On the aircraft carrier Taiho, the flagship of the Eastern Empire Navy's Combined Fleet, the face of Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander of the Combined Fleet, has become very ugly.

The arrival of a large number of carrier-based aircraft groups of the Third Reich Navy has made the 3rd Aircraft Carrier Group, 4th Aircraft Carrier Group and 5th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Combined Fleet almost unable to parry. If this continues, I am afraid that all 15 aircraft carriers in these three aircraft carrier formations will be lost in a short time. This will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Eastern Empire Navy Combined Fleet.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the number of carrier-based aircraft groups dispatched by the Third Reich is too large. And, this may not be their full strength. Behind, there are a large number of carrier-based aircraft on their way. These aircraft carrier formations of ours may not be able to handle it."General Nanyun Zhong's face was ashen.

"idiot!"Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six couldn't help but cursed.

"What about our carrier-based aircraft fleet? How's the attack going?"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto asked.

Although they are facing a very big crisis now. Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku did not give up hope because of this. Instead, he pinned his hope on the attack of their carrier-based aircraft group.

Yamamoto Marshal Fifty-sixth hoped that the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Toyo Navy could cause huge losses to the Third Reich Navy. In this case, maybe they would have a chance to make a comeback. If not, they could also fight with the Third Reich Navy and lose both sides.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, our carrier-based aircraft groups are besieging the German aircraft carriers. However, the targets they have discovered so far are all Germanic Giant-class aircraft carriers. So far, we have sunk two Giant-class aircraft carriers. A siege is underway on the remaining six ships. General Nanyun Chuda said.

"Goliath-class aircraft carrier?"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto couldn't help but frowned.

The Toyo Imperial Navy also collected intelligence about the Third Reich Navy very well, and knew that the Titan-class aircraft carrier was only a light aircraft carrier, or at most a medium-sized aircraft carrier. It was the same as the main force of the Third Reich Navy. Compared with heavy aircraft carriers, there is undoubtedly a big gap

"What about the other aircraft carriers of the Germans? What about Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers and the latest Empire-class aircraft carriers?"Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku asked.

Obviously, these Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers and Imperial-class aircraft carriers are their main targets.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the carrier-based aircraft groups taking off from the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group and the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group have already found the Germanic main aircraft carrier group. However, our carrier-based aircraft group was intercepted by a large number of German anti-aircraft fighters and suffered heavy losses. In addition, their fleet's anti-aircraft firepower is also very sharp. If our carrier-based aircraft fleet were to kill them, the losses would probably not be too small!"General Nagumo Tadashi replied.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku's brows have furrowed.

He has obviously realized that the aircraft carrier formation of the Eastern Empire Navy Combined Fleet is completely at a disadvantage in this battle. They The carrier-based aircraft group was intercepted by the anti-aircraft fighters of the Third Reich Navy, and at the same time faced powerful anti-aircraft firepower, the losses were very heavy. In contrast, their anti-aircraft fighter aircraft against the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy The losses caused by the fleet were very limited, and even the air defense fighters of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th aircraft carrier formations had all been eliminated by the escort fighters of the Third Reich Navy's carrier-based fleet. The fleet's air defense firepower was also very powerful.. However, in terms of density and power, there is still a certain gap compared with the fleet anti-aircraft firepower of the Third Reich Navy. This also makes the fleet anti-aircraft firepower of the Combined Fleet unable to stop the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy. Attack. So much so that their aircraft carrier suffered very heavy losses during the battle.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. In this battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to achieve our intended goal."Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-six's expression also looked a little depressed.

"Marshal, no matter what, we have no retreat now, we can only fight with the Germans! Lieutenant General Fukudome Shige said.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku nodded:"Order all the carrier-based fighters of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group and the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group to take off." Subsequently, the formation switched to air defense combat mode!"

"Hi, Mr. Marshal!"General Nagumo Tadayama and Lieutenant General Fukurun Shige both answered.

A total of 98 Zero fighters from the 1st and 2nd aircraft carrier groups of the Combined Fleet took off and rushed towards the battlefield.

But at this time, from the 1st aircraft carrier group of the Third Reich Navy The carrier-based aircraft groups taking off from the six aircraft carriers of the aircraft carrier group also arrived. The two sides almost collided with each other.

Then, a fierce air battle began.

Among the carrier-based aircraft groups of the 1st aircraft carrier group of the Third Reich Navy, the escort There are a total of 96 fighter jets, which are almost the same as the air defense fighters of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group and 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group of the Combined Fleet. Coupled with the gap in the performance of the carrier-based aircraft and the capabilities of the pilots, the two sides have been fighting from the beginning. , the air defense fighters of the Combined Fleet were completely suppressed.

Under the attack of the escort fighters of the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy's 1st Aircraft Carrier Group, they suffered heavy losses and were unable to intercept this huge carrier-based aircraft group.

A large number of dives Bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, under the cover of escort fighters, attacked the 1st and 2nd aircraft carrier groups of the combined fleet.

Although these two aircraft carrier groups had ten aircraft carriers. However, the Third Reich Navy Among the first wave of carrier-based aircraft groups taking off from the 1st aircraft carrier formation, the number of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft reached 132 respectively. Such a huge number is enough to make these ten aircraft carriers of the Combined Fleet pay a heavy price.

More Needless to say, this is just the first wave of aircraft. There will be a large number of carrier-based aircraft on the way.

Once these carrier-based aircraft arrive, they will be enough to swamp all the aircraft carrier formations of the combined fleet.

"Anti-aircraft firepower, fire immediately!"The air defense commanders of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group and 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group of the Combined Fleet couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw the dark group of carrier-based aircraft rushing towards them, and immediately gave the order to fire.

"Boom, boom, boom!"Anti-aircraft guns of various calibers began to fire violently, and dense anti-aircraft firepower exploded in the sky.

A large number of carrier-based aircraft groups broke through the dense anti-aircraft firepower and rushed directly towards the Japanese aircraft carrier.
