"Attack! Destroy Capital Ships of Germany people!" Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro roared loudly.
Although, the number of critical strike aircraft and Attacker that broke through the blockade of German Navy fighter planes was not large, only about twenty in total. However, if you are lucky, you can also cause considerable losses to German Navy.
"Hi, sir!" the pilots replied. They rushed towards German fleet with a spirit of disregarding death.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Anti-aircraft Gun's shells exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of black smoke.
A Type 99 carrier-based dive bomber was very unfortunately hit by a 105mm Anti-aircraft Gun shell. The entire plane turned into a fireball in the explosion and fell toward the sea. The pilot was killed on the spot.
"Damn it! The Germany people's anti-aircraft firepower is fierce, all aircrafts pay attention!" Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro's face was ashen.
When the Island Nation Carrier-based aircraft was less than ten kilometers away from the fleet, those 88mm Anti-aircraft Gun also opened fire. The rate of fire of these 88mm Anti-aircraft Gun is much faster than that of the 105mm Anti-aircraft Gun, and they are also very powerful.
Under the intensive firepower of Anti-aircraft Gun, several Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft were unable to escape and were destroyed on the spot.
On the battleship German Navy, the long-range air defense is responsible for the 105mm Anti-aircraft Gun, and the medium-range air defense is responsible for the 88mm Anti-aircraft Gun. The short-range air defense is handled by 40mm Anti-aircraft Gun and 20mm Anti-aircraft Gun and 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns. This forms a three-layer air defense network of far, middle and near.
As Island Nation Carrier-based aircraft continued to approach, the anti-aircraft firepower on each German Navy warship also opened fire. Anti-aircraft Gun bombs and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets formed a dense air defense fire network in the air.
In the absence of enough fighter jets to suppress these anti-aircraft firepower, the clumsy crit aircraft and Attacker had to rely on their own strength to break through these anti-aircraft fire nets. And the end is undoubtedly extremely tragic. Many Carrier-based aircraft were shot and shot down.
Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro watched his own Carrier-based aircraft being sunk one after another, and his teeth were almost broken.
A Type 99 bomber successfully broke through the air defense network and launched an attack on German Navy's 'Brandenburg' number Battleship. Type 99 bomber cannot dive and drop bombs at a large angle like Dive Bomber of German Navy. Therefore, the hit rate is naturally not much higher. Also, the likelihood of getting hit is much higher.
"Go to hell!" the pilot yelled and dropped the bomb.
Aerial Bomb, weighing 500 kilograms, hit the "Brandenburg" No. Battleship on the sea in a parabola.
At this moment, the 'Brandenburg' was occupied and had already begun an emergency turn to avoid the Aerial Bomb.
As expected, the 'Brandenburg' number Battleship successfully avoided the bomb. The bomb fell into the sea, exploded, and splashed a high water column.
"Baga!" Seeing this situation, the pilot couldn't help but cursed.
But then, he was hit by a Anti-aircraft Gun shell. The plane disintegrated in the air and fell into pieces on the sea.
Although the Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft pilots were very heroic, they launched attacks again and again. However, in front of German fleet's anti-aircraft fire net, they were all bruised and bleeding, with no sign of success at all.
"Damn it! What should we do? The Germany people's anti-aircraft firepower is much stronger than ours. If this continues, all Carrier-based aircraft will be lost, and I'm afraid none of them will be able to threaten their warships!" Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro became anxious.
At this time, more than ten Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft arrived. However, these are all Zero fighter. For those huge Capital Ships, they pose no threat at all.
In order to avoid being threatened by their own anti-aircraft firepower, Germany also had fighter jets monitoring these Island Nation Carrier-based aircraft from a distance. Once they want to escape, these fighter jets will pounce on them and shoot down those Island Nation Carrier-based aircraft.
Even if Island Nation's industrial strength is not weak, it can continuously produce more Carrier-based aircraft. However, these pilots are not so easy to train. The pilots of Island Nation, whether they are pilots of Army Air Corps or pilots of Naval Air Corps, are all taking the elite route. That is to say, only the real elites in the military can become excellent pilots. Although this makes the pilots of Island Nation very strong, it also makes the training of pilots very difficult. Once lost, it is difficult to replenish it. Therefore, the more Island Nation pilots German Navy kills during the war, the greater the weakening of Island Nation Navy's strength will be.
"It seems that this time we can withstand the attack of the Island Nation people without any danger." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
"Yes, General. Fortunately, our fighter jets came to escort us. Otherwise, as many as two hundred Island Nation Carrier-based aircraft would really make us pay a heavy price!" Major General Felix said.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi nodded repeatedly. Even though their anti-aircraft firepower is very powerful, they are still very likely to be sunk if they are attacked by Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft's crazy Encirclement Offensive. Fortunately, German Navy fighter planes arrived in time and eliminated Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft's main force. This allowed German fleet to easily withstand Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft's attack.
No matter what, this attack by Island Nation Navy can be considered a failure. They did not cause any harm to German Navy, but instead lost a large number of Carrier-based aircraft and pilots. This is undoubtedly a victory for German Navy.
"Boom! Boom!"
A Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft of Island Nation Navy wanted to launch Torpedo at Battleship number 'Crown Prince', but before Torpedo had time to launch, it was hit by the Anti-aircraft Gun shell. The plane suddenly crashed on the sea and exploded.
"Damn it!" Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro watched as his own Carrier-based aircraft's attacks failed again and again. And there are not many Carrier-based aircraft left. Except for those Zero fighter, almost all the critical strike machines and Attacker were lost. Such a result undoubtedly made him unable to accept it.
But, how to break through the current predicament? There was nothing he could do.
"Sir! Please allow me to fly the plane into the Germany people's warship. There are a large number of German aircraft outside, and even if we retreat, it is impossible. Rather than doing this, it is better to dedicate one's life for the Empire!" said a pilot.
Colonel Yamashiro Ryutaro was stunned, and then said, "Okay, let's attack! Empire will be proud of you!"
