Iron Germany

Chapter 1532 Fighter Takes Off

On the deck of the "Zeus" high aircraft carrier, 16 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets are parked. These fighter jets have already done all the preparations before takeoff, and the pilots have already sat in the cockpit. As long as the commander gives an order, they can take off immediately.

This is not only the case of the "Zeus" aircraft carrier, but also the eight aircraft carriers of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet aircraft carrier formation. The only difference is that there are 16 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets on the deck of the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier. On the deck of the "Constellation-class" aircraft carrier are 15 carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets.

These fighters not only include the fighters of the original fighter brigade, but also include spare fighters. In order to resist the upcoming attack of the US Navy, the German Navy used all the spare fighters.

"General, our carrier-based aircraft must have started to attack the American aircraft carrier now. I don't know how many American aircraft carriers they can sink." Vice Admiral George Friedberg, chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet face of anticipation.

"Calculating the time, they should launch an attack. However, the American air defense fighters should not be underestimated. Although their fighters are not as good as our fighters, they have no problem dealing with our dive bombers and ground attack aircraft. said Admiral Rolf Karls. For this point, Admiral Rolf Karls has always had a clear understanding.

"General, our carrier fleet reported that they broke through the interception of the American anti-aircraft fighter jets. However, the loss of the fleet was very large. Forty fighter jets, hundreds of dive bombers and torpedo attack planes were shot down." A staff officer reported.

After hearing the news, Admiral Rolf Kars couldn't help trembling. Such a loss is undoubtedly very large for them. You know, the first batch of carrier-based aircraft that took off only had a total of more than 350 carrier-based aircraft. The current loss has reached 40%. The next attack on the aircraft carrier formation of the US fleet has to face the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship. Obviously, the loss of the first batch of carrier-based aircraft groups will be very large.

Lieutenant General George Friedberg's face was also very ugly.

"It is obviously unrealistic for our 96 fighters to face almost twice the number of American fighters. It is obviously unrealistic to provide complete protection for dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft. What about the situation of American air defense fighters? ?” Admiral Rolf Karls asked.

"General, the American air defense fighters have also lost a lot. Up to now, there are only dozens of them struggling to support them. It is only a matter of time before we solve them all." The staff officer said.

"Very well, the first group of aircraft used their own sacrifices to solve the American anti-aircraft fighters. It cleared the way for the second batch of carrier-based aircraft groups, even the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Home Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet. Both the local fleet and the Mediterranean fleet have to thank us!" Admiral Rolf Karls said.

Although he still had a smile on his face, everyone could see that his smile was so forced. One could even guess that his heart must be bleeding.

The loss of so many carrier-based aircraft and pilots is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Atlantic Fleet's carrier-based aircraft force!

"General, as long as you can defeat the Americans in this naval battle, no matter how much you lose, it will be worth it." Lieutenant General George Friedberg said.

Admiral Rolf Karls nodded: "Send the seaplane to that sea area to rescue the pilots who fell into the water. They are all our elites, and we must rescue them as much as possible."

"Yes, General." Lieutenant General George Friedberg immediately went to make arrangements.

Indeed, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft launched by the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy suffered very heavy losses during the battle. However, they nearly exhausted the US Navy's air defense fighters. This provides convenience to other fleets. Whether it is the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the Atlantic Fleet, or the carrier-based aircraft of the local fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet, they can not be intercepted by the U.S. Navy's air defense fighter jets and directly attack the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier formation, effectively reducing these fleet loss. Allow these fleets to project more powerful firepower to American aircraft carriers, thereby sinking more American aircraft carriers.

When the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft group attacked the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier formation, the carrier-based aircraft groups that took off from the U.S. Navy's 1st and 4th aircraft carrier formations were also heading south rapidly, trying to attack the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet. Attack.

When these fleets were less than 300 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, the air search radar discovered these carrier-based aircraft.

"Report, General. We found a large aircraft fleet heading southward quickly, and it is determined to be the carrier aircraft fleet of the U.S. Navy!" a staff officer reported.

"Order the air defense fighters to take off immediately! We must destroy the American dive bombers and torpedo attack planes as much as possible!" Admiral Rolf Karls ordered.

He knew that now it was time for them to face the test. If they cannot withstand the attack of the American carrier-based aircraft group, they will have to pay a heavy price. Although, the air defense firepower of the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation is more intensive. But no one wants to test their anti-aircraft firepower against the enemy's dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.

"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to give the order.

"Wait a minute, let the air defense fighter take off, circle around and meet the enemy again. Let the American carrier-based aircraft not know the exact location of our formation. In this way, one minute of delay is one minute." Rolf? Admiral Kars ordered.

It will take time for the German Navy's air defense fighters to knock down the U.S. Navy's carrier-based fleet. If the U.S. Navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet can't find the position of the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation for a long time, this can buy more time for the German Navy's air defense fighters. In that case, it may be possible to shoot down more US Navy carrier-based aircraft. Thereby providing more protection to the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation.

"Yes, General!"

"call out!"

A carrier-based FW-190 fighter took off from the aircraft carrier "Zeus", and the other seven aircraft carriers also began to scramble to take off carrier-based aircraft. After these carrier-based fighter jets took off, they made a circle in the air before speeding up and flying towards the US carrier-based aircraft group.
