"Boo! Boo!" On the British battleship Queen Elizabeth, countless air defense machine guns and anti-aircraft guns desperately opened fire against the sky. The soldiers sent the ammunition boxes to each anti-aircraft position with the most efficient speed. Tumbling everywhere was the steaming shell that had been ejected out of the bomb bay.
"Open fire! Stop those German planes from approaching the fleet!" Looking at the sky, the superior number of American fighters that did not win at all, all antiaircraft air defense commanders were extremely anxious. Once the air dominance is lost, the fleet here may be screened by the German carrier aircraft.
The British Navy and the US Navy are very aware of the situation in the Pacific. They know that even if they have a powerful battleship and lose the protection of the aircraft carrier, these dinosaur-like behemoths will still be torn into pieces by small carrier-like aircraft like mosquitoes. This is true of the Japanese Navy, so of course the Allied fleet is no exception.
The US Navy ’s carrier-based aircraft was entangled in the periphery by German naval aviation, and did not exert much air defense energy. The rest of the matter seemed to be completed by the fleet ’s own air defense firepower. So all the soldiers in the antiaircraft artillery position were full of energy, using their weapons to fire at the German carrier aircraft desperately.
A Stuka dive bomber dragged thick black smoke across the chimney of the battleship Ramirez, and then it staggered into the distant sea, where it exploded to form a huge water column. Without time to cheer, the Royal Navy ’s anti-aircraft gunners began shooting at the next target. Before the German planes in the sky disappeared, no one could guarantee that they were absolutely safe.
A cruiser in the distance suddenly exploded, presumably hit by a torpedo dropped by the German navy. The old cruiser was turning its bow. It seemed that it wanted to avoid the other party's attack, but it finally failed. Of course, no one cares about the life and death of a cruiser now. That is obviously the work of a nearby destroyer. Everyone still considers air defense as their first task. After all, the hovering German aircraft is not a joke.
Because the battle has just begun, the fleet formation of the British Royal Navy is still very complete, and the number of inferior Allied carrier aircraft has not been exhausted, so the first Bode German air raids have not achieved the desired results. In the end, only 34 aircraft returned, which was definitely a huge loss for the German naval aviation.
The face of Lütjens who had received the loss report changed color. He shuddered and squeezed the loss list with his hand. He almost wanted to give an order to let the fleet turn around and leave the sea. The less elite naval aviation forces have their air defense networks at least twice as tight as expected, and this naval battle is not easy to win. "
"The order of the head of state is to eliminate the Allied Sea Force as much as possible. If our seven aircraft carriers can't beat the enemy's three, then the United States has completed its suppression of Japan on the Pacific battlefield, and the number of aircraft carriers drawn is more 7 ships are so simple.
Rydell is still more clear about the strategy of the head of state. He knows that Akado still fears the proud production capacity of the United States, so he must first hit the Americans with a military advantage. Advantage.
Otherwise, the production speed of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, as if dumping dumplings into the ocean, the Third Reich will soon lose control of the entire Atlantic Ocean. Even if the United States did not have the courage to land and seize Britain, would it be a huge loss for the Third Reich to lose the Atlantic?
Lütjens heard Rydell's words and pondered for a few seconds. He knows that naval aviation is not easy to replenish, but there are still reserves. Even if the German Naval Air Force loses half of its strength now, replenishing its staff and ensuring quality, the Navy can do it. So he gritted his teeth and made a hard decision to continue the fight: "Order! Take off the third wave of attack aircraft! I want to see if the American carrier-based aircraft is a copper wall or not! Is it really true? Invulnerability! "
He gave the order to continue the attack, so on the aircraft carrier deck of the German navy fleet, the third wave of attack aircraft units that had been prepared to continue began to start his own engine and let the propeller rotate against the wind. With the passwords one after another, these Stuka bombers have more fw190 fighters, one after another rushed into the sky, above the aircraft carrier, assembled into a neat attack formation, flying away .
Watching these planes take off again, Lütjens pulled out his pocket watch nervously and looked at it at 1 pm. The results of the second wave of attack aircraft have not yet arrived. Now Lutejens is most afraid of letting the British drag the decisive time of the naval battle to the weakest night of the German navy.
