Chapter 1216

"If the Fuehrer didn't insist! I will definitely cancel this kind of mutually expendable attack. " Lutjans looked at the loss of the second wave of attack aircraft group. Some of them complained bitterly to the side Marshal Ryder: "look! have a look! Two attacks cost me about 50 planes! It's killing me

Reidel is also a little afraid of loss. After all, the family of Germany is pouring out now. In case of a little mistake, even if he is hanged, he will be nailed to the stigma of Germany forever.

However, after thinking about the order given to him by akado and the analysis report on the construction speed of the US Navy warships, he finally made up his mind to fight to the death. He clenched his teeth and gave a vicious order to lutjans: "send the fifth wave of attack troops immediately. We must obey the order of the head of state!"

"God! I hope the Fuehrer is right this time! " Lutjans grabbed a phone call in front of him and gave an order to the other end: "continue to take off and attack the fleet... Sink the British aircraft carrier Royal ark and the two American aircraft carriers at any cost! This is an order! Execute now Long live the Fuehrer

At the far end of the sea, the Royal ark of the Royal Navy, with a beautiful turn, dodged the deadly threat of a torpedo. Dudley Pound's Prayer seems to have worked, making this time the flagship of the British navy, once again brush past death.

On the other side, however, things are not so simple on the other side of the US aircraft carrier fleet. Because of the lack of sufficient air defense weapons, the temporarily refitted escort aircraft carrier was finally hit by a bomb dropped by a German carrier based aircraft on the originally not spacious deck. The huge explosion immediately destroyed the ability of the escort aircraft carrier to take off and land aircraft, even because the explosion was so close to the chimney that even the boiler was affected.

The flame was burning, more than ten meters high. The smoke was so thick that the nearby allied escort ships could not see what was happening on the deck. A nearby destroyer sent a telegram to the Royal ark about the news that the escort carrier had been hit: "there was too much smoke. I saw a fire, but I couldn't see anything else."

On the Royal ark, Dudley pound found his palms full of sweat. He clenched his fists and nearly stabbed his palms with his nails because he was too nervous. The Royal ark narrowly avoided the attack just now, but because it wanted to avoid these German planes, the formation of the whole fleet became more messy.

"Come on! Come on! Take off all the fighters that can take off! Stop the German goddamn plane! hurry up! At once The commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, who felt that the situation was beyond his control, had nothing to do at this moment but madly issue one combat order after another.

What he didn't know was that because his orders were issued too frequently, the US Navy Fleet, which was not trained, was in a mess.

"Are you kidding? Let's turn around, and then we'll take off again? Which order should I execute first? " Looking at the telegram, an officer complained to his boss: "there are more outrageous things... At the beginning, he ordered us to approach the Germans desperately, but now we are going to run away with our tails in our hands..."

"Shut up! Keep the current course and take off the remaining carrier based aircraft. Now The U.S. captain also had to carry out the order of Dudley pound as much as possible, so as to alleviate the current dangerous situation. He knew that the remaining carrier based aircraft in his hand was almost the whole fleet, and the final air defense depended on it.

Above the sky, the pilots of the US carrier based aircraft, who had managed to regroup, found that they had only seven fighters left. In the sky not far away from them, hundreds of German airplanes flew in. These airplanes were the fourth batch of attack aircraft group of the German Navy. There were 20 fw-190 fighters alone.

The absolute gap between the two sides was finally revealed at about 2 p.m. the German high seas fleet with seven aircraft carriers finally overpowered the allied fleet with the number of carrier based aircraft. The roar of the engine in the sky is melodious and solemn, but at this moment, the mood of both sides is very different.

The seven US fighter planes that survived the third batch of attacks had to bite their teeth and rush to the fleet of German planes. In this batch of clusters, the first batch of Ace Pilots in the fleet, Jingte? Lal, I'm ready to fight again. Unfortunately, none of the American fighter pilots who fought with him in the morning is here.

