"Boom boom boom!"

  An F4U fighter was hit by several 20mm cannon shells. The entire plane was torn to pieces in an instant. The pilot was also hit by shrapnel and was killed instantly.

  The German carrier-based FW-190 fighter that shot down the F4U fighter flew towards another target.

  Although the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the German Navy only allocated 10 squadrons, that is, 120 carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets to face the more than 130 F4U fighter jets of the US and British navies. However, they still gained an absolute upper hand in air combat. The carrier-based aircraft groups of the US and British navies were completely suppressed during the battle, and fighter planes were constantly shot down. In contrast, the **** fighter jets of the German Navy suffered very small losses.

   "Damn! The performance of the German carrier-based aircraft is still so good. Doesn't it mean that our F4U fighter jets are no worse than the German fighter jets? Why is there such a result?" An American pilot's words were full of helplessness.

   "Asshole, don't the people who designed the plane over there know how powerful the German fighter jets are?" Another pilot also complained.

   "God, I'm bitten, who will help me?" A pilot yelled in horror.

   But before the other pilots had time to rescue him, screams came from the earphones. Obviously, the plane driven by this pilot has been hit by the German carrier-based FW-190 fighter.

   "Damn, find a way to get rid of these fighter jets of the Germans and launch an attack on their dive bombers and torpedo attack planes. They cannot be allowed to attack our fleet. Otherwise, everything will be over!" an American commander ordered.

   "Sir, we simply cannot resist the attack of the German carrier-based fighter jets, let alone get rid of them." A U.S. military pilot replied very helplessly.

  Although, they all know very well that the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy are very threatening to the fleet. If you want to keep the fleet, you must find a way to shoot down the German dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft first. But sadly, that simply can't be done.

  This air battle is almost one-sided. Although some fighter planes were shot down by the German army, overall, they still gained a huge advantage. This allowed the German commander to continuously separate fighter planes to provide cover for dive bombers and torpedo attack planes. In order to facilitate the attack on the warships of the US and British navies, these fighters can suppress the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleships, thereby covering their own dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, and even further increasing the probability of hitting enemy ships.

"General, the result of the air battle is very unfavorable to us. Our loss is much higher than that of the Germans. Moreover, we cannot intercept the German aircraft fleet. The German dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft are rushing towards us. We are also getting closer. It is estimated that after fifteen minutes, an attack will be launched against us." Lieutenant General Halsey reported.

   Admiral Ernest King nodded. He also knew that the fighter pilots on board his side had already done their best. However, the enemies are too strong, making them completely overwhelmed.

   "May God bless us! I hope our fleet's anti-aircraft firepower can stand the test this time!" Admiral Ernest King said.

   Lieutenant General Halsey didn't say much, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

   Time passed little by little, and the German Navy's carrier-based fleet was getting closer and closer to the US and British fleets. Soon, they flew to a place only ten kilometers away from the US and British fleets.

   "Fire!"

   Following the command of the commander, the anti-aircraft firepower of the US and British fleets began to fire. The 127mm anti-aircraft guns began to roar, sending powerful shells into the sky.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  The shell exploded in the air, leaving clouds of black smoke. During the explosion, shrapnel was scattered in all directions.

  The anti-aircraft artillery shells in this time and space still use timed fuzes, so that the shells can explode at a fixed height. As for more advanced proximity fuzes, both Germany and the United States are still developing them. However, because of its early start and huge investment, Germany has now made breakthrough progress. It is expected that soon, the anti-aircraft guns of the German navy, army and air force will be replaced with this kind of fuze, so as to further improve the anti-aircraft firepower.

   "Boom!"

  A dive bomber seemed to be unlucky, and was hit directly by a 127mm anti-aircraft gun shell.

  The huge power instantly tore the dive bomber into pieces.

   "Spread out and prepare to launch an attack. Prioritize the attack on the large German aircraft carriers, get rid of them first, and then deal with those medium-sized and light aircraft carriers!" The German carrier-based aircraft commander issued an order.

  As for the large number of capital ship formations of the US and British fleets, no one cares about them. I have to admit that those huge capital ships look very mighty and majestic on the sea. But the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet will not make fatal mistakes like the Americans and British. Their goals are very clear, which are the aircraft carriers of the US Navy and the British Navy. That's their primary goal. Unless those aircraft carriers are sunk and there are remaining ammunition, they will attack the capital ships of the US and British navies.

   "Boom boom boom!"

  As the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft group got closer, all the anti-aircraft firepower of the US and British fleets began to shoot. A large number of 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns have become the main force of anti-aircraft firepower. Although the 127mm anti-aircraft gun is powerful, it has a long range. But the rate of fire is too slow, and in such a battle, its role is undoubtedly very limited.

  The shells are constantly exploding in the air, which looks thrilling. The dense anti-aircraft firepower network looks so powerful, as if it wants to tear all the enemy fighter planes that break into it to pieces.

  If you are a rookie who has just entered the battlefield, you may be intimidated by such anti-aircraft firepower. However, for the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the German Navy, they are already experienced veterans, so they naturally know where the loopholes are in this seemingly dangerous anti-aircraft firepower.

   "Start the attack, first eliminate the **** warships on the outer network, and then attack the core aircraft carrier. Let the Americans and the British see where the gap between them and us is!"

   "Yes, sir!" The pilots responded in unison.

   One after another, the German Navy's carrier-based planes rushed towards the US Navy and the aircraft carrier formation. The nine 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers became their primary targets.
