Fletcher's careful arrangements proved to be useless in the end. Under the attack of the excellent FW190A fighter jets, both the fighter units separated from the first wave of fleets and the direct guard aircraft hovering over the fleet were all at high speed.

The shrike, which is extremely fast and extremely powerful, was defeated and fell into the sand.

.Historically, the Hellcat, which once slaughtered Zero fighters like turkeys in Mariana, was so unlucky in this dimension that it was knocked to the ground by an old punch from the German fw190 fighter. At this time, in addition to ship-borne anti-aircraft guns

Besides, there is no force left that can stop the German air strikes!

"Huh? Why are there only two aircraft carriers, one large and one small? Where is the other aircraft carrier?" When the Germans flew over the fleet, they suddenly found that the situation was a little different. The other party was supposed to have two large aircraft carriers, but in fact

But it went in and out again. Where did the other large fleet aircraft carrier go?

Gone? Forget it, don’t think about that, let’s take action on these battleships first. With a wave of the captain’s hand, more than 40 various attack aircraft were divided into two groups and flew towards the distant target. One group was 25 various bombers.

Responsible for attacking the large fleet aircraft carrier Bunker Hill, and the other 18 aircraft attack the light aircraft carrier!

The first fighter force to enter the battlefield, these aircraft shuttled lightly among the barrages woven by anti-aircraft guns, and used fierce firepower to suppress the aircraft carrier's anti-aircraft firepower. Both sides fired wildly with machine guns, and a fw190 fighter jet flew lightly.

Press head, 4-door mechanism

The artillery and two machine guns fired an oval barrage. As the aircraft moved, this barrage moved along the anti-aircraft gun decks on both sides of the aircraft carrier. The flying shells and exploding shrapnel jumped to destroy everything they could touch.

, in just a few seconds, several gun positions were in a mess!

"Concentrate fire and destroy them!" The angry US officers and soldiers controlled the machine guns and chased the aircraft, firing out a series of shells. An FW190 aircraft was accidentally cut off half of its wing by a 40mm shell. Just as the Americans were cheering

While shouting his victory, the plane that was destined to be shot down staggered into the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill which was maneuvering at high speed! The huge impact force directly smashed the thin steel plate on the side of the hangar. Then it turned into a rolling

of fire

The ball rolled and exploded inside the aircraft carrier! A fighter jet with remaining fuel and ammunition caused much more damage than a 500kg high-explosive bomb! This heroic German pilot used his own life to destroy less than half of the Essex aircraft carrier.

The hangar turned into a sea of ​​​​fire! The sound of explosions came from the hangar. The violent explosion even blew a side elevator into the sea! By the way, it caught up with the gun emplacement of the small half-la anti-aircraft gun deck and hundreds of U.S. troops.

Officers and soldiers!

After this attack, the USS Bunker Hill aircraft carrier's anti-aircraft firepower was greatly reduced, and the remaining bombers filed in and dropped bombs and torpedoes on this poor guy! In the first wave of attacks, two 500kg high-explosive bombs roared from

It fell off the pylon. One shot bounced off the heavy armor without causing any damage, while the other shot hit the narrow bridge. The huge

The power directly killed less than half of the people on the bridge! It also destroyed the nearby flue. Then there were two more bombs. One penetrated from the rear deck and exploded above the drive shaft, although the armor plate blocked the bomb.

fragments. However, it caused a local fire. The fourth bomb fell on the anti-aircraft gun emplacement, and a series of explosions completely destroyed the anti-aircraft firepower on one side!

Finally, the most deadly attack came. Six torpedo planes launched the attack with almost no obstruction. The six torpedoes spread out in a fan shape. The Germans were very courageous. A JU90 torpedo plane even attacked at a distance of 600 meters.

Just dropped the torpedoes! Three of the six torpedoes hit, all on the same side, which caused the blockhouse that was already on fire to

The Baoshan finally came to an end, and the fire on the ship was out of control. Some of the power equipment also stopped working, and the three large holes in the hull on the other side also allowed the warship to pour thousands of tons of seawater in at an extreme time. Soon this

The tilt angle of the battleship reached an extent that could not be corrected. In a series of explosions, the U.S. Navy lost their first fleet aircraft carrier!

