Chapter 1279: Revenge

    "Baga! Damn the Germans! Next time, I will definitely take revenge!" On the light cruiser ''Kuma'', Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro and Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio watched helplessly. The machine sank the battlecruiser ''Amagi''.


    Although the battlecruiser "Amagi" is a huge warship with a discement of more than 40,000 tons, it still failed to hold on under the siege of the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft. After suffering a lot of torpedoes and aerial bombs, it was sunk alive.


    Under the air defense firepower of the ind nation''s fleet, the carrier-based aircraft units of the German Navy also suffered certain casualties in order to sink the battlecruiser "Amagi". Two BF-109 fighters, a dive bomber and a torpedo attack aircraft were shot down.


    However,pared with the "Amagi-ss" battlecruiser, such a loss is undoubtedly insignificant. The cost of an ''Amagi-ss'' battlecruiser can build an aircraft carrier plus all the carrier-based aircraft. Such a loss undoubtedly made Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro feel as if he was bleeding.


    In addition to the "Amagi" battlecruiser being sunk, the other three "Amagi-ss" battlecruisers also paid a heavy price during the siege of the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft.


    Although the battlecruiser ''Akagi'' was not sunk, after being hit by two torpedoes, it was seriously flooded. If it weren''t for the carrier-based aircraft of the "Taurus" aircraft carrier that had finished dropping bombs and torpedoes, as long as they continued to attack, the battlecruiser "Akagi" could easily be sunk.


    The situation of the battlecruiser ''Atago'' is not much better than that of the battlecruiser ''Akagi''. Also suffered several torpedoes and bombs. The speed of the warship also dropped from more than 30 knots to less than 25 knots.


    The situation of the battlecruiser ''Kaohsiung'' was rtively better, but it was also hit by a full eight heavy aviation armor-piercing shells. Almost the entire superstructure was destroyed. But none of the injuries were fatal.


    It''s just that the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft has temporarily left. But all fools know that soon the carrier-based nes of the German Navy wille to attack them again. It is undoubtedly very difficult to say whether the second battleship team of the ind navy, which has suffered heavy losses, can withstand the attack of the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft. The final result is very likely that they were all sunk.


    "When will our carrier-based aircraft arrive?" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro asked. Now he is a little anxious, not sure whether they can survive the second round of attackunched by the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft force.


    "General, the aircraft carrier team is still in radio silence. However, I believe that after receiving our telegram, they will take off carrier-based aircraft to reinforce us. Now, those carrier-based aircraft should be on their way. The Germans After the carrier-based aircraft returns, it will take at least two or three hours toe back, and we still have enough time. If we are lucky, we may be able to escape." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said.


    Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro nodded, and now he can onlyfort himself in this way. Although one battlecruiser ''Amagi'' was lost, it would be a rare victory if the remaining three could be brought back. After all, with the shipbuilding strength of the ind country, it is easy to repair these injured "Amagi-ss" battlecruisers.


    "I hope our carrier-based aircraft can arrive in time!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro prayed secretly.


    After the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy returned, the ground crew began to refuel these carrier-based aircraft and add ammunition. The pilots took the time to rest and eat something to replenish their strength. Next, they had to carry out a second round of attacks.


    Admiral Konrad Abbrecht and others are still very satisfied with the attack of the carrier-based aircraft force. One was sunk, two were severely damaged, and one was hit in the middle. If the second round of attack goes well, there is a great possibility that the remaining three "Amagi-ss" battlecruisers will be sunk. In that case, the capital ship fleet of the Japanese navy will suffer a veryrge loss. In the ensuing battle, they simply could no longer confront the German Navy.


    With the efforts of the ground crew, the second round of attack by the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft force began after just over half an hour of preparation. These carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carrier again and headed straight for the second battleship team of the Japanese navy. The light cruisers and destroyers of the Indian Ocean Fleet have been hanging on the ind fleet, making it impossible for the ind fleet to get rid of it.


    At 9 o''clock in the morning, the second round of attack by the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft force began. However, at this time, 24 Zero fighters that took off from the aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy also arrived. This forced the German Navy to allocate 24 BF-109 fighters to deal with those Zero fighters.


    The Zero fighter''s air dogfighting capability is very powerful, but unfortunately, the German Navy simply didn''t give them this opportunity. During the fierce battle, the Zero fighters werepletely suppressed, and one after another was shot down. The losses were much greater than those of the fighters of the German Navy. Often the Zero fighter lost three, and the German Navy only lost one BF-109 fighter. It can be said that the two sides are not a heavyweight opponent at all.


    In addition to the long range, the Zero fighter is almost useless in front of the BF-109 fighter.


    While the fighter jets of both sides were fighting fiercely, the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft also began to attack the remaining three "Amagi-ss" battlecruisers of the Ind Fleet''s 2nd Battleship Squadron. The heavily damaged battlecruisers "Akagi" and "Atago" became the focus of siege by the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft. As for the battlecruiser "Kaohsiung", no one cares about it.


    The strategy within the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft force is naturally to give priority to sinking the ''Akagi'' and ''Atago''. If there are enough bombs and torpedoes at that time, we willunch an attack on the "Kaohsiung".


    Under the siege of the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft force, the battlecruisers "Akagi" and "Atago" were greatly traumatized. The battlecruiser "Akagi" sank into the sea after suffering 6 torpedoes and 11 heavy aviation armor-piercing shells again.


    Ten minutester, the battlecruiser "Atago" followed in his footsteps, suffered four torpedoes and 17 aerial bombs, capsized on the sea, and sank into the sea.


    Although the battlecruiser "Kaohsiung" was also attacked, because the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft did not have much ammunition left, it escaped a catastrophe.
