Over the northwest waters of Yapu Island, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft of the island country's navy has approached. However, the 24 BF-109 fighters that took off from Yap Airport have also been killed. It's a little past 5 a.m., and it's still gray with very little visibility.

The four aircraft carriers of the No. 2 Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the Navy of the island countries carried a relatively small number of carrier-based aircraft, and the 'Fengxiang' aircraft carrier, with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, carried only nine Zero fighters and 12 Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft. The 'Longxiang' aircraft carrier carried 15 Zero fighters and 33 Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft. Like the aircraft carrier Feilong, the 'Canglong' aircraft carrier carried 16 Type Zero fighters, 36 Type 99 carrier-based critique planes, and 21 Type 97 carrier-based attack planes.

In the first round of the offensive, they took off only half of their fighters, 28 Zero fighters, 36 Type 99 carrier-based critique planes, and 38 Type 97 carrier-based attack planes.

The low-altitude dogfight ability of the Zero fighter is very strong. However, this was known to German naval aviation for a long time. Therefore, the German naval aviation stationed in the Pacific Ocean, whether it was carrier-based aircraft pilots or shore-based pilots, knew how to deal with these Zero fighters. Also, there have been many rehearsals for a long time.

"Sir, discover the island plane!" In the ears of Squadron Leader Major Nix, the voice of the pilot was heard.

"Report the coordinates and prepare to attack. Brothers, these damned islanders are heading for our airport. In any case, they cannot be allowed to blow up our airfield. So, the first target of attack will be their bombers! Major Nix ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The other pilots replied.

"There's not enough visibility right now, so be careful when attacking, I don't want to get hurt. Alright, get ready to strike! Major Nix ordered.

"Yes, the Empire will win!" The pilots shouted one after another, and everyone was in high spirits.

A few minutes later, 24 BF-109 fighters of the German Navy swooped down from a high altitude and launched an attack on the carrier-based aircraft group of the island nation's navy.

"Knock knock!"

In order to ensure that the bombers of the island navy could be destroyed in the first round of the battle, the German navy's fighters used all their cannons when attacking.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

A Type 99 carrier-based critique plane was hit by a cannon shell and was blown to pieces on the spot, and the scattered fragments smashed into the sea, and the pilot was killed before he could even parachute.

One after another, carrier-based aircraft of the island's navy were hit, sending out clusters of fire in the air.

In this round of attacks by German naval aircraft, 11 carrier-based aircraft of the naval forces of the island nation were shot down.

The carrier-based aircraft group of the Navy of the island country was also startled and immediately dispersed, as if the frightened flock of birds.

"Yaga! We were attacked by the Germans! All Zero fighters, cover crits and attack aircraft, shoot down the fighters of the Germans! The commander of the carrier-based aircraft group of the island nation, Higashiichiro Osa, ordered.

The Germans shot down more than a dozen of their carrier-based aircraft in their first attack, which was undoubtedly a large loss.

The Type 99 carrier-based critique planes and Type 97 carrier-based attack planes of the navy of the island countries scattered and fled. And the BF-109 fighters of the German Navy were in hot pursuit. The maximum speed of the Type 99 carrier-based crit fighter is only 450 km, and the maximum speed of the Type 97 carrier-based attack plane is only 370 km. Such a speed in front of the BF-109 fighter is undoubtedly no different from a snail. It's easy to catch up. If it weren't for the fact that visibility is still relatively low now, those crit and attack aircraft would have only been ravaged by the BF-109 fighters of the German Navy.

Although, the Type 99 carrier-based crit fighter also has no weak air combat capability. But that depends on who the opponent is. In the face of the BF-109 fighter, a world-class advanced fighter, their strength is simply not enough.

The Zero fighters of the island country's navy were frantically pursuing them. But alas, the speed of the Zero fighter was not advantageous in the first place. At the same time, the visibility is now too low, and they are also greatly affected, and it is simply impossible to prevent the BF-109 fighters of the German Navy from shooting down their crit and attack aircraft.

"Damn! The fighters of the Germans were so fast that we simply couldn't catch up! ”

"Yaga, I'm bitten and can't get rid of it!"

A pilot of an island carrier-based aircraft shouted in horror that behind the Type 97 carrier-based attack plane he was piloting, a BF-109 fighter had bitten him to death.

"Knock knock!"

The BF-109 fighter's cannon fired, and several shells whistled in, blowing up the tail of the Type 97 carrier-based attack plane. Subsequently, the Type 97 carrier-based attack plane dragged the smoke and fell into the sea.

In the melee, the BF-109 fighters of the German Navy also suffered losses. After all, they targeted the attack on the crit planes and attack planes of the island country's navy, which inevitably gave the island country's navy's zero carrier-based aircraft a chance.

But even so, the exchange ratio is enough to make the carrier-based aircraft forces of the island country's navy feel distressed.

Twenty minutes after the battle broke out, the carrier-based aircraft group of the island nation's navy had already flown to Yapu Island. At the moment, on the airfield of the island, the remaining 24 BF-109 fighters are taking off urgently. The rest of the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft were transferred first.

Despite the efforts of the German Navy to intercept it, the carrier-based aircraft group of the island nation's navy dropped bombs on the airfield on Yap Island.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Violent explosions rang out over the airfield, the conning tower was blown down, and the runway was also blown up with potholes. Although German naval fighters were still slaughtering the carrier-based aircraft groups of the island navy, they could not stop their attack.

After all, their numbers were too small, and the attack by the island's navy was so sudden that they were simply defenseless.

Soon, the second wave of aircraft from the Navy of the island nation also arrived. The addition of the new force has made the destruction of the airfield faster by the island navy. Although the fighters of the German Navy shot down many carrier-based aircraft of the navies of the island countries, they were unable to save the airfield. In order to avoid running out of fuel and crashing into the sea, the fighters had to fly to an airfield located in the Caroline Islands.

When the airport on Yap Island was destroyed by the carrier-based aircraft group of the island navy, the airport on Balbotuap Island was also attacked by the carrier-based aircraft group of the island navy. Although the fighters of the German Navy that took off from Balbotuap Island also shot down many carrier-based aircraft of the island navy, they were still unable to stop them in the end, and had to fly to the Caroline Islands to escape.
