BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1631: Attack target (seeking monthly ticket)
"The German capital ships are not a concern. However, their aircraft carriers must pay more attention!" Lieutenant General Halsey said.
"Indeed, the German aircraft carrier is very powerful, we must pay attention to it." Admiral Andrew Cunningham also said.
Even though the US-British combined fleet now has a total of 9 "Essex-class" aircraft carriers, four "Independence-class" light aircraft carriers and eight medium-sized aircraft carriers of the British Navy. In terms of number, it is already 2.5 times that of the eight aircraft carriers of the German Navy. However, in terms of the number of carrier-based aircraft, the US-British combined fleet is only about 1.5 times that of the German Navy. If the performance of the carrier-based aircraft and the quality of the pilots of both sides are taken into consideration, the US-British combined fleet has almost no advantage in terms of carrier-based aircraft.
Although, the carrier-based fighters carried on the aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy and the British Navy have all been replaced with advanced F4U fighters. This is undoubtedly an extremely advanced fighter. However, compared with the German Navy\'s carrier-based FW-190 fighter, the F4U fighter has no advantage at all, but is at a disadvantage. Coupled with the advantages of the German Navy\'s carrier-based aircraft pilots, the U.S. Navy\'s carrier-based aircraft is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. The only thing they can rely on is perhaps the advantage in numbers.
"No matter what, we already have an absolute advantage in this comparison of strength. As long as we grasp it well, it will definitely not be a problem to defeat the German Navy\'s home fleet. We must not miss this opportunity!" Admiral Ernest King said.
A group of generals from the American and British navies nodded their heads one after another. They also know that this opportunity should not be missed. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for them to find such an opportunity again.
"Gentlemen, half an hour later, the fleet set off to the southeastern waters of Greenland to search for traces of the German Navy\'s home fleet. Find them and annihilate them to win this naval battle!" Ernest ? Admiral Jin ordered.
"Yes, General!" Everyone replied.
"General Jin, if we are only dealing with the German Navy\'s home fleet, our advantage is undoubtedly great. But what if the German Navy\'s Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet go north? We may not have any advantage at that time." Admiral Andrew Cunningham was a little worried.
"Don\'t worry, General Cunningham. The German Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet have been dragged by us. Our Army Air Force is bombing Bermuda with a huge force. If the Germans don\'t want to see Bermuda If they are blown into ruins by us, they must leave a strong force in the waters around the Bermuda Islands. Only in this way can they protect the Bermuda Islands. And this will severely damage or even destroy the creation of the German Navy\'s home fleet. opportunity," said Admiral Ernest King.
Admiral Andrew Cunningham couldn\'t help but nodded when he heard the news. After the German Navy\'s Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet are held back, their chances of winning will undoubtedly be much greater.
"The strength of the German Navy\'s carrier-based aircraft must be very clear to everyone. The Army Air Force will inevitably pay a heavy price in order to hold back the German Navy\'s Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet. Therefore, we must hurry up and in the shortest possible time Only by defeating the German Navy\'s home fleet within the time limit." Admiral Ernest King said with a serious face.
The generals nodded again and again. They all knew that the opportunity of this decisive battle was bought for them by the U.S. Army Air Force with a relatively large sacrifice. This also makes them have to cherish this opportunity. Otherwise, it would be too sorry for the sacrifice of the US Army Air Forces.
Soon, the US-British United Fleet set off from the waters of Newfoundland to the waters southeast of Greenland to search for traces of the German Navy\'s home fleet. This time, the two navies jointly attacked, it can be said that they gathered all their main forces and planned to defeat the German Navy\'s home fleet in one fell swoop. Even the generals of these American and British navies are ambitious to annihilate the German Navy\'s home fleet in one fell swoop, thus giving them a greater advantage in the Atlantic Ocean.
In the waters southeast of Greenland, the German Navy\'s home fleet is here. Eight aircraft carriers and seven capital ships are the core combat power of the entire fleet. Such a powerful fleet is a powerful fleet even in the world. However, facing the joint efforts of the U.S. Navy and the British Navy, their strength is still at a disadvantage.
At this moment, the German Navy\'s home fleet is heading south at a low speed. It is obviously not safe to stay in the southeastern waters of Greenland. Once the US and British navies attack them, it will be difficult for them to resist. Only by uniting with the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet can they have a greater chance of winning.
"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the information obtained so far, the navies of the United States and Britain have gathered in the waters south of Newfoundland. However, they still have no choice when they already know that the Bermuda Islands have fallen into our hands. Go south." Lieutenant General Carl Witzel said with a frown.
Marshal Lütjens couldn\'t help laughing: "Obviously, the appetites of the Americans and the British are bigger than we imagined. Even though the Bermuda Islands have fallen into our hands, they still have no rescue. From now on It can be judged that they set their target on us and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill us in one fell swoop.
It seems that in the Azores naval battle, our poor performance made both the Americans and the British think that we are easy to bully. "
When Marshal Lütjens finished his last sentence, the smile on his face had completely disappeared. The U.S. Navy and the British Navy actually wanted to get rid of them. Then, the German Navy\'s home fleet must not be able to retreat. What\'s more, Marshal Lütjens also hopes to use a brilliant victory to let the world see that the German Navy\'s home fleet is the most powerful.
