"Attention all squadrons, we will encounter the enemy in five minutes and prepare to launch an attack!" Commander of German carrier-based aircraft group ordered.
"Understood, General." The squadron commanders of each squadron replied.
A huge fleet of aircraft flies at an altitude of 11,000 meters. Although, the maximum ceiling of the FW-190 fighter jet reaches 12,500 meters. But if the flying altitude exceeds 12,000 meters, the aircraft will be very difficult to control, let alone fly the aircraft in a fierce battle.
The fleet of US Army Air Corps did not know that the enemy was approaching at this moment. But their five hundred P-51 fighter jets are always vigilant. Especially as they get closer and closer to Bermuda Islands, these US Army Air Corps pilots become more and more nervous. They knew very well that German Navy's air search Radar must have discovered it. This also means that they will soon encounter the interception of German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft.
Although, the pilots of US Army Air Corps are very confident in the performance of their fighter aircraft. However, they are also very aware of the power of German Navy's carrier-based fighter jets. Once they encounter one, they will definitely face a tough battle. It is unknown how many people will be killed in the fierce fighting.
"Germany found!" When the distance between the two sides got closer, US Army Air Corps's fleet also discovered German carrier-based aircraft group, who was attacking in large numbers.
"Prepare to fight, protect Bomber!" Commander of US Army Air Corps ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Many United States pilots replied loudly.
Although, the enemy is very powerful. But these brave American pilots still mustered up their courage and prepared to join the battle.
A large number of P-51 fighter jets began to accelerate and rushed towards German carrier-based aircraft group. And those B-17 heavy Bomber began to accelerate and turn. They are only 250 kilometers away from Bermuda Islands at the moment. If they can increase their speed to more than 400 kilometers, it will only take 40 minutes to arrive.
"Start attacking!" Commander of German carrier-based aircraft group gave the order.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The cannon started firing, and shells roared towards the US military aircraft group.
The first ones to fire were 20mm cannons. As for the more powerful 30mm cannons, they were prepared for the US military's heavy-duty Bomber. After all, the heavy-duty Bomber has a huge body and a solid structure. Aviation machine guns pose no threat to it at all. Only cannons, especially large-caliber cannons, can easily shoot it down. Therefore, German carrier-based aircraft group often takes the lead in using aviation machine guns and 20mm cannons in air combat, while retaining the 30mm cannon. There is no way around this. Although the cannon is powerful, it has a small amount of ammunition and cannot withstand consumption.
German carrier-based aircraft group's sudden attack caused considerable losses to the US military's escort fleet. Dozens of P-51 fighter jets were hit by German military cannon shells, dragging thick black smoke and falling to the ground.
"Damn it! Start attacking and kill German aircraft!" Commander of the US military ordered.
"Da da da!"
The US military P-51 fighter jets that had dispersed launched a counterattack. The aircraft machine gun on the aircraft body fired violently at the German military fighter jet.
For a moment, a fierce air battle ensued. Fighters from both sides were flying back and forth in the sky, and the fight was fierce.
Planes were being hit almost every moment, trailing smoke and plummeting towards the sea.
"Dong dong dong!"
A P-51 fighter was bitten by German military's carrier-based FW-190 fighter. A 20mm cannon shell hit the tail of the P-51 fighter jet, and the entire tail was blown off. The P-51 fighter jet fell directly to the sea, dragging thick smoke. Although the pilot parachuted immediately, in this vast sea, the chance of survival after parachuting was probably very small.
"Damn, I'm bitten!" a US military pilot Panic yelled.
"Roll, roll immediately!" said the squadron leader.
The pilot immediately followed suit and rolled the fighter plane several times, trying to throw German aircraft away.
However, it is a pity that German aircraft is still following him.
"Boss, I have no choice. Germany people are biting too hard!" The US military pilot was a little desperate.
He could feel that the German military fighter plane following him was trying hard to bite him. This forced him to swing left and right, but the effect was very limited. Once the opponent fires, he is still likely to be hit.
"Ta-ta-ta!" German military's fighter plane finally completed locking, and the pilot opened fire decisively.
The two 13mm aviation machine guns on the nose started shooting, and dense bullets were fired at the US fighter plane.
Although, the US military fighter planes tried their best to avoid it. But it still didn't work. Bullets from an aviation machine gun hit the P-51 fighter jet. One wing was broken. The plane lost its balance and fell toward the sea.
"I was hit, my plane is falling, I have to parachute!" After the US pilot reported, he parachuted immediately.
A white umbrella flower bloomed in the air and floated in the wind. And his plane fell into the sea, splashing a high column of water.
"Damn, we are completely suppressed. What should we do?" Squadron Leader, a US military officer, looked angry.
"There is nothing we can do about it. German aircraft's performance is more advanced than ours. The quality of their pilots is even better than ours. Compared with them, we can hardly take any advantage. Even if we have more fighter planes than them, we are still no match for them."
Indeed, the US military's P-51 fighter jets have a numerical advantage. However, the performance of the P-51 fighter is slightly worse than that of the FW-190 fighter. Coupled with the gap in pilot quality, this puts the US military at a complete disadvantage in combat.
Although, German military's carrier-based FW-190 fighter was also shot down during the fierce battle. But overall, the losses of the US military's P-51 fighter jets are still much greater.
It can be said that often when P-51 fighter jets are shot down from the logistics rack, only one German military carrier-based FW-190 fighter jet will be lost. Such a battle loss ratio is completely unacceptable to US Army Air Corps. You know, there are currently less than a thousand P-51 fighter jets equipped by US Army Air Corps. Even with their overtime production, there are only a few hundred P-51 fighter jets in service every month. This is despite squeezing the production capacity of other fighter aircraft. Once there are too many battle losses, all their P-51 fighter jets will soon be lost. At that time, what else will they use to fight against German carrier-based aircraft group?
"Ta-ta-ta! Dong-dong-dong!"
Aviation machine guns and cannons fired wildly, and fighter planes were constantly hit and burst into flames, falling into the sea like burning flamingos.
