Chapter 1690 The Battle of the Southern Indian Ocean 5

"If this warship is built larger and equipped with more aircraft, then it may be possible to easily kill those giants outside the range of the battleship guns?" Looking at the Constellation aircraft carrier in the distance, Yoshikawa was a little distracted. At this time, their flight altitude was not high, so they were not discovered by the sailing German fleet. Unfortunately, a team of late German carrier-based aircraft discovered these assassins at low altitudes, and while thinking about the fleet's report, they launched an attack!

The German carrier-based aircraft team returning did not find the Japanese seaplane following behind. This time, the Japanese did not find the German carrier-based aircraft that they touched behind them. The two J-3s fighters were the first to be hit. After throwing out the load and using more than half of the fuel in the aircraft, the combat weight was greatly reduced and the flight performance was also improved a lot. At this time, the Japanese seaplane flying at a low altitude was like a stupid duck with one leg!

The two aircraft easily raided the two seaplanes into the sea, while the other seaplane was targeted by a Ju5 torpedo. After a series of low-altitude combat between the two sides, the Ju5 torpedo became the first carrier-based bomber to shoot down enemy aircraft!

When Yoshikawa finally approached the Constellation while flying his seaplane, he could even see the busy crowd on the deck. However, the J3S fighter circling and waiting for landing did not give him a chance. The seaplane was eventually beaten into a fireball more than 3,000 meters away from the aircraft carrier. Although the attack was easily disintegrated, for the German Navy, the Japanese's actions alerted them!

"Our aircraft fleet is being tracked. If we are facing the Royal Navy, we may not want to see it." Rodhart saw the Japanese seaplane that was destroyed not far away with his own eyes, and his face looked a little bad. At this time, the aircraft carrier Constellation was loading and refueling. If a bomb came down, it would be a trivial matter to destroy several aircraft!

"There is no way, the aircraft carrier is just an egg with a sledgehammer. It is powerful, but it is fragile." Kimmel said. However, at this time, they had no time to consider these subsequent issues. They quickly loaded the aircraft with ammunition and oil, and fired another wave before dark. Killing the Kasugao is the most important thing. At the same time, in order to narrow the distance with the Japanese fleet, the entire aircraft carrier battle group began to sail towards the Kasugao at the fastest speed after receiving the aircraft. At this time, the distance between the two sides had been pulled within 100 kilometers. It took about an hour for the carrier-based aircraft to reorganize and release the next wave of aircraft. During this period, the distance can be shortened by at least 20 kilometers!

"We are probably the only one left in this sea area." Saburo Yugu sighed at the empty sea outside. Fortunately, although the warships were destroyed, it seemed that the transport ships avoided the German attack. At this time, in the north, a black smoke column gradually became clear. With the help of the rangefinder at the top of the mast, the Japanese could already recognize that it should be the Gneesenau. At this distance, both sides could see the opponent, but the other party did not seem to plan to launch an attack.
