Chapter 1285: Discovery Island Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 1285: Discovery Island Aircraft Carrier
?? "Damn it, these islanders are all targeting us!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi's face became more and more ugly.
??The carrier-based aircraft of the navy of the island country continued to launch suicide attacks on the battleship 'Crown Prince'. This posed a huge threat to the battleship Crown Prince.
??Although the anti-aircraft fire on the battleship 'Crown Prince' fired violently, the other cruisers and destroyers escorting them were also firing desperately. However, it is still impossible to completely intercept those crazy island country carrier-based aircraft. After all, the possibility of hitting directly by flying a plane is undoubtedly much higher than dropping a bomb. Especially those zero fighters, their speed is faster than the bomber and attack aircraft, and it is more difficult to defend.
?? Fortunately, the Zero fighter did not carry bombs, and only relied on its own aviation fuel to detonate and burn to cause damage to the battleship 'Crown Prince'. Such damage is undoubtedly much smaller than being hit by a bomb or torpedo.
??However, if the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese navy continue to attack like this, the damage of the battleship 'Crown Prince' will continue to increase. In that case, even if the battleship 'Crown Prince' would not be sunk, it would be unavoidable to be severely damaged.
?? "Boom!"
??Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and the rear deck of the battleship 'Crown Prince' was shrouded in smoke and flames.
?? "What's going on?" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy raised his heart in his throat.
?? "General, a dive bomber directly collided with it. The No. 3 main turret was destroyed. At the same time, several cabins behind were also damaged to varying degrees." Major General Felix reported after understanding the situation.
?? "Damn it!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy couldn't help cursing.
??The damage caused by a dive bomber is naturally much higher than that of a fighter jet. In addition to the heavy bombs they carry, dive bombers also have a lot of fuel. These bombs exploded together with the fuel, which was very powerful.
?? "Great job!" Colonel Yamanaka Ryutaro couldn't help but cheered when he saw such sobriety. At the same time, he is very proud. Even if the performance of the German Navy's aircraft is far superior to theirs, so what? The bravery of island country pilots is absolutely unmatched by German pilots. They are willing to give their lives for the country. And precisely because of this, Colonel Yamanaka Ryutaro confidently believed that the final victory of this war must belong to them. Because the island country has the bravest and most loyal officers and soldiers in the world!
??If the island navy had a little more carrier-based aircraft, it might really be able to cause fatal damage to the German fleet. Under this crazy suicide attack by the island country's carrier-based aircraft, the battleship 'Crown Prince' has suffered heavy damage. Not only were two of the three main turrets damaged, but the superstructure also became riddled with holes and ignited a raging fire.
?? But fortunately, the carrier-based aircraft of the island navy were almost lost in the battle, leaving only the Zero fighter piloted by Yamanaka Ryutaro himself.
?? "His Majesty Onboard! The Empire Onboard!"
??Ryutaro Yamanaka chanted slogans and drove the Zero fighter towards the battleship Crown Prince. Moreover, his target was the bridge of the battleship Crown Prince. He wanted to get rid of the German generals in the bridge in one fell swoop. In that case, the navy of the island country can be regarded as a victory.
??As the captain of the aviation team, Colonel Yamanaka Ryutaro's driving skills are indeed superb. Although the anti-aircraft fire was dense, he dodged them all one by one. He drove the plane and directly crashed into the command tower of the battleship 'Crown Prince'.
?? "Go to hell, German!" Yamanaka Ryutaro shouted. He chose this way to die heroically, as if he thought he could become a **** because of it.
?? "Boom!"
?? The Zero fighter crashed into the conning tower of the battleship 'Crown Prince'. However, he did not directly crash the command tower as Mr. Yamanaka Ryutaro expected.
??The thick armor of the conning tower withstood the impact this time. After the explosion, of course, the faces of the German generals inside changed drastically, and many even fell down. But that's all. No further harm was done to them.
"Bastard! The damned islander wants to kill us all! He almost succeeded!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard was frightened for a while. He felt as if he was only one step away from **** just now, almost was killed. This made his vest wet with sweat.
?? "General, all the islanders' carrier-based aircraft have been eliminated." Major General Felix said.
?? Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard nodded, they were finally temporarily safe this time.
?? "Continue to return to the voyage! The battleship 'Crown Prince' will probably have to go back to the Lion City for a few months this time." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard said a little speechless.
??The battleship 'Crown Prince' had to be repaired, which left them without a major combat force again!
?? On the other side, on the aircraft carrier 'Ibuki' of the Japanese Navy.
??Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi reported the result of the carrier-based aircraft attack to General Yamamoto Fifty-six with an ugly face. When it was learned that nearly two hundred carrier-based aircraft were all lost, none of them returned. And when a battleship of the German Navy was severely damaged by a suicide attack, Admiral Yamamoto's face was also as dark as the bottom of a pot.
?? "Ryutaro Yamanaka and others are worthy of being the warriors of the empire. They are able to fight to the death in such a desperate situation. This kind of courage and spirit is worth learning for everyone!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
?? Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi nodded. Although their losses this time were very large, he had to admit that those pilots such as Yamanaka Ryutaro were indeed very brave.
?? "Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that we go north immediately. Don't wait for the news of the carrier-based aircraft group attacking the German aircraft carrier. Otherwise, we will be even more dangerous." Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi suggested.
?? General Yamamoto Fifty-Six thought for a while, then nodded.
??At this moment, neither General Yamamoto Fifty-six nor Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi expected that their positions had actually been exposed. In other words, the location of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the combined fleet of the island nation was discovered by a submarine of the German Navy. The submarine immediately sent a telegram, and then immediately dived to escape.
??By the time the aircraft carrier of the island navy detected the radio signal, it was already too late. The submarine of the German Navy has already escaped.