If Bunker Hill could still bounce a few times in the face of the German butcher knife, then another light aircraft carrier didn't even have a chance to bounce! Three rounds of 500kg armor-piercing bombs simply solved this problem with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.

Guy, two bombs directly turned the hangar into a sea of ​​​​fire. And the other bomb

It fell directly near the fuel tank. The violent explosion caused the leakage of the aviation gasoline tank. Then it encountered an open flame in the hangar and an unstoppable explosion occurred! After a series of explosions, the battleship sank with raging fire.

to the bottom of the sea. In less than half an hour, two U.S. aircraft carriers were brutally murdered!

The German Eagles, who had obtained two big fish in a row, were still unsatisfied and hovered over the remaining American fleet. After fighting for a long time, there was still no German attack aircraft that was dropped by the bombs under the wings. This made the Germans very unhappy! They seemed to be hovering.

The vultures above the dead bodies were generally looking for the next victim. Another aircraft carrier did not appear for a long time. As time passed by, the German aircraft continued to lose fuel.

In the end, based on the principle of choosing a big bomb, they focused on a heavy cruiser that was not very lucky. Under the attack of the remaining ten bombers and torpedo planes, the cruiser and a destroyer next to it were also destroyed.

The heavy cruiser was sunk cleanly by 2 torpedoes. The destroyer was directly smashed through the ammunition depot by a 500kg bomb and turned into an oversized firework and finally disappeared on the sea!

After throwing away all the bombs, the Germans looked at the wreckage on the sea and were finally satisfied, until...until they found an aircraft carrier emerging from a cumulonimbus cloud! "What luck!" Fletcher said.

The German plane crossed himself and looked at the horizon with great reluctance.

The group sighed. In fact, Fletcher's flagship Essex did not run very far, after all, the time was too short. But fortunately, he took his aircraft carrier and destroyer to hide under the clouds, while the other two

The battleship was not so lucky, and was directly destroyed by a group of aircraft. This

At that time, Fletcher, who had escaped the disaster, did not have the courage to stay on the battlefield any longer. In the Noh wheel attack just now, his aircraft carrier dispatched 45 aircraft of various types, accounting for about half of all the aircraft!

Throw away the lost direct satellite aircraft. His current aviation power is really no better than a single

How strong are the light aircraft carriers? God knows if the Germans will have a second wave of attacks. If there are another 50 aircraft, I will definitely kneel down! As for the aircraft sent out, it depends on the situation. If you can save it, save it. If you hesitate a little bit,

If so, it might cost thousands of lives!

Just as the German aircraft fleet was happily massacring its opponents, the American aircraft fleet finally reached the radar detection range of the German aircraft carrier. Yes, you read that right. After flying for a long time, they were only discovered by the opponent. At this time, they were within a few meters of the radar.

Del's fleet was still about 150 kilometers away, and it would take more than half an hour to fly. When it reached a distance of about 100 kilometers, they encountered the Shrikes who were waiting in full formation! While intercepting the German attacking aircraft group

, this US Air Force has used about 20 fighter jets, and the final result is that less than 30 F6F fighter jets are left to cover the attack of 60 attack aircraft, and in front of them are nearly 90 FW190 fighter jets!

Redl used this time to completely clear out the fighter jets in the hangar! Six squadrons of fighter jets rushed toward their prey like a group of lions. Just the first wave of impact cost the Americans an extremely heavy price!

The roar of hundreds of cannons covered all the holy marks on the battlefield. The German fighter groups launched dive attacks in squadron units. Relying on the dual advantages of aircraft quantity and quality, the Germans easily tore apart the American defensive formation.

.Don’t talk about covering those that are traveling at extremely slow speeds.

The torpedo planes were equipped, and even self-protection became a problem. Those lone US military aircraft became the first batch of massacres. An F6F fighter struggled to avoid two dive attacks. Then it used the little kinetic energy to

With the blessing of shitty luck, I bit a fw19

0. The opponent's speed is not high, and it consumes a lot of energy. It is a very good target. Just when he was about to send the opponent back to the west, ammunition like splashing water swept from the side, and a fw190 fighter jet circled it.

side. Cleanly use a

The second commander beat the opponent into a ball of fire. A small number of American aircraft finally formed a self-protective ring formation to make the opponent's attack less easy to succeed. They persisted in resisting the opponent's attack. Seeing with their own eyes those torpedo planes and

The bomber was overtaken by the opponent and smashed into pieces!

