Jagged Germany

Chapter 1274: The counterattack begins (ask for a monthly ticket)

??On the aircraft carrier "Aries", the commander of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet Konrad Abbrecht's face was so gloomy that it seemed that water could drip out. The Indian Ocean Fleet suffered heavy losses, which made him feel tremendous pressure. After all, the navy of the island country is too powerful. If the Indian Ocean Fleet loses too much, the Pacific Fleet will have to deal with the navy of the island country alone in the future.

"Your Excellency, the 'William the Great' and the 'Frederick III' have sunk. The 'William II' and the 'William III' are still under attack by the islanders. The Indian Ocean Fleet is already thinking about We tried our best to stop the four battlecruisers of the islanders. However, their capital ships went north like us, and there was no way to deal with the four 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers of the islanders." Oscar Kumetz The lieutenant general looked serious.

"We all underestimated the islanders. We didn't expect them to be so courageous. If not, the situation of this naval battle will really be overturned by them." Admiral Konrad Abbrecht said .

??The other Pacific Fleet generals all nodded. When the main fleet of the German Navy severely damaged the navy of the island country, they originally thought that the German Navy would have an absolute advantage in this naval battle. But what I didn't expect was that in a short period of time, the navy of the island country caused them such a large loss.

"General William Canaris, it's up to you next! Not only do you have to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to kill the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers of the Islanders. At the same time, you must also dispatch carrier-based aircraft to search for the aircraft carrier fleet of the Islanders If you find them, you must kill them! Otherwise, we will be at a disadvantage in terms of aircraft carriers!" Admiral Konrad Abbrecht said.

"Yes, Commander. The first wave of fighters we take off will be used to deal with the four 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers of the Japanese. The second wave of fighters will be used to deal with the aircraft carriers of the Japanese. Our 'constellation' class' aircraft carriers, each of which can carry 103 carrier-based aircraft, far more than the islanders' aircraft carriers. In addition, our carrier-based aircraft are far stronger than theirs. Therefore, even if there is no Indian Ocean With the assistance of the fleet's aircraft carrier formation, we can also defeat the islanders!" Lieutenant General William Canaris said proudly.

?? Indeed, the German Navy's "Constellation-class" aircraft carrier has a very strong overall strength. The defense may not be as good as those large aircraft carriers modified with capital ship hulls in the navy of the island country. However, the attack power is far above it.

??Admiral Konrad Abbrecht nodded. Of course he is clear about the strength of his own aircraft carrier formation. However, it has been proved from previous naval battles that the navy of the island country is not so easy to deal with. So, he doesn't dare to be careless now.

"Notify the base on Pohnpei Island and ask them to prepare the No. 1 aircraft. After dawn, they will send combat aircraft to provide air defense for the battleship formation, so as not to be attacked by the islanders. At the same time, bombers and torpedo attack aircraft will be dispatched to attack the islanders. This time, we must do our best to sink more aircraft carriers of the islanders. Otherwise, the next battle will be even more difficult to fight!" Admiral Konrad Abbrecht ordered.

?? "Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Oscar Kumetz nodded.

?? "Fortunately, we still have a lot of planes on Ponapei Island. Otherwise, we will be quite difficult in this battle." Admiral Konrad Abbrecht said a little speechlessly.

??The other German generals also nodded.

?? Everyone may not have thought that this battle would push them to this point. Originally, everyone thought it would be a very easy battle. With the strength of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, combined with the German Navy's bases in the Pacific Ocean, it is enough to have a crushing advantage over the combined fleet of island navies. But the island nation's fleet is so powerful that it caused heavy losses to the German navy, and there are signs of a comeback.

?? Time passed little by little, and soon it was 5 o'clock in the morning. Although the sky is still not bright, it is no longer as dark as before.

?? "Your Excellency, the carrier-based aircraft can take off!" Lieutenant General William Canaris reported.

?? Admiral Konrad Albrecht nodded: "Let's go!"

??The first carrier-based BF-109 fighter took off from the "Aries" aircraft carrier, and other carrier-based aircraft followed suit and took off one after another. Each of the four aircraft carriers took off 12 carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets. In order to increase the range, these fighters are hung with auxiliary fuel tanks. In addition, there are 12 dive bombers and 12 torpedo attack aircraft.

??These carrier-based aircraft formed a huge fleet of 144 carrier-based aircraft. They rushed straight to the west sea area, trying to eliminate all the four "Amagi-class" battlecruisers of the island navy.

??After the first wave of carrier-based aircraft took off, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft took off immediately. This time, each aircraft carrier will take off 12 carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets, and they will go to **** the battleship formation of the German Navy to ensure their safe return. In order to prevent the battleship formation from being besieged by the carrier-based aircraft of the navy of the island country, a group of fighter jets will also be launched from the base on Pohnpei Island to protect them. The last batch to take off were 12 carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets, 24 dive bombers and 12 torpedo attack aircraft. This larger fleet is preparing to bomb the aircraft carrier of the island navy.

??Although, it is not clear where the aircraft carrier of the island navy is hiding. But what is certain is that they must be in the waters northwest or north of Ponapei Island. Many seaplanes have already set off before. After dawn, they will focus on searching that sea area to find out the aircraft carrier fleet of the island navy. Then, report to the flagship by radio, and then forward it to the take-off carrier aircraft fleet to ensure that they can arrive in the shortest possible time and launch an attack.

??The three airports on Pohnpei Island are also brightly lit. One after another the planes have completed their pre-flight preparations. After receiving the order to take off, the planes here started to take off one after another. There are more than 400 combat aircraft on the entire Ponapei Island. Although, mostly fighter jets. However, the dive bombers of the two brigades and the torpedo attack aircraft of the two brigades are still quite terrifying strike forces against the sea. Enough to pose a deadly threat to the island fleet.
