"Your Excellency Commander, we have won. The second wave of Carrier-based aircraft groups have begun to return. According to the news they reported, all American Navy's large fleet aircraft carriers have been sunk!" Lieutenant General Home Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation Commander Hans said with a smile on his face.
"Very good, very good. It's not in vain that our Capital Ships formation has paid such a heavy loss!" A smile also appeared on Marshal Lütjens's face. The Capital Ships formation almost suffered a devastating blow, which made him feel very distressed. But now, their counterattack has eliminated American Navy nine large fleet aircraft carriers. It can be said that from this battle damage ratio, German Navy undoubtedly has the advantage.
"Your Excellency Commander, Americans has lost nine large aircraft carriers. Then, they only have 4 light aircraft carriers left. Although the Britain people also have 8 medium-sized aircraft carriers, they no longer pose a threat. We have already won this naval battle." Fleet Chief of Staff Karl Vice Admiral Wetzel also said with a smile.
"Yes, we have won!" Marshal Lütjens said seriously.
Although, Home Fleet suffered a lot of losses in this battle. But the results gained were undoubtedly greater than their losses. What's more, although German Home Fleet suffered heavy losses, Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet undoubtedly have very strong strength. Once these two fleets also participate in this naval battle, German Navy will easily win the final victory.
"Your Excellency Commander, there are still three hours until dark. We can still continue to launch attacks and further cause serious damage to Americans and British." Lieutenant General Hans suggested.
Marshal Lütjens nodded. "Are the first wave of returning Carrier-based aircraft ready again?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Hans replied.
"Okay then, order the first wave of aircraft to take off again and launch the third round of attacks. At the same time, let the second wave of aircraft accelerate back and strive to launch the fourth round of strikes. This time, we are going to injure American Navy and British Navy in one fell swoop!" Marshal Lütjens ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Hans immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon, German Navy's eight aircraft carriers began to take off Carrier-based aircraft again. Carrier-based aircraft, which had refueled and replenished ammunition, flew away from the aircraft carrier and rushed towards US and British Navy, preparing to further cause greater losses to them. After the nine large fleet aircraft carriers of American Navy were sunk, it was the turn of the eight medium-sized aircraft carriers of British Navy.
When American and British fleets's air search Radar once again discovered the incoming German carrier-based aircraft group, the generals of the two navies turned pale. Especially the generals of British Royal Navy looked even more ugly. You don't need to think about it to know that the Germany people's target this time will be them.
However, besides ordering the fleet to prepare for air defense and face German carrier-based aircraft group, do they have other options? Although American and British fleets still has some fighters left. But there are not many left. In addition, the pilots were also frightened. Now if they were allowed to continue to fight in the air, I'm afraid no one would be willing. Rather than that, it would be better to devote the entire army to air defense operations.
Although the number of Carrier-based aircraft launched by German Navy in the third round of attacks is far less than that in the first round of attacks. However, it is still something that cannot be underestimated.
During the first round of attacks, the Carrier-based aircraft group included 144 carrier-based FW-190 fighters, 144 Dive Bomber and 120 Torpedo Bomber. But now, there are only 108 carrier-based FW-190 fighters left in the Carrier-based aircraft group, 104 Dive Bomber and 76 Torpedo Bomber.
"Attack the medium-sized aircraft carriers of target British Navy and sink them all!" Commander of German carrier-based aircraft group gave the order.
"Dong dong dong!"
The anti-aircraft firepower of British Royal Navy also opened fire, and 127mm Anti-aircraft Gun, one after another, took the lead in attacking. When the distance between the two sides further narrowed, the 40mm Anti-aircraft Gun and the 20mm Anti-aircraft Gun also started shooting. Dense artillery shells roared and exploded in the sky, forming a dense air defense fire network.
"Woo!"
A shrill roar sounded, and Dive Bomber of German Navy, under the cover of fighter jets, began to attack the escort warship of British Royal Navy. It's still the same tactic, first sink the outer escort warships, and then attack the core aircraft carrier.
"Open fire and shoot down German aircraft. You must hold on. Otherwise, everything will be over!"
"Boom! Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and a destroyer was broken into two pieces at the explosion, and soon sank into the cold Atlantic Ocean.
As destroyers and cruisers were sunk one after another, the aircraft carriers at the heart of the fleet also began to come under attack.
The first one to be sunk was the USS Brave aircraft carrier British Navy. This aircraft carrier with a displacement of 22,500 tons was hit by more than a dozen heavy-duty aircraft Armor-piercing Shell. The entire hull was riddled with holes and burst into flames. In addition, as many as eight heavy aviation Torpedo hit the aircraft carrier. Such serious injuries caused the aircraft carrier to sink into the sea quickly.
Following the sinking of the aircraft carrier USS Brave, was the aircraft carrier USS Victory. This aircraft carrier has a displacement of up to 23,000 tons. But under German carrier-based aircraft group and Encirclement Offensive, the only life left was to be sunk.
German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft shuttled among the anti-aircraft firepower. Some fighters were less lucky and were shot down by the anti-aircraft firepower. However, some fighters had better luck and successfully dropped bombs on the enemy aircraft carrier.
Countless warships were hit and were burning and sinking slowly.
"Damn it! Will our aircraft carrier be sunk by all the Germany people?" John? Admiral Tovey looked ugly.
Andrew? Admiral Cunningham, said nothing. But from his tightly clenched fists, you could see how nervous he was.
Under the attack of German carrier-based aircraft group, the aircraft carriers of British Navy were sunk one after another.
Although their anti-aircraft firepower also shot down many German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft. However, they could not prevent their aircraft carrier from being sunk. Judging from the current battle situation, British Navy also lost.
And German Navy, after experiencing the initial heavy losses, has begun to reap their victories.
