On the Battlecruiser of the 'Blücher', Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter and Major General Abraham stood on the bridge, watching the Light Cruiser of the 'Kitakami' burn and sink. Through the telescope, one can clearly see Island Nation sailors one after another jumping into the sea like dumplings in the fire. There was no pity for this in their eyes, it was complete indifference.
"General, it's over! We have killed all the Island Nation people's lightning strike formation. However, the Light Cruiser that we sunk is really crazy. A lightning strike can actually release dozens of Torpedo. They killed two Light Cruiser and two destroyers at once. If they were approached by the opponent, the consequences would be really disastrous!" said Major General Abraham.
Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewinter nodded. Light Cruiser, which is specialized in lightning strikes, Island Nation Navy, plus Long Spear torpedo, has indeed become a very terrifying trump card. Especially in night battles, once one gets close, the consequences will be very serious. Think about it, dozens of Torpedos are rushing towards your own Capital Ships formation quickly. It is undoubtedly very terrifying, enough to make people's scalp numb.
"Send Telegram to the aircraft carrier! It will be their turn in the next battle." Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind said.
"Yes, General." Major General Abraham nodded.
"General, can we send some destroyers or Light Cruiser to pursue the Capital Ships team of Island Nation people. In this case, we can also indicate the target location of the attack for Aircraft Carrier Formation. It will not cause the aircraft carrier to take off. The flying Carrier-based aircraft will have to search for the location of the Island Nation fleet. If we are lucky, we might be able to find the location of the Island Nation Navy aircraft carrier in one fell swoop," the young man Abraham suggested.
"Well, let's do this! Send two Light Cruiser and two destroyers, divided into two formations, to follow the Island Nation fleet. After dawn, inform us of the position of the Island Nation fleet." Lieutenant General Otto Schneewind said.
"Yes, General."
Two Germany Light Cruiser and two destroyers formed two formations and quickly pursued the direction in which the Island Nation fleet was leaving, quickly disappearing into the darkness. As long as the position of the Island Nation fleet is found and the attack is launched after dawn, the Island Nation fleet will undoubtedly pay a heavier price, which will further expand the results of German Navy in this naval battle.
On German Navy Pacific Fleet's aircraft carrier Aries, Aircraft Carrier Formation Commander Lieutenant General William Canaris and Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Bürgel also stayed up all night without rest.
For Aircraft Carrier Formation of German Navy Pacific Fleet, South China Sea is undoubtedly a dangerous sea area and may be attacked by the enemy at any time. Especially after Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet's First Carrier Division entered Subic Bay, German Navy had to be more vigilant.
Although, now German Navy still has the advantage. However, when I think about Island Nation's Mainland, those shipyards are building aircraft carriers and Capital Ships aggressively. Once those aircraft carriers enter service, this will bring great pressure to German Navy. Especially after two of Indian Ocean Fleet's four aircraft carriers sank, it increased their pressure.
If the other two aircraft carriers of Indian Ocean Fleet can be repaired as soon as possible and re-entered service, it will relatively reduce a lot of pressure on them. However, the most conservative estimate is that it will still take several months. The previous sneak attacks by Island Nation Navy's 'Amagi-class' and Battlecruiser's ships had caused them serious injuries.
"General, Telegram of the Capital Ships formation!" A Communications Officer handed Telegram to Lieutenant General William Canaris.
Lieutenant General William Canaris couldn't help but laugh after reading Telegram.
"The Capital Ships formation did a good job, killing two Capital Ships, two Light Cruiser and ten destroyers of the Island Nation. However, they themselves were struck by lightning from the Island Nation and lost four Light Cruiser and five destroyers. The Capital Ships formation of the Island Nation fleet was fleeing north, and the Capital Ships formation gave up the pursuit. In other words, the rest of the battle is left to us!" Lieutenant General William Canaris said.
"General, if we dispatch Carrier-based aircraft, there shouldn't be much of a problem in killing the Capital Ship Squadron of the Island Nation people. However, we have to be careful about the aircraft carrier of the Island Nation people. Island Nation's four aircraft carriers 1st Carrier Squadron have also left Subic Bay. You don't have to think about it. They must also be on the South China Sea at this moment. Maybe they are searching for our location now. "Rear Admiral Bürgel.
Lieutenant General William Canaris nodded. The four aircraft carriers Island Nation Navy 1st Carrier Squadron are indeed noteworthy. The four Island Nation aircraft carriers, the 'Ibuki' aircraft carrier and the 'Hotaka' aircraft carrier, carry up to 91 Carrier-based aircraft aircraft. The aircraft carriers 'Kurama' and 'Togakushi' carry as many as ninety Carrier-based aircrafts. The four aircraft carriers combined have a total of 362 Carrier-based aircraft. This is undoubtedly a quite large force.
On the other hand, German fleet's aircraft carrier Aries and Aviation Taurus each can only carry 103 Carrier-based aircraft. Adding the two ships together, there are only 206 in total. Compared with the four aircraft carriers of Island Nation Navy, there are 156 fewer aircraft carriers. This is undoubtedly a very scary gap. If the fleet is attacked by as many as 156 Carrier-based aircraft, then the final result may be that it is sunk.
"The Battleship formation has dispatched cruisers and destroyers to track the Island Nation people. If they can find their Aircraft Carrier Formation, that would be great. We can prioritize attacking their Aircraft Carrier Formation. If we can't find it, then we can only strengthen the air defense." Lieutenant General William Canaris said.
Major General Bürgel nodded. "General, we may be able to ask 5th Air Group to support a group of our fighter planes. There is no need for anything else. We only need to dispatch a group of fighter planes to escort the fleet after we release Carrier-based aircraft. It is best to use their FW-190 fighter jets. In that case, it will be enough to deal with the threat of Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft."
Lieutenant General William Canaris couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This was undoubtedly a good idea. With the reinforcements of the air force, their air defense can undoubtedly be guaranteed. In this case, even if Island Nation Navy's aircraft carrier team cannot be found, there will be no problem with its own safety.
"Contact the Air Force immediately, we need their reinforcements!" Lieutenant General William Canaris made an immediate decision.
