Chapter 1549: Spring Decisive Battle

The carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy wreaked havoc over the German Navy's high seas fleet, and the German Navy's warships were not equipped with anti-aircraft weapons at all, making it impossible for them to resist the attacks of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft. This directly led to the fact that the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy became unscrupulous. Even fighter jets joined the attack on the high seas fleet.

The aviation machine gun of the 'Haidongqing' 2 fighter is certainly not very lethal for a huge warship. However, for those sailors on deck, it can bring fatal damage. So much so that the sailors who were originally sticking to their posts could only run back to the cabin in embarrassment and watch all this in horror.

"Torpedo! Circumvent the torpedo! "The sailors of the battleship 'Catherine' spotted the torpedo coming up at high speed from the port side of the battleship and gave a loud warning. These were four heavy torpedoes, dropped by four Osprey torpedo attack aircraft. They dropped torpedoes only 800 meters from the battleship Catherine, a distance that made it impossible for the battleship Catherine to dodge.

Despite the best efforts of the captain of the 'Catherine', an emergency turn was attempted. However, his efforts were simply in vain.

Four torpedoes, except for one missed, the remaining three hit the hapless battleship. One that hit the amidships of the battleship 'Catherine'. The tremendous force directly tore through the underwater armor of the battleship Catherine. At the same time, several adjacent watertight compartments were also blown into a mess, and sea water frantically poured into the battleship. Another torpedo hit the front of the bow of the battleship 'Catherine'. A large hole was blown directly in the bow of the ship. The last torpedo hit the ship's amidships again, so that the damage of the battleship 'Catherine' could have ended in failure.

Hit by three heavy torpedoes. It was entirely possible to take the life of the battleship 'Catherine'. The captain gave the order to abandon the ship as soon as possible, and if it was too late, it would be too late.

In fact, in less than five minutes, the battleship 'Catherine' capsized on the surface of the sea due to too much water. Then, the entire battleship quickly sank into the sea, leaving only a huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea. The most powerful battleship of the German Navy. And so it was sunk. The saddest thing is that this was sunk by Chinese planes, not dead in the battle between the battleships of both sides.

The battleship 'Catherine' was nothing more than the first battleship to be sunk. The remaining three battleships. There's no way to dodge it. In particular, the flagship battleship "Caesar" had already been damaged before.

The carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy once again launched an attack on the "Caesar", with two dive bombers and four torpedo attack aircraft. Almost simultaneously an offensive was launched. As a result, the battleship Caesar had to dodge torpedoes on the sea while dodging aerial bombs falling from the sky. Although the battleship Caesar managed to dodge the two aerial bombs, it was hit by two torpedoes. These two torpedoes severely damaged the battleship 'Caesar', and in particular, one torpedo directly blew up the steering engine of the 'Caesar', which undoubtedly pronounced the death sentence of the battleship 'Caesar'. After not being able to steer and the speed of the ship is also affected. Will it still be able to escape the siege of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy?

The captain of the battleship 'Caesar' asked Vice Admiral Heinrich to transfer. But. Lieutenant General Heinrich refused. Now transfer the command, is there still a need for this? This time, the high seas fleet is clearly more than lucky, and the transfer is useless.

Subsequently, the battleship 'Caesar' was again hit with two aerial bombs and two torpedoes. This time, the battleship 'Caesar' could not hold out any longer. Because of too much water, the hull structure also had big problems, and in the end it only sank into the sea. Vice Admiral Heinrich, commander of the High Seas Fleet, sank into the icy North Sea with his flagship.

The remaining battleships "King Albert" and "Regent Louitpol" did not escape this fate. Under the siege of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, the battleship "King Albert" was hit by four aerial bombs and four torpedoes, which directly killed him. The keel of the battleship was directly broken, causing the battleship to break in two and then sink to the bottom of the sea.

The battleship 'Louitpol Regent', was hit with six aerial bombs and two torpedoes. Despite the efforts of the sailors on the battleship for a long time, in the end the captain announced the abandonment of the ship. Since then, the four newest 'Kaiser-class' battleships of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet have all been sunk. Moreover, they did not inflict any losses on the Chinese Navy. Because the battleships of the German Navy did not have anti-aircraft weapons, none of the carrier-based aircraft that went into battle were damaged.

