Iron Germany

The current carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy, although it is still a biplane. However, due to the improvement of engine technology, the bomb load and speed of carrier-based aircraft have been greatly improved. It can be said that whether it is a fighter or a bomber, they are already far ahead of their German opponents. And Germany's next-generation fighter plane is an all-metal monoplane, which is more powerful than these metal skeletons and a skin-wrapped biplane. It's just that if the next generation of fighters wants to enter service, I'm afraid it will take some time.

In the sky, the carrier-based aircraft that took off from the aircraft carrier of the German Navy flew south in a neat formation. Through the Atlantic Fleet, they can accurately know the position of the US fleet, thus saving the process of searching for the enemy.

Even if there are no enemy aircraft in this sea area, the carrier-based aircraft units of the German Navy fly in strict tactical formation. Bombers and torpedo planes are below the fleet, and fighter jets are above the fleet, so that after discovering an enemy plane, the fighter jets can immediately jump down from high altitude and attack the enemy.

More than one hundred carrier-based aircraft flew to the battlefield from high altitude. Like a dark cloud moving in the sky, it left a large shadow on the sea, as if the sun was blocked.

In the waters near San Miguel Island, the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet is retreating northward, but under their intentional control, the speed of retreat is not fast, and the distance from the US fleet is also constantly getting closer. However, because the two sides were more than 20 kilometers apart before, it would take several hours for the US fleet to catch up. During this period of time, it was enough to last until the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy's aircraft carrier fleet rushed to the battlefield.

"Commander, the carrier-based aircraft has already set off and is expected to arrive at the battlefield in 40 minutes." Vice Admiral Schmidt, chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet, smiled.

"Then wait for the Americans to continue to show off their power for 40 minutes! Soon, they will suffer heavy losses under the attack of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft. At that time, we will send them all to the bottom of the sea!" Burdick The lieutenant general said with a smile.

With the strength of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, even if it cannot sink all the capital ships of the US fleet, it is enough to severely damage them. At that time, the Atlantic Fleet will naturally be able to easily eliminate the remaining troops of the US Fleet.

Although the US fleet is advancing at full speed, although the distance from the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet is constantly getting closer, it is even within the maximum range of the main gun. However, firing at this distance will cause the impact point to deviate by thousands of meters. Under such circumstances, firing is just a waste of shells.

At the same time, Admiral Henry Mayo, the commander of the US fleet, became more and more uneasy, as if there was some danger waiting for them ahead.

"Damn it, what's going on here? Could it be that all this is really a German trap? Otherwise, why do I feel like my heart is jumping?" Admiral Henry Mayo wondered inwardly.

"How long will we be able to catch up with the Germans?" Admiral Henry Mayo asked.

"General, we still need about four hours to catch up with the Germans. In two hours, however, our main guns will be ready to fire. By that time, the distance will be within our effective range. " Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Henry Wilson said.

"Two hours? Make sure again, is there any German fleet nearby!" Admiral Henry Mayo was not at ease.

"Okay, General." Lieutenant General Henry Wilson nodded.

Soon, they were reported that there was no other German fleet except the German Atlantic Fleet around.

Admiral Henry Mayo frowned tightly, he always felt that something was wrong. However, I can't tell, I don't know what is wrong.

Soon, Admiral Henry Mayo knew where the problem was.

Half an hour later, the carrier-based aircraft units of the German Navy had already flown over the battlefield. When the overwhelming fleet appeared over the fleet, the officers and soldiers of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet cheered.

The officers and soldiers of the US fleet also saw this scene. However, unlike the cheers of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, they were silent, and some people even trembled.

"My God! Is that a German plane? How come there are so many planes?"

"Damn it, there is a German aircraft carrier nearby! Bastard, we actually forgot about this." Admiral Henry Mayo's face was ashen. He finally knew what was wrong in his heart. It turned out that the aircraft carrier of the German Navy was omitted.

"But general, we have searched the nearby sea area of ​​100 kilometers, but we haven't found any German aircraft carrier!" Lieutenant General Henry Wilson couldn't believe it.

"It's very simple. The German aircraft carrier must be 100 kilometers away! In terms of the speed and range of the aircraft, the distance of more than 100 kilometers is nothing at all!"

Lieutenant General Henry Wilson's face suddenly turned pale.

"Command the fleet and switch to the air defense formation! May God bless us, and hope we can survive!" Admiral Henry Mayo said.

Indeed, now they can only pin their hopes on God's blessing. This undoubtedly indicated that Admiral Henry Mayo was not sure of surviving the attack of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force.

The U.S. fleet, which was originally in a decisive battle formation, immediately dispersed. Cruisers and destroyers even protect the battleships in the middle. A door of anti-aircraft guns pointed in the direction of the attack of the German carrier-based aircraft.

Although the United States has no experience in fighting enemy aircraft carriers, the British Navy has! They shared the tactics they summed up with the US Navy. This enabled the U.S. fleet to respond correctly when encountering German carrier-based aircraft.

"Discover the US fleet, fighter jets suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, bombers and torpedo planes, wait for the opportunity to launch an attack, and kill them all!" The commander of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force issued an attack order.

The fighter jets immediately accelerated towards the US fleet, preparing to use aviation machine guns to shoot at the anti-aircraft artillery positions on the US warships, clearing the way for the subsequent attacks of bombers and torpedo planes.

The bombers and torpedo planes followed behind. The aviation armor-piercing shells and torpedoes they carry will pose a deadly threat to the huge battleships of the US fleet.
