Chapter 1528： Attack target (seeking monthly ticket)

"Your Excellency, our air defense fighters have suffered a lot. However, they have also shot down a lot of German aircraft. Now, they are still desperately intercepting the German aircraft fleet." Lieutenant General Halsey reported to Admiral Nimitz road.

"Well! They are all warriors of the United States of America." Admiral Nimitz said.

With its backward performance, the U.S. air defense fighter jets were able to intercept the huge carrier-based fleet of the German Navy, which is undoubtedly very rare. Of course, they also paid an unimaginable price for this.

However, what worries Admiral Nimitz is only the first fleet of the German Navy. It is conceivable that there will definitely be many batches of German aircraft groups attacking them in the future. After all, the German Navy has twenty aircraft carriers, and almost all of them are large aircraft carriers. The number of carrier-based aircraft carried by these aircraft carriers is much more than the 24 aircraft carriers of the US Navy.

Now facing the first fleet of the German Navy, they have already suffered heavy losses. Next, facing the other fleets of the German Navy, what will they use to intercept them? At that time, I'm afraid they will have to rely on their own fleet's air defense firepower.

"Boom boom boom! Da da da!"

In the sky, the fierce battle between the carrier-based aircraft of both sides is still going on. However, with the passage of time, the airspace of the battle has become closer and closer to the sea area where the US fleet's aircraft carrier formation is located. Although, the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy were constantly shot down. But they are always flying in that direction.

"Damn it, the Germans are about to rush over our fleet. They still have so many dive bombers and torpedo attack planes. They must shoot down more German bombers!" The US air defense fighter commander ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The remaining US air defense fighter pilots were full of momentum.

Although there are still more than a hundred of these air defense fighters left. However, the number of **** fighter jets of the German army is still more than 60. The number of those dive bombers and torpedo attack planes exceeded 180. It is undoubtedly very difficult for these air defense fighters of the US Navy to intercept those dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft. What's more, the German Navy's dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft fleets are only one step away from their aircraft carrier formations.

"Da da da!"

An F4F fighter jet hit a German torpedo attack aircraft, set it on fire, and fell into the sea. But at the same time, this F4F fighter was also disintegrated in the air by a FW-190 fighter of the German army.

The fierce battle is still going on. One after another the planes were shot down from the sky. There are not only German dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, but also US **** fighter jets. Occasionally, German FW-190 fighter jets or BF-109 fighter jets were shot down. Even if the German fighter jets have advanced performance, they will still be shot down in melee.

"God! I was bitten, who will rescue me?" A US military pilot yelled in horror.

However, as soon as his voice fell, the German fighter jets diving from high altitude opened fire. Machine gun shells blasted the glass cockpit to pieces. Also torn apart was the American pilot. After the plane lost control, it fell into the sea.

The battle airspace of the two sides is getting closer and closer to the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation.

"God! I saw the American aircraft carrier formation. There are too many of their aircraft carriers!" A German pilot exclaimed.

"No matter how many aircraft carriers the Americans have, we will sink them all!"

"Fighter squadron, continue to intercept the American **** fighter jets. Dive bomber squadron and torpedo attack squadron, it's up to you next." The German fleet commander ordered.

"Understood, sir!" The squadron leaders replied.

"Your Excellency, the German fleet is very close to our aircraft carrier formation, and their attack is about to begin." Lieutenant General Halsey replied.

Although the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet has been weakened, the number of aircraft fleets is still very large. Therefore, even Lieutenant General Halsey was a little nervous.

"The next battle will be handed over to our anti-aircraft firepower. Trust our anti-aircraft firepower, we will be able to withstand the German attack!" Admiral Nimitz said.

"Order the air defense fighters to withdraw from the battle to avoid being accidentally injured. The fleet's anti-aircraft fire opened fire and shot down the German planes. For the American Republic, fight to the end!" Admiral Nimitz issued an order.

"Long live the American Republic!" The officers and soldiers of the US Navy aircraft carrier formation shouted one after another.

Although, many Americans are on the battlefield for the first time, which makes them a little nervous when facing the huge German carrier-based fleet. Many people are even sweating in their palms. However, this did not prevent their eyes from being filled with determination. They are full of confidence in the next battle.

"Fire!"

Following the commander's order, the warships of the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation began to shoot.

The first to fire is the 127mm anti-aircraft guns. These large-caliber anti-aircraft guns have a long range and are also very powerful. Whether it is a destroyer, a cruiser, or an aircraft carrier, the warships of the US Navy are all equipped with this large-caliber anti-aircraft gun.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The shells of the anti-aircraft guns exploded in the air, leaving clouds of black smoke and shrapnel in all directions.

An unlucky dive bomber was hit by a 127mm anti-aircraft gun shell. Even though the body structure of the dive bomber is relatively strong, it still cannot withstand such large-caliber shells. In the explosion, the dive bomber was torn to pieces on the spot. The pilot was also killed on the spot, unable to even parachute.

The fleet of the German Navy has now been dispersed. On the sea, 24 aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy, plus a large number of **** warships, are densely packed, occupying a large area of ​​the sea.

Although the German Navy has a large number of carrier-based aircraft groups, it is impossible to cover everything. Therefore, they can only choose the target of the key attack.

"Attention all dive bombers and torpedo attack squadrons, attack the aircraft carriers located in the southwest corner. Our goal is to eliminate these aircraft carriers first. For the rest of the aircraft carriers, leave the follow-up brothers!" The German army said Commander orders.

"Yes, sir!"

A large number of German carrier-based aircraft began to pounce on the US aircraft carrier formation. Their goal is obviously the US Navy's 2nd aircraft carrier formation. This is mainly because the "Essex-class" aircraft carrier appears to be larger.
