Iron Germany
Chapter 1290: The Curtain Ends
"General, the 'Longxiang' was sunk. The 'Fengxiang' was also severely damaged and is about to sink." Sanhe Yiyong reported with a sad expression on his face. Although, these two are nothing more than light aircraft carriers. But the entire second aircraft carrier team has only four aircraft carriers.
Lieutenant General Kakuda Koji nodded. The loss of the two aircraft carriers made his heart feel like bleeding. However, he has no choice. Even the "Cangryu" and "Flying Dragon" aircraft carriers were under siege by the Germans, and it was only a matter of time before they were sunk.
"General, another batch of German planes has arrived, up to hundreds!" A staff officer reported.
Immediately, Lieutenant General Kakuda Koji's expression became even uglier. Under the siege of the German Navy's current carrier-based aircraft, neither the "Canglong" aircraft carrier nor the "Flying Dragon" aircraft carrier could escape. Not to mention that there are now hundreds of carrier-based aircraft, which undoubtedly makes the second aircraft carrier team of the United Fleet completely powerless!
"Woo! Woo!"
A shrill howl sounded, and eight dive bombers from two teams attacked the aircraft carrier 'Cangryu' again. The huge flight deck has become the best target for these dive bombers to attack.
"Urgent turn, avoid!"
The captain of the "Cangryu" aircraft carrier, Yamada Yoshinobu, is directing the aircraft carrier to avoid these aerial bombs. Although the "Canglong" aircraft carrier is already in danger. However, they are still working hard. Even if there is a little hope, they will not give up.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions continued to sound on the "Canglong" aircraft carrier, and the flight deck was easily penetrated by aerial bombs. The bomb exploded inside the aircraft carrier and ravaged the aircraft carrier, causing more damage to the aircraft carrier.
After being hit one after another, the aircraft carrier 'Canglong' has been severely damaged. Although this is a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of 20,000 tons. But after suffering three torpedoes and more than ten aerial bombs, the aircraft carrier still couldn't hold on anymore.
"General, the 'Soryu' has been severely damaged. The German attack is still going on, we may not be able to hold on any longer. Now the 'Soryu' is in a very dangerous situation, please evacuate immediately, General." Colonel Yamada asked.
Lieutenant Admiral Kakuda Koji hesitated for a moment. For his own honor, he should now choose to sink into the sea with the aircraft carrier 'Soryu'. However, he was very unwilling and didn't want to die. So, he nodded, and led Sanhe Yiyong and others to evacuate the 'Canglong' aircraft carrier. To be on the safe side, he didn't even go to the heavy cruiser and light cruiser, and went directly to a destroyer.
After all, once the aircraft carriers of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron are all sunk, those heavy cruisers and destroyers will definitely become the targets of German attacks. At that time, he will still be very dangerous. In comparison, the possibility of a destroyer being attacked is undoubtedly much smaller.
Less than ten minutes after Admiral Kakuda Koji left the aircraft carrier "Soryu", the aircraft carrier "Soryu" sank into the sea. Facing the intensive bombing by carrier-based and shore-based aircraft of the German Navy, the aircraft carrier "Canglong" could not hold on at all.
The last aircraft carrier "Flying Dragon" of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the Japanese Naval Combined Fleet did not last long. The performance of the "Flying Dragon" aircraft carrier is comparable to that of the "Cangryu" aircraft carrier. After being hit by torpedoes and aerial bombs one after another, the aircraft carrier also sank into the sea due to too much water.
This made all four aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy's 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron sink.
At this time, many of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft and shore-based aircraft still did not drop bombs. So, they set their targets on other warships of the 2nd aircraft carrier team. Those huge heavy cruisers and light cruisers have become the priority targets of these aircraft.
Although these heavy cruisers and light cruisers have relatively powerful anti-aircraft firepower. But after the aircraft carrier sank, these heavy cruisers and light cruisers were in a state of fighting on their own. Facing the siege of the German Navy's carrier-based and shore-based aircraft, they were even more unable to hold on, and one after another was sunk.
After the German Navy's carrier-based and shore-based aircraft dropped bombs and torpedoes, all the heavy cruisers and light cruisers of the 2nd Carrier Squadron were sunk. As for those destroyers, no one cares. No aircraft would waste ammunition on these destroyers until the heavy and light cruisers were sunk.
Although there are still a large number of destroyers left, the second aircraft carrier team at this moment has existed in name only. The four main aircraft carriers were all sunk, leaving only some destroyers.
"General, what should we do now?" On a destroyer, Sanwa Yoshiyuta asked with red eyes.
"Report to Your Excellency, Commander, and then, go back to the mainland!" Lieutenant General Kakuda Koji said with a lonely face.
After losing four aircraft carriers, a large number of carrier-based aircraft, and a large number of capital ships, the combined fleet has suffered heavy losses. Under such circumstances, the combined fleet obviously could no longer confront the German navy. Although the losses they caused to the German navy were not small, from the perspective of overall strength, the German navy has completely taken advantage.
When the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft and shore-based aircraft attacked the island navy's second aircraft carrier fleet, more than two hundred carrier-based aircraft that took off from the island navy's aircraft carrier also attempted to attack the carrier formation of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet.
But unfortunately, when these carrier-based aircraft were 300 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet, they were discovered by air search radar. As a result, hundreds of carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets took off from the aircraft carrier of the German Navy to intercept. At the same time, hundreds of BF-109 fighter jets took off from the base on Ponapei Island to intercept the carrier-based aircraft of these island countries. The final result was that the carrier-based aircraft of the navies of these island countries were all shot down without even seeing the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet. None escaped. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the navy of the island country.
Although the four aircraft carriers of the United Fleet's 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron eventually escaped. But on these four aircraft carriers, there are hardly many carrier-based aircraft left. The pilots were also nearly lost. These four aircraft carriers have also become appearances.
At this time, the tragic naval battle came to an end. The navies of the two countries are in this naval battle, and the losses are not small. But overall, the German navy still holds the upper hand.
