"General, Home Fleet is really Audacious this time! They saved Aircraft Carrier Formation at the cost of losing the entire Capital Ships formation. At the same time, they also launched a timely counterattack, inflicting heavy damage in one fell swoop. American and British fleets. I have to admit that their plan is too risky. If you are not careful, it may lead to the annihilation of the entire army." Mediterranean Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation Commander Lieutenant General Schlemel said with emotion.
"Yes, it was indeed too Audacious. However, they were also very lucky. In other words, Americans and British was too stupid. They dispatched more than 1,200 Carrier-based aircrafts, but suffered heavy losses under the interception of Home Fleet carrier-based fighters. Moreover, the target of the attack was Home Fleet's Capital Ships, without further searching for Aircraft Carrier Formation. Otherwise, Home Fleet would have suffered heavy losses this time," Lieutenant General Cramer also said.
Hull Admiral Man Boehm nodded. "No matter what, Home Fleet won this time. Moreover, it also created an opportunity for us to beat the drowned dog. We cannot let go of this opportunity."
"Yes, General. According to the position of Telegram and American and British fleets sent by Home Fleet, it is almost a thousand kilometers away from us. They should be sailing west. We only need to turn slightly, like this After dawn, we will be able to close the distance to within 400 kilometers. With the strength of our Carrier-based aircraft group, if we launch an attack, it will be enough to further severely damage American and British fleets," Lieutenant General Shremel said excitedly.
Because Mediterranean Fleet is relatively weak, he has always played a supporting role whether in Battle of the Azores or in the attack on Bermuda Islands. This time, they had an opportunity to get a big deal, and of course they wouldn't let it go.
"Well, American and British fleets now only has 4 light aircraft carriers and 16 Capital Ships left. And their Carrier-based aircraft group also suffered heavy losses. If we launch an attack, they will not be able to withstand it." Hull Admiral Man Boehm said.
"General Shremel, how big is our Carrier-based aircraft group?" General Hull man Boehm asked.
"General, during the interception operations in the Bermuda Islands waters, we lost some carrier-based fighter jets. However, overall the losses were not large. Now, among our five aircraft carriers, there are a total of 106 carrier-based fighter jets and 152 If the Dive Bomber and 152 Torpedo Bomber are dispatched in two waves, they can launch at least four rounds of attacks from morning to night, which will be enough to cause further heavy damage to the American and British fleets." Lieutenant General Schleimeier said.
Hull Admiral Man Boehm nodded. "Then let's do it! After dawn tomorrow, it's time for us to perform."
On October 20, at six o'clock in the morning, it was just dawn.
German Navy Mediterranean Fleet took off more than ten seaplanes at one time. These seaplanes will search to the north, northwest and northeast of the fleet to search for the location of American and British fleets.
On the five aircraft carriers of Mediterranean Fleet, the decks are already full of Carrier-based aircraft ready to go. The carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets, Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, have been filled with fuel, loaded with ammunition, and are ready to attack at any time.
At this moment, on American and British fleets, the flagship 'Montana' Battleship, Admiral Ernest King's eyes were red, like a rabbit. In the ashtray in front of him, the pile of cigarette butts already looked like a hill.
"Is there no news about Hunter Killer Group yet?" General Ernest King asked.
He has been waiting all night, hoping to wait for the good news of Hunter Killer Group. But unfortunately, there is no news so far. This also made General Ernest King's mood become worse and worse.
"General, no news so far," a staff officer reported.
Obviously, Hunter Killer Group failed this time. Maybe they never found Aircraft Carrier Formation for German Navy. Therefore, there will be no news. If Aircraft Carrier Formation of German Navy has been found, and an attack has been launched. Then, I will definitely report it to the flagship. So far it has been silent, which is enough to explain the problem.
"General Jin, it seems that our plan failed. Hunter Killer Group failed to find Germany people." John? Admiral Tovey looked regretful.
"Alas! It seems that God is not on our side. Order the fleet to speed up immediately and prepare to return." Admiral Ernest King ordered helplessly.
When the counterattack plan failed, they could only preserve their strength as much as possible.
John? Admiral Tovey nodded, and then returned to British Royal Navy's flagship.
"General, the air search Radar found several targets. According to analysis, they should be seaplanes." A staff officer suddenly reported.
"What? Are the Germany people chasing me again?" General Ernest Jin was very nervous.
With American and British fleets's current strength, if they are attacked by German carrier-based aircraft group again, then they will really be powerless and unable to withstand it anymore.
"Lieutenant General Halsey asks for instructions, do you need to take off a fighter jet to shoot down Germany's seaplane!"
"Well, immediately take off the fighter jets and shoot down the Germany people's seaplane. Our position cannot be leaked." Admiral Ernest King ordered.
Subsequently, several F4U fighter plane took off from American Navy's 'Independence-class' aircraft carrier and attacked German military's seaplane.
Several seaplanes were undoubtedly shot down by the US military's F4U fighter plane. However, they had already sent Telegram before they were shot down.
German Navy Mediterranean Fleet responded immediately after receiving the Telegram of these seaplanes. They can already roughly determine the location of American and British fleets. Under such circumstances, General Hull Mann Boehm decisively ordered Carrier-based aircraft to attack!
A few minutes later, Carrier-based aircraft began to take off from the aircraft carrier German Navy Mediterranean Fleet. One 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carrier, plus four 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carriers. Although it does not carry as many Carrier-based aircraft as the other two fleets, it is still very powerful.
In the first wave of aircraft fleet, Mediterranean Fleet took off 48 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets, 66 Dive Bomber and 66 Torpedo Bomber. The second wave of aircraft fleet that is about to take off will also be of this size. The spare aircraft remained.
