"Germany people are here, prepare to fight!" Commander of Island Nation's Army Air Force ordered.
Radio equipment conveyed his orders to the ears of every pilot. In the past, Island Nation aircraft was reluctant to install radio equipment on every aircraft. However, with the support of Americans, everything is different. Moreover, the installation of radio equipment will facilitate the transmission of orders and is also very helpful for improving combat effectiveness.
The 36 Type 1 fighter planes accelerated their speed and rushed towards the direction of the Germany Carrier-based aircraft group. They must intercept German carrier-based aircraft group as far away as possible. Only in this way can the safety of the Navy's Capital Ship Squadron be ensured.
"Your Excellency Commander, our Type 1 fighter plane is probably no match for the advanced carrier-based fighters of the Germany people. The Carrier-based aircraft group dispatched by the Germany people is too large, with nearly a hundred aircraft, and the number of escorting fighter planes must be very large." Major General Suzuki Yoshio is a little worried.
Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō nodded, Type 1 fighter plane's performance in all aspects could not be compared with German Navy's carrier-based BF-109 fighter. The maximum speed of Type 1 fighter plane is only 492 kilometers per hour, which is far behind the BF-109 fighter jet. In terms of firepower, Type 1 fighter plane is only equipped with two 12.7 mm aviation machine guns. The BF-109 fighter jet of German military is equipped with two 20mm cannons and two 12.7mm aviation machine guns. Including things like climb rate, Type 1 fighter plane is also at a disadvantage. Once an air battle breaks out between the two sides, the result can be imagined.
"Order the fleet to enter air defense combat status! In addition, send Telegram to Army Air Force and tell them that the Carrier-based aircraft group of Germany people has arrived and we need more air support. Send a Telegram to the aircraft carrier team as well." Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō ordered.
If Army Air Force can dispatch more fighters to support them, and the aircraft carrier team can also dispatch a group of carrier-based fighters, then their safety may be guaranteed.
"Hi, Sir Commander!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio immediately went to send Telegram.
"Attention, attention! The Island Nation people's plane is coming up, prepare to fight!" Germany The first wave of Carrier-based aircraft group Commander issued the combat order.
"1st Squadron and 2nd Squadron attack Carrier-based aircraft of Island Nation people, 3rd Squadron covers Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber's penetration!"
"Understood!" the pilots replied one after another.
The 24 carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets of the two squadrons began to accelerate towards the 36 Type 1 fighter plane of Island Nation's Army Air Force. Although their number is only two-thirds of Island Nation's Army Air Force. But they didn't pay attention to these Island Nation people's backward fighters at all. The performance of both sides' fighter jets and the quality of the pilots have determined the outcome of this air battle.
"Dong dong dong!"
German military Carrier-based aircraft, who had a high advantage, launched the attack first. 24 carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets dived down from high altitude and launched an attack. A dense rain of bullets swept towards the Island Nation's Army Air Force fleet.
"Germany people have launched an attack, disperse!" Commander of Island Nation's Army Air Force ordered.
But under the blow of Germany Carrier-based aircraft, Island Nation's Army Air Force has already lost a lot of fighter planes without being able to prevent it. Several Type 1 fighter planes were hit by the Carrier-based aircraft cannons of German military and disintegrated in the air.
Type 1 fighter plane and Zero fighter have undergone weight reduction in order to pursue endurance. So much so that Type 1 fighter plane is a light fighter. The body structure is naturally not that strong. The power of the 20mm cannon is not small, and it directly shreds these Type 1 fighter plane.
The remaining Type 1 fighter plane quickly dispersed to avoid being attacked by German military's Carrier-based aircraft again.
"Don't worry about these Germany fighter jets, attack their Bomber first!"
Under the command of Commander, the remaining Type 1 fighter plane rushed towards Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German carrier-based aircraft group, hoping to first eliminate these targets that pose the greatest threat to surface warships.
However, German military's carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets were chasing them from behind.
"Dong dong dong!"
A BF-109 fighter bit a Type 1 fighter plane. The 20mm cannon opened fire. Several shells hit the tail of the Type 1 fighter plane, smashing the entire tail of the fighter. The fighter plane dragged black smoke and fell towards the sea. After falling on the sea, it broke into pieces.
The air battle became fierce. German military's BF-109 fighter almost overwhelmed Island Nation's Army Air Force's Type 1 fighter plane, and Type 1 fighter plane was shot down one after another.
Although Island Nation's Army Air Force wanted to give priority to Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German military, they simply couldn't do it. These Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber are also protected by BF-109 fighter jets. Not to mention that they have to face the pursuit of German military's BF-109 fighter jets. Many pilots of Island Nation's Army Air Force only knew how to escape for their lives and did not bother to attack Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German military.
"Baga! This won't work! If this continues, we will all be shot down by the Germany people." said a squadron leader from Island Nation's Army Air Force.
"There is no way. The performance of the Germany fighters is too advanced. We simply cannot compete with them."
"Damn it, we must find a way to shoot down the Germany people's Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, otherwise, the Navy's Capital Ship Squadron will be doomed!"
"The Navy's Capital Ships was sunk. What does it have to do with us? Why should we risk our lives for the Navy?"
At the critical moment when their lives were in danger, many Island Nation's Army Air Force pilots began to make a noise.
None of them were willing to risk their lives to protect the navy's warships.
"Okay, shut up! This is an order from a superior, we just need to obey it! Next, continue fighting. Even if it is shot down, we must ensure the safety of the Navy's Capital Ship Squadron!" Squadron Leader ordered.
With no other option, the pilots of Island Nation's Army Air Force could only grit their teeth and continue fighting. However, the entire air battle was almost completely one-sided.
Fighters of Island Nation's Army Air Force were shot down continuously, and German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft suffered very little losses. It often takes several Island Nation's Army Air Force and Type 1 fighter plane to be shot down before one BF-109 fighter jet is shot down. The losses of Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber are very small.
When all 36 Type 1 fighter plane of Island Nation's Army Air Force were shot down, Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy only lost four BF-109 fighters, one Dive Bomber and one Torpedo Bomber.
