Third Reich: I took over power

"boom! boom! boom!"

The battle started soon. The Third Reich Navy battlecruiser formation thought with absolute superiority and launched an attack on the Combined Fleet battlecruiser formation and the 1st heavy cruiser formation.

Facing the Third Reich Navy battlecruiser formation , Attacking, the Combined Fleet battlecruiser formation and the 1st heavy cruiser formation did not escape, but chose to fight head-on.

Four Amagi-class battlecruisers were in front, two Furutaka-class heavy cruisers and two Aoba-class heavy cruisers. The cruisers are behind, forming a battle line. There are also 12 Kamikaze-class destroyers waiting for opportunities on the left side of the battle line. If the situation goes bad, they will launch a lightning strike and attack with 533 mm heavy torpedoes.

533 mm Heavy torpedoes are so powerful that even the capital ships of the Third Reich Navy cannot withstand them. If they are hit, they will at least be severely damaged.

"Order all ships to fight back immediately! As long as we hold on until the carrier-based aircraft arrives, we can kill the German warships!" Vice Admiral Toyoda ordered.

He knew very well that with only four Amagi-class battlecruisers and four heavy cruisers, they were no match for the nine battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy. The reason why they did not escape , in order to hold down these nine battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy and buy time for our own carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack.

"Hi, General!"Hisamune Yonejiro Colonel replied

"boom! boom! boom!"

The 410mm main guns of the four Amagi-class battlecruisers and the 203mm main guns of the four heavy cruisers began to fight back.

For a while, explosions continued to sound on the sea, as if they were thundering.

However, the first The battlecruiser formations of the Three Imperial Navy had an absolute advantage in this battle.

Three G3-class battlecruisers dealt with three Amagi-class battlecruisers. Two O-class battlecruisers dealt with the last one. Amagi-class battlecruiser. The remaining O-class battlecruiser and three Admiral-class battlecruisers bullied the smaller ones and launched a crushing attack on the four heavy cruisers of the combined fleet. The displacement was not enough A 10,000-ton heavy cruiser, no matter in terms of firepower or defense, is far from a match for the 44,000-ton O-class battlecruiser and the 48,000-ton Admiral-class battlecruiser.

Even, The 203mm main guns of these heavy cruisers are simply unable to cause fatal damage to these battlecruisers. However, the 50 times caliber 380mm main guns of these battlecruisers can easily severely damage or even sink these heavy cruisers. Even the 150mm secondary guns of these battlecruisers can cause fatal damage to these heavy cruisers.

This makes the four heavy cruisers of the combined fleet in danger as soon as the battle begins.

"The battlecruiser Wallenstein and three Admiral-class battlecruisers were ordered to close the distance with the Japanese heavy cruisers. Get rid of them in the shortest time possible. Then, he participated in the siege of four Amagi-class battlecruisers of the Toyo people. We need to get rid of them in the shortest time and at the lowest cost!"Marshal Karl Witzel ordered

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!" Lieutenant General Martin replied.

So, when Marshal Karl Witzel's order was issued, the four battleships at the back of the battlecruiser formation of the Third Reich Navy immediately began to turn, taking the initiative to shorten the gap between the four heavy cruisers of the Combined Fleet. The combat distance.

This is undoubtedly a rogue tactic. When the combat distance continues to shorten, the hit rate will be significantly improved. These battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy have rough skin and thick flesh, and can withstand the Japanese attacks. Attack by the heavy cruiser's 203mm main gun. But the Japanese heavy cruiser can easily be destroyed by the 380mm main gun of these battlecruisers.

Once these heavy cruisers are destroyed, the Third Reich Navy battlecruiser formation They will have a greater advantage. They can assemble nine battlecruisers, launch a siege on the four Amagi-class battlecruisers, and quickly solve them.

Marshal Karl Weitzel did this to avoid as many nights as possible.

"Despicable Germans! It is shameless enough for them to use battlecruisers to bully our heavy cruisers. Now, they have even used such despicable hooligan tactics, which is simply too abominable! This is too much!"When Lieutenant General Toyota saw this situation, he couldn't help but cursed in anger.

"General, what should we do? The 1st heavy cruiser formation obviously couldn't last long."Colonel Hisamune Yonejiro reminded

"Send a telegram to the 6th Aircraft Carrier Group, we urgently need their support. Otherwise, we are dead! Vice Admiral Toyoda replied with a serious expression.

He knew very well that if reinforcements from the carrier-based aircraft group could not be obtained in time, the battlecruiser formation of the Third Reich Navy would be able to eat them up.

For the combined fleet, once The loss of four battlecruisers and four heavy cruisers will undoubtedly be a heavy blow.

"Hi, General!"Colonel Yonejiro Hisamune replied.

At the same time, in the sea area more than 300 kilometers away from the Combined Fleet battlecruiser formation and the 1st Heavy Cruiser Formation, the four aircraft carriers of the 6th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Combined Fleet were busy.

One was mounted on The carrier-based aircraft, which had been prepared for takeoff with the help of the ground crew, had been neatly parked on the deck and were ready for takeoff. Following the order of the formation commander, Major General Yamaguchi Bunjiro , , Zero fighter jets, Comet carrier-based bombardment aircraft and Tianshan carrier-based attack aircraft began to take off from the USS Seahawk aircraft carrier, USS Condor aircraft carrier and two Qianji-class aircraft carriers.

Because the number of carrier-based aircraft carried was not the same. Not many, so the number of aircraft taking off in the first wave was not large.

From the USS Seahawk aircraft carrier, five Zero fighter jets, five Comet carrier-based crit aircraft and five Tianshan carrier-based attack aircraft took off.

The Condor From the aircraft carrier, 8 Zero fighter jets, six Comet carrier-based critical strike aircraft and six Tianshan carrier-based attack aircraft took off.

On the two Qianji-class aircraft carriers, each took off 6 Zero fighter jets and six Comet carrier-based attack aircraft. Carrier-based critical attack aircraft and six Tianshan carrier-based attack aircraft.

The first wave of aircraft fleets included a total of 25 Zero fighters, 23 Comet carrier-based critical attack aircraft, and 23 Tianshan carrier-based attack aircraft.

And, in the first wave After the first wave of aircraft groups took off, the second wave of aircraft groups also began to prepare and would be able to take off soon. The scale was exactly the same as the first wave of aircraft groups.

In order to enhance the attack power of the carrier-based aircraft group, Rear Admiral Yamaguchi Bunjiro dispatched all carrier-based aircraft After going out, not even the anti-aircraft fighters were left behind.
