The bombers ignored the battered Baltimore-class and swooped straight for the carrier in the center of the formation.

The high-level dual-purpose guns on the deck of the Philippine Sea are firing at full speed, as if trying to drive away the flies overhead.

The eight boilers under deck also reached their maximum output, and with 150,000 horsepower, the aircraft carrier accelerated to the limit in a very short time.

Boom –

A bomb landed on the sea next to the aircraft carrier, and instantly stirred up a column of water that soared into the sky, hitting a lot of seawater on the deck of the Philippine Sea.

Like early anti-tank missiles, early guided bombs were quite dependent on human operation. In the case of quite heavy anti-aircraft fire, the bombardiers will have some mistakes in their operation.

Before the helmsman in the bridge could breathe a sigh of relief, another bomb exploded next to the carrier.

The 1.5-ton bomb was so powerful that even if it didn't hit directly, the impact of the explosion took away several anti-aircraft gun crews next to the carrier.

I have to say that the Philippine Sea was really lucky, although it ate several shots in a row, but it was not hit directly by any bombs.

This round of air raids by the Nazis naturally ended in failure.

"The enemy retreated. ”

Looking at the Ho229s who turned their heads to leave, Otoha couldn't help but sigh.

Jet fighters are much faster than pistons, and even Otowa can't do anything about them if these Nazis want to run.

……

"What is the status of the damage?"

"The Los Angeles has been bombed, and now the fire on the ship has been brought under control, and there is no way to continue to accompany the fleet. ”

"It's a blessing in misfortune. ”

Looking at the heavy patrol that was still emitting black smoke in the distance, Otowa couldn't help but sigh.

The Nazis were much stronger than she thought, and they were equipped with such a number of jets, but there were none on Otowa's side.

The fleet had just approached the South Pole, and the Nazis came to such a dismount, and God knows what kind of enemy they would encounter after landing?

"We need more strength, Major General Richard. ”

After Otowa finished speaking, he set his eyes on the person in charge of this operation.

Richard Evelyn Bird, Rear Admiral of the United States Navy, 20th century aviation pioneer, polar explorer. The first people to fly to the North and South Poles: over the North Pole in 1926 and the South Pole in 1929. He was also awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest honor in the United States, as well as the Order of the United States Congression.

"It's impossible, if we move a larger fleet, the whole world will know that there is something extraordinary here. ”

The rear admiral, who was in his late sixties, shook his head, and didn't seem to agree with Otowaba's statement.

"Then let the rear send us stronger equipment. Otowa slapped the table hard, then shouted, "We need fighters that can compete with the Nazis, or we will lose air supremacy over Antarctica." ”

Half of the 36 Panda fighters on board the Philippine Sea had already lost half of the battle just now, and the Nazis had only paid the price of 10 Ho229s.

Moreover, most of the 10 Ho229s were shot down by Otowa and if she hadn't turned the tide just now, the "pandas" might have been slaughtered.

"The carrier-based aircraft on the Philippine Sea are already the best. ”

"It's not enough. Otoha shook his head. "We need jet fighters!"

Does the US imperialists have jets in their hands? The answer is certain. The progress of Allied jets did not lag behind Germany, and as the big brother of the Allied Forces, the United States had already begun the mass production of jets.

However, Otowa's request is a bit difficult, first of all, the Philippine Sea has the ability to take off and land jets, and secondly, the P-80 is not a naval fighter jet.

As for the orthodox HNA fighters F2H Banshee and F9F Panther...... They will have to wait until next year to complete their first flight, and the service or something is even more of a matter of the year of the monkey.

"I'll submit a report to the top. Major General Richard put down the teacup in his hand, and then said slowly: "However, the deployment of jets requires special airfields, and we have to grab a piece of land in Antarctica now." ”

"The Nazis will not sit idly by. Otowa spoke a little helplessly.

"Then teach them a hard lesson. ”

……

From the very beginning, this fleet was ready to build an army in the Arctic, and the transport ships were loaded with all kinds of equipment, as well as quite a few fourth-class people...... Ahem, I mean the Marines escort.

"The reconnaissance aircraft did not detect the enemy on the beach. ”

"It doesn't look like we need to fight a Normandy-style landing battle. ”

After hearing the telegrapher's words, Captain Moulton couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Begin landing operations. ”

After glancing at his watch, Major General Richard spoke unhurriedly.

After receiving the order, the carrier-based planes piled up on the deck accelerated one after another, and then flew into the sky with a roar.

The Panda piloted by Otowa was also among them, but unlike last time, this time she was carrying a ground attack gear.

The fighter plane carried 8 HVAR and 2 small Tim rockets under the wings. With all this equipment, even if the Nazis drove the rat tanks over, Otowa would be able to teach them a lesson.

During the flight, Otowa maintained a fairly high level of vigilance.

Due to the stealth design of the Ho229, the radar has become unreliable, and the sound feather can only be alerted through its own eyes.

"These Nazis won't be scared by us, will they?"

"To put it bluntly, it's just a bunch of cowards. ”

"It's all thanks to Miss Witch. ”

……

These pilots were obviously much more open than the ground crew, and some even made jokes about Otowa.

In this regard, Otowa only smiled.

Compared to the previous one, the density of the fleet is actually much larger. In addition to the 18 Panda fighters, there are about 30 Skyraider attack aircraft.

The Sky Raider Otowa is no stranger to him, and Oarai has also used it in national competitions before, and the bomb load of this thing has left a very deep impression on Otowa.

Just as the fighters in the sky were cruising, the fourth-class people below finally started the landing operation.

The first to land were combat troops, and one after another tanks drove out of the landing craft and stepped onto the white and flawless snow.

The horses on these tanks are very energetic, after all, they are driving heavy tanks, when have the fourth class seen such high-end goods as Pershing?

The Marines were not idle after the landing, and immediately established a defensive line not far away.

That's right, the fleet is going to build a base on the coast this time.

The big ships and cannons are the biggest reliance of the Otowa team, and with the artillery support of heavy and light patrols, it is a fool's dream for the Nazis to take this place.
