"Are our fighters ready to take off?" asked the base commander.
"Sir, two squadrons of fighters are ready for takeoff. The other two squadrons of fighters need to prepare."
"Then let the ground crew prepare immediately! Fifteen minutes later, the fighter jets of two squadrons will take off. After that, the fighter jets of the other two squadrons will take off immediately after they are ready. Those dive bombers and torpedo attack planes will also immediately carry out pre-take-off training." Get ready. Hopefully, you can get ready before the enemy's fighter planes arrive!" the base commander ordered.
Now he has no doubt that the war is about to start. Although the island countries and Germany have not declared war on each other at present, any fool knows that the enemy has adopted the tactics of undeclared war. Fortunately, the German navy has long been guarding against the island navy. Therefore, after the joint fleet of the island nation's navy went to sea, it immediately ordered all bases to enter the highest state of combat readiness.
"Yes, sir!"
The entire naval base on Yap Island has entered intense preparations. Everyone knows that war is coming. Although the war between Germany and Russia has begun long ago, it has nothing to do with these naval officers and soldiers stationed in the Pacific Ocean. They are also full of desire for war. Well now, their battle is about to begin, and they will soon be able to make meritorious deeds.
Soon, the air defense radar on Barbotuap Island also discovered the island nation's carrier-based aircraft fleet flying towards them. The naval base on the island also immediately entered the preparations for battle.
At 4:40 in the morning, the shore-based aircraft of the German Navy began to take off from the Yap Island Naval Base. The 24 BF-109 fighter jets of the two squadrons, under the guidance of the radar, flew towards the fleet of the island navy. It is estimated that after more than 20 minutes, they will encounter the island nation's fleet. However, the sky was not bright at that time, and it was very difficult to conduct air combat.
At this moment, the Mariana Islands, the four battleship battleships of the island navy, are already approaching the target. However, they did not launch an attack because it was not yet time to fire.
However, at this moment, the German Navy's bases on Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan have already received warnings from Yap and Balbotuap. Knowing that the navy of the island country has dispatched a large number of planes, these islands have also entered a state of emergency combat readiness. The ground crew is refueling the aircraft on the airport and adding ammunition.
When an island navy seaplane flew over Guam, it discovered this situation. The pilot immediately reported the situation to the flagship. Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida Zengo, commander of the 1st Battleship Squadron of the Japanese Navy, immediately ordered the fleet to attack. At the same time, they also took the initiative to break the radio silence, sent a telegram to the "Ibuki" aircraft carrier, and reported the news to General Yamamoto Fifty-Six.
General Yamamoto Fifty-Six decisively issued an order, requiring the four capital ship units to launch an attack immediately, and first destroy the German base on the Mariana Islands. As for whether their aircraft carrier-based air force can destroy the German naval bases on Yap Island and Balbotuap Island, it depends on luck. Even if it can destroy the target, its own loss will definitely not be small.
However, the battle has already begun, and the joint fleet of the island nation’s navy has no way out. They can only hope that the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the island nation’s navy can perform exceptionally and make contributions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
On the sea to the west of Guam, the four "Kii-class" battleships of the island nation's navy lined up in a row and were shelling Guam with their main guns. Each of the "Ki-class" battleships is equipped with five double-mounted 410mm main guns with a caliber of 45 times, and the firepower is very powerful.
Every minute and a half, forty bombs fall on the airfield of the German Navy on Guam.
Although, launching shelling at night, the accuracy of the island navy will not be too high. However, for a fixed target on land, if the location has been figured out in advance, it is only necessary to fire according to the shooting parameters. With the bombardment level of the navy of the island country, it was still able to accurately drop the shells on the airfield of the German navy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The explosion sounded on the Guam base of the German Navy, and the powerful naval guns easily left huge craters on the airport. Some fighter planes that were preparing for takeoff were hit or affected by shells, and they were martyred and turned into burning fireballs. After all, once these fighter planes that have just been refueled explode, they will be more terrifying than ordinary bombs.
The airport runway has become the key target of the island navy's battleships. As long as the airport runway is destroyed, these shore-based aircraft of the German Navy will not be able to take off.
"My God! This is definitely a large-caliber naval gun. We have been attacked! The despicable and shameless islanders are attacking us!"
"Take off, let the ready plane take off! If you stay at the airport, it will be completely destroyed by the islanders!" The base commander ordered with red eyes.
"Boom! Boom!"
Explosions continued to sound at the airport, and shells fell from the sky one after another, destroying the German navy fighter planes parked on the airport. The ground crew and pilots also suffered heavy casualties in the shelling of the island navy.
"Sir, the runway was blown up, and our fighter planes couldn't take off!" An officer reported.
"Damn! How could this happen?" The base commander's face turned pale. The fighter planes cannot take off, which means that they cannot fight back, or even evade.
"Retreat! Order all personnel to retreat immediately!" the base commander ordered.
There is no doubt that this base may not escape the fate of being destroyed when it is suddenly attacked by the capital ship of the navy of the island country. If you continue to stay here, you will only pay unnecessary casualties. In this case, protecting these pilots and ground crews has become the most important thing.
When the Naval Base of Guam was attacked by the navy of the island country, the islands of Rota, Tinian and Saipan in the north were also attacked by the main fleet of the navy of the island country.
These naval bases have just learned the news, and the fighter planes are also preparing for takeoff.
However, shells suddenly fell from the sky and hit the airport.
The unprepared German Navy's shore-based fighter force suffered heavy losses for a while. A large number of aircraft were destroyed before taking off, and pilots and ground crews also lost a lot. In addition, the airport was destroyed by the capital ship of the island nation's navy, and for a long period of time, these bases could not play any role.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