"As an FW190 fighter pilot, my favorite thing to do is to leisurely hunt down attack aircraft that have no resistance. We can easily catch up with them and then hide in the blind spot of the opponent's rear-firing machine gun, slowly and leisurely.

If we get closer, we can even see clearly the despairing and fearful expression on the other side's face.

Just at a distance of 300 meters! You can see it clearly! Then we pulled the trigger at a distance of 200 meters. In less than 3 seconds, I could turn them into a ball of flying aluminum flakes.

!" A German pilot recorded this in his diary during the early days of the war. The language was full of comfort and cruelty.

The remaining dozens of kilometers are simply a road to hell for the American attack aircraft fleet. Several aircraft are shot down almost every minute. In the end, the number of attack aircraft that can successfully reach the visual distance of the Redel fleet will be reduced.

No more than 20! Moreover, they have been smashed to pieces and launched attacks from several directions without any plan. These remaining US aircraft struggled to survive the roar of anti-aircraft guns and machine guns.

Then they saw the opportunity to drop the bombs. The sparse firepower and enemy interference made the hit rate of these bombs low to a certain level. Except for the two destroyers on the periphery that were sunk, this wave of American attacks was completely defeated.

After losing about 18 F6F fighters and almost all attack aircraft, Fletcher completely lost the battle. At this time, he could only run away with the remaining fleet, and the farther away the better.

!

Fortunately, Redel's fleet no longer has the ability to attack the opponent in a short period of time. In addition to leaving a suitable amount of aircraft as defense, the only thing left is to recover the two groups of aircraft released. This time the Germans fought very hard.

Yes, the air exchange ratio is close to an exciting figure! The loss ratio is 3 to 1! The Americans lost three planes, and the Germans lost one! Of course, there were many torpedo planes and attack planes to make up the number, but they could fight like this

The exchange ratio is indeed beyond Redel's

Anticipation! Under the cover of the aircraft, two aircraft carriers and an aviation cruiser entered the upwind direction to recover the fleet. When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the deck for the last time, the last FW190 fighter was returned to the aircraft by the elevator.

The Battle of the South Atlantic, which Redel had been planning for months, ended with the battle lasting only 3 hours, finally came to an end. So far! Within a week, no force in the entire Atlantic Ocean could threaten Redel's aircraft carrier squadron.

!

"If the TS18 transport fleet has not gone far, we can visit them." At the celebration banquet in the evening, Redel thought about the next battle plan with humor, "In addition, what is the situation of Colonel Krank's fleet?

If possible, I hope he can participate in the next hunting feast with us! Send them a report and tell them that such an opportunity is rare, so they must seize it!" Redel thought of Ke, who had been an mt all the way for him.

Colonel Ranke said with a little shame in his heart.

"The aircraft cruiser Emden was damaged, and then its speed was greatly reduced due to damage to the power system. Because Colonel Krank lacked enough destroyers to provide anti-submarine warning, the Emden was sneak attacked by a US submarine an hour ago.

, it was sunk after being hit by two torpedoes, but before that, most of the personnel were safely transferred to other warships, and the submarine was also sunk." said an officer next to him.

"Okay, let us observe three minutes of silence for the sacrificed officers and soldiers of the German High Seas Fleet. That's it for today's banquet. Everyone, go to bed early. We still have a lot to do tomorrow." The sudden bad news cast a shadow over today's victory.

Under a layer of dust, Redel was unwilling to continue celebrating this victory. As he said, he still has a lot to do, and he must expand the results! Really hurt the Americans! "Do it.

Good anti-submarine and air defense work, our plan must not fail because of a small omission!" Before going to bed, Redel emphasized for the third time. Colonel Krank used his own losses to remind Redel of the cruelty of war.

This is his first time to lead an army independently. The army cannot fail. Before the dust settles, even if it has an absolute advantage, it cannot relax at all! Redel kept reminding himself in his heart!

When the sun rises again, the German High Seas Fleet will once again be galloping across the Atlantic Ocean!
Chapter completed!
