"Attack! Destroy the German capital ship!" Yamanaka Ryutaro shouted loudly.
Although, the number of bombers and attack aircraft that broke through the blockade of the German Navy's fighter jets was not many, only a total of more than 20. However, if you are lucky, it can also cause considerable losses to the German Navy.
"Hi, sir!" The pilots replied one after another. With the spirit of seeing death as home, they rushed towards the German fleet.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shells of the anti-aircraft guns exploded in the air, leaving clouds of black smoke.
A Type 99 carrier-based bomber was very unfortunately hit by a 105mm anti-aircraft gun shell. The entire plane turned into a fireball in the explosion and fell towards the sea. The pilot was killed on the spot.
"Damn it! The German anti-aircraft firepower is fierce, all aircraft pay attention!" Ryutaro Yamanaka's face was livid.
When the island country’s carrier-based aircraft was less than ten kilometers away from the fleet, those 88mm anti-aircraft guns also fired. The rate of fire of these 88mm anti-aircraft guns is much faster than that of the 105mm anti-aircraft guns, and they are also very powerful.
Under the intensive anti-aircraft artillery fire, several of the island navy's carrier-based aircraft were unable to dodge and were destroyed on the spot.
On the battleships of the German Navy, the long-range air defense is carried out by 105 mm anti-aircraft guns, and the medium-range air defense is carried out by 88 mm anti-aircraft guns. The short-range air defense is handled by 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 20mm anti-aircraft guns and 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns. This constitutes a far, middle and near three-layer air defense network.
As the island country's carrier-based aircraft continued to approach, the anti-aircraft firepower on the warships of the German Navy also opened fire. Anti-aircraft artillery shells and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets form a dense anti-aircraft fire network in the air.
In the absence of enough fighter jets to suppress these anti-aircraft firepower, the clumsy bombers and attack aircraft 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.
Ryutaro Yamanaka saw his own carrier-based aircraft being sunk one after another, and his teeth were about to be gritted.
A Type 99 blaster successfully broke through the air defense network and launched an attack on the German Navy's "Border Governor" battleship. The Type 99 blaster cannot perform large-angle dive bombing like the dive bombers of the German Navy. Therefore, the hit rate is naturally not much higher. Also, the probability of being hit is much higher.
"Go to hell!" roared the pilot, dropping the bomb.
The aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms hit the battleship 'Border Governor' on the sea in a parabola.
At this moment, the "Border Governor" is occupying, and has already begun an emergency turn to avoid this aerial bomb.
As expected, the battleship "Border Governor" successfully avoided the bomb. The bomb fell into the sea and exploded, splashing a high column of water.
"Baga!" Seeing such a situation, the pilot couldn't help cursing.
But then, he was hit by an anti-aircraft shell. The plane disintegrated directly in the air and fell into pieces on the sea.
Although the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the island navy were very heroic, they launched attacks again and again. However, in front of the German fleet's anti-aircraft fire nets, they were all smashed, and there was no sign of success at all.
"Damn! What should we do? The Germans' anti-aircraft firepower is much stronger than ours. If this continues, all carrier-based aircraft will be lost, and I am afraid they will not be able to threaten their warships." !" Colonel Yamanaka Ryutaro became anxious.
At this time, more than a dozen carrier-based aircraft of the navy of the island country arrived. However, these are Zero fighters. For those huge battleships, there is no threat at all.
In order to avoid being threatened by its own air defense firepower, Germany's fighter jets monitored these island country carrier-based aircraft from a distance. Once they want to escape, these fighter jets will pounce on them and shoot down those island country carrier aircraft.
Even if the industrial strength of the island country is not weak, it can continuously produce more carrier-based aircraft. However, these pilots are not so easy to train. The pilots of the island countries, whether they are pilots of the Army Air Force or the Naval Air Force, all take the elite route. That is to say, only the real military elite can become an excellent pilot. Although this makes the pilots of the island country very strong, it also makes it difficult to train pilots. Once lost, it is difficult to replenish. Therefore, the more island country pilots killed by the German navy during the war, the greater the weakening of the island country's navy.
"It seems that this time we can withstand the attack of the islanders without any risk." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
"Yes, General. Fortunately, our fighter jets came to **** us. Otherwise, as many as 200 island country carrier-based aircraft would really cost us a heavy price!" Major General Felix said.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy nodded again and again. Even though their anti-aircraft firepower is very powerful, if they are frantically besieged by carrier-based aircraft of the island navy, they are also very likely to be sunk. Fortunately, the fighter jets of the German Navy arrived in time and wiped out the main force of the island navy's carrier-based aircraft, which enabled the German fleet to easily resist the attack of the island navy's carrier-based aircraft.
No matter what, the island navy's attack was a failure. They did not cause any harm to the German Navy, but instead lost a large number of carrier-based aircraft and pilots. This is undoubtedly a victory for the German Navy.
"Boom! Boom!"
A Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft of the navy of an island country wanted to launch a torpedo at the battleship 'Crown Prince', but before the torpedo could be launched, it was hit by an anti-aircraft artillery shell. The plane fell to the surface of the sea and exploded.
"Damn it!" Colonel Yamanaka Ryutaro watched the attacks launched by his own carrier-based aircraft fail again and again. And the number of carrier-based aircraft is not much left. Except for the Zero fighters, almost all the bombers and attack planes were lost. Such a result undoubtedly made him unable to accept it.
However, how to break through the current predicament? He can't help it either.
"Sir! Please allow me to drive the plane to hit the German warship. There are a large number of German planes outside. Even if we retreat, it is impossible. Instead of doing this, we might as well sacrifice our lives for the empire!" A pilot said.
Ryutaro Yamanaka was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Okay, let's attack! The empire will be proud of you!"
