"General, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape. The speed of our battleship is much worse than German aircraft." Lieutenant General Henry? Wilson said with a pale face.
The powerful and sturdy Battleship cannot bring them much safety at this moment. After the 'Maryland' number Battleship was sunk, Lieutenant General Henry? Wilson knew that as the flagship 'Colorado' number Battleship, I am afraid that it would be equally difficult to escape the disaster. After all, 'Maryland' number Battleship and 'Colorado' number Battleship belong to the same level Battleship. 'Colorado' is the first ship, and 'Maryland' is the second ship.
"We have no other way! I hope the armor of our battleship can withstand the bombs and Torpedo dropped by German aircraft! Otherwise, we will all have to be sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish by the Germany people." Henry? General Mayo said.
He regrets it very much now. He had long realized that there was a fraud in this, and he should not have ordered the fleet to rush to the east of Azores in the first place. This time, they just fell into the trap carefully prepared by the Germany people.
"May God protect us!" Henry? General Mayo said.
Indeed, under the current circumstances, they seemed to have no other option except praying for God's blessing.
On the other side, German Atlantic Fleet is following American fleet to prevent American fleet from escaping. At the same time, they also witnessed such a battle.
"God! This is really spectacular, isn't it? Your Excellency Commander. Our Carrier-based aircraft is Encirclement Offensive The battleships of Americans and Americans were constantly hit and sunk by our Carrier-based aircraft and Encirclement Offensive," Vice Admiral Schmidt said excitedly.
"Yes, my chief of staff. Americans is dead this time. Our Carrier-based aircraft is ruthlessly ravaging them! When Carrier-based aircraft has almost finished them off, it's time for us to go on the field and beat up the drowned dogs. After this battle, American Navy will suffer another heavy blow, and they will not be able to develop without ten years. However, in ten years, we will be even stronger. Americans wants to compete with us for hegemony, which is simply delusional!" Vice Admiral Burdick was also very excited.
This battle will completely establish German Navy's advantage over Atlantic Ocean. Originally, the rise of American Navy had already posed a great threat to German Navy's advantage over Atlantic Ocean. However, this time they were seeking death themselves and came to their door. Of course, German Navy would not miss this opportunity and killed American Navy in one fell swoop.
Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy is still launching Encirclement Offensive on American fleet. Carrier-based aircrafts, one after another, whizzed by, dropping bombs or Torpedos. Those Capital Ships of American fleet have become the key attack targets of these Carrier-based aircraft. The huge mountain-like Capital Ships, under the German Navy, Carrier-based aircraft, and Encirclement Offensive, was exhausted and looked very embarrassed.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded on the 'Arizona' Battleship, and the entire front deck of the battleship was shrouded in smoke and fire.
"What's going on?" Henry? General Mayo asked anxiously.
"General, there was a violent explosion on the 'Arizona' No. Battleship. It is estimated that the ammunition depot was penetrated and the shells inside exploded." A staff officer said.
"Damn it, the 'Arizona' is finished!" Lieutenant General Henry? Wilson scolded.
Indeed, for any Battleship, an explosion in the ammunition depot is a fatal injury. No Battleship could survive such a violent explosion.
This was done by an Bomber of German Navy. The dropped aviation Armor-piercing Shell hit the No. 1 main battery turret on the bow of the Battleship of the 'Arizona'. The bomb penetrated the deck armor at a tricky angle, and then penetrated the armor of the ammunition depot, and then the explosion occurred. More than a hundred artillery shells stored in the ammunition depot exploded. The huge power almost destroyed the entire bow of the 'Arizona' Battleship. Sea water poured into the battleship from the break.
"General, the captain of the 'Arizona' requested to abandon the ship." a staff officer reported.
Henry? General Mayo did not hesitate and allowed the 'Arizona' number Battleship to abandon the ship. After all, under such circumstances, 'Arizona' number Battleship no longer has the ability to continue fighting. If they are not allowed to abandon the ship, it is estimated that the sailors on the Battleship will soon sink into the sea along with the battleship. In that case, it would be a massacre of these sailors.
German Navy's and Carrier-based aircraft's attacks were not without losses. After all, these warships of American Navy are more or less equipped with anti-aircraft firepower. Although the performance of these anti-aircraft firepower on the battlefield was not very good, it still caused certain casualties to German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit. However, the casualties were not large.
The first wave of Carrier-based aircraft lost 7 fighters during the battle, 4 Bomber and 5 Torpedo bomber. This kind of loss is not very big. Especially compared to the results they achieved, it was completely insignificant.
American fleet, two Battleship were sunk, and many other Battleship were severely damaged. Such a loss is absolutely debilitating for American fleet.
After dropping the bombs and Torpedo's German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft, they began to return one after another. They need to return to the aircraft carrier to reload ammunition and fuel. Only in this way can we continue to fight.
"General, German aircraft is gone!" Lieutenant General Henry? Wilson exclaimed. His voice was full of surprise.
"Are you leaving? Great, this is German aircraft without bombs and Torpedo. Order the fleet to move forward at full speed and prepare to evacuate!" Henry? General Mayo ordered.
Although, the current losses are a bit big. But if you can escape back to United States, you can recover quickly.
However, they seemed to have forgotten that German Atlantic Fleet was still following them. Not to mention, those leaving now are just the first wave of troops from German Navy Carrier-based aircraft. Immediately afterwards, there is a second wave of Carrier-based aircraft that is about to enter the battlefield.
Sure enough, after German Navy's first wave of Carrier-based aircraft retreated, just a few minutes later, the second wave of Carrier-based aircraft flew over American fleet.
