More than two hundred carrier-based aircraft took off from eight aircraft carriers of the Navy of the island nation, flying in the air. Although the sky is still pitch black, it is impossible to marry. But the pilots of the navies of these island countries are not worried at all. It won't be long before dawn. They have plenty of time to group in flight and then attack their targets.

The carrier-based aircraft of the navy of the island countries are divided into three types, one is the Zero carrier-based fighter, the other is the Type 99 carrier-based crit fighter, and the other is the Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft.

The Zero is naturally a fighter that seizes air supremacy, protects fleets and fleets, is responsible for dogfighting enemy fighters, and suppresses enemy anti-aircraft fire. The Type 99 carrier-based critique aircraft is a bomber capable of carrying three 250-kilogram aerial bombs. Of course, there are still some gaps compared to the Stuka dive bombers used by the German Navy and the carrier-based Stuka dive bombers. The Stuka dive bomber was capable of carrying two aerial bombs weighing up to five hundred kilograms. If it is carrying two hundred and fifty kg of aerial bombs, it is capable of carrying four. The German Navy's carrier-based dive bombers all carried two aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms. This heavy aviation armor-piercing projectile will pose a greater threat to sea surface targets. Even a well-defended battleship or an aircraft carrier converted from a battleship could not withstand an aerial bomb weighing up to 500 kilograms. After the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, these heavy aviation armor-piercing projectiles will have a very terrifying armor-piercing ability.

The Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft is a torpedo attack aircraft, which can carry a Type 91 heavy torpedo, and can also carry aerial bombs for horizontal bombing and be used as a horizontal bomber.

After these carrier-based planes of the island country's navy attacked, both Lieutenant General Nagumo Tadaichi and Vice Admiral Tsunoda Tsunoji were very nervous. Although, they have been training for a long time and have practiced quite a few times. But this is the first time it has been dispatched in real combat. Whether they can succeed or not, the two of them have no bottom in their hearts.

"Nagumo-kun, we must have confidence in our carrier-based aircraft force. We launched a surprise attack this time, and the Germans were not prepared at all. In addition, the target of this attack was still a target on land. So, we're going to win! General Yamamoto said.

"Your Excellency Commander is right, we have a good chance of winning. However, the Germans should have air defense warning radars on those islands. I'm afraid that our fighters will be discovered by them from a distance of 300 kilometers. When the time comes, they take off carrier-based aircraft to intercept. Our carrier-based aircraft, perhaps, there will be some losses. Lieutenant General Nagumo Zhongichi said.

Germany is still at the world's leading level in the field of radar electronics. Their air defense alert radar, sea search radar are the most advanced. The detection distance and accuracy are far ahead of other countries. However, it was not clear to the rest of the world that Germany was initially able to use radar to direct the main guns of battleships. Now, German scientists are still conducting further research, allowing radar to guide anti-aircraft fire, such as anti-aircraft guns. In this case, combined with the proximity fuse, the German Navy's air defense network will become impregnable. If the navies of other countries wanted to attack the German Navy with carrier-based aircraft, it would be impossible to break through the German Navy's air defense network without paying a heavy price.

"Even if the German anti-aircraft alert radars were able to detect our carrier-based aircraft. But what can they do in an hour? Besides, counting the time, when our carrier-based aircraft arrived, it was just dawn. At that time, the Germans did not have time to take off many fighters. Our Zero fighter is also very advanced. Even if they were slightly inferior to the German fighters, they would be able to defeat them if they launched a siege. A small loss is nothing to us. There will always be casualties in war. As long as we can win at the lowest cost, it will be worth it for us. General Yamamoto said.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Zhongyi nodded, he also knew that there was no way out of the current island country. So, the only thing they can do is do everything they can to win. Only when victory is won, will the island nation have a future. Otherwise, their country probably wouldn't exist.

On the island of Yap, the base of the German Navy, a large long-range anti-aircraft warning radar is working. Invisible radar waves are emitted in all directions, scanning the nearby airspace and reflecting everything on the display screen.

The radarman yawned and stared at the radar display. This is a very boring task for radar soldiers. However, the importance of radar cannot be overstated. This made the German Navy attach great importance to these overseas radar stations. It was thanks to these radars that the bases of the German Navy overseas were protected from enemy attacks.

The naval base on Yap Island is home to hundreds of combat aircraft, half of which are BF-109 fighters, and the rest are dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft. Their first task was to fend off the enemy's attack, and only then did they actively dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft attack targets. The main task of dealing with the enemy's surface fleet will be carried out by the fleet.

At 4:15 a.m., bright spots appeared on the radar screen. The alarm device also remembered. The radar soldier, who was dozing off, woke up suddenly.

"What is this? Is it a migratory bird? No, it can't be a migratory bird, it's an airplane! The radar soldier's face changed dramatically.

He immediately grabbed the phone and asked the duty room of the base if there was any of his own planes returning. When he learned that there was none, the officer on duty at the radar station decisively sounded the alarm.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

A terrible siren sounded over the base, and the pilots of the German naval aviation, who were sleeping, were awakened one after another. They put on their clothes, shoes and socks as fast as they could, and rushed to the airport.

According to the combat readiness regulations, as soon as the alarm sounds, it means that the battle is about to begin, and everyone must be ready for battle.

The ground crew also rushed out of the dormitory and began to conduct pre-takeoff checks for the fighters.

A large number of air defense troops even ran to the anti-aircraft gun positions. Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, already aimed at the sky, ready to attack at any moment.

"What's going on?" The commander of the base also rushed into the command headquarters at the first time.

"Report, sir, the air defense warning radar has detected more than a hundred planes approaching at high speed, and we are currently only three hundred kilometers away." The officer on duty reported.
