"The fleet, Britain and Americans have too many fighters." A German military TA-152 fighter had just shot down a P-51 fighter, but was then bitten by another P-51 fighter, forcing him to use all his strength to get rid of the enemy.
"This is good. I think after this air battle, we will have many ace pilots. Even super ace pilots!" A squadron leader said with a smile.
Indeed, the U. S. and British forces dispatched too many fighter jets, which put a lot of pressure on the German Air Force and the Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit. Although the performance of their fighters is more advanced, the quality of their pilots is also more effective. But air combat is originally a fast-paced battle. If you are not careful, the fighter plane may be shot down. German military pilots often have to face the embarrassing situation of being unable to defeat four hands with two fists. This also caused the number of German military fighter aircraft losses to continue to soar.
Of course, even so, the number of fighters lost by German military is far less than that of the US and British forces. Those excellent pilots, relying on their skillful skills, hunted down the American and British fighter planes, allowing their results to continue to rise.
Among the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Air Force and Navy, the one who shot down five enemy aircraft is considered an ace pilot. However, there are many ace pilots among German Air Force and the navy's fighter units. Whether on the Russian front or the Atlantic Ocean battlefield, the German Air Force and the navy's carrier-based fighter units have achieved excellent results.
In order to ensure control of air superiority, German Air Force and the navy's carrier-based fighter pilots tried their best. In the air battle on December 1, they shot down more than 600 U. S. and British fighter jets. And its own losses soared to two hundred. This kind of battle damage is much higher than the battle damage on November 30.
However, on the afternoon of December 1, German Navy and the Air Force were supplemented by three hundred fighter jets. This allows German Air Force and the navy to continue to hold on in the coming battle.
Even though they suffered heavy losses, US Army Air Corps and Royal Air Force still chose to continue to hold on.
United States Commander of the Army Air Corps Combat Forces Officer Delos? Lieutenant General Mons believed that as long as the fight continued, the final victory would definitely belong to them.
"General, I don't deny that our losses are huge. We lost more fighter planes than German aircraft. However, how many fighters do Germany people have in total near Newfoundland? As it is If they continue to lose speed, they will be exhausted in a few days, and it is not that easy for the Germany people to replenish the front line with fighter jets," Lieutenant General Delos E Mons advised.
Henry? General Arnold When I got Battle Damage Report, I was really distressed. Such losses are somewhat unbearable for the large-scale US Army Air Corps.
Although, United States has now entered a wartime state. The number of fighter jets produced throughout the year exceeds 10,000. But these fighters are not just fighters, they also include Bomber, transport aircraft, Reconnaissance Aircraft, various Carrier-based aircraft, etc. In fact, the number of fighter jets obtained every month is only five to six hundred. Now, the combined losses of the U. S. and British troops exceed five to six hundred aircraft every day. At this rate, the fighter jets gained in one month are not enough to be lost in one day. Even if United States is rich, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive!
"The key is that the battle loss ratio is too high! Today's battle loss ratio is 3 to 1. We have to pay the price of three fighters to get one German military fighter. If the battle loss ratio can be reduced to 2 to 1 or even 1 to 1, our pressure will be much less." Henry? General Arnold said.
"General, this is undoubtedly very difficult. After all, we are indeed at a disadvantage compared to the Germany people. It is almost impossible to reduce the battle loss to 1:1. As for 2:1, if we work harder, there should not be too much of a problem." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons said.
Henry? General Arnold nodded. He also knew that when the performance of the fighter jets and the quality of the pilots were not as good as German military, it was indeed a bit difficult to reduce the battle losses to 1:1.
"Britain people have suffered heavy losses, especially Royal Air Force, who have almost lost all of them. I'm afraid they won't be able to participate in the next battle." Henry? General Arnold said.
Lieutenant General Delos E Mons nodded. "In that case, we will have to mobilize more fighters."
"General Mons, our losses are too great. With losses of this magnitude, we can hold on for at most three days! If German Air Force and the navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit cannot be defeated in three days, we will have to stop such tactics." Henry? General Arnold said.
"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons nodded. He also knew that Henry? General Arnold was under great pressure because of the huge losses. Within Army Air Corps, and even in the army, many generals are already dissatisfied with this.
"May God protect us!" Henry? General Arnold said.
On December 2, US Army Air Corps, American Navy shore-based troops and British Navy shore-based troops once again dispatched more than a thousand fighter jets to compete with German Air Force and Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit for air supremacy over Cape Breton Island.
In the air battle on this day, the US and British forces lost more than 500 fighter planes. And German military lost more than two hundred fighters. The battle loss ratio further dropped to 2.5 to 1.
On December 3, the air battle continued. However, because the British army was no longer able to participate in the air battle. This forced US Army Air Corps and the navy's shore-based forces to take over the entire air battle.
In this day's air battle, the US military lost more than 500 fighter planes. But they still only caused the loss of more than two hundred fighters to German Air Force and Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit.
On December 4, the US military attempted to defeat German Air Force and Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit in one fell swoop, investing more than 1,500 fighter planes at once. However, they once again lost more than 500 fighter planes in the air battle on this day. But the losses they caused to German Air Force and the navy also rose to more than 300 aircraft.
But it is a pity that German Air Force and the navy continue to receive support from new troops from the mainland. This allowed German Air Force and the navy to survive despite heavy losses.
On the other hand, US Army Air Corps can no longer support itself because it has lost more than 2,000 fighter planes.