"Marshal Redell! Let's prepare the battleship unit and the heavy cruiser unit. If the fleet cannot win in the daytime, then the enemy will definitely come over at night and try to use artillery to divide the victory." Tucked into his pocket, he advised the Marshal Redell around him.
Redell nodded, of course he knew what the other party was insisting on at this time. The first reason is that if the Allied fleet retreats northward, the slower transport fleet will be exposed to the blow of the German navy; the second is because the other party still has the mentality to reverse the war and is ready to bite the German navy. .
At the same time, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Royal Ark, Dudley Bond looked at the wreckage of the cruiser that had begun to sink through the porthole and issued a command to approach the German fleet: "Turn! The direction is east, lean on the German fleet!"
In accordance with Lütjens's guess, the veteran general of the British Royal Navy was fighting the abacus of the German high seas fleet at this moment. He even thought more ideally, that is, using the German fleet to consume the US fleet, and then night came, and the British navy battleships defeated the German fleet.
In this way, Britain can end the war more decently, and even seek the possibility of seizing the homeland under the control of the Atlantic over Britain. Dudley Bond does not care about the loss, because compared to the upstart Germany, the Royal Navy also has battleships, and it still loses!
In addition, there is a dark arrow that is shooting behind the German high seas fleet. Dudley Bond was secretly excited about his plan: He quietly ordered the Royal Navy ’s battleship USS Scoundrel and the battleship USS Nelson on the west side of Iceland to move southeast from its original position, and it was just able to move into the night. Arrived to the battlefield, encircling the German fleet.
Counting the two battleships, the four battleships of the British Navy fought back and forth, and they had a quantitative advantage. As long as the German fleet was sunk by half, the control of the sea in the Atlantic was once again in the hands of the Royal Navy.
"Signal to the USS Franklin! Let them take off all combat fighters. Be sure to ensure the safety of the fleet before nightfall!" Dudley Pound watched the bow of the sunken cruiser finally sink. A command was added to the surface of the sea and said: "The carrier aircraft of the Royal Ark Carrier will also take off! It is better to hesitate to fight the Germans, then we will win the game!"
As Dudley Bond expected, just a few minutes ago, Lütjens was indeed shaken. He hesitated to take off more carrier-based aircraft, and fight with the other party to fight down. But Dudley Pound missed the determination of a German head of state for this naval battle! No one knows the speed advantage of the US Navy better than Akado, and missed this decisive battle. When we meet again, it is possible that the number of American aircraft carriers will be the same as that of the Germans.
This was obviously not what Akado wanted to see, so he decided that before the Americans mobilized more power, they would eat up the Royal Navy and the US aircraft carrier Franklin. It was just a free dish that was accidentally obtained.
"Take off the fourth wave of attacking aircraft groups!" Lütjens, who owns 7 aircraft carriers before and after, has finally experienced a wealthy local addiction. When he came down hard and planned to wipe out the Allied Atlantic Fleet, the German carrier fleet finally showed its advantages to wait for the Allied Fleet ’s carrier to take off the third wave of fighters to intercept the German aircraft, Germany has already taken off the 4th The wave attack aircraft rushed towards the Allied fleet.
And at this time, the second wave of attack aircraft appeared over the Allied fleet, and the loss of the US Navy fighter pilots immediately rose to a new height: at the beginning, the Germans did not arrange so many fighter escorts; the second wave As many as 28 German fighters were escorted by the attack aircraft, and only 16 American fighters were left in an instant.
Watching one after another friendly fighter jet in the sky was shot down, the Allied fleet began to worry about whether they could support it until night. After all, this is a naval battle that determines fate. Dudley Bond finally clenched his fists and issued an order to make the carrier aircraft on the Royal Ark take off early.
"In a short period of time, the determination to make a decisive battle has been made. The Germans have no need to fight back. Does the commander of the other party have a strong iron heart like Nelson?" Unconsciously, on his forehead Dudley Bond, already sweaty, whispered softly.
