BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1536: reinforcements arrive
However, it is a pity that they were blocked by the German anti-aircraft fire. A dive bomber was blasted to pieces on the spot, and several other dive bombers were hit by intensive firepower before they had time to dive. Even if it took a risk to dive, it was destroyed on the spot by the powerful anti-aircraft firepower. Scattered aircraft debris hit the sea like rain.
Several torpedo attack aircraft began to descend in altitude, trying to attack from the flank. However, the **** battleship of the aircraft carrier "Hestia" has long been eyeing them.
Intensive anti-aircraft firepower enveloped the past, and one torpedo attack plane was hit during the descent stage, and it was too late to launch the torpedo before it fell into the sea.
"God! Sir, it is very difficult for us to break through the dense German anti-aircraft firepower and launch an attack on their aircraft carrier." A US carrier-based aircraft squadron leader said with some despair. Their attack is completely like sending them to death. A frame of carrier-based aircraft has completely become the target of the German anti-aircraft firepower.
The U.S. carrier-based aircraft commander also frowned. The German anti-aircraft firepower far exceeded their expectations. Compared with the anti-aircraft firepower of the German army, the anti-aircraft firepower of the US military is like a joke.
"No, we can learn the tactics of the Germans. First hit the firepower to attack the outer warships, and then attack the aircraft carrier!" The US carrier-based aircraft commander suddenly thought.
The attack tactics of the German carrier-based aircraft have also been the object of study for the US carrier-based aircraft force. At the beginning, when the German carrier-based aircraft attacked the aircraft carrier of the island navy, it also adopted this tactic. It\'s just that the U.S. Navy didn\'t pay attention to it at the time. In other words, they haven\'t participated in actual combat, so they don\'t know the value of such tactics.
"Attention all squadrons, attack the **** warships of the German aircraft carrier first, and then attack their aircraft carrier!" The US carrier-based aircraft commander ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The US carrier-based aircraft pilots all replied.
It\'s just that they wake up a little too late. Under the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of the German fleet, the US carrier-based aircraft have suffered great losses. It is not so difficult to rely on these carrier-based aircraft to severely damage or even sink the German aircraft carrier!
When the first batch of carrier-based aircraft of the US military attacked the German aircraft carrier formation, the air battle in the sky began again. Hundreds of German air defense fighters launched an attack on the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the US military.
"Boom boom boom!"
The machine guns fired wildly, and one after another, the US carrier-based aircraft fell to the sea while burning.
The **** fighter jets of the U.S. military desperately want to intercept the German air defense fighter jets, and strive for a chance to penetrate the defense for their dive bombers and torpedo attack planes.
The air battle was very intense, and fighter planes were constantly shot down. In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, the German fighter pilots also worked desperately. They completely ignored the **** fighter jets of the US military, and tried their best to attack the dive bombers and torpedo attack planes that did not exist. This also made them shoot down many US dive bombers and torpedo attack planes, and at the same time they had a high chance of being shot down.
"Oh my god!" The dive bombers and torpedo attack planes of the U.S. Army were almost chased away by the German anti-aircraft fighter jets, and fled in all directions. However, these fighter planes carrying heavy bombs and torpedoes are inherently very clumsy, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to avoid the attack of German air defense fighter jets.
"Go to hell, American!"
A German anti-aircraft fighter opened fire violently. It\'s just that the machine gun shells have been fired, so it can only be fired with aviation machine guns. Moreover, the bullets of the aviation machine guns are running out.
The fierce air battle before has consumed most of their ammunition. So much so that in the battle against the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the US military, they were a little timid.
The dense bullets hit a US torpedo attack aircraft with billowing smoke, and the aircraft fell directly to the sea.
But at the same time, an F4U fighter jet of the US military also took the opportunity to tear the German carrier-based BF-109 fighter jet into pieces with an aviation machine gun.
"Damn, I have no bullets!" A German pilot said helplessly.
"I\'m about to run out of bullets!"
Many German fighter jets could only stare blankly after running out of ammunition. Although they can fly planes to interfere with those carrier-based planes of the US military, there is nothing they can do about them. After all, you can\'t really drive a plane to hit an American plane.
On the aircraft carrier \'Zeus\', Admiral Rolf Karls, commander of the German Atlantic Fleet, was watching the naval battle with a serious face. The carrier-based aircraft of the US military is besieging the aircraft carrier "Hestia". However, under the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of the German fleet, the US carrier-based aircraft suffered a lot of losses. It seems that it is no longer able to pose a fatal threat to the "Hestia" aircraft carrier.
"General, most of our air defense fighter jets have run out of ammunition, and it is no longer possible to stop the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the US military." Lieutenant General George Friedberg reported.
Admiral Rolf Karls couldn\'t help frowning tightly. If the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy joins in, it will definitely put more pressure on the German aircraft carrier formation.
However, Admiral Rolf Karls also knew that the air defense fighter pilots of their own side had already done their best.
"Let the fleet get ready!" Admiral Rolf Karls said.
In the absence of a solution, they can only rely on the fleet\'s own anti-aircraft firepower.
"General, the fighter jets that took off from the Azores directly rushed towards the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the US military." Suddenly, a staff officer reported.
"What? They finally arrived." Admiral Rolf Karls could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Before they asked the shore-based forces on the Azores to send a group of fighter jets to support them. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, reinforcements finally arrived.
"General, that\'s great. It seems that our crisis can be resolved." Lieutenant General George Friedberg laughed.
In the sky, 108 FW-190 fighter jets from three brigades that took off from the Azores joined the attack on the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the US military.