The rest of the US carrier based fighters are no longer able to compete with the elite German carrier based fighters. They even have no chance to escape, so they are submerged in the sea of German carrier based fighters. The P-40 fighters that just took off can no longer interfere with the German attack fleet. They can only hover carefully at the edge of the battlefield to avoid the pursuit of the German fighters.

"I said earlier that our number one enemy is the German Navy, not the Japanese dwarfs who are afraid to fight!" Putting down his telescope, the captain of the US aircraft carrier Franklin said to his adjutant: "in terms of combat effectiveness, these Germans are much more difficult to deal with than the Japanese!"

On the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese Navy and the aviation forces are very dangerous enemies, and the US military has suffered all kinds of losses in front of these enemies. However, when facing the German, the pressure from the US made the captain of the us make a more difficult judgment on the German carrier based aircraft. As soon as his words came to an end, he had been burning and smoking. The escort aircraft carrier, which had been devastated by the third wave of German attack aircraft, failed to withstand the bombs dropped by the new enemy. During the violent explosion, the refitted aircraft carrier began to sink slowly, and even the fuel inside the ship leaked to the nearby sea“ The message from the British navy, cruiser Melly, sank... "An American officer went to his commander and handed a telegram. At the same time, the fourth batch of German aircraft had begun to dive attack, crashing in the messy allied fleet“ Get those planes down! Get those planes down! Hurry up On the side of the Ramirez battleship, the air defense commanders pointed to the target in the sky and let the anti-aircraft guns around them open fire quickly. Because there is no radio proximity fuse like the German Navy, the Allied air defense firepower is not as dense as they thought. German aircraft shuttled through the allied fleet, causing more or less trouble to various warships“ What the hell? Are the British and Americans crazy? " Reidel looked at the intelligence about the second batch of attack aircraft troops, and looked at lutjans around him for some inexplicable reasons: "they change their course so frequently, don't they think their fleet is chaotic fast enough?"“ In the morning... The allied fleet is still trying to get close to us... Maybe they think that their battleships and cruisers should give full play to their absolute superiority in artillery? " Lutjans, looking at some of the analysis reports on allied ships, frowned and replied to Reidel. They can now confirm that there are only two battleships in the allied fleet opposite. This information has been repeatedly confirmed, and there is no possibility of error - then the question comes. The allied fleet has been relying on the German fleet with three battleships to fight with each other. Who is their courage“ Two planes claimed that they hit a British battleship... After that, the British stopped moving closer to us... "RedAll thought a little and guessed the general situation:" the British must have not found our other two battleships! They don't have a reconnaissance plane close, so they don't know our real strength yet! " Lutjans also thought that it should be like this: "when they had two battleships, they tried their best to get close to them. Now they were hurt by us and hesitated. This shows that they are not sure to kill our admiral immediately, so they changed the operation plan temporarily. It must be“ They haven't turned around yet. They are waiting for other battleships near Iceland! They want to surround us! " Originally, Germany had been monitoring the Royal Navy sub fleet near Iceland. Now after a little deliberation, Reidel immediately guessed the plan of Dudley pound: "what a good appetite!"“ Then we'll give them a chance to eat us! " From the beginning of the naval battle until now, lutjans had a smile on his face: "in the daytime, we will destroy the fleet in front of us first, and in the night, we will surprise the British battleship troops again!"“ The third attack group is returning. They have hit an aircraft carrier, the smallest one! " An officer went to the bridge of the aircraft carrier Empire, holding a telegram he had just received, and reported to Ryder and lutjansworth: "a cruiser was sunk, and the Royal ark was not hit..." "hello? I am lutjans He grabbed the phone in front of him and gave a new command to the hangar: "continue to prepare ammunition and aircraft! The Sixth Batch of attack aircraft is on standby. If you don't receive my order, you will take off on time in half an hour! " Putting down the phone, lutjans looked at Marshal Ryder: "maybe in the evening, the battleship of the other side has no courage to attack us! My Marshal
