The battleship 'Mutsu' is burning, billowing thick smoke straight into the sky. The sailors dragged the water dragon and rushed to the fire, trying to put out the fire. However, the German fighter jets were shooting with aviation machine guns, and sailors were constantly being killed.

A large hole was blown out by a torpedo in the sideboard. After the damage control personnel worked hard, they found that there was no way to plug the hole. As a last resort, you can only choose to close the watertight compartment to avoid too much seawater entering. But even so, the hull was found to be tilted to a certain extent.

However, fortunately, the core cabin of the battleship "Mutsu" was not damaged. Otherwise, the consequences will be even more serious.

"Are there still bombs and torpedoes? Continue to attack, we will sink this battleship soon!" the commander of the German carrier aircraft asked.

"I've run out of bombs!"

"My torpedo was fired before."

The torpedoes and bombs of the German carrier fleet have been used up. With no other way, the German Navy's carrier-based fleet could only return.

"Go back immediately, reload the bombs and torpedoes, and then launch an attack to kill the warships of the islanders!" The commander ordered.

"Yes, boss!"

The German carrier-based fleet had to turn around and return, preparing to return to the aircraft carrier to refuel and add ammunition.

The capital ship team of the island nation’s navy breathed a sigh of relief after seeing all the German carrier-based aircraft groups leave.

"Your Excellency, the German carrier-based aircraft group has left." Major General Suzuki Yoshio looked like he was alive after a catastrophe.

Actually, sailors from many island countries have such expressions. Under the fierce attack of the German carrier-based fleet, they almost died in the sea. It is undoubtedly a very lucky thing to survive.

"The Germans just used up the bombs and torpedoes. They will come back soon. Command the fleet and turn immediately!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro ordered.

He didn't know whether he could escape the pursuit of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft this time. However, in order to survive, you still have to prepare as much as possible. In that case, there may be a chance of survival.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Suzuki Yoshio immediately went to give the order.

Looking at the surviving battleship battleship, Lieutenant Admiral Takasu Shiro wanted to cry. Not only did they lose the battleship 'Ise', but the battleship 'Mutsu' was also severely damaged. In addition, some cruisers and destroyers were lost.

The heavy cruiser 'Nachi' and the light cruiser 'Isuzu', which provided air defense protection for the battleship 'Mutsu', were both sunk. Coupled with the losses in the naval battle last night, the battleship of the island nation's naval task force has almost disappeared in name only.

However, fortunately, the German Navy's carrier-based fleet never returned and did not pursue them again. Because they have more important targets. That is the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the Japanese Navy. After the first wave of carrier-based aircraft returned, they refueled and loaded ammunition, and then took off to attack the island navy's No. 1 aircraft carrier team.

When the capital ship fleet of the island navy was attacked by the German carrier-based aircraft group. The 176 carrier-based aircraft that took off from the island's navy's No. 1 aircraft carrier team continued to head south, searching for the location of the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation.

It's just that they didn't know that the sea search radar on the German Navy's aircraft carrier had already discovered this huge fleet.

"Nearly 200 carrier-based aircraft, the islanders' aircraft carrier team has really lost their money!" Lieutenant General William Canaris had a very ugly face after learning of this situation.

Although, he is very confident in the air defense force of his own aircraft carrier battle group. But he knew that if he was a little careless, it might lead to the destruction of the entire fleet.

"General, the first batch of FW-190 fighter jets of the Air Force has run out of fuel and has returned. The second batch of FW-190 fighter jets will arrive soon to provide us with air defense protection." Major General Berger said.

"Can the 36 FW-190 fighter jets completely intercept the nearly 200 carrier-based aircraft of the islanders?" Lieutenant General William Canaris asked.

Master Bogle fell silent for a moment, and he also knew that this was impossible. However, all their own carrier-based aircraft have been dispatched. In addition to the air defense cover of the air force, only the fleet's own air defense firepower is left. Facing the large-scale attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese navy, their fleet's air defense firepower can certainly shoot down many carrier-based aircraft of the island country. But it is conceivable that under the attack of the islanders' carrier-based aircraft, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

"General, what should we do now?" Major General Berger asked.

"The islander's carrier-based aircraft is still more than 300 kilometers away from us. It will take at least 40 to 50 minutes for them to arrive. Send a telegram to the Air Force, and we need their emergency reinforcements!" William Carter Lieutenant General Naris ordered.

"Yes, General." Major General Berger immediately went to send a telegram.

After receiving the return call for help, the 5th Aviation Group immediately began to scramble fighter jets. At various airports, fighter jets that were ready to take off began to take off one after another, heading to the sea to intercept the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the island navy.

The German Air Force's BF-109 fighter jets are also very fast, and they can completely intercept the island country's carrier-based aircraft fleet before they can kill them.

Although, among the fighters of the 5th Aviation Group, currently only 5 squadrons of BF-109 fighters are ready to take off. But these planes took off immediately, and then accelerated to the battlefield.

Other fighter planes also began to prepare nervously for takeoff. They also hope to fly more fighter jets to provide the Navy with tighter protection.

Based on the performance of the fighter jets of the Luftwaffe, whether it is the BF-109 fighter or the FW-190 fighter, the performance can crush the Zero fighter of the Japanese navy. Even if the low-altitude dogfighting performance is not as good as the Zero fighter. However, under reasonable tactical arrangements, if the Zero fighters we fight are unable to fight back, then there is no problem.

Although the number of constructions taken off by the navy of the island country is very large, under the interception of a large number of fighter jets of the Luftwaffe, the carrier-based aircraft of the navy of the island country will inevitably suffer heavy losses. It is hard to say how many carrier-based aircraft can finally break through the interception of the Luftwaffe's fighter jets. However, the only thing that is certain is that the island nation's carrier-based aircraft fleet, which has suffered heavy losses, may hardly pose a great threat to the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation.

Lieutenant General William Canaris learned that the 5th aviation group scrambled to take off 60 BF-109 fighter jets from 5 squadrons to intercept the island country's carrier-based aircraft group at sea. And while more fighter jets were taking off one after another, his heart finally returned to his stomach.
