In the waters southwest of the Azores, a huge fleet composed of eight aircraft carriers of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and a large number of cruisers and destroyers are sailing in this area. The direction of the fleet is exactly northwest. Although the speed of the fleet is not fast, they are going deeper into the ocean bit by bit, hoping to find the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation from the vast Atlantic Ocean and then launch an attack.
Like Atlantic Fleet, Home Fleet and Aircraft Carrier Formation of Mediterranean Fleet are also sailing westward. When the fighter jets taking off on Azores attacked the US military's Capital Ships formation, attacking the US military's Aircraft Carrier Formation became the top priority of three German Navy fleets's Aircraft Carrier Formation. In fact, even if the Capital Ships formation killed the entire American Navy, it would not be considered a victory in this naval battle. Only Aircraft Carrier Formation, which severely damaged or even destroyed American Navy in one fell swoop, could be considered a winner.
Atlantic Fleet's eight aircraft carriers are all ready for battle. The fighter jets, Dive Bomber and Torpedo bomber, have been filled with fuel, registered with bombs and Torpedo, and are ready to take off.
Even in the hangar below the deck, the fighters inside are ready. Once the aircraft on the deck take off, the aircraft in the hangar can be lifted to the deck using elevators to launch attacks as the second wave of fighters.
On Atlantic Fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'Zeus', Admiral Rolf Kars seemed a little anxious. Although, in last night's battle, the Capital Ships formation of Atlantic Fleet defeated four Capital Shipss of American fleet at the cost of one serious damage. However, this did not make General Rolf Kars happy for long. In the eyes of Admiral Rolf Kars, American Navy's aircraft carrier is their real goal.
The Capital Ships formation of American Navy has suffered heavy losses after experiencing a duel with German Navy's Capital Ships. And now, the Capital Ships formation of American Navy is trapped in the Encirclement Offensive of German Navy's shore-based aircraft. You don't need to think about it to know that the Capital Ships formation of American Navy is finished. Even if the entire army is not wiped out, the situation will not be much better.
At this time, German Navy must make persistent efforts to find out the location of Aircraft Carrier Formation of American Navy and annihilate them.
"General, I just received news that the aircraft carrier American Navy may be three hundred and fifty kilometers northwest of us!" Lieutenant General Fleet Chief of Staff George? Fredberg said.
"What? That place? Is it so close to us? Rolf? Admiral Kars can't believe it.
Indeed, the distance of three hundred and fifty kilometers seems relatively far. But for the aircraft carrier, this is not far, it is already completely within the strike radius of Carrier-based aircraft. Even after Carrier-based aircraft takes off, it only takes less than an hour to launch an attack.
"Our ship Light Cruiser conducted an air search for Radar and tracked the US military fighter aircraft providing air defense cover for the Capital Ships formation. Determine those US military Carrier-based aircraft descending altitude landings. From this, the location of the United States aircraft carrier was deduced. "George? Lieutenant General Fredberg said.
Admiral Rolf Kars nodded. If this is the case, then the credibility of this news is undoubtedly very high.
"General, do you want to send a plane to investigate? Anyway, the distance is not far, and the investigation will not take much time. "George? Lieutenant General Fredberg suggested.
"Forget it, no need to waste time. Order our Carrier-based aircraft to take off! This is an opportunity for us. You absolutely cannot let this opportunity go! "Lieutenant General Rolf Kars made a choice in his heart.
"Order all Carrier-based aircraft, except for the air defense fighters left behind, to take off. The spare fighters also joined the anti-aircraft fighters! This time, we must make Americans pay the price! Lieutenant General Rolf Kars ordered.
He knew very well that if Carrier-based aircraft was sent to launch an attack, Americans might follow the direction in which Germany Carrier-based aircraft was dispatched, find their position, and then launch an attack. But now, he doesn't care about that much anymore. If we can launch an attack first, use Americans's air search and Radar's detection range, and want to release a large number of Carrier-based aircraft to attack them, it is simply impossible.
"Yes, General. "George? Lieutenant General Fredberg replied.
"In addition, after both batches of Carrier-based aircraft took off, the fleet turned to the southwest. "Lieutenant General Rolf Kars then ordered.
In order to avoid the enemy's Carrier-based aircraft, it is best for Aircraft Carrier Formation to turn away from the original sea area after releasing Carrier-based aircraft. In this case, even if the enemy searches in the direction of your own Carrier-based aircraft, they may not be able to find it.
A carrier-based FW-190 fighter jet took off from the aircraft carrier "Zeus".
Combat aircraft also began to take off from the other seven aircraft carriers. However, what took off from the four 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carriers were carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets. What took off from the four 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers were carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets.
The first wave of eight aircraft carriers from German Atlantic Fleet to Aircraft Carrier Formation is capable of taking off 96 fighter jets, 144 Dive Bomber and 120 Torpedo Bomber. The second wave of aircraft fleet can also take off so many Carrier-based aircraft. In addition, 96 fighter jets are left to provide air defense protection for the fleet. In addition, among the spare aircraft of each aircraft carrier, 28 fighter jets can also be raised for air defense. This means that even if it is attacked by the enemy's Carrier-based aircraft, German Atlantic Fleet's Aircraft Carrier Formation, there are still more than one hundred and twenty fighter jets that can meet the enemy.
This time, German Atlantic Fleet tried its best to create Aircraft Carrier Formation from American Navy. After the first wave of aircraft takes off, the second wave of aircraft will be lifted up from the hangar and then begin to take off.
"Phew! call out!"
One after another, the planes taxied quickly on the flight deck, and then rushed into the sky. This scene makes people excited.
The first one to take off was the fighter jet, followed closely by Dive Bomber, and finally Torpedo Bomber. At the same time, the aircraft in the hangar also began to be lifted to the deck using elevators to prepare for the second wave of takeoff.
"Send Telegram to Home Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet, and ask them to send Carrier-based aircraft too! "Lieutenant General Rolf Kars suddenly demanded.
Lieutenant General George Fredberg on the side was suddenly stunned, as if he did not expect Lieutenant General Rolf Kars to issue such an order.
