Chapter 1236: Raid (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

On the afternoon of January 30, the combined fleet of the island's navy began to change щ{][lā} and instead sailed southwest in preparation for entering the western waters of the Philippine Sea. The Philippines alone is here, and the United States has naval and air bases in the Philippines that can provide them with intelligence support. If you spot a German plane or ship, you can notify them in advance to avoid it.

On the afternoon of the 31st, the navy of the island nation entered the waters of the central part of the Philippines. It is only a few hundred kilometers from the German-occupied Mariana Islands. At the same time, they received information that the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet were still in the Bismarck Sea in the south.

For the sake of safety, the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet planned to converge and then go north. In this way, they are a little stronger. If the two fleets go north alone, once they encounter the combined fleet of the island country's navy, they may have no chance of winning. Although the strength of the German navy is strong, the only ones that can be used against the navies of the island countries are the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet. Therefore, their strength is also very valuable, and it is undoubtedly the best to be able to not lose it.

It was precisely because of this conservative tactic of the German Navy that the Navy of the island nation was given the opportunity to sneak attack the Mariana Islands.

Of course, this is also because the German Navy did not expect the island country to be so shameless and bold and once again use the tactics of undeclared war to carry out a sneak attack on Germany. The German Navy paid a heavy price in the early stages of the war.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 31st, General Yamamoto gave the order to attack.

"Lords, lead your fleet and set out! Tomorrow morning at half past five, the attack. Destroy the airfields of the Germans in one fell swoop and get rid of them once and for all! General Yamamoto ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" The commanders of those warbands of the Combined Fleet replied one after another.

Subsequently, the various teams broke away from the main force of the fleet and advanced towards their intended goals.

Eight aircraft carriers of two aircraft carrier warframes, because they can attack from a long distance. They don't have to get too close to the target, they just need to take off the carrier-based aircraft in advance.

The carrier-based aircraft of the island country's navy, although it is not possible to launch an attack at night. However, after years of fumbling, they can equally take off at night. It's just that the risk factor is relatively high. If you are not careful, you may be killed.

But for the avid carrier-based pilots of the island nation's navy, this danger is nothing at all. As long as they can win the battle and let them sacrifice their lives, it is estimated that no one will refuse. Under the poison of the spirit of bushido, the carrier-based pilots of the navies of these island countries have become the most fearless of death.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the selection of pilots in the island nation. In island countries, both land-based and naval aviation are selected from among the elite. They receive the most rigorous training, but they also enjoy the best treatment. Even when the island's economy is in a tight situation, they are treated very well. This makes them willing to work hard for their country and regard it as their own glory. Even if they die on the battlefield because of this, they will not care.

The four capital ship squadrons of the island country's navy all set off. The 12 powerful battleships and four battlecruisers represent the most powerful capital ships of the island nation's navy at present. These battleships will be the most powerful capital ships in the world, at least until the more powerful 'Yamato-class' battleships enter service. At the moment, only the American and German navies were armed with equally powerful battleships.

The battleship "Kii" was originally the flagship of the Combined Fleet. However, now that the 1st Capital Fleet was going to attack Guam, the flagship of the Combined Fleet was temporarily replaced by the aircraft carrier Ibuki.

"From now on, the fleet will remain radio silent and will not be able to let the Germans discover us! In addition, seaplanes were dispatched to avoid the ships of the German Navy as soon as they were discovered! Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered.

There are still a few hours before it gets dark, and this time is undoubtedly more dangerous. If it is discovered by the German Navy, the German Navy will prepare in advance. Even if the fleet of the German Navy was still relatively far from the theater of operations, at least those planes on the Mariana Islands could be evacuated in advance. In this case, even if the island navy destroyed those airfields, the damage to the German navy would not be too great. It only takes a while for those airports to be fixed. After all, it is the planes and the pilots that are the most valuable.

I have to admit that the luck of the navy of the island country is still relatively good. When several capital ship squadrons were in action, they were not exposed. It wasn't until night fell that the island's navy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Order the fleet, keep it at the current speed!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered.

At the current speed of 20 knots, they would be able to reach Guam at about five o'clock in the morning, and with a little preparation, they would be ready to attack. Calculate the time, and it's almost just right.

Several other detachments of capital ships were also able to reach the intended target at about the same time and then launch an attack.

In fact, for the navy of the island nation, as long as it is not exposed before dark on the 31st, then the probability of their plan succeeding is much greater. Even if the German Navy had made a discovery, it would have been difficult to react.

At 3 a.m. on February 1, in the central waters of the Philippine Sea.

On the sea, the fleet of the navy of the island nation is brightly lit. The flight decks of the eight aircraft carriers of the two aircraft carrier fleets were incomparably bright under the searchlights.

One by one, with the help of ground crews, the planes were refueled, ammunition was hung, and they were ready to take off.

The pilots were listening to combat briefings.

At half past three in the morning, the first Zero carrier-based fighter took off from the aircraft carrier "Ibuki".

Subsequently, other carrier-based aircraft also took off.

Because the flight deck only has a through deck, there is no beveled deck. Therefore, the take-off efficiency of carrier-based aircraft is limited, so that the aircraft carriers of the navies of these island countries can only take off half of the carrier-based aircraft at a time. After these carrier-based aircraft have taken off, those parked in the hangar can be lifted to the deck with lifts and then take off.

But even if it is divided into two waves, the upper echelons of the combined fleet of the navy of the island country are still very confident in this. They believed that in the event of a surprise attack, the German Navy could not have been prepared. This time, they will definitely win.
