US Army Air Corps, Commander offices.
Commander of the Army Air Corps Combat Forces Officer Delos? Lieutenant General Mons stood dejectedly in front of Henry? General Arnold's desk.
"General, can you give me another chance? Today we have caused the Germany people to lose more than 300 fighter jets. The battle loss ratio has dropped to 1.7 to 1. If this continues, we will soon make the Germany people unable to support themselves." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons requested.
General Henry Arnold shook his head. "General Emmons, I really want to give you another chance. But unfortunately, it's not that I won't give you a chance now. It's that we have no choice. Although we shot down 300 German fighter jets today, our losses are still more than 500. Over the past few days, we have lost more than 2,000 fighter jets. Not only have we suffered heavy losses, but the navy has also suffered heavy losses. The British Air Force and Navy have lost no more fighter jets."
"General, we still have a lot of fighter jets. We can continue to engage in combat." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons continued.
After all, US Marine Corps is much richer in comparison. Even the huge losses these days have left them feeling a bit shaken. However, if you want to continue to hold on, it is not impossible.
However, Henry? General Arnold still shook his head.
"General Mons, we have just received the latest information. Before dark, the Germany people have been replenished. More than five hundred fighter jets took off from German homeland and passed by Wei and Iceland have landed on the aircraft carrier of Newfoundland and Germany. In fact, Germany has already completed the attack on Newfoundland. The two airports on have been expanded. This allows them to deploy more fighters on Newfoundland. If we continue to launch large-scale attacks, not only will it not give us any advantage, but it will also allow us. We will have to pay greater losses. We don't have many fighter planes left, and there are still more battles to be fought. We can't lose all our fighters in this air battle," Henry? General Arnold said.
Lieutenant General Delos E Mons looked very ugly. Germany had been sending reinforcements to Newfoundland in a steady stream. He knew this very well. Otherwise, with the total number of German Air Force and German Navy fighters, they would have been lost long ago.
"General, if we don't hold back German Air Force and the navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit, it may be difficult for both Britain and us to withstand the attack of the Germany people." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons said.
Henry? General Arnold nodded. "Maybe that situation will happen. But, we have tried our best. You know? Because of the huge losses, many pilots are afraid to fight against the Germany people again. I dare say that if the attack on Heyi continues, all the pilots will refuse to take off to fight in less than two days."
Lieutenant General Delos E Mons suddenly turned pale. He knew that the pilots of US Army Air Corps were indeed frightened by the huge losses. Even if they love their country very much, if they are asked to die, many people will probably refuse.
"General, I understand. But even if we don't compete with German military with all our strength, we still have to dispatch some fighter planes to contain the Germany people's air power. In this case, the pressure on the army will be less." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons suggested.
"Well, I know!" Henry? General Arnold replied.
However, in view of the war on Cape Breton Island, the role US Army Air Corps can play is probably very small.
After German Air Force completed the expansion of the airport on Newfoundland, it is now possible to deploy almost two aviation clusters on this island. The number of fighter jets alone has risen to 720. If three German Navy fleets and Aircraft Carrier Formation are added, the number of fighter jets may reach about 1,500. This is already a very large number. Unless US Army Air Corps dispatches all its fighters, it will be impossible to fight against German Air Force and Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit. Even if they continue to fight like this, they won't be able to hold on. The production speed of Germany fighter aircraft is not slower than that of United States. Coupled with German military's advantages in fighter performance and pilot quality, this will give German military a greater advantage. The US military is completely at a disadvantage. If we continue to fight, it will be very detrimental to the US military.
In addition, on the ground battlefield of Cape Breton Island, German Army and Marine Corps also gained advantages. German Army 1st Army Corps and Marine Corps were in Sydney, encircling and annihilating the British troops stationed here. British Army The fourth Armored Division, the entire army was wiped out. The rest of the infantry was almost wiped out. This greatly weakened the strength of the British army on Cape Breton Island.
Now, German 1st Army Corps has launched an attack to the south of Cape Breton Island. Even though the British army dispatched many troops from Nova Scotia peninsula to reinforce. But I'm afraid it still can't stop German offensive.
In the case where German military had absolute superiority in sea and air, even though the British army was very brave and resisted tenaciously, they were still easily defeated by German military.
When the overwhelming artillery shells and bombs fall from the sky and hit the heads of the British troops, even the bravest troops will suffer heavy losses. And Steel Torrent, composed of German armored forces, is completely capable of running rampant and tearing apart the British defense line wantonly.
British Army made repeated requests, hoping that US Army 1st Army Corps could land on Cape Breton Island and assist the British army in countering German offensive. But US Army seemed to be frightened by the Germany people. They would rather take over Nova Scotia peninsula's defense than log in to Cape Breton Island and German military to compete.
The same goes for US 2nd Army Corps, who arrived on the battlefield later.
Compared with the small Cape Breton Island, the Nova Scotia peninsula has a larger turning space. If the battle goes unfavorably, they can retreat quickly. But if you board Cape Breton Island, if the war goes against you and you want to retreat, it will not be that easy.
It is for this reason that the British army was unable to stop German offensive on Cape Breton Island. In the end, even British Army himself seemed to have accepted his fate.
On the afternoon of December 7, the remaining British troops evacuated Cape Breton Island and retreated Nova Scotia peninsula. The entire Cape Breton Island fell into the hands of German military.
