"Are our fighters ready to take off?" The base commander asked.

"Sir, the fighters of the two squadrons are ready to take off. The fighters of the other two squadrons needed to be prepared. ”

"Then let the ground crew prepare immediately! Fifteen minutes later, two squadrons of fighters took off. After that, the fighters of the other two squadrons took off as soon as they were ready. Those dive bombers and torpedo attack planes also immediately made preparations for takeoff. Hopefully, be ready before the enemy's fighter planes arrive! The base commander ordered.

Now he has no doubt that the war is about to begin. Although, the island nation and Germany are not currently declaring war on each other, fools know that the enemy uses the tactics of undeclared war. Fortunately, the German Navy has long been on guard against the navies of the island countries. Therefore, after the combined fleet of the navy of the island country went to sea, it immediately ordered all bases to enter the highest state of combat readiness.

"Yes, sir!"

The entire naval base on Yap Island is in the midst of intense preparations. Everyone knows that war is coming. Although the war between Germany and Russia had already begun, it was none of the business of these naval officers stationed in the Pacific. They are also full of longing for war. Now, their battle is about to begin, and they are about to be able to build up their feats.

Soon, the air defense radar located on the island of Balbotuap also spotted the carrier-based aircraft group of the island country flying towards them. The naval base on the island was also immediately ready for battle.

At 4:40 a.m., shore-based aircraft of the German Navy began to take off from the Yapu naval base. Two squadrons of 24 BF-109 fighters, guided by radar, flew towards the fleet of the island nation's navy. It is expected that in more than 20 minutes, they will encounter the island country's aircraft fleet. However, it was not very dark at that time, and it was very difficult to engage in air combat.

At this moment, the Mariana Islands, the four capital ship fleets of the island country's navy, have all approached the target. However, because it was not yet time to open fire, they did not attack.

However, at this moment, the German naval bases on Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan were already being warned from the islands of Yap and Balbotuap. It was learned that the navy of the island country had dispatched a large number of aircraft, and the islands had also entered a state of emergency combat readiness. Ground crews are refueling aircraft at the airport and refueling them.

This was discovered when a seaplane of the island nation's navy flew over Guam. The pilot immediately reported the situation to the flagship. Vice Admiral Yoshida Zengo, commander of the 1st Capital Ship Squadron of the Island Navy, immediately ordered the fleet to start attacking. At the same time, he also took the initiative to break the radio silence and sent a telegram to the aircraft carrier "Ibuki" to report the news to Admiral Yamamoto.

Admiral Yamamoto 56 decisively issued an order for the four capital ship detachments to immediately launch an attack and destroy the German base on the Mariana Islands first. As for whether their carrier-based aircraft forces can destroy the German naval bases on the islands of Yap and Balbotuap, it will depend on luck. Even if you can destroy the target, your own losses will definitely not be small.

However, the battle has already begun, and the combined fleet of the navy of the island country has no way to retreat, and they can only hope that the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the navy of the island country will be able to perform their extraordinary performance and make meritorious contributions.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

In the sea west of Guam, four Kii-class battleships of the island nation's navy, lined up, are shelling Guam with their main guns. Each Kii-class battleship was equipped with five twin 410-mm guns of 45 times the caliber of the gun, and the firepower was very powerful.

Every minute and a half, forty bombs fell on the airfields of the German Navy on the island of Guam.

Although, launching an artillery strike at night, the accuracy of the Navy of the island nation will not be too high. However, for stationary targets on land, if the location has already been figured out in advance, it is only necessary to fire according to the firing elements. With the level of artillery shelling of the navy of the island country, it was still possible to accurately smash the shells on the airfield of the German Navy.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The sound of explosions resounded on the German Navy's base on Guam, and the powerful naval guns easily left huge craters on the airfield. Some of the fighters that were preparing for takeoff were hit or affected by shells, and they exploded and became a burning fireball. After all, these fighters that have just been refueled, once they explode, they are even more terrifying than ordinary bombs.

The airfield runway has become the target of the battleships of the island country's navy. As long as the runway of the airfield was destroyed, these shore-based aircraft of the German Navy would not be able to take off.

"Oh God! This is definitely a large-caliber naval gun. We've been attacked! Despicable and shameless islanders are sneaking up on us! ”

"Take off, get the plane ready to take off! If you stay at the airport, you will be completely destroyed by the islanders! The base commander ordered with red eyes.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Explosions rang out over the airfield, and shells fell from the sky, destroying the German Navy fighters parked at the airfield. Ground crews and pilots were also killed and wounded in the shelling of the island's navy.

"Sir, the runway has been blown up, and our fighters can't take off!" An officer reported.

"Damn! How so? The base commander's face turned pale. The inability of the fighters to take off means that they cannot fight back or even dodge.

"Retreat! Order all personnel to retreat at once! The base commander ordered.

There is no doubt that in the event of a surprise attack by the capital ships of the navy of the island nation, this base may not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed. If you continue to stay here, you will only pay for unnecessary casualties. In this case, the protection of these pilots and ground crews becomes the most important thing.

When the Guam naval base was attacked by the island navy, the northern islands of Rota, Tinian and Saipan were also attacked by the main fleet of the island navy.

These naval bases have just learned the news, and the fighters are also preparing for takeoff.

However, the shells suddenly fell from the sky and smashed on the airfield.

The shore-based fighter units of the German Navy, which were unprepared, suffered heavy losses for a time. A large number of planes were destroyed before they could take off, and the pilots and ground crews suffered considerable losses. In addition, the airfield was destroyed by the main ships of the island country's navy, and for a long time, these bases could not play any role.
