"Attack! Fighters, suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft fire! Dive bombers and torpedo bombers, launch your attack and sink the American warships!" the German military commander ordered.
FW-190 fighters accelerated toward the American warships one after another.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Anti-aircraft guns aboard the American warships began firing in succession. Both the 40mm and 20mm anti-aircraft guns opened fire. Even the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns joined in.
Dense gunfire formed layer upon layer of anti-aircraft nets in the sky, seeking to envelop the German aircraft and shoot them down.
But the German FW-190 fighters were exceedingly agile. The pilots maneuvered their fighters through the American anti-aircraft fire like storm petrels riding out a tempest.
The American Navy's anti-aircraft gunners had no combat experience. They operated their guns, trying to track the German aircraft, only to find they simply could not keep up. Instead, their anti-aircraft fire net was torn into tatters.
"Damn Germans, die!" Amid an anti-aircraft gunner's furious roar, a 20mm anti-aircraft gun chased a German FW-190 fighter with fire. Yet the shells exploded in the air, while the FW-190 emerged completely unscathed.
"Rat-tat-tat!"
The FW-190 fighter opened fire, its aircraft machine guns spraying wildly. Bullets struck the anti-aircraft positions, throwing out showers of sparks. The American anti-aircraft gunners huddled beneath their gun shields, trembling.

"Idiots! Ignore those fighters! Your targets are the Germans' bombers and torpedo bombers. They're the ones that pose a fatal threat to us!" an American officer roared.
While the American anti-aircraft net had been ripped to pieces, the German dive bombers and torpedo bombers seized the chance to launch their
