w"Fighting Alarm!Fighting Alarm!"

"All fighters are ready to take off! All fighters are ready to take off!"

"Repeat! This is not an exercise!"

The rapid combat alarm sounded throughout the sky, and the Taishan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was busy. Trailers flashed with yellow lights, quickly dragging each fighter out of the hangar, and then transported it to the outer deck of the aircraft carrier. The air crew on the flight deck skillfully refueled, mounted bullets, flight safety inspections and other operations, performing their own responsibilities and operating in an orderly manner.

After all aircraft of each combat squadron have completed all inspections, the well-dressed pilots will line up to their respective fighter planes and board for the final inspection.

"Call the tower, the Skeleton Team requests takeoff!"

"The waterway is unobstructed, runway 1 and 2 are allowed to take off!"

"The Skeleton Team understands!"

"I wish you a victory!"

"Thank you! Victory is with me!"

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Colonel Luo Fei, the captain of the Skeleton Brigade, opened the internal communication channel of the brigade and ordered the squadrons to prepare for takeoff.

Two F6 Wildcat carrier-based fighters are arranged side by side on the takeoff runway. In addition to being painted with the logo of the Imperial Chinese Navy Aviation, a black skeleton logo at the conspicuous tail is particularly eye-catching.

As a member of the Imperial Naval Air Force, the Skeleton Brigade is the ace among the aces. Since the first aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy, the Skeleton Brigade has been born with it. It can be said to be a battle-produced ace force.

As the 17th captain of the Skeleton Team, Colonel Luo Fei will lead the Skeleton Team to serve as the Sharp Knife in the first attack echelon battle group to attack the German High Seas Fleet aircraft carrier battle group. For Luo Fei and even all the pilots of the entire Skeleton Team, they have been waiting for this day for too long and are excited.

The high flame blocking plate rose, and the air crew skillfully hung a steam ejection hook on the fighter plane and made a gesture to allow takeoff.

"The Skeleton Team is attacking!"

"receive!"

With the violent jets, the fighter jets were quickly ejected with the help of the steam catapult.

The Skeleton Brigade's 100 fighter jets were divided into fifty groups, and two of them were ejected and taken off at the same time. The aircraft carrier elites who had been trained over more than 30 years have completed their takeoff operations in just one and a half hours.

After the last two fighter jets took off to the aerial assembly point, the entire Skeleton Brigade quickly set off a high, medium and low-altitude fishing net formation and rushed directly to the oncoming German High Seas Fleet.

The Skeleton Team was only part of the attack echelon, and the other nine brigades also took off from their respective aircraft carriers one after another. After completing the assembly in the air, they rushed to the enemy fleet with the Skeleton Team.

Since most of the fighter jets of the High Seas Fleet's aircraft carrier battle group flew to the airspace preset by Li Dingxin, at this time, there were less than 300 fighter jets of the High Seas Fleet's aircraft carrier battle group for escort surveillance missions. All of them were old-fashioned propeller carrier-based fighters of the Henkel series.

Because the German Navy developed aircraft carriers too late, its technology was far behind the Chinese Empire. Even the British and American aircraft carrier technologies could not catch up. This led to the German Navy's aircraft carriers being designed as straight-through decks imitating old aircraft carriers. The Chinese Empire and the United Kingdom have always been highly confidential. Without steam catapults, it would be difficult for the German Air Force to take off and land on the limited aircraft carrier flight decks. Of course, the German Navy's aviation was far from enough to prepare for the jet fighter boarding, and could not have many years of experience in taking and landing on the ship like the Chinese Navy Aviation.

Therefore, the strength of the German Navy aircraft carrier battle group is only at the level of the late stage of World War I.

Among the Imperial Navy aircraft carrier battle group, only ten main aircraft carriers participated in the direct offensive operation against the high seas fleet. Other escort aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy and the aircraft carriers of Britain and France were all sent to the scheduled ambush zone, with about 300 aircraft carriers of various types. Nearly 10,000 carrier-based fighters have been launched and standby, waiting for more than 2,000 fighters from the German high seas fleet aircraft carrier battle group to enter the ambush zone.

Ten main aircraft carriers including the Taishan, Fanjingshan, Emeishan, Wudangshan, etc. are all equipped with jet fighters. According to the order of General Li Dingxin, the first attack echelon of the Chinese Emperor's first wave of attacks includes 260 F6 Wildcat carrier-based fighters, 500 F8 Osprey torpedo dive bombers, as well as 65 B2 Mustang tactical bombers and 4 F2 Mountain Eagle reconnaissance aircraft.

At 10:00 in the afternoon, the Skeleton Brigade, who served as the Sharp Knife Force, approached the German High Seas Fleet air defense identification circle. Admiral Bondy, commander of the German High Seas Fleet, was shocked and quickly ordered the only 200 Henkel carrier-based fighter jets in the aircraft carrier battle group to take off and intercept.

However, the German Henkel fighter was not the opponent of the Chinese Wildcat ship battle. Within 20 minutes of fighting between the two sides, the German army had lost more than 150 fighter jets.

"Firebird! Firebird! I am a skeleton! The enemy aircraft group has been defeated, you can enter the war zone! It's over!"

"Firebird understands! Please continue to provide air cover for the skeleton! It's over!"

"The skeleton understands! It's over!"

Luo Fei took the lead and led the Skeleton Team to sweep the enemy planes across the entire war zone, quickly seized air supremacy, and provided air cover for subsequent torpedo attack clusters and bomber groups.

A large number of attack aircraft from the Emperor of China roared past and covered the sky. The invisible pressure made the German naval officers and soldiers breathlessly, and they were filled with fear and nervousness.

"Air defense combat preparations! Open fire!"

Although the High Seas Fleet has lost air supremacy, it does not mean that they will sit and wait for death. Before the German Navy did not have an aircraft carrier battle group, the German Navy, which had always attached great importance to fleet air defense. Although the German Navy has not been able to obtain the Vulcan dense array system of the Imperial Navy, the ships of the High Seas Fleet are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns. At the same time, the High Seas Fleet has dozens of air defense cruisers and destroyers, and its air defense firepower is very strong.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

As the German officers of each ship issued air defense operations orders, the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns on the warships opened fire violently. As the flames spurted, countless shells shot into the sky, forming dense fire blockade lines in an instant.

The Skeleton Team is nominally cover at this moment, but in fact it is to attract the air defense firepower of German warships. They maneuver quickly at medium and high altitudes to attract the air defense firepower of German ships. The torpedo dive bomber formation basically flies in ultra-low altitude sea-skipping flight, trying to avoid the attacks of German ships' air defense firepower, and use the speed advantage of jet fighters to break through the outer defense of the high seas fleet and head straight to the aircraft carrier battle group of the high seas fleet.

According to Li Dingxin's tactical arrangement, the first wave of attack echelons will attack the German aircraft carrier with all their might. Although Li Dingxin believes that nearly 10,000 fighter jets on his side ambushed only more than 2,000 German fighter jets were already sure to win, he has always been conservative. Therefore, in order to be foolproof, he is not in a hurry to eat the high seas fleet and destroy the aircraft carrier battle group of the high seas fleet first, so that the high seas fleet will be completely under the attack of the Imperial Chinese Air Force.

Unlike the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy, the German aircraft carrier was not large in tonnage, but due to the backward tactical thinking, a large number of anti-aircraft artillery was installed on the aircraft carrier, which led to the originally insufficient flight deck space being further occupied by anti-aircraft artillery. Due to the design, the air defense artillery on the aircraft carrier was very limited, which caused too many blind spots in the air defense firepower, providing a large number of attack opportunities for the Chinese warplanes.
