On the surface of the South China Sea, the battleship formation of the German Navy is cruising. Huge warships guard the two aircraft carriers in the center. When the "Aries" aircraft carrier and the "Taurus" aircraft carrier dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to attack the No. 1 aircraft carrier team of the island navy, the battleship formation assumed the air defense mission.
For the battleship formation, the island navy is too far away from them, whether it is a capital ship fleet or an aircraft carrier fleet. Therefore, in the current naval battle, they can only act as spectators.
Fortunately, in the battle last night, they sank two battleships of the island navy's capital ship team. This is already a very good result. If the aircraft carrier formation can achieve greater results in today's battle. Then, the German navy will win this naval battle.
On the battlecruiser 'Blücher', officers and soldiers are repairing the places hit by artillery fire. During the battle last night, the battlecruiser 'Blücher' was also hit by several shells. Although none of the hit places were critical, they also caused some damage. From the outside, the battlecruiser 'Blücher' also had a few big holes, making it look a bit embarrassed.
The sailors can only simply repair it now. Many of the other wounds need to return to the dock of the shipyard for repairs. However, because they were all minor injuries that were not fatal. So, it doesn't take much time.
On the bridge, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt and Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Abraham are drinking coffee. Now the battle has been handed over to the carrier-based air force, they just need to watch. For the two who have just experienced a big battle, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to rest.
"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram from the Army's 23rd Army!" A communications officer reported.
"Army's telegram?" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt was a little surprised. Generally speaking, the army rarely contacts them directly. Even if there is something, it is often sent to the Fleet Command first, and then the Fleet Command forwards it to them.
However, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt immediately began to read the telegram. After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt couldn't help laughing.
"Your Excellency, what's the matter with the Army?" Major General Abraham asked.
"The army wants us to dispatch, provide them with fire support, and support them in counterattacking the 18th Front Army of the Island Army!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt said.
After hearing this, Major General Abraham also laughed: "I'm afraid the islanders will cry this time. They asked their navy to reinforce them and use naval guns to tear apart our army's defense line. Now, our army I also made such a request. When the shells of our large-caliber naval guns hit the heads of the island army, they will definitely regret it very much!"
"Haha! Send a telegram to the 23rd Army and tell them that tomorrow morning, we will launch an artillery attack on the island army on time!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt said.
Between the German Army and Navy, although there were some conflicts. But on the whole, in this war, the two sides are still working together. Especially on the Pacific battlefield, they must support each other so that they can persist until the German army dispatches the main force to the Pacific battlefield. Therefore, the navy will generally not refuse the army's request.
Besides, in the eyes of Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt, this is just a small favor. With the strength of the fleet, it is easy to help. Besides, assisting the Army to defeat the German 18th Front Army is also a good feat.
"Let the fleet get ready, and we will set off after the battle of the aircraft carrier team is over. After the island navy is defeated this time, it should not threaten us again!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt said.
After the first aircraft carrier team of the island navy was severely damaged, in the next period of time, the German navy could walk sideways in the Western Pacific. As long as they are not attacked by the army aviation of the island country, their safety is undoubtedly guaranteed. Besides, the army aviation of the island country also suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Luftwaffe. Therefore, their actions in the South China Sea will hardly encounter any danger.
When the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation severely damaged the Island Navy's 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron, the German Navy's battleship formation immediately separated from the aircraft carrier formation, and once again went to the waters near Beaufort, preparing to launch shelling on the Island Army's 18th Front Army on time.
Time passed bit by bit. While the generals of the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army were still thinking about what they should do next, the German army had already started to do it.
The three most elite divisions under the 23rd Army of the German Army, plus the battleship formation of the Navy, this is already a force that can destroy the 18th Front Army of the Island Army.
When Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura was still dawdling, he didn't know that the crisis was about to come to them.
On the morning of April 16, the five battlecruisers of the German Navy's battleship formation, under the protection of a large number of cruisers and destroyers, had arrived in the offshore waters of Beaufort. They are cruising only ten kilometers from the coast.
Because it was only dawn just now, the 18th Front Army of the Island Army did not find the enemy on the sea.
"Command the fleet, get ready to fire! Let the islanders see how powerful our firepower is." Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt gave the order energetically.
"Yes, General!" Major General Abraham nodded.
On the sea, the five battlecruisers, 12 heavy cruisers, 16 light cruisers and 25 destroyers of the German Navy are all ready. The 210mm main gun of a heavy cruiser, the 150mm main gun of a light cruiser, and even the 105mm main gun of a destroyer are all powerful threats to targets on land.
"Fire!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt personally gave the order to fire, and the German naval warships on the sea began shelling one after another.
The three triple-mounted 380mm main guns of the battlecruiser 'Blücher' took the lead in shelling.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by the sound of violent shelling, heavy shells flew out of the barrel and hit the coast.
Other battlecruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers followed closely behind and began shelling. For a while, the sound of artillery rumbling on the sea was like thunder. The shells, like raindrops, hit the positions of the 18th Front Army of the Island Army on the shore.
