Iron Germany

On the island of the "Cangryu" aircraft carrier, the commander of the Japanese Navy's 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron, Koji Tsunoda, frowned tightly. The chief of staff of the fleet, Sanhe Yiyong, stood in front of him with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Are you sure it's the radio signal from the German submarine?" Lieutenant General Tsunoda asked.

"Yes, General. Our radio department has indeed detected this radio signal, and it can be confirmed that a German submarine has sent a radio signal!" Colonel Sanwa Yoshiyong reported.

"It seems that our tracks have been exposed. If this is the case, there is no need to silence the radio. Send a telegram to the flagship, tell them our situation, and ask for tactical guidance! In addition, the fleet will immediately switch to air defense mode!" Kakuda Lieutenant General Juzhi reported.

He knew that once their positions were revealed, what awaited them might be an attack from the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft. In the case of heavy losses of its own carrier-based aircraft, it is undoubtedly very difficult to resist the siege of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft.

"Hi, General!" Colonel Sanwa Yoshiyuki replied. He also knows that the second aircraft carrier team of the island nation fleet has reached the most critical juncture. If they fail, they will pay extremely heavy losses.

When the "Canglong" aircraft carrier sent a telegram, the German Navy immediately monitored it. Confirmed their position once again.

On the aircraft carrier 'Ibuki', the faces of Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six and others couldn't help but become even uglier. Although, in the previous battles, their capital ships and carrier-based aircraft suffered heavy losses. However, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six still did not give up confidence in winning this naval battle. In his opinion, their aircraft carriers have not been lost. Of course, the losses in this naval battle were a bit large. But as long as they can return to their homeland and replenish the carrier-based aircraft, they still have very strong strength, and they have every chance to cause heavy damage to the German Navy again. It is not impossible to completely defeat the German Navy.

Now, the position of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron has been exposed, which undoubtedly poses a great threat to the United Fleet. If the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squad suffered heavy losses as a result, and even all the aircraft carriers were sunk, then the United Fleet would really lose in this naval battle. In the ensuing naval battle, they will also be completely at a disadvantage. It will become more difficult to defeat the German Navy.

"Your Excellency, the position of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron has been exposed. The Germans must have dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to attack the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron. What should we do now?" Major General Takahashi Iwang looked worried. .

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six also knew that this time the second aircraft carrier team was probably in danger.

"Nagumo-kun, can we withstand the German attack and keep the 2nd aircraft carrier team?" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six asked.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi shook his head: "Your Excellency, our carrier-based aircraft suffered a lot. Most of the remaining carrier-based aircraft were dispatched to attack the German aircraft carrier. Therefore, our escort fighter jets There are very few, and there is no way to stop the German carrier-based aircraft from attacking the 2nd aircraft carrier battle group."

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded, he knew what Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi said was correct.

"Your Excellency, Commander, even our 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron is in danger at the moment. Since the Germans have discovered the traces of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron, then they will definitely search the nearby waters with all their strength. And we are far away from the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron." , It’s only a hundred kilometers away. If the Germans increase their search efforts, they will easily find us.” Lieutenant General Chuichi Nanyun reminded.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six's complexion couldn't help but become even uglier. If the second aircraft carrier team is lost, it will be enough to make the United Fleet pay a heavy price. However, if even the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron is discovered and attacked by the Germans, the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron will also suffer heavy losses. Then, the United Fleet has completely lost this naval battle, and has no power to recover.

"No, the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron is very important, and we must not make any mistakes!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six immediately made a decision.

The four aircraft carriers of the United Fleet's 1st Battleship Squadron are all aircraft carriers refitted with battleship hulls. The defense is very strong, and the overall strength is also very strong. Compared with the four aircraft carriers of the 2nd aircraft carrier team, it is obviously much more important. If General Yamamoto Fifty-Six had a choice, he would rather lose the four aircraft carriers of the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron than keep the four aircraft carriers of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron. Although this is a bit cruel for the second aircraft carrier team. However, when there is no other way, abandoning the car to protect the handsome man is undoubtedly the most conscious choice.

"Order the fleet to evacuate westward at full speed immediately. After withdrawing from the strike radius of the Germans, contact the carrier-based aircraft to return!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six ordered.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the carrier-based aircraft that go to attack the aircraft carrier of the navy of the island country must be able to return alive. If it was shot down by German fighter jets or anti-aircraft fire, then there is nothing to say.

"Yes, Commander." Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi nodded.

"Your Excellency, Commander, General Tsunoda, do you want to inform me?" Major General Takahashi Iwang asked.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six shook his head: "It's too late to notify Kakuda-kun now. If we send a telegram, it will only expose our location, and it will bring us greater danger. I believe that Kakuda-kun You will understand our choice."

Major General Takahashi Iwang nodded without saying anything.

In fact, Lieutenant General Koji Kakuda knew very well what choices Yamamoto would make at the 56th National Congress. Therefore, he did not expect that the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron would send fighter planes to rescue them.

After ordering the fleet to switch to air defense mode, Lieutenant Admiral Kakuda Koji ordered the fleet to speed up and sail north. Try to distance yourself as much as possible. If you can escape the strike radius of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft before the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft arrives, you may be able to gain a chance.

However, Lieutenant General Kakuda Kuji soon despaired. Because, their air search radar has discovered a large number of incoming aircraft groups. This indicates that in less than half an hour, the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft will fly over their heads and attack them. In half an hour, the second aircraft carrier team can only sail 30 kilometers.