After the four battleships were sunk, there were still many fighters that did not drop bombs or torpedoes. So they turned their attention to the heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers of the German Navy. Until after all the bombs and torpedoes were dropped. The planes returned home.

The attack of the first wave of carrier-based aircraft sank four battleships, one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and two destroyers of the High Seas Fleet of the German Navy. It can be said that this operation was extremely successful. The last main forces of the German Navy's high seas fleet had been annihilated. Some of the remaining light warships are no longer insignificant. What's more, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft that will take off is already on the horizon.

The first wave of carrier-based aircraft ate meat, but only left a series of stubs for the second wave of carrier-based aircraft, which made the pilots of the second wave of carrier-based aircraft very dissatisfied. However, they also have no choice, who called the battleships of the Germans so unbeatable?

The first sortie of the First Aircraft Carrier Task Force undoubtedly made a good start. This made Major General Niu Zhiyuan very satisfied, except for a fighter plane that crashed due to a malfunction when he regretted it, there were no other losses. It can be said that they annihilated a formidable opponent at a very small cost.

If it were to destroy the four cutting-edge battleships of the German Navy in a traditional naval battle, the Reich Navy would also have to pay a certain amount of casualties. This also allowed those admirals who insisted on the cannon of the giant ship to see the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft.

Of course, this was probably the last large-scale naval battle. There were already not many capital ships left in the German Navy's High Seas Fleet. In addition, they were in an extremely disadvantageous position in the war, and they did not have the resources to build battleships anymore. As a result, the German Navy no longer had the ability to challenge the Reich Navy. The Imperial Navy will become the supremacy of the planet, and no one will be able to challenge the supremacy of the Imperial Navy.

When Prince Felix, the German Admiralty, received the news that all four 'Caesar-class' battleships of the High Seas Fleet had been sunk, he was dumbfounded, and he could not believe that such an outcome could be achieved. That's four of the newest 'Caesar-class' battleships! How could it be sunk like this?

The Chinese's approach to launching attacks with aircraft gave new inspiration to the German Navy. It's just that they don't have the opportunity to practice anymore.

Kaiser Wilhelm I and others did not say a word when they learned that four of the German Navy's cutting-edge battleships had been sunk again. They have become completely disappointed with the Navy. There is even a view at the top level in Germany that if the navy had been so useless, it should have used the saved funds to develop the army. Perhaps, the German Army will be able to use this to compete with the Chinese Army, and it will not be as it is now, and both the Navy and the Army will be suppressed by the Chinese at the same time.

Of course, if the German Navy had not developed its navy in the first place, they might not have challenged China's hegemony, and war between the two sides might not have broken out. It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world. The battle had already been fought to this point, and the Germans had no other choice but to continue to support it.

In March on the European continent, the cold winter gradually passed. The originally silent land battlefield once again broke out into a fierce war. In order to turn the tide, this time the German Army committed as many as five million troops on the Western Front, intending to push the front to the North Sea in one fell swoop. In this way, it will undoubtedly be able to disarm the bombing of the German mainland by the Chinese Air Force. The continuous bombing by the Chinese air force has reduced the cities of western Germany to ruins, which has greatly affected Germany's war potential.

It's just a pity, despite the fact that the German Army was well prepared. But the Chinese Army and its allies are just as prepared. They used one winter to build a strong line of defense. On this defensive line, there are not only fortresses, but also fixed firing points made of reinforced concrete, some anti-tank guns and heavy machine guns, which are deployed on the defensive line. After the German Army attacked, it was bleeding from the head on this defensive line, and even if it paid a heavy price, it could not tear this line apart.

At the same time, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force also launched an attack on the German Army, which made the German Army have to dodge the planes in the sky when attacking, and it was simply unable to exert all its strength in the attack. It would be even more impossible to break through the defenses of the Peace Alliance.

The decisive spring battle, on which the Germans had high hopes, lasted from mid-March to late April. The German Army never managed to break through the lines of the allies of the Chinese Army, but paid a huge price. By the end of April, the German chief of staff, Count Moltke, had to announce that the plan had failed. And this put Germany in an even more dangerous situation. (To be continued......)
