On German Home Fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'Poseidon', Fleet Commander Marshal Lütjens looked a little unhappy.
The battle is still going on, but Carrier-based aircraft of American Navy has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to pose any danger to German Home Fleet. However, the aircraft carrier "Apollo" that has sunk and the aircraft carrier "Aphrodite" that is already on fire shows how much German Home Fleet paid in the previous battle.
Facing the attack of hundreds of Carrier-based aircraft in two batches of American Navy 2nd Carrier Fleet and 3rd Carrier Fleet. Even if German Home Fleet's air defense fighters fought desperately, they could not completely stop American fleet's attack on German Home Fleet. Although German Navy's fleet air defense firepower was very powerful, causing US carrier-based aircraft to pay a heavy price, it still could not avoid them paying heavy casualties.
The aircraft carrier 'Apollo' and the aircraft carrier 'Aphrodite' are both the aircraft carrier 'Sovereign-class', which is the most powerful aircraft carrier German Navy currently in service. Now, the aircraft carrier 'Apollo' has been sunk, and the aircraft carrier 'Aphrodite' has been severely damaged, causing Home Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation to lose a quarter of its combat power. Such a loss is undoubtedly a huge loss for German Home Fleet.
"Your Excellency, Americans and the remaining Carrier-based aircraft can no longer pose much of a threat to us. Our powerful air defense firepower is enough to eliminate them all." Lieutenant General Karl Witzel said.
Marshal Lütjens nodded. "Arrange warships to rescue those crew members who fell into the water. In addition, coordinate the recovery of Carrier-based aircraft from the 'Apollo' and the 'Aphrodite'."
When one of the two aircraft carriers was sunk and the other was severely damaged, the Carrier-based aircraft had to land on other aircraft carriers respectively.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Karl? Lieutenant General Witzel replied.
"How is the current battle situation? How many Americans aircraft carriers have our Carrier-based aircraft sunk?" Marshal Lütjens asked.
"Your Excellency, the current battle situation is very favorable to us. Our three Grand Fleet's Aircraft Carrier Formation's take-off Carrier-based aircraft are Encirclement Offensive American Navy's Aircraft Carrier Formation. Just the Home Fleet's Aircraft Carrier Formation's take-off Carrier-based aircraft has sunk the Americans aircraft carriers. They are the 'Lexington', the 'Saratoga' and the 'Prince Dun'. Moreover, our Carrier-based aircraft will continue to launch attacks, and will definitely sink more United States aircraft carriers," Lieutenant General Karl Witzel reported.
Marshal Lütjens The expression on his face looked much better when he heard such results. Although the aircraft carrier 'Prince ton' is just a light aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier 'Lexington' and the aircraft carrier 'Saratoga' can be regarded as large aircraft carriers. More importantly, their fleets continued to attack. It is foreseeable that more United States aircraft carriers will be sunk in the future.
"Very good, the soldiers performed very well. It seems that no one can stop us from winning this naval battle!" Marshal Lütjens said.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Both our Aircraft Carrier Formation and Capital Ships formations have already won. Americans is destined to lose this naval battle." Karl Lieutenant General Wetzel said.
Marshal Lütjens nodded, although German Navy also suffered a lot of losses in this naval battle. However, compared to the results they gained, this loss was nothing. German Navy won this naval battle and also won Atlantic Ocean's sea control. It can not only ensure the security of Europe's homeland, but also pose a threat to United States East Coast. It can even be said that even if United States participated in this war, it could no longer change the outcome of the war. Germany will win this war step by step.
On Atlantic Fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'Zeus', Admiral Rolf Kars was also listening to the report.
Carrier-based aircraft of American Navy has left, and German Atlantic Fleet is picking up the pieces. The heavily damaged aircraft carriers 'Hestia' and 'Hera' are leaving this sea area under the protection of escort warships. They will return to the shipyard of German homeland, stay there for a few months, and after repairs, they will enter German Navy for service again.
The first batch of Carrier-based aircrafts that took off from the aircraft carrier Atlantic Fleet have also begun to return one after another. However, Carrier-based aircraft, which took off from the aircraft carriers 'Hestia' and 'Hera', was a little sad after finding that its aircraft carrier had been severely damaged. They could only follow the arrangements and land on other aircraft carriers.
The first batch of Carrier-based aircraft includes a huge fleet of 96 fighter jets, 144 Dive Bomber and 120 Torpedo Bomber. However, there are only more than a hundred fighters returning now. The rest of the fighter planes have been shot down during the battle. It can be seen how fierce a naval battle they experienced.
"God! The losses of the first batch of Carrier-based aircraft groups were too great. More than 60% of the fighter planes were shot down." Lieutenant General George Fredberg exclaimed.
"There is no way around it. They are facing the most powerful air defense fighter group American Navy. However, it is precisely because of their sacrifice that our second batch of aircraft groups, as well as Home Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet's Carrier-based aircraft group was able to successfully launch the attack on American fleet, so their sacrifice was valuable!" said General Rolf Kars.
He was also very distressed to see Carrier-based Aircraft Unit suffer such huge losses. But he knew that in such a large-scale battle, losses would inevitably occur. Especially the first batch of Carrier-based aircraft groups have to deal with more than a hundred air defense fighters of American Navy, so they will naturally suffer heavy losses.
"Yes, General. However, fortunately we won this battle. This time, Americans will not only lose a large number of aircraft carriers, but also a large number of Carrier-based aircraft and pilots. This It will cause American Navy's strength to suffer a heavy blow. It is impossible for them to compete with us for sea control on Atlantic Ocean!" said Lieutenant General George.
"Yes, Chief of Staff. Next, we have to start preparing to launch an attack on the United States mainland. Soon, the war will burn on the United States mainland." General Rolf Kars looked confident.
