"Stop Americans's fighter jets, Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber disperse." Carrier-based aircraft of American Navy desperately wanted to land Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German military to ensure the safety of their own warships.
This also forced German military's escort fighters to intercept and pursue these US carrier-based aircraft with all their strength.
F4U fighter plane was shot down one after another. Even though the performance of this aircraft was pretty good, it was still no match for German Navy Aviation flying the FW-190 fighter jet.
Fierce battles took place over this sea area, and fighter planes were constantly shot down. Some pilots were lucky enough to parachute after being shot down. But there are still many pilots who don't even have the chance to parachute.
While the fighters from both sides were fighting fiercely, fighter planes taking off from the central island of Azores also came over. Moreover, the scale of this batch of fighters is larger than the scale of fighters taking off from the western island of Azores.
8 fighter squadrons, 96 FW-190 fighters, 6 Dive Bomber squadrons, 72 Dive Bomber, 6 Torpedo Bomber squadrons, 72 Torpedo Bomber, a total of two hundred and forty fighters, forming a huge fleet. When this fleet of aircraft flew across the sky, the sky and the earth were overwhelming, as if they were trying to block out the sun.
When the huge fleet of aircraft was detected by American fleet's air search Radar, the expressions of all the Radar soldiers changed drastically.
"God! German aircraft group has appeared. The dense fleet of aircraft must exceed two hundred in total!" a Radar officer asserted.
"Quick, report to the general!"
Two minutes later, the news was delivered to General Haspen Kimmel.
"More than two hundred planes? The Germany people really want to eat us all!" Admiral Haspen Kimmel's face also became very ugly. He knew that this was undoubtedly a great test for American fleet. If their anti-aircraft firepower cannot hold up, the consequences will be disastrous. Those Capital Shipss that were not sunk during the duel with German Navy's Capital Ships may be in trouble this time. Even the powerful 'Montana-class' Battleship may not be able to keep it.
"General, the current situation is even more critical for us." Rear Admiral Corville said.
Admiral Haspen Kimmel nodded. "Order the anti-aircraft gun positions on each ship to prepare for battle. Next, it depends on everyone's performance. If you don't want to die, you must resist the attack of the Germany people."
"Yes, General. Can we still request more fighter support from Aircraft Carrier Formation?" Rear Admiral Corville asked.
General Haspen Kimmel thought for a moment, then shook his head. "This time Aircraft Carrier Formation has reinforced us with 72 F4U fighter planes, which is already half of the number of F4U fighter planes owned by the entire Aircraft Carrier Formation. However, now it seems that even these F4U fighter planes F4U fighter plane is no match for Germany. If more fighters are deployed from Aircraft Carrier Formation for reinforcements, it will put a greater burden on Aircraft Carrier Formation. They will also bear the heavy responsibility of defeating Germany."
Admiral Hasband Kimmel decided to rely on his own strength to fight against the large fleet of German Navy. He believed that with the huge air defense firepower of American fleet, it would be able to withstand the attack of German Navy's aircraft fleet.
"Yes, General." Rear Admiral Corville nodded heavily, and he also wanted to understand this.
In the sky, the fierce battle continued. But as American Navy and F4U fighter plane lose more and more, they can no longer pose much of a threat to German Navy. Even, under the pursuit of German military's FW-190 fighter jets, these F4U fighter plane had to flee in all directions. At this moment, the offensive and defensive momentum has completely changed.
"How many Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber do we have?" asked German military Commander, who was in charge of the attack, after dispersing F4U fighter plane of American Navy.
"Sir, there are 22 Dive Bomber left. There are 18 Torpedo Bomber left."
"Damn it!" Commander couldn't help but cursed. The original 36 Dive Bomber lost 14, and Torpedo Bomber lost 18. This loss is not small. In fact, the attack power of their fleet has been greatly reduced. American fleet's warships must be in full preparedness. If the attack continues, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to break through the dense air defense network and sink the Americans warship.
"Attention, all aircraft, suspend the attack, I will contact the base!" Commander ordered.
However, it was later learned from the base that fighter planes taking off from the islands in the central part of the archipelago were about to arrive. The base ordered that after the first wave of aircraft groups merged with the second wave of aircraft groups, they launched an attack together.
The second wave fleet originally included 96 FW-190 fighters, 72 Dive Bomber and 72 Torpedo Bomber. Including the remaining fighters in the first wave of the fleet, the total will reach 142 FW-190 fighters, 94 Dive Bomber and 90 Torpedo Bomber, and the strength will become even more powerful.
In less than twenty minutes, the second wave of aircraft arrived. After the two waves of aircraft converged, they headed towards American fleet.
As for the 72 F4U fighter planes lined up before American Navy, after more than fifty were shot down, the remaining F4U fighter planes had already fled with their tails between their legs.
Moreover, what these US military F4U fighter plane pilots did not know was that a German military Light Cruiser located in the west of the United States Capital Ships formation used air search Radar to detect these US military fighters, and based on their landing position, the location of the American fleet aircraft carrier was deduced.
"General, German aircraft group is here!" General Corville reminded.
In fact, Admiral Haspen Kimmel had already seen it without reminding him. In the sky of the East, a large group of small black dots were coming toward them under the sunlight. Densely packed small black dots represent densely packed aircraft. Obviously, this undoubtedly means a life and death test for the American fleet and Capital Ships formations.
"Woo! Woo!"
The shrill air defense sirens had already sounded, and countless air defense soldiers controlled the Anti-aircraft Gun and anti-aircraft machine guns, aiming in the direction of the German military aircraft group.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
127mm Anti-aircraft Gun, door after door, opened fire first. Although the rate of fire of these large-caliber Anti-aircraft Gun is very slow, the range is long, and the power of the shells is also very high.
Almost every American fleet warship is equipped with this type of artillery. Even the destroyer American Navy directly uses this type of artillery as its main gun.
"Boom! Boom!"
The shells exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of black smoke. The huge fleet of German Navy has spread out and started to attack American fleet.
