Chapter 1394: Ending the curtain (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 'Hotaka' has been sunk!" Major General Kusakaka Ryunosuke reported.

"I see!" Nagumo Chuichi clenched his hands tightly into fists, and his knuckles were a little white because of too much force. The nails were even embedded in the flesh of the palm, and they were already bleeding. However, Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

In the sky, the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy continued to launch attacks, and some **** warships of the island navy were burning or sinking. This time, the island nation's naval task force suffered heavy losses. The capital ship battle team sank three capital ships, and one was severely damaged. On the side of the aircraft carrier team, two aircraft carriers have already been sunk. Whether the remaining two aircraft carriers can escape safely is still very difficult to say. No one knows how much the German Navy's aircraft carrier will cost them in the next team.

"Boom!"

A destroyer was hit, and the entire bow was shrouded in smoke and flames.

There is no doubt that this ship has been battered to do it. Maybe it will be sunk soon.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi couldn't help but raise his heart in his throat. Because this destroyer is the outer **** battleship of the aircraft carrier 'Ibuki'. Once the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft sank the outer **** warships of the "Ibuki" aircraft carrier, they would definitely attack the "Ibuki" aircraft carrier. At that time, will the aircraft carrier 'Ibuki' be able to withstand it? In this regard, Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi has no confidence at all. The sinking of the "Togakushi" aircraft carrier and the "Hodaka" aircraft carrier has already caused a great shadow in his heart.

"Where's our carrier-based aircraft? Haven't found the German aircraft carrier yet?" Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi asked.

In the case of the Japanese Navy's 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron suffering heavy losses, Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi especially hoped that their carrier-based aircraft would be successful. In this way, they may be able to avoid failure.

"Your Excellency, our carrier-based aircraft group has failed. Both waves of carrier-based aircraft groups were intercepted by fighter jets of the Luftwaffe. The carrier-based aircraft was almost completely lost. The seven-ship attack is returning. The other carrier-based aircraft have been shot down by the Germans." Major General Kusakaka Ryunosuke reported.

Hearing the news, Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi staggered and almost fell to the deck. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him. The sinking of the two aircraft carriers has already caused heavy losses to the naval aviation of the island navy. Now, the loss of more than 300 carrier-based aircraft undoubtedly made them worse again. In the last naval battle, the carrier-based aircraft and pilots of the island navy's aircraft carrier team had been completely lost. After finally returning to China to supplement the carrier-based aircraft and pilots, I didn't expect to lose everything again this time. You know, the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the island navy are very valuable. It is not so easy to add again. In addition, the navy of the island country will soon have a new aircraft carrier in service. At that time, I am afraid that there will be an embarrassing situation where there are aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, but no carrier-based aircraft pilots!

"It seems that the gap between us and the Germans is too big, so big that it is completely beyond our expectations. Even, we are not ready for this war at all. In this state of war with the Germans, we really Can you win?" Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo has already doubted this war.

Major General Kusakaka Ryunosuke did not speak. It is not their decision for the island country to declare war on Germany. That is something that the upper-level rulers should consider. And what they have to do is to work hard to help the island nation win this battle. However, judging from the current situation, it may be very difficult for the island country to win.

"Your Excellency, Commander, although we have lost a lot, we will soon have new aircraft carriers and battleships in service. At that time, our strength will definitely be stronger than the Germans. We can still defeat them!" Grass Major General Shika Ryunosuke is full of confidence.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi didn't say much. Although he also knows that the strength of the island nation's navy will soon be further strengthened. However, no one can guarantee that the German Navy will reinforce the Pacific battlefield. In that case, it may be even more difficult for the island nation to win the final victory.

The third wave of the German Navy's fleet failed to sink the aircraft carriers 'Ibuki' and 'Kurama' in the end. There are too many escorting warships, and after one is sunk, other warships will immediately make up for it. This makes the island navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet have to spend a lot of ammunition on these **** warships. At the same time, the number of German carrier-based aircraft sunk by intensive anti-aircraft fire is also increasing.

After dropping all the bombs and torpedoes, the German Navy's carrier fleet had to return.

This also relieved Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi and others, and quickly ordered the fleet to evacuate at an accelerated pace.

In order to further cause greater damage to the island nation's fleet, the two aircraft carriers of the German Navy still launched the fourth wave of attack aircraft groups. It's just that at this time, the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the Japanese Navy has already fled north for a long distance. It is almost out of the strike radius of the German Navy's carrier-based fleet.

In the end, the fourth wave of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft group had to launch a round of attacks in a hurry, and then returned. Because if they don't return, they may fall into the sea due to exhaustion of fuel.

This round of attacks did not achieve much results, but only caused the aircraft carrier 'Ibuki' and 'Kurama' to suffer some aerial bombs and torpedoes. Although it was severely damaged, it was not actually fatal.

After this round of attacks by the German Navy's carrier-based fleet, this naval battle is over. Because the island navy's fleet has left the strike radius of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft. Even if you want to launch an attack again, it is impossible.

Although in the end, the aircraft carriers 'Ibuki' and 'Kurama' were not able to be sunk. But the German Navy still won a great victory in this naval battle. In this naval battle, they not only sank three capital ships of the German Navy, but also severely damaged another one. Of the four aircraft carriers of the Japanese navy, two were also sunk, and the remaining two were also severely damaged. In terms of heavy cruisers, four were sunk, and 11 light cruisers were sunk. There are countless destroyers lost.
