German Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet began to release Carrier-based aircraft. During the battle to intercept Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft group, some of German Navy's carrier-based fighters were lost. But it wasn't much, and it didn't have much impact on the fleet's strength.

In the first wave of attacks, each of German Navy's six 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carriers took off 12 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets, 18 Dive Bomber and 18 Torpedo Bomber. Each of the eight 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers took off 12 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets, 18 Dive Bomber and 12 Torpedo Bomber. The two 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carriers took off 6 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets, 12 Dive Bomber and 12-level Torpedo Bomber.

In the first wave of attacks launched by German Navy, there were 170 carrier-based FW-190 fighters, 276 Dive Bomber and 192 Attacker. The total number of Carrier-based aircraft groups reached 638.

It can be seen that although German Navy only invested 16 aircraft carriers in this battle, it was a full 5 less than the 21 aircraft carriers of Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet. However, the number of Carrier-based aircraft invested in the attack is fifty percent greater than that of Island Nation Navy.

The huge fleet sailed westward, heading straight for the position of Combined Fleet.

When Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet's air search Radar discovered German Navy's huge fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's expression changed drastically and he immediately ordered all his own air defense fighters to take off to meet the enemy.

However, the remaining air defense fighters of Combined Fleet are only 150 in total, which is not as many as the escort fighters of German carrier-based aircraft group. It is almost impossible to intercept such a huge Carrier-based aircraft group as German Navy.

A war broke out between German carrier-based aircraft group and Carrier-based aircraft, one hundred and twenty kilometers away from Combined Fleet.

The Zero fighter pilots of Island Nation Navy flew Zero fighter and rushed towards German carrier-based aircraft group, wanting to shoot down these Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy. But they were attacked by 170 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets from German Navy.

As soon as the two sides fought, Island Nation Navy's Zero fighter suffered huge losses. Zero fighter's weaknesses are fully exposed. German carrier-based aircraft group is flying at high altitude, which makes Zero fighter of Island Nation Navy have to fly to high altitude. Fighting at this altitude is originally Zero fighter's disadvantage. This caused Island Nation Navy's Zero fighter to suffer heavy losses under the attack of German Navy's carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets, and was unable to cause much damage to German carrier-based aircraft group.

Twenty minutes later, German carrier-based aircraft group discovered Combined Fleet. The huge Carrier-based aircraft group immediately dispersed and launched an attack on Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet.

"Prioritize the aircraft carriers of the Island Nation people, and then attack their Battleship. Finally, kill all their warships!" German carrier-based aircraft group Commander ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

The huge fleet of German Navy launched an attack.

"Open anti-aircraft fire! Shoot down Carrier-based aircraft of Germany!"

Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet immediately launched a counterattack, and Anti-aircraft Gun began to fire wildly one after another.

127mm Anti-aircraft Gun, 40mm Anti-aircraft Gun and 25mm Anti-aircraft Gun, all entered the battle.

However, the dense German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft in the sky are enough to make Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet despair.

In fact, when they discovered that their own air defense fighters had failed to intercept and suffered heavy losses, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto knew that they had lost this battle. Although each Combined Fleet warship is equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower, it is almost impossible to withstand the attacks of German military and so many Carrier-based aircraft.

"Boom! Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded. It was the bomb dropped by Dive Bomber of German Navy that hit the battleship of Combined Fleet.

One after another, the battleships burned in the explosion and then sank.

German Navy's Torpedo Bomber also joined in, and heavy aviation Torpedo were scurrying around in the sea one after another. One battleship after another was hit, and seawater poured into the battleships crazily.

"Dong dong dong!"

Island Nation Navy's Anti-aircraft Gun fired wildly, trying to shoot down German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft. However, it was suppressed by German Navy's carrier-based fighter jets. Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German Navy seized this opportunity and sent Island Nation Navy's warships to the seabed one after another.

1st Carrier Squadron and 2nd Carrier Squadron of Combined Fleet have become the main attack targets of German carrier-based aircraft group.

With the loss of the outer escort warships almost the same, German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft directly attacked the aircraft carrier at the core of the formation.

Under the massive Aerial Bomb and Torpedo attacks, the losses of Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet began to show.

Even though the aircraft carrier 'Taihō' was an armored aircraft carrier, it sank in the sea after being hit by 18 Aerial Bomb and 9 aviation Torpedo.

The aircraft carriers 'Shōkaku' and 'Zuikaku' followed suit five minutes after the 'Taihō' aircraft carrier sank.

First Carrier Division of the Combined Fleet The last aircraft carrier, the Dragon Phoenix, was also sunk soon.

The four 'Unryu-class' aircraft carriers of Second Carrier Squadron of the Combined Fleet also failed to last long. After the escort warships on the periphery of the fleet were sunk, the four 'Unryu-class' aircraft carriers were attacked.

One Aerial Bomb and Torpedo hit the aircraft carrier Island Nation Navy. Soon, these aircraft carriers sank into the sea amid raging fires.

Next, there are Third Carrier Squadron of the Combined Fleet, 4th Carrier Squadron, 5th Carrier Squadron, 1st Battleship Formation and 2nd Battleship Formation.

Especially after the second wave of Carrier-based aircraft group German Navy arrived, it dealt a devastating blow to Island Nation Navy. The fierce attack of hundreds of Carrier-based aircraft made Island Nation Navy unable to recover.

Even the 'Yamato-class' Battleship with strong defense was severely damaged by German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft's Encirclement Offensive and then sunk.

Although, 'Yamato-class' Battleship has a displacement of more than 70,000 tons and thick armor. But under the overwhelming attack of Aerial Bomb and Torpedo, even 'Yamato-class' Battleship couldn't sustain it.

None of these huge Battleships, which are symbolized by Island Nation Navys, escaped during this naval battle and were all sunk.

Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet was completely defeated in this naval battle!
