In the sky, on the eight aircraft carriers of the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy, the fighter planes that took off were directly guided by the radar soldiers of the battleships, and flew to intercept the carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy. Because it takes time for an aircraft carrier to take off carrier-based aircraft, and now time is running out, it is impossible for these carrier-based aircraft to wait over the fleet until all the fighters have taken off before going to meet the enemy.
So, take off a batch of fighter planes, and these fighter planes will go to intercept. The fighter planes that took off later accelerated to the battlefield. This way, you can make the most of your time.
In the sky, the first batch of carrier-based aircraft launched by the 1st and 4th aircraft carrier formations of the US fleet are heading south. A fleet of 96 fighter jets, 102 dive bombers and 68 torpedo attack planes covered the sky and sun, leaving a big shadow on the sea.
However, among the 96 fighters, there are only 36 advanced F4U fighters, and the other 60 are backward F4F fighters. These F4F fighters are completely vulnerable to the German Navy's carrier-based BF-109 fighters and carrier-based FW-190 fighters.
At this time, the remaining air defense fighters in the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, including the backup aircraft, only had a total of 124 aircraft. Although there are more than 30 **** fighter jets in this wave of the US fleet, compared to the entire huge fleet, it is only half of it.
However, in front of these advanced fighter jets of the German army, the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the US fleet are nothing but prey. They are clumsy, and it is almost impossible for them to avoid the hunting of German fighter jets.
32 German air defense fighters rushed to the battlefield first. Although, the US military's aircraft fleet is much larger than them. However, these German pilots were not afraid.
"Warriors, attack, kill those Americans!" A squadron leader gave the order to attack.
16 carrier-based FW-190 fighters and 16 carrier-based BF-109 fighters immediately dived from high altitude and rushed towards the US military fleet.
"Boom boom boom!"
The machine guns began to fire, and one after another the shells flew towards the US military fleet. The targets of the German air defense fighters were those dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, and they used powerful cannons when they launched an attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Under the attack of the German air defense fighter jets, one after another the US carrier-based planes were hit, roaring and falling to the sea.
"Enemy attack! Fighter planes cover, dive bombers and torpedo attack planes continue to advance. German anti-aircraft fighter jets have appeared, and their aircraft carriers must be nearby. Find them, then launch an attack, and sink them!" The command of the US military fleet the officer ordered.
Part of the U.S. **** fighter jets launched an attack on the German air defense fighter jets, trying to hold back these German fighter jets and create opportunities for their own accord from bombers and torpedo attack planes. And the huge number of dive bombers and torpedo attack planes dispersed like a flock of frightened birds. During the German attack just now, more than twenty fighter planes were shot down. This is undoubtedly a big loss for the American fleet. If they continue to use a dense formation, it will only lead to more carrier-based aircraft being shot down.
"Da da da!"
Fierce air battles ensued. As the most powerful carrier-based fighters of the U.S. Navy, those F4U fighters did their part to undertake the task of intercepting German air defense fighters.
It's just that these F4U fighters can compete with the German carrier-based BF-109 fighters, but they are still at a disadvantage in front of the carrier-based FW-190 fighters.
"Go to hell, Yankee!" A carrier-based FW-190 fighter bit a US dive bomber. The pilot decisively pressed the launch button and began the attack.
"Boom boom boom!"
A string of shells whizzed towards the US dive bomber, and the shells hit the body, blasting holes the size of basketballs. Even though the body structure is very strong, it still can't hold on under such an injury. The plane plummeted into the sea, trailing thick smoke.
"Damn Germans!"
An F4U fighter saw that its own fighter was shot down, and immediately launched an attack on the German fighter. However, it was easily dodged by German fighter planes.
"Rookie, it's impossible to shoot me down. My target is your dive bombers and torpedo attack planes. I don't have time to play with you right now! I'll teach you a lesson after I kill your bombers." German pilot A look of contempt.
During the fierce battle, one after another US carrier-based aircraft were shot down. Most of these downed carrier-based aircraft were dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, and only a small part were fighter jets. Of course, the German fighter jets also suffered casualties. In a melee, it is impossible for a pilot to withstand all the dangers in every aspect. If you are not careful, you may be hit by a sudden bullet.
Fortunately, the performance of the German fighter jets and the quality of the pilots have all been tested in war. Compared with the US military, it is much stronger. This is why the number of German fighter planes shot down is far less than that of the US carrier-based planes.
In order to save his own life, or to keep a useful body, he launched an attack on the German aircraft carrier. The US military's dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft are also speeding up their penetration. This makes the battlefield closer and closer to the position of the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation.
The second batch of 32 German air defense fighters arrived on the battlefield. They directly killed the dive bombers and torpedo attack planes of the US military. After these air defense fighters arrived, they once again caused heavy casualties to the US carrier-based aircraft.
A U.S. carrier-based aircraft fell towards the sea like dumplings. Some U.S. pilots parachuted to escape after the fighter plane was shot down. But more U.S. military pilots can't even do skydiving.
When the third batch of sixty air defense fighters arrived, it made many US carrier-based aircraft pilots desperate. When the German army had only a few dozen air defense fighters, they could have suffered heavy losses. Now, the number of these air defense fighters has almost doubled, which will undoubtedly cause them to pay more casualties!
"Damn, how come the German aircraft carrier formation has so many anti-aircraft fighter jets? How can we break through their interception?" The commander of the US carrier fleet was also very helpless after discovering this situation.
Originally, their fighter performance and pilot quality were at a disadvantage. Now the German army has dispatched many more air defense fighters than their **** fighters, which has plunged them into despair.
