To the north of High Seas Fleet's Capital Ships team, a small fleet was heading south at a cruising speed of 12 knots. This small fleet consists of two aircraft carriers, four Light Cruiser and six destroyers. In front of the huge Capital Ships team, this small fleet is nothing. However, almost everyone in High Seas Fleet believes that this small fleet represents the future development direction of Imperial Navy.
In the last naval battle, two aircraft carriers attacked, one after another, Carrier-based aircraft, using Torpedo to severely damage and sink British Navy's Battleship, so that in the final showdown between the two sides, German Navy had the upper hand. Before this, Aircraft Carrier Formation's combat effectiveness was undoubtedly not recognized by others. After all, isn't it a joke to use those Carrier-based aircrafts that are like toys to sink Capital Shipss that are like hills?
However, the results of the naval battle silenced all those who questioned the aircraft carrier. Aircraft Carrier Formation used their brilliant record to prove to the world that the huge Battleship was simply vulnerable to the attack of Carrier-based aircraft. Even Battleship can be equipped with anti-aircraft weapons. But don't forget, the aircraft carrier's Carrier-based aircraft is still very crude. With the development of technology, Carrier-based aircraft will become more and more powerful. When Carrier-based aircraft can carry heavy Aerial Bomb and heavy aviation Torpedo, it will become a nightmare for all surface warships.
This time, all members of High Seas Fleet were dispatched. The aircraft carrier 'Vanguard' and the aircraft carrier 'Victory' were not far behind and joined this operation. Every member of Aircraft Carrier Formation hopes that they can achieve more results in this battle. After all, although the number of Carrier-based aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier this time remains unchanged, it is still 48. However, the performance has been greatly improved. The Carrier-based aircraft previously carried, except for the 12 fighter jets, were all Torpedo Bomber. This time it was different, the number of fighter jets was still 12. The other 36 aircraft are 18 Bomber and 18 Torpedo Bomber. These Bomber can carry the Aerial Bomb weighing 250 kilograms and perform dive bombing at a certain angle. The Torpedo Bomber can carry the 450 mm Medium aerial torpedo. It is naturally much more powerful than the previous Light Aerial Torpedo.
It is precisely because of this that the officers and soldiers of Aircraft Carrier Formation are full of confidence in this battle. They believed that when they launched the attack, they would be able to achieve more results than the last time.
On the island of the aircraft carrier 'Vanguard', Heinrich Marshal Prince was holding a cup of coffee and looking at Carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck. Last night, the ground crew had filled up the fuel for each Carrier-based aircraft, and mounted bombs and Torpedo. Heinrich Marshal Prince believes that the decisive battle between German Navy and British Navy will begin today. So, he asked the ground crew to prepare overnight.
On another aircraft carrier, the situation was similar. All Carrier-based aircraft are ready to take off.
"Marshal, orders from the flagship!" a staff officer reported to Heinrich Marshal Prince. There was uncontrollable excitement on his face.
"It seems that this is good news!" Heinrich Marshal Prince said.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The flagship ordered us to prepare for takeoff Carrier-based aircraft. An hour later, Carrier-based aircraft began to take off. The enemy is in the sea area about 150 kilometers south of us. There are enough Thirty-six Capital Ships, not only Capital Ships with Britain people, but also French and Italy people!" the staff officer said excitedly.
"Thirty-six ships? French and Italy people have also joined in, more than we expected before! However, this is also our opportunity! With so many enemy Capital Ships, it depends on how many of them we can eat. Tell the flagship that we are ready." Heinrich Marshal Prince was also excited.
Depending on the time required for the attack, Aircraft Carrier Formation can launch up to two rounds of attacks. There are a total of 96 Carrier-based aircrafts. After deducting fighter jets, a total of 144 attacks can be carried out. If you're lucky, there should be no problem in sinking about ten enemy Capital Shipss. This is already a huge victory for Aircraft Carrier Formation.
If Aircraft Carrier Formation can continue to attack when our own Capital Ships team starts a decisive battle with the enemy, then their results will be further improved.
Time passed little by little, and the two aircraft carriers of German Navy were waiting for the order to attack. Everyone seems to have seen that a lot of military exploits will be obtained soon.
On German Navy's flagship 'Bavaria' number Battleship, General Reinhard? Scheer and others were also making final arguments for tactics.
"My opinion is that after Aircraft Carrier Formation launched two rounds of attacks, the Capital Ships team attacked and had a decisive battle with the Allied Powers fleet. With Aircraft Carrier Formation's attack After two rounds of attacks, the Allied Powers fleet will pay the price of at least five Capital Ships being sunk. This will give us a further advantage," said Vice Admiral Hipper.
"Even after our Capital Ships fleet and Allied Powers fleet start a decisive battle, Aircraft Carrier Formation can continue to attack. When they drop bombs and Torpedo, they only need to avoid our warships. Of course, the prerequisite is that the pilots' bodies can bear it." Vice Admiral Spee said. After all, flying an airplane in combat is undoubtedly extremely exhausting in terms of physical strength and energy. Two rounds of attacks were enough to exhaust the pilots. But if you take a break, launching a third round of attacks is not impossible.
General Reinhard? Scheer nodded. "That's it, let Aircraft Carrier Formation launch two rounds of attacks first, and if there is still power left, launch a third round of attacks."
"Yes, General." Vice Admiral Hipper nodded.
When Heinrich Marshal Prince got the flagship Telegram, I was very satisfied. Although, launching multiple rounds of attacks in succession will make the pilots very tired. But as long as you pay attention to rest, it is not impossible. This also means that in this battle, Aircraft Carrier Formation can freely launch an attack. They will once again establish victory for German Navy in this battle.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Heinrich Marshal Prince issued the order for Carrier-based aircraft to take off.
On the aircraft carrier 'Vanguard' and the aircraft carrier 'Victory', a Carrier-based aircraft took off almost at the same time. Other Carrier-based aircraft also took off one after another.
