The Cape Breton Island air battle on November 30 lasted until the sun went down. Royal Air Force, US Army Air Corps 1st Air Force and 2nd Air Force, as well as German Air Force and German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit, who participated in the war, can be said to have participated in the war with losses and were exhausted.
Almost every pilot who survived had participated in two or more battles. It can be seen how large the scale of this air battle was and how tragic the battle was.
Of course, in this battle, the number of aircraft lost was also very large. Royal Air Force After this battle, it almost existed in name only. They lost more than 500 fighter planes throughout the day. The number of remaining fighter jets in the entire Royal Air Force is already less than two hundred.
US Army Air Corps 1st Air Force and 2nd Air Force, who joined the war later, also suffered heavy losses. The two Air Corps fighter units add up to more than 700 aircraft. But after this battle, there were less than a hundred fighter jets left that could continue to fight.
Similarly, German Air Force and German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit lost more than two hundred fighter jets in this battle. This battle loss may be much less than that of Royal Air Force and US Army Air Corps. But don't forget, German Air Force and the navy have only a small number of fighter jets in Newfoundland and nearby waters.
US Army Air Corps can also continuously dispatch aircraft Kitakami reinforcements from across the country, but German Air Force and the navy are limited by the number of airports and aircraft carriers, and the number of fighter jets is very limited. If you want to add something, you have to go all the way across Atlantic Ocean. In comparison, US Army Air Corps and Royal Air Force naturally have the advantage.
Fortunately, in today's air battle, German Air Force and the navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit successfully held back Royal Air Force and US Army Air Corps, creating favorable conditions for German Marine Corps's attack.
The three divisions of German Marine Corps successfully completed the planned combat objectives, defeated British Army, and occupied New Waterford, Port Morion and Fort Lewis.
Starting from the evening of November 30, German Army 1st Army Corps began to log in on Cape Breton Island. Armored Forces and heavy artillery troops all disembarked through Port Morien. In this case, the landing speed of the troops will be greatly accelerated.
Next, as long as the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Air Force and Navy can continue to withstand the attacks of Royal Air Force and US Army Air Corps, ensure air superiority. German Army and Marine Corps can continue to launch an attack, sweeping British Army on the island and occupying the entire Cape Breton Island.
Once German Army captures Cape Breton Island, more airports can be built on the island and more German Air Force fighter planes can be deployed to further strengthen German Air Force's power in this airspace. It would be completely impossible for Royal Air Force and US Army Air Corps to snatch the air superiority from German Air Force.
"Gentlemen, tonight, Imperial Army's 1st Army Corps will begin to land. 1st Armored Division, 11th Mechanized Infantry Division and 12th Mechanized Infantry Division will all land tonight. Tomorrow morning, the army can cooperate with Marine Corps to launch an attack on Sydney and have a decisive battle with the British army. I hope Hopefully, in the next two to three days, we can still ensure air superiority on Cape Breton Island. Even if we cannot provide air support to the army and Marine Corps, we can at least ensure that they will not be bombed by Britain and Americans!" Marshal Blomberg said.
"Your Excellency, we suffered heavy losses in today's battle. Although Britain and Americans suffered greater losses than us. However, they will definitely launch a larger-scale attack. Therefore, the scale of tomorrow's air battle will probably be larger." 1st Air Group Commander General Ulrich Groult said.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Britain and Americans suffered a big loss in today's air battle. They will definitely not swallow this breath." Lieutenant General Home Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation Commander Hans also said.
Marshal Blomberg nodded. "But tomorrow and the next battle are very important. I hope Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Air Force and Navy can do their best."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Both Admiral Ulrich Groult and Lieutenant General Hans replied.
After the meeting, Admiral Ulrich Groult, as well as Aircraft Carrier Formation and Commander of several fleets of the Navy, all sent Telegram to China, requesting that China send reinforcements to Newfoundland starting tomorrow. They all know very well that once they start to compete with Royal Air Force and US Army Air Corps for consumption, their replenishment must be timely. Otherwise, once the replenishment is not timely, you may fall into a disadvantage and be suppressed by US Army Air Corps and Royal Air Force.
Similarly, US Army Air Corps Commander Henry? General Arnold also looked livid after receiving the damage reports of 1st Air Force and 2nd Air Force.
"General, in the air battle with the Germany people, our losses were too great. If we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to suppress them at all. On the contrary, the losses will become greater and greater. We must think of other ways." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons said.
"What suggestions do you have?" Henry? General Arnold asked.
"General, I have to admit that the fighter jets of German Air Force and the Navy are very powerful, and the quality of their pilots is also better than ours. However, their biggest disadvantage is the insufficient number of fighter jets. We can send as many fighter jets as possible in tomorrow's air battle. In terms of quantity, Completely suppress them. Then, use this advantage to severely damage them, or even defeat them. This will have the final say and even seize Cape Breton Island's air control in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Delos E Mons suggested.
Henry? General Arnold thought for a while, and then nodded. "Now it is true that we cannot continue to fight with the Germany people. We must defeat them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, we will pay a greater price."
"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons replied. Henry? General Arnold obviously supports his plan.
"In tomorrow's air battle, send as many troops as possible to defeat the Germany people in one fell swoop. Not only will we be dispatched, but the shore-based troops of the navy will also be dispatched. In addition, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy will also do their best! I hope the winner will be determined tomorrow!" Henry? General Arnold said.
