Chapter 1268

Published at 13th of February 2023 06:55:05 AM

In the waters south of Pohnpei Island, the aircraft carriers of the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet are gathered here. The four "Wilhelm the Great" aircraft carriers were cruising at a low speed under the protection of the **** warships. Now, the fleet's heading is northwest. With one's own main fleet already gaining an advantage, the next step is to find a way to further expand the results of the battle.

Once the sun rises, it's time for these aircraft carriers to perform. The carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier took off and launched an attack on the combined fleet of the island nation's navy, further destroying the combined fleet of the island nation's navy.

Although the main fleet of the German Navy has sunk many battleships of island countries. But there are still a lot of battleships left in the navy of the island country, and those battleships must be destroyed. In addition, the eight aircraft carriers of the Japanese navy were regarded by the German fleet as targets that must be destroyed. Only in that way can the German Navy be able to win this battle. Thus ensuring the security of Germany's colonies in Southeast Asia and Australia.

On the aircraft carrier 'William the Great', Admiral Alfred Savacht, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Lieutenant General William Machar, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet aircraft carrier, and Lieutenant General Walter Walzecha, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet aircraft carrier, are Talking and laughing. The battle situation is getting smoother and smoother, which makes them feel very happy.

"Your Excellency, Commander, General Otto Schneewendt is besieging the two 'Fuso-class' battleships of the Islanders. With the strength of our seven capital ships, the two 'Fuso-class' battleships of the Islanders can easily be destroyed." Sunk!" Lieutenant General William Marshall smiled.

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander, we will definitely win this naval battle. Those **** little dwarfs of the island nation cannot fight us at all!" Lieutenant General Walter Walzer said.

Admiral Alfred Savacht also had a smile on his face. When the Mariana Islands were attacked by the island fleet and suffered heavy losses, the German navy was undoubtedly very angry. The loss of more than 600 carrier-based aircraft, the death of a large number of pilots and ground crew, and the bombing of the airport undoubtedly caused extremely heavy losses to the German Navy. Fortunately, now they have mastered the initiative of the naval battle, and caused the island fleet to pay heavy losses.

"Yes, gentlemen. If there is no accident, our chances of winning this battle will be very high. If we can solve the joint fleet of the island nation's navy. Then, it is impossible for the island nation to march to Southeast Asia and Australia. In this case, the war in the Western Pacific will become very beneficial to us. We only need to wait for the victory in the European battlefield before we can attack the island countries with all our strength. There is no doubt that the scene in the last world war will be repeated. We will attack the island homeland to defeat them and make them pay for their folly," said Admiral Alfred Savacht.

The war between Germany and the island countries is undoubtedly the war between the navies. If the German navy wins, the island country can only defend its homeland. No matter how strong their army is, it is impossible to attack Southeast Asia and Australia across the vast sea without commanding the sea. Therefore, the German Navy very much hopes to win this naval battle. Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of German troops would have to fall into a hard fight.

Although, the combat effectiveness of the German Army is far stronger than that of the Japanese Army. However, the army of the island country has an absolute advantage in military strength in the Far East Pacific region. Once the island army is mobilized, the number of more than five million is enough to cause a headache for the German army.

At this moment, the radar of the 'FX12' air defense cruiser located on the outskirts of the fleet discovered several large targets forty kilometers away, and were approaching them at high speed. This attracted the attention of the radar soldiers and reported it immediately.

The 'FX12' air defense cruiser is a large air defense cruiser specially built by the German Navy to protect aircraft carriers. It has a displacement of more than 20,000 tons and is equipped with the most advanced air search radar and sea search radar. Although there are no large-caliber naval guns, it is equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft guns. The sea strike capability of this type of warship is only equivalent to that of a light cruiser, but its air defense capability is very abnormal. Each aircraft carrier is assigned a large anti-aircraft cruiser as the bodyguard of the aircraft carrier.

An aircraft carrier battle group of the German Navy, in addition to an aircraft carrier, includes a large air defense cruiser, two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, six destroyers, and two supply ships. During the battle, the supply ship will stay away from the battlefield to avoid being affected by the battle.

"Sir, the target is determined to be a capital ship. And their speed is very fast, at least 30 knots!" The radar officer reported.

"Damn! That must be the 'Amagi-class' battlecruiser of the islanders. I didn't expect them to come here. Report to the flagship immediately!" the captain of the air defense cruiser 'FX12' ordered.

When the telegram was delivered to Admiral Alfred Savacht, his expression was very ugly.

"Damn it, the islanders' Amagi-class battlecruisers are here. They didn't stay with their aircraft carrier, but came towards us. Command the fleet, increase to the highest speed, and evacuate immediately. And, the four aircraft carriers Battlegroup, disperse and evacuate!" Admiral Alfred Savacht immediately issued an order.

This move by the island nation's navy caught Admiral Alfred Savacht a little by surprise. The combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier is very strong. During the day, it can easily take off the carrier-based aircraft to besiege the enemy's capital ship. It can be easily sunk. However, it is night now, and there is no way for the aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft to take off. Facing the enemy, you can only choose to retreat.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. However, the speed of the "Amagi-class" battlecruiser of the Japanese Navy is too fast, can we escape?" Lieutenant General William Marshall's face was very ugly.

In the aircraft carrier battle group of the German Navy, whether it is a cruiser or a destroyer, the speed is as high as 30 knots or more. However, the speed of the aircraft carrier is relatively slow. Of the aircraft carriers currently in service with the German Navy, except for the "Constellation-class" aircraft carrier and the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier, which can reach a speed of 30 knots, the speed of the "Wilhelm the Great-class" aircraft carrier and the "Deutschland-class" aircraft carrier are all below 30 knots. Especially the "Wilhelm the Great-class" aircraft carrier, because it has been in service for almost 20 years, even after maintenance and modification, the maximum speed is only 27 knots.
