guarded in the center by cruisers and destroyers. Each 'Kaiser class' was protected by a heavy cruiser, two Light Cruisers and four destroyers. Coupled with the anti-aircraft firepower of Battleship itself, such anti-aircraft firepower is undoubtedly very powerful.
"Attention, all ships, the next step is a test for us. I hope that everyone can hold on!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said with a serious expression.
Fortunately, there are not many Island Nation Carrier-based aircraft that actually break through the blockade, and the threat they pose to the fleet is not very great.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The 105mm Anti-aircraft Gun fired first. These large-caliber Anti-aircraft Gun have a long range and great power. Once hit, it can easily tear apart an aircraft. Of course, the disadvantage is the slow rate of fire. Even with an automatic loader, the maximum rate of fire is only 25 rounds per minute. Of course, it is still much faster than 127mm Anti-aircraft Gun of Island Nation Navy.
