The 5th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Eastern Imperial Navy Combined Fleet has five aircraft carriers, including three Great Eagle-class aircraft carriers and two Flying Eagle-class aircraft carriers. The 4th Aircraft Carrier Group also has five aircraft carriers, including one Unryong-class aircraft carrier, three Zuiho-class aircraft carriers and the Dragon Phoenix aircraft carrier. The 3rd aircraft carrier group consists of five Yunlong-class aircraft carriers.

After losing four more aircraft carriers, the combined fleet has only 25 aircraft carriers left.

This time, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku directly ordered 15 aircraft carriers to launch an attack, which can be said to be a huge investment.

After receiving the combat order, the 1st Battleship Formation and 2nd Battleship Formation of the Combined Fleet immediately attacked, and under the protection of light cruisers and destroyers, headed for the northern waters of the Great Sea of ​​Food.

The aircraft carriers of the 3rd Aircraft Carrier Group, 4th Aircraft Carrier Group and 5th Aircraft Carrier Group began to take off carrier-based aircraft, preparing to launch an attack on the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Third Reich Navy.

"Warriors, the time has come to serve your country loyally and serve His Majesty the Emperor. Fight bravely for the empire!"

Under the orders of the generals, the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the combined fleet bravely piloted their fighters and began to take off from the aircraft carrier one after another. The first to take off was the Zero fighter, followed by the Comet bomber and Tianshan attack aircraft..

The Yunlong-class aircraft carrier has a full-load displacement of 22,000 tons, a maximum speed of 34 knots, and the number of carrier-based aircraft it carries has reached 72. Especially when overloaded, the number of carrier-based aircraft has increased to 87.

The five Yunlong-class aircraft carriers of the 3rd Aircraft Carrier Group have become the main force of this attack. Each Yunlong-class aircraft carrier took off 12 Zero fighters, 15 Comet bombers and 15 Tianshan attack aircraft. As the first wave of attack aircraft, the second wave of attack aircraft will be dispatched later. Compared with the first wave of attack aircraft, in terms of scale, except for the Comet crit attack aircraft and the Tianshan attack aircraft, one less each. There are 12 Zero fighters. At the same time, there are 5 Zero fighters left on each Yunlong-class aircraft carrier for use as air defense fighters.

The entire 3rd aircraft carrier formation dispatched 60 Zero fighters in the first wave , 75 Comet critical attack aircraft and 75 Tianshan attack aircraft. The second wave will dispatch 60 Zero fighters, 70 Comet critical attack aircraft and 70 Tianshan attack aircraft. In addition, 25 Zero fighters will be left. Provide air defense protection for the formation.

The five aircraft carriers of the 4th aircraft carrier formation also began to take off carrier-based aircraft. Among them, the No. 7 ship of the Yunlong-class aircraft carrier, the Kurama aircraft carrier, took off 12 Zero fighters and 15 in the first wave Comet critical attack aircraft and 15 Tianshan attack aircraft. In the second wave, 12 Zero fighters, 14 Comet critical attack aircraft and 14 Tianshan attack aircraft will take off. And 5 Zero fighters will be left as anti-aircraft fighters.

The Zuiho-class aircraft carrier has a full-load displacement of just over 14,000 tons, a maximum speed of 28 knots, and carries 30 carrier-based aircraft. When overloaded, the number of carrier-based aircraft increased to 36. Therefore, each In the first wave, a Zuifeng-class aircraft carrier took off 4 Zero fighters, 6 Comet bombers and 6 Tianshan attack aircraft. In the second wave, the same number of carrier-based aircraft will also be launched to attack. Each Zuifeng There will also be four Zero fighters left on board the Zuiho-class aircraft carrier as air defense fighters. The

Dragon Phoenix aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of more than 16,000 tons and a maximum speed of 26 knots. It carries the same number of carrier-based aircraft as the Zuiho-class aircraft carrier. Therefore, , the number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched is also the same as that of the Zuiho-class aircraft carrier.

The entire 4th aircraft carrier formation dispatched 28 Zero fighters, 39 Comet crit attack aircraft and 39 Tianshan attack aircraft in the first wave. The second wave of aircraft groups , will be the same number. In addition, the formation also has 21 Zero fighter jets for the air defense of the formation. The five aircraft carriers of the 5th aircraft carrier formation also began to take off carrier-based aircraft.

The Eagle-class aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of 21,000 More than a thousand tons, the maximum speed is only 21 knots, and it carries 30 carrier-based aircraft. Under the overload condition, the number of carrier-based aircraft increased to 36. Therefore, the scale of carrier-based aircraft dispatched by these Eagle-class aircraft carriers is the same as Same as the Zuiho-class aircraft carrier.

The Eagle-class aircraft carrier has a full-load displacement of 30,000 tons, but only carries 60 carrier-based aircraft. When overloaded, the number of carrier-based aircraft increased to 72. Therefore, each Eagle-class aircraft carrier took off in the first wave of 8 Zero fighters, 12 Comet blasters and 12 Tianshan attack aircraft. The number of carrier-based aircraft taking off in the second wave is also the same as that in the first wave. Moreover, each Eagle-class aircraft carrier also left eight Zero fighters as air defense fighters.

In this attack, the entire 5th aircraft carrier formation took off in the first wave 28 Zero fighters, 42 Comet blasters and 42 Tianshan attack aircraft. The second wave of carrier-based aircraft groups is also the same as the first wave. In addition, the entire formation also has 28 Zero fighter jets to provide air defense protection for the formation.

Under the order of Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, all three aircraft carrier formations took off a large number of carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack. Among them, the first wave of attack aircraft includes 116 Zero fighters, 156 Comet bombers and 156 Tianshan attack aircraft. The second wave of attack aircraft included 116 Zero fighters, 151 Comet bombers and 151 Tianshan attack aircraft.

Such a huge number of carrier-based aircraft is definitely beyond what the Third Reich's 4th aircraft carrier fleet can handle.

After all, these giant-class aircraft carriers of the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Third Reich also carry a very limited number of carrier-based aircraft.

Each Giant-class aircraft carrier can only carry 48 carrier-based aircraft. The eight Giant-class aircraft carriers combined can only carry a total of 384 carrier-based aircraft.

The hundreds of carrier-based aircraft launched by the three aircraft carrier formations of the Eastern Imperial Navy Combined Fleet were enough to swamp the entire fourth aircraft carrier formation.

After the huge carrier-based aircraft group took off, it completed its formation in the sky, and then rushed towards the 4th aircraft carrier formation of the Third Reich Navy.

The fleets of carrier-based aircraft were so densely packed together that they almost blocked the sun in the sky, leaving large shadows on the sea.

"Empire onboard! His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! This time, the empire will definitely win!"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto was very emotional when he saw the huge carrier-based aircraft group setting off.

He believed that with such a powerful carrier-based aircraft group launching an attack, the Third Reich Navy would definitely be unable to withstand it and would definitely pay a heavy price..
