"Dong dong dong!"
A F4U fighter plane was hit by several 20mm cannon shells. The entire plane was torn into pieces in an instant. The pilot was also hit by shrapnel and died on the spot.
The German military carrier-based FW-190 fighter jet that shot down F4U fighter plane flew towards another target.
Although German carrier-based aircraft group only divided 10 squadrons, or 120 carrier-based FW-190 fighters, to fight against US and British Navy's more than 130 F4U fighter plane. However, they still gained an absolute advantage in the air battle. US and British Navy's Carrier-based aircraft group was completely suppressed during the battle, and fighter planes were continuously shot down. On the other hand, the losses of German Navy's escort fighters were very small.
"Damn it! The performance of Germany people's Carrier-based aircraft is still so good. Doesn't it mean that our F4U fighter plane is no worse than Germany people's fighter jets? Why is this the result?" A United States pilot's words were full of helplessness.
"Asshole, don't the people who designed the plane over there know how powerful the Germany fighter is?" Another pilot also complained.
"God, I'm bitten, who can help me?" Panic, a pilot, yelled.
But before the other pilots had time to rescue him, screams came from the headphones. Obviously, the aircraft piloted by this pilot had been hit by German military's carrier-based FW-190 fighter jet.
"Damn it, find a way to get rid of these fighter jets of the Germany people and launch an attack on their Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber. We can't let them attack our fleet. Otherwise, everything will be over!" ordered a US military Commander.
"Sir, we simply can't withstand the attack of the Germany carrier-based fighter jets, let alone get rid of them." A US military pilot replied very helplessly.
Although, they all know very well that Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German Navy pose a great threat to the fleet. If you want to keep the fleet, you must find a way to shoot down the Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of the Germany people first. But unfortunately, that simply isn't possible.
This air battle was almost one-sided. German military Although some fighters were shot down, overall, they still gained a huge advantage. This allows German military and Commander to continuously separate fighter planes to provide cover for Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber. So that when launching an attack on the US and British Navy battleship, these fighters can suppress the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship, thereby covering one's own Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, and even further increasing the probability of hitting the enemy ship.
"General, the result of the air battle is very unfavorable to us. Our losses are much higher than those of the Germany people. Moreover, we cannot intercept the German aircraft group. Germany people's Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber are rushing towards us and are getting closer to us. It is expected that they will attack us in fifteen minutes," Lieutenant General Halsey reported.
Admiral Ernest King nodded. He also knew that his own carrier-based fighter pilots had done their best. However, the enemy was too powerful for them to deal with.
"May God protect us! I hope our fleet's anti-aircraft firepower can withstand the test this time!" Admiral Ernest King said.
Lieutenant General Halsey didn't say much, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
Time passes little by little, German carrier-based aircraft group is getting closer and closer to American and British fleets. Soon, they flew to a place only ten kilometers away from American and British fleets.
"Fire!"
Following Commander's order, American and British fleets's anti-aircraft firepower began firing. 127mm Anti-aircraft Gun, began to roar, sending powerful cannonballs into the sky.
"Boom! Boom!"
The shells exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of black smoke. During the explosion, shrapnel flew everywhere.
The Anti-aircraft Gun artillery shell in this time and space still uses a timed fuse, allowing the shell to explode at a fixed height. As for the more advanced Proximity fuze, whether it is Germany or United States, they are still under development. However, Germany has made breakthrough progress due to its early start and huge investment. It is expected that soon, Germany Anti-aircraft Gun of the navy, army and air force will be equipped with this kind of fuze, thereby further enhancing the air defense firepower.
"Boom!"
A Dive Bomber seemed to be unlucky, being directly hit by a 127mm Anti-aircraft Gun shell.
The huge power tore this Dive Bomber into pieces in an instant.
"Spread out and prepare to launch an attack. Prioritize attacking the large aircraft carriers belonging to the Germany people. Get rid of them first, and then deal with the medium and light aircraft carriers!" Carrier-based aircraft Commander of German military gave the order.
As for the huge Capital Ships formation of American and British fleets, no one cares about it. I have to admit that those huge Capital Ships look very majestic on the sea. But German carrier-based aircraft group will not make a fatal mistake like Americans and British. Their target is very clear, which are the aircraft carriers American Navy and British Navy. This is their primary goal. Unless there are remaining ammunition after sinking those aircraft carriers, they will launch an attack on US and British Navy's Capital Ships.
"Dong dong dong!"
As German carrier-based aircraft group got closer and closer, all the anti-aircraft firepower of American and British fleets began to fire. The huge number of 40mm Anti-aircraft Gun and 20mm Anti-aircraft Gun have become the main force in anti-aircraft firepower. 127mm Anti-aircraft Gun Although it is powerful, it has a long range. But the rate of fire is too slow, and its role in such a battle is undoubtedly very limited.
The shells kept exploding in the air, which looked thrilling. The dense air defense firepower network looked so powerful, as if it was going to tear all enemy fighters that broke into it into pieces.
If you are a rookie who has just entered the battlefield, you may be frightened by such anti-aircraft firepower. However, for German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft pilots, they are already experienced veterans, and they naturally know where the loopholes are in this seemingly dangerous anti-aircraft firepower.
"Start the attack, first eliminate the escort warships on the outer network, and then attack the core aircraft carrier. Let Americans and British see what the gap is between them and us!"
"Yes, sir!" the pilots responded in unison.
German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft, rack after rack, pounced on American Navy and Aircraft Carrier Formation. The nine 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers became their primary attack targets.
